Section 22 Selection of the Mage's Tower

But even the 'King of Light' must be attached to your wings to survive. Omiqi saluted properly, and then said, "Therefore, strong force is indispensable for a country, you..."

Pedi interrupted the goblin engineer's compliments and said, "I will recruit all the mages and their students in the kingdom, and I will even order the relocation of the magic academy in Sekka Town to Suke City, and what I want is simple... Half a year later, I need magic muskets that can equip at least 50,000 troops, as well as a complete set of relatively complete crafting squares. ”

"If you can really muster enough magicians, you won't be a problem. ”

Omich smiled treacherously at the merchant, his large eyes narrowed into a slit that looked like a devil's smile drawn from a book.

On the evening of the 12th,

In the battle chamber of the Allied High Command in El Luk City, a fierce brawl has lasted from an hour to the present.

An hour earlier, an order from the Kingdom Army had arrived in the city of Iruk, asking the coalition forces to immediately move north to capture the southern defensive line of Tyre.

As soon as Bowenwright made this suggestion, the Mage Tower and the werewolves rejected it, and the elves and Elok remained silent, and a quarrel was inevitable.

After two hours of altercation, Bowenright announced a temporary adjournment.

Botelem angrily left the conference room with the men of the Mage Tower, and the old mage summoned Anse Zora to his office at the edge of the western walls of El Luk.

"What do you think of the order from their kingdom's military headquarters just delivered by Sir Bowenright in the war room?" Bowenright was very polite to Anse Zola, who stepped out of his desk as soon as the other party entered the office, and personally led the other party to the reception sofa to sit down, and brought out the best tea to entertain him.

"I'm just a soldier, Your Excellency. Ans-Zorrah, however, seemed indifferent, and spoke in a stiff and old-fashioned tone with a stern and stern face as if he had entered this office.

Botlem didn't rise because of Anse Zola's attitude, he squinted and smiled, and the movement of the tea in his hand was fast and full of pleasing regularity. When he made a cup of tea, he said with a smile while pouring the tea: "The chairman told me whether to go north to attack the defense line of Tyretown, and let me listen to your opinions more." ”

Ans-Zora was somewhat surprised to hear the old mage's words, and he did not rush to refuse this time.

"Actually... Nor am I disagreeing with going north, but the war on our southern plains will be over in two days at most. Botherim sighed, "I really don't know what His Majesty the King of Crewe City thinks, he wants to let those undead monsters who deserve hell go back, I don't understand... I don't understand it at all!"

With the sentimentality peculiar to an old man, "Don't he know how many soldiers' lives we have paid for this war?" He gently held the teacup and felt the heat of the Venerable Master's hot hands at the moment, and said softly, "Victory is about to come, why give up?"

Botlem, who has been in the laboratory for many years, has the spirit of a bachelor, and at the age of nearly 100 years, it is the first time he has participated in such a huge war. The killing on the battlefield made him unable to adapt to anything, and watching the soldiers who followed him fall one by one, the old man's heart was really as uncomfortable as a knife.

"Trockhna's kid said before I came here that I couldn't adapt to such a war. "But I just wanted to come and see, to see what I couldn't understand... I saw everything I wanted to see, but I still don't understand. ”

The old mage babbled, like an old man, more like a... A child who is just sensible.

"Wellβ€”" I don't know why, the old man's babbling came to an abrupt end, and then a strange silence fell between the two.

"I'm sorry... It's a bit of a stretch. The silence didn't last long, Botlem took a teacup and took two sips and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't know when I started, I always like to babble when no one is around... Maybe I'm really getting old. ”

Ans-Zora listened quietly, he had spent the first half of his life in Anku Fortress, and he had long been accustomed to war. But instead of being numb, he had a deeper understanding of war. He could understand the old man in front of him, but he didn't say anything comforting.

"Turlock says you can trust, and I believe him... So I believe in you. Botlem stared at Anse Zora very seriously, "I need your advice now, so... Please don't refuse me. ”

When Anse Zora heard the old man's words, he knew that he had no way to avoid it, he nodded slightly, took a sip of the tea from the teacup in his teacup, and said after a long groan: "Actually, it doesn't matter to Bowenright whether we go north or not, andβ€”" he raised his head and looked at the old man, "Our war with the undead army here has long ended. ”

"What do you mean?"

Anse Zora slowly explained: "With the power of the Krurian Kingdom at this moment and the support of the Elven Kingdom, as long as there are no major problems within them, it is as simple as a cat catching a mouse to clear the undead legion of the Eluk Territory, but King Pedi has so many arrangements in the Iruk Territory... Why?"

"Why?"

"King Pedi is exploring his way... He was testing the reaction to his entry into the El Luk Realm. Anse-Zorrah's fingers silently wrote a row of words on the wooden table, "Suke Plains... This was the goal of King Pedi, who had not had Iruk in mind from the beginning. ”

The wrinkles between Botlem's brows piled together, "Everybody knows that Pedy Reagan is paying attention on the Suke Plains, and his ambition is like a strip-naked-clothed woman, everyone can see it clearly... But will the undead legion led by Elok be left alone?"

"As I said earlier, for the Kingdom of Kruria, simply cowering in the undead legions in the western realm of Elok is as threatening as lambs to the slaughter. Anse Zora said in an emphatic tone: "And the town of Tyre, which Penny Reagan occupies, is the key point for Pedy Reagan to take control of the Suke Plains. ”

Botlem exhaled a breath of turbidity, refilled the tea for himself and Anse Zola, and said, "This is the Reagan family infighting, and their family infighting wants us to pay for it?"

