Chapter 20: Bad Omen
"Although it borders Mithras like Aranir, most of its civilizations are built on the continent compared to the Second Sacred Realm, and it is naturally closer to the Mithras with a similar living environment, so as much as sixty percent of the historical materials are used to record Lophinia......"
"If Morinfin's guess is true, then the one in the palace doesn't even think about who he wants to fight."
"Uncle Fried......" Nate looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with some concern, "so it goes...... Could that teleportation array still lead to Lophinia? ”
After leaving Morinfin's house, she came to visit her most trusted predecessor, Kea Fried was one of the most outstanding generals of the empire in the last twenty years, but he never lost a battle under his command, both on a visual and strategic level, this man with long blond hair and a beard was one of the most stable points in Mithra's military affairs before the reform, he was like a tough rock, and any conspiracy could only be hit in front of him.
However, because he has not clearly expressed his support for the new emperor for a long time, he has been relieved of his post and idle at home, and he has lived a life similar to house arrest for nearly six years.
"I think so." Fried raised his large, calloused hand and slowly stroked the beard on his chin, "The Flame Emperor is not the kind of person who will joke lightly, and he will be fooled if he is lightly...... If she can make up her mind to do it, she must have almost 10% certainty, and the transfer of troops should only be a prelude, and according to the example of conventional arms deployment, there will be a formal war in less than half a year at most. ”
This is what he can't figure out and can't understand at the moment - war is not just fought, from war reserves to troop replenishment must be counted, and considering that this is a border war, the buffer must be far more than half a year, it takes time to integrate resources and train more troops, the scope of demand has expanded from one prince and one country to the whole world, and the labor and time spent will undoubtedly increase greatly, is there any point in mobilizing troops to garrison Yacheng in such a situation...... The beautiful scenery and pleasant climate on the shore of Lake Muse are not a place to train soldiers, and even if they are trained, it should not be the right way to train these elites, break up their formation, mix with the newly formed legions, and use the experience of veterans to gradually improve the combat capability of the new legions.
Fried frowned, lifted his pipe again and took a deep breath, he always felt that the deployment of the Flame Emperor was not so simple, and this transfer was full of a strange aura of evil.
"I'm sorry little Nit...... I can't help you much this time. Fried shook his head at the dark-haired girl who wanted to look at him, "And you'd better not come to me again, the premonition of crisis I've developed over the years tells me that something big will happen soon." ”
"But......" Nate was quite puzzled when she heard this, and she felt that with her current status, she had no problem freely visiting the elders who had watched her grow up.
"Anyway, I'm not on His Majesty's side for the time being, but you're the one who brought His Majesty back, and I'm glad you can come to see me often...... But this is not conducive to your future development, they may not dare to do anything to you openly under the pressure of His Majesty, secretly it is impossible to say, although the conservatives have been suppressed over the years and can hardly raise their heads, but after all, they still have the support of the temple, don't underestimate that they did not send a single soldier in this conquest - if it happens, the war will definitely be shortened by double...... Didn't you also hang up the position of a priest there? ”
The current situation in Valhalla appears to be a combination of the new emperor and the nouveau riche, and the conservative forces are powerless, but in Fried's eyes, this is not the case, seven years ago the Light and Shadow Rebellion executed the previous Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Minister of War was dismissed and imprisoned, the number of city defenders plummeted by a quarter, and the crucified crosses of sinners were divided into two rows, which were inserted in the seven avenues that Valhalla faced outward, totaling hundreds of kilometers...... These are undoubtedly very heavy blows to conservatives, but in fact, they are not fundamentally hurt.
