At the beginning of December, it is the season of heavy snowfall.

As early as a few days ago, Mithra officially began to march to the Sixth Holy Realm, they announced that they would destroy the last conservative world, the first group of forward troops broke through the siege fortress set up by the coalition army around the teleportation node at a heavy cost of almost total casualties, so that the coalition army's intention to rely on the node to fight a defensive war of attrition was frustrated, and soon after, the northern army group led by Mephistopheles, the southern army led by Dorma, and the Eastern army led by Meacha, these three constituted 80% of Mithra's army The main army then moved to Endymion, set up its own characteristic formation, formed three large arrows on the map, and began to attack the city and land towards the area they were responsible for.

The coalition forces on the periphery also tried to engage in some tentative confrontations with the three major armies at the beginning, trying to give the enemy a taste of it before they could gain a firm foothold - after all, the opponent did not have their ability to adapt to the shape and climate, and if they could achieve some frontal victories at the beginning, it would undoubtedly play a good role in boosting morale in future battles, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and after more than a dozen heavy defeats, large and small, they had to give up any stupid idea of fighting the opponent head-on on the plains.

The Hellmares, an elite legion under Army Group North, relied on 500 Nightmare Knights who could ignore the defenses of any entity and 6,000 genetic werewolves with behemoth-level propulsion capabilities, making the defenses of the Northern Coalition fearful.

The elite legion of the Southern Army, the "Dead Necromancer", relied on the extraordinary mobility and terrifying attack of the seven thousand Last Knights and four thousand Necro Knights to intersperse the southern defenders' defense line beyond recognition, and the action of the two knights attacking back and forth on the map looked like the sharp teeth of a hungry wolf, and every time they staggered, the color of the enemy's camp was going to be torn off a lot, and these people would not even have the possibility of escaping, and within three days, they would be completely devoured by this terrible gnawing.

The elite legion of the Eastern Group Army, the "Dark Side of the Moon", advanced the offensive step by step with a steady infantry phalanx, and after three crushing battles with zero battle losses, no one dared to underestimate these sparsely numbered girl warriors, and there was no enemy in the attack.

In this way, the three armies formed the tip of the arrow with the strongest and most distinctive troops in their elite legions, and the two wings of the arrow were formed by the more moderate troops, and the various relatively ordinary soldier armies formed the second half of the arrow according to the echelon, each of which opened the strongest and most efficient mode of operation for itself. In less than a week since the enemy broke through the blockade, there were hundreds of thousands of casualties, hundreds of lords and kings were defeated or even beheaded, the defenders of the southern line of defense were completely slaughtered, the northern line of defense was pierced, the army of ordinary soldiers refused to continue to face the white wolf banner of the dead sickle, in their opinion it was a battle with "no possibility of victory", there were many surrenders and fugitives, only the east, because of its own barrenness and proximity to the Black Forest, only a few cavalry units with excellent mobility were dispatched, At first, they felt that the girls advancing to this side were weak and could be bullied, but after tasting the power, they had to make a detour to the west of the magic capital and gallop wildly, and the remaining dozen towns were abandoned by them, so far, the north, south, and east sides of the node were completely out of control, and the encirclement and annihilation plan insisted on by some people in the coalition camp was also completely defeated.

"Now those stupid heads should finally understand that I didn't lie to them and how big the gap is between the real combat power of the two sides." Standing in front of the huge military map in the center of the chamber that lay flat on the long table, Endymion pouted and groaned.

In addition to him, there were more than a dozen high-ranking mages of the Wizard Capital and more than a dozen ordinary humans dressed in gorgeous costumes standing in the council chamber, and a little to the right of the arch that leaned in, Helong and Juno were also standing at the long table looking at the map.

"But this one...... The armies of the lords were almost crippled. Helong reminded him in a whisper, "I also expected this unreliable plan to fail, but I didn't expect it to fail so quickly and ......so miserably."

