The Sey River flowing from south to north has two sources. The White Sey River originates from the tropical mountains in the south. It flows through Geb Lake, Kioga Lake and other large lakes, and then goes north through the jungle. The other source is in
The Atum Highlands with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters is called the Qingseyi River, with a total length of 680 kilometers. It passes through Lake Tana and pours down. Along the way, there are countless waterfalls and rapids, and the roar that shakes the earth is transmitted hundreds of meters away.
After roaring into the vast grassland, it merges with the calm Bai Sai River to form the main stream of Sai.
The rich towns are like pearls dotted on the green and white ribbon. They are Aswan, Erephon, Thebes, Abai, Madum, Memphis and Heliopolis. At the end of the Sei River
At the mouth of the delta at the northern end is Karolun, the largest city and port in the southern province of Beyeland.
The tributaries of the river also extend to the Sarnas crater, bringing rich water sources, flora and fauna. This basin is located in the south of Baimon Province, east of the vast Xagai Sand Sea, and is surrounded by dangerous and sharp peaks on all sides.
If you climb to the tops of giant trees or the surrounding mountaintops and look down at this lush rainforest, you will witness the most amazing natural miracles in the world.
The rainforest is full of thick vegetation, jumping birds, lively animals and steaming geysers. The scalding springs coming out of the ground can even steam people instantly.
Accompanied by Amber, Griffith took a flat-bottomed boat to the frontline headquarters.
A large number of outposts and camps have been established in this area, and although the river is full of shoals and swamps, steam barges can still carry goods and troops into the basin through the tributaries of the Sey River.
"Praise Roland, even though he is now Beyeland's enemy," Amber patted the side of the flat-bottomed boat with great interest, "The land road has only built a few narrow forest paths. Without these steam transport ships,
There is no way we can enter this wild land."
This is the border of Beyeland, and years of exploration and invasion operations have only revealed a corner of the mysterious rainforest. The Count and Countess of Larmore also ventured here when they were young, and they seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
Griffith was full of things on his mind. Thinking of what was happening and the upcoming battle, he thought for a moment and whispered:
"The mystery is about to recede."
When he said these words, Amber felt in a daze that the person in front of her was not a familiar friend, but the incarnation of a certain era and spirit. It seemed that as long as he appeared here and made a judgment, all this would be real and beyond doubt.
"Commander, be careful!"
The Marines on the flat-bottomed boat suddenly shouted. Amber quickly pulled Griffith's arm and leaned over to hide. A scream followed and passed over the head, and the whistling wind pressure cut through the skin like a knife.
.
"Fire!" The accompanying Marines raised their flintlock guns and fired a salvo at the pterosaur that had just passed the flat-bottomed boat. If the action had been slower than half a beat, Griffith would have been overturned and thrown into the river.
.
The hot and humid climate and vegetation in the crater have attracted giant beasts to inhabit. Among the giant trees and canyons are primitive dragons that are extremely rare in other parts of the world. Each of them is a powerful creature, and the leader level has become a mythical creature.
Possessing considerable intelligence, and extremely dangerous.
"There are dangers hidden everywhere here," the investigator lady helped the knight up, not forgetting to praise, "listening to you talking, I feel like the reality has become a little bit stronger."
"This is not the judgment of the hand of God." Griffith smiled.
"what is that?"
"It's technology," Griffith said. "We drained the swamps, sailed through the rainforests, used gunpowder and cannon to drive away the giant beasts. The mystery is still powerful, but humans are unstoppable."
They walked through the twists and turns of the river, and the troll pyramids were vaguely visible in the forest. The clans that settled here were the remnants of the ancient troll empire and the guardians of the holy land. City walls more than 100 meters high stood on cliffs and hillsides, huge
The huge stone ruins are hidden deep in the dense forest. The majestic stone steps are so long that there is no end in sight, and they are still stable after a long time.
"Steam transport ships can take you anywhere, but important transportation needs to be escorted by the Navy's inland river gunboats," Amber was worried that the newly arrived flag captain did not understand the situation, so she explained specifically, "Alaindale and her land warships
The team members are helping us establish a route deep into the temple area so that we can transport artillery and explosives in."
"went well?"
"It was going smoothly at first, but not long after Commodus came with his army and destroyed our defense line."
Amber pointed to the south: "Commodus' army is increasing every moment.
"As long as his army is blocked here, it will be difficult for us to provide support to the team that goes deep into the temple."
Griffith nodded.
This is all part of the plan.
Roland mobilized the Confederate army to launch a battle in Sebasto, which was enough to attract the main attention of Bayeran and the Arcane Council. Aaron, one of the six Hands of God, should be deployed to the front line to use his latest power to fight against the Confederacy
Army.
Tarkin, one of the Hands of God, was delayed in Canaan. He had a terrifying colossus, and with the full assistance of the upper elf, it was naturally easy to repel Harandil and the Canaanite rebels. However, it was difficult to defeat the rebels.
Searching them all out from the sewers and destroying them is not something Tarkin can do in a short time.
Galadia also found an astonishing secret underground in the Nebula Temple. She needs time to interpret the Iluvash Oracle and then take action. However, she is not yet sure what the secret is and how to act...
The war situation in the north has now entered a delicate and dangerous balance. Half of the gods' hands are restrained. If Griffith seizes the opportunity to decide the outcome with Commodus in the south as soon as possible, he can take the lead in power.
This is a race... Griffith rubbed his forehead to drive away the bitterness of fatigue.
"My situation is not safe, Amber," Griffith said. "Commodus may also send assassins, and I need your help."
"Put it on me!" Miss Investigator clenched her fist, "Even though you are tall and big, you are actually not strong enough to bear beatings. If you are in danger, just leave it to me!"
