Seeing that his boss was a little moved by his opinion, Kalann further said:

"The information given to me by the human race says that the million army of the undead army is heading south, but until our army appears here, we have not seen the so-called white army!"

He lowered his eyelids and pondered, "You're right, no human nobles would dare to joke about such a thing, so... Is there such a possibility? Human intelligence... Actually, it's accurate, but the million-strong army of the Undead Legion is not going south against us, but in a huge 'war for power'. ”

Kalann's speculation about the outbreak of a civil war in the undead army is not without reason, first of all, all historical documents record the murderous and crazy character of the undead army, and every time the undead army descends on the continent of Ailan, several civil wars will break out within it. Secondly, this time the undead legion was raging, and a civil war broke out between several necromancers in the Twak Heights. Similarly, while the army of the Kingdom of Krulria was attacking the Fortress of Death, didn't the undead legions of Tyre also sell Muvet?

"The undead will not start a civil war because of power, they will only fight for resources and survival. Aetiyah subconsciously corrected, and then asked, "Why did 200,000 troops suddenly attack our station?" he was not only asking Kalan, but also himself.

"In case we find out about their civil war?, trying to stall for time?" Kalann seemed to ask himself, "or is it a necromancer or general who is using our hands to destroy his enemies?"

"If that's the case," Karanna had an uncontrollable smile on his face, "maybe this is really our chance, maybe... The war will soon be over. ”

"In the current situation, it's better not to speculate on that for the time being. Aethia suppressed the excitement in her heart, "But... But you can give it a try. She took a deep breath and looked at the herald, "Order Gnorek to send two outpost troops to support Ariye's department, and continue to advance tentatively after repelling the undead army ahead." ”

...

Sook City,

The shadow of war had left the city for more than a month, and thanks to the efforts of the police and the Provisional Government for a month, order was gradually restored to the city, and the citizens were gaining confidence in their new ruler.

Lion Castle, a symbol of human civilization.

Both the nobles of the Kingdom of Kruria and the nobles of the Suker Plains proposed to change the name of the castle to herald that a new ruler of the human world had arrived. But Pedy, like his sister Penny, did not agree to the ministers' suggestion. However, he could not resist the advice of the ministers, and changed his place of office and rest to the Lion Castle.

In the King's office, Pedi was consulting with the Chief of Staff of the Coalition Forces, Bowenley, about the northern part of the Sook Plain. There, the nobles of Hatis Town have been at war with the undead legion for almost a month.

"The expansion of the Undead Legion in this region has now stabilized. Bowenwright pointed to the northern village of Hattis and drew an area with charcoal according to the information, "Marquis Fipert-Bob promised to solve the problem here within a month. ”

Pedi was now looking through the transcript of his conversation with Bowenright and the military report from Hatis Town, "I hope Fippott didn't deceive me this time, otherwise I wouldn't have relented." In fact, he hoped that Fipert would not be able to exterminate the Undead Legion, so that there would be an excuse to meddle in the town of Hatis .

"If you're going to do something to Hattistown, there's no shortage of excuses. Bowenright wasn't joking, and he didn't like to joke, "I'm more than happy to help you." He was a little uncomfortable with the hasty conclusion of the Battle of Tyre, and he hated people like Fippert from the bottom of his heart, and he rarely hated a person so much.

"I don't have time to focus on Hades right now, I'm going to be busy for a long time to come, so... For the sake of the stability of the rear, I still don't want to poke this honeycomb. Pedi shook his head, he didn't like Fipert either, but he didn't take Hadestown's problems to heart.

"However, you remember to inform the people in the military intelligence department to keep an eye on the situation in the north, the best thing the nobles do is to lie about the results of the battle, I don't want to fight the undead army in the front, and suddenly a large monster army will appear behind the rear. Pedi spoke in a serious tone, and when he spoke, he specially reminded the clerk not to omit his words.

"I'll personally arrange for the Overseer to be stationed in Hattis Town. Bowenwright looked more nervous than the King.

"You've always been so reliable, Sir. Pedi patted the old nobleman on the shoulder, "How are the coalition forces repairing in the eastern camp of Fort Norma?"

"Muskets have been equipped with various army groups, but the magic guide protection device is too complicated to make and consumed during the training process, so far only one army group has been equipped. Bowenwright replied quickly, "The armies are training for muskets. He paused for half a beat as he said this, "Your Majesty, are you going to give up on longbow training and completely switch to musket rigging troops?"

The training of longbowmen handed down from the Crane Territory has matured over the past hundred years, but the training of a qualified longbowman is too time-consuming. Moreover, the longbow throwing is very physically demanding, and usually the longbow bearer has to rest for ten minutes after three consecutive shots.

"Nowadays, even magic archers have abandoned bows and arrows in favor of muskets. Bowenwright looked worried, "Your Majesty, as of yesterday's statistics, our soldiers have been injured by more than two thousand due to muskets, this is a very dangerous weapon, our military muskets are fired with magic energy ignition, but they can also be fired with a simple ignition device, I'm worried..."

"The training of archers cannot be stopped at the moment, and our current knowledge is not enough to abandon it. Pedi first replied in the affirmative to Bowenley's first concern, "As for the danger of muskets... The police have long mentioned this, as improvised muskets are already circulating on the black market, and the Prime Minister's Government has recently issued a report detailing the dangers caused by veterans bringing back musket-making techniques after the war has ended. ”

"Looks like I'm worried. Bowenwright smiled self-deprecatingly.

Pedi gave Bowen Wright a serious look, in his cognition, Bowen Wright would never care about things outside of his duties for no reason.

