In the Soul Space, Todd is discussing the details of the battle north with Rachel.

Rachel looked at the map of the North on the screen and asked his own question: "The first problem is reconnaissance. Since it is a long-distance raid and a large-scale military operation, whether it is a fleet sailing or a troop march, it is necessary to know the enemy's movements in real time. So when it comes to reconnaissance troops, we need to prepare a couple of clippers, and we also need to organize some scouts......"

Todd shook his head, "There's no need for that, I have a better option, do you remember those griffins?"

"Griffons?"

"They are in the sky and can act as the best scouts. And I can use the soul link ability to get the latest information from them at any time. ”

After thinking about it, Richer affirmed this idea: "So, the second question is, what are you going to do with the deployment of troops?"

"I've already spoken to the Twilight Cabinet that Brunhilde will lead the Knights of the North Island into this battle. ”

Rachel looked up at Todd, "Brunhilde, the North Island Valkyrie, I remember, the kingdom seems to have asked her to mediate the North Island dispute......

Todd nodded: "There are several reasons why I chose the Knights of the North Island. First of all, the personnel responsible for the control and combat of the fleet this time need to be able to fight both at sea and on land, and the Knights of the North Island are the best candidates; secondly, the chief of the Knights of the North Island, Brünnhilde, as the Valkyrie of the North Island, can assist in handling the work of the Northlanders in this battle; and finally, the Knights of the North Island are familiar with the geography and hydrological environment of the North Territory. ”

Rachel looked worried, "But I've heard that the Knights of the North Island have some problems with their loyalty to the Kingdom of Dusk. Many of them even left the army without permission and returned to their respective tribes to help fight. ”

"That's one of the reasons I chose them. Todd pointed to his head, "Have you forgotten that we didn't just 'rebuild' Asgard to gain the loyalty of the North Islanders, and this is the best opportunity to do so." ”

Rachel shrugged: "Alright, as you said, let the Knights of the North Island be the main force of this attack. So who are you going to bring with you to the camp?"

"Alfonso and the Knights of the Guard, I intend to keep them in the camp, after all, the cavalry cannot be formed at sea or in the city. Todd touched his chin: "I plan to bring the warriors of all the tribes, of course, and those gladiators, this raid on the ancient city, most of the slaves rescued are their clansmen and friends, with these people, things will be easier." Also, I'll bring the ...... Vergar."

Rachel was stunned and interrupted Todd's words: "Vergal, that Ulster's favorite! Are you sure?!"

According to him, in the underground of the Ancient Castle, there is a war beast breeding ground, where the greatest secret of the Ulster Kingdom is hidden. If we can find and solve these secrets, the Kingdom of Twilight can start cultivating the War Beast Legion, which is a very important opportunity for us. ”

Rachel shook her head and said, "Even then, it's too risky! Can you be sure it's not a trap?"

"I know it's very risky to take him with me, but the secret of the cultivation of war beasts is too important for the current Twilight City. Todd persuaded Richel, "If you can have this technology, the military strength of the Dusk Kingdom can be greatly improved. ”

"Deirdre stays, but I must go!" Richer straightened up and stared at Todd.

Todd looked at her for a moment and said softly, "If this raid can be successful, tens of thousands of slaves will be freed, and everything in the camp needs to be arranged in advance. Alfonso is only suitable for charging into battle, Ackerman can only take care of logistics, and the others have no talent to manage the camp at all, Rachel, I can only rely on you. ”

Rachel bit her lip and said nothing.

Todd pretended to be relaxed and said: "You can rest assured, if things really develop to the point where it is out of control, Henry the Griffon will take me and escape the battlefield safely from the air at any time." ”

"You're just comforting me, you're not the kind of guy who would run away on your own. Reicher said helplessly: "The third issue is time. ”

"As soon as the first combat troops landed, the defenders of Guwei City would send a signal, and the slave catchers stationed outside the city would immediately enter the city to support. Rachel pointed to the structure of the city on the map: "There is only one gate in the ancient city, and it will take our troops twenty minutes to reach the gate even if they march from the port. It should be noted that this is the result of not being stopped by any army. In fact, there were garrisons stationed in the port, inside the city, and at the gates, and it would ideally take an hour and a half to defeat these enemies and reach the gates. It only takes half an hour for the slave catchers to enter the city gate, and once the enemy enters the city, the difficulty of capturing the city gate will be greatly increased. ”

Todd waved his hand, and the image of the griffin soaring through the sky appeared in the frame: "Twilight City is currently able to use ten griffons, and their domestication work has already made some progress......"

The quick-thinking Richer immediately guessed Todd's thoughts: "You want to use these griffins to carry an elite team and parachute to attack the city gates?"

"That's right, but the airborne squad can only have ten people, so this group must be an absolute elite force. ”

Rachel closed her eyes and shook her head helplessly: "Let me guess, in addition to those Valkyries with superb martial arts in the North Island, you also plan to go into battle in person, right?"

Todd smiled and nodded.

"Do you really want to do this? You know, once the griffin has put ten of you into enemy formation, you will not only have to face a counterattack from the city, but also thousands of enemy troops outside the city, and you will have to hold out for at least an hour, which is simply suicidal!"

Todd showed a calm look: "The airborne team attacking the city gate must have a strong force to quickly suppress the enemy, and at this point, there is no one in the kingdom who is more suitable for this position than me." As for holding on to help, you don't have to worry about this battle, I specifically instructed the Twilight City Cabinet to prepare a large number of explosives and special equipment, which can greatly reduce the pressure on defending the city. ”

"But ......"

Todd gave Richer a determined look, forcing her to swallow the words that came to her lips.

"You may be the bravest and most crazy king I've ever met, even the King of the Holy Acropolis, known as the Lion of the Father, is a few points inferior to you. Richer sighed deeply, "I guess nothing I say will change your decision." ”

Todd gently hugged Richel into his arms: "Don't worry, I won't do what I'm not sure about." ”

Rachel rested her head lightly on Todd's chest, listened to the sound of the other man's heart beating, and quietly closed her eyes.

After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked down in surprise at Todd's lower body.

The latter was a little embarrassed: "This ...... For the first time, I discovered that in the soul space, there are still things that I can't help myself......"

Rachel reached out and gently touched Todd's face, and after a moment she seemed to have made up her mind, and pecked the other man on the lips: "Come to my room tonight." ”
