Chapter 7 The Expedition of the Land of the South
Compared to Haruka, who had not yet entered the border of the West Country, the army of the East Country commanded by Xi Xili had already poured into the territory of the South Country.
Compared to other countries, the southern country is sparsely populated, and due to the existence of a very strong class system, most of the other races except for the blood of the ruling class live as slaves under brutal rule.
"Is it okay? Aren't you afraid of being ambushed by the other side with such a mighty army rushing in?" Iskar seemed to be a little worried, looking out of the car window uneasily, a thick fog shrouded the sky over Nan no Kuni all year round, and the whole country was more dry and humid than the rest of the Demon Realm.
"Don't worry, what Lord Xixili is best at is using her split body to reconnoiter intelligence, and almost the entire demon world has her split body. Eleanor, who was sitting across from her, explained.
"Do you mean that she can use her clone to get information anywhere at any time she wants?" asked Gardia, who was sitting next to Iska.
"Yes, that's right, Your Majesty's doppelganger has been operating as a mercenary of the Demon World all year round, because she has a good skill, and she has the characteristics of almost never dying, she can smoothly lurk in various countries. ”
"In that case, what is the enemy's movement now? Iscar said.
"Well, if you two want to know, then I'll tell you the general situation. Eleanor said as she unleashed her projection magic in the center of the beast carriage.
"Look here, that's where we are. "The blue dots of light on the map of Eleanor's Paradise, each representing a size of about 10,000 people. "Those red dots are the enemy's forces. ”
"Almost all the enemies in the whole area have been marked?!" Iska said in surprise as he looked at the small red dots scattered around the map.
"Yes, Your Majesty has successfully infiltrated the opponent's army as a mercenary, and successfully used eavesdropping magic to infiltrate the opponent's command system, and almost all the formations of the South Country have been mastered by her. ”
"Can just one person do this ... Gardia on the side couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Sicily was a companion and not an enemy.
"Although His Majesty does not have strong combat effectiveness compared to other demon kings, in terms of intelligence control, no one in the entire demon world can match it. Eleanor said this, a look of pride on her face.
"This kind of ability is almost like cheating for commanding a war. Iskar couldn't help but smack her lips.
"Now our march line seems to be a great one, but in fact it has very cleverly avoided the defensive network laid by the enemy. ”
"The fog just outside is a good cover!" Iska said.
"Yes, since the Bloods don't like bright environments very much, the entire Minami Country has been transformed by them, and has become a state of being shrouded in thick fog all year round. Eleanor explained.
"It's been like this all year round, those selfish guys really dare to do anything. ”
"The Blood Clan is originally a race that thinks very highly of themselves, of course, they also have enough strength and longevity to support this pride, in their eyes, except for their own race, other races are just their food, and they are the existence that stands at the top of the entire Demon Realm. ”
"What a bunch of megalomaniacal guys. Iskar said nonchalantly.
As the two spoke, Gardia was carefully analyzing the distribution of enemy forces across the map.
"Then I want to ask, where is this place where a large number of soldiers gather?" Gardia pointed to the area on the map that was more southern, and it was obvious that a large number of southern soldiers were hoarded there.
"Well, it looks like you've noticed that too. Eleanor looked up at the map, "That's where the Demon King City of the Southern Country is located, and it's also the base camp of the Blood Clan, Hilgar, the Mist Capital. ”
"Hilgar, the capital of the mist?"
"Yes, that is the area where we need to attack the most, and according to His Majesty's speculation, it is very likely that the reincarnation ceremony will be arranged here, after all, as the most heavily guarded Demon King City, it is only natural that this place should be the first choice. Eleanor explained.
"But it doesn't seem that easy to get there. "Gardia observed along the present march that a series of mountains had been marked between them and the city of Hilga, and that the only road that could cross the mountains directly had been densely covered with a dense net.
"Of course, I know this, even if I can bypass the enemy's defensive line on the border through the information provided by His Majesty at first, in order to cross this huge mountain range between us and the city of Silgar, it is necessary to pass through this path in the hinterland, and the enemy is naturally very aware of this, so this tough battle is inevitable. Eleanor replied calmly......
