"The snow is getting heavier and heavier. It seems that the supply team will be delayed again."
Eliza looked at the goose feather snow outside the window, but she could only shake her head helplessly.
This is not the first time that I have been mistaken by the weather. From the very beginning, I was very anxious, but I was still helpless after contacting everywhere. The current helplessness and expected numbness can be regarded as a helpless habit.
After all, it's not just any party who is facing this bad weather. Since both parties have stopped, there is nothing to be nervous about.
I have to say that the orcs' advance attack had chosen a very delicate time, and the heavy snow that stopped now and then made this war quite embarrassing.
Showdown? How to fight while skating and shivering from the cold? Now preparing and distributing winter supplies is a major task, and no matter how powerful the legion is, it must learn to fear before the divine power of nature.
"Damn it, maybe half a month in the morning, maybe just wait until next spring."
I am afraid that every orc will think so when they are cold and shrinking. At this time in previous years, they would have been sleeping in the place where they spent the winter, around the bonfire.
This is similar to procrastination. Everything that was originally planned was normal, but I was prepared and prepared. Due to the influence of various factors, it was delayed to the most inopportune time.
"What? Traffic jam? It's okay, there are still two hours. Huh? Wrong way? It's okay, there is still an hour! Airport highway repair? Hehe, it's finally here, I'll just say it's alright. What! There is still an airport inspection? At least half an hour? Hey, don't be kidding! Don't leave the plane!"
Well, it's almost the same feeling as above, it's just an analogy, it's definitely not someone's personal experience...
Ahem, let’s get down to business, to be honest, this is undoubtedly a conspiracy between someone and a certain demon lord. According to the expected strategy of the orcs, how can we not encounter this trouble.
But at this time, Eliza was not happy that the trick was successful. After all, as time went on, the war was still getting tighter and tighter, and the burden on her was too heavy.
Yes, she lied. During the war, it is possible that everything will be fine, and the orcs and elves are not easy to deal with. Although the situation is roughly as she said, the real pressure is much greater. The daily casualty data of the coalition forces are not few, but Only by saying this can it be possible for Roland to do his own thing at ease.
"With me looking after the house, it's alright. Didn't Roland teach me everything? At least, even that silly girl Annie can be the underground overlord. How could I still not be able to be on my own?"
In a sense, Eliza has always had an inexplicable sense of competition towards Annie. Even though her absolute strength is far beyond that of Annie now, she still expects to prove to that person that she is the best leader.
But obviously, there are some things that cannot be taught. The chaotic battlefield situation in front of us is much more difficult to deal with than the underground where most of the hostile forces have been cleaned up.
"The Orc's Aerial Knight is here to challenge again, this time it's the two Thunder Eagles, and the Dragon Knight. San Antonio wants Lord Dimir to play, but Lord Dimir obviously hasn't changed since the last time. recovering from injury."
"San Antonio's own Aerial Knight? Don't they have the Griffin Knights? There is also a legendary Griffin Knight in the lineup, why don't you go up yourself."
"... They said that Elson was sick, and they said it very hard, and they wanted us to prove our worth with our record."
Hearing this, Eliza just pushed her glasses expressionlessly, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
"…Legendary Griffon Knights get sick? I should have pinched those bastards to death! Is 'The Flashing Red Knight' Elson? Well, I remember you. I'll wait patiently for you to talk about the Styx One day, perhaps, I will send you down myself!"
In a sense, even within the human world, super empires are synonymous with domineering. In their eyes, being willing to support the seven northern countries is a great gift. How can superpowers accept the command of small countries and the command of coalition forces Of course to him.
On the premise that the leading Principality of Casomi was only a vassal of San Antonio, from the moment the reinforcements arrived, the command of the coalition was handed over to these proud San Antonio people.
At this time, it was obvious that the people of San Antonio were very dissatisfied with Dong Lan, who made war money, especially since they sent the least reinforcements among the six northern countries.
But the quality of Donglan's air knights at the lowest gold level, even San Antonio must face it, so they asked Donglan's air cavalry to fight in the name of the commander of the coalition forces.
In the beginning, Donglan's Aurora Knight and Bone Dragon Knight did win streak in a duel, and together with Donglan, who had been weak for many years, became famous.
But the Orc Fang has no plans for a one-on-one fight. If it is compared to the number, Donglan's new generation of air knights is not yet mature, the number of undead air knights is too small, and there are other combat missions. Even Dimir is also on the other side. Wounded in the wheel battle.
