Chapter 34: A Divine Call

Lionis

The cold sea breeze is accompanied by the sound of the waves on the inky black sea in the night sky of Leonis, and the sound of the wind from time to time follows the surrounding temperature, making people feel a chill just by listening to the wind.

In the castle deep in Lyonis, a burning bonfire illuminates everything inside, and soldiers outside the gate are dressed in armor and armed with spears, meticulously guarding the gate.

Inside the house, several nobles are engaged in a series of discussions on the battlefield map on the table.

"If you want to defeat the enemy, you must have a dignified decisive battle with the Imperials."

"The most powerful thing for the Empire is artillery, and as long as we can steal the Empire's artillery at the beginning of the campaign, then our victory is inevitable."

"Where is it so easy."

Lu En listened to the nobles not far away and began to discuss the tactical details, Lu En felt a little upset, since dinner, they have been arguing, and they have been arguing until the middle of the night, although they have perfected a lot in tactical details, but no one has caught the idea at the moment.

Lu En turned around, he walked to the table not far away, and then put his hand on the map: "Listen to me, at the moment Walkmar has placed his army in Cologne, and he does not dare to break through, because we have surrounded them like iron buckets. ”

"As I say, abandon Artois and lure the Imperial army of Cologne into the mountains."

Luen's words were like a pebble thrown into a pond, causing a wave of waves.

"How can this be?"

"We should not give up an inch of the empire."

Lu En said calmly: "War does not have to fight for a piece of land, on the contrary, as long as Atois is ceded, it is equivalent to the imperial army putting an army on the deep mountains of Avatu." ”

Luen's fingers gently slid over the hill near Artois Castle, and with the soft glow of the campfires around him, Luen's face was solemn.

"Here, here, we form four defensive fronts near the ridge near Avatu Castle." Lu En said word by word: "When Walkma leads the Imperial army into the deep mountains of Artois, it will be our time!" ”

Lu En had a victorious confidence on his face: "Our army captured Cologne from Lyonis in one fell swoop, then cut off Vokmar's army, and then trapped it deep in the mountains. ”

"Victory came, and the Imperial army, which had lost its supply lines, was only defeated in the end under our layers of defense." Lu En picked up the flag on the desktop map and pinched it gently: "This is my strategy, let Walkema be defeated before the battle." ”

"The Imperial army is indeed very strong, but in the future, Bretonnia will definitely be stronger than the Imperial army after my military reform."

Some of the surrounding nobles wanted to refute Lu En's strategy, but if they thought about it carefully, this strategy could be said to be intact, and if it was necessarily flawed, then what would happen if the imperial army was not fooled.

Seeing what the military nobles around him were thinking, Lu En smiled and said, "The army near Artois Castle should release a gap and keep luring Walkema like this, I'm not worried that he won't be fooled." ”

The surrounding nobles nodded their heads and agreed with Lu En's point of view, after all, for the nobles, Lu En was their alliance leader, an existence that they could not refute at all.

Just as Lu En was in high spirits and wanted to come up with a plan on how to capture Cologne, his body shook slightly.

Soon, he discovered something, the ...... that had been haunting the surface of his body The blessings of the fairy in the lake are slowly beginning to disintegrate.

Lu En frowned slightly, although he had already figured out why in his heart, the call of the nobles around him was even faster than Lu En.

"What the hell is going on!"

"How did my lake fairy blessing disappear?"

"No, we can't lose the blessing of the fairy in the lake!"

The knights around them began to shout in fear, after all, the blessing of the fairy in the lake was more than twenty points of armor, if it disappeared, then even if they were in hand-to-hand combat, they would suffer a lot of losses.

Lu En shouted loudly: "All calm down, we all calm down, we have to wait for news." ”

"Could it be that our actions have angered the fairy of the lake?"

Everyone's discussion quietly began to come out in the room, and there were all kinds of speculations, just when Lu En couldn't help but want to ask what was going on.

Only a sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the house, and then a knight in imperial armor handed a letter to Lu En.

The letter is simple and contains only one sentence, which is: "The Grand Priestess of the Nymphs of the Lake, who died in a confrontation with the army of the beastmen." ”

Lu En took a deep breath: "Everyone, be quiet. ”

The surrounding noble knights fell silent in an instant amid Lu En's shouts, and in an instant, only the bonfire still burning in the house remained.

Lu En then said, "I just received the unfortunate news that the Great Priest of the Fairy in the Lake has died. ”

"She was killed by the Beastmen."

The nobles in the room were silent, and then one of the nobles lowered his voice and said, "That is to say, we must elect a great priest right now." ”

"But how to solve the problem of the beastmen, we have transferred all the troops to the north."

"Didn't the princes of the south come? Let them fight. ”

For a while, the noisy voice sounded in the house again, and Lu En said calmly: "Okay, about the beastmen, let's leave them alone for now, the most critical question now is who we need to take the position of the fairy priest in Lake Bretonnia." ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone was soon shocked by Lu En's words, because the fairy and chief priest in the lake were all appointed by Lilith, the goddess of the lake, or they were elected, and the Lu En in front of him actually wanted to set up a religious leader by himself.

"It's crazy."

"We still need the support of the Tower!"

The sound of soft discussion still inevitably appeared in front of Lu En, Lu En just smiled slightly, and he said softly: "Okay, I'll deal with this matter, about the battle with the Empire, you need to be responsible for the front line." ”

Lu En suddenly raised his voice: "Bo Ximond, after I leave, you will be the supreme commander of the front, I need you to make strategic arrangements according to my plan to lure the Imperial people to attack." ”

"And I, I have to go to the Southern Tower, to work hard for the election of the Grand Priest of the Lake Fairy."

It is obvious that if Lu En does not hold the theocracy in his hands, then more uncertainty will be added to the politics of Bretonnia in the future.
