Chapter 107: This is not the end, it's the beginning
"We're going to see Lord Overseer!"
"Where did you hide Offey Mondridge? Rucha, we're going to explain! We, the Magic Spear Team, can only listen to his orders! โ
Leaving behind the noisy Magic Spear Team and other troop commanders, Rucha fled and hid in the palace castle again.
He was greeted by Yourd, whom he had just greeted him.
"What? Are they still there? Aren't you tired? โ
Rucha replied with a wry smile like black coffee: "That's right." Fighting is tiring, but tearing is not tiring. โ
"What about the distraction?"
"I don't think this hanging garden is bad, or you can help me find a kettle, and I'll go and water it one by one, and it should be a walk."
It is not at all surprising that Ofe Mondrich disappeared for a day or two. However, after the defeat of the town of Three Bridges, the Elta army had advanced straight to the front, and under such a grim situation, Eufe Mondridge did not see anyone for five or six consecutive days, and some officers who felt the crisis simply had no way to see them - this was not possible in the usual situation. Even the most insensitive officers should start to feel the anomaly.
"Now that the situation is so serious, what are we going to do?" Yourde's composure was completely gone, and all that remained was the deep irritation engraved on his face.
"Look!" Reluctantly, Rucha took the wooden handle and silver-inlaid sprinkler handed by the guard, and pulled Yurde towards the hanging garden and walked briskly. "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death! But should the scope of this search be expanded, or should it continue to rummage in this valley carefully? โ
"I thought I should send someone to the east and the riverbank wharf and the harbor to inquire a little, it is already a little suspicious that Uffy Mondridge sent his big-bellied wife eastward, and now I can't rule out the possibility that he will abscond in the same stream......"
"That's right!" The spout of the sprinkler in Lucha's hand shook. "It's kind of interesting, why didn't I think of it?"
"Besides, I'm afraid we can't 'look for it anymore' now, five days is enough time for them to run far, far away with horses. With Uffy Mondridge's personal ability, I think it's easy for him to get or pre-arrange the Wyvern for his own use. Soโ"
"Well, don't do that, you have to be more familiar with this aspect than me, you can just do it."
Yurde bowed and withdrew, but Rucha's hand holding the kettle was still tremblingโthere were no flowers in the hanging garden in front of him, but weeds and yellow vines and leaves.
The morale of the Western Expeditionary Army was frustrated one after another, and one of the main generals was nowhere to be found. The gloom of late summer gradually enveloped Garcia, who was still plentiful in food and grass and whose walls were still high, and the tens of thousands of people in the city were no longer fighting Elta's armyโthey were opposed by a slimy and lingering fear that seeped through the cracks in the stone bricks and dirt of the city.
It's impossible not to feel this kind of atmosphere, which is stationed in many places outside the city, because their own fighting spirit is the source of fear for these Bilunar Cultists of the Western Expeditionary Army.
"In this operation, your unit is responsible for cutting off all enemy forces outside a five-kilometer radius of Garcia's north gate and providing a safe area for our artillery units to be stationed. The number of troops is a bit small, but are you confident that you can get the support of the firepower and intelligence units directly under our legion? โ
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
Five hours after this conversation, on the night of the fifth day of Eufael-Mondridge's disappearance, all roads outside Garcia's north gate were completely cut off. There were quite a few soldiers who escaped from the stronghold, but since then Garcia has had another arm cut off, and he is even more blind to all the conditions in the north.
He ...... They are the devil! The devil who has slain from the darkness! "Kneeling in front of Rucha were the soldiers who had been guarding the stronghold outside the north gate. Elta's army only breached the stronghold, and did not fire a single shot at the soldiers fleeing to the city of Garcia - otherwise who would be able to convey this hot, clear fear for them?
"Don't panic, tell me more about how they got in?"
"Lightning and thunder," the soldier naturally did not dare to say that he had run away from the beginning of the bombardment, if not for which he would have been killed, "and then the red-eyed Elta monsters blew into our position like the wind, and then ...... I've already escaped. โ
As for the back, it's basically nonsense -- anyway, the actual situation doesn't sound much like nonsense.
"It's this set again." Yourde's face was gloomy. He had personally eaten this trick in the valley of the North Road, and it was impossible not to remember it deeply.
"Is there a way to find out where their ranged attack magic came from?" Rucha repelled the trembling rout, and after a moment of thought, he asked Yurd. "I think you need to get all your staff together for an emergency meeting."
"And why Offy Mondridge can't attend?"
