Rogge and Filia scouted for a long time and finally came to a conclusion:

The outlying fortress complex of Cartagena is generally laid out.

The gaps between the fortresses of the Imperial Fortress Group are very particular, and the values ​​were obtained through strict calculations by many architectural experts and famous generals.

In a fortress group built in this way, if the crossbows, trebuchets and other defensive equipment on the fortress are placed at a certain angle, the shooting angle can be expanded to the maximum, thus increasing the collaborative defense capability.

When the orcs attack an imperial fortress, they face several fortresses around it and the firepower on the city walls. The difficulty of the attack can be imagined.

However, the fortress group outside the city wall of Cartagena has irregular gaps, different sizes and heights, and incomplete defensive equipment. Whether it is a collaborative defense capability or a single one to provide a defensive fulcrum, it is far from the imperial fortress.

In the air, Filia put her hands around Rogge's neck and said, "According to the scouts' reports, these fortresses were built overnight. It seems natural that the quality is not high."

"Well, no matter how poor the quality of the fortress is, it is still a fortress, and it is much more useful than roadblocks such as horses and traps. But this shouldn't be a problem for my General Filia, right?"

Filia smiled lightly and said: "This would waste at least half a day of my time, but what I care about is not the fortress itself, but whether there is anything hidden behind this nondescript defense method devised by the alien demon?"

Rogge nodded and said: "There will definitely be hidden places. These fortresses are probably not that simple, so pay attention when the time comes."

It is imperative to attack the city, and there is no time to test the methods of the strange demons. All Rogge and Filia can do is to be careful when attacking and try to minimize the losses.

"Where is the city wall? Is there any way?"

"Of course." Filia pointed far away, "With so many thorns, aren't they the best fulcrum for climbing? It seems that Gruul is not a very good general despite his strength."

"Indeed, the Orc Alliance and the strange demons are mainly for invasion. They probably haven't defended the city a few times before they came up with such poor defense methods."

"It's not useless. It looks quite scary. It can make the orc warriors roar louder." Filia said calmly.

The two taunted the generals of the Orc Alliance and the strange demons from a distance before returning to the camp.

As soon as Rogge landed with Filia, a group of Pegasus knights flew from the north, and the leader flew directly towards her.

"Miss!" A graceful and beautiful female knight saluted and handed over a military newspaper. "I have delivered the military newspaper. This is the reply from Emperor Charles."

Filia opened the military newspaper and read it quickly.

She handed the general report directly to Rogge and said: "Emperor Charles' troops will be in place tomorrow. He has gone to conduct reconnaissance personally and has already formulated an siege plan. The army will attack the city directly without any modifications. We will proceed simultaneously, at nine o'clock tomorrow morning , launch a general attack."

"Eleanor, inform the leader of the Fire Wing Knights to cooperate with the flying spirit beast troops to provide air support."

"Commander, please inform the generals of each army to command the camp. I want to make arrangements for the siege tomorrow."

Filia grabbed Rogge who was about to leave and uttered four words: "Rogge, stay with me."

"As ordered." Rogge smiled and held the goddess's hand, and went with her to the command camp.

This military meeting did not last long, because Filia had to set aside an entire afternoon for the generals to organize their troops.

As the top commander of the Southern Route Army, Filia's tactical arrangements do not need to be meticulous. The battlefield is ever-changing, and sometimes too detailed arrangements will restrict the performance of the generals.

She only needs to put the troops in the right position and tell the general their mission. As for how to complete it, it depends on the general's ability.

Except for Filia and Rogge, there was no one of their generation among the senior generals in the room. In terms of seniority, the two of them have to call them uncle, aunt, grandparent. Read the book

But Filia didn't have any stage fright. She gave the order in one breath without pausing, and she didn't even let go of Rogge's hand.

The two showed off their affection in front of a group of elders. Because of this, many old generals deserted at this critical meeting.

.

Facing the curious and scrutinizing gazes of the generals, Rogge could only stand upright and show off his image as a spirited young man.

Rogge arrived yesterday, and immediately he hugged and kissed Filia. He was still on a high ground, and he didn't hide from others.

Although there were vague rumors in the army that Philiya had a boyfriend before, now the news is confirmed. And thanks to the publicity of Fiennes, the "big speaker", Rogge's heroic deeds are almost unknown to everyone in the military. .

The soldiers of the Southern Route Army commented on Philiya: her beauty is extraordinary and her ability is unparalleled.

Although common, it is very relevant.

The boyfriend of such a commander who is admired by everyone will naturally become the focus. Rogge is already the object of jealousy of countless soldiers. Even if he is a hero, he cannot offset this jealousy.

The generals were naturally very concerned about this young man who had disturbed the morale of the army, so they asked him many questions during the discussion after Filia's military order was issued.

If these questions were placed on other ordinary young teenagers, they would be difficult to the point of making things difficult, but Rogge answered them clearly and clearly, even discussing the situation according to the situation, and answering based on the actual situation. His performance was perfect.

The veterans are all "knowledgeable". They knew there was nothing in their stomachs as soon as they opened their mouths. They immediately looked at Rogge with admiration and sent blessings to the two of them.

Judging from the satisfied looks in their eyes, it is estimated that if time permits, it is possible to hold a wedding on the spot.

As a few deserted veterans went to Filia to confirm the order, the meeting ended completely.

The two left the command camp and were going to find Ofina, who had probably stayed up all night, to see what magical thing the little girl had tinkered with.

