"Loper is familiar with Xia Boyang's people and has certain abilities. He can serve as our liaison."
After the show, Werner Negri took Griffith around.
Griffith waited for him for a while and found that Comrade Political Commissar seemed to be unprepared to express his opinion on whether the newly built army would oppose a lord like Griffith.
No matter, as long as the army can fight... Griffith didn't ask any questions.
Griffith did not care whether the industrialists, farmers, shipowners and civilians after victory would turn their guns on Verona's new rich if the Confederate army could really be used.
When a large army fights, the strength of an individual is very weak. Whether it's 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 campaign 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. Taking them down can completely annihilate Beyeran's heavy army group and seize the initiative 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 Bijeran'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 support him after finishing the work at hand. Where do you think the direction of the attack will be?"
The southern territories of the Odessa and Sevasto regions are joined together to form the northern shore of the Sea of Tranquility. The arc-shaped curved coast, peninsulas, and shoals are bisected by the mouth of the Tirne River. On the plain on the left bank, there is the hub city of Yamiyan where roads intersect. It is surrounded by mountains and the sea. It is the base for Bijalan to conquer the far east. It is the dividing point between desolation and civilization in this vast land.
Transportation across the Tirne River mainly relies on several river ferries. 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 traffic on the road to Sevastro, and surrounding Beyelan's assault cavalry force, the three regular regiments of the Sevastro Group scattered in Yamiyan and Turanburg, and a large number of auxiliary troops. .
Hiss, you actually want to kill the Beyelan army on the left bank of the Tierne River... Griffith glanced at Negri with a complicated mood:
"The city of Kherson at the mouth of the Tirne River is the key to Sevastro. 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 battle that breaks out there will be the decisive battle that determines the outcome of Sebasto."
Griffith calculated the power of the Senate and the Confederacy, looking down from the heights of his mind. Finally, his eyes fell on a small town east of Kherson:
"Jinge, east of the decisive battle of Kherson, is an important town where roads intersect, and the naval guns cannot support it. After capturing it, the Kherson defenders can be isolated, the support from the Odessa area can be blocked, and Yamiyan can be surrounded. "
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, with a frown on his face. They all became solemn:
"However, this place is between Yamiyan and Kherson. If the Confederate army attacks here, it will be flanked by reinforcements from the sea and the Yamiyan cluster.
"If you are not careful, your army will be wiped out."
Roland's strategy is too bold.
He now chooses to show his cards, almost gambling with the fate of the Confederacy, facing the solid fortress, the prestigious army and the most powerful demigod, letting the terrifying force that makes 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 is 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:
"Flag Captain, do we really want to accept these traitors?
"They fought against us, 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, unknowingly revealing a vast hall filled with fog.
The hermit's unsightly figure had not yet appeared, and Griffith's eyes immediately turned to the position of "Miss Fengxiang" Erza.
The flamboyant and fiery breath is so familiar, but a little bit strange at the same time. The psychic energy unleashed by Naira's destruction is affecting all of the Chosen.
"I want to talk to you about something, see you later."
"Okay," Erza smiled, "I miss you too."
Miss Magician, Miss Lover and Miss Shadow Priest all focused their attention. Everyone here is actually very familiar with each other, but they are still surrounded by fog and it is difficult to identify their identities. Griffith looked at the last person whose identity could not 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 Magician stood up and curtsied to the Dark Lord. Other guests also paid their respects.
The existence of this Supreme Being is so mysterious that even after returning to reality, he remains elusive, only his aura becomes more powerful and captivating. Not much has changed about her party, though.
I can ask her for some instructions. This great being is an enemy of Beyelan, but she did not order us to assist the Confederacy. She does not seem to care about the battle in Verona, which is a bit strange... Griffith is somewhat Worrying about the Supreme Being's accusation, I didn't know what to say for a while.
Roland, a brave man who did not belong to this era, 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:
"People have their limits. The higher the mystery, the more dangerous it is.
"However, very few people can go beyond the limit. The meaning of the Chosen One's Sacrifice 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, and 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 spiritual energy, the closer the chosen person's imprint will be to the entity. The authority of 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 and the wish-making device comes. It is also the end."
Mr. Hermit is giving me a hint... Griffith thought. This information is extremely critical to Galadia, Erza, and even himself.
Someone here tried to ask for details, but the hermit gave no further hints. The party entered the communication stage.
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."
Why is Commodus going to find the troll...Wait a minute, could it be that Erza is also going to the Southern Province to perform a mission, with me... Griffith looked at the magician Miss Diana De Miranti with doubts Si, I hope she can answer.
The charming princess thought for a moment and said to everyone:
"Fragments of rumors about trolls and their gods circulate in the dark corners of the South—
"long, long ago,
"In the dense forests in the southern part of the Emon Province, a substance called the 'blood of the ancestors' grows in the ruins of an ancient troll tribe.
"Eligible people who receive the blood of the ancestors can greatly improve their physical abilities, including physical strength, strength, agility, perception and spirit, and can also extend their lifespan. However, few people can bear the accompanying poison and madness.
"The blood of the ancestors is a sacred object of the troll civilization, and kings of all generations have to accept the test of the blood of the ancestors. Some people believe that the blood of the ancestors is the authority left by an unspeakable existence that descends into reality.
"After the decline of the troll empire, the Sarnas clan was one of the most powerful troll tribes in the area, with many warriors. Their city-state 'Zudia' was built on the huge ruins of the ancient troll empire.
"The inheritance of the throne of the trolls does not rely on blood relations. They maintain the traditional election method of the primitive tribe. Once the elected leader passes the test, he will gain amazing vitality and incredible strength as well as the absolute loyalty of the clan."
Everyone at the party looked at each other. After a moment, Brunave murmured:
"Why, does the human prince still want to be my wife's chief?"
Miss Mirantis didn't know whether it was okay or not, so she continued:
“Countess Elena de La Mole of Beyeland and her friends were lucky enough to see this ceremony during an adventure, learned the myth behind it, and recorded it in its entirety.
"Deep in the city-state of Zudia, there is a garden. There is the sacred object of Zudia - the "Eternal Staircase".
"This is a living creature between plants and animals. The Deathrattle Order seems to have drawn it on its emblem. The flowers of the Eternal Staircase are highly poisonous, and only a few people who can be recognized by God can eat them. Survive.
"There is a view that this is the container of the ancestor's blood, and taking the flower is the test to choose the king.
“The Countess de Larmour had her reservations.
"Her suspicion is not unfounded. The troll throne has been vacant for decades, and the trial of the blood of the ancestors seems to have gone wrong at some root."
