In the central tent of the front camp, the unicorn elders gathered together. They looked at the crystal clear crystal in the center with solemn expressions.
This crystal emits a faint white light.
The eyes of the elders who were staring closely at the crystal looked so confused and dazed.
Only Cecilia and those powerful magicians were not completely hypnotized by the power of the crystal. However, they can also successfully read the memories of Enleco reflected from the crystal. The deep trenches, the huge and solid fortress, and the detection magic that could make everything invisible all made these highly intelligent figures take a breath of air.
Through the faint shimmer of the crystal, everyone in the tent seemed to be following Enleco and witnessing the heavily guarded fortifications with their own eyes.
After a while, Enleco deeply imprinted everything he saw into everyone's minds through the crystal clear crystal.
"It seems that there are many great people in the Kingdom of Kaoqi. That fortress is definitely a great design. Not only is it easy to build, but its defensive power is probably not comparable to other fortresses." The old king sighed. He said with a breath.
"How much time and manpower does it take to build such a fortress?" Cecelia next to her asked.
Everyone turned their attention to Enleco. After all, apart from him, most people here had nothing else to offer except martial arts and magic.
This problem also made Enleco feel very embarrassed. In fact, he really hoped that the "genius mason" - God Hammer Palo could be here.
"I can only roughly estimate that two thousand people may be able to complete such a fortress in one week. However, I'm afraid this cannot include the surrounding circle of fortifications." Enlekon said nonchalantly, and he really couldn't answer with certainty.
"In other words, on the border of Montita, such fortresses may be dotted all over the place." Cecelia frowned and said: "With the strength of the Kaoqi Kingdom, it is absolutely easy to send back ten such teams."
Cecelia's words made everyone feel heavy. The elders who were still full of confidence and wanted to give the Kaoqi people a head-on blow saw the tall and thick wall and the five-meter-thick earth platform. Some confidence began to waver.
"Our strategist, it is your duty to make plans. Based on your opinion, how should we deal with the current situation." Cecelia kicked the ball to Enleco's feet again.
Enleco had already begun to pray to the evil monster holding his soul contract in his hand. What made him slightly relieved was that the evil monster did not tempt him this time.
She quietly appeared in the depths of Enleco's spirit and said slowly: "Since you have added three new soul contractors for me, I will help you this time."
"However, you have to promise one thing, that is, after your children are born, leave them to me to educate them. I will make them my most loyal followers, and I will let them preach my teachings for me. "Speaking of this, Most showed an evil smile.
These words made Enleco shudder, and he quickly defended: "I dare not disobey your wishes at all, but it may not be easy to get to you, not to mention that the devil world is really not suitable for human survival..."
Before Enleco could finish speaking, the evil monster interrupted him. Most said disapprovingly: "I didn't ask you to take those three little girls to the devil world. There is nothing interesting in that place. Things, even I rarely go back, and I live in your hometown now, I live with the guy named Victor, you should be very familiar with this place."
Most's words made Enleco shudder.
He couldn't help but think that those two evil guys with hugely problematic personalities were together, and that his children would learn under their hands.
This is so terrible that even Enleco can hardly imagine it.
But at this moment, he and Most were not allowed to bargain, so Enleco had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed to this request.
"Okay, that's the deal." Most said excitedly, and she was happy that she had added a few more interesting toys.
In fact, she has already planned to use her teachings to replace the beliefs that are popular on the earth today. She wants to completely degenerate mankind, just like she wanted to do back then.
However, there are some differences between now and then. This evil monster no longer intends to let humans fall to the side of the demons. She is now the only true god in this world.
Even if he wants to fall, he will fall to himself, not to some demon clan.
"For the sake of my future followers, I will do you this small favor."
Most said excitedly: "I have already said that if you want to deal with those Kaoqi people, your magic is the most effective."
"If you don't plan to use it, then you can only let the soldiers die. However, I must warn you that there is absolutely no strategy that is 100% sure to win."
"You should still remember that I once said that there are two ways to deal with this kind of tactic of fortifying the wall and clearing the field."
"One of them is to get around those obstacles. Fortresses and trenches don't move. As long as you get around them, they won't be able to do anything to you. But there's no point in getting around these fortifications unless you can find a valuable one. The goal."
"Just like martial arts, if you want to penetrate the opponent's defense gap, you have to take great risks, and if you want to make the risk worthwhile, you must hit the fatal parts of the opponent's body. If you don't plan to take such a If you take risks, you can only adopt a steady and steady approach like your opponents."
"For a thick and difficult to conquer fortress, it is the most appropriate choice to build another identical fortress to confront it. A long trench controlled by the opponent can only be blocked by another trench controlled by you. .”
"It is impossible for your enemy to connect their trenches with your trenches, let alone jump over your defenses and build a fortress behind you."
"In addition, this has another advantage. If you think about it carefully, why did the Kaochi people choose the spring and summer seasons, which are the most unsuitable times for attacking, to provoke a war? And why did they adopt such a step-by-step tactic with extremely slow results? And the construction So many platforms, what are they for?”
Most's words suddenly awakened Enleco, like a thread connecting a series of broken pearls.
