In fact, with Dumbley Dandillane and Rudolf Gezette leading all the 15,000 reinforcements they could muster to the front line, the moment they left the Orso Heavenly District, the decisive battle was about to begin...... Well, Armageddon like this has happened many times, and the fate of the world is always so uncertain.

However, at least at this time, Vice Admiral Drake Eurentian, who commanded 100,000 troops and 100 warships, really felt that he was carrying the fate of the kingdom with iron shoulders. As a result, although his command concentrated the largest number of troops and the most elite fleet in the history of the Federation, he did not have the happiness of reaching the peak of his life with satisfaction. Even when the promotion of the Emergency Committee and the order to appoint him as commander of the mobile fleet came at the same time, he did not smile.

The middle-aged man, who had just become a lieutenant general, knew very well that he could not afford to lose.

When Admiral Oster Faneuil, who had been dismissed for defeat and "fear of war", was about to leave and return to Elichar to "be investigated by the organization", he gave one last exhortation to his successor: "I have seen your battle plan, and there is a real possibility of success. It's just that your lord doesn't understand that all of Lucy Berencaster's actions seem to be forcing us to leave the fortress group and fight it head-on. Victory is inevitable if the war is not attempted by our own will. In my life, I have never made any feats worth boasting about, but I only have faith in this lesson summed up by experience! ”

"I can understand...... But what choice do we have now? The army under our command is not an iron army, and it does not have such a strong will to fight. You should also know how many deserters were during this time, right? If we allow a single ship to roam our fortress group, we will be completely destroyed before the main force of the Fourth Army arrives at Daroshur. ”

The ancestors of the Federation did not leave us with an iron army that could not be defeated! This must be a matter of the system. Drake Eurentian thought sadly, but he couldn't expose such emotions to everyone. Originally, these guys were scared by the other party's ship and began to doubt their lives, but now they have finally recovered a little bit of morale, but they can't add any psychological burden to them.

Now that he has made up his mind to awaken, Drake quickly started working with his friends. He can also be regarded as a qualified officer with several strategic and organizational skills, and in just a few days, the main force of the huge mobile fleet gathered in the city of Octalia has completed the formation and preparation of the whole line for attack. Then he left the huge border fortress group and pounced on the Hilren Sky Corridor with a note from Mount Tai.

"Our goal is very clear, to recover the Hillen Sky Corridor and the Daroshur Fortress, which have fallen into the hands of the 'rebels'." He said to the captains and captains of the detachment.

"But...... "Your previous battle plan doesn't seem to say that."

"He'll come. If he really doesn't come, we will take advantage of the situation to recover Daroshur and save our captured comrades. In this way, even if little Belencaster pulls up an army of millions, he lacks the fulcrum to attack the sky itself! ”

Lieutenant General Drake's strategy was clear. Anyway, he has an overwhelming superiority in forces, and he can carry out a lot of tricky maneuvers - for example, dividing his troops.

Emmm, don't think that dividing your forces is a flag. The reason why the division of troops was broken by each of them must have been a fool or both sides were fools, but they were fired with a golden finger. In fact, since you have so many cards in your hand and you can't fully unfold them, isn't it normal to open up a second battlefield and let the other party take care of the other?

Drake Eurentian programmed all the high-speed warships into a detachment, and then assigned most of the "remnants" who had participated in the First Battle of the Cloister of Hilren and were frightened by Lu Xi to this fleet. Their goal on the march was to bypass the Hilren Cloister and attack the fortress of Darroshur.

This will add at least three days to the trip. However, for these defeated troops who have been frightened by the blue bird, there is no need to face the super fierce and brave Lu Xi alone, that is the greatest happiness.

As for himself, he formed the fleet with the two restored blue and black ships as the core - in order to allow these two cutting-edge warships to enter the battlefield in good condition, all the alchemists in the whole army almost collapsed from exhaustion. The blue and black capital battleships also carried out targeted defense strengthening, and the deck and hull were smeared with a layer of iron armor with alchemy, and defensive runes were painted, giving it the feeling of an ironclad ship.

In this way, the speed of the ship is naturally affected considerably, but this is not a problem at all. You must know that the two ships were marshalled at the same time, including all the old warships with thick skin and flesh, as well as a considerable number of large transport ships.

Of course, these ships have also been reinforced to a certain extent.

