Chapter 369 The Missing Undead
Chapter 369: The Missing Dead
In the mid-air of the month, Fernando finally said everything he wanted to say. In fact, this was originally a welcome party. No matter how irreconcilable the two sides had, at least they had to be able to live up to their face, otherwise they would seem too stingy and laugh at them. Who knew that Fernando had turned the welcome party into a military meeting. Strictly speaking, this was unnecessary. In the entire Moramachi town, almost no one knew military affairs except Kumaragosha in this regard, and Kumaragosha did not attend. Fernando was simply playing the piano against a cow.
Fernando not only explained his plan, but also showed the strategic goals of each stage. The two sides did not exchange information about Hei Shui City, but Fernando proposed the idea of a north-south joint attack. Obviously, he understood the situation of Hei Shui City and knew that Hei Shui City had the strength to change from defense to attack. An Fei felt relieved when he remembered the Eagle King Mangshu that Fernando mentioned just now.
Fernando also talked about something that puzzled all countries. Since the beginning, they have launched all potentials, deployed defenses, stabilized the front, and fought for time to breathe, but the offensive of the undead creatures fell into a period of weakness, their number was far lower than estimates, but the undead mages almost disappeared inexplicably.
Taking the country of mercenaries as an example, the population of Hengduan Valley is not high, but the northward, the denser the population. The villages and towns of all sizes are densely populated, and some villages and towns are only a dozen miles away, or even a few miles away. This large area was looted by the undead creatures at the beginning, and almost no one escaped. According to the most conservative estimate, the undead creatures in this area have reached about 250,000, and 250,000 undead creatures are enough to advance hundreds of undead mages and keep hundreds of undead mages rich in magic at all times. That is to say, there should be a undead magic group in this area.
The actual situation is not the case. The number of undead creatures is at most between 100,000 and 150,000, and no undead magician has seen it. So, where are more than 100,000 undead creatures going? And this is not an individual phenomenon. Various countries have similar intelligence feedback.
Undead creatures have evolved their intelligence and often kill each other, which is not a new thing. Many people know that, but they have lost more than half of the killer... This explanation is a bit far-fetched. What's even more strange is why the necromancer never interferes?
Knowing yourself and your enemy, winning every battle is very simple common sense. The problem is that those necromancers are well aware of the situation on the mainland. Not to mention that they know everything, but they are not too different. There are even some people who are willing to fall into the depravity and act as spies. On the other hand, intelligence personnel from various countries have at most found out about the internal structure of the necromancer. They cannot understand too much, because it is a path of no return. If you want to gain the trust of the necromancer, you must first become a member of them. But you have become a dead creature, how can you serve the original monarch?
However, Fernando, who was eager to open up the situation, did not care about these things. He had decided to start the expedition tomorrow. The vanguard army would go north along the commercial road, and the central army followed closely behind. Chris Tsing, as the supervisor, would set out with the army. Fernando begs An Fei to lead some mercenaries together. One of his goals was to rescue the trapped mercenaries, broaden the enemy and lay the foundation for the development of the church. However, it was relatively difficult for him to deal with mercenaries, so it would be better to let the mercenaries communicate with their companions. An Fei hesitated for a moment and agreed to Fernando's plea and absorb more mercenaries.
Joining the major leagues is their established local policy. Even if Fernando doesn't say it, he has to find a way to go together. However, Fernando made this request first. This made An Fei feel a little contempt in his heart. Even though he knew that both sides were not people with the same position, he still had to ask for help. This was equivalent to giving in to the benefits. Maybe he was too young, so the other party looked down on himself first, but no matter who despises whom first, there will always be a day when the truth will turn against him. An Fei was not afraid. The backer behind him was too huge, enough to crush Fernando into powder.
Regarding the issue of left-behind and baggage land, Fernando said that he would not interfere with Anfei. Most of the baggage would be taken away, and the rest would be kept in Moramachi. As for where to keep it, Anfei would decide, he would not give any opinions, and he could even take all the soldiers away to give Moramachi absolute freedom. Alice did not wait for Anfei to express her opinion and took the lead in objecting. She asked Fernando to leave at least 30,000 infantrymen in Moramachi and a priest regiment, and the dungeon of Moramachi could also be opened to them.