As can be seen from the name of the city, the clergy has a high status in Mithra, although it has been a long, long time since a miracle has been seen, but the people here still sincerely believe in the king of angels, and the "light", "punishment" and "hope" it represents; Now that they can't contact the Supreme Heaven, they can still see faith and get faith from some people who have awakened the blood of angels...... For example, the Sky Knight Perseus, after awakening the blood of the angels, turned into a pure white half-human Pegasus, and his combat power soared while also gaining a powerful ability to recover, as well as the divine power Valkyrie Orpheus, after the body was reshaped, he even obtained a pair of wings that were strong enough to be used as sharp blades, they are all examples, and they are also the key training objects of the temple's generation, this force is in charge of a total of seventeen cities in the country, as long as they want, they can train and arm a large number of troops in two or three years, The reason why she chose to hibernate in the past few years is just because the power of the new emperor is too strong, reaching the terrifying Cheng dù, the Flame Emperor's quick knife cutting through the chaos doomed her to the support of the temple, and the current calm may symbolize the future storm.
Nate couldn't get the answer she wanted from the elder, so she had to go home for the time being.
At this time, it is the afternoon, open the curtain of the carriage, you can see the noisy and prosperous scene in this royal city, the shops on both sides of the street are lingering merchants and traders, under the shade of the trees on the roadside, from time to time there are noble ladies wearing gauze hats and holding pets gracefully walking by, behind them are domestic servants or knights, in the middle of the avenue is a column of carriages galloping, some people are arguing over the unintentional friction of the horse workshop, some people are negotiating with the idle coachmen, and there are more crowds of people gathered together, The news of the expeditionary force on the front line was hotly discussed......
A qiē looks very peaceful and beautiful.
"Danger? Crisis? With her little hands on her cheeks, Nit's eyes were filled with incomprehension, she couldn't understand Fried's worries - the victory at the front should be a great festival to celebrate, as far as the eye could see, most of the faces were filled with joy and pride from the bottom of their hearts, could it be that this qiē in front of her would be shattered like a cloud of smoke in an instant.
She didn't believe it.
Returning to her own manor, and instructing the servants in advance to refuse those who did not have an appointment, Nate took a shower and lay down on the large bed in her bedroom.
After several days of hard work, and because of the problem of troop movements, she needed to rest.
—Tooth City Dusk—
The setting sun had painted the otherwise gray and black walls with a layer of golden orange powder, and the gates of this massive fortress built by the water had now been opened to welcome the last team to contain it today.
It's a pretty special team. The broad-bladed longsword decorated with the crescent moon, the steel shield and chest armor with the crescent insignia are not the point, the focus is ...... Just look at the garrisons of the fortress that are secretly stammering or saliva, and the men's eyes are chasing the slender willow waists and snow-white thighs exposed to the air, this is actually an army composed entirely of young girls.
"This is the elite of the Eastern Expeditionary Force?" The officer in charge of counting the number grinned to the root of his ears, stood on the high platform and smirked, he smashed the adjutant standing next to him with his elbow, "How much combat power do you think this group of little girls can have?" A goose ...... Or a chicken? ”
"Sir, it's not necessarily too disrespectful for you to say that, in the end, it's a team that is named as an elite, I don't think it's a problem for them to pick out individually and match an adult man." The bald adjutant cleared his throat and replied in a pretended stern manner, "Of course......" He added in a hurry: "It's ...... in bed."
"Sooner or later, the old lady will castrate those two turtles!" There was a burst of laughter overhead, which made a brown-haired female knight on a war horse in the team extremely annoyed, her ears were very sharp, and those obscene words just now were captured by her word for word, and her right hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the commander of the "Dark Side of the Moon" hesitated to cut a few people right here.
"Ignore them, Molana." Also riding on a horse, walking side by side with her was a middle-aged man with sparse hair and a thick beard, he stretched out his hand and waved at the girl beside him, asking her to endure it for the time being, "Your strength, it's good to know for yourself, and this group of people who sit in the well and watch the sky don't have any money to take it?" ”
"Yes...... My Legion Commander. Rolling her eyes helplessly, Morana was depressed, "Being angry will make girls have acne, it shouldn't matter if I play with those minions, right?" ”
"Well." The bearded man first happily took out a wine jug from his arms, poured it beautifully, and then slowly said under the girl's expectant gaze: "As long as you don't take your life and are too strict with your injuries, you can make trouble, I will bear the responsibility." ”
"Woohoo~!!" The brown-haired girl let out a cheer, "I love you to death, Captain!" I'm going to give you a baby in the next life! In extreme excitement, she simply grabbed the horse's belly between her legs, jumped out of the ranks, and disrupted a group of soldiers guarding the inner door.
