"The people around Loper and Xia Boyang are familiar and have certain abilities, so they can serve as our liaisons."
After the performance, Werner Negri took Griffith around.
Griffith waited for him for a while and found that Comrade Political Commissar seemed not to be prepared to express his opinion on whether the newly-built army would oppose a lord like Griffith.
No matter what, as long as the army can fight... Griffith didn't ask any questions.
If the Confederate army could really be used, he didn't care whether the industrialists, farmers, shipowners and civilians after victory would turn their guns on Verona's new rich.
When fighting in a large army, the strength of an individual is very weak. Whether it is Loper or the adapted rebels, how many people can survive the devastating high-level magic attack and survive until the day of victory?
However, the scene when "The Shepherdess" was performed just now made him gradually come back to his mind, and a somewhat indescribable familiarity and melancholy arose from deep in his heart.
What's going on...
"Roland will soon launch a battle of unprecedented scale in the Sebasto region. He plans to meet with you in a few days to discuss the specific situation. I will give a briefing first."
Negri continued, taking out Sebasto's map and spreading it on the ground as he spoke:
"The battle in Verona made the Confederacy re-evaluate its combat effectiveness and believed that it could launch an offensive and force the Senate and the Arcane Council to make concessions.
"Currently, Beyeran's three legions and several auxiliary armies in Sevastro are isolated by the Confederacy in several fortresses on the Tiernyi River. By taking them, Beyeran's heavy army group can be completely annihilated and the initiative can be seized in one fell swoop.
"The Confederacy's plan is to divide its troops into three routes. The northern route will besiege Turan Fort and the nearby fortresses on the Tierni River, cutting off land and water transportation between Bijeran and Canaan. It is very strong and has a large amount of supplies, so it is not suitable to attack by force.
.The superior force of the Confederacy will complete the encirclement with the support of Duke Meyer;
"The middle road relies on Sevastro and the areas that support us to contain Yamiyan. Yamiyan is the core of Beyelan's rule in Sevastro, with an elite force composed of the assault cavalry headquarters and two legions.
"The south route is the main direction of attack. Roland will personally direct it. Xia Boyang and I will go to support him after finishing the work at hand. Where do you guess the target of the attack is?"
The southern territories of Odessa and Sevasto Region are joined together to form the northern shore of the Sea of ​​Tranquility. The curved and curved coastline is divided into two parts by the mouth of the Tirne River. On the plain on the left bank, there is the hub city of Yamianyi Mountain where roads intersect.
Linhai is the base from which Beyelan launched its conquests into the far east, and is the boundary between desolation and civilization in this vast land.
Transportation across the Tirne River mainly relies on several river crossings. Since long-term fierce battles broke out in the ruins and forests along the coast, leaving behind terrible pollution and degradation, the space for the army to move is limited.
Blocking the Tirne River means cutting off Sevastro's land transportation, and encircling Beyelan's assault cavalry troops, the three regular legions of the Sevastro Group scattered in Yamiyan and Turanburg, and a large number of auxiliary troops.
stand up.
Hiss, you actually want to devour the Beyelan army on the left bank of the Tierne River in one go... Griffith glanced at Negri with a complicated mood:
"The city of Kherson at the mouth of the Tierne River is the key to Sevastopol. If you capture it, you can completely block it. However, there is the Beyelan fleet in the port there. If the Confederacy cannot cut off sea support, the risk is very high.
"The fighting that breaks out there will develop into a decisive battle."
Griffith calculated the power of the Senate and the Confederacy, overlooking it from the heights of his mind. Finally, his eyes fell on a small city east of Kherson:
"Jinge, east of Kherson, is an important town where roads intersect, and the navy's naval guns cannot support it. Once captured, it can block the support from the Kherson defenders and Odessa, and form a siege on Yamiyan."
Negri nodded: "That's right."
If I can really get rid of Jinge, surround and annihilate Yamiyan's army, Canaan will be separated from Beyelan, and my layout will have a better chance of winning, but... Griffith thought for a moment, and frowned.
They all became solemn:
"However, this place is between Yamiyan and Kherson. If the Confederate army launches an attack, it will be flanked by the Odessa reinforcements and the Yamiyan cluster.
"If you are not careful, your entire army will be wiped out."
Roland's strategy is too bold.
He was almost gambling with the fate of the Confederacy, facing the solid fortress, the majestic army and the most powerful demigod, and letting the terrifying force that made the whole world tremble with fear attack him from the south and the north.
