The power of nature was on full display in the face of the overwhelming roaring water, both the pursuing Imperial soldiers and the defeated Templars who had fled felt the despair of each other, and the cries of madness and confusion instantly spread to every corner of the battlefield. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking at the countless imperial soldiers in front of him who dropped their weapons and turned to flee, Xia Lan, who was in a heavy siege, suddenly lost his pressure, and he always sensed the movement of the battlefield, after he found that the opposite boss had withdrawn first, three or five black shadows that were not inferior to him locked his position and sneaked over, if he hadn't been prepared, I am afraid that he could really make the other party succeed in a surprise sneak attack.

It is often difficult to distinguish the winner from the winner in a short period of time between the strong men of similar strength, and the same is true of life and death, because it is difficult for you to stop an outlaw with a survival instinct on your own, unless you have unthreatened hole cards or a companion who spares no effort to help.

At the beginning, Xia Lan killed the commander of the partial army of the Heather Empire and infiltrated Durmel, because Berante was on the side, and he was able to kill the other party because of his superior skills, otherwise if he wanted to stop the other party from escaping, he didn't know how many Templars would have to pay for his life!

Now that the situation is exchanged, it is conceivable that Xia Lan is in danger.

Unexpectedly, under the silver mask, he didn't have the slightest nervous look, and even showed an inexplicable smile.

Did he really think he couldn't have expected this?

When the other party formed a siege and launched an offensive, a wave of spatial fluctuations suddenly radiated towards the surroundings with Xia Lan as the center, and before the other party could react, their target suddenly disappeared in front of their eyes!

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it!!! ”

The black-clothed armor led by the leader roared angrily, and he calculated everything, but the spatial confinement was ignored before the assassination!

In fact, even if he could think of this, Xia Lan would not give him a chance to block the space!

After the churning torrent mixed with the unstoppable ravages of crushing trees and mud and rocks, a thrilling battle slowly came to an end.

The Heather Empire swallowed the consequences of a crushing defeat, but Xia Lanfang could not be heartened by this glorious victory.

Of the nearly 10,000 soldiers, only fifty or sixty survived the flood, and the brave and skilled knights of the Knights of the Holy Sword Orders lost a third, although most of them were killed in battle.

After resuming the lost subordinates, Berlant immediately took the initiative to take the responsibility for the war, and drifted away in the surging crusade, completely ignoring their feelings over the years.

"I wonder when we'll see each other again?"

In front of the beautiful quiet valley, Xia Lan, who pretended to chase after the war criminals in front of the soldiers, was silently saying goodbye to Berante.

"Maybe it's three or five months, maybe three or five years...... What about you? What's next? ”

"Report the results upwards and wait for them to be released."

"I reckon you're going to be refrigerated for at least a while."

"Isn't it good to have a rare vacation to enjoy?"

"You're not one to be idle."

"Because trouble always comes to me."

“…… It's time for me to go. ”

"Precious."

……

……

Shortly after returning to the rear with the remnants of his army, the results of Brunvig's defeat soon spread throughout the Gartavian line, and Berlant's vicious plan to self-determinate the flood caused a lot of controversy. From the standpoint of the upper echelons of the Templar, a ragtag army for a Golden Army of the Heather Empire is worth it no matter how you look at it, but in the eyes of the lower-level officers, it is extremely chilling, if they can sacrifice them for victory, then what is the value of their desperate battles that sacrifice their lives and deaths?

And the Templar's method of appeasing the hearts of the army is very simple, the wanted culprit Berlant, and Green, who is the commander of the army, is to be dismissed from his duties and wait for the dismissal! Such a drastic and severe punishment really calmed the restlessness of the army, even if there were any more complaints in his heart, could it be that the commander had to apologize for his crimes with death? If the famous Silver and White Holy Sword is executed, I am afraid that the most exciting person is the Heather Empire opposite, after all, everyone knows that the Silver and White Holy Sword is a major problem for the Heather Empire, and it has almost become a nightmare for the other party on the battlefield over the years.

Due to the influence of the situation, Xia Lan returned to Cologne for a long time to be examined, and the plot to kill Berante was unaware of it, and the interrogators sent by the Templars were naturally helpless, and finally let him wait for the verdict from above.

While awaiting trial, the Templar did not restrict Xia Lan's personal freedom, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Templar was just trying to refrigerate him for a period of time through censorship, and the limelight would definitely have another important task in the past.

Three years ago, Cologne was no longer as prosperous as it once was, the markets were depressed, the streets were deserted, there were few pedestrians, and many ruined areas were in a state of reconstruction.