"Other aurora knights? Is there anyone else who can fight?"
Even in the heyday of Lan Kingdom, the weakest Aurora Knights above the golden rank did not exceed 100. At this point in time, due to some reasons, only 15 of the more than 50 Aurora Knights in the Knights of the Dead were in the North. And most of them are not in Hongfeng City.
"The two aurora knights are not well wounded, and the other three are in good condition. The others are performing reconnaissance missions. Her Royal Highness Renee applied to fight, but was reprimanded by Lord Dimir."
Obviously, even if the three Aurora Knights are legendary rank, they are not enough to deal with the nearly 100 air cavalry from the other two wings. Although the Aurora Knights are enough to deal with aerial combat, the sky is by no means their most suitable battlefield.
Hearing this, Eliza fell into silence. She hesitated whether to lift the seal, pinched the other dragon knight to death, and then stomped to death the proud San Antonio people, but then the clone must collapse and return to the abyss. ending.
"If Roland is here..."
In a sense, this was the first time that Eliza was alone with a national-level burden. No wonder she was so hesitant. Even though she knew that this assumption was meaningless, she still instinctively considered this possibility.
"...Lord Eliza, in fact, His Royal Highness Roland once left a letter."
After hesitating for a long time, the attendant finally spoke up, as if the current situation had reached the expected predicament.
You can contact me directly, yet still leave a letter? Eliza was stunned when she heard the words, but then she could only shake her head reluctantly.
"Have you been seen through by this guy again?"
Yes, Roland knew Eliza's temperament from the beginning, so he naturally prepared before leaving, and in order to take care of the other party's self-esteem, obviously he would not show it until such a critical moment.
[…Since you have seen this letter, then the situation is probably not good. Let me guess, what annoys you and doesn't tell me is 80% annoyance within the coalition. There are too many external factors in this war, and the positions of both the enemy and us are unstable. It is not surprising that anyone betrays anyone, and maintaining strength is the priority. As for other countries? All offenses don't matter. As long as it crosses the border, even allies will find it right. You should be in the abyss and learn how the old demons treat their allies. You are more familiar with their way of doing things than I am.]
Roland seems to be unreliable, but in fact, he is scheming to the extreme. He trusts anyone, and he doesn't believe in anyone. From the beginning, he has made various plans and back-ups.
In Roland's eyes, even if San Antonio didn't come, it would be difficult for Dong Lan, who has few personnel, to gain command of the coalition forces. All are difficult.
This has nothing to do with the individual's ability and will. In this kind of temporary coalition, whoever has the most fists and who speaks effectively is simply an iron law, and once the commander-in-chief falls into the hands of other countries, it is inevitable to use you as cannon fodder.
It's not that Roland thinks others too badly, but that he saves others by himself.
He is convinced that if he has the command, he will 100% let the soldiers of other countries become cannon fodder and keep his main force, and the facts also prove this speculation.
However, since there are not many people on the bright side, the Lan Kingdom has suffered the least losses these days, and the worst losses are the Rhodenan Kingdom and the Ansolor Empire. The Knights were pulled to the rear and charged many times. At this time, the battle damage has exceeded 30%, and the complaints are not small.
This is also the derivation of political factors in the battlefield. These two countries are the four southern countries (the four countries with more southern forces) among the seven northern countries. When the Siluwell in the southern four countries is in danger, and the Principality of Kasomi is the Under the premise that the three northern countries did not listen to the command very much, it was obvious who should be the cannon fodder.
The most unfortunate one should be the Rhodenan Kingdom. They were clearly politically inclined to the north, but because the royal family members were all southern nobles, they were strangled to death by the great southern country, San Antonio.
In the other two countries of the Three Northern Kingdoms except Donglan, the highland kingdom of Suya with barbarian blood, and the kingdom of Fengqi, which is almost as old as the Lan Kingdom, directly ignored the blind command of the San Antonio people.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said directly, but putting aside those appearances and cover-ups, looking directly at the results, the direct exchanges between countries are often so bloody and direct.
In fact, with Eliza's ability, she couldn't see these twists and turns, but because the responsibility of guarding Roland was too heavy, she had too many scruples, but she couldn't make a decision to turn her face. Now that there is Roland's handwritten letter After loosening the tie, she naturally won't hesitate any more.
