Riding a beautiful unicorn gifted by the elves, Sophia rests on a raised hill.

The huge zeppelin in the air was levitating in mid-air, countless demonic beasts were flying around it, and beneath the hills, a vast elven army filled the field of vision, making everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but shake their hearts.

The same is true for half-elf girls.

Especially when she thought that the elves gathered here had come from all over the world because of her own commission, she was even more excited, and at the same time, she naturally generated some pressure.

However, Sophia knew that it might be more appropriate to be responsible than stress.

100,000 troops......

With such a large number of troops and such elite equipment, even if it is placed on the side of the empire, although it will not sweep everything, it is definitely not to be underestimated, and it can attract the real attention of the upper echelons of the empire.

You must know that even for the rebellion of the border boss, the empire only sent the Third Guards Regiment directly under the empire and recruited some mercenaries.

The nearly 100,000 Imperial Raiders did not even use much of the direct levies provided by the Imperial nobles, at most the nobles of the Northern Frontier Territory controlled by the Rosen family provided a lot of their own domestic soldiers as auxiliaries and reserve legions......

Although all the participants were reduced to ashes under the slap of the "God of Dusk and Sunset", for the huge empire, it was far from breaking the muscles and bones, at most it was a pain in the flesh.

The number one force in the human kingdom, a powerful empire that once almost unified the entire Seggs world, is not boastful.

Even though it is much less declining now than it was in its heyday, the emaciated camel is still bigger than the horse.

However, this is also because the world of Seggs is not an imbecile world like Blue Star.

The existence of extraordinary power makes all the activities of this world appear more active, the mobilization potential of war, and the production of society are more powerful than Blue Star, and the explosive growth of population is also more frequent than Blue Star......

If the war machine of the entire empire were to run at full capacity, and a million troops were to be conscripted, Sophia thought it would be perfectly capable.

Moreover...... The number of mid- and high-level professionals in this army will be a rather frightening proportion.

It's just that the transcendent world is the transcendent world after all.

In the otherworld, sometimes quantity is terrifying, but quality is more critical.

Take the Maple Leaf Collar as an example, although it is one of the wealthier ones among the dozens of territorial districts (states) in the empire, its war potential is definitely far inferior to that of the entire Holy Mania Empire.

But even so, the frontier Bertotto von Cappadocia still had the confidence to establish an independent state, which is the courage given to him by the myth behind it......

Similarly, the elves' army of 100,000 gathered around her, and in addition to her own commission, Sophia also knew very well that this was also the will of the goddess!

Just as the citizens were amazed before leaving Grey Harbor, this is not only a commission from a girl, but also a holy war representing the will of the goddess!

Of course, it's not without any worries.

After the official departure, Sophia was depressed to find that the Elven Chosen One who participated in the Holy War liked to gather around her so much, and they followed her wherever she went, making it almost impossible for the girl to move.

It wasn't until she couldn't help but complain to the several legion commanders of the elven legion, as well as the commander-in-chief, His Excellency Li Mu, that the elves gradually stopped pestering her and gave her space to move freely.

Unbeknownst to Sophia, this is a normal gathering effect in the game.

In any online game, players will always be accustomed to gathering around the task NPC to act together when doing group tasks, which not only means to protect the NPC, but also has the idea of rubbing the favorability.

And the elves gradually stopped pestering her, and it was not just the orders of the high-level commanders of the Grand Guild, but they also found that this did not seem to improve their favorability, but also seemed to drop a few points......

Just as Sophia stopped on the hillside, looking at the mighty elven army below and thinking about the future, suddenly, an elven chosen one, who was also riding a unicorn and accompanied by a flying elemental fairy, came to the girl.

"Miss Sophia, all the Elven Chosen have crossed the Vimur River, and the idols and teleportation circles have been placed, so let's ...... What are your plans? ”

It's Li Mu.

The idol in his words was naturally the idol of the goddess, and it was specially used to keep the teleportation array running.

The Frontier Realm is now overrun by the forces of the Gods of Twilight and Sunset, and the Eternal Church has lost control of the entire realm, so the blockade of the space where teleportation is forbidden is naturally broken.