"None of them are fuel-efficient lamps." Standing at the top of the city wall, Grefa looked at the small crowd below and sighed in distress, "I thought that the 'Dark Side of the Moon', which was completely composed of women, would give me some peace, but I didn't expect it to be such a strange thing...... Oh? He actually saw us. ”
"It's rumored that Meacha is a weirdo, and he seems to be quite knowledgeable." Desilei, who was standing next to Grefa, looked at her lover and the bearded man below waving to each other, and pointed her index finger to her lips to make a memory, "Uncle Mephistopheles also told me that he is a big **, not like it at all, I must take a closer look later!" ”
"Yes, yes." Grayfa's arm was shaking hard, "Well, I think it's better for you not to approach him until I confirm it myself......
After a year of guarding, Dai Grefa has been imprisoned in the position of the lord of the Tooth City, and the regular military strength of the entire fortress totals more than 2,000 people are all under his control...... The number of 10,000, 20,000, and 5,000 people piled in, plus the original 2,000 defenders of the fortress and the more than 10,000 residents in the city, may also have to count the prisoners who were escorted - that is, the number of nearly 50,000 people, thanks to the fact that Yacheng is not a simple fortress but a fortress city, its geographical location determines that only the side facing the Black Forest needs to be heavily guarded, and it doesn't matter how the area behind the defense area is expanded, at most it will take some time, so the containment of these armies is quite smooth, The fortress had enough food to last for three years, enough to keep everyone fed and sheltered in the short term.
Containment of the "Dark Side of the Moon" ended an hour later, the fortress gates were closed again, and there was a dull crash in the dark night, and a temporary resting place was arranged for his sisters, and the bearded man and the brown-haired girl arrived at the master's mansion in the city, intending to visit the owner of the fortress and the other two legionnaires who had arrived long before him.
In the modest living room, he saw Thomas and Mephistopheles as he wished, the former was about thirty or forty years old, with gray skin and a thin body, his short platinum blonde hair was neatly combed, there was a row of beards split on both sides under the upper lip and the tip of his nose, and the dark red armor on his body had not had time to take off, and it looked like he had just arrived today...... In contrast, Mephistopheles is much more leisurely, the same blonde hair, but it hangs down to the knee, the height of more than two meters makes this strong man basically have to bow his head when he enters any door, white shirt with light gray dress, when the bearded man enters, he is standing upright on the sofa, chatting with Thomas while browsing with interest the newspapers printed by the residents of the city.
"Meacha! You're finally willing to come! The moment he saw the bearded man, Mephistopheles flipped up, pounced on him and gave him a bear hug, "How's it going, how does it feel to live with the Women's Army?" It must be cool, right...... Why am I not as lucky as you, a bunch of men are stupid like pigs, and no matter how strong they are, they don't have a DIO. ”
"Tsk...... Reckless horseman. Doma crooked his mouth in disgust, as if it was an insult to be in the same room with a strong man.
Mephistopheles ...... Dorma seems to have a lot of opinions about you. The bearded man, Meacha, who had almost lost half his life to him, had to find a way to distract Mephistopheles, "You see he's grimacing at you, uh, I'm sure he's laughing at you for being a virgin." ”
"Van Cleef Meacha!" The emaciated man jumped up from the single couch and pointed a strange-looking long-handled weapon at Meacha's head, "Where's your face!" ”
"Don't." The bearded man, as if he didn't see his threat, slapped the folds of his clothes, which were left by the enthusiastic hug just now, "Kind of come and hit me!" ”
"Dom! That's what you really thought!? ”
"All you have in your head is X-liquid! Do you know how to think for yourself? ”
"Haha~ You heard La Mephistopheles, he mocked you for being single and saving for decades, and the amount of inventory was suffocated in your head......"
Molana, who followed the bearded man, stood behind him expressionlessly, it was not the first time she had seen this scene in front of her, it was hard to imagine that these three ** or old ** who were scolding each other were actually the three most dazzling generals of the empire today, and they were the three executors of this expedition victory, and she was also very curious about what kind of person the rumored female military god would be, and she could actually obey two of them.