Charlan's rescue of the townspeople three years ago has made him a town of great prestige, and everyone who recognizes him will salute respectfully from the heart, and over time he has become accustomed to it.

He rarely went out, and was often left alone in the villa arranged by the Templar.

In your spare time, you can ponder your swordsmanship skills in the yard, or sit in the study and read a book all day, which is simple but not boring.

The villa he lives in is in the St. Paulan district, and every time he stands on the balcony outside the window to watch the sunrise and sunset, he can't help but think of a mysterious woman who lives nearby.

Violet, a woman who is as secretive as ever.

He has not heard from them since.

He had asked Mommer about the identity of this woman, but who wanted Momer to be silent.

Her identity remains a mystery today.

During this period, the successive offensives of the Heather Empire against the Gattavian defense line have failed again, and only the expedition on the Western Front continues to achieve brilliant results.

If the Templars are unwilling to fight the trapped beasts, the only way to save the precarious situation is to open a supply line between the East and the West under the blockade of the Heather Empire! But the problem is that the Templars are unable to maintain the Gartavia defense, how can they have extra troops to break west, maybe the road will not be opened, and the people will be annihilated by the Heather Empire halfway through!

In the face of an increasingly bad war situation, what can the Templars do to turn the tide of defeat?

This question has become a doubt in the minds of countless people.

"Green! Do you know how much effort it took me to eliminate your negative impact in front of the top in this Brunvig incident? Don't think I don't know that Berlant is acting without your acquiescence, you can fool the ignorant soldiers, but you can fool the scheming guys above? It's so naïve! ”

Xia Lan's villa study ushered in a big man today, and at this moment, he stood respectfully in front of the other party, allowing the other party to reprimand loudly in pain.

"If you hadn't really inflicted heavy losses on that Golden Legion in that war, the Templars would have definitely stripped you of your candidacy for the Son of God afterwards!"

"Lord Fernandes, you should know the Templar orders that your subordinates received at that time, and if they hadn't been able to think of a way to defeat them, they wouldn't have been able to figure out a way to defeat them! Leading a ragtag army against a golden army is simply self-defeating! Even if Gustav stood in the position of his subordinates, he could not do anything! Xia Lan lowered her head and whispered in defense.

"I know that stupid order is the main reason that forced you to do this, and that's why I can make the guys who are plotting against you give in through this matter! They actually resorted to such a trick while I was out on a secret mission, and I will never let them go easily! ”

Fernántes sat at his desk and said with an angry eyebrow.

"My lord! Thank you for calling the shots for your subordinates! Xia Lan hurriedly pretended to be grateful.

"That's it! Don't put on this look, I don't know who you are? Fernántes waved his hand and said, "Next, I'm going to announce the outcome of the Templar's disposition of you!" ”

When Xia Lan heard this, she immediately straightened her back.

"Green! In accordance with the unanimous decision of the Supreme Cardinal of the Templars, you are removed from your position in the Knights of the Holy Sword and transferred to the position of Captain of Operation Force, codenamed Project 'Enlightenment'! The Supreme Commander is the new Patriarch Christopher in White! ”

“…… Project Enlightenment? Xia Lan said with a stunned expression.

"Yes, in order to break the current stalemate, the Templar has decided to send a large number of secret operations teams to the west coast of the mainland to set up many large teleportation circles to solve the problem of materials and troops!" Fernántes said solemnly. "Regarding the communication problem, Patriarch Christopher will naturally deal with it, and your task is not only to arrange the teleportation circle, but also to prevent the Heather Empire's covert sabotage!"

"Teleportation circle?"

"This is the product of a recent collaboration between the Templars and other allies." Fernantes smiled with a rare smile of relief and said, "The Holy Hall has been studying the topic of reproducing a large-scale and stable teleportation circle for thousands of years, but I didn't expect it to finally make us succeed!" ”

War is indeed the greatest driving force for technological development.

Xia Lan sighed in her heart, but said in her mouth: "My lord, when will my subordinates leave?" ”

"Three days later, the Mountain of Revelation will secretly gather you to arrange your own actions."

"What about the Gartavian Line? Hasn't the Heather Empire been plotting some kind of offensive all along? ”

"Don't worry, we will hold the Gattavia line no matter what, and if you succeed, the horn of the counterattack will sound again!"

Can it really be held?

Xia Lan was skeptical.

He wouldn't be mistaken by his instincts, the Heather Empire's plot against the Gartavia Line would never be so simple!

The more calm the surface, the more dangerous it is secretly.
