"—Why is the danger to the Frost Fortress so vain??Haven't you already delivered them the record of Lord Severis's observations?!" Probably because the war council's ban was too unexpected for him, Pike lost his voice in great confusion.

He looked down at the magic paper handed to him by the adjutant, and the more he looked at it, the worse his face became, and after a while, his eyebrows seemed to be frozen with frost and snow from the Eternal Winter Ice Field: "Even if they don't believe in the observations of the Frost Fortress, don't they trust our judgment?

He angrily crumpled the magic paper in his hand and threw it into the corner of the hall: "They don't even let us divide our troops to support, don't they know how serious the consequences will be if the Frost Fortress is lost?!"

"Perhaps...... Can the War Council send other reinforcements?" The adjutant guessed, watching the War Council's order records being tossed aside like waste paper by General Pike, and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his sweaty forehead.

"All the forces that the council has been able to muster in the past two months have been sent to the front, and it is impossible to count on the possibility of gathering new troops in such a short time, and the four main army corps are trapped in the Sunset River valley. And judging by their tone, they don't believe that the Frost Fortress is in danger of falling, what the hell is going on?" Pike punched the magic topographic map, causing a flash of light to flicker, "Could it be that the members of the War Council and the scholars have lost their minds!"

The hall was silent, and no one dared to answer.

The War Council is the Holy Council that is responsible for wartime coordination, which is equivalent to the highest head center of the Todder Quadripartite Border Defense Alliance, although it is not responsible for the command of specific forward fronts, but has absolute command over the dispatch of troops in different defense zones.

The fragments of light on the magical topographic map flickered silently, and the atmosphere was very oppressive for a while.

Mo Lin glanced at Captain Oran beside him, and saw that his originally chic and handsome eyebrows were already wrinkled, and he shook his head and whispered: "Judging from the situation recorded on the Lingzun record card, the news really doesn't look like a mistake, and the Frost Fortress is really in danger of falling. But why hasn't this incident been recorded by others......"

"It would be nice to be able to see the data information on the magic page......" he looked at the magic page that had been crumpled up by Pike and thrown into the corner, "But maybe it's because of something else?, after all, I didn't see the record on the record card of Speaker Augustus, and the Frost Fortress didn't lose ...... in the Battle of the Blood Moon."

Oran's voice lowered, lost in thought.

"Send one more request to the War Council and tell them that our Legion has enough troops to support the Frost Fortress and hold the Lange Line. Young Pike took a deep breath and looked like he was suppressing his anger.

"What about the troops who just departed, why don't you let them ......stand by first?" asked the adjutant as the situation on the magical topographic map indicated that the establishment of nearly 30,000 troops was slowly moving eastward, and at this rate it would not be long before they could leave the Lange defense area.

Pike thought for a moment and said slowly, "No, the support troops continue to march, and the time is very tight and we can't delay any longer......"

"Wouldn't that be a violation of the ...... of the council," said the adjutant as Pike glared at him, came to his senses, and did not continue. Theoretically, as long as the troops have not left the Langer defense area, they do not need a dispatch order from the council, and it is not a violation of the ban.

The adjutant gritted his teeth and hurried away with Pike's orders.

"In a semi-permanent defense area like Lange, all kinds of fortifications and machinery are relatively perfect, and the use of large magic machines similar to communication balls can achieve long-distance instantaneous message delivery," Oran introduced again: "I think the communication ball of Lange's defense line should be next door to the command hall, and it will be more convenient to deliver messages back and forth." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the adjutant to return again, clutching several magic pages in his hand, but his face was paler than before, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the pages were trembling and pale slightly, indicating that the result was not satisfactory.

He handed the magic page to Pike and said in a staccato manner, "The reply received from the War Council reiterates the previous ban, they ...... We are forbidden to leave our Lange Zone...... Regarding the observation data of Lord Sevis and the fifth team, they said that they would send a direct reconnaissance team to the outside of the Frost Mountains to find out the situation, and let us wait for instructions. ”

"When their men reach the Frost Mountains, it's a question of whether the Frost Fortress is still in our hands. Pike snorted coldly and casually tossed aside the page marked with the Holy Alliance wreath, "What are these?"

“…… This is from the corps stationed on several lines of defense between Lange and the Frost Mountains," the adjutant said again, "Most of these corps commanders have agreed to our request for the transit of our support troops, but...... Several of the deceased's legions refused, saying that a call from the War Council was necessary to allow us to pass through their zones. ”

"Did the dead refuse......" Pike whispered to himself, frowning slightly.

Merlin saw young Papa Pike wave his hand, adjust the magical topographic map to an area he had never seen before, and stared silently, his dark blue eyes full of solemnity and vigilance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Oran on the side glanced at the magical terrain map and said: "This area is called Thorn Ridge, which is the edge of the Frost Mountains, where the Frost Mountains gradually turn into rugged hills, so the terrain is more complex and the division of the defense line is relatively fragmented, often defended by more than a dozen large corps instead of being guarded by a unified corps like the Lange Line, but in terms of the size of the army, these dozen or so large corps add up to a little more than the number of ordinary legions." ”

"So the reinforcements sent by Daddy will pass through this area?" asked Morin.