Although there is information that the cities and villages of the Maple Leaf Collar are now replaced with statues of the gods of dusk and sunset, new faith networks are rapidly forming, and it is only a matter of time before the space is blocked......

However, the banks of the Vimur River are very close to the Elven Forest, and as long as the statue of the goddess is placed here, the space of the evil god can still be blocked.

As for why the gods and teleportation circles were placed after crossing the river......

That's naturally because the Fuji Bridge for the passage of the army is just a temporary magic performed by the girl with the help of the power of the true god.

This kind of magic will shrink and dissipate after the time limit expires, so it is necessary to find a more stable way to transfer military power across rivers.

And as long as there is the first teleportation array and the first statue is arranged, it is like inserting a nail in the maple leaf collar, which can continue to expand the sphere of influence of the goddess step by step.

This...... It is also the common operation of various forces in the world of Seggs in the holy war.

"You already have a detailed battle plan, right? Since he chose to cross the river, he planned to attack from the hinterland of the Maple Leaf Territory first and block the route between the Western Territory of the Empire and the Maple Leaf Territory. ”

"Specifically, I think you should have already taken care of it, so just do what you planned."

"Although I am a commissioner, but after all, I don't know much about marching and fighting, and when I was preaching and solving doubts, Mr. Ao Yi once told me that there is a popular saying in the elf race, which is called professional things to be done by professional people, and I deeply believe it."

"So...... Just let me know what you want to do and how I can do it. ”

Looking at the elven commander with a respectful expression, Sophia said seriously.

Li Mu: ......

He coughed lightly, and then said:

"That's right, after we discussed it, the plan we made was really in line with the route you had in mind."

"The Maple Leaf Territory and the Holy Mania Empire are still at war, if you attack the Maple Leaf Territory directly from the west bank of the Vermur River, it is to directly take the Maple Leaf City in the west of the territory, and then capture the port hub of the Vemur River, Ze Roland, and then take down the entire Maple Leaf Border Territory on the east bank of the river."

"But in this case, our gains are likely to be picked up by the Empire, and when we inflict heavy damage on the Frontier, the Empire is likely to take the opportunity to capture the territory on the east bank of the Vermur River in the Maple Leaf Territory......"

"So...... After repeated arguments, we planned to cross the western part of the Maple Leaf Territory, directly attack the northeast, and occupy the city of Augs in the north of the Maple Leaf Territory. ”

"Augs City is the only way for the Western Territory to lead to the Maple Leaf Territory, and if we occupy this place, we will block the route of the Imperial Army's southward movement, and we can eat the entire Maple Leaf Territory with confidence."

The Maple Leaf Collar is located on the southwestern border of the Holy Mania Empire, and is like a prominent corner.

The plan proposed by Li Mu is indeed feasible.

It's just that Sophia frowned slightly:

"The plan is a good plan, but the city of Augs is not subordinate to the Maple Leaf Territory, but is under the jurisdiction of the Western Lord, and our holy war target is only the Maple Leaf Territory, will this cause a backlash from the Empire?"

Listening to the girl's words, Li Mu smiled:

"We have received information that the city of Augs has been captured by the army of the border city, and now the border city is ...... Oh no, the army of the Red Maple Kingdom is attacking the hinterland of the Western Territory. ”

"If the city of Augs is taken now, it will also fall under the category of our holy war."

Sophia nodded slightly:

"This may be controversial after the war, but if it works, it is doable."

But soon, she frowned slightly:

"It's just...... The city of Augs is a fortress city, and the core of the city is a towering castle standing on a hill, and if it cannot be captured in the short term, Otto's army is likely to be able to return in time. ”

"If he can summon the evil god the first time, he can summon the second time, if that happens...... It would be dangerous for an army to be exposed outside the city. ”

After listening to the words of the half-elf girl, Li Mu still smiled:

"Summoning evil gods? Wouldn't that be better? ”

Sophia was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted.

If it were other forces, I am afraid that they would be afraid of the appearance of evil gods, but only the elves would not ......

The evil god can make a move, and it is rumored that the real body is hidden under the crown of the goddess in the forest of elves.