"The joint laboratory promised us to improve the safety of the musket, but so far nothing has come from it. Bowenwright looked at the king, "Before the war began, our attrition has reached half a corps, and I am afraid that once the war begins, there will be more accidental injuries." ”

"Do you have any good advice?" said Pedy, who was also troubled by the accidental injury of the musket so far.

At present, military muskets rely on magic ignition, and in order to allow ordinary soldiers to better trigger the magic circle, the joint laboratory deliberately set this magic circle to be very fragile, but it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to control their mental power as accurately as mages, which causes many misfires and accidental injuries.

"It is simply unrealistic for the whole army to be equipped with muskets, which not only wastes resources, but also increases the logistical pressure, and the accidental wounding of half of the corps and the death of nearly 100 people make the soldiers begin to fear the use of muskets. "At first, we were able to suppress the incidents, but as the incidents increased..."

Bowenley's tone was tactful, and he was well aware that the musket had a high status in the king's heart.

"So... Do you have any good advice?" asked Pedi again, in a more serious tone than before.

"I think lowering the quota of muskets is the best thing to do, and the soldiers have been afraid of using muskets lately, and the timing is just right. Bowenright instinctively lowered his head as he finished speaking.

Pedi frowned, rubbed his temples lightly with a headache, he wasn't against Bowenley's suggestion, it was just that he didn't expect the whole army to be rationed with muskets so troublesome.

"You are in charge of the training of the army, you can do it. Pedi didn't think about it for long, "but the musket ration must not be less than one army group." ”

"Yes!" Bowenwright breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the latest news from the MIA?" Because there have been so many things in Suke City recently, Peidi didn't have time to deal with the affairs of the MIA himself, so he entrusted Bowen Wright with full authority.

"It's not a big deal, and now the situation everywhere is like a beautiful sea. ”

"But the sea can set off a giant wolf at any time. Pei Di subconsciously said and asked, "How is the war in Felder's territory?"

"The elven forces have recaptured the lost line, and on the afternoon of the 8th, the news came that the elves were tentatively attacking the outer line of Berdingburg. Bowenwright unveiled the map of the northern theater of operations in the town of Hattis and expertly loaded the military map of the Berdingburg area.

"The news is coming at the moment that the war is going well. Bowenwright kept tracing the map with both hands, marking the battle near Potinburgh today.

"Are you sure this is information from the elves?" Pei Di furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes!" Bowenwright said in a sure tone.

"Didn't we already negotiate with the elves that we would have to hold on to the mouth of the Manwes Gorge before the allies could complete the repairs?"

"The elves didn't give an explanation, but I can understand," Bowenlet pointed to the western plains of the Esbourg Mountains, "The elves wiped out the 200,000 undead legions in the Plains War by simply damaging the Ranger troops of one outpost. He subconsciously tapped his finger on the plains marked on the map, "This is a brilliant victory... I've read the military reports from the elves, and if I were the commander of this battle, I would have commanded the army to continue north. ”

"Berdingburg is now garrisoned by a million troops. Pedi looked excited, "The place where the elves should be staying now is the mouth of the Manwis Canyon, not attacking Berdingburg!"

"The elves' military reports show that neither in the Plains War nor in the south of Potinburgh have found the army of a million monsters mentioned in our intelligence. Bowenright tilted his head sideways and looked cautiously at the king, "They suspect that the information we have given is wrong. ”

"Wrong information?" Pei Di fell silent for a moment, but his silence didn't last long, "This thing is strange. ”

Bowenwright did not deny it, "The MI said that the magic photos they obtained came from the inside of the Undead Legion, which in itself reveals a strange ...", "In the latest information, the elves guess that there may be a large-scale civil war going on within the Undead Legion. ”

"Civil war?" Pedi subconsciously thought of the war he had just ended, "even weirder!" he stared at the location of Betinburgh on the map, "the elves must have met something here, otherwise there would be no such speculation." He muttered to himself and asked, "What does the MI say?"

"There is no more detailed information. Bowenright shook his head, "The past month has been so chaotic that the MI agents can only roam around the mouth of Manwis Canyon now. ”

"What do you think of this... Civil War, what's going on?" Peddy scratched the short beard of his jaw, pondering, and asked Bowen Wright for his opinion.

"The Undead Legion is synonymous with chaos and madness, and in the Twak Heights they can fight the civil war to the end, even against external invasions. Bowenwright said as he took out a battle report that had been prepared for a long time, "This is the battle report of the Duchy of Twak and the Kamok Khanate before they destroyed the undead legions in the Twak Heights. ”

Pedi didn't have any interest in this battle report, he waved his hand and refused to look at it while saying: "This is speculation, I don't think the elves are doing the right thing now, now is the last moment of the decisive battle, we should be more cautious about everything." ”

"They didn't see Ferrola's power at all, it was a powerful force that could control everything, and I don't think any necromancer would dare to rebel against Ferrola's rule under that power. Pedi echoed the power that came from the void during the assassination of the Eluk Lord, "According to the information provided by Muvet, Ferrola is the key point in Karen's power to lead the necromancer and undead general, and she has the ability to cut off the power of any necromancer and undead general at any time. ”

"It is simply impossible for the Undead Legion to break out into a civil war under Ferrola's rule. Pedi took a deep breath, "Muvet once said that the undead army led by Cullen has only one voice, and only one voice, and it is impossible for them to resist the will of their own gods. ”

"But the elves probably think it's a great opportunity. Bowenwright pointed to the Berdingburg area on the map, "After the capture of Berdingburg, the defenses of the undead in the south will be weakened by at least half, which will be beneficial for our future wars." ”

"So... Personally, I think such a risk is worth taking, and the war itself is a gamble. ”