"The Reagan family is no longer the Reagan family of three years ago, and we have to admit that the current Reagan family has the strength to let us pay for them!" Anse Zola's words were a little reminiscent and sighing, he looked at the old mage who was deep in thought, and said:

"Of course, you can choose to refuse to send troops, anyway, our port power in the Yekgyel military port is already in hand, and we have enough reasons to refuse this war. ”

"Can you refuse?" the old man asked, and the wrinkles between his brows piled up at this moment.

Anse Zora nodded, then picked up the teacup and put it in the palm of his hand, and said: "Although the Elven Kingdom seems to be neutral now, as long as Sir Bowenlet forcibly orders the troops to go north, the Elven Kingdom will definitely not refuse, because what Penny Reagan has done in Suker City is undoubtedly challenging the authority of the Elven Kingdom." ”

Anse Zora's calm tone slowly became serious, "As long as the Elven Kingdom follows up, the Werewolf Legion of the Misha Kingdom will definitely choose to follow without hesitation, and as for the side of Iruk City, you should be able to guess what they will choose." ”

"Corway-Rambo has now become a retainer of Peddy Reagan, and for this he did not hesitate to sell the entire Iruk Territory!" said Botlem with some reluctance, "In other words, we have no other choice. ”

"No, we can use the lack of air defense in Al Luk City as an excuse to keep our troops alone in the city. Anse Zora put down his teacup and stared at the gently swaying tea, and said, "Sir Bowenlet will naturally not agree, he will find a way to let the army led by Elok stay, so that our stay will not be so embarrassing." ”

"That's a good note. Botelem's eyes lit up.

"But... In this way, the Mage Tower will lose the friendship of Pedy Reagan. Anse Zora added lightly when Botlem was just getting interested.

The old mage's smile stopped abruptly, revealing an ugly expression that looked like he had swallowed a fly. After a long while, he looked at Anse Zola, who was still calm, and said, "Well, this damn friendship... That means we still don't have a choice. ”

Anse Zora whispered, "If we only need the rights of the Yekjar military port, it is the best option to refuse King Pedi now, but if we want more, we must follow in his footsteps, even if he wants us to go to hell to hunt demons, we cannot hesitate for the halfest." ”

"According to you, we'll never get rid of Pedy Reagan?" Botlem said with some dissatisfaction.

"It depends on what the council wants. ”

"Do you have to give what you want to get?" Botlem muttered to himself, the dissatisfaction on his face gradually receding, and when he regained his composure, he immediately picked up the teacup and poured out the cold tea in the teacup, then slowly reached out and touched the temperature of the teapot, and poured himself a cup of piping hot tea again.

"So," the old mage said, holding his teaglass, "for the sake of that damn friendship, gather our troops and prepare to head north." ”

...

Entrance to the border between the Northwest Territory of Felder and the Cullen Territory.

The sprawling barracks of the elves were much more noisy today than ever. Because, Cullen, who had been calm this morning, led the undead legion to suddenly attack the sentry tower camp set up by the elves in the border area between the two sides, and its vanguard army went all the way south to the central camp of the elf garrison camp.

The elite ranger units of the twenty outposts were assembled soon after the news of the attack on the front guard tower camp came and were rushing to the front line as fast as they could.

But the war did not break out immediately, because the undead legions did not rush to attack, and they began to build camps under the noses of the elves.

The elves did not let the undead legion act so unscrupulously, and with a loud trumpet, the elves urgently dispatched 20,000 ranger troops launched the fiercest attack on the undead legion.

In the face of the elven attack, the undead legion was not a passive defense, and they quickly gathered 50,000 elite ghouls, thousands of iron guards, and hundreds of war behemoths to meet them.

The narrow passage is the battlefield of both sides!

It was a hard-fought battle, a brutal war of attrition that all commanders were least willing to face.

But the high-ranking commander of the Elven King's troops didn't have any intention to pay attention to the war they had been waiting for for months. Because they were more concerned about what was happening in Tyre than about a war that took a long time to decide.

When Thranduil received the news from the town of Tyre, he immediately summoned his cronies.

"Penny Reagan cannot be laid-off, she is simply trampling on the dignity of our kingdom. Moiraka's indifferent eyes were full of murderous intent, "And what happened to Pedy Reagan?

"We used to promise the Pedi Regensook Plains. Lizzo Carlo looked at the war sand table in front of him and said, "Besides... It was also true that there was a problem on our side, and Captain Brian was terrible in Tyre. From the intelligence point of view, the trap in Tyre should be very obvious, but she didn't realize it was a trap. ”

"We weren't there, and I don't think it's fair to Captain Brian to make that conclusion. Intis frowned at the deputy commander-in-chief of the mage force, "No one can say anything about the battlefield, not to mention that Captain Brian was facing the most brilliant group of people in the Suker Plain at that time, and her performance in Suke City is obvious to all, and we can't veto her because of a piece of information." ”

"I didn't veto her..."

"Besides, it's not just Brianne who has fallen into the trap. Intis looked at Thrandil and cut off the next words of the Lizzocaro, "The so-called elites of the city-state alliance of the Suker Plains have all fallen into Penny Reagan's trap!"

"I have no intention of holding anyone accountable. Thranduil looked at Intis and Lizzo Carlo and frowned. The contradictions between the clans and surnames within the High Elves are no less than those in the human world, but many of them are asleep in normal times, so they are not revealed.

"Dr La Heel sent me a letter explaining a very interesting thing. "To prevent the clansmen from continuing to quarrel, Thranduil immediately brought the conversation to business," he told me... The ministers of the Kingdom of Cruria suspected that Penny Reagan had entered into some kind of covert cooperation with the Undead Legion. ”

"I've seen that intelligence, and their suspicions come from the confession of Fipert Bob in Iruk City. Lizzo Carlo immediately said: "I've been with Fipott Bob for a while... I don't think this man's words can be trusted, because every word that comes out of his mouth can be a trap. ”
