Before the invasion of the underground coalition forces, it was originally a small town called 'Sriland Town'.

Later, the underground coalition suddenly crossed the Hengduan Mountains and invaded the province of Kasrev, and the Kasef army was repeatedly defeated, and most of the northern part of the province fell, in order to prevent the enemy from entering the more affluent south, Grand Duke Kasef decided to build this fortress in the Sriland region.

Hathaway loved the masculine fortress, and if Gettysburg was like a fairytale princess, then Sriland Fortress was the princess's knight.

On the periphery of the Sriland Fortress, there are six mausoleums of different shapes.

The mausoleum fort is also called the Acropolis, and it is impossible for an ordinary fortress to have such a well-organized defensive pattern, but the Sriland fortress is different.

This fortress undertook the main defense of the province of Khasew and was the southern part of the province of Khasef...... Or rather, the gates to Vermont City.

The main body of the fortress was now transformed into a huge prisoner of war camp, and Hathaway's destination was the largest of the six mausoleums, which was now the headquarters of the Cordillera City Defenses. In Barth. Accompanied by Willy and others, Hathaway inspected all six fortresses, and only in the evening of the same day did he have the opportunity to convene a military meeting in the theater.

The venue was set up in the large dining room in the Acropolis Fortress, and Hathaway enjoyed authentic Caself Provincial specialties while discussing the next phase of the battle with the city defense generals in attendance. And Hathaway's main concern was the reaction of the other Great Lords.

Soon the scouts came back with word that the Warhammer Knights were not lingering near Fort Sreiland, although they had an encounter with the Scouts of the Cordillera. But the order from the province of Bukharin, on the contrary, quickly disappeared...... According to the intelligence, it should have been evacuated in the direction of Vermont City, leaving behind a huge southern area and Geria, which had been reduced to an undefended city, and even the Casif navy, which had been based in Geria, quietly disappeared from the port of Zheria, and it seems that it should have returned to Vermont.

The battle of Sriland Fortress greatly dampened the morale of the Cassef army, whether it was the fury of the barbarians, the ferocity of the orcs, or the grace of the Green Elves, this multi-racial army made the armies of those great lords show panic to varying degrees, and after the loss of Sriland Fortress. The plains of Kasef are not strong enough to defend against these so-called motley armies. Relying on the battered Kasef Army alone, it was impossible to turn the tide of events.

The presence of the Cordillera garrisons on the plains of Casef and Géria caused the entire central region of Casef to fall into a state of turmoil, and a group of nobles who were attached to the Grand Duke of Casif fled. Most of the people left behind were low-ranking nobles who had no territory or whose territory was barren and narrow. Even they are just waiting and seeing. Hopefully, this battle between Hathaway and Archduke Carshelf will have a clear ending as soon as possible.

On a hill, three knights stood in the wind.

The gloom and arrogance made the originally handsome face of the knight on the left look a little hideous, and a gorgeous magic armor set off his muscular body to be tough and straight. The faint glow on the knight's spear in his hand showed that he was very excited at this time, and he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore in the face of the contemplative companion next to him.

"Jarry, why don't you take the opportunity to take down the damn trash? I've never fought such a battle, I won a battle and retreated on my own, and now I've been cowering here for almost half a month, and those damned barbarians and half-orcs are wreaking havoc on the plains of Kasef under the leadership of an upstart, what are we here for? Put on a show? ”

The knight who bowed his head and pondered seemed to be pulled back from his thoughts by the words of his companion, and he did not have much disgust for the performance of his companion with some gaffes, a dark red knight's cloak draped diagonally over his left shoulder, and the strange shape of the sheathed ancient sword was not like a traditional knight's sword, but it was somewhat like the giant sword used by the giant sword warrior, but the blade was much narrower, hidden in the scabbard, and it was difficult to understand the true form of the sword, and the thin face was a little more calm than that of his companion, and a little less impetuous, Perhaps that's why he's the leader of the Warhammer Knights.

"Link, a scout force does not represent the true level of an army, do not be blinded by a trivial victory. We have seen the fighting power of the Cordillera army, and it is not as unbearable as the Grand Duke of Cassef described, at least the scout team did not panic in the face of our attack, and even if it was thwarted by our attack, it was still able to maintain a good formation and retreat decisively. You and I both know that if even a scout squad can't be defeated, the Warhammer Knights can be disbanded. ”

"Yari, you mean that the Warhammer Knights can't even deal with a ragtag army on equal terms?" A look of mockery mixed with disdain appeared on Link's face.

"I didn't say that, but it's not so easy to win." The thin man known as Yari replied calmly.

"Hmph, I don't want to argue with you about this nonsense here, I just want to ask you, what are we doing here? Is it preparing to hunt or hibernate? ”

The sinister look in Link's gaze did not escape the thin knight's gaze, and he glanced at the other man with some contempt...... A guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, thinks that he has the protection of family power and the foundation of the golden knight.

He didn't want to think about it, this was not a duel between knights!

It was a war, and Cassef's defeat had proven that the Cordillera were not the rabble they imagined...... Especially with the half-orcs, barbarians, green elves, and dwarves, four races known for their ferocity and bravery, joining in, it's even more difficult, and the victory of an encounter makes this guy get carried away, it's really hopeless!

"Link, we'll have to keep waiting, and keep watching the situation change." Yari said lightly.

There was no need for him to tell the Grand Duke's advice, this guy had been so dizzy and red-eyed by his ambition to make a career that he could truly enter high society by defeating the army that roamed the Kasef Plains...... Pathetic and pathetic. How could a guy with no self-knowledge, how could the upper class accept a little nobleman with no background, even that Marquis of Cordillera could not do it, how could he be an exception?

It's disappointing that the usual shrewdness has long since disappeared at such a time!