Seeing that the soul contractor had understood, the evil monster smiled, passed through the soul channel, and returned to the distant hometown of Enleco.
She was waiting for what Enleco promised, but what surprised her was that the agent of the old rival, the God of Wisdom, was always there snickering silently.
Could this have fallen into the scheme of an old rival again? Or does the old rival already have other arrangements
Most knew nothing about it, but she no longer worried about it. Anyway, there are plenty of future toys for him, so he doesn’t have to worry about adding another guy to play with.
This evil monster has already planned to reconcile with his old rival. The war between them has long ended.
And on the Montita grassland thousands of miles away, Enleco was having a headache about the war that was about to happen in front of him.
After a while, he sighed heavily and said, "I'm very worried that the Kaochi people don't plan to attack us in the near future."
"They chose to declare war in this rainy season, but they just dug trenches on the border. If my judgment is not wrong, the Kaoqi Kingdom will probably take advantage of the rainy season to continue digging trenches, and their fortresses will be built one after another towards here. Approaching.”
"And after the rainy season has passed, and when the storms on the Montita grassland gradually become less frequent, their trenches will probably not be far away from Grant City at that time. Kaoqi's army will approach the city, and their long supply line will be secure. Under the guard."
"If you want to attack their rear, you have to go around the entire border, but no one will do that, because it will be an expedition with no return."
Having said this, Enleco looked at Cecelia, obviously trying to get her to make an idea.
The queen naturally understood Enleco's look, but she immediately kicked the ball to the elders.
"Everyone please come up with some opinions and see if there are any ways to deal with the current crisis." Cecelia said.
"Can we take advantage of the Ka'aoqi people's foothold to launch an attack first?" A middle-aged elder said slowly.
"I'm afraid it's difficult to do. It's not like you haven't seen that the fortress is heavily guarded. Even the patrolling cavalry are wearing such heavy armor."
"If we once attack, the half-built fortifications are by no means a display. It only takes a moment to pull up those suspension bridges, and by the time we dismount and pass the two trenches, Kaoqi's soldiers have already retreated into the fortress."
"Even if there are only a few thousand soldiers guarding that fortress, it is not that easy to conquer such a strong fortress in a day or two."
"But in just one day, Kaoqi's reinforcements will probably surround us." Another elder said worriedly.
"This is the most terrifying thing about clearing the wilderness. It seems extremely simple, but it is very effective. The only shortcoming is the time and money required." The old king said in a solemn tone.
"Then, let's just fight to the death with the Kaoqi people and concentrate our forces to seize the fortress." Another elder said.
"Even if we gather all the troops to quickly capture the fortress, what's the use? Although the fortress is strong, it is not comparable to the city in the clouds."
"With our military strength, how can we compete head-on with the Kaoqi army? In the past, we relied on the strong defense of the City in the Cloud to achieve the final victory."
"If we capture that fortress as you said, we will undoubtedly imprison ourselves in that small place. The Kaoqi people can slowly mobilize their army and completely surround us."
"And the final outcome is that the decisive battle comes early. We will fight to the death with our opponents who have the advantage where we lack the advantage." The elder who just refuted said again. Obviously he is a very experienced warrior.
"Can't we clear out all the fortresses one by one? Isn't it possible that no one here understands the principle of attacking first?" the elder in front continued to argue.
The elder who was good at using his brain was not shaken by this. He glared at the other party and said coldly: "Do you think those Kaoqi people will be like logs waiting for you to break them down? At most, let us capture one or two. If there is a fortress, those Kaoqi people must have surrounded us."
"If we divide our forces to attack, it is difficult to guarantee that we can break through their tight defenses. After all, we have never been good at attacking fortresses, and we even lack the weapons to attack fortresses." At this point, the elder turned his head and looked at Enlai division.
Because everyone knows very well that the role that a powerful magician can play in a battle is almost unlimited.
The most extreme characters among them are undoubtedly those forbidden magicians who can cast forbidden magic.
Obviously everyone had unanimous agreement, and everyone turned their heads to look at Enleco.
Fortunately, Cecilia came to the rescue for Enleco at this time. She said slowly: "Have we all lost our courage? Do we only know how to rely on the help of our friends? Do the people of Montita Grassland simply have no courage?" Have the backbone to use your own strength to defend the land that raised us?”
"Our dearest and most trustworthy friend has contributed all his wisdom to us. We should at least use our own strength to drive the invaders out."
Cecelia stared at Enleco and said solemnly: "Please tell me what solution is available. We still need to rely on your wisdom. At least, please don't be too stingy in this regard."
"I believe in you, my brother." Duck, the future prince of the Montita Kingdom, who was sitting at the bottom, also nodded and said, his expression full of fortitude and sincerity.
Seeing this scene, Enleco let out a long sigh, feeling that the burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier.
"I can't think of any clever solution. All I have is a very clumsy suggestion."
"Since we all agree that the fortress is an excellent design, and we also agree that fortifying the wall and clearing the field is definitely not an easy strategy to deal with, then why don't we follow the same strategy? Use our fortress to block the enemy Fortress, use our trenches to make it difficult for the enemy's trenches to advance."
