Chapter Fifty-Eight: Thousands of Miles
Time flies, and ten days have passed since the firmament has determined its allies and plans. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info And tomorrow is the day when the plan is launched. Felix will convene a meeting of the Mother Mother tomorrow to discuss the war against the Molten Iron Keep.
According to the plan, the group led by the firmament will take the opportunity to attack Felix on the way to inspect the army in the southern district after the main mother meeting, deliberately leaving a flaw for her to escape to the temple chamber to take out the Eye of Alvira. At that time, Charlotte will enter the secret room in the depths of the temple under the cover of Qiye, where she will join forces with Heywood to murder Felix and seize the artifact.
Heywood certainly can't join forces with Charlotte, in other words, tomorrow Charlotte will be alone against Felix, who has the Eye of Alvira. This will undoubtedly be another fierce battle since the incident in the water capital, and Charlotte, who has heard of the effects of the artifact, knows that Felix is indeed a close rival.
At night, as always, he refused Qiye's request for pleasure and lay alone in the guest room of Qiye's mansion. In order to avoid revealing her identity, Elle communicates with Charlotte by writing on the pages of a book.
(Don't worry, with my Lord Elle, just Felix is something!)
Even though it was the prototype of the book, the handwriting on the pages could still tell that Elle's tone was terrifyingly loud.
But at this time, Ayl's words are not exaggerated, as a proof of the root of the growth type, with Charlotte's strength, Aelle's ability is becoming stronger and stronger. After all, the gap between the two Three-Ring Mages joining forces and the two Seven Ring Masters joining forces was a world of difference.
"Don't be careless!" Although Charlotte, who has El's help, is not weaker than Felix, he still pours cold water on El, "The ability of the Shadow Orb is also terrifying. ā
(Hmph!What is the Eye of Alvira, I'll prove that I'm the strongest Root!)
There is a suspicion of jealousy from Ayl's words.
He stopped communicating with Elle, closing the pages and hiding the book in his arms. The room was pitch black with the lights turned off, and even with Elenie's deception, Charlotte couldn't give her the ability to have Drow's dark vision.
Charlotte's eyes were unfocused, and he remembered the difference two years ago.
"Vivien Leigh...... What are you doing now?"
Thousands of miles away, Vivien Leigh, who had been excluded from the Southern Expeditionary Army, was sitting on the edge of the battlements of Lelutaburg in the north, shaking her slender legs.
Even in the summer season, the winds blowing from the northern ice fields make the climate in Lelutaburg as refreshing as autumn. The north wind ruffled Fei Wenli's long hair, and the beautiful woman who had reached the age of twenty looked up at the starry sky, the stars were shining, but they were not as beautiful as the princess who was in her most beautiful years.
"Vega!Altair!Deneb!" Vivien Leigh held out her hand and drew a dotted triangle in the air, "Look! Charlotte, Brother Aven! That's the summer triangle!"
"Hah! Fool can finally find the Summer Triangle!"
"That's a bit rude, Charlotte, and I want to apologize to my sister!"
"That's right, Mom said, the guy who always scolds others for being stupid is the biggest fool himself!" Fei Wenli blurted out as if she were a child.
Unfortunately, this is not the time of childhood, and this is not the battlements of Savoieburg.
The three men who once climbed the walls of Fort Sava in search of the Summer Triangle are now one of them joining the Southern Expeditionary Force of Erosa and being caught up in the terrible civil war in the south, one is going on another adventure in the underworld thousands of miles below, and the other is sitting alone at the head of Fort Leluta, looking at the stars and reminiscing about the past.
"Growing up must be accompanied by loneliness...... Fei Wenli sighed lonely, in her eyes, no matter how bright and beautiful the starry sky is, it can't match those good memories.
She landed a deft backflip that startled the soldiers guarding the city. Vivien Leigh spat out her tongue childishly, patted the dust off her buttocks, and planned to go back to the room to rest.
However, at this moment, her excellent eyesight allowed her to see some shadows appear on the horizon of the northern ice field.
Those shadows first appeared in a sparse row, and then they turned into a dense phalanx!
Fei Wen Li's apricot eyes fell, and she immediately issued an order to the guards, "Ring the alarm bell for me and inform the whole city! The barbarian invasion, I declare that the war phase will be entered immediately! The Knights of the Rose will immediately put on armor and stand by, all the troops will perform their duties, and all the sub-commanders and above officers will immediately ascend to the top of the city!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Legion Commander!" immediately a herald conveyed Vivien Leigh's orders.
The northern ice fields were vast, so even when they were in Vivien Leigh's field of vision, the army was still at a great distance from Fort Leruta.
While all the troops in the fort were on standby, and the officers above the rank of regimental commander were assembled at the head of the city, that force was still some way from the military fortress.
Cecilia, dressed in military uniform and wearing a single ponytail, observes the enemy line with a specially made military monocular. After a long time, she put down her binoculars, and a very serious expression appeared on her handsome face with tear moles.
"Your Excellency, the number of enemies is between twenty-three and twenty-five thousand!" As a qualified officer, estimating the number of enemy troops is a necessary skill, but even the best generals cannot accurately give the exact number of enemies. Generally speaking, the error of about 10 percent is completely within the acceptable range.
"How is that possible!?" exclaimed the commander of the infantry regiment in surprise, but he quickly apologized to the heir of the Fillard family, "I'm sorry, Chief of Staff, but I don't distrust your judgment. It's just that...... How could the barbarians still be able to muster such a large legion?"
Don't think that more than 20,000 troops are very small, you know, this is the number of the main battle corps without any auxiliaries.
Let's put it this way, the total number of Erosa's main battle corps is only about 20,000, but at most the number of troops when a war is launched at one time, the number of troops is around 60,000, of which 40,000 are private soldiers of major nobles, and their combat effectiveness is not at the same order of magnitude as the main battle legion. The other auxiliaries assisted the legion war in an approximate ratio of 7:3.
Eighteen years ago, during the Battle of the Great River, which established Erossa's hegemony in the north, Erosa and the barbarians claimed to have an army of 300,000, but in fact, about 70% of them were auxiliaries of both sides.
According to this ratio, in other words, the number of people used by the barbarians in this war is about 70,000.
And what is the number of legions stationed in the entire Leluta Fort at this moment? Including the auxiliaries, there are only six thousand!
In other words, it's a battle with more than ten times the number of enemies and friends!
However, the question of the infantry commander made everyone's doubts, almost every year over the years, Archduke Lawrence would gather vassals to invade the north, how could the dying barbarians gather such a large army?
"It's an orc!" Cecilia replied, "Those barbarians took advantage of the Grand Duke's expedition to bring out the destroyers of the northern icebergs!"
Everyone gasped!
Orcs are not orcs, and they are not technically natives of the world of Stee. These orcs are said to be a species created by an ancient necromancer, they have twice the strength of humans, they are generally about 2.2 meters tall, they are simple-minded, bloodthirsty and cruel, and they are a group of monsters born to kill.
Vivien Leigh was silent for a moment, and she pulled her holy sword from her waist. The holy sword shone with golden light, gradually calming down the originally flustered officers.
"Calm down!, as a soldier of Erossa, how can you be afraid of the enemy!" Fei Wenli raised her morale and gave an order, "Pass my order, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight!" In addition, send envoys to Sava Fort and Icewind Fort respectively to explain the situation and ask for support!"
"Yes!"
At the command, everyone seemed to have found their hearts. Lelutaburg is at high speed at the will of Vivien Leigh Clayderman!
As Charlotte is about to face a fierce battle, the will of the root once again erodes the girl who should have died.