"Yes," Orlan nodded, "This is the shortest route, and it seems to be the only route that can be taken from Lange Defense to Frost Fortress in three days, after all, half of our army in Todder are low-level professionals, and their marching speed is limited." ”

"And what are they going to do now?" the teenager asked, looking worriedly at young Daddy Pike, wondering what Daddy would have decided thirty years ago.

"I can only negotiate with the War Council again," Oran replied, "and while I don't understand why the War Council doesn't believe that the Frost Fortress is in danger, since the Council doesn't agree to the deployment of forces at the moment, the front-line commander can't assign troops out of his own defense zone." Moreover, I heard it just now, without the dispatch order of the council, the several lines of defense in charge of the dead in the Thorn Ridge area would not be released. ”

"Maybe Ling Zun will go and negotiate with the council himself?" Orlan guessed.

But Pike in the video stretched out his palm and summoned a cubic crystal, and handed it to the adjutant on the side, this should be the core of the Lange Line, which Morin had seen at the previous change ceremony, and the core of the line that Daddy had just taken over from General Nicker not long ago.

"General......" The adjutant asked, puzzled, not understanding what Pike meant.

"The Lange Line is under your command for the time being," Pike said flatly, "I'm going to personally take the reinforcements to the Frost Fortress!"

"Huh?!"

"What?!"

"Think twice, general!"

There was an exclamation in the command hall, and even Orlan looked frightened, clearly taken aback by Pike's decision.

"This battle was wrong from the beginning, in the early winter, before the magic tide receded, the chaotic tide suddenly swept in, the coalition forces were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult to stabilize the battle line, and the four main army corps were inexplicably besieged in the Sunset River, and the Frost Fortress was facing a crisis that had not been seen for thousands of years," Pike said in a deep voice: "I think the whole battle is wrong inside and out, at this time, there must be no hesitation, the Frost Fortress cannot afford to lose." ”

"Yes...... But even so, what should the Lange Line do, without the general to guard it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lower officials to support it. The adjutant said.

Pike sneered: "Since the dead still have different intentions, we don't need to do our best for them, you shrink the defense line to the east, let the dead send their own troops to defend in the west, and the rear of Lange's western line is the country of the dead except for the Ralk Empire, as long as you feel too much pressure, you just shrink the defense line, even if the entire defense line is empty, it's okay, I will take responsibility." ”

As he spoke, the core of the defense in Pike's hand flickered, and he didn't hesitate to remove the authority and hand it over to the adjutant.

"I have already said that once the Frost Fortress is lost, the four main legions trapped in it are likely to be destroyed, and the southern defense line will also be completely defeated, compared to the gains and losses of the Lange line. Pike said: "General Nickard's command ability is not below me, you can also contact General Nickard, who is resting in the rear, to explain the situation and ask him to return to Lange early." ”

"Yes...... Yes," the adjutant gritted his teeth and took over the core of the defensive line: "That...... The few dead defense areas in Thorn Ridge, my subordinates will explain to them again......?"

"Not necessarily. Young Pike said coldly, asking the guards to fetch his heavy dark silver armor and change it on.

"Since I personally led the army to support, the defense area that was not allowed to pass along the way rushed directly over," he twisted his wrist wearing the gauntlet, adjusted his helmet again, and smiled disdainfully and said: "I used to fight with those skeletons in simulated battles, but I want to see how strong these things that can't stand on their feet are, and dare to move their minds in such a situation, don't blame me for being ruthless......"

……

The final scene ends with a battle-clad Pike leaving with his head held high, and Orlan and Morin are pushed out of the magical realm, indicating that the next content requires higher permissions, and the two walk out of the battle data tower.

The night is thick and the sky is full of stars.

Oran was still in shock, the sea breeze of the summer night was blowing in his face, he shivered, finally came back to his senses, and said to Mo Lin with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that there would be so many differences between Ling Zun's record card and the record card of Speaker Augustus that I watched before, but Ling Zun disobeyed the order of the protest meeting so much, and left his post without permission, I am afraid it will cause others to be dissatisfied......

"Yes, my dad said he was accused of being a cultist by the council...... replied Morin.

Maybe that's why Daddy was accused by the council, the boy thought, as for the real cultist Speaker Augustus, who is said to have played a great role in the Battle of the Blood Moon, maybe he hadn't fallen back then.

Oran shook his head and stopped judging Baron Pike: "The next content of the record card requires you to pass the trial ladder sixty steps before you can read it, and when the time comes, you can pass the trial with Talisa's training badge, and go directly to the data tower in the illusion, and if I sense it in time, I will also read the next content with you." ”

"Then I'll trouble Orlan-senpai then!" Morin waved goodbye.

Tomorrow morning, he and his friends and other classmates will return to Iluvita by airship, and the exchange life in Victor College will come to an end. In addition to a few communication sessions and training on the Trial Ladder, the most important thing is to learn about Daddy's past in the Battle of the Blood Moon, which is not yet complete, but it is just around the corner.

Did Daddy Pike really lead the army all the way to the Frost Fortress?What kind of battle broke out in the Frost Fortress?How many secrets did he not know about the Battle of the Blood Moon?Did King Errol and the young captain named Jenny go to scout with the magic mentor Severis, and in the end they were safe and sound?

Back at his residence and lying on the bed, questions flashed through the boy's mind, and he gradually fell asleep.