"Since it is difficult for us to attack our opponents smoothly, our enemies will probably face the same problem."
"Although this will make the war protracted and time-consuming, and it will probably be like two lumps of mud stuck together tightly, but this will at least protect the prairie behind us, protect Grant, and protect the beautiful City in the Clouds."
After hearing what Enleco said, everyone frowned tightly.
No Montita wanted the war to continue in their homeland for long.
"Is there no other way? Is it just this... this time-consuming tactic?" A unicorn elder asked worriedly.
"There are not no other ways. I at least came up with one, which is to directly capture the fortress you call the Gate of Hell." Enleco said disapprovingly. He knew very well that that was almost impossible. .
Because, like the Mekarus Fortress on the western border, that fortress is the gateway to the Kaoqi Kingdom.
Although the Mercalus Fortress was destroyed by an out-of-control "doomsday catastrophe", this did not mean that the fortress was in vain and could be easily destroyed or breached.
In fact, these two fortresses, known as portals, are absolutely impregnable. Someone even once said that the only way to break them is to attack them from behind.
There are more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in any fortress, and they are all the elites of the Kaoqi army.
And around these two fortresses, a huge regiment of nearly 50,000 people was stationed. They existed there just to support these two fortresses.
However, Enleco knew very well that the real reason why the Montita people absolutely did not accept this suggestion was not this.
Although the Montitas were not cowards, they were not yet blinded by their bravery.
Because of this, Enleco said calmly: "If the 'Gate of Hell' is captured, many people in the neighboring Strayer County and several other counties and provinces will have a very good impression of the Kingdom of Montita, and, The changes that have taken place in these counties and provinces make them unwilling to see war happening around them."
"This will be extremely beneficial to us. Without the support of the locals, it will be difficult to obtain supplies. What's more, some changes may occur, making the three already unstable counties and provinces become Montita's allies. .”
"I think the commander-in-chief of Kaoqi will never take such a big risk. It is obviously inappropriate to adopt a slow advancement strategy at this time, and then attack rashly and choose to launch an attack in the rainy season..."
"I think that no matter how large and brave the Kaoqi Kingdom's expeditionary force is, it will be difficult to break through the thick walls of Grant City." Enleco said calmly.
However, just as he expected, everyone below shook their heads silently.
"I have to admit that this is indeed an excellent strategy, and I also believe that we will achieve the final victory." The old man who once served as the king, although he kept talking about victory, there was something in his expression. But full of worries.
"However, attacking and occupying the Gate of Hell is really a big gamble. Even if we can occupy this strong fortress, I'm afraid the Montita Grassland will not be at peace." Speaking of this, the old king said seriously The ground sighed.
"On the contrary, this will definitely bring great stimulation to the Kaoqi Kingdom. Kaoqi will never tolerate its own gate being controlled by others."
"For hundreds of years, the Kaoqi Kingdom has never given up on those solid fortresses, because owning these fortresses means that the Kaoqi Kingdom can occupy an absolutely proactive position in the war."
"And the loss of any fortress will undoubtedly put the entire Kaoqi into a situation of being attacked. The Kaoqi people will never tolerate such a thing.
"I'm very worried that this will cause them to use all their troops to recapture that fortress. At that time, the war between us and the Kaoqi Kingdom will probably be endless, and countless people will be sacrificed on the battlefield.
"We do not intend to engage in such a war with the Kaoqi people. We only need to repel the Kaoqi people's aggression."
Hearing the old man's words, the other elders also nodded. Only young people like Dake were somewhat disapproving.
But after all, they only account for a minority, and most of them are like Dak. Although they have strong martial arts, they obviously have no advantage in intelligence.
"It seems that everyone's opinions are tending to be consistent." Cecilia said calmly: "We don't need a war that will end only when one side falls completely. What we need is just to let the invaders leave us. land."
The elder who obviously had a good mind nodded and said: "What we need is just to cut off the opponent's outstretched arms instead of kicking the enemy in the crotch. A proper victory can bring peace, but beyond that An unexpected victory will only bring unnecessary crises."
What the elder said obviously represented the meaning of the other elders. Seeing the elders who nodded in agreement, Cecelia sat upright and said solemnly: "Then, let our warriors We will temporarily put down the machetes in our hands, and the shovels and shovels will temporarily become the sharpest weapons."
In the evening after the meeting ended, the two groups of people quietly set off into the distance. They took away the shovels and shovels. They were directed by the sharp-minded and experienced unicorn elder.
The next week passed peacefully in Montita Prairie.
In addition to the fact that the training speed has been accelerated a lot, it is not as full of tense war atmosphere as it was some time ago.
A week later, the storm arrived as expected.
The raging storm once again swept across the Montita grassland. As usual, everyone hid in the tent. In the face of this terrible natural disaster, even the power of the God of War seemed a little weak.
When the storm passed, both the Montita people and the Kaoqi people immediately resumed their busy preparations for war. They are racing against time, and of course, the competitors they are most concerned about are their respective enemies. A pair of enemies who were busy digging trenches and building fortifications, in order to seize the time, gave Montita Prairie temporary peace.
