Chapter 106: Bekaz's Instigation Conspiracy
In the previous life of "Redemption", because Bekaz and his army of the undead put too much pressure on the Holy City of Arya Val and the Cult of the Goddess of Creation, the Cult of Creator immediately sent a request for reinforcements to the Radiant Empire and the Free Federation after Bekaz showed his ambitions for the Holy City.
Although it is a national force established and governed by human beings like the Empire and the Federation, the Cult of the Goddess of Creation is absolutely neutral and has no ambition to expand, which makes it more like a transcendent neutral force in the eyes of the Empire and the Federation, similar to the strange domain dominated by the dragons or the elven forest of the elves. As a result, both the Empire and the Federation are happy to befriend the Cult of Creation. After receiving a request for help from the Holy City, the Radiant Empire and the Free Federation in the previous game immediately sent their respective reinforcements to help the Knights Templar in the Holy City fight against the army of the undead.
Unexpectedly, these two reinforcements not only did not play the role of assistance that everyone expected, but fell into the trap of cannibalism under Bekaz's design, and even finally caused the war between the Federation and the Empire to be in a state of calm again.
In the game of this life, in addition to ensuring the safety of the Godhead fragments here in the Holy City during the Holy City Event, and killing Bekaz to obtain the Godhead Fragments on his body if possible, Rococo also has one of the most important mission objectives is to prevent Beccaz from using this incident to provoke a war between the Empire and the Federation like in his previous life.
The plot of the national war in the game will appear sooner or later, but at least it should not be now, and it is not conducive to the ultimate goal of Mira and Rococo to save the plane of the E-methea continent by prematurely shifting the focus of the game from fighting monsters and expelling chaos to the national war, and even if it evolves into the game in the previous life, players who are outsiders can use the game law system to fight each other in the game world without limit, which is definitely worse for the already on the verge of shattering the E-methea continent.
Having said that, Rococo also has to admit that this is not a simple matter from the current situation. The relationship between the Federation and the Empire is so close that for these two great powers, which have never been out of a state of war in the first place, the slightest conflict can become a flashpoint for another full-scale conflict between the two sides.
The best thing to do is not to let the troops of the Federation and the Empire appear on the same battlefield at the same time, even if they are also reinforcements invited by the Holy City. Of course, Rococo knew that this could only make her think about it, even if Bekaz's undead legion was weakened a lot compared to the previous life, it was not something that the Goddess of Creation Sect in the Holy City could cope with on its own, the main military forces of the Goddess of Creation Sect were almost all concentrated in a few counteroffensive and development strongholds in the northern continent that had not yet been widely advertised, and only the Knights of the Templars were in charge of the Holy City.
However, what Luo Coco didn't expect was that she was obviously not happy to see the troops of the Federation and the Empire involved in this Holy City incident, but she somehow received the task of asking for help from the Free Federation on behalf of the Holy City.
That's right, the priest who stopped Rococo when she came out of the inner sanctum of the Templar had given Rococo the task of asking her to deliver a letter to the commander of the garrison on the border of the Free Federation of the Southern Continent, asking them to send troops to support the Holy City as soon as possible.
When receiving this task, Rococo's first reaction was to click "no" on the prompt screen for whether to accept the task. But after thinking about it, since this task for help has appeared, even if she refuses, there will still be other players who will take over, and the result will still be the same, but if she deliberately delays not to deliver the letter after taking over the task, wouldn't it just be able to stop the reinforcements from the Free Federation?
With this in mind, Rococo chose to accept the assignment instead, and took the letter to the commander of the Free Federation garrison from the priest. But as if to oppose her, just as the maiden was about to inquire whether the letter could be torn up or thrown away as soon as she had gone out, the priest spoke with a hateful smile.
"Thank you for everything you have done for Arya Val and the Goddess, dear adventurer, in fact, Lord Orlanardo has already sent a request for reinforcements to both the Radiant Empire and the Free Federation and has been responded to, but recently the undead around the Holy City have become more and more restless, we have to ask the border garrisons of the two sides to temporarily allocate some troops to the periphery to contain the undead army for us before the official reinforcements formed by the Empire and the Federation arrive, then, everything is left to you, please be careful all the way."
Rococo, who had thought she had thought of a good idea to prevent the Federation from sending reinforcements, suddenly turned indifferent, and for a moment she seemed to see the old man who was still in the small garden behind the inner sanctum talking to her about how to trap Bekkaz and spread his hands with a confident smile on his face.
Even if you prevent reinforcements from coming, you can prevent me from losing, .jpg
On the way out of the Templar to find her teammates, Rococo didn't continue to worry about how to delay the mission, she began to think about another thing, that is, whether she should first turn into an original elf and beat Ornado here to vent her anger.
…… Well, that's a lot of temptation. Confused thoughts.

As a reasonable beautiful girl who focuses on the overall situation, Rococo still didn't choose to beat Orlanado in the end.
Well, the big picture is important, so it's not because the time it takes for her to transform into a full-fledged primordial fairy with only one fragment of Godhead is too short, so she doesn't have the confidence to beat the old man now.
Now that Orlanardo has sent the official request for reinforcements to the Federation and the Empire, it is obvious that it is impossible to prevent the armies of the two sides from meeting at the mainland border location, and Rococo has no choice but to start thinking about how to stop the two sides from suddenly becoming mortal enemies like in the game in the previous life, from allies who can still fight together under the mediation of the Holy City for the time being.
With the game forum information in hand, Rococo quickly understood the beginning and end of the plot of the Holy City events in his previous life. It is not difficult to find that the event that led to the complete confrontation between the Empire and the Federation was on the eve of the decisive battle of the Holy City, the battle in which the Federation Army and the Undead Army, which shocked the entire continent, joined forces to strangle the Imperial Army that was originally their comrades.
