Chapter 149: The Situation Is Clear
"Old man?" Kevin couldn't figure out the meaning of Perot's last sentence: "Does it mean that child?"
Kevin hadn't met Regner and didn't know much about him, but he had heard some of the legends about Regner on the continent. One of the most praised or angry things is that this guy has been recognized as the most attractive girl in the entire continent - the head of the Second Academy of Magic, the high-ranking mage with the title of Frost Queen, Annelot Radith.
And Anne Lot...... She is the daughter of St. Malorite of the Wind Sword. So to speak......
Kevin scratched his baldness, then turned his head to look at the Wind Blademaster lying on the ground in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Could it be that my lord is afraid of a child?" Kevin wondered in his mind.
He is not a brain-dead fanatic, believing that his faith is the only being who is omnipotent and invincible. He simply believed that all of Perro's actions were motivated by kindness and good intentions, and that they usually brought good results. This is the fundamental reason why he is willing to give everything to Perot.
But...... How could a god with great divine powers be afraid of a child in his twenties?
Kevin and Mallolet sat there in silence, and I don't know how long it was, Kevin still didn't think of the answer to the question. He shook his head helplessly, and then said to Mallolet, "I should go back, and in a few days, maybe I will arrange for the barbarians to bring you food." ”
"Hmph!" Malolet snorted noncommittally, and then muttered, "Didn't you never care about the affairs of the Empire in the first place?
"I only serve life. Kevin replied with a shameless face: "After the barbarians go south, someone must supervise them, otherwise the Hawke Empire will be ruined." So, here I am. ”
"Have you ever thought that the people of the Hawk Empire you saved today might pick up a sword tomorrow and slash the Stoke and the barbarians, could it be that the lives of the northerners are worth more than them?" Malolet asked sharply.
"I never wanted to go that far. Kevin shook his head: "I'll only save the life in front of me, as for other things, I'll wait until the time comes." ”
"Idiot logic. Malollet cursed, then ignored Kevin.
"Try to live, old friend. Kevin finally admonished, "It's also for Anne." ”
......
It took three months for Regner to find Malolet, but even in the end, MI failed to find Malolet. After all, no one could have imagined that the Wind Blademaster would be imprisoned after being plotted by the Wandering Holy Spear, and they would never have imagined that Malolet would be imprisoned in the barbarian territory in the north of the empire.
In Regner's opinion, Malolite had fallen into the hands of the Stoke or the Dark Elves. Therefore, for the past three months, Regner has focused the search of the MI on places like the Stoke Empire and the Dark Regions.
As a result, Malollet was not found, but some nails buried in the south were exposed, and for a time even the intelligence of the military intelligence department about the south lagged. As for the Dark Regions, Regner also questioned Britney repeatedly, but this woman bites her back and has not seen each other since she had a dewy marriage with the Wind Swordmaster, and she does not know where Malloret has gone.
The undying Regner wanted to intensify his search, but Anne Lot stopped him.
"Don't look for it again, my father should just be unable to get out of his body because of something, I believe that with his strength, nothing will happen. Moreover, I could clearly sense that he was still alive. But if you look for it, you are likely to be pushed to the cusp of the empire, and many people in the empire from top to bottom these days say that you are doing this for personal gain. Anne Lot said to Regner at the time.
Regner and Annelot argued a few words, but Annelot was adamant, so Regner had no choice but to give up. But he didn't give up the search completely, but just lowered the search intensity a lot.
And another few months have passed. After entering the winter, the Hawke Empire in the north also eased the momentum of the offensive due to the harsh weather. However, at this stage of the war in the Empire, in fact, the balance of victory and defeat has been very tilted.
Although the power of the magic cannon improved by Annelot has decreased a little, in terms of portability and practicality, the new magic device of the Hawke Empire is much more practical than the large man developed by Stoker.
After a year of production, the improved magic cannon has been put into the battlefield on a small scale. This kind of thing has a good performance in both siege warfare and plain encounters, the only problem is that the mortality rate of magic artillery is surprisingly high, after a few months of trial, Ralvin laughed and found that there is still a little left of the magic cannon, but no one dares to be an artillery.
