Chapter 370: The missing undead

Views:

When the moon was in the sky, Fernando finally told the truth what he wanted to say. This was originally a welcome party. No matter what irreconcilable conflicts the two parties had, at least it had to be decent, otherwise it would look too stingy and make people laugh. Who knew that Fernando actually turned the welcome meeting into a military meeting. Strictly speaking, this was unnecessary. In the entire town of Moramachi, almost no one in An Fei's area knew military knowledge except Jiu Morocosa. And Kumarajiva was not present, so Fernando was simply playing the piano to an ox.

Fernando not only told his plan, but also displayed the strategic goals at each stage. The two sides did not exchange information about Blackwater City, but Fernando proposed the idea of a joint north-south attack. Obviously, he understood the situation in Blackwater City and even more. Blackwater City has the strength to switch from defense to offense. An Fei felt relieved when he thought of the Eagle King Mangshu mentioned by Fernando just now.

Fernando also told something that puzzled all countries. After being caught off guard at the beginning, all countries mobilized all their potentials, deployed defenses, stabilized the front, and tried to gain breathing time. However, the undead creature's offensive fell into a trap. During the weak period, their number was far lower than estimated, but almost all the necromancers disappeared inexplicably.

Taking the country of mercenaries as an example, the population in the Hengduan Valley is not high, but the further north you go, the denser the population becomes. Villages and towns of all sizes are dotted together. Some villages and towns are only a dozen or even a few miles apart. , and this large area was looted by the undead creatures from the beginning, and few people escaped. According to the most conservative estimate. The number of undead creatures in this area has reached about 250,000. The 250,000 undead creatures are enough to allow hundreds of necromancers to advance and keep hundreds of necromancers with abundant magic power at all times. In other words, this area There should be an undead magic group in the area.

The actual situation is not like this. The number of undead creatures is at most between 100,000 and 150,000, and the necromancer has not seen a single one, so. Where have the more than 100,000 undead creatures gone? And this is not an isolated phenomenon. Various countries have reported similar intelligence feedback.

Undead creatures have evolved intelligence, and they often kill each other. This is not a new thing. Many people know it, but more than half of them are lost in cannibalism... This explanation is a bit far-fetched, and even more The strange thing is, why does the Necromancer never intervene

Know yourself and your enemy. It is common sense to be victorious in every battle. The problem is that those necromancers are familiar with the situation in the mainland. They do not know everything about the situation in the mainland, but they are not far behind. There are even some self-destructive people who are willing to inform the necromancers. Act as a spy. On the other hand, the internal structure of the Necromancer. Intelligence agents from various countries have at most been able to get some superficial information, but cannot understand much at all, because that is a road of no return. If you want to gain the trust of the necromancers, you must first become one of them. But if you have become an undead creature, how can you serve the original monarch

However, Fernando, who was eager to open up the situation, couldn't care less. He has decided to start the expedition tomorrow. The vanguard army will go north along the trade route, followed by the Chinese army. As a supervisor, Chris will set off with the army. Fernando begged An Fei to lead some mercenaries to go together. One of his goals was to rescue the trapped mercenaries, spread favors widely, and lay the foundation for the development of the church. However, it was relatively difficult for him to deal with mercenaries, so it was better to let him The mercenaries went to communicate with their companions themselves. An Fei hesitated for a moment and then agreed to Fernando's request. It was their established policy to attract more mercenaries to join the major alliance. Even if Fernando didn't say anything, he would still find a way to go with them. However, Fernando made this request first, which made An Fei feel a little contempt in his heart. He knew that the two sides were not on the same side, but he still asked for help, which was tantamount to giving up the benefits. Maybe he is too young, so the other party despises him first, but no matter who despises whom first, there will always be a day when he will fall out and see the truth. An Fei is not afraid, the backer behind him is too huge, enough Grind Fernando into powder.

Regarding the issue of staying behind and baggage, Fernando said that he would not interfere with Anfei. Most of the baggage would be taken away and the rest would be kept in the town of Moramachi. As for where to keep it, it was up to Anfei to decide. He did not put forward any opinions, or even You can take away all the soldiers and give the town of Moramachi absolute freedom. Alice was the first to object without waiting for An Fei to express her stance. She asked Fernando to leave at least 30,000 infantrymen and a priest group in the town of Mora March, and the underground city of Mora March Town could also be opened to them. .