Fernando said that the Shield of Light will sweep away all the undead creatures along the way. Moramachi Town is very safe. There is no need to leave so many soldiers. They should be placed on the battlefield. Alice insists on her own opinion and will never give in. Fernando is silent for a moment, but still agrees with Alice's request.
Seeing Fernando say goodbye and walk out of the conference room, Tagore jumped up first, moved his almost stiff body, and lowered his voice and said, "Sir, do I think Fernando is still very good?" An Fei, Alice and others could talk to Fernando, and Ozguchi and others could have a little understanding of it. Only Tagore and Khufu, whether it is strategic plans or personnel arrangements, they could not understand its potential meaning.
"Tagor, why do you say he is good?" Orsey smiled.
"I'm pretty good and very polite. Just now, Lord Alice slapped him on the table, but he wasn't angry."
"Yes." Khufu replied in a muffled voice.
"You guys..." Orsey shook his head with a smile: "When you go to the forest to hunt magic crystals, will you deliberately shout and tell those monsters that we are here to hunt them?"
"Of course not, do you think I'm stupid?!" Tagore shouted.
"Are you stupid? Everyone knows, so I won't say much." Orsey smiled and said, "But I tell you, neither will Fernando!"
"Olsey, what do you mean?" Tagore was really angry.
"Okay, Tagore, Orsey is not targeting you. I have a good impression of Fernando, too." Ozguchi continued: "But people like him, even if they want to plot against us, their faces will not be revealed. Don't confuse him with the stupid monster. Just look at the monster and you will know whether the monster is afraid or want to escape, or fight with us. But you stare at him from morning to night, and you can't guess what he is thinking."
Tagore scratched his head and said nothing.
"So, Tagore, can you guess what Lord Anfei and Alice are thinking now?" said Orsey.
"Then how can I guess?"
"So, you'd better talk less and just listen to the orders of the two adults." Orsey was actually good for Tagore, and had already been loyal to An Fei. Now Fernando led the Shield Legion of Light to Moramachi Town, and turned around to talk about Fernando's benefits, which would bring An Fei a fence-bearing feeling. Orsey knew that Tagore was not such a person, but just said whatever he had. Although his head was bigger than others, he was pitifully weak. If someone said this, Orsey would not stand up.
Unfortunately, Tagore couldn't understand Orsie's intentions, but instead glared at Orsie and sat down heavily.
"Ozguchi and Orsey are right. When dealing with people from the Light Church, you must be vigilant." An Fei said lightly: "Wolf is not terrible. We know how to deal with it. A wolf in sheep's clothing is terrible. It will bite off your throat when you are ignorant."
"Sir, let's put the matter of Fernando aside. In the near future, he must rely on us to open up the situation, so he won't make things difficult for the time being." Alice said softly: "We have six groups now, which groups do you want to take with you?"
"If we bring fewer people, we will not only not be able to absorb others, but will be easily absorbed by others. If we bring more people, it will be a little difficult to deal with here..." An Fei frowned and said slowly after a while: "I took Ozguchi, Orsey and Khufu away, and everyone else stayed here."
"Don't you bring Hippela?" Alice asked in surprise.
"No, you are a little weak." An Fei shook his head: "Let Hippera be your assistant will help you stabilize the situation."
"What about Lord Ernest?"
"I'm not a child, so I can't let Uncle Ernest follow me all day long, right?" An Fei smiled and said, "What's more, Uncle Ernest has always been obsessed with swordsmanship and hates socializing. It's already very forced to pull him out to greet Fernando today. I don't want to bother him anymore." An Fei was very clear that Ernest has been taking care of him and protecting him, which was only out of the care of his elders, but he couldn't always let Ernest run around with him. Doing so first interfered with Ernest's freedom and also affected Ernest's cultivation. Secondly, he became a villain who likes to pretend to be a tiger. In the long run, Ernest's perception of him will change. Therefore, people should be more self-reliant and not always rely on others, otherwise it will not only be looked down upon, but also be very unfavorable to their own growth.
"Where is… Lord Entos?"
"I'll go and ask him for his opinion later."
