In the evening, dazzling magic lights have been lit up on the streets of Debilis. After a busy day, only at this moment is the most relaxed and comfortable time. At this time, the business of the bar is always very good, and everyone just
I want to relax as much as I can at this time to get rid of my fatigue.
However, evening is not a time for everyone to rest. Due to the war, some officials in Moyue's palace are still working intensely. Even the king himself does not have much leisure time. For him,
, perhaps this short leisure only occurs when eating and sleeping.
At the dinner table, Otillet XVII was enjoying the delicious food of the palace, but his eyes were fixed unblinkingly on a report held in his left hand.
Athena wiped her mouth and said, "Don't look at it anymore during the meal."
Otillet XVII dropped the report in his hand, exhaling an annoying sullen breath from his nose.
"Disturbing report?"
"See for yourself." The Seventeenth Emperor picked up the red wine glass on the table and took a long sip.
Athena took the report and looked at it, her brows furrowed: "So much money was spent in just two months?"
"Fighting on two fronts, there are millions of troops, and all kinds of materials have to be transported continuously. If this war continues for a few more months, this military expenditure will probably have to be doubled several times."
Athena said: "But you also know that this war will not end in a short time. The war must be fought and money must be spent. If it is inevitable, don't worry about it."
Seventeenth said: "That's not what worries me. The domestic situation in St. Bikea is tense now. The origin of this war was provoked by Prince Zarberg of St. Bikea. If he succeeds in seizing power, I will
I am worried that he will further expand the scale of the war."
"This is a long-term threat to Demon Moon. If he is a crazy war fighter, the situation in the future will be even more chaotic." Athena said: "And the Western Territory does not know about the cooperation between the Gripen Empire and Saint Vicoia.
How deep.”
The Seventeenth World said: "I have been doubtful about the actions of the Holy Gripen Empire in the West in the past two months. Since their army marched, despite their fierceness, the progress has been very slow. Although it can be understood that this is the reason
The situation is to allow Saint Bikoya to send more troops to share the pressure of the Demon Moon on them. But with more than three million troops pressed on the border, such a consumption may not be worth the loss."
Athena nodded: "Gryphon's Chen Bing will indeed induce Saint Bikoa to make greater moves. If Saint Bikoya really does not hesitate to fight, they will never let go of this opportunity. But at present, Saint Bikoya will not hesitate to fight."
Although the Fang had two reinforcement operations, the reinforcements were not very large."
"Perhaps they are just waiting for a better opportunity." The Seventeenth took up the knife and fork and sighed: "Stop talking about this, why don't you see Alice? Is she back?"
"She has come back and is playing around in the palace with her four little apprentices." Athena said: "By the way, have you met the king of Ponte this afternoon?"
"Um."
"what's the result?"
Seventeenth ate a piece of steak, shrugged and said, "I refuse."
"Oh, what conditions did he offer?" Athena asked.
"Resources and trade." Seventeenth said: "But I think this matter will do more harm than good to Mo Yue."
Athena thought for a while and said: "From a geographical point of view, it is indeed very difficult to send troops to Ponte. Just using resources as a bargaining chip is not enough for Moyue. But I think if he can come up with appropriate benefits,
In exchange, restoring the throne for him is not non-negotiable."
"Do you think Ponte has the interests that Demon Moon needs?" asked the Seventeenth Generation.
Athena said: "Although Mo Yue is one of the three most powerful countries in the world, geographical restrictions mean that the country's influence is mainly in the northern part of the main continent. But if we can use this incident to expand Mo Yue's influence in the south, and
Effective management and the formation of a friendly state may pose a considerable threat to Saint Bikoya in the future. Although the status of the current Ponte Empire is no longer as good as that of the old Ponte era long ago, this country is the most powerful country in the Eastern Continent.
The influence should still be there. Now that Dilmogada has not sought help from the Disman Republic and Saint Bikoa nearby, this is an opportunity for Demon Moon to show a positive image. As for more practical benefits,
I don’t know if he can get what Mo Yue needs, but since he wants to restore the throne so much, he will definitely do his best to meet our demands. It depends on whether we can induce him to make greater determination."
After listening to her words, the Seventeenth World nodded slowly: "Well, let's see again and see if he is willing to pay more."
…
After three and a half days of traveling, Langdon and others finally arrived at Zawiya before Joda's injury became uncontrollable.
"Wow, this is Zawiya. It's so lively. It's completely different from our military camp." Looking down at the Zawiya camp from mid-air, houses and tents are scattered but orderly across the entire ring-shaped valley.
, before it even landed, I could already hear the tinkling sound of the blacksmith tinkering, the chatter of soldiers, the roar of patrolling monsters, and so on.