This is the most desolate and dangerous place in the civilized world. But Amber is still very relaxed and not afraid of anything. As long as Griffith doesn't interrupt, she seems to have endless things to say:
"The Senate has been chasing the Kingslayer, and those who come here are the best troops, the most capable team of Beyonders. Even the princess from the south is here!
"However, Commodus is also very powerful. He has a holy sword and an entire army. He doesn't know how to get the support of trolls, and even enslaved many giant beasts. There is a dragon-like monster on the treetops.
, the appearance of the giant beast we call the primitive mutant dragon on the opposite side is really heart-wrenching.
"The demigods of the Arcane Council were sitting in the back and were unwilling to take risks. The important task of fighting against the Kingslayer was given to Erza. The advance team led by her found a lost temple under the guidance of Lord Seer.
It is said to contain the secrets of many trolls and alien gods, vital to Commodus. We must occupy that first."
"It's too risky. She should join me first, then we will have a two-on-one advantage," Griffith commented with a hint of complaint, "How is Erza's condition? Is she out of control or not?"
Stable situation?”
"I only know that she is in the process of being promoted to Sequence 5," Amber replied. "The secrets in the temple are exactly what she needs urgently. With stronger power, she can defeat the Kingslayer and crush all his conspiracies.
!”
The girl slapped her palms, as if Commodus' life was pinched there.
It would be great if there was only Commodus' conspiracy... Griffith forced a smile: "So, did Erza's promotion go smoothly?"
"I don't know~" Amber answered honestly, "She went into the depths of the temple alone and didn't let us follow, saying it was part of the ritual. Then, she didn't come out."
"..." Griffith was shocked, "Then have you sent support?"
"Yes, Alandel took her marines to support, but Commodus was also blocked in the temple. The headquarters was preparing to organize another extraordinary commando team to enter the temple and completely attack it.
Retreat the enemy and open up contacts."
The two of them were getting closer and closer to the frontline headquarters.
Arriving here, Griffith could already see the battle on land.
Commodus's army came from the south, including traditional legionnaires, as well as many new troops armed with muskets and cannons. His auxiliary army was troll warriors equipped with sharp spears and spears. In the past, these troops fought against humans to the death.
The warriors followed the heavily armored and fanged giant beasts, constantly attacking Beyelan's defense line.
The army on Beyelan's side includes regular legions directly under it, as well as auxiliary infantry and artillery sent from the southern border for support, as well as garrison mages drawn by Beyelan from the entire province and local Beyonder squads led by each of them.
Extraordinary ones brought in.
The navy also sent several inland river gunboats. However, because the shoals and reefs in the river would bring great danger to the fleet, the warships could only provide support from a distance and never engage in close combat close to the shore.
Finally, the frontline headquarters arrived.
Griffith was the first to jump out of the punt and quickly came to the tent.
As soon as he entered, he found that the place was filled with officers, wizards and extraordinary people of all sizes. They surrounded Princess Mirantis, with maps and mountains of documents, and everyone looked very busy.
Although Griffith wore the rank of flag captain, no one present noticed him and no one stood up to salute.
Beyeland was fighting two powerful enemies in the north and south at the same time. There was no room for failure on every battlefield. However, the temporarily established southern army group was composed of so many combat units from completely different departments that were unfamiliar with each other. Coordination
It became extremely difficult.
Judging from the situation at the scene, Beyeran had a strong army and Beyonders, but it was not well organized, and was even a little embarrassed under the pressure of Commodus.
This is why the Earl of Chalon and other senators insisted on sending Griffith to support this place - there must be a powerful enough frontline commander to reverse the passive battle situation.
"They were like that a few days ago," Amber made a face at Griffith, "I came to say hello."
She clenched her hands into fists and hammered them together with adamantine gloves.
"Captain Griffith de Ravenel has arrived."
An arc of electricity flashed in the camp. The officers who were concentrating on their work thought they had been attacked and jumped up in fright. They were stunned for a moment, and when they saw Amber obediently retreat to Griffith's side, they understood what had happened and started talking.
Stand at attention with your chest raised, your right hand beating your chest, and saluting Griffith.
"Victory to Beyeland!"
There were no demigods from the Arcane Council among those present...
"Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies," Griffith felt something was wrong and raised his arm, "Victory belongs to Beyeland."
Princess Diana de Mirantis was sitting behind a small desk signing various documents. The siege by the officers eased a bit, and she could finally take a breath and wave her quill in welcome to the visiting knight.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel that this was not appropriate, so she stood up and gave him a beautiful curtsy.
With just one look and a subtle smile from her, the officers and nobles around her quickly backed away. The princess led Griffith to the quiet room next to the war room and closed the door.
"You are finally here!" There was no one else around, and Miss Mirantis breathed a sigh of relief. "There are some things I must tell you in private!"
"Please tell me." Griffith also knew that time was precious and did not dare to delay for a moment.
"Commodus discovered here some kind of mystery left by the ancient gods, which is in the temple. If he can activate it, it will create amazing terror!
"Erza took one step ahead of schedule and ruined his plan, but also put herself in danger.
"Someone will come with a formal order in a moment... This order is given directly to you~"
The princess spoke quickly, and it was obvious that she already knew something extremely important in advance. She walked briskly, raised her hand to press Griffith's shoulder, and whispered in his ear:
"A paranormal commando team will be given to you to command, apparently...
"Their real purpose is to besiege you after entering the temple."
Griffith was startled. He had already prepared for the danger he was about to face, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"Not only you, but also Erza," the princess continued, "The order received by the Super Commando is——
"Drive all the hands of gods into the depths of the temple and sacrifice them to the demigods."