"In that case, then there is no problem, but it is also necessary to capture the city of Augs as soon as possible, and then disperse the forces to avoid accidents."

Sophia thought for a moment and said.

"Of course, since you have chosen to storm the city of Augs, you have to take it by surprise for two days...... In just two days, we will be able to preach in the city of Augs. ”

Li Mu said confidently.

"Two days?"

Sophia was slightly stunned.

The army moved slowly, and it would take at least half a day to reach the city of Augs from the banks of the Vimur River.

And two days...... That means taking the city in a day.

However, even when the evil god appeared, the morale of the defenders of Augs City collapsed, and the city lords and nobles took the lead in fleeing, it is rumored that the soldiers and citizens who remained in Augs City also relied on the terrain to resist the siege of the border army for half a month......

Although the elves have an army of 100,000, the guards of Augs City at this moment are definitely the elite of the Red Maple Kingdom, how can the elves capture it in one day?

Looking at the girl with a puzzled face, Li Mu did not give a direct answer.

He smiled mysteriously, looked at the airship in the sky, and said:

"Miss Sophia."

"Have you ever heard of dimensionality reduction?"

……

Maple Leaf Collar North, Augs City.

This is a large city at the junction of the Maple Leaf Territory and the Western Territory of the Empire, with a population of more than 200,000 people, and it is also the entrance of the Western Territory to the Maple Leaf Territory.

The city is built on a hill with a magnificent castle overlooking the half-moon-shaped city.

It was Forzerburg, belonging to the Folzer family, and the noble family that ruled the city, headed by Viscount Falzer.

On the other side of the castle is a beautiful lake called Lake Augus, a name that is said to be transliterated from the Elvish language for beauty.

The lake is located on the west side of the city, and a small river meanders through the lake, stretching into the distance until it joins the Vimur River to the west......

In the impression of the Imperial people, the city of Augs is stunning.

The neat and beautiful streets, the sparkling lake, the lush forests, and the endless green wheat fields in the distance......

If it weren't for the war, it would have been a famous resort in the Western Realm, where almost every well-known aristocratic family in the western part of the empire had lakeside villas and estates.

However, now everything has changed.

Frontier Bo rebelled against independence, established the Red Maple Kingdom, and personally led a large army to the north to wage a holy war against the empire.

Although the remaining old and weak soldiers and people in the city of Augs spontaneously formed a rebel army to resist, they could not compete with the army of the Red Maple Kingdom after all, and after supporting it for less than half a month, the city fell.

The army of the Red Maple Kingdom that captured the city gathered the nobles who had converted to the city, and carried out bloody looting, suppression, and massacre of the rebels in the city, and all the infidels were either slaughtered or forcibly converted.

The population of the city has almost halved now.

And in the city, it has lost its former prosperity and bustle, and has become much more deserted.

There were very few citizens coming and going on the streets, and most of the houses on both sides were closed, I don't know if it was because people were empty, or to hide from the presumptuous Red Maple Kingdom soldiers in the city.

Even after many days of siege, the smell of blood in the air and the burning smell of burning houses were still pungent...... From time to time, you can still see blackened blood stains on the side of the road.

Fort Fourzer, the lookout tower.

This is the highest point in the city, not only overlooking the entire city of Augs, but also acting as a guard post.

The tower is specially placed with magic props produced by elves that can be seen from a distance, and can see a radius of nearly twenty kilometers.

At this moment, a soldier of the Red Maple Kingdom was standing on the tower, in charge of guarding.

The army of the Red Maple Kingdom has already reached the hinterland of the Western Territory and is engaged in the battle with the reconstituted Raider Army of the Imperial Army, which is no longer technically a front line.

So...... Although they were on duty, the soldiers were noticeably much more relaxed.

But even so, from time to time, he would use the magic guide telescope to look into the distance, or look up to see if there were any demonic beasts in the sky that were responsible for reconnaissance.

However, just as he was lazily looking at the sky again, he noticed that there was an oval-shaped object in the air moving rapidly in the direction of the city.

"What's that?"

He frowned slightly.