"Wait? So what are we waiting for? Wait for those wild men to trample Vermont under their feet? Or plant the Cordillera flag in every town in Cassef? We were invited by Grand Duke Casev to eradicate the rebels for him, not to enjoy the scenery! ”

Link couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and his handsome face distorted a little, becoming more and more hideous.

"Link, please calm down, okay? There's a reason for what Jarry did, you seem to be too impulsive! "The other knight who hasn't opened his mouth can't read the interjection." Acting like this will only make things worse. ”

"Logan. What do you mean? A furious Link immediately pointed the finger at the other side.

"Link, we all know that you are eager to make a difference, but you are so irascible and stubborn, and you have completely lost the sanity and peace of mind of a knight. Can you get the canonization of nobility in this way? "The knight didn't have that many scruples. Unceremoniously said, "When we are leaving." What did the Grand Duke command? You should clear your head. ”

Link's face suddenly turned a little pale, as if someone had punched him in the heart, and he was speechless for a while. As if chewing on Logan's words, Logan also shook his head.

"Okay, Logan, you don't want to make trouble there, Link will adjust his mood, we still focus on the task in front of us, the Assef army has completely collapsed, and now only some remnants of the defeated army are left to hide back in Vermont, the Grand Duke of Casif is now pinning his hopes on reinforcements from us and other Grand Lords, but the Grand Duke doesn't seem to have any intention of sending infantry to the battle, and I have not received instructions from the Grand Duke in this regard until now."

"As for the other big lords, I heard that they are mobilizing, but it seems that during this time, the Southern Will Federation has also frequently had skirmishes with them in the border areas, and rumors that the rebels are going to launch another autumn offensive are also very loud, I estimate that even if they can be reinforced, it will be limited, and it depends on their mobilization speed.

That is to say, at the moment there is only our army in the vast area from Vermont City to the Casserf Plains, and although the Cordillera side is still busy pacifying the Casel Plains and the Geria side, it has not yet moved south. But by the heart of the Marquis de la Cordillera, he would not have delayed for long, and perhaps his army was already on its way south. Maybe we should discuss how we should deal with the next battle if the Cordillera army continues to move south, then it will have to pass through where we are now stationed? ”

Logan glanced at the other party in some surprise, listening to the other party's tone, it seemed that he didn't want to fight anymore at all, but just hoped that the other party could stop at the Casif Plains and avoid the war, what was Jarry thinking? Could it be that the Warhammer Knights came to Homer just for pretense and didn't really want to help Archduke Cassef suppress the Marquis de Cordilera? Then why did you fight the Scouts of the Cordillera again? This is a little confusing, but seeing the strange look in Yari's eyes, his heart moved slightly, could it be that the Grand Duke has other arrangements for him?

……

"Welcome, Bishop Amberio, on behalf of our people at Casef, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and your companions for coming, and I will remember the Church of Nature's support for me, and that Assef will always be a faithful parish of the Church of Nature."

The smiling Grand Duke of Cassef was secretly cursing each other in his heart, these damned religious gods had only come at this time, so that the entire Cassef Plains and Géria had already fallen into the hands of the Marquis of Cordillera, and they had to bear such a harsh array of their own burdens, it was hard to imagine that they were the spokesmen of holiness and nobility, and the gods had no eyes, and would choose such a bunch of garbage to act as their representatives in the world.

"Your Highness, please believe that the pious deserve the blessing of the Goddess's crown; The wicked will have nothing to hide from under the judgment of the sword of justice! Bishop Ambellio's voice was like singing a hymn in praise of the gods, which seeped into the ears of everyone present, and people couldn't help but feel the urge to bow and worship.

Marquis Schubert looked at this almost performance-like scene coldly, he was not a believer in the Natural Church, and he did not have much respect for the Natural Church in his heart, but he also admitted that there were indeed many talented people in the Natural Church, and he disagreed with many people about this compromise with the Natural Church. But in their capacity, they can only agree.

At present, the harsh environment of Casserf can no longer be continued, relying on Casev's own strength alone, it is indeed difficult to compete with the Cordillera city defenses, it is really sad, the dignified Ordgar Empire's first-class great lord was defeated by a group of rabble, and the Marquis of Schubert was also infinitely emotional.

Marquis Schubert looked at the scene in front of him with a complicated expression, and he was very disgusted by the other party's high-minded look like asking for gifts, although his title was bestowed by the emperor, but Archduke Cassef was kind to him, and he had to do his best to repay the archduke, as for the performance of these people in the church, there was nothing worth paying attention to him, he just needed to do his own job.

Leonardo also saw that the performance of the Bishop Amberio did not seem to win the favor of everyone present, and it was difficult for them to gain the approval of his posture above everyone. He is actually a little embarrassed, although he is sent by the Natural Church to the court mage group, but more time is to deal with these local powerful factions, while safeguarding local interests, so as to work hard for the church to gain a firm foothold in these areas and expand its influence, especially now that the country of Audiga is already in a state of disintegration, these local powerful factions need to be co-opted, he doesn't want this not very harmonious atmosphere to affect future cooperation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this war between Casserf and Cordillera is actually a war between humans and aliens. We, the Church of Nature, have always been the guardians of mankind, and we absolutely cannot tolerate such an act of flagrant provocation to the human world order!

We need to fight back and teach those races who don't know the height of the sky to the bottom of the earth that the Cordillera is their true destination, and that any transgression will pay the price of blood! This time, our Natural Church has sent out the strongest team to help His Highness defend the interests of our Kasef and the honor of humanity, please believe me, we will join forces to wipe these guys from our eyes completely!"

Seeing that the mood of everyone around him was not very good, Leonardo had to make an impassioned speech to arouse the momentum of everyone's hatred and hatred. (To be continued......)
