Grand Duke Yuan Ye was satisfied to see that everyone present had reached an agreement, and then continued: "The old man has asked Jing Yuanming to go to the nearest city to conduct reconnaissance, and I believe that the necessary information will be obtained by tomorrow at the latest. ”

"So the old man hereby orders!"

When everyone heard this, they all gathered their expressions on their faces, became serious and solemn, and all of them stood up, without any more nonsense. The solemn atmosphere is pressed down like a mountain.

"From now on, the expeditionary force will enter a state of first-class combat readiness, and the whole army will be ready for battle. Wait until the scout intelligence is sent back, and attack immediately! ”

"The first, second, and fifth divisions of the original kingdom maintained their original formations, and marched forward in formation...... The witchers of the alliance formed their own teams and scattered and rolled forward. ”

These were all plans that had already been agreed upon by everyone present, but at this time, the Supreme Commander Grand Duke Yuan Ye announced it again, so everyone agreed and took the order.

Soon, all the people who received the order were ordered to leave one by one, and only Chen Lina and Fan Li were finally left in the huge conference hall.

Grand Duke Yuan Ye looked at them: "Originally, there was no place for you two teenagers in this expeditionary force, so there was no pre-arranged mission. ”

"I'm fine, I've passed the assessment." Chen Lina said. The assessment she is talking about is the "final assessment" for newcomers within the Lionheart, which can be said to be the highest level of rigor among all studios in the league, even if many official witchers may not be able to pass.

"I'm a teacher, right?" Fan Li scratched his head, but his tone was full of uncertainty. In fact, he ran out of the forest of thorns by himself, but he just escaped the encirclement and interception of a group of "senior brothers", and I don't know if it was an assessment set by Jing Yuanming.

"These old men know it, but there is no place for you on the frontline battlefield this time." Grand Duke of the Plains said, "Don't worry, you are now in the reserve......"

The old man suddenly showed a cold and resolute smile: "Hehe, this war ...... The reserves definitely have a chance to play...... I just hope that you will be able to appear as late as possible. ”

"Also, if the battle situation is not going well and the whole army needs to retreat to the human realm, your reserve team must be in charge of the queen of the palace." The Grand Duke of the Wilderness pointed to the map of the Remnant Sun Realm hanging behind him, "It's not just to block the pursuit of demons, it's to break off the rear of the army. Rather, it was more thorough, receiving all the members of the expeditionary force to flee back to the human realm. ”

"As you should all know, the insurance cover for this expedition - we have requisitioned all the passages known to the human realm to the two realms as retreats. Once someone is scattered, or even the whole army is defeated, then it is necessary for them to go to the nearest passage and withdraw to the human realm on their own. ”

"But honestly, the probability of success of this method of escape ...... Very low. Not all of us have the ability and the good luck. ”

Fan Li touched the disguised demon horn in his pocket, and suddenly thought to himself: "Do you want us to stay in the demon realm, show the way to those lost demon hunters, and lead them to find the portal?" ”

"Yes," Grand Duke Yuan Ye looked at them with satisfaction, "It's really good news that you two have crossed the Remnant Sun Realm!" So you must accept this task. ”

"Who else is in the reserves?" Chen Lina still seemed to be a little unwilling and wanted to struggle a little more.

Grand Duke of the Plains took out a stack of documents: "Because of the betrayers of the Dark Star, a lot of information about our demon hunters has been mastered by the Remnant Sun Realm, so it is difficult for any well-known demon hunter to lurk here to carry out tasks. The reserve team is made up of powerful but relatively unknown witchers, and newcomers like you who haven't made a name for themselves yet......"

"For example, the next little saintess of the Dawn Association, and the personal disciples of the Holy Prophet." Grand Duke Yuanye deliberately proposed these two in order to appease Chen Lina's emotions.

Because these two are geniuses at the same level as Chen Lina, they are both in the reserve, and Chen Lina has no reason to refuse anyway.

