After Rogge arrived at Fort Huosilan, he and Ofina split up. He went to find the Wolf Spider, and Ofina went to buy supplies and materials.
Under the surprised gazes of Wolf Spider and Yanhuo Troop sisters, Ofina piled enough materials to build more than a hundred bunkers in the camp.
The materials include masonry, steel, crossbows, and even a few thunder cannons imported from the dwarves of the Holy Peak!
"Brother, is this enough?" Ofina said proudly with her hands on her hips.
"That's enough. Nana, you didn't go to the munitions warehouse to grab it, right?" The city defense equipment such as crossbows and thunder cannons are not available on the market. Rogge looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was pounding in his heart.
"Of course not, I asked Lao Cha for it!"
"Lao Cha...ah no, Emperor Charles gave it to you?"
"Uh-huh, I told him that if he didn't give it, I would play the recording of him spitting out the fragrance in every city. Then Lao Cha was very good and polite, and asked me several times if it was enough. "
"...You also recorded?"
"It's easy." Ofina waved her hand, "I make a lot of stuff, it would be a pity not to find a chance to use it."
"strong."
Rogge was thinking, Lao Cha would have regretted not handing Nana over to Julius...
Suddenly the emperor's shouts came from the distance:
"Gruul! Get out and die! I [silence] yours. Want to destroy my empire? I will kill you first to sacrifice the flag! [silence] [silence]..."
It seems that Lao Cha was indeed very angry and ran to fight with Gruul to vent his anger. Are you not afraid of bad effects just by saying curse words?
Just as he was thinking about it, Huo Xilan Fort burst out with shouts of charge. The soldiers looked into the distance with admiration, their eyes blazing and full of fighting spirit.
Well, scolding an orc doesn't count as scolding.
Bella carefully touched the barrel of the Thunder Cannon and asked doubtfully: "Count Rogge, this is..."
"Oh, this is the material for you to use to transform the tarantula. Whether to transform it into an indestructible mobile fortress, or transform it into an invincible steel behemoth, it's up to you."
When the sisters heard this, their eyes lit up and they were eager to get started.
"These materials are so heavy, can the big spiders do it?" Bella hesitated.
"It's okay, they are very strong, not to mention you are very light."
When he reached "very light", Rogge glanced at Bonian. The big spider shrank his neck, but still had a smile on his lips.
"We must live up to the Earl's trust! Girls, take action!"
"yes!"
Bella waved her hand, and the Yanhuo troops quickly formed a team of five people to choose their favorite pets... ah no, partner.
"Bonian, Wolf Spider is temporarily at the disposal of the Knights of the Sun. You directly follow Filia's orders."
"yes!"
The sisters are very mobile and have already begun to modify their new mounts. Judging from the smiles on their faces, they seem to be quite satisfied with the arrangement of merging the troops.
Rogge felt relieved and left with Ofina.
…
It was already night when we returned to Hofla Castle, and Filia happened to step into the Lord's Mansion with Rogge.
She had a tired look on her face, and her slightly furrowed eyebrows showed her inner worry.
Rogge took Filia's waist and pressed her on the chair. He came behind and rubbed her shoulders, "Have you had a meeting?"
"Um."
"how?"
"Not too optimistic. The orcs are all in arms, and the number of goblins is terrifyingly large. There are also giants and many kinds of giant beasts. If they attack without any scruples, it will be difficult to resist."
"They also have strange demons to help."
"Did Thea discover the Gate of Holy Descending?" Filia was busy and didn't know the information Rogge had obtained.
"Yes..." Rogge told her the information about Thea, the situation on Helena's side, and his own actions.
Filia listened quietly and sighed, "Looking at it from this point of view, this battle will be even harder to win."
"Well, but before the Gate of Holy Descending fully connected the two worlds, only some powerful alien demons invaded, which had limited effect on large-scale wars. The trouble is whether the alien demons will provide other help to the Orc Alliance. For example, the technology and tactics of the Red Abyss world, etc.”
"There will definitely be one. We can only make more preparations and use them as soon as possible." Filia closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage, "So your idea of combining the Wolf Spider and Yanhuo troops is a good one, and the troops you choose are good, Yanhuo Fire is indeed the best."
Rogge laughed, but did not tell her about the lustful tarantula.
Filia enjoyed it in silence for a while, then took Rogge's hand, stood up and looked at him, and asked: "You hand over the Wolf Spider Army to me, what are you going to do?"
Rogge smiled and said, "Sure enough, you still noticed it."
"Of course, come on, where are you going? Don't tell me you're going to Cartagena to find Thea, you're going to die."
Rogge shook his head, "I'm not that stupid. I can't do anything like a moth flying into a flame."
"Then where are you going? Tell me your plan, otherwise don't even think about leaving me."
"I will wait until the battle begins to enter the territory of the Orcs Lianmei, intercept supplies, burn camps, destroy cities, and make the water as muddy as possible."
"Are you trying to attract strong people to share the pressure for Thea?"