Of course, the word "join forces" is just a venting of anger on the part of the empire, as a reinforcement invited by the Goddess of Creation Sect, it is naturally impossible for the federal army to really "join forces" with the undead army, the truth of that battle is: after the war, the federal army deliberately and the undead army suddenly retreated and withdrew from the battle as soon as they came into contact, and as a result, the imperial army on the other side of the upright charge fell into the situation of being isolated in the siege of the undead army, and when the imperial army was completely defeated, a group of remnants of the defeated army was finally about to escape from the siege, The federal army went and returned, and attacked in a neat formation in the direction of the imperial army's escape, blocking the remnants of the imperial army, which were almost zero in combat power and fighting spirit, back into the encirclement of the sea of the undead, and finally led to the death of all the imperial soldiers on the battlefield except for a few senior generals with superior military strength at the top of the imperial army.
From the perspective of the Holy City incident itself, the Free Federation's behavior of "killing teammates" seems completely unreasonable, because after the complete defeat of the Imperial Army in that battle, the Free Federation faced the army of the undead alone also did not benefit, the difference is only that it did not lose so miserably and completely like the Imperial Army. But in fact, when this incident is linked to the global form of the game at the time, this incident was immediately considered by many to be a premeditated Free Federation conspiracy against the Imperial Army.
At that time, the Radiant Empire was actually facing the threat of the Beast Spirit Clan from the Northern Wasteland of the Eastern Continent - in fact, the dispute and war with the Beast Spirit Clan was the main plot of the game in the early stage of the Radiant Empire power players - so the Radiant Empire was unable to draw too many troops from the northern frontier and within the country, and almost all of the people who went to support the Holy City were originally stationed near the border of the mainland and were responsible for guarding against the Free Federation all year round. The Free Federation played this hand, and it was completely a direct slash at the Imperial border army, which was originally considered strong, so that in the next national war that would naturally start, the Federation side undoubtedly took the lead.
Of course, these are the analyses of the various strategy gods on the player forums in the previous life, and the analysis of the gods is well organized, and Rococo completely believed these statements at first, but after experiencing the Lancarus Plague Rebellion, which has a completely different plot in this life, the girl has some doubts about this statement.
Rococo has not been able to confirm whether Bekaz's accomplices in the Lancarlos incident are the Freedom Council (after all, according to Kinses, Bekaz's accomplice is more like a guy with a fragment of Godhead like him, and the group of people in the Freedom Council is simply Beckaz's undead puppets), but there is no doubt that in the previous life, it is absolutely impossible for Bekaz's accomplices who have not been found out to be so peaceful as in this life, after all, in the game of the previous life, the plague undead riot directed by Bekaz was a great success, The forced resignation of the Lancarus Metropolitan faction meant that it was most likely Bekaz's accomplices or puppets who were in power within the Free Federation at the time.
If this is the case, then it is obvious that the action of the Federation army to kill the Imperial Army in the Holy City Incident may not contain such a far-sighted calculation as analyzed by the analysis emperors on the Internet in the previous life, but there is also the most simple and straightforward interpretation: Bekaz did not want to be harassed by the troops of the Empire and the Federation when attacking the Holy City, so he deliberately let his accomplice use the power in his hands to make this matter, so that the Empire and the Federation would make a mess before attacking him.
Soon, Rococo found an inconspicuous evidence for his speculation - in the national war in the previous life, although the Federation Army ostensibly took the lead because of the pit killing and the attack of the Northern Beast Spirit Clan on the Empire, in fact, the battle situation between the Empire and the Federation in the early stage was generally in a completely evenly matched and anxious state, and the Federation side except for Arbat County, which is located on the border of the Federation and has always been known for its military strength, the battlefield investment of the other county forces is almost zero, Even in the early days of the war, it was clear from the early days of the war that they were ill-prepared for the war.
Considering that at that time, the Free Council took advantage of the decline of the main city faction of Lancarlos to ascend to power, but immediately encountered the opposition of other large county forces led by Arbat, which were originally only one line lower than Lancarros, Rococo has reason to believe that in addition to the Freedom Council, which could directly order federal reinforcements from the Federation at that time, other free federal counties, including Arbat, may not be psychologically prepared at all.
This may be another plot by Bekaz and his accomplices, Bekaz has gained an environment where he can attack the Holy City with peace of mind, and his accomplices, who have successfully infiltrated the upper echelons of the Free Federation at that time, have successfully dragged the most ambitious and powerful military powerhouse in the Federation except for the declining Lancarros into the quagmire of the national war, so that it cannot focus on the power struggle within the Federation.
Fortunately, in this life, because of the failure of the plague plot, the Free Council, the cancer buried by Bekaz in the Free Federation, has been uprooted, although it is not certain whether the key ghost has also been wiped out, but at least now the Free Federation, which is still dominated by the powerful Lancarus, will never do the same thing in the previous life in order to cooperate with Bekaz's wishes.
However, even so, Rococo did not believe that Beccaz would sit idly by, and in his previous life, after learning that the Holy City had requested reinforcements from the Empire and the Federation respectively, Beccaz would immediately be able to plan such a good show, so there was no reason why he could not come up with a similar trick in this life. The situation on the mainland border is complicated now, and there are not only one or two feasible ways to light a fire between the Empire and the Federation.
Thinking of this, Rococo suddenly felt that it didn't seem like a bad thing for him to take over the task of delivering the letter this time - after delivering the letter to the garrison on the federal border this time, she could take advantage of the situation to stay in the reinforcements of the federal side and act with the army, so that once Bekaz really had any tricks to provoke disputes between the empire and the federation, Rococo could also find out at the first time and intervene to interfere or even stop him as he had done in Lancarus before.