"Let's just say that our air knight is also sick. Well, he has a cold and a fever of 40 degrees, how can he go to the sky to fight. What? The undead don't have a fever? Let's talk about diarrhea. Well, yes, I just made it clear that they won't give it to them. Face. If they are not happy, then ask them why Elson is sick. If it still doesn't make sense, let Dimer go to meet the Griffin Knight to see if he is healed."
And when Eliza made up her mind not to compromise and give her face directly, she also felt a little more relaxed.
And when she was just about to pour herself a cup of black tea and take a rest, and then deal with those annoying business affairs, a reckless figure broke in.
"Not good, the latest news. The Anzoolo Empire suddenly turned against the army and attacked our army's middle battalion. Our army was defeated!"
"puff."
The seven countries of the extreme north suddenly became the six countries of the extreme north. No matter how well Eliza has cultivated, she still spit out that mouthful of black tea. At this time, she really understood what Roland meant.
"Every time a jihad is when all countries and major forces regroup, the positions of both the enemy and us are unstable, and it is not surprising who betrayed. We should also give priority to preserving our strength."
…
In the hangar of the Aurora, dozens of engineers were busy, but the team of teenagers Cohen and Timurette inexplicably became the leader of the research team.
"Why doesn't His Highness let us put them into the battlefield test? If it can play a theoretical role, our situation should be much better, and it can also look good to those Yankees."
"Mortal wisdom."
Ever since he had been in contact with His Royal Highness Roland, Timurett had fallen in love with those pretentious lines.
Now, as long as someone asks him what he doesn't understand, he will definitely pull down his glasses (flat light), and then talk about "stupid human beings", "the knowledge of mortals", "monkeys are smarter than you".
Whether he seems to be very knowledgeable or not, it is true that people want to flatten him.
Well, many people in the League of Gentlemen have already been flattened, but apparently Timmy forgot again.
"...Is there any potential meaning of this? We are not gods, we are naturally mortals. You haven't told me why you don't go into battle."
Well, facing the serious-looking Cohen, facing many times of playing off, even Timurette, who has always jumped off, has also restrained a little.
"My stupid brother..."
It seems that, in a sense, this convergence is really limited.
"I'm older than you. Also, I'm not blood related to you."
Cohen is obviously more sensible. It is this kind of character. After receiving Roland's order, Timurett worked overtime obediently every day. Finally, Timurett couldn't bear it anymore.
"You wooden head with no sense of humour and no artist's sails to speak of, are you really a mage? A virtue with those knightly muscle sticks!"
"I'm not a mage at all. Am I really like a knight, great! Hehe, I'm not as good as you say."
Well, the next time is the time when the little Timmy goes crazy, but even if you give him two arms, he will definitely not be able to beat Cohen. In a sense, Cohen, who is obviously very young but insists on being old-fashioned, is simply a mention. The enemy of rice.
"Well, let me tell the truth. What Your Highness means is that the group of guys below are not reliable at all. These are our back-ups, and they can't be used until the critical moment."
"When is the moment of truth?"
"That's a lot, but it won't be used until a critical moment, and as long as the superior thinks it must be used, the green light above the hangar will turn into a red light."
"Green light? I didn't see it. Am I really colorblind?"
"Isn't it right above your head, that red light is... wait, it's a red light!! The war is on!"
…
The Siro Swamp, the Great Katya Desert, and the Baikal Plateau were once forbidden areas for the living, and they were also the territory of the Siro Empire.
At this time, it has become a battlefield. Countless undead are killing each other. The invisible black death is roaring on the battlefield. The ground is full of bones and rotten flesh. The undead on both sides of the enemy are using actual combat. understand.
The Ciro civil war has been going on for several months, and at this point, both sides have suffered heavy losses, and the war has come to an end.
At this critical moment, more than 30 Aerial Knights suddenly came here. They were wearing black cloaks and could not see their figures clearly, but judging from the transparent white phantom mounts and the terrifying power of death that filled their bodies, it was obvious that They are all very advanced death knights.
And just after falling, a figure has been waiting for a long time.
"It's finally here. It's been hard work all the way, but unfortunately there's no time to rest."
"Oh, do we need to rest, little Reinhardt, according to His Highness's instructions, we are here. Our plan can begin, of course, it is not wrong to say the end."
…
The once-giant city Antoun has suffered the greatest catastrophe in history. Not only has he lost most of the city walls, but what is even more dangerous is that his master has lost the hearts and minds of the people.
