Loyal Saint Jedworth, in the original history known to Danmaku, she was the first saint to betray the Ascension Fortress.
It is quite ironic to say that Saint Jieju, who was known as loyal, betrayed Gristia after a long period of persuasion to no avail. This shows how bad the eldest daughter's governance skills are.
Due to Gristia's "outstanding" training, most of the high-level birdmen who were promoted to the fortress had a single mind, and it was difficult to change their minds about things they had already decided.
It is understandable that the pure Saint Jervisi Verne, who cannot accept the double standard of Gristia, fell to heaven. Devos's betrayal without warning is indeed worth exploring in depth. Maybe the thread that solves the situation lies with her.
Sarlayan raised his eyes and looked at the heavily guarded Heroes' Sleep: "Oni, do you have any suggestions?"
Onyxia held her chin with one hand and thought for a while: "For the rebels who are eager to reform the inhumane rules of the Ascension Fortress, the fact that they are about to attack the Bliss Castle will allow them to see the possibility of their ideal success. Now they will definitely It will be very exciting.”
"When people focus their energy on a certain point in front of them, it is easy to relax their guard against the rear."
Onyxia smiled meaningfully: "The rebels advanced from the Summit of Purity in the southeast of Ascension Fortress and the Loyalty Fortress in the northwest. They did not officially merge until the Heroes' Rest."
"With the external channels now completely closed, it is impossible for De Vos and Vessey Furniture to guess that uninvited guests would appear in their respective rear areas, and the defense of the captured rear areas will definitely be relaxed."
"We can take this opportunity to disguise ourselves, sneak into the Heroes' Sleep from the rear of the rebels, and investigate the whole story of DeVos's fall to the sky at close range."
Onyxia pointed at the dragon wings that had not yet been retracted behind Sarlayan and Stellagosa.
"Little Star cast illusion spells on the four of us respectively. The three of us spread our dragon wings and disguise ourselves as Forsworn with wings on our backs. Valeela can pretend to be a candidate to serve us."
"Hmm..." Sarlayan thought for a moment: "It should be feasible. With the rebels tightly blocking the road to Bliss Castle, I can't think of a better way for a while, so let's leave it at that."
"etc."
Valeela, who was gradually recovering, said with a dissatisfied look on her face: "Why can you all fly, but I am the only one who has to pretend to be a candidate for floor flow?"
Onyxia spread her hands in a joking manner: "What else? All three of us have wings, so there is no pressure to pretend to be Kyrian. If you want to blame it, I blame myself for being born into the wrong race."
Valeera narrowed her eyes and stared at Onyxia: "What? You want to exclude me based on racial differences? It's not that easy!"
Sareiyan pretended not to understand Valeera's pun, and turned to look at Stellagosa who had an inexplicable smile on her face.
"Stella, can you do it?"
Little Xingxing nodded confidently without hesitation: "Illusions of this level are not difficult at all. As long as we are not directly swept away by dispelling spells, no one will recognize our true form."
Sarlayan solemnly ordered: "Okay, let's start casting the spell, and pay attention to adjusting the skin color and wing color."
"No problem, leave it to me."
…
Because of Gristia's strict management, even though the fallen rebels had already reached the gates of Elysian Castle, the soldiers still maintained strong discipline and did not hold a celebration party with champagne open at half time.
The terrain of Promotion Fortress is not very undulating. Many places are boundless plains. In addition, there are some valleys and hills with small height differences.
Heroes' Rest is located right in the center of Ascension Bastion, one of the most important Kyrian strongholds outside of Elysium Hold.
It can be said that after taking the Hero's Rest, the rebels are equivalent to approaching the city, and there will no longer be any danger on the road to the Bliss Castle.
The regular army of Shengjiang Fortress, which had been retreating all the way, retreated across the board, shrinking all existing forces back to Paradise Fort.
This can at least prevent the enemy from relying on numerical superiority to push forward, and effectively reduce the defensive pressure on Bliss Castle.