"Where's the castle guard?" After the routine taunts and nonsense, the three of them nested back on the sofa and sat down, Meacha turned his head to look at the room, "I saw him when I entered the city, it seems, a hairy boy who is not yet thirty years old, and there is a blonde girl next to him, it is rumored that he has dragon blood, how about Mephistopheles, have you ever fought with him." ”
"Hmm...... Not yet. The strong man with long blond hair sat beside him, and shook his head quickly when he heard the words, "I arrived two days earlier than you, and the rabbit cub soldiers have caused me a lot of trouble, either stealing this family's chicken today or touching that family's girl tomorrow...... Where did I get the time to go and fight with him, but that guy gives me definitely not a weak feeling, the vigor of qi and blood is only a little bit worse than mine, if it is really as rumored that he can also stimulate the potential of dragon blood, I may lose to him. ”
"Are you sure?" Doma frowned, the three of them knew each other very well, Mephistopheles couldn't be lying, but he really couldn't believe that a city guard with a broken fortress could actually defeat the strongest man among them, "It can't be that the equipment adds to his strength, this kind of example is not uncommon in the royal city." ”
"Not equipment." Mephistopheles affirmed, "The first time I saw him was in the martial arts training ground, at that time he only wore a tight-fitting leather armor, and was equipped with a large sword that was only several times the width of an ordinary long sword, nothing special, but the blonde girl that Meacha just mentioned had a good sword, Excalibur-Phoenix Blade...... Her identity is not simple. ”
"Oh...... This is not a piece of equipment that Mithra can make. Hearing the name of the Phoenix Blade, Meazza frowned and glanced meaningfully at Morana.
Unbeknownst to Grefa, he and Désirée had become the subject of a conversation between the three of them, and he was receiving a big man in his bedroom.
Silver-haired and red-eyed, with wings on his back, his delicate curves are wrapped in a black gauze skirt, and he wears dark blue magic armor on his shoulders, chest, waist and elbows, and the girl sitting opposite him is one of the most talented new stars in the empire at the moment, the Valkyrie of Divine Power, Aophe.
Grefa didn't know why she suddenly appeared in his room, let alone what the "secret order" she wanted to give him separately was, and because the identity of the other party was too terrifying, he had to postpone going downstairs to meet the three legion commanders, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be late if he was killed.
"You don't need to be upset about your slackness, dear Dai." Aoife gave a sweet smile to the handsome young man in front of him, "Fate is destined that they won't blame you. ”
"Master Ofie...... It's just the two of us here, so you'd better hurry up and give me the secret order, right? Refa decided to play dumb again, scratching his head, looking distressed...... It's just that the next second, his eyes widened and he was stunned—the soft touch from his mouth told him that he wasn't dreaming.
"You're so cute...... "The bewildered girl flashed in front of him at some point, almost clinging to his face, and pecked him lightly with her cherry lips just now.
"What are you...... This is ......" Grefa's hairs stood on end, and he felt that he didn't have the charm to make this genius girl upside down...... But what exactly did that kiss do?
He had never felt so underwhelmed in brain capacity.
"It's a secret order." Aophee's hand slid into the fabric opening on her chest, and took out a snow-white envelope mixed with a faint fragrance from the fullness of her chest, she took Grefa's hand that was staring at her, handed the envelope to it, held his handsome face with both hands, and stroked it gently, "It's better not to let your little girlfriend know......
"Either it or me."
…… Grefa's sluggishness lasted for several minutes, and by the time he had fully recovered his senses, the seductive girl was gone, and only the touch of the envelope in his hand reminded him that the qiē that had just happened was not a dream.
"Dry ...... What the hell is going on? He stared at the letter in his hand in confusion, then stood on tiptoe and opened the door, looked down in the hallway, hid in the bathroom, and eagerly began to open the envelope.
It is rumored that Aoife's wings must be silver-white...... He wondered as he dismantled it.
Was I dazzled just now, it seems to be black?