For the Montitas, they were lagging behind the enemy, and because of this, they had to step up their preparations for war.
Group after group of men and horses were deployed from the front camp to the front, and countless men, women, and children were continuously transported from Grant City to the front camp, each of them carrying shovels and shovels.
One solid fortress after another stood on the Montita grassland, and crisscrossed trenches guarded the vast grassland from Grant City to the front line.
Even the forward battalions were relocated several times to locations further away and closer to the front lines.
When everyone was busiest, unfortunately the storm came early.
This storm lasted longer than expected, perhaps because it was the last of the spring. After the storm ends, it means the arrival of the hot summer in Montita Prairie.
It has been two days since the storm, but the water on the ground has not receded.
Although Enleco has long been accustomed to the harsh climate of the grassland, he still did not expect that the days after the storm would be so difficult as summer approached.
The scorching sun baked the earth, and the accumulated water turned into diffuse moisture.
When he got up in the morning, Enleco looked at the foggy scene outside. The thick fog was mixed with a faint smell, which was the smell of rotten pasture. The storm that just passed seemed to have taken away all the wind.
Summer days without wind are even more sultry.
If he were in Sophien Kingdom, Enleco could still expect a thunderstorm, but here, everything seemed so regular.
The next storm will not come until at least half a month later, but the storm in Montita Prairie will never make Enleco look forward to it.
Enleco stood at the door of the tent and looked around.
The ice wall laid down yesterday has melted, no wonder it feels so hot in the morning.
He softly recited a mysterious mantra.
Suddenly, the thick fog was pushed away as if blown by a strong wind, and then a wall of ice rose from the ground.
The sun shines on the thick ice wall, emitting bright and bright light, but Enleco has no interest in watching these beautiful scenery.
The cold air emanating from the thick ice really made him feel much more comfortable.
At this moment, he suddenly felt very lucky. He finally discovered the real benefit of being a magician.
The mysterious power he possesses can indeed bring him great convenience.
As I heard when I was a child, as long as the magician is willing, he can make life exactly like heaven.
Enleco glanced at the camp in the distance.
This was their third migration, and the Montita people were obviously never at ease and stationed the former camp in a fixed place.
What surprised him was that the Montita people didn't seem to believe in fortresses and fortifications.
They believe even more that by wandering on the prairie, as long as they are not found by their opponents, they can protect their safety to the greatest extent.
Obviously, this is another wisdom learned from the wolves in the prairie.
Enleco became increasingly confused about how the Montita people felt about these wolves.
It has always been strange to him that on the one hand, these people of the grassland hate the wolves that bring them endless disasters and destruction, but on the other hand, they have deep feelings for them, and can even be said to worship those grassland wolves. This is really It's a very strange thing.
Looking at the endless camp in the distance, Enleco suddenly discovered that his laboratory seemed to be getting further and further away from the camp. He recalled that in his memory, every time the camp moved, it seemed that he was moving away. It is further separated from the main camp. Enleco shook his head helplessly, he knew exactly what this was for.
It seems that the violent explosions that occurred every day during that period were the culprit.
No matter how brave and tenacious the Montita people are, they will not be willing to get too close to a guy who may turn everything around him into a huge pothole at any time.
Enleco turned his head and glanced at the scattered gravel.
If you tell others that these are expensive gems, no one will believe it, but they are indeed gems, even though they look so inconspicuous.
The high pile of gems is at least two or three tons. This is still a conservative estimate. After all, Enleco has not weighed these things with a scale.
Enleco took a few steps forward. There was a huge magic circle on the ground, and a pile of gravel was in the center of the magic circle.
Although the water on the ground has not completely receded, and there is mud and grass clinging to the ground everywhere, it still cannot cover up the faint blue light.
In the center of the magic circle, there was a golden ball the size of a fist suspended. The surface of the ball is carved with exquisite patterns, but these patterns are not decoration, they give people a mysterious feeling.
Through the hollow grid, you can see a thumb-sized core crystal embedded in the center of the ball. The originally purple core crystal was now emitting bursts of blue light.
The blue light shines even more brightly through the golden shell covered with mysterious patterns.
But now, the bright blue light is unstable, like a flickering candle. It dims for a while, as if it is going to go out, and then emits a bright light, as if it is going to burn itself clean.
Enleco chanted the incantation gently, and he gathered the powerful magic power together, and the magic power was slowly transported into the sphere made of pure gold.
This was his final result after weighing the pros and cons.
Those countless explosions made him temporarily put aside his original ideas, and this golden sphere was the concrete manifestation of his concept of "jumping and touching".
Enleco knew very well that this was not perfect. If Chris saw it, he would definitely be ridiculed by her again. However, Enleco regarded this golden ball as the hand that was stuck on his wrist.
Although it was just a simple design, it allowed him, a magic apprentice who had never been able to cast magic, to take the first step towards becoming a real magician.
Enleco still clearly remembers the excitement and emotion when he was able to cast his first magic.
For him, it was an unforgettable moment.
Looking at the golden ball in front of him, Enleco was almost convinced that that thing would change everything in the world. Because it embodies his long-cherished wish to allow ordinary people to master mysterious and magical magic.
