"Ha ha ha ha!
Eat to your heart's content! Drink!
You deserve this!
The cowards of the Kusha Empire are no match for us!
It won't be long before I lead the legion to defeat them!
Then go eastward and conquer the entire Kusha Empire’s huge territory!”
Mordred stood on the table, raising his glass of wine and delivering a victory speech to his officers and soldiers.
Because not only did they once again thwart the Kusha people's attempt to push the front forward, but they also consumed a large amount of the monster legions and were fully prepared for the upcoming counterattack.
Yes, counterattack.
As a rebellious person from top to bottom, Mordred will not be satisfied with just passive defense.
The main reason why she has not taken the initiative to launch an attack is because she has too few available troops.
Especially those officers and soldiers who have been strengthened and transformed can only barely hold the border at present, and are simply unable to make a full-scale attack against the Kusha Empire, which has a huge land area and strategic depth.
Because as long as the Terror Emperor is clear in his mind, he will not choose to fight a decisive battle with Mordred. Instead, he will give up part of the conquered land to lure the enemy deeper, and then let the rest of the legions directly attack the Kingdom of Mitlan itself, and plunder it through
, massacre and enslavement to destroy the country's war potential.
Once there are no logistical supplies and human resources, no matter how powerful the army is, it will begin to collapse from within.
As Mordred, who once took advantage of King Arthur's cross-sea expedition to launch a rebellion and defeated the invincible army led by his "father" while waiting for work, he obviously knew this better than anyone else.
Therefore, she chose to endure for the time being, planning to wait until the rear to completely defeat and occupy the surrounding countries, including the King's Hall, and integrate all the wealth, war resources and manpower of the other parties, and then launch an all-out war with the powerful Kusha Empire.
It has to be said that compared to Artoria, the ascetic leader who has too much sense of honor, responsibility, and morality, Mordred is undoubtedly a leader who is more likely to be supported by the army and soldiers.
The reason is simple.
She never had to maintain the "majesty of the king". After every battle, she could enjoy drinking and carousing with her subordinates, and praise and encourage those who performed bravely on the battlefield.
That kind of unabashed enthusiasm, as well as the ruthlessness, bloodthirsty and cruelty towards the enemy will undoubtedly greatly improve morale.
Seeing the high-spirited appearance of the young general, Gus, who was forcibly pulled here, couldn't help but smile bitterly. He raised his cup and took a sip of malt liquor, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
In fact, what he is least good at dealing with is this kind of extremely enthusiastic and somewhat familiar person.
Back then, Griffith was able to break his ice-sealed heart, to a certain extent, by relying on this kind of "stalking" without any sense of boundaries.
It's just that at that time, Gus was still a young man with a blank emotional experience, so he unknowingly integrated into the Eagles led by Griffith and even regarded it as his home.
But now after undergoing the sacrifice of the Demon Ascension Ceremony, his resistance in this regard has become much stronger.
After all, as a sacrifice, he would attract apostles and monsters wherever he went.
This is definitely a very dangerous thing for those around you.
Although Mordred has shown his powerful power as a heroic spirit, these transformed officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Midland are not ordinary people.
But Gus is still unwilling to involve them in this feud between himself and Griffith.
So he planned to leave directly after eating and drinking.
As for the war between the Kingdom of Mitlan and the Kusha Empire, he could not control it, but he was prepared to do so.
And compared to the chaotic scene of chaos and dancing demons in the east of the continent, Gus prefers the prosperity, order and the people's mental state full of expectations for the future displayed in the area ruled by Zuo Si.
That's what a normal world should be like.
He even thought on the way that maybe after he killed Griffith, he could consider taking Casca to find a small village in the west to settle down, and never have to fight or kill anyone again, and live peacefully.
A peaceful second half of life.
Unlike those who are ambitious and eager to change the status quo and transcend classes through war, Gus has been on the battlefield as a mercenary since he was nine years old, so he knows very well how terrible and cruel war is.
In his more than ten years of mercenary career, he has seen too many deaths, including those caused by soldiers from both sides of the war during fierce battles, and the atrocities of the army massacring civilians. Many people even died by his own sword.
Down.
He has long been tired of this kind of life, tired of needing to live by taking other people's lives.
Just as Gus was eating the stew from the bowl and thinking about his life and future, a young man who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old suddenly opened the door in a hurry and rushed into the hall, out of breath.
The voice shouted: "No... it's not good! There was a riot in the Sin Convict Tower in the King's Hall. Many monsters suddenly appeared out of thin air and killed all the living people in the area. Our ninth legion was almost completely wiped out."
"What? Monster!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you fake? The Ninth Army has two special operations squadrons. How can it be possible for the entire army to be wiped out?"
"That's right! That's already the most powerful legion besides us."
…
Suddenly the entire hall was buzzing with discussions, and almost everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
Because Hansel, in order to completely destroy the religion and theocracy in this land, equipped this army specially used to destroy the King's Hall with the most transformed human officers and soldiers second only to Mordred.
Normally, it was almost impossible to annihilate such an army before the popularity of cannon.
The young man who reported the news took a sip of the wine that was passed to him, then wiped his mouth and continued: "It's not clear exactly what happened. But someone reported seeing a winged bullhorn monster on its back.
There was a handsome man with long silver hair sitting on it. They passed through the sky above the Sin Convict Tower and flew to the southeast."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this sentence, Gus, who was still hanging high and indifferent one second, suddenly stood up from his chair the next second, and the whole picture
His face became extremely hideous and terrifying.
Obviously, from the other party's simple description, he was almost certain that the horned monster was the first apostle he encountered that year - the immortal Zod.
And the person riding on Zod's back is 100% the enemy he has been looking for - Griffith.
Just as Zuo Si told him before, the demon king who became the Hand of God finally returned to the world in the form of the Eagle of Light.
As for what happened, Gus didn't care at all.
He only knew that the anger and hatred accumulated in his heart could finally find a channel to vent.
Mordred obviously noticed Gus's reaction, and immediately came closer and asked: "Do you know anything?"
"If I guess correctly, it is the apostle and the hand of God who caused all this. My old friend Griffith is back."
After that, Gus walked straight towards the outside of the castle fortress, and soon turned into a small black dot.
apostle?
Hand of God?
Although the officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Mitland present were very unfamiliar with these two words, Mordred knew very well that this meant that the God of the Abyss was finally about to meet his end.
Maybe it's dissatisfaction with the current world situation that is turbulent, chaotic and beyond one's control, or it may be a counterattack against outsiders.
In short, the Hand of God is to a large extent an extension of the will of the world.
The destruction of the King's Hall and the Ninth Legion was not an accident, but a signal to declare war.
After understanding this, Mordred no longer wanted to play war games with the Kusha Empire, and immediately used teleportation magic to return to the capital of the Kingdom of Mitlan.
As soon as she appeared, she saw that Anastasia was getting angry, but Hansel was lying on the chair with a nonchalant look, enjoying the grapes and other fruits brought to his mouth by the maids.
.
"Damn it!
I've only been away for a few days, and you made such a big fuss for me?
Have you forgotten the little master’s instructions before leaving?
Be low-key! Low-key! Low-key!
But what about you?
He actually took away the Kingdom of Mitland and started wars everywhere, making the whole world a mess!"
Anastasia was obviously so angry that she was about to explode on the spot.
Because she had just met Flora, the witch in this world, and learned about the underworld, the God of the Abyss, and the law of cause and effect, she understood the serious consequences that such a naked and unabashed act of destruction would bring.
Especially the possible counterattack by the God of the Abyss is definitely not something he can handle.
However, Hansel just sneered and retorted: "Come on.
