Under the moonlight, the room where Santa Cruz was located became quiet again.
The body of the Charmed Heart Demon pretending to be Crodo has disappeared, and even the bloodstains were cleaned up by the two of them.
He couldn't even believe that he could get a strange power.
When the man said the 'lesser knight's contract', he thought it would be a slave contract from the devil, as long as he signed his name, he would be the slave of the other party for the rest of his life.
But to his surprise, the person who contracted him was actually that rare paladin girl, Tina. What's more, I also got a physique with comprehensive inner strength, and even got a strange power called task system.
The other party even taught himself how to use this power.
He doesn't know what a 'task system' is. This word is very profound to him, but he understands that as long as he completes it according to the above content, he can grow rapidly without boundaries.
A place for a lesser knight, a future lord.
This kind of investment is rare, but since Beta has hit it, of course it cannot be let go.
The next day, the lord discovered that his 'second son' had disappeared. He sent people to look for it everywhere.
Santa Cruz is naturally also the object of suspicion, but the suspicion is not great. After all, he has no strength and is still under house arrest.
In addition, what also made the lord feel terrified was that the army he sent out last night has not returned yet.
The reason why he held a banquet last night was because he thought he could secretly kill or bring back that paladin woman.
Just when he was restless, the scouts sent out came back to report that at the designated place, they found a large number of corpses, all of them soldiers.
Hearing this, the lord sat down on the chair.
After a while, he said bitterly: "Be prepared for war, buy a lot of food, weapons, and armor."
At this time, Beta and Tina had already left at night, and brought the seriously injured of the Holy Guard to the trusted lord's territory.
After resting for a day and using magic to heal most of the wounded, they continued on the road, and it took another two days to reach the front line.
Because it was the Seven-Party Allied Forces, even though they reached the front line, they were still interrogated several times before they entered the camp of the Guangming Temple Army.
The commander in chief was Longyas, a cardinal archbishop.
When he saw Tina and Beta, he smiled at Tina to show his friendliness.
But when facing Beta, his expression was quite cold.
"I heard that you know swordsmanship and will?"
Beta nodded: "Indeed."
"Teach our soldiers." Longyas said in a commanding tone.
Beta shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to teach, but that most people can't learn it."
"What a joke!" Longyas snorted. "A magician can learn it. There's no reason a real warrior can't learn it. If they can't learn it, then they are too stupid."
Beta smiled: "Could it be that I'm too smart?"
Hearing such boastful words, Long Yasi was stunned for a moment, and then his face finally improved: "It's okay, I'm a little confident. I heard that you have something to do with Tina. I was not very happy at first, after all, Tina is also The talents we focus on cultivating in our sanctuary, even if they want to marry, they still need family members from us, so how can we make it easier for outsiders."
"However, you also have a bit of aura and ability, and it's not too bad to match our Tina." He nodded: "Well, you have passed the test."
Tina stood aside, blushing a little.
Beta looked helpless. But I don't want to refute, since I want to use Tina's reputation in the sanctuary to make things happen for me, then of course I can bear this kind of gossip.
In the tent, apart from the three of them, there are other generals, most of whom are from the Holy Guard.
After all, the priests of Guangming have been practicing all the time, and their hearts are attached to the goddess of light. Of course, they don't know much about fighting.
Most of these holy guards came from the sanctuary, and of course they also knew Tina. Seeing the latter's blushing and delicate expression, they were extremely upset.
After coming out of the camp, Beta received several challenges from the Holy Guard. Then Beta agreed to come down.
He doesn't like things like jealousy. But in the military camp, the prestige that a formal duel can bring is not small. He couldn't ask for more.
These people also know that they can't beat Beta, but the opponent is a man who can beat a paladin, so they are definitely not opponents. But no matter how you say it, many times, when I get angry, I don't care so much.
In one day, he fought six duels, and after defeating six generals of the Holy Guard, Beta gained a lot of prestige.
The most important thing is that Beta didn't use magic at all. He was just a wooden sword. After being fought by wheels, he still overthrew six powerful generals.
Tina watched from the side excitedly. Any woman likes to see the person she likes and be 'jealous' for herself. They feel that this is a man who cares about himself.
As for Beta, it was purely for gaining prestige.
Now in the army of the Temple of Light, almost everyone knows that there is a magician beside Sanyu Tina, who is ridiculously strong in melee combat.
So now Beta wanders around in the camp occasionally, and many soldiers will show admiration when they see him.