So, when such a strange-looking fleet came over, even Lu Xi's side, who was waiting at the entrance of the hilren corridor, was a little surprised.

"I think of a war we have mediated before. The besieging side gathered a large number of prisoners, and even the nearby residents, and drove them to fill the moat, consuming the arrows and fire oil of the defenders. The defenders of the city still had a bit of chivalry, unwilling to attack the unarmed civilians and their own compatriots, and after a moment of hesitation, the opponent climbed the wall unscathed. ”

Krell thought about his prosperous years as a dragon knight. As the most prestigious transcendent legion in the world, in addition to stationing at the Throat of the World to guard the World Enchantment, tracking down and clearing the cultists, demon stowaways and followers of the Demon God in various places, they also occasionally have to deal with some disputes in the secular realm - since it is a dispute in the secular realm, it is naturally not good to directly intervene in the shelf, but it is no problem to mediate and talk about what to do. Because of this, ordinary dragon knights have encountered many more battles in their lives than those mercenary adventurers, so there are too many things to brush the lower limit.

"Now this meeting, I really miss the situation I encountered at the beginning." Krell said to Lu Xi.

Lu Xi, who was standing on the bridge of the white ship, let out a noncommittal "oh", and said, "I'm curious about how you dealt with the besieging party. ”

"We cannot interfere in the struggle of the secular state, but in the name of protecting the common people, we have saved the poor who are still alive. Later, His Majesty the Sun King of Auckland directly sent troops to destroy the small country of Stormy Cape, the initiators were executed, all the royal nobles were stripped of their titles and banished, and all their property was confiscated to compensate the victims and their families at that time, and the land was directly incorporated into the royal family and established a province. ”

"What a beautiful job! If I hadn't known that the grandfather-in-law didn't do things so badly, I would have thought that he was behind the scenes. Lu Xi said.

"Anyway, at that time, the nations were clapping their hands, thinking that His Majesty the Sun King was indeed the patron saint of justice, justice, and ordinary people...... Wait, aren't we digressing? ”

"Well, I just see that everyone is a little nervous, so I need to relax. Yes, I do feel your nervousness......" Lu Xi stood on the bridge that was much wider than the Qiyao Aurora, closed his eyes and sniffled under the crowd of officers at all levels, and said slowly in a low and cold voice.

Yes, his current ship is not the Little Wife Aurora, but the White Ship. The crew members of the white ship are all elven saint white tree guards who have participated in the ancient god war, and they are also the top dwarven engineers at the last time - the kind of scientists who know martial arts and can fire cannons that no one can stop, and they have witnessed the divine operation of their own single ship. But now, most of the crew members on the white boat are ordinary people, and they are still a little nervous in the face of the other party's mighty army.

Of course, he could choose to stay on the Aurora, but that would be too unsociable, and that's not what a good political leader should do. You have to stay in what kind of place you are in what kind of position, and this is the attitude of mature adults.

…… However, it does come at a cost. Lu Xi didn't need to look at it, he could really feel everyone's ups and downs of nervousness.

Lu Xi sniffled again, snorted inexplicably, and then smiled: "Well, it seems that in addition to being nervous, there is also a little bit of fear and panic." ”

"You look like a perverted cult god." Sesilyu whispered behind Lu Xi.

Lu Xi ignored him, and his voice was a little louder: "Yes, I do feel your fear. ”

"No, Your Excellency! We are not afraid! Captain Ofresha tapped his breastplate hard and said loudly.

"No, my loyal old Ofresha, you were the one whose teeth had been fighting just now. It was so noisy that I thought it was the roast lamb chops I ate last night. ”

There was a burst of smiles on the bridge, and everyone was really starting to feel the negative emotions of tension and fear that were dissipating.

Ofresa also smirked a few times, not at all dissatisfied with Lu Xi's ridicule. Look, what do you call me? "My faithful old Ofresa"? Oh, hehehe, even if the Sprinkle family dies in battle immediately, it will be worth it in this life.

Seyleus silently took a step back and turned on the amplification magic, preparing to spread the ensuing sound to the entire fleet. She knew all too well what someone was trying to do.