"In the end, we still didn't ask about the information about the Remnant Sun Realm." On the way out of the conference room, Chen Lina was still angry.

Fan Li asked in surprise, "Do you really think that the Duke will need our information?" ”

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Lina with a shocked look - although her temper and personality are a little bad, but now she looks like a pretty cute girl.

"Hey, what do you mean by that? And what about your eyes? Laugh at me again! Sure enough, the girl became angry.

Fan Li didn't dare to provoke any more, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Okay, okay, let's go back and have a good rest...... Staying in the demon pile these days, I haven't slept a good night! We don't need to play right away, but we probably won't have a chance to rest tomorrow. ”

Chen Lina also knew this very well, so she said goodbye to Fan Li and walked to the girls' camp alone.

"Your Highness?" Chen Lina turned her head to look at the western sky, the remnant sun that never sets, "Maybe there will be a chance to meet him again." ”

In the early morning of January 26, 1180.

Due to the special environment of the Remnant Sun Realm, there is no so-called day and night here. But the demon hunters of the expeditionary force still distinguished time and night according to their original habits.

Theoretically, this is the time when people sleep most soundly in the middle of the night, but the biological clock of the witchers has long been trained beyond recognition. Now is the time when they are at their most energetic - in the process of carrying out their tasks.

Jing Yuanming led one of his teams to separate from the Axe King and them halfway, and it was on the orders of the Grand Duke of the Plains that he went to the nearest city, the border fortress town "Drew", to conduct reconnaissance in advance. If nothing else, this is the first target of the expeditionary force!

Quasi-militarized fortress cities are certainly a tough nut to crack, but with the absolute strength advantage of the expeditionary force, it is not much of a difficulty.

Normally, the ruler of such a city, or the strongest one, is a demon ruler if he dies...... And it's more likely that there was actually only one captain.

With a demon of that level, Jing Yuanming was confident that he could sneak in and assassinate the leader of the demon by himself.

You don't even need the cooperation of the army, as long as you scatter all the nine thousand demon hunters into the battlefield, you can take that city in less than half a day.

The only thing to watch out for is time – it's a matter of seconds!

Because this is the Demon Realm, everything around is the enemy of the expeditionary force.

Although this area is remote and empty, there are at least five cities around Drew City that are within half a day's journey!

In other words, if you don't count the space teleportation technology and high-speed corps, it will only take half a day at the latest, and reinforcements will arrive. Next will be an endless army of demons......

At that time, the expeditionary force fighting away will fall into an absolute numerical disadvantage. In the end, he was completely drowned in the "vast sea of the war of human names" of the demons!

So time is of the essence! It must be like the mysterious demon king's army that blitzed the city of fire, and use the fastest wave of attacks to take down the city of Drew, and rob its guardian ancestor.

Then, before the demon's reinforcements arrived, they took the initiative to evacuate, leaving them with a ruin that turned into a sea of fire!

It is even possible to set up an ambush to come to a siege point to send reinforcements and annihilate several demon legions that rushed to support.

What's more, if it is done properly, you can take advantage of the fact that the surrounding cities send troops to rescue and their own garrisons are empty, and then take down one or two more cities!

So at the end of the day, time is the most important thing. The lion and the rabbit should also do their best, and the shorter the time to resolve the battle, the more beneficial it will be for the expeditionary force.

And this investigation of Jing Kite is directly related to this crucial "time"!

In the distance, you can already see the city walls. Jing Yuanming told the team to disperse their actions, each of them trying to find a way to enter the city to investigate, or to scout outside the city for external intelligence.

Jing Yuanming's subordinates are all experienced and powerful senior witchers, specializing in stealth and assassination. So there's no need to worry about whether they can blend in smoothly.

It was only because it was not clear what strange and unexpected means of defense the demon would have, which made Jing Yuanming a little cautious.

Otherwise, he could have relied on his disguise and swaggered in through the city gate with his team! Where is it necessary to disperse actions so cautiously?

The city ...... It's too quiet.
