The Seyin River, which flows from south to north, has two sources. The White Saiyin River originates from the tropical mountains in the south, flows through the large lake areas such as Geb Lake and Kioga Lake, and then goes north through the jungle. Another source is in the Atum Highlands with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. It is called Qingsaiyin 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 has been transmitted to hundreds of people. Meters away, it roars into the vast grassland and meets the calm Bai Saiyin River to form the main stream of Saiyin.
The rich towns are like pearls dotted on the blue and white ribbon. They are Aswan, Erephon, Thebes, Abai, Medum, Memphis and Heliopolis. At the mouth of the northernmost delta of the Sein River, there is Karolun, the largest city and port in the southern province of Beyeland.
The river's tributaries also extend into the Sarnas crater, bringing abundant water sources, flora and fauna. This basin is located in the south of Baimon Province, east of the vast Sea of Xagai, and is surrounded on all sides by dangerous and sharp peaks. 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 hot springs coming out of the ground can even steam people instantly.
Griffith, accompanied by Amber, took a flat-bottomed boat to the forward headquarters.
A large number of outposts and camps have been established in this area. Although the river is full of shoals and swamps, steam flat-bottomed boats can still carry goods and troops into the basin through the tributaries of the Sein 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 Bijaland, and years of exploration and invasion have only revealed a corner of the mysterious rainforest. The Count and Countess of Larmour also took adventures here when they were young, and seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
Griffith was full of worries. 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 suddenly felt that the person in front of her was not a familiar friend, but the incarnation of a certain era and spirit. It seems that as long as he appears here and makes judgments, all this will be true and beyond doubt.
"Commander, be careful!"
The Marines on the flatboat suddenly shouted. Amber quickly pulled Griffith's arm and leaned over to hide. A scream then 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 at the pterosaurs that had just passed the flat-bottomed boat. If the action just now was half a beat slower, Griffith might have been knocked over into the river.
The hot and humid climate and vegetation of the crater attract giant beasts to live there. Among the giant trees and canyons roam primitive dragons that are extremely rare in other places in 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," Miss Investigator helped the knight up and praised him, "Listening to you talking, I feel like the reality has become a little bit heightened."
"This is not the judgment of God's hand." Griffith smiled.
"what is that?"
"It's technology," Griffith said. "We drained the swamps, sailed through the rainforest, drove away the giant beasts with gunpowder and cannon. 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 are the remnants of the ancient troll empire and the guardians of the Holy Land. City walls more than 100 meters high stand on cliffs and hillsides. Huge boulder ruins are hidden deep in dense forests. The majestic stone steps are so long that there is no end in sight. They are still stable after a long period of 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 would not understand the situation, so she explained specifically, "Arandel and her land warships team member
We are helping us establish routes deep into the temple area to bring in cannon and explosives. "
"went well?"
"It was going smoothly, 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 lines to use his latest powers against the Confederate army.
Tarkin, one of the Hands of God, was delayed in Canaan. He has a terrifying colossus and the full assistance of the upper elves. It is naturally easy to repel Harandil and the Canaanite rebels. However, it is not something that Tarkin can do in a short time to collect all the rebels from the sewers and eliminate them. Arrived.
Galadia also found amazing secrets underground in the Nebula Temple, and needed time to interpret the Yinluvash Oracle and take action. However, she is still not sure what the secret is and how to act...
The battle situation in the north has now entered a delicate and dangerous balance. Half of the God's 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 exhaustion.
"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 look tall and big, you actually can't stand being beaten. If you're in danger, just leave it to me!"
This is the most desolate and dangerous place in the civilized world. But Amber is still relaxed and not afraid of anything. As long as Griffith doesn't interrupt, she seems to have endless words 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 southern border is here!….
"But Commodus is also very powerful. He has a holy sword and an entire army. He uses some method to get support from trolls, and even enslaves many giant beasts. There is a dragon-like monster over there in 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, so 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 hold many secrets of 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 plots. !」
The girl slapped her palms, as if she was holding Commodus' life 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 entered 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 connections."
The two of them were getting closer to the frontline headquarters.
By now, Griffith could already see the battle on land.
Commodus
The army came from the south, including traditional legionnaires and many new troops armed with muskets and cannons. His auxiliaries are troll warriors armed with sharp spears and spears. These warriors who used to fight to the death with humans followed the giant beasts with heavy armor and fangs, 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 the local Beyonder teams they lead. Extraordinary being transferred.
The navy also sent several 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 camp.
As soon as he entered, he found that the place was filled with officers, wizards and extraordinary people of all sizes. They surrounded Princess Mirantes, maps and mountains of papers, and everyone looked 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 who were unfamiliar with each other. It was difficult to coordinate It became extremely difficult. ….
Judging from the situation at the scene, Bayeran had a strong army and Beyonders, but it was not well organized. It was even a little embarrassed under the pressure of Commodus.
This is why the Earl of Chalon and other senators insist on sending Griffith to support here - 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 hi."
She clenched her hands into fists and hammered her adamantine gloves together.
"Captain Griffith de Ravenel has arrived."
An arc of electricity flashed in the tent. The officers who were concentrating on their work thought they were being attacked and jumped up in fright. They were stunned for a moment, and when they saw Amber obediently retreat to Griffith's side, they realized what had happened. They all stood upright, beat their chests with their right hands, and saluted Griffith.
"Victory to Beyelan!"
There were no demigods from the Arcane Council among those present...
"Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies," Griffiths felt something was wrong and raised his arm, "Victory goes to Beyeland."
Princess Diana de Mirantis was sitting behind a small desk signing various documents. The siege by the officers eased a little. She could finally take a breath and shook her quill to welcome the visiting knight.
Suddenly, as if this seemed inappropriate, 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're finally here!" No one else was 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 some kind of mystery left by the ancient gods here. It's in the temple. If he can activate it, it will create amazing terror!
"Erza acted one step ahead, ruining his plan, but also putting herself in danger.
"Someone will come with a formal order in a moment... This order is given directly to you~"
The princess spoke very quickly, and it was obvious that she already knew something extremely important in advance. She walked briskly, raised her hand and pressed Griffith's shoulder, and whispered in his ear:
"A paranormal commando team will be placed under your command, ostensibly...
"Their real purpose is to besiege you after entering the temple."
Griffith was startled. He was 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."
