Charlotte and Count Gaston sat back down at the negotiating table in the tavern.
However, the extraordinary people who were ambushing on the side of Earl Tulip were completely wiped out, and Gaston and his son were tied up tightly with magic chains.
Charlotte sat on a log chair with her legs crossed, her back to the big hole that was created on the wall of the tavern when Sebastian's element exploded. In her hand was a parchment scroll that contained the records of the interrogation of Count Gaston.
As for Gaston and his son... in addition to being restrained all over their bodies, Sebastian had two pairs of white gloves stuffed into their mouths. They were staring at her with wide eyes in horror.
With the blessing of the power of blood, the interrogation of Gaston and his son was not difficult. It could even be said to be quite simple. A little mental shock made them tell everything.
Just as Charlotte guessed, Count Gaston's behavior was indeed spontaneous. In order to ensure that everything went well, he even mobilized the army to ambush outside the town. His purpose was to control her to win credit for the Third Prince. The Third Prince... had already prepared an offensive plan of "attacking from the north and south and blossoming in the middle".
It’s a pity that Count Gaston bumped into the gun hole and was captured by Charlotte.
After a while, Sebastian reappeared beside Charlotte. He bowed and said respectfully:
"Master, I checked. They are here with the garrison of the Earldom of Tulip. Judging from the flags, they seem to be the main force of the Earldom of Tulip. They are all stationed in the woods about five kilometers north of the town. They have not noticed the situation in the town yet."
After hearing what Sebastian said, Charlotte paused for a moment:
"Main force?"
Sebastian glanced at the bound Gaston and his son and nodded:
"Yes, the main force of Tulip's garrison. I roughly estimated that there should be at least 1,500 well-equipped soldiers, all wearing enchanted armor, and they can already form the most basic magic array."
Magic energy array
After traveling for so long, Charlotte heard a new word.
Sebastian noticed the subtle change in her expression and explained respectfully:
"Master, the magic array is the most powerful extraordinary military array known in the war. Some sophisticated arrays can even make Chiyang unable to start, and even legends are troubled by it."
"Ever since supernatural powers became popular in civilization, supernatural military formations have become the key force to dominate wars, and the standing troops of various countries are all capable of forming supernatural military formations."
"The basis of the extraordinary army formation is the magic power or source power of the extraordinary soldiers, and the core is the enchanted armor. Soldiers using enchanted equipment form an army of 500 people to form a forbidden magic formation. It can suppress the power of the enemy's extraordinary people to the greatest extent. It is the nightmare of low- and middle-level extraordinary people..."
"And when the number of military formations reaches three, a qualitative change will occur."
"After the qualitative change, it will become a magic energy array!"
"The magic array is composed of three or more forbidden magic arrays. It uses the individual soldiers to form an activated inscription array. While banning magic, it further integrates the power of the extraordinary army..."
"After integration, the magic army formation can turn ordinary secular armies into meaningless numbers in front of it!"
Sebastian was very positive about the opportunity to show himself in front of Charlotte. In his opinion, it was an honor to be able to popularize science for a resurrected god.
That is why his explanation was so detailed.
If it weren't for the fact that he probably didn't know exactly how the magic array should be constructed, Charlotte would have suspected that he would have started to explain the principles of the military array.
In fact, although he did not explain the principle, Sebastian did explain the origin of the magic array:
"This method of using soldiers as individuals instead of inscriptions to form a magic circle originated from the elves and was popular in the Bloodline Age. It was further improved after the Holy Age."
"When the magic array is activated, almost every extraordinary soldier in the array can fight ten enemies at once. When they form a military formation, they can be invincible in conventional wars... The most famous of these is the Nicholas Magic Array improved by the legendary wizard Nicholas in the human world."
"The reason why Louis V was able to defeat the enemy with a small force in the key battle of the Star-Moon War was that he armed a standing formation with the elven armor provided by Luna Island, and formed the Nicholas Magic Energy Array with the help of the 'Nicholas Legacy' he found."
Charlotte: …
At a certain moment, Charlotte seemed to have a picture in her mind of a fat black cat lying lazily, picking its feet, sucking on dried fish, and proudly saying "Yes, that's me!"
She sighed, not knowing how many things the black cat had hidden from her or how many abilities it had. She thought that maybe next time she summoned the cat, she could try to see if she could squeeze something out of it.
Of course, this is all for the future, now...
To be honest, we need to solve the current problem first.
Thinking of this, Charlotte looked up and down at Count Gaston and said with interest:
"I heard that the former Duke of Bolde, who was the military commander of the Crescent Kingdom, had introduced the extraordinary equipment of the Crescent Guards into his own regular army in his early years. The quality of the army is comparable to that of the kingdom's regular army. The garrison of the Earldom of Tulip is the elite of the Principality of Bolde."
"Mr. Gaston, you mobilized all the troops of the earldom at once this time. Are you planning to target Sebastian specifically?"
After hearing what Charlotte said, Sebastian was stunned.
But he soon reacted and his expression looked a little unhappy.
As a senior Silver Moon, he did not take the extraordinary people ambushed by Count Gaston seriously at all. Even if they were teleported away, with Silver Moon's speed, it was only a matter of time for him to rush back.
But if they run into an extraordinary army forming a magical array after rushing back, it would be a different story.
Gaston has captured Charlotte, and as the most powerful follower he will definitely chase her.
Running at full speed to cover hundreds of kilometers is already very exhausting, and if you face the magic army formation, you might even be left behind if you are not careful...
As long as Count Gaston operates properly, it will be possible to keep both Charlotte and Sebastian.
Of course, the idea was good, but Count Gaston underestimated Charlotte's power.
"Master, I just found a lot of disguises in the camp. They seem to want to disguise the attack on you as the work of the Blood Demon Cult. Do you think we can take advantage of their strategy and launch a sneak attack before their army forms an array, and disguise it as the work of the Blood Demon Cult?"
Sebastian suggested.
However, Charlotte looked at the two nobles of the duchy under her control and smiled slightly:
"A sneak attack? No, it's not that troublesome."
