After leaving the Bull Mercenary Band's camp, Aske teleported back to Hearthfire Island and called out the girls.

“…… Anyway, that's about it. ”

He calmly told everyone about the situation.

Girls: ..................

Although the head of the regiment is not arbitrary once or twice, is it really okay for you to make all the decisions in such a muffled voice, and then "inform" us lightly? Why can't we be informed before making a decision?

Slander to belly, everyone quickly accepted the fact that "they have joined the Bull Mercenary Group" and began to plan the follow-up.

"From Valencia City, the destination is the Badajo Jungle, and there are probably three routes." Eleanor, who had written a plan, quickly drew a map on the ground with her sword, explaining to everyone, "The first route is to take the north road. ”

"From here, head northwest on a winding mountain road between the Cuenca and Iberian mountains, then turn west to the northern foothills of the Central Mountains, and finally enter the Badajoz forest from the north."

"The advantage of this route is that it perfectly avoids the southern plateau occupied by the undead army, passing through the border of Aragon and Castile, so the risk factor can be considered almost none."

"But the problem is that it's going to take a long time." Sheila was keenly aware of the length of the route, "In order to get around the Lamancha plateau in the south, it was only possible to walk a large circle along the mountains on the edge of the plateau, and the estimated hike distance was more than 800 kilometers. ”

"And considering it's all mountainous, it's probably a bit more troublesome." Medea added.

"Yes." Eleanor said calmly, "So this can only be regarded as a 'last policy'." ”

"What's next?" Medea and Sheila were stunned, but it was the first time they had heard of this term, "In other words, there is still a so-called 'best policy'?" ”

"Yes, I'll start with the second option." "From the southern foothills of the Penivetico Mountains, along the coastline into the flat Andalusian region, through the territory of Seville and then from the south into the Badajoz forest. ”

"It's also a detour, but the distance is a little smaller." Sheila said.

"Although we have avoided the Ramangcha Plateau occupied by the main force of the undead from the south, after entering the Andalusian plain, the probability of encountering the undead patrol is also very high." Medea pondered, "And Seville is a populous city, and it is impossible for the undead army not to send heavy troops to garrison here, and it is even possible that there will be demigods." ”

"You don't have to pass near Seville." "We can pass through the southwest of the city, near the mouth of the lower Guadalquivir River. Known locally as 'Doniana', it's a huge swamp covered in a network of water, perfect for hiding traces of our bodies. ”

"You say it's the second option." Sheila said sharply, "Is there a third one?" ”

"Yes, this route is the 'middle way'." Eleanor nodded and said, the sword in her hand was a little heavier in the center of the map, "I still have a 'good strategy', which is to go directly through the Ramangcha Plateau occupied by the main force of the undead, stealthily march in the Sierra Morena, and finally enter the Badajos Forest directly from the east!" ”

"Well, that's too risky." Sheila hesitated. Although this so-called best strategy is to walk in a straight line on the map, the shortest distance, but to cross the plateau where the undead army is entrenched, how to look like an unreliable idea to go deep behind enemy lines and send them to death.

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible to operate." Medea is fond of this kind of adventure, "Actually, we can hide in the Hearthfire Island, and then leave only one person outside, and go down the Guadalquivir River, so that there will be no trace at all, and the probability of being found is very low." ”

"The Guadalquivir River is the largest river in the Andalusian region." Sheila immediately objected, saying, "It's impossible for the undead army to be undefended on this river, and maybe they're relying on this river to transport troops at this time!" ”

"Do you support the safest way to the north?" Medea crossed her arms and asked, "The northern route is four times as long as this one!" ”

"At least there won't be that many variables." Sheila shrugged her shoulders and said, "And don't forget, we're fighting in the Iberian Peninsula, where we're completely unfamiliar with the terrain!" Compared to the longer time it takes, the unstable battlefield factor is our worst enemy. ”

The two girls were chattering and arguing, while the other girls were listening to the words "Cuenca", "Lamancha", "Gwadar", "Kivir...... All kinds of unfamiliar place names made them look confused, and they didn't understand where it was.

"Asker, what do you think?" Eleanor abruptly interrupted their discussion, "Which route is more appropriate?" ”

"The top policy is too radical, and the bottom policy is too conservative." Aske said simply, "I'd suggest taking the middle way, taking the coastline on the south road, then going through the swamp and heading north. ”

"Compromise? It's really the captain's style......" Sheila and Medea thought for a moment and didn't raise any objections. The other girls didn't understand at all, so they didn't object.

"Understood." Eleanor nodded, and took out another document, "This is a plan for taking the south road, you can read it." ”

Asker: ???

"So you already knew I was going to go the South Road?" Aske said strangely, "No, I didn't tell you that I took this mission?" ”

"Because the demigods Mi'er knows are there, we will go to the Badajos Jungle sooner or later." Eleanor said frankly, "As for the route, I think with your personality you should choose the south road, but in fact, I have made a plan for all three options. ”

"How much do you like to make plans...... Asker complained, taking the paper.

The other girls were amazed and leaned over to take a look.

Sheila and Medea looked at each other, each reading surprise in the other's gaze. Elinor...... When did this girl start using her brains? Hasn't she always been an impulsive and irritable personality before?

Sheila was only a little surprised and surprised, but Medea was instinctively jealous of Eleanor's transformation.

Because if you put aside the "together in a team" factor, her and Eleanor's personalities are actually mutually exclusive, and to some extent even more than the differences between her and Nola.

At least Nola's docile and gentle personality is unlikely to take the initiative to conflict with her, and Eleanor ...... Medea suddenly had a subtle premonition that Knight Ji might become her worst enemy in the future.

Of course, she doesn't have the ability to peek into the future like Mi'er, so she won't be too superstitious about her instincts, but that doesn't prevent her from adjusting her follow-up strategy in advance.

After a subtle glance at Eleanor, Medea leaned behind Asker and went to work on the plan with everyone.

Meanwhile, in a secret room in the Bull Mercenary Regiment's residence, a gypsy witch is removing her hand from the crystal ball.

She rolled up the sleeves of her robe and stood up, bowed slightly to the figure behind the curtain, and said tiredly:

"Your Highness, the men of the Green Sword intend to take the southern route, along the coastline into the Andalusian region, then through the Doniana Everglades, and then north to the Badajos Jungle."

"Their results?" A deep male voice came from behind the curtain,

"I saw the demi-elves swarming out, led by a demigod, and with the Azure Sword, they began to flank the undead." The witch hesitated for a moment, then said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I...... I also saw your failures, the pieces you planted in the jungle, which were effortlessly pulled out by the Azure Sword. ”

"Oh." The voice behind the curtain could not hear joy or anger, and was silent for a long time before saying, "When will your prophetic power be used next time?" ”

"A week later." The witch lowered her head, "When the moon rises and sets seven times." ”

"Okay, you go down." The male voice behind the curtain said.

The witch bowed tremblingly, picked up her crystal ball from the carpet, and quickly left the chamber.

She is a transcendent who majored in the laws of prophecy, and can peer into fragments of what is to come in the future, as well as use eerie spells and rituals to promote the transformation and fulfillment of prophecies.

In fact, this ability to peek into the future didn't have a week-long cooldown, and whenever she wanted to see it, it was only a drain on her spirit—in front of the big man behind the Veil, she cunningly chose to lie and avoid being asked to make a second prophecy.

Because, just when she was peeking into the future just now, she inexplicably felt like she was being watched.

It's like a hunter staring at his prey and suddenly realizing that he has become his prey.