Fernando said that the Shield of Light Legion would sweep away all the undead creatures along the way. The town of Mora March is very safe. There is no need to leave so many soldiers. They should be placed on the battlefield. Alice insisted on her opinion and would never give in. Fernando remained silent. After a moment, he agreed to Alice's request.

Watching Fernando say goodbye

In the conference room, Tagore jumped up first, moved for a moment and almost stiffly said in a low voice: "Sir, I think this Fernando is still very good." An Fei, Alice and others can talk to Fernando, and Ozgucci and others can Only Tagore and Khufu could not understand its potential meaning, whether it was strategic plans or personnel arrangements.

"Tagore, why do you say he is good?" Orsi smiled.

"He's a nice person and very polite. He wasn't even angry when Alice slapped the table on him just now."

"Yes." Khufu replied in a muffled voice.

"You guys..." Orsi smiled and shook his head: "When you go to the forest to hunt for magic crystals, will you deliberately shout and tell those magic beasts that we are here to hunt them?"

"Of course not, you think I'm stupid!" Tagore shouted.

"Are you stupid or not? Everyone knows it, so I won't say anything more." Orsi smiled and said, "But let me tell you, Fernando won't do it either!"

"Orsi, what do you mean?" Tagore was really angry.

"Okay, Tagore, Orsi is not targeting you. I also have a good impression of Fernando." Ozguch continued: "But people like him, even if they want to plot against us in their hearts, they will not show it on their faces. Come on, don’t confuse him with the stupid monster. You can tell by just one look at the monster whether it is scared, wants to run away, or is fighting us desperately, but you can’t guess it even if you stare at him from morning to night. What’s going on in his mind.”

Tagore scratched his head and said nothing.

"Let's put it this way, Tagore, can you guess what An Fei and Alice are thinking now?" Orsi said.

"Then how could I guess that?"

"So, you'd better talk less and just listen to the orders of the two adults." Orsi is actually doing it for Tagore's benefit. He was already loyal to An Fei. Now Fernando leads the Shield of Light Legion to Morama Qi Zhen turned around and talked about Fernando's benefits, which would inevitably give An Fei the feeling of being a wallflower. Orsi knew that Tagore was not this kind of person. He just said what he had to say. Although his head was bigger than others, his brain was pitiful. If it was someone else who said this, Orsi would not Outstanding.

It was a pity that Tagore could not understand Orsi's intentions. Instead, he glared at Orsi and sat down heavily.

"Ozguch and Orsi are right, you must be more vigilant when dealing with people from the Light Church." An Fei said lightly: "The wolf is not scary. We know how to deal with it, and wearing sheep's clothing The wolf is terrible, it will bite your throat out when you are ignorant."

"Sir, let's put Fernando's affairs aside for now. In the near future, he has to rely on us to open up the situation, so he won't embarrass us for the time being." Alice said softly: "We have a total of six groups now. You have to take them with you." Which groups are leaving?"

"If we bring fewer people, not only will we not be able to absorb others, but we will be easily attracted by others. If we bring more people, it will be a little difficult to deal with here..." An Fei frowned, and after a long while he slowly said: "I will lead Let's go with Ozgic, Orsi and Khufu, everyone else stays here."

"You won't take Simpera with you?" Alice asked in surprise.

"No, you are a bit weak here." An Fei shook his head: "Let Ximpera be your assistant, which will help you stabilize the situation."

"What about Lord Ernest?"

"I'm not a child. I can't let Uncle Ernest run around with me all day long, right?" An Fei said with a smile: "Besides, Uncle Ernest has always been obsessed with swordsmanship and hates socializing. Today I pulled him away. It's already very reluctant to go out to greet Fernando, and I don't want to trouble him anymore." An Fei knew very well that Ernest had been taking care of him and protecting him. It was just out of the care of the elders, but he couldn't always let him go. Ernest followed him around, which first interfered with Ernest's freedom and affected Ernest's practice. Secondly, he also turned into a villain who likes to pretend to be powerful. In the long run, Ernest Ste's perception of him will change. Therefore, people should strengthen themselves and not always rely on others. Otherwise, not only will people look down on them, but it will also be very detrimental to their own growth.

"What about... Lord Entos?"

"I'll ask his opinion later."

"Sir, if this is the case, let Khufu stay, and you take Shimpera away." Alice said softly: "If there are no strong men accompanying you, our own people will be fine, but you and other mercenaries must It’s hard for them to be willing to obey you when dealing with them. As for the town of Moramachi, you don’t have to worry.”