As a result, before the two of them reached Ofina's temporary laboratory, they saw Fiennes, Alva, Alvarez, Renata and other members of the Roosoma adventure group covering their noses and talking to the laboratory. They kept a certain distance and discussed something passionately.

Rogge approached and asked, "What are you talking about...ahem!"

He immediately understood why everyone acted like this, he frowned and raised his hand to cover his nose, and also covered Filia behind him.

Rogge reluctantly opened his eyes and saw wisps of thick earthy smoke coming from inside the laboratory. The smell of the smoke was extremely pungent. It didn't smell like the smell of goblin stink bombs, but a kind of smell. An indescribable smell.

The smell of this thick smoke is as nauseating as the stench, but the difference is that the thick smoke can also sting your eyes.

Needless to say, this must be Ophina's "masterpiece", but it's a bit strange that the girl is not seen outside. Could it be that... she is still in the laboratory?

At this time, "Silly Bird" Renata turned around and said to Rogge with tears in her eyes: "Captain Rogge, you are here..."

"Where is Nana?" Rogge asked.

Renata pointed to the laboratory: "Nana has been in the laboratory and hasn't come out. The smoke smells so bad, I don't know if she is okay."

When Rogge heard this, he felt a little panicked.

He was actually relieved about Ofina. The girl was brave and careful, and she was also a light magician, so there shouldn't be any problems.

But the smell of the smoke was too "wonderful". What if she overturned something while making it? What accident would happen?

"I gonna go see."

Rogge handed Filia's nose to him and released the strong wind technique to blow the smoke upwards and clear a path.

"Nana? Nana..."

Before Rogge entered the laboratory, he saw a small gloved hand opening the door, and suddenly stronger yellow smoke poured out.

Everyone quickly retreated, and Rogge also shrank the range of the strong wind technique to protect himself.

"Nana, are you alive?"

"It's not dead. I accidentally blew up one of the gas bombs when I was making it. It doesn't matter. I and Sister Thea are both wearing protective clothing!"

Ofina jumped two steps forward and escaped from the thickest area of ​​the yellow smoke, and Rogge was able to see clearly what the protective clothing she was talking about was.

I saw the girl with her head and body

The whole body was wrapped in a special layer of one-piece "armor", with only two big and smart eyes showing. There were several lifelike chicken legs painted on the protective clothing, which looked like her own handwriting.

Another person wearing a protective suit walked out behind Ofina, and Roger recognized it as Thea at a glance, because even though she was wearing a protective suit, her beauty was still unstoppable.

Even through the "helmet", Rogge could still see the helpless smile on Thea's face.

Rogge clearly heard what Ofina said was that one of the "poison gas bombs" exploded while making it, so the yellow smoke was poison gas and had to be cleaned up as soon as possible.

So he mobilized his magic power, released the strong wind technique with all his strength, and flew high into the sky with the yellow smoke.

Rogge returned to the ground, and Ofina, who had taken off her protective clothing, ran over and gave him two melon-sized spheres. While releasing the holy light for everyone to disperse, she said: "Brother, this is my newly developed poison gas bomb. It’s very useful.”

Rogge's hand was shaking slightly when he took it. If one exploded in his hand, he would not be poisoned to death, but the smell... I guess he wouldn't want to hang out with a girl at night.

"Nana, what's this powerful method? What's the name of the gas bomb?" Under Ofina's expectant gaze, Rogge tried his best to play the role of praise.

"I call it 'Little Cutie No. 2!' Can you smell the smell of this poisonous gas? Isn't it unusual and unbearable? Hehehehe, this is the poisonous gas I invented specifically for dealing with orcs. The irritation they receive from the smell is Five times that of us humans! Moreover, it is poisonous and can make people weak!"

"Nana is so awesome!" Filia praised sincerely.

From Ophina's description, the "Little Cutie No. 2" gas bomb is not cute at all. For the orcs, it is fatal.

Rogge and the others found the smell of smoke pungent and nauseating. If the orcs were five times more stimulated, they would feel dizzy and dizzy. Even if it was mild, they would even be knocked out by the smoke in severe cases!

This is much more powerful than a bomb. After all, it is much simpler to release gas bombs and the smoke spreads easily. On the contrary, the Orc Alliance, which lacks wind magicians, will not be able to deal with the poisonous smoke so easily.

Rogge seemed to have seen the scene where the orc warriors quickly lost their combat effectiveness in the poisonous smoke once the poison gas bombs were released. He couldn't help but sigh that the power of arcane magic was so terrifying.

"How many gas bombs are there?" Filia asked.

"Twenty, the time is too short, and one of the main materials is obtained from the space barrier of the Illusion Divine Tree, and it is still being cultivated in the Ling Kong Ring, so I can't make much."

"It's already very good. This one can easily destroy a fortress. No..." Filia's eyes changed, and she had a new idea, "Maybe destroying the fortress is overkill, I should..."

Ofina directly interrupted Filia's thinking: "Sister, I'll think about it later, take me to see the siege equipment!"

"The siege equipment has been prepared. Nana, don't you think there is a way to strengthen the siege equipment?"

"Yes, yes. Yaoxing gave me a lot of materials yesterday. It would be a shame not to use them!"

Ofina took Filia's arm and said proudly: "I want to make the ram indestructible! Let the catapult run! Let the bed crossbow be tripled in power!"

Everyone was silent for a while, staring at Ofina in surprise.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

There was a burst of applause in the sky, Rogge looked up and saw Matilda who should have met Filia long ago.

"I encountered something interesting just after I came back. Nana, Rogge, did you miss me?"