During this day, Tina and Beta learned about the situation between the two sides from Long Yas.
The seven-party coalition fought against the ten lords of the enemy.
On our side, among all the forces, the Temple of Light dispatched the most troops, nearly 200,000 troops, and a logistics supply line of about 100,000 people.
Between 50,000 and 70,000 people each joined the battle for the other six lords.
On the enemy side, the exact number is unknown, but it is estimated that there should be about one million people.
In other words, adding up the two sides, nearly two million people are facing each other.
Two million people, around the boundary line of the four territories, the battle line stretches for nearly 100 kilometers.
The Temple of Light is in charge of a nearly 20-kilometer-long front, and on the opposite side is the enemy of the Gruul Territory.
"From the point of view of intelligence, the opponent is very good at cooperating with infantry and cavalry." Longyas was showing his subordinates the nearby terrain on the sand table, and explaining the collected information: "At the same time, they also have many magic apprentices. And magic elites. It is very difficult for us to tear apart the other party with divine arts alone, but the enemy will have a strong long-range attack ability. This must be paid attention to."
"The enemy's deployment of troops is still not completed, and so are we." Longyas continued: "From the information we have collected before, we have an advantage in strength, but we lack reconnaissance means."
"Taking advantage of the number of people, we are going to press forward." A general of the Holy Guard shouted: "We don't need intelligence, the enemy will definitely be defeated under our offensive."
Longyas and Beta both frowned.
These Holy Guard generals have never fought a real big battle, so they thought it was a small fight between hundreds or thousands of people
There is no intelligence support for a war of hundreds of thousands of people, and the enemy does not understand how to fight and how to suppress it.
But what was surprising was that more than half of the people in the tent thought that what this man said made sense.
"Does anyone else have a different opinion?" Longyas asked.
No one answered, and Long Yas looked a little disappointed.
He discovered a big problem... The generals of the Holy Guard seem to have no education in orthodox war command.
"Send ten archers and ten thieves to me in the Alien Hall." Beta had to stand up, and he said, "I'll take them to collect information."
"Plus you are only twenty-one people, what role can you play." Some generals were a little upset when they saw Beta.
"It can clearly investigate how many nightingales you have had (female ticket) since you were young."
Beta said a little arrogantly. It's not that he wants to be like this, but he knows very well that in the army, no one thinks highly of gentlemen.
As a general, if you have conflicts with other generals, you must be full of momentum and ruffian, otherwise you will not be able to restrain them at all.
"You..." The general's face was extremely bad, and he was about to speak, but thinking that he was still being rubbed on the ground by Beta yesterday, he gave up his plan to continue to speak rudely.
Longyas looked at Beta: "Are you sure you know how to sneak in to collect information?"
"I'm a magician, and I've done a lot of similar things." Beta replied with a smile.
"But in two days, we may be about to launch our first probing attack."
"Two days? Enough."
Looking at the confident Beta, Longyas said, "I'll send out the manpower you need in a while, don't let me down."
Beta smiled, neither did he issue a military order, nor did he appear to lack confidence.
When he first arrived at the barracks, it was impossible for him to lead an army directly. After all, he was an outsider, and others were worried.
But if he achieved a certain degree of military exploits, then even Long Yas would have to assign some soldiers to him to command.
Beta felt that, with the war commanding ability he had developed in the game, as long as there were one or two thousand soldiers, especially the cavalry, he would definitely be able to achieve a very wonderful local victory.
After leaving the camp, Tina followed him and stood by his side: "Be careful yourself."
Although she is also very confident in Beta's strength, but in any case, Beta is going to spy on the enemy's intelligence, which is a very dangerous thing in itself, and it is impossible for her not to worry at all.
"It's okay, if something goes wrong, I will hide in the space of the mansion by myself."
"Well, that's the best way."
The two stood and chatted for a while, and not long after, ten archers and ten professionals came to Beta.
Then they immediately came out of the camp, and moved towards the enemy from the side of the front line.
Although it was daytime, it was difficult for the enemy to find them from such a distance.
Besides, there is Joan of Arc in the air, and Beta can completely see the movement of nearby enemies. He knew very well whether he could move forward on his side.
Using trees and grass, they managed to reach a distance of about one kilometer from the front line of the enemy army.
Hiding in a grove, they quietly waited for the night to chat.
Now that they are very close to the enemy, if they act again, they will be easily spotted, and they can only wait until night.