"As soon as the Flame Emperor came up this time, she sent out her strongest legion." Endymion glanced at the other mages whispering in the hall, slammed his scepter to the ground, signaled for everyone to be quiet, and then walked over to Helong's side, reached out to smooth the map, and his eyes behind his helmet stared gloomily at the three banners drawn on it.

"Death Scythe White Wolf Flag, Sword and Shield Skull Flag, Black Sky and Wanyue Flag." He pointed at the three military flags with his finger, "Their combat effectiveness, you must have all known it in the past period of time, who of you dares to say that you have absolute certainty that you can stop them?" ”

"The situation at this moment is very serious, and it is so severe that it cannot be delayed, everyone...... I'm not threatening you, but time is running out. ”

Under the gaze of all eyes, the Demon Guide King raised his scepter and pointed heavily at the three locations on the map: "There is a very dense black forest in the east that prevents them from paying attention to it for the time being, and the south side ...... If they break through this swamp, they will find that the information in their hands is not correct, it is no longer the Amir Basin, and the Mithrians have rarely encountered naval battles along the way, maybe this time they can have a chance to experience it, and then ...... to the north"

When he pointed to the northern area, the corners of Endymion's mouth twitched slightly, and his words followed, "North...... It must be completely abandoned, and no one should be allowed to fight for it anymore. ”

"Your Majesty, Divine Demon Guide, you must be joking!"

Just as he had finished his decision, another shrill voice suddenly interjected, and everyone turned their heads to see a noblewoman in fine clothes standing there with surprise and anger on her face.

"After all our hardships and battles for the creatures of the Holy Realm, are you planning to abandon us completely? When I came here, I thought that your majesty might be able to expel the demons that wandered there for the people of the north, and that was ...... you? To repay our trust in you? ”

"Dayla-" Endymion reluctantly called out her name, but the firmness on her face did not diminish in the slightest: "I told you a year ago, let the northern nations withdraw all their people and possessions to the west, because although there is habitable land and strong walls, the rear is completely blocked by snow, glaciers and seas, and if the node is lost, you will have nowhere to escape, and you see for yourself what your homeland looks like on the map...... A large pocket with a narrow mouth and a wide inside! Now that this hole is in the hands of the enemy, you want me to abandon all chances of victory and send my soldiers in to rescue your territory? The Mithras must be glad to see this, they can let us in, and then win the war without doing anything. ”

"Your Majesty, we all understand what you said, but we can't give up completely, the Linbei Corridor is an important strategic route, as long as we can recapture it, whether it is to occupy a defense or block the enemy who enters the northern territory, it can play an excellent role......"

"Maybe." Endymion shook his head, "Maybe we can take it back, but then, here in the west, our most prosperous and rich position will be bloodied by the enemy, and lose the last chance of victory, you don't have to try to persuade me anymore, I can't promise you, there are others who want to have a similar purpose, this is also said to you - you refused to accept the unified integration and training of the coalition forces, and in order to save your own interests from being violated, you have made some messy node encirclement and annihilation operations, and now it has failed, Then you have to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat honestly, and don't blame me for not showing you the last hope......"

"Hand over all your remaining resources to the coalition forces to deploy and let them be of last value." After a slight pause, Endymion glanced at the crowd of human leaders, "This is not a reckoning, nor is it a 'time for the division of rights'. ”

"We are now at risk of being completely destroyed, this level cannot be passed, my results will not be much better than yours, please do your best to wake up from some unrealistic planning, and do your best to recognize this cruel reality, okay."

After the brief meeting, Endymion continued to meet with Li Bai and others here, and began to discuss what the parties could bear next.

"I thought you were a pure dictator, but it seems that you are to blame." Li Bai just stood outside the door of the conference hall with Lila and a few people waiting, she knew what the people who walked out were here for, so she came up and said a word.

The day has finally come for her to officially engage Mithra, and it is time for her to take action to prove her worth.

