The little princess Hera, who didn't know she had been "chosen", was walking in the mountains of Achenkirch with Medea and Ask.
The entire territory of the Duchy of Bavaria is divided by the Alps in the east and west. The north is the traditional Weisbach territory, while the south is divided among many local nobles.
Now that the Wolf family has attacked, basically anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before the indefensible south is devoured. The key lies in whether the Weisbach family can successfully defend the northern territory by relying on the Jachenau Mountains and the Achenkirch Mountains and hold out until the arrival of the emperor's coalition forces.
"Being able to defend Innsbruck until Christmas is probably far beyond the Weisbach family's expectations." Medea analyzed, "Let's go back and collect our rewards first, complete the next round of promotions, and then decide how to take on subsequent missions based on the movements of the Emperor's coalition forces in Franconia."
"That's right." Sheila also said, "If the Northern Emperor's coalition forces progress smoothly, then Weisbach's pressure will be much less, and we will probably receive some easier and safer tasks."
"But if the emperor gets stuck in Franconia, then we will most likely be sent to the mountains to conduct a delaying operation to prevent Wolf's army from continuing to move north."
"Of course, more dangerous missions also mean higher rewards. Most of the bloodlines you choose now only have level III and IV potions left. You can try to make corresponding requests to the Weisbach family."
"It's not realistic to ask for finished potions above level III." Medea said, "We can ask for the formula and have them prepare the auxiliary materials while we look for the main ingredients ourselves."
The two military advisors discussed the general plan of the follow-up team. Ask listened silently, without interrupting, and only occasionally added a few words.
"Oh, right." Sheila suddenly remembered something and asked, "Last time you said we were being monitored by the Vatican? What did you mean exactly?"
"Don't you know?" Ask was a little surprised. "Didn't you used to be the empress of the empire?"
Sheila showed a somewhat annoyed look, but she barely managed to hold it back, and just said angrily:
"I've only been here for a few months. Do you think the Orthodox Church has told me everything? It's their style to keep things secret and reveal a little from time to time."
"Okay, Sheila, you know I mean no harm." Ask said frankly, which made Sheila's expression ease a little. "Super artificial intelligence Raphael is one of the legacies left by the ancient Solomon Empire."
"It was originally just a simulation supercomputer used to predict the situation around the empire. It once successfully predicted the economic crisis and barbarian invasion at the end of the Third Age. In addition to predictions, it can also propose corresponding countermeasures. However, the ancient Solomon people at that time thought it was ridiculous to leave the fate of the empire to a computer, so they were cautious about whether to implement its countermeasures."
"I understand." Medea smiled and said, "For a guy like artificial intelligence that can't read minds, each of its plans is based on a cycle of ten or a hundred years. Who knows whether its actions will ultimately save humanity or destroy it?"