Although this is only a prototype, and it still requires the magician to input powerful magic power as the driving force for its operation, the magic energy it gathers and condenses is much more than the magic power infused into it.
This huge amount of magical energy was continuously poured into those crystals, and the mountains of gravel shone with a faint blue light.
There are two other piles of gravel in the distance, but the difference is that their shining light shows a slight reddish color.
The light emitted by those pure gold balls floating in the air was as bright red as burning flames.
Enleco didn't know whether the rubies he had prepared were enough to sustain the Unicorn Corps through the initial period.
In fact, he was not sure about this war at all, because he had no idea at all and had no idea what attack method his opponent would adopt.
He didn't even know when his opponent would launch a frontal attack.
More than a month has passed: during this period, the terrible storm came twice. What worried Enleko was that the Kaoqi people were obviously in no hurry to attack.
They dug fortifications when the storm subsided, and once the storm came, they hid in the fortress. Another thing that worries Enleco is that according to the scouts' reports, Kaoqi's fortress has spread over every inch of land within a radius of 500 kilometers on the border of the Kingdom of Fertilan, and is built almost every few dozen kilometers. A line of defense was set up, and the lines of defense were intertwined together, like the neat and dense scales of a carp.
No one knows better than the captains of the Unicorn Corps how disgusting these fish scale-like fortresses and fortifications are to them.
Although these fortifications are not connected together, it is almost impossible to pass through the gaps. It is simply risking your life.
Such an attempt would only cause the regiment that penetrated deep into the enemy group to be besieged by enemies from all directions.
As originally expected, with such a formation, we can only fight for the position inch by inch, and can only slowly advance one fortress after another. However, Enleco is very worried about whether his opponent will be hiding other killers.
Just like he was hiding behind the Montita Corps to make plans, Enleco believed that behind the scenes of the Kaoqi army, the person controlling the entire battle must be Duke Haguero, this young commander known as a genius. , Facing such an opponent, Enleco didn't even have the slightest confidence.
All he could do was to follow the opponent's arrangements and let the Unicorn Corps, which was coming and going like the wind and galloping on the battlefield, leave their beloved horses, pick up shovels and shovels, learn from their opponents, and build one solid building after another. fortress.
The only change Enleco made was that the trench was not so wide and deep, and the earthen wall next to the trench was not so thick, because compared with Kaaoch's army, the Kingdom of Montita did not have that many people, and Montita Although the soldiers are all brave and fierce, most of them obviously lack training.
In Enleco's view, even most unicorn captains are not qualified soldiers.
Compared with those Kaoqi officers, they have more courage and skillful martial arts.
But once on the battlefield, except for special characters who can cast magic, the impact of each person's ability is almost negligible.
What is more important is the judgment of the battle situation and the ability to make correct decisions in emergencies. However, these are the expertise of Kaoqi officers, and the Montita Kingdom has very little talent in this area. In Enleco's own words, the Montita Kingdom is full of unqualified commanders.
Of course, this also includes himself.
And his opponents were all experienced soldiers, which made Enleco feel extremely sad.
Thousands of miles away in Vedsk, there was also a person who was worried.
But the way he worries is completely different from Enleco.
I saw him walking around quickly like a wolf in a cage.
His heavy footsteps made the ground crackle.
"Hagero, my dear friend, can you be quieter? Maybe changing the way may be more appropriate for thinking." His Majesty the Emperor said leisurely.
In fact, the fact that he would appear here was beyond everyone's expectations.
No one knows why His Majesty the Emperor came here, and no one knows how His Majesty the Emperor's arrival will help the war on the front line.
This is a huge office. Whether it is the structure of the house or the interior layout, it completely reflects the characteristics of its owner, the young military commander of the Kaoqi Kingdom, who advocates luxury and grandeur.
Two huge crystal chandeliers hang from the high ceiling, and the walls on the east and west sides are covered with a variety of weapons, from daggers to spears.
Judging from the old-looking handles, these weapons placed here are definitely not decorations placed here.
There are huge windows on the south-facing wall. The top of the windows almost touches the roof, and the low window sill only reaches a person's knees.
People who walk into this place for the first time will definitely feel strange, why not make the windows look like the most popular floor-to-ceiling windows in the capital
But if someone walked into the office now, he would definitely not have any doubts anymore.
Because the window sill is so wide that a person can sit on it comfortably.
And now, two people were sitting leisurely on the windowsill.
If it were a palace attendant who saw this scene, he would probably be shocked immediately, because sitting on the window sill was none other than His Majesty the Emperor of Kaoqi.
However, taking another look at the layout here, everyone will immediately understand why these two noble majesties chose such an unseemly method.
Because there is only one chair in this room.
That was originally the seat of the owner of this place, Hegeero, but now the person sitting on it is the prime minister. He leisurely put his right leg on the knee of his left leg, tilted his head and looked at Haguero walking around happily, "Building a fortress on the Montita grassland was originally a tactic you came up with. You have never thought about what you would do to crack it if your opponent chooses the same method." Somyret asked.
Hagrid glared at his old friend coldly and said, "That's not what I care about." "Then what could it be?" Someret asked in confusion.