"You'll have a long time to find out that I'm a pure dictator." Endymion's eyebrows raised under his helmet, and he briefly retorted her taunt, "You have known our true plans for a long time, is there anything you want to build?" ”

"The chess piece that sealed the Amir Basin is beautiful, so that they seem to occupy a large amount of territory in three directions around the node, but in fact they are blocked by three different natural hazards, and they can't break out anywhere...... If there are no more variables, then you can hope to hold on to the current stalemate. Li Bai scanned the map on the table, and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the three military flags and insignia.

As a co-opted collaborator, Li Bai's strategy of the coalition army has long been known, that is, to use three natural hazards to completely force Mithra's offensive to this direction of the Western Magic Capital, on the one hand, to restrict them from going around a circle to other directions to raid wantonly, on the other hand, the coalition forces simply do not have so many manpower to follow the other side to fight a pursuit battle.

It's almost a no-brainer.

"But you still misestimated Mithra's high-end combat power, Nelofa, as a conceptual agent and source of darkness, has the power to assimilate other beings, they have a lot of masters of your level, assimilated **, those guys are even stronger than ever, you have no chance of winning."

While saying this, Li Bai's eyes were silently observing the other forces of the Demon Guide Capital in this hall, and it was not surprising that he saw many expected "familiar faces" among them.

Wearing red robes, black robes, white robes, and various magic armors, each of them is the backbone of the gem magic system, and each of them is the leader of the magic envoy race, these people heard her words together with the magic king, but they did not exchange their heads and ears without permission, but the atmosphere in the entire council hall could not help but become even more suffocated by these words.

"And without counting that guy, is it......" Endymion pursed his lips and took a breath, glancing at Helong, both of whom could see the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Then he turned his head and continued to ask Li Bai: "I heard Westphalia say that your construction is indeed a good bonus, but ...... After living in the Magic City for a while, you must have understood it clearly, and you are sure that you can really afford this kind of Cheng dù's creation? ”

"The Magic Capital is special, I can't replicate it, the so-called solidification can only be a more subordinate venue, and there is also a premise, that is, you must let me enter the 'Wang Li Magic Library', I need the information in it to help me speed up the process." Li Bai's face was stern, "In addition, I also want all the detailed information of your general to be clear to me." ”

"The latter request is impossible, lovely girl." The Demon King's expression darkened, "As for the 'Royal Magic Library'...... You are not a magician so you can't get in, and I can specifically allow your attendants to enter on your behalf. ”

"Don't you think it's too much for you to want me to do my best to help you, but you won't even give me trust in this regard." Li Bai shook his head, waved his hand at everyone with a smile, and made a gesture to turn around and leave.

"Goodbye."

She and Endymion negotiated fiercely, but in the end, it was a matter of basic trust.

Li Bai couldn't tolerate the coalition forces completely excluding her from the information network - although she knew the overall plan goal, she was still concealed all kinds of details of the plan and the details of her own side, which was absolutely intolerable, especially at this juncture, the other party still did not let go, which made her really begin to doubt whether it was really necessary for her to stay.

Endymion watched her walk away with a grim face, and did not say anything until the end.

On the same day, Li Bai moved out of the place where the Demon Guide King entertained them, and instead rented a house in the outer city for a while. In the evening, an arcane-driven floating boat landed at Li Bai's mansion in the outer city, and Helong took several high-level magicians to stay here for a long time, and then went to the magic tower.

More than a week passed, and the gloom that permeated the heads of the army and the people gradually increased, and gradually, even the children knew the names such as the Dark Demon Neosfia or the Dark Inquisitor Voltaines, and the strength that could be observed on the surface of the two camps in the battle was significantly tilted, and in such a situation where the pressure could suffocate people, His Majesty the Demon King finally realized that this was not the moment to save face, and he called Maran and asked her to go to the outer city with his own handwritten letter.

And on the same day, far to the northeast, a brand new military flag slowly rose on the land of the teleportation node.

On a black background, there are two thick strokes on it, blood red, and it is thrilling.