There are only two intelligent races in the Ascension Bastion, namely the Kyrians and the Deacons.
Among them, the deacons are responsible for all kinds of logistical work of the promotion fortress and usually do not directly participate in the battle.
Kyrians are roughly divided into two categories, one is the official Kyrians who have obtained wings through trials, and the other is Kyrian candidates who are still undergoing tests.
There is no doubt that the number of candidates is far more than the full-time Gryen. Candidates need to undergo a number of rigorous trials to qualify for promotion and properly cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.
As the grassroots level of the promotion fortress that is most restricted by rules, most candidates are unwilling to have their precious memories of their lives washed away.
With two saints shouting reform slogans from the front, the candidates naturally took the opportunity to stand up and speak out for themselves.
This also resulted in the number of candidates for the rebels being far higher than the official promotion to the fortress. It was normal that the small number of elite combat forces such as the full-time Gryen could not withstand the onslaught of the torrent of human flesh.
If an air battle breaks out near the suspended Bliss Castle, the wingless candidates will not be able to help, and the rebels' original numerical advantage will be evened, or even surpassed by a margin.
It was with this in mind that DeVos and Vessey Furniture delayed launching an offensive.
"To be precise..."
Valeera, who disappeared after sneaking into the Hero's Sleep, suddenly appeared next to the three of Sarlayan.
"The one who doesn't want to attack rashly is the pure Saint Jervi Siferne. She hopes to lure the army of Bliss Castle out to fight, so that the rebels' numerical advantage can be maximized."
"And Devos behaved very radically. She clamored to gather all the Winged Forsworn to attack the Bliss Castle in one go. The longer the delay, the greater the changes."
Even if DeVos and Visifurne could defeat the Three Saints by tying them together, they were by no means a match for Gristea herself.
The original intention of Visifurne's fall to heaven was just to make Gristea, who was stubborn and liked to set up memorial arches, give up her double standards and tell everyone in detail the criteria and reasons for the priority selection of souls in the Shadow Realm.
As long as she can force Gristea to show up and take action herself, Visiphone believes that her goal has been achieved.
And DeVos…
Returning to the cabin assigned to the four-person team by the rebels, Valeera revealed in the Soul Link channel: "There is indeed someone behind DeVos, a female Forsworn with an unsightly appearance. She has been hiding behind the scenes for DeVos. Si gives advice."
"If Visifurne just wants to force Gristia to make concessions, DeVos and the people behind her are not that pure."
"If that woman is really an inside agent bribed by the warden, then...their ultimate goal will be obvious."
Sarlayan nodded solemnly: "The covenant mark of the Ascension Fortress, but that thing is kept in the hands of Gristia. Are these rebels confident that they can defeat the Eternal One?"
Valeela shrugged noncommittally: "Who knows, looking at DeVos's solemn attitude, maybe there is really some back-up plan."
Don't look at the comments jokingly calling Gristia a noob, but no matter what, she is a member of the Eternals, and her strength is a level higher than that of the demigod Saint.
When Anduin, the little lion, hurt her, it was actually the warden who used the power imparted by the Sword of Sorrow to fight behind her, and it was only by surprise that Gristia suffered a big loss.
Without being able to capture Gristia, all plans are just empty talk.
Sarlayan didn't think the warden would do such an uncertain thing. The guy must have some trump card in his hand.
Under the current circumstances, the rebels are still very powerful, but the two saints who hold the highest authority in the army have differences on how to attack Fort Bliss. They don't know when this hidden danger will break out.
DeVos's overly aggressive attitude made Valeela keenly aware that something was wrong. She...or the person behind her seemed to be in a hurry and wanted to hurry up.
"Are you in a hurry...?"
Sarlayan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of understanding suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"I see. It seems that Zoval is anxious to complete his plan before reinforcements from other countries arrive. He will not allow anyone to stand in the way of realizing his ideals."
"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid DeVos will soon take action against Vessey Furniture, who has been fighting against me."
"And this is an opportunity for us to break the game."