"Maybe, I can guess the answer!" Milinda said easily while sitting on the window sill.
"Our wise commander-in-chief did not expect that his opponent would find a countermeasure so quickly. Judging from this intelligence, the Montita people should have started building fortifications and fortresses more than a month ago."
"If I remember correctly, that was exactly the time when we were speculating whether the mysterious snoop who successfully escaped capture was the love rival that Hagero hated so much."
"I remember that at that time, the result of our discussion was that the possibility was over 90%. It was almost certain that this snoop was the little forbidden curse mage Sophie who was good at escaping."
"In other words, he found a way to crack it immediately without spending much time. This must be a major blow to our wise commander."
Milinda's words made Hegeiro extremely angry, but he did not want to show weakness in front of this old rival.
He tried his best to pretend to be disapproving and said calmly: "I have never underestimated my opponent. In fact, I have expected that my opponent will be able to find a countermeasure very quickly."
"What bothers me is that the information reached me so late. Obviously the quality of my scouts is far inferior to those of the Montita people."
I don’t know whether it was to further stimulate Haguero, or just to describe the facts, Milinda smiled slightly and said: "Of course, those Montita people are all natural hunters, and every one of them Everyone has a pair of extremely sharp eyes."
"I'm afraid only Gorslow and the monkey under me can compare with them. How can your scouts compare?"
"As for those magicians flying in the air, they cannot be trusted even more. This does not mean that they are unreliable, but their eyesight is obviously quite bad."
"When we were in Stryer County, the magicians found no trace of the blood fox, and wasn't it the little Forbidden Curse Mage who exposed your tricks? I think he learned something from it, and he has another Master the heart of reason.”
"Have you ever guessed that he already knows how to make the same artifact? Although the Montita Kingdom is notoriously poor, I think Cecelia will not be stingy in this regard. Thousands of emeralds are worth a For the Montita Kingdom, we should be able to get it together.”
"With these things, coupled with the invisibility magic that the guy who is good at escaping is best at, it is too easy to hide it from the eyes of those magicians."
"Their eyesight has always been poor, and they are always in a hurry to do business. It is surprising that they can find the target with just a quick glance on patrol. Now, at least you know that your opponent is prepared."
Unexpectedly, Hagrid agreed with Milinda's words.
He put his hands in his pockets and nodded slowly as he walked back and forth, slower this time.
"You can't think of any countermeasures at all!" Milinda said disapprovingly.
"Of course I have thought about it. You should know very well that there is no good countermeasure to this tactic. Apart from risking bypassing the entire defensive position, it is to go head-on and capture all those fortresses one after another."
"In fact, at that moment, I suddenly felt that this was not a bad thing. What the Montita people did, in a sense, obviously greatly shortened the time we needed."
"They have helped us build many fortresses. The only regret is that after occupying those fortresses, I am afraid we will have to dig out the defense system again. If those trenches can be arranged behind them, it will save me a lot of things. "
Hagrid shrugged his shoulders and said calmly.
However, as old friends, no one, whether it is Milinda or His Majesty the Emperor, will believe what Hegeelo said.
No one would believe that occupying those fortresses could be as easy as Haguero said.
The drills that Hegeero conducted at the time left a very deep impression on them.
The defense line guarded by only a few thousand soldiers easily blocked a regiment of 15,000 well-equipped soldiers. What's more, it was just an exercise, and the real trump card was magic. The Corps was never put to use.
No deadly weapons that could destroy everything were used.
According to their estimation, if all weapons were to exert their due power, it would be more than just defense.
Of the more than 10,000 troops who attacked, I'm afraid not many of them would survive.
But that fortress has layers of tight protection. Even if the opponent has the same weapons, the deep trenches and thick walls can weaken the terrifying power to a very small extent.
Of course, they also know very well that that level of magic defense cannot, after all, be used to withstand the powerful attack of a super magician.
Whether it is Cecilia or Enleco, any one of them can easily capture a fortress with their strength.
However, this has already been expected by many.
Hagrid was even eager for these two people to show up.
Now the opponent actually adopts the same defense strategy as himself, which means that the same problem has fallen on himself.
Those tactics used to deal with the Montita people may also fall on one's own head.
Looking at Hagrid's relaxed expression, it seemed as if he was already confident.
The Emperor turned his head and looked at his wife, hoping to get some inspiration from Milinda.
"Are you trying to be mysterious? I don't think you will underestimate your opponent's strength. Do you really plan to launch a full-scale attack? Are you really sure of occupying those fortresses?" Milinda curled her lips and said.
However, she did not dare to completely deny this. She had always regarded Hagriro as her biggest competitor.
She never dared to look down upon this guy, because she knew very well that Hagriro did have real qualities, and the prestige he had was earned by his own ability.
Perhaps he does have some solution to the current impasse.
"I must admit that I really don't have any good ideas. After all, we are engaged in an unprecedented war. All the powerful arms in the past are useless in front of the magic corps."
"The indestructible and tight array is simply a pool of flesh and blood in the face of the dense explosions. The huge shield and thick armor are no more than a piece of thin paper."