"But what's the big deal? I used to be nervous, scared, and even trembling in the face of a strong enemy, and even tried my best to keep myself from fainting immediately. So, if you don't feel like you have the courage to fight, you can leave now. I'll give you the money for your trip, I'll give you a mount, and I'll even give you a letter of introduction to a good job. Really, don't lie to you, look at my sincere eyes. ”

The laughter continued to spread, this time on every of its own ships around it.

"Since everyone is reluctant to leave, then they are believing in my strength and past glory. Hehe, don't doubt it, you must think so. However, I say to you, soldiers, that the reason why I am invincible and invincible is not because of my brute strength and superstitious mind, but because of your merits. Yes, I have never been superstitious about myself, but I am superstitious about your power! ”

"Look up, you may be afraid. But when you stand here, you are already on the road to conquer fear, and when you conquer fear, you have conquered the enemy! ”

"Who is our enemy? Now, the people who pretend to call the Emergency Committee, the parasites that have attached themselves to the whole country, to each of you, are not willing to leave you with a fig leaf in the end. And rightfully so? They call for wind and rain, their family is long, anyway, even if they are born, they must find a celebrity from the last era to be their ancestor. ”

As the laughter continued, the image of the Arcane Lord, which was unattainable in the minds of ordinary soldiers, seemed to be disintegrating.

"Now, following your leader, we lead you in throwing these silverfish, dressed as nobles, into the dust. You will soon find that they are mere mortals, and even more despicable and cowardly than the seemingly ordinary soldiers of you who protect your family and your homeland. I will let you experience the sense of honor, mission, and fulfillment that you should have as the master of a country, which should have been promised to you when the Federation was founded, and now that it is 500 years later, I will also hand it over to you. ”

Some people seemed to think that these words were inappropriate, but in the midst of the increasingly loud cheers, no one thought about it anymore.

"Now, my warriors, glorious Union warriors, our soon-to-be-reborn realm needs each and every one of you to do your duty! Today's sky is clear, the situation is turbulent, the country is rising and falling, and there is a war here! ”

The boiling cheers resounded in the sky, and the momentum of the "small fleet" composed of ten warships had completely overwhelmed the powerful fleet that covered the sky and the sun on the opposite side.

Regardless of whether it will be fulfilled later, at least for this moment, ordinary soldiers really believe in their commanders. But in the future,

Andreel is now on the Arras not far away, listening to Lu Xi's speech, her heart is also full of enthusiasm, but she is finally a mature and rational excellent battle mage, not like ordinary soldiers who look eager to die for him, just let out a long breath, and said to Asterie next to him: "...... It's still like that, and I think that's what the content is, but I always involuntarily accept his incitement. ”

"All great war speeches, just reading the content, you will find it ordinary, but the content is only part of the persuasive and incendiary power. Tone, volume, rhythm, body movements, and every micro-expression...... In fact, every good orator and demagogue is bound to be a genius performer. Astre said with a blank face.

"However, in this stage with the battlefield as the background and the soldiers as props, what is a genius performer more like?"

Andreil was slightly stunned, her face was complicated, and her complexion gradually sank. She probably understood what the other party meant.

In fact, on the white ship, Sesilio didn't even need to be reminded, he already had a similar feeling. She glanced at Lu Xi, and didn't know why she always felt inexplicably heavy, and hesitated for a moment, before she whispered, "...... You're painting a gorgeous picture and then rudely indoctrination into it. ”

"I didn't deceive them." Lu Xi said: "My plan, half of the federal giants will disappear completely. Even if you have the right attitude, most of your possessions will disappear. The land, mines, and workshops they occupy will be distributed to all the soldiers who follow me. Then all slaves will also be emancipated, given citizenship, and paid fairly for their work. They have property and dignity, how dare they say that they are not the masters of this kingdom? Then the 'masters' of this kingdom will be the indestructible foundation of my reign and that of our children. ”

"There can only be one generation!" Sesilek tract.

She didn't say "who wants to give you a baby" at this time, but took this issue into account, which shows that this girl has really made great progress! Lu Xi was immediately pleased, so he continued: "By the time we reach our grandson, the era will be a different way to play. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. ”

The Industrial Revolution, capitalism, the plutocracy behind the scenes, control everything, understand? Of course, that's complicated to explain, and there's no need to say it now.

"But...... Wait, who said I'm going to give you a baby? Oh no, is this the time to discuss this kind of issue? ”

Well, she finally reacted.
