Chapter 310: Talent and Refugees
Southern theater of operations, command camp.
The Mana Node exudes a strong magical power, and a group of Mona with some monsters are stationed around the Mana Node. A little further away from the mana node are a few houses and a few tarpaulin-clothed supplies.
In one of the cabins, Green was sitting at a conference table, looking at a map of the kingdom on the table.
"The Royal Legion is the three major legions of Iron Wall, Sky Bow, and Meteorite, as well as the newly formed Flying Demon Guide Legion." Green placed the four chess pieces a little south of the Great Wall of Ray Eddy, and then looked down at a notebook on the table, "The garrison of the Great Wall under the command of Grand Duke Ray Eddy is about 40,000, and there are two fleets stationed on the east and west coasts ...... respectively."
Green placed the chess pieces symbolizing the strength of the Kingdom of Northbod on the map, assessing the enemy's strength after the outbreak of war.
In Green's opinion, if the enemy is only one of the Northboy Kingdom, even if there is no way to take the Great Wall of Rui Eddy for the time being, his own advantage is still very large, but ......
Green's gaze looked to the east. The frost giants and cloud giants on the Frost and Snow Fang Mountains may not be too concerned, as a cloud race, they are difficult to adapt to the low-altitude environment, just like the sea tribes in the ocean do not like to go ashore, but those elves on the other side of the Frost and Snow Fang Mountains cannot be ignored - Green has not forgotten that the "Ice Sage" Refia, who has researched the method of purifying the monster's lair, is an elf.
Obviously, the elves had been very low-key, but they weren't unprepared. Green had a hunch that if the war began, those elves would most likely "surprise" him!
"Elf...... There's so little information. Green's finger tapped on the map. As for the intelligence of the Northboy Kingdom, Green has basically studied it thoroughly, but for the intelligence of the Eastern United Kingdom, Green is still on the surface.
At this moment, the "Black Wing Witch" Asine appeared at the door.
"Master." The winged royal sister knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute of the winged people.
"Get up." Green raised his hand at As-Yin.
As-Yin stood up.
Greene: "You've fought against the United Kingdom of the East, haven't you?" So do you know the military situation of the Eastern United Kingdom? ”
"The United Kingdom of the East, though it claims to be 'united', is in fact dominated by elves with long ears. Those terrifying elven marksmen and Pegasus knights have always been a nightmare for the Orc Tribal Alliance! "I don't know how many troops there are in the whole United Kingdom. For a long time, the number of troops confronting the tribal alliance was not large, about 30,000 troops, but during the Second Storm War, the Eastern United Kingdom once mobilized about 100,000 troops! These include 20,000 elven Pegasus knights and 10,000 elven marksmen, 20,000 dwarven heavy warriors, and more than 1,000 ancient war trees, in addition to human airships, a large number of forest centaurs, halfling assassins, and more. ”
Ashin described to Green a scene from the war.
It was a war of great proportions. The elven druids quelled the storm guarding the fortress, the orc air rangers and the elven pegasus knights strangled in the air, the archers' arrows rained down the walls, the boulders threw boulders from the ancient trees of war bombarded the gates, the dwarves tried to storm the walls with their shields on their heads, but the deadliest were the assassins who sneaked into the fortress in advance!
“…… If it weren't for the last-minute charge, when the Ranger Commander-in-Chief led the charge and destroyed those druids' spells with his own life, Storm Fortress would have changed owners by now. ”
After listening to Asyin's words, Green thought for a while: "If the Eastern United Kingdom attacks us, what should we do?" ”
Asine glanced at Green strangely: "'Exchange space for local advantage, and exchange the numerical advantage of monsters for the enemy's living force', isn't this the strategy you once set?" Elves have a long lifespan, and the long lifespan allows each elf to have enough time to train, and every adult elf is an excellent forest warrior, but their number is hard, and once there are too many casualties, they can only choose to retreat. ”
"We can't trade space for local advantage. What the 'former queen' said before was true, those elves have mastered a way to get troops from their lairs just like we do! ”
Hearing Green's words, Ace Yin frowned: "...... With the power we currently have, we can't resist those elves on the frontal battlefield. ”
"If you just face it, the regular army of the Kingdom of Northbod alone is enough for us to eat a pot." Green pointed to the guide, "Of course, to fight a war, you have to attack the enemy's weak points!" By accumulating advantages, we can gain a strategic advantage and ultimately win. ”
Asine thought for a while, and finally gave up: "...... Sorry master. If there is to be a war, just command! A Siyin said that she is not good at using her brain!
Greene: "...... All right. I'll talk to Phylix about it later. ”
Green stared at the map in front of him and continued to think. If the enemy is only the Kingdom of Northbod, this battle can still be fought, but if you add the more powerful Eastern United Kingdom, this game will not be playable!
Headache...... How to play this game?
Just when Grimm had a headache, a Mona suddenly ran in.
"Mona! ~" Mona saluted Grimm.
Greene: "What's the matter?" ”
"Mona Mona Mona~"
A Siyin's expression on the side changed slightly.