"In the face of explosive flames like raindrops, the priests who use sacred protection will probably become the first victims to die. All those exposed in the open space, whether they are heavily armored soldiers with large numbers or with outstanding skills, Even the most perfect holy knights will have little room for survival."
"Unfortunately, the Magic Empire was so completely destroyed that there was no documentation left for us descendants to learn from."
"We don't know at all how the magic corps fought back then, let alone how the other two corps relied on to remain standing in an era when magic power ruled everything."
"Although I am not a compassionate person, I will never be willing to watch my regiment die on the Montita grassland."
"Those slow-moving heavy armored regiments will not appear on the battlefield. In the sky full of explosive fireballs, they can only become the enemy's best targets."
"For the same reason, the heavily armored knights may have to leave the battlefield. The thick armor they wear will not increase their chances of survival."
"On the contrary, after taking off the armor, the speed of the war horse can be increased a lot. Those knights will probably benefit from this. In this war, the magician will probably decide who will win the final victory!"
Speaking of this, Hagrid looked a little lonely. He slowly said in an unusually low voice: "I had this hunch at the beginning. When the number of magicians reaches a certain level, when ordinary people can be After easily training to become a magician - the war will be led by magicians, and warriors will become embellishments on the battlefield. The martial arts inherited by the ancient heroes who once destroyed the magic empire will also rise again with the rise of magic. Forgotten.”
The prime minister was completely indifferent to Hegeero's emotion. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders with gloating, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.
And His Majesty the Emperor also didn't have much emotion.
Although he had spent countless efforts practicing martial arts, his skills had always remained at the third-rate level. Therefore, as an unqualified martial artist, he did not feel sorry for the decline of martial arts at all.
The only one who had the same feelings as Hagrid was probably Milinda, but Milinda felt much less disappointed than Hagrid. After all, she had already peeked into the threshold of magic and had even surpassed most. The realm of the magician.
In her opinion, the decline of martial arts does not mean the complete demise of martial arts. From a certain perspective, it is just a new opportunity.
The decline of martial arts will inevitably lead to change, and change will inevitably come from the gradual rise of magic. What's more, Milinda has never forgotten the legendary figure who impressed her most in the era of the Magic Empire.
And that unruly and evil Emperor Hades was an extremely talented warrior.
In Milinda's view, this infamous Emperor of Hades is definitely the most qualified to be called a strong man.
Because what makes him extremely powerful is not only his strength, but also his will, which is also so powerful that it makes people tremble. "Martial skills may not necessarily decline. Those second-rate characters will naturally become depressed, but the real masters are calm." Milinda mocked, with a proud smile on her lips.
"Dear wife, there is no need for you to provoke Hagrid. Even if you have defeated Hagrid, there is no need to reduce him to a second-rate role. In my opinion, Hagrid can still be regarded as a master. It's just a little bit worse than my wife." His Majesty the Emperor next to him also joked.
However, to his expectation, Hegeero did not fly into a rage. On the contrary, he actually showed a worried look.
At this time, not only Horkels III was puzzled, but even Milinda was surprised.
In their impression, Hegeero has always been a dictatorial figure, even the accounts of His Majesty the Emperor and his ally Somyret have always been bought.
This kind of worry about gain and loss is really rare to see. In his memory, he only showed such an expression when facing Miss Fenasia.
What surprised them both even more was that Hagero was walking slowly towards here.
Looking at his expression, it seemed that he had made up his mind, and what he was about to do was difficult to accept.
"Milinda, we have been fighting for so many years. I must admit that I did lose to you. Not only are you better than me in seducing women, but you also have the ability to cast magic. You are also very good at practicing martial arts. On a new path."
"But I am still groping in the darkness, looking for the direction of breakthrough. Here, I solemnly admit defeat to you. Can you tell me the secret to breaking through the limit?"
Hagrid's surrender was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was indeed reasonable.
But it was absolutely unimaginable for Milinda that this guy Hagrid would actually admit defeat in front of so many people.
Originally, Milinda had guessed that Hagriro would say these words to her in private.
Because of this, Milinda stood there blankly for a moment.
After a while, the joy of victory and pride replaced the extreme shock.
For a moment, Milinda felt extremely happy. She had always hoped to be recognized by others, and even for this reason, she did not hesitate to challenge everyone who was recognized as a strong person by others.
And Hagrid is undoubtedly the lucky one she considers.
His appearance, his style, and his martial arts skills made this guy the talk of everyone, and he became a star respected by everyone in Vedsk.
She felt deeply jealous of this naturally lucky man. This star that was highly praised by everyone has since become her rival.
Milinda can no longer remember how much she paid for this.
She no longer even wanted to calculate whether it was worth it just to gain recognition.
She just wants to hear others tell her that she has achievements that others cannot match. She just wants to hear the strong admit that she has stronger power than the other person. Now, she already has everything.
Milinda's mood suddenly became extremely relaxed, but at the same time, a feeling of powerlessness came over her.
She got the recognition she had been striving for, but looking back, she had paid a lot for this recognition, but was it really worth it
Suddenly, Milinda felt she had never been so at peace.