"Well, the demon hunter organization is mobilizing the power of the entire world. Thea and the others are isolated and have little hope of survival. I don't want them to die."
"But what if the orcs and strange demons are desperate and ignore you?"
"I will carefully select targets and attack them to save them. There will be a way."
Filia stared at Rogge's eyes for a while, confirmed the determination in them, bit her lip, and hugged him: "I..."
"I know." Rogge stroked the soft hair of the girl in his arms, "You are the core general of the empire and cannot leave. Moreover, if you stay, it will be of greater benefit to this battle. It doesn't matter, the two of us will be on both battlefields. successful."
When he was doing the spirit beast test in the Soul Summoning Holy Kingdom, Rogge asked Philia the same question that the Star Yaolong asked when he tested him:
"Your friends can no longer hold on, and people in the imperial city are also being slaughtered by dragons. You now have the power to change everything, but you can only choose one of the two sides, and everyone on the other side will die. What will you choose? ?”
Filia's answer at the time was: "I will choose to save everyone in the city, then avenge you, commit suicide to see you."
In her heart, Rogge was important, her partners were important, but the empire and its people were more important.
Her sword will be wielded for Rogge, for her partners, and even more for the empire and people!
What's more, this battle is not only related to the safety of the empire, but also related to the fate of the whole world. She must be in the most suitable position.
Philiya is such a person, a righteous, noble and considerate person.
Where's Roger? He hopes that the world will be safe, and he also hopes that the people around him will be safe.
Rogge patted Filia gently on the back and said: "Filia, whether it is to save Thea or for reasons that are beneficial to the battle, such a force is needed. It is most appropriate for me to go."
"That's right." Filia's voice was very soft, "The strength of this team cannot be strong enough to alarm the top experts, and the commander must have an excellent military mind. You, who are calm and cautious, are indeed the most suitable."
"But Rogge, there are millions of enemies. You are deep in the territory of the Orcs and you are isolated and helpless. You are no more dangerous than Thea. I... don't want you to be so dangerous."
"In a war, who is not in danger? I want to do this, not only for Thea, but also for myself."
The two hugged each other and were silent for a long time. Filia left Rogge's arms and looked into his eyes with a smile.
"Go ahead."
"Um."
…
Filia rested for an hour, had dinner cooked by Rogge, and went to the meeting overnight.
The country's troops are about to rush to the front line. Without careful overall planning, no matter how elite they are, they will be in a mess and unable to form combat power.
There are too many things that need to be determined, from macroscopic aspects such as defensive expectations and how to set up strategic depth, to fine-grained aspects such as the defensive position of each unit, whether the cooperation between adjacent departments is good or bad, etc.
There are also logistical issues such as grain, grass, weapons, arrows, medicine, and defense equipment, which are also very critical.
The generals had almost no time to rest. Filia could come out because she missed Rogge too much.
Rogge did not help Filia. Strictly speaking, although he was an honorary earl, he was not an imperial soldier.
He went to the Adventurers Association's tavern and found Loria and his party.
"Eager fighter" Alva greeted enthusiastically: "Captain! You are here, sit down quickly! Tell us what is in the space barrier."
Rogge sat down, but before he spoke, Luoriya asked first: "Rogge, there is a military commission from the empire in the association, and the reward is very high. Is the war about to begin?"
"Yes." Rogge nodded, "This will be an unprecedented battle."
"Does our group accept the commission?"
"I came to you just to discuss this matter with you." Rogge said seriously, "War is cruel, are you afraid?"
Luoriya smiled, "I'm not afraid, what about you?"
"Don't be afraid!" Fiennes shouted.
"Of course I'm not afraid," Alvarez said calmly.
"I'm afraid..." Renata raised her hand weakly, "But I won't be separated from everyone."
"Captain, do we accept the commission or not?" Renata asked.
"You're stupid. The leader asked us if we were afraid, so we must have accepted it." Alvarez said.
"I'll do it later." Luoriya said, "I received your letter. There are people at the entrance of the barrier. When new friends come out, they will come to Hofla Fort to find us."
"Well, take a good rest these days and refresh yourself. There will be less time to rest in the future."
"knew."
Ofina next to her slapped the table and said boldly: "Let's eat now, I'm really treating you!"
The dull atmosphere in the tavern was swept away and instantly filled with laughter and laughter.
…
At noon the next day, Roger received another communication from Thea.
Roger told Thea what he said to Helena.
"Ning Bing? I haven't seen her for a long time."
"who is she?"
"An ice elf has a cold body but a warm heart."
"Will the organization support you?"
"I'm afraid I can't spare the manpower, and so will you. There are as many as a dozen rifts in the alien world. If all the forces are unwilling to contribute, they will have to be organized to deal with them."
"You... can you hold on?"
"Try your best."
"You must hold on, I will find a way."
"Roger, don't come here." Thea warned in a cold tone.
"I won't go there. Hold on, I have a way."
Thea was silent for a while and cut off the communication.
Cui Yu, who was usually cheerful, became worried and shook her head.