"This is the fateful decisive battle. Is the Confederacy really ready?" Griffith asked, and before Negri could answer, he added, "No matter what, we must act decisively."
…
After bidding farewell to Negri, Griffith set off to return.
Today is May 1, 1445, and the hermit's gathering was held as scheduled.
It was too late to rush back to the manor, so Griffith summoned Desai and asked him to stay on guard nearby while he found a quiet room to attend the meeting.
Desai obeyed the commander's orders without any hesitation. However, his face was full of hesitation and worry:
"Captain Banner, do we really want to accept these traitors?
"They fought with us and killed many of our people, and sooner or later they will raise their swords against us!"
Griffith's eyes flashed coldly:
"The sword alone cannot end the war, Desai. We need the key.
"And I have found it."
After that, he said goodbye to the second-level team leader, walked into the room, dispersed his psychic energy, and walked up a flight of stairs. Soon, the light and shadow around him changed, and he unknowingly revealed a vast hall filled with fog.
.
The hermit's figure that was hard to look at had not yet appeared, and Griffith's eyes immediately turned to the position of "Miss Fengxiang" Erza.
Zhang Yang, the fiery breath is so familiar, but a little bit strange. The spiritual energy released by Naira's destruction is affecting all the chosen ones.
"I want to talk to you about something and see you later."
"Okay," Erza smiled, "I miss you too."
Miss Magician, Miss Lover and Miss Shadow Priest all focused their attention.
Having said that, everyone here is familiar with each other, but their faces are still shrouded in fog. Griffith couldn't help but look at the last person whose identity cannot be determined...
The Arbiter, the holder of the Lord of the Rings Rune, which implies contract and order, what is his identity...
At this moment, a powerful aura came.
"Good evening, Mr. Hermit~" Miss Magic stood up and curtsied to the Dark Lord. Other guests also paid tribute.
The existence of this Supreme Being is so mysterious that even after returning to reality, he remains elusive. Only his aura has become more powerful and captivating. However, His gatherings have not changed much.
I can ask him for some instructions. This great being is the enemy of Beyelan, but he did not order us to assist the Confederacy. He does not seem to care about the battle in Verona, which is somewhat strange... Griffith is somewhat
Worried about the Supreme Being's accusations, I didn't know what to say for a while.
The brave man who did not belong to this era, Roland, looked in the direction of Griffith, and then looked at the top of the long table:
"Mr. Wise Hermit, I have observed abnormal psychic fluctuations, and one of the Chosen Ones has been defeated.
"His mystery is quickly being divided. We need your knowledge. What happens next?"
The hermit nodded slightly and generously shared his knowledge:
"Human beings have their limits. The higher the level of mystery, the more dangerous it is.
"However, a very small number of special cases can exceed the limit. The meaning of the Sacrifice of the Chosen One is to select the first person to be promoted and start a miracle."
Miss Magician, the eldest daughter of the Duke of the South, Diana De Mirantis asked curiously and cautiously: "When you talk about promotion, do you mean becoming a noble demigod?"
The hermit's tone was unhurried, even emotionless:
"Everyone here has come into contact with the existence after the upgrade. According to the different nature, there are two forms, namely -
"Saint,
"tyrant."
Saint, tyrant?
The hermit's words were like thunder on the ground, even Griffith felt his heart skip a beat.
The hermit did not explain the characteristics of "saint" and "tyrant", but continued:
"The higher the concentration of psychic energy, the closer the chosen person's imprint will be to reality. The authority of the God's Hand will gradually become concrete. If one person falls, the remaining imprints can be condensed into fragments of the artifact.
"Assemble the fragments, the wish-making device comes, and it's the end."
Could Mr. Hermit be giving me a hint... Griffith thought. This information is extremely crucial to Galadia, Erza, and even himself.
Some people here tried to ask for details, but the hermit did not reveal more.
Griffith first proposed: "I need to go to Canaan, but the elves will not welcome me."
Roland snapped his fingers: "This is a simple matter. I will arrange the entrance and exit channels and support. Wait for me to contact you."
Erza looked at Roland, then returned her gaze to Griffith, seeming to consider her words:
"I need help, guys. Does anyone know anything about the trolls in the South and the ancient gods they believe in? It is said that the whereabouts of the Kingslayer have been found there."
To be continued...
