Three days later, the letter was tossed many times, and finally arrived at the Cage Mountain Command Headquarters. After being unpacked and inspected by Hill Fox, it was classified as "most important information" and handed over to Edith immediately.
After reading the information, Beidi Pearl's brows furrowed.
"How many people are on Grand Duke Island now?" she asked aloud.
The staff members looked at each other in dismay, and the first person to answer her was Dawn Chenguang, "Sir, there are currently more than 300 people in the First Army stationed on the island, about 2,500 in the engineering team, and about the same number of islanders. If If you want to know more specific personnel composition, I will go to adjust the information-"
"No need," Edith interrupted. "Go and bring Iron Axe and the other officers over. Our plans must be adjusted immediately! Quick!"
"Adjustment means..."
"Whether it's a soldier or an engineering team, whether it's Graycastle, Dawn, or a wolf-hearted man, they must evacuate the Grand Duke Island as soon as possible!" She said solemnly, "It's already a desperate island there."
Everyone was in an uproar, but they were surprised, and the professionalism they had trained for a long time still allowed them to execute the order immediately.
Just as chickens were flying around in the office, Edith set her eyes on a note in her palm.
It was sent with the letter.
After counting her breaths, she clenched her fists and sighed lightly.
The high-ranking officers of the First Army quickly gathered together and took turns to read the information sent from Yongdong Xueying Fort.
"Hykezord, Lord of the Vault of Heaven..." Brian's expression was also not much better. "If the content of the letter is correct, this damn ability is too amazing. It is several kilometers long and can be used many times. I said that in just a few days, the entire Eternal Winter will be completely disintegrated, and there is not even a single city that can resist to the end."
Lightning and Maisie once encountered a high-level devil in the Great Rift Valley, and its ability to come and go without a trace has been regarded as a target that needs to be marked, and now I know that the other party is probably Oslu The Lord of the Vault of Heaven mentioned by Ke, and this is far from the limit of its power - not only itself, but even troops can be transferred in a large range through the door, such a powerful ability can be called a strategic level.
The participants couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the word Devil Maharaja.
Withdrawing from Dagong Island has become a matter of no doubt.
After all, it is easy to go to the island and it is difficult to leave the island. If the natural danger of the strait cannot stop the enemy's actions, it will become a cage to imprison oneself.
Not only that, they must race against time!
Judging from the conscripts' movements and the clues summarized by the staff in the letter, the devil may have gathered a considerable number of troops on the front line, and this mighty offensive may start at any time.
Iron Axe decisively issued an order, "Stop all the fortifications on Dagong Island, and immediately transfer the people on the island! Not only the rented ships, I want to see everything that can float at sea participate in this evacuation. !"
"As ordered," the subordinates said in unison.
After everyone led the way, Agatha said with a worried expression, "Why has such a powerful devil never appeared in the second battle of divine will?"
"I think there are no more than three reasons," Edith's voice was still calm, "One is that Hykezord had not been promoted to Maharaja at that time, nor did he have the ability now; the other is that they think that humans are not worth mentioning. , the sky and sea world is the top priority; as for the three..." She deliberately paused, "Perhaps the top devil thinks it is not suitable for fighting humans."
Iron Axe seemed to see her thoughts, "Do you think it's the third type?"
Pearl of the North shrugged, "The first answer is to avoid the problem even though the theory exists. The second answer is difficult to stand up - although the devil has been fighting against the sky and sea, but with their attitude towards the relics of the gods, if they really can If the Federation is easily defeated, they will not let go of this relic. In the war that decides the fate of the ethnic group, underestimating the enemy is absolutely the stupidest way. In other words, I guess they should have done their best."
The Ice Witch's slightly dark eyes finally recovered, "But... At that time, the Federation did not know how to make firearms. If even the city walls were useless, the Federation would collapse even faster, and it would not even be too late to transfer the relics of the gods. It's not impossible."
"So this point is worth thinking about." Edith tapped the table lightly, and did not directly answer the other party's doubts, "I have always paid attention to several descriptions in this intelligence-according to the author and the Lord of the Vault of Heaven. It can be seen from several contacts that Hykezord not only never uses his ability to directly enter the lord's castle, but also rarely meets multiple nobles at the same time, and orders are often conveyed through talismans, as if to beware of them. This approach is obviously not It will help it win people's hearts, and one or two things can be seen from the content of the letter. The question is, what threat can those nobles pose to it?"
The Ice Witch was stunned, "Do you mean... the Stone of God's Punishment?"
"After much deliberation, this is possible." Beidi Pearl nodded and said, "Since the transcendent can be either ashes or scrolls, then the Maharaja must be a demon slayer?"
"This..." Agatha also responded. Looking at the biggest difference between high-level demons and mad demons is the amount of ability, there is really no evidence to show that the ascendant will definitely have the power to kill demons. And this can also answer all the previous questions - the reason why the Lord of the Vault of Heaven did not appear on the front line of the Fertile Plain is because it is not good at frontal battlefields!
Whether it is breaking into the holy city built on the divine stone lode, confronting the extraordinary who wears the stone of punishment, or facing the divine will above the extraordinary, it is a great threat to non-slayers. The ability of the Lord is extremely important, so he never showed up in front of the two armies!
"But it went into battle in person this time..." Iron Axe pondered.
"Maybe because of some changes, it has no choice." Edith walked to the window and looked at the northern continent, "For example, the original main attacker may have been Ersiluk or other monarchs, but the situation Under the pressure, Hykezord can only go from behind the scenes to the front. If this is the case, it is definitely a lucky thing for us - in any case, it is better to face a devil maharaja than several maharajas. easy."
"Have you figured out how to deal with Hykezord?"
"Its ability is almost irreplaceable for strategic deployment, but it is not a good choice for attacking." She said slowly, "As long as we don't lose too much on the Grand Duke Island, the outcome is still unknown, so The immediate priority is to withdraw as many people and weapons as possible from the island, especially artillery."
Iron Axe let out a sigh of relief, "So, this piece of information is really worth a thousand dollars. I don't know who wrote it and sent it? If the information is correct, they can be considered a great contributor."
Edith was silent for a long time before handing the crumpled note to Iron Axe.
There are only a few simple sentences above.
Written by Hill's staff before the letter was forwarded.
"I don't know his name."
"When he was found, he was as cold as ice."
"On his chest, I found this letter."
"Only this thing still has a trace of warmth."