She let out a long sigh and said: "I don't have any tips, just some small suggestions and a few interesting accessories. I can lend you those things. With Trode's strength, he should be able to copy them for you." Produce identical items.”
If Hegeero's surrender surprised His Majesty the Emperor, then when he heard such tolerant words coming out of his wife's mouth, he was even more stunned. It seemed to him that the world was turned upside down.
The arrogant Hagero was actually willing to bow his head to Milinda and admit defeat, but Milinda actually did not use her usual cold and biting taunts to deal with her long-standing rival.
Although His Majesty the Emperor believes that he is far more intelligent than ordinary people, he definitely does not think so at this moment and that he will be able to understand this matter one day.
This is really incredible, almost unbelievable to the extreme.
Horkels III even wondered whether the end of the world was coming? Because according to legend, before the end of the world comes, no matter how persistent or evil the guy is, he will repent.
Suddenly, a dull sound came from a distance.
Although the sound was not very loud, it made the window glass rattle.
Even my eardrums felt a strong sense of pressure.
"What happened?" Somyret asked. It was obvious that he was asking about His Majesty the Emperor.
Others also looked at Horkels III, a tacit understanding developed over the years.
"I'm not sure, it seems like there was an explosion somewhere." Horkels III stared blankly at the place where the sound came from in the distance.
"Explosion? That direction is not where the Magic Association is." Milinda said lightly.
Suddenly, Hegeiro seemed to have been burned by a red-hot iron. He jumped up all of a sudden, his face became extremely ugly, he turned around suddenly and ran out of the office in a hurry.
When the door slammed shut, the people who stayed in the office heard Hegeello's angry roar.
"Bring me the horses. The first, second, and fourth teams immediately rush to the Bonn warehouse and block all the intersections leading there. Without my order, no one can do whatever they want in that neighborhood. Move around…”
Hearing that series of orders, Horkels III suddenly had a very bad premonition. He glanced at Somilet and asked softly: "Have you heard of the Bonn Warehouse? Haguero used that place for do what?"
Someret shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "That guy has never mentioned this matter to me."
"You can't know everything." Milinda said in her usual sarcastic tone. She didn't care who she was talking about. Even her brother could be the target of cynicism.
What's more, Milinda will never believe that Somyret knows nothing about this matter. He has spies all over Vedsk. "I really don't know. Your husband has no fewer spies than me." , isn’t he equally ignorant? Hagrid seems to take this matter very seriously, and he has never revealed any information to me. However, you and I should both be able to guess what happened that caused this Guys are so nervous.”
"After all, there are not many people in this world who want to make Hegeiro so angry." Somilet said easily, but his expression did not look relaxed.
Horkels III also frowned, and behind him, Milinda, who was sitting cross-legged on the window sill, also showed a rare solemn expression.
"Since this guy kept this matter so secret, how could the current accident happen?" Milinda asked softly.
"Those spies from the Leiding Kingdom are pervasive. What's more, what they are best at is spying on other people's thoughts."
"Hagero is certainly tight-lipped, and his cronies may be equally dedicated to their duties, but if someone can directly pry into their thoughts, no matter how strict the confidentiality measures are, it will have no effect."
"The Lading people have turned this dark game into an elegant art several centuries ago. The talented playboy has already established a complete set of effective systems."
"Isn't it because of this that the northern philistine country has been able to enjoy peace for so many years?"
Horkels III smiled and said, but his smile was obviously a little stiff. After all, at this moment, even a detached person like him felt that the situation was serious.
"Should we also go to that warehouse and have a look?" Somyret slowly stood up from the chair. Although he seemed to be asking His Majesty the Emperor for his opinion, it was obvious from his look that he did not think He was the best. Coles III will give the absolute opinion.
The dull explosion just now had already spread to every corner of Vedsk.
Everyone in the capital is guessing that something major will happen today. Because of this, most people are cautiously staying at home.
The streets were empty, and it was difficult to see any trace of pedestrians. Only the soldiers in shining armor stood on the streets of Vedsk.
They scanned warily for any pedestrian who seemed suspicious to them.
Haguero's order was only to cordon off a few blocks near the warehouse, but the people below did it even more thoroughly. At this time, in Vedsk, except for the streets where nobles lived, other places had already been tightly sealed. Sitting in the royal carriage, Milinda was still sitting by the window as usual.
She looked outside through the window.
The streets were deserted, and even the shops that were usually bustling and bustling were now empty.
Most shops have even closed their doors, and people peeking out from both sides of the street have frightened eyes flashing.
Vedsk, a once noisy and bustling city, suddenly became silent.
Apart from the crisp and noisy sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the bluestone, there was only the sound of the carriage's wheels rolling across the ground.
The surroundings seemed so quiet that Milinda even doubted whether this was the Vedsk she was familiar with. In her impression, Vedsk had never felt as dead as it did today.
The royal carriage moved slowly, and the holy knights who served as royal guards were attentive.
They are always alert to the movements around them. Even if it is just a child looking out of the window, or even if it is just a kitten gently licking its paws in the corner, they cannot escape their attention.
At this moment, everyone's nerves were tense like a stretched bowstring, because they all knew that Vedsk's peaceful years were gone forever.