Green raised his eyebrows, and an expression of interest flashed in his eyes: "Oh? Found a human refugee by the sea? ”
Mona: "Mona! ”
"Interesting, take me over to see it." Green decided to put down his work for the time being, go out for a walk, and change his mood.
Green summoned As-Yin, rode the Storm Hawk, and went to the beach with Mona, who had reported the situation.
On the beach, there are a lot of planks and debris washed up on the beach. Mona, riding a storm eagle, was standing on the beach, watching a woman lying on the beach.
The woman seemed to be in a coma, and the Monas had no intention of going up to save them.
Seeing Grimm appear, Mona hurriedly saluted Grimm: "Mona! ~”
Green rode the Storm Eagle and stopped directly on the beach.
"Huh? This woman ......," Green looked down at the unconscious woman on the beach, "I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”
Green thought for a moment, jumped off the storm hawk, walked over and turned the woman over, taking a closer look at her face.
Suddenly, a subtle expression appeared on Green's face: "She seems to be the president of the Royal Mage Guild of that kingdom?" ”
How did she end up here?
The situation in front of him was a little difficult for Green to understand. The president of the Royal Mage Guild, who did not stay in the capital, but ran away to be a victim on the beach thousands of miles away? Do you think this is playing the Don't Starve shipwreck version at home?
Completely incomprehensible!
But that didn't stop Green from converting her to a demon - if Grimm remembers correctly, this woman was the former president of the Mage Guild! Big shot! And he is also the most desired scientific research talent now! Could it be that God saw that my game was too difficult, so he deliberately sent me a talent so that I could speed up my research?
The talents sent to the door, don't be in vain.
Green decisively used chaos magic to invade the other party's body, and soon, the female president in front of him, who looked a little chubby, opened her eyes.
"Yo~ Can you ask why you're here?" Green looked down at the female president in front of him.
The female president's expression changed slightly, and then she seemed to think of something: "...... Did you save me? ”
"Well, yes. Did something happen to you? ”
The chairwoman sat up and looked around. When she noticed the "Blackwing Witch" not far away and Mona sitting on top of Storm Hawk, the expression on her face finally changed!
"You're demons!?" The female president was startled, rolled over, and stood up.
"We are the ones who save you." Green smiled slightly, "By the way, I would like to remind you, you have also become a demon now." ”
The expression on the female president's face changed slightly: "You...... What have you done to me? ”
"Didn't do anything, just saved you. Because your situation at the time was quite bad, in order to save you, I easily transformed you into a demon. Green said with a smile.
Looking at Green's smiling face, the female president's expression became gloomy: "You...... Who exactly!? ”
“…… You haven't answered my question yet, why are you here? ”
The female president stared at Green tightly: "Who are you?" Why do I feel as if I've seen you somewhere! ”
Green put away his smile and sighed, "Can't you people understand the situation?" You have to force me to use 'commands.'" ”
Seeing Green's expression, the female president couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in her heart.
Green's expression became serious: "To answer my question: why are you here?" ”
"I was attacked by the Kingdom's airship troops, and the airship I was riding in was destroyed and I fell into the sea." The chairwoman answered Green's question, but her face was terrified!
Greene: "Why did the Kingdom Airship attack you?" ”
"I don't know."
After some questioning, Green finally figured out why the woman in front of him was here. To put it simply: this woman was promoted by Queen Rhea, and after the new king ascended the throne, this woman was naturally kicked out of the center of power. When this woman was about to leave the kingdom, she was suddenly attacked by the kingdom's airship troops - as for the reasons for this, Green could think of several in an instant!
"I'm not interested in knowing why you were hunted down by the king, but I think you should understand your situation by now, right?" Green looked at the woman in front of him with a smile.
The female president was silent for a while: "...... Is that how you took control of the Queen? ”
"Please don't say it so badly. We just want to live in peace with the Kingdom. ”
The female president gritted her teeth: "...... What do you want me to do? ”
"We've always admired talented people, so we hope you'll join us and build our home together!"
Hearing Green's words, the female president finally calmed down. I...... Is it still useful? This is good news.
The female president squinted her eyes and thought for a moment: "Yes." But I want to see my kids! ”
Green was stunned for a moment: "Your child? ”
Seeing Green's expression, the female president couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart: "Didn't you see them? I was with them when I fell into the sea! ”
Green squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then turned his head and looked at the black-winged girl on the side: "Ah Siyin, have there been other victims on the beach recently?" ”
Asine was silent for a while: "Yes." ”
"Where are they?"
As-Yin: "Dead. The body was buried. ”
Hearing Ah Siyin's words, the female president was stunned for a moment, and instantly went crazy: "This is impossible!" You lied to me! Saying that, the female president rushed towards Asine excitedly!
Facing the woman who rushed towards her, Ah Siyin turned sideways and knocked her to the ground with a direct punch!
Green glanced at the woman on the ground, turned to Asine and ordered, "Dig up the body!" I'll see if I can be resurrected. ”
What Green needs is a talent with brains, not a puppet who can only follow orders! Therefore, Green doesn't mind paying a little more in order to win over this "former president of the Royal Mage Guild".