"Tell them directly that the director of the Western Expeditionary Army has gone to the east to move rescue troops, and his whereabouts are kept secret!" With a wave of his hand, Lucha hastily made a conclusion for someone in the distance. "Do you still care about this, do you want everyone to die in this city or be captured?! If you want to tear it, you have to see the time to tear it! โ
"O-film, what do you think will become of the Western Expeditionary Army without you?" It was late at night, but neither Elena nor Offe Mondridge could sleep. Tomorrow morning they are about to leave for another world, and perhaps the night talk of husband and wife in this world will become precious at this time.
"Instead of worrying about these brainless pigs, I'd better say I'm more worried about Naowa." Uffey Mondridge's tone was extremely flat, not at all sharp as when he was still in Hilzi. "It's a bit of a gap from what you and I expected, and it's not the brains like Naova who have stuck in the canon at all that are stopping my plan, but the biggest beneficiaries of the project's possible success. You can guess by now, right? They will be helpless in the face of the new onslaught of the Otherworldly, and the magic spear team I have cultivated will become a meat shield that is not valued by anyone because of the loss of their asylum. They had inflicted the greatest casualties in the history of the Elta in the town of Three Bridges, but they were never remembered for their exploits and given them a corresponding reward. โ
At least fifty percent of Eufe Mondridge's words were angry - the exact casualties of Elta's army were unknown to anyone in Garcia. However, it is true that there are very few noble Bilunators in Garcia who feel sorry for the news of the total annihilation of the Demon Lance Team formed by the Elta people in the town of Three Bridges. They did not realize that they were dying, but were complacent about the cannibalism of the Eltas.
"They still haven't figured out who the enemy is, have they? O-film? โ
"That's the stupidity." Ofer Mondrich kicked his leg on the bed as if he couldn't get along with the air.
"Those mages would even be jealous that I put too many resources into the Powder Rifle. Well, the Red Dragon Regiment and even the people of the other world have recognized my research results, and what they are worried about is being replaced and squeezing out resources! It's unbelievable how to cooperate with me to win and survive with the superior combat power of the people of the other world. โ
Offe Mondridge paused for a moment, and then continued to state his dissatisfaction:
"Any idea why I'm adapting Elta? They are not noble, they have no shelves, and I am grateful to Dade for giving them a bite to eat, and I will not have the slightest opinion on the tactics proposed by me and the craftsmen. Imagine being adapted to try the soldiers and magicians who arrived in Elta with me? It's not that they still have so much resistance to the adaptation, huh, what if they are themselves? โ
"But you've failed." Elena opened her big bright eyes and gave Ouffel Mondrich a basin of ice water.
"At least I used my abilities to earn the respect of my opponents." Speaking of this, Offy Mondridge's pride is palpable. "What about them? Aren't you still staying on the stage and acting with your life? โ
"You mean, you already think that this otherworldly stage has nothing to do with you?"
"No, no, no, I, Ofe Mondridge, am also a face-saving person. The people of the other world were willing to respect me and let me get off the stage. Do you think this major event is just the favor of those people in the Red Dragon Regiment? โ
"No," replied Elena, "and then?" โ
"People may forget what they did to me and see the fallen leaves of my loyalty, but I won't." Offet Mondridge gritted his teeth, "Sooner or later, I will have to return to the archipelago where I was born and raised, and let these high-ranking people confess before the gods of the world the price they have paid for their own selfish interests for the entire Bilunar Sect. I think that's what the Otherworldly asked me to get off the stage. โ
"In the end, it's still a child's anger." Elena laughed heartily. "Those people from the Red Dragon Regiment are not like you, they blow up the ships of the Double Moon Church every day to steal their supplies, and they are so comfortable. Why bother to get along with those who are intrigued? โ
"No, I have to settle this account."
"Hey, hey, I still have to settle accounts." On a small trailer not far from the well-decorated room where the two of them stayed, several people wore headphones and joked.
"He has this awareness, and I think there is no problem in sending him to China for further study." One of them rotated the knob of the instrument in front of him. "Mom, he's turned around again, really don't let us listen to it comfortably?"
"You have to think that this turn is a prelude to falling asleep, but ah, doesn't he mean to keep the system of the Bi-Moon Church unchanged, just the 'Qingjun side'? Is this really possible? โ
On the other end of the headset is the temporary residence of Ofer Mondridge and Elena. This room was originally intended for special visitors - even from the earth, but in addition to the decoration according to the five-star standard, the listening equipment is definitely the standard of the state guesthouse.
"You can't expect the constitutionalists to think about the Qing monarch today and the armed seizure of power tomorrow. But if it goes on like this, not tomorrow, but next year it is estimated that it will be fine. โ