Zawiya was originally the base camp where the San Bikoya army was stationed. After the victory in the "Tianqian Counterattack", Ruhr moved the army's base camp from Idso to here. Unlike other military camps, this is because
It is the location of the base camp. Materials, supplies, military craftsmen, and medical care are quite complete, and communications between various armies are also very frequent.
Under the leadership of the air patrol from his base camp, Langdon urged the cavalry riding the lightning dragon to quickly land in front of the hospital. At this time, Joda's face on the dragon was already very ugly, and his whole body was white with steam.
The smoke and the burning in his body had caused his body temperature to evaporate all the moisture in the air, and he was already in a semi-conscious state.
"Quick, quick, quick." After landing, Langdon's urging became even more urgent: "Hurry up and help the general into the doctor. Move faster."
Irina, who was closest, quickly stepped forward to help her, but as soon as she put her hand on her, Irina was immediately burned and screamed: "Wow, it's so hot."
With this help, Irina's hand was burned by Juda's clothes and her skin blistered.
"Useless trash, let me do it." As he spoke, Langdon had already gotten off the other eagle dragon, and pulled away Irina, who was crying in pain, to help Juda.
Irina felt a little aggrieved to be scolded like this, but she also knew that Langdon was also worried about General Judah and was anxious, so he spoke harshly.
Luo stepped forward and patted Irina on the back to express comfort.
Because it was in front of the hospital, there were many doctors and nurses coming and going, so when I saw this situation, a doctor came to help quickly.
After sending Judah to the hospital, a doctor quickly organized an emergency. The soldiers wanted to accompany him, but were stopped outside the emergency room.
In the porch, Langdon and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, with a doctor's treatment, it should be fine."
"Huh, it's really dangerous." A soldier said with emotion: "General Juda's body has been burned to 80 or 90 degrees. If it had been half a day later, I'm afraid..."
"Shut your stinky mouth." Another soldier knocked him: "General Judah has the blessing of God, there must be no chance. General Langdon, let us guard the emergency room. You should go to General
Go there to resume your life."
"Yes." Langdon looked at the closed door of the emergency room and nodded: "I'll leave this to you. If anything happens, come to General Ruhr and find me immediately."
When he got here, of course Langdon had military matters to report to his superiors, so he didn't wait any longer here and left the hospital immediately.
After General Langdon left, Wayne and others waited boredly in the corridor of the hospital.
On the other side, Langdon arrived at the central operations command room of the base camp.
"Oh, you're here." Of course, Ruhr already knew about Langdon's arrival from the message from the memory stone. After giving instructions on the important tasks in hand, he asked Langdon: "Where's Judah?"
"He was sent directly to the hospital for emergency treatment."
Ruhr asked again: "Have you brought the detailed report of the Seventh Army?"
"Bring it here, please take a look at it, General." Langdon took out a military report from under his armor and handed it to Ruhl.
Ruhr glanced through it briefly, but did not take a closer look immediately, and said: "If we can surround and kill Guinness, Edward's revenge will be avenged. What is the current situation of the army?"
"Now the army..." Langdon reported the army and situation to Ruhr in detail.
Ruel nodded after listening: "Oh, at first I was worried that you would disobey Judah's leadership, but now it seems that my worries are unnecessary."
Langdon said: "There was a little bit of emotion in the army at first, but Joda is indeed a man with great leadership ability, and now all the generals also believe in him."
"Well, that's good. The most important thing in the army is unity. Five fingers clenched together form a fist."
Langdon asked: "General, do you have any plans for the Eastern Front strategy? I want to know what kind of preparations our army should make."
"The Eastern Front." Ruhr thought for a while and said: "The Eastern Front is not suitable for making big moves at the moment. It depends on the development of the situation. What you have to do now is to defend every stronghold on the Eastern Front. It is absolutely not right.
Let Santa Vicoia open up a new situation here, and perhaps the eastern front will become an important decisive point in the future."
"I see."
Ruhr added: "Also, in this battle to hunt down Genis, were there any movements of other armies except Vidmila, Grefa and Genis's troops?"
"No. In the entire battle, only three armies of Saint Vicoia participated. Is the general worried about the two demi-human and orc armies lurking in the dark?"
Ruhr said: "These two armies supporting the Eastern Front were accidentally discovered by our intelligence personnel, but no further action was taken. I am worried that Saint Bikoya is plotting some new operations. After you go back, you should pay more attention to this aspect.
Intelligence. Accurately grasping the enemy's intelligence information is very important for war."
"Yes, I will strengthen reconnaissance in this area."