In the long siege battle, countless civilians and soldiers sacrificed without complaint, but when the war made resources scarce, the royal family not only did not open the treasury to distribute food, but instead collected military food from the people, which has already caused public outrage.
Since the beginning of the war, King Fimuel Caso has not appeared. In addition, before the orcs invaded, it is said that Prince Roland made a warning. Fimr not only did not listen, but also slandered the other party's unpredictable intentions.
Now the facts have proved the stupidity of this majesty, and the behavior of cowering in his own palace has proved his cowardice. Coupled with the selfishness of restraining food, the reputation of this majesty has become infamous.
In this dangerous world, the people have the obligation to support the lord, but the lord also has the obligation to protect the lord. This is the most basic trust relationship between the two, and when the lord is unwilling to perform his most basic duty, what can he do? Hold on to your own throne.
"Fimr doesn't deserve to be king!"
Someone had already shouted this slogan in the streets, but at this time, the king had just executed a concubine who persuaded him to go up to the city wall to fight, and hid in his palace and shivered.
"You all want me to die! You all want me to die! You are all assassins sent by Roland, and you all want to grab my throne! I won't let you get your wish, I must live!"
At the same time, in a residence in An Toun, the two temporary stowaways were a little bit at a loss as to what to do.
"Margaret, I want to kill such a bastard, do I have to keep him?"
"...If you're upset, just deal with him, but don't kill him, or the city will be over. 'Save An Toun', hum, that guy Roland can really send tasks casually."
"Don't worry, he will get his retribution soon. My intuition has always been accurate. It is the commonly known Xiu... Asura sword?"
"... Shura field, huh, it's still a strange term invented by Roland, but it falls on him every time. But this time, most likely not. In front of Eliza, I don't think that Renee is competitive. Yan, your intuition must have guessed wrong this time."
"Hehe, some parts are not intuitive."
The red-haired warrior casually shook the crumpled letter, greetings from his hometown and anticipation of someone's upcoming visit.
"You didn't tell Roland? Are you planning to cheat him again?"
"Hehe, I really forgot this time, definitely not on purpose."
"If you forget it every time, it's intentional."
…
Few people know that the most secret passage to the underworld in the North is actually in the kingdom of elves.
At this time, an adventure group consisting of two girls was wandering in it.
"Anlia, are you sure this is the way? Why do I feel like I'm going the wrong way again."
"Sister Anne, just believe me. Absolutely. In my grandfather's name, my horseshoe is guiding me, the road ahead."
"You said the same half a month ago, why don't you ask someone to ask."
"Can I find someone to ask... Hey, that banshee sister over there, does the elf's territory go this way?"
…
"You are my little little apple, I can't love you too much, the little red face warms my heart, lights up the fire of my life, it's so hot!!"
When many things were waiting for me to deal with, I was in the snow-capped mountains, beating drums and singing songs, why? It's probably the ones around here who sing along.
"Fire fire fire fire!"
"What is fire? Can you eat it?"
"You can definitely eat it! You didn't see the tears that the human sang coming out, you must be greedy!"
"Okay, I want to try it too. There is only snow slag in the snow mountain."
There are snowmen, snow monsters, and snow girls. On this festive day of Winter Veil, they held a grand entertainment event, and when they heard that I was a descendant of the legendary singer Lan Wang from thousands of years ago, I I was told that if I don't have a good performance, I can't take an ice monster away.
Yes, the legendary singer, the King of Lan of the year used this to handle these ice monsters.
At this time, I am greedy for tears. Humans don't have this ability at all. I am obviously going crazy in a hurry.
"One more, one more!"
"You sing so well, little Apple! Like! Little Apple must be the love you miss."
"Well, there are so many cubs in the altar, you can take as many as you can sing."
I finally know why the King of Lan has never said what happened to him back then. Even if the historical truth has always been pitiful, but to the extent that he was pitted, it would be considered a unique one.
Wiped away tears, the audience is so powerful, I can only continue.
My musical skills are extremely limited, and most of the songs I remember the lyrics are divine songs that were filled with magic sounds back then.
"I betrayed my love and forced me to leave. I finally found out the truth and tears fell..."
A hundred years later, there is a legend circulating here that when the mountain people got lost in the snow-capped mountains during the Winter Veil Festival, if he came back, he would become stupid and madly sing the crazy voice of the devil, and listen to it. Those who come to this song will also become silly, and they only know how to sing along.
"The vast horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the green hills..."