In desperation, Ralvin's good fortune increased the artilleryman's salary by three times. This time it made the Chancellor of the Exchequer Andrew have a bitter face all day long, looking as if he wanted his son to work as an artilleryman to save money, and scared Congiras to hide in the clubhouse every day for a few days and did not dare to go home......
And also after more than a year of adjustment, the barbarians also began to fulfill their promise to send troops. A full 10,000 strong barbarian warriors moved south from the north of the Hawke Empire. After arriving near the Imperial battlefield, Ralvin completely broke up each hundred of these barbarian warriors as a squad, and then arranged them into every unit of the Hawke Empire. Ralvin knew very well how dangerous it was for these barbarians to remain one, so he scattered the barbarians into all the armies of the empire, and under the supervision of other humans, these barbarians could not play any tricks.
On the other hand, the circle that Annelot and the Academy of Magic have worked on to teleport the plane node has also been completed. After use, although the amount of transmission has not reached the previous expectations, it has also greatly increased the amount of matter transported between the two planes. At present, the first batch of sophisticated weapons and equipment has been sent to Darklight City.
Although due to racial and cultural differences, the weapons and armor of the dark elves can sometimes feel a little awkward to humans. But Ralvin was able to hold his breath, and instead of immediately throwing these well-armed warriors into battle, he moved them to the rear and began to train them for a short time in and training on their new equipment. Moreover, it is impossible for the newly joined barbarian troops to enter the battlefield immediately, and it will take time.
The pros and cons of the situation between the two empires are already very obvious, so Ralvin is not very anxious at this time. He slowed down his offensive against the south after the arrival of winter, which, unlike the south, was also a problem for the northerners to deal with with carefully. If you continue to attack in the bitter cold, it will be a risky and radical move.
Therefore, with the exception of the super elite of the empire such as the Golden Eagle Knights, most of the army of the Hawke Empire began to shrink their tentacles, and they quietly stationed their strongholds, waiting for another attack in the spring of the following year.
In addition, the Golden Eagle Knights are also very different from the past at this time. After being promoted to Legion Commander, Alexander was completely removed from the scope of the Golden Eagle Knights. The current head of the Golden Eagle Knights is the former captain of the First Brigade Just. Although Justter did not have the otherworldly command talents of Alexander, he was a steady one, and he always carried out his orders with seriousness and determination.
Moreover, Alexander, who knew how useful the Golden Eagle Knights were, assigned the first batch of enchanted equipment from the Dark Elves to the Golden Eagle Knights. Come to think of it, the five hundred knights of the mid-rank knights are powerful in their own right. And now they are all equipped with powerful enchanted weapons. It can be said that the Golden Eagle Knights have only increased by three to four percent in terms of combat effectiveness compared to the past!
Therefore, despite the loss of Alexander, the Golden Eagle Knights under the leadership of Justter still did not lose their old signboard. On the battlefield, this small order of hundreds of knights is still the embodiment of death in the eyes of the Stokers.
As for Alexander himself, according to Regner's words, this kid was able to hold the military with his help.
This is not Ragner's boasting, in the past six months, Ragner has really helped Alexander a lot in addition to ordinary work and finding traces of Malolet. In just half a year, Regner personally carried out three assassinations, two of which Alexander asked for his support. And on another occasion, Regner brought Anne Lott with him for safety......
The two assassinations requested by Alexander were successfully completed by Regner, and even Alexander himself had to admit that without Regner's two crucial killings, he would not have been able to successfully capture the two Stoke Imperial fortresses.
Today, Alexander has gained more status among the three legions of the military by virtue of his outstanding military exploits. And the commanders of the other two legions also understood who Ralvin wanted to give the military to, so naturally they didn't dare to fight with Alexander. These two guys took the initiative to give up part of their rights on the grounds of Alexander's outstanding military achievements, giving Alexander an absolute advantage over the control of the military.
Since the current situation in the empire is very good, Ralvin, who is becoming brighter this year, is naturally in a good mood. The fat man transferred the few tens of thousands of gold coins left from the royal family's private property and decided to organize an annual meeting in Melindel. Moreover, in order to add to the sensational effect, the first dismissive ceremony of the two major magic academies of the empire will also be held in conjunction with the annual meeting.
