560. This is a subtle tactic on Earth
As the focus of Nevisel's condition, it seems that he is not bad at this time? Although she still hadn't woken up, at least the expression on her face was no longer so painful, it looked like she was asleep, the tent she was in had been reinforced into a makeshift bunker, with various magic circles painted on the walls on all sides, and her body was suspended on a large magic circle made in reference to the angelic summoning array, which was the key to compressing her strength and soul.
Directly above her was the soul container that the alchemist had made for her, and the prayer-bead-like power container surrounded the special space opened up by the god of war, absorbing her overflowing power little by little from that space.
It looked like they were dealing with some great human weapon, and it was impossible for ordinary people to get in except for the scholars who kept the system running, like Radicia and Artie, who came to see her every day, could only look at her from a distance outside the bunker.
According to the mage's preliminary estimate, it will take about ten days to complete the initial containment of her consciousness, and as long as the church has not launched an attack by then, they can take Nevisel back to the academy plane, and the so-called divine punishment can only punish the air.
Unfortunately, only three days later, the Pope received another oracle, the simple content of which was that the angel would come in three days; On this day, the Church completed its final preparations for war, and with the support of the Church's own army and the support of nobles from all over the country, an army of 120,000 people had been assembled, and the food and grass supplies were ready, and no one could stop the Church from launching an offensive.
The next day, the Church Army began to assemble through the teleportation array to the nearest small city to Afen City, which was only about half a day's journey from Afen City, and was the most suitable base for advancement.
"There are really a lot of people..."The magician looked at the latest information sent by the shadows, and muttered in a low voice, looking not too nervous, but the face of Tisgaard beside him was full of worry, after all, all his combat strength, including those who were still on the way to reinforcements, were only more than 10,000 people, most of them were private soldiers brought by Vidnina's father, mixed with some border guards on the northern border.
With a difference of twelve to one, coupled with the help of a powerful angel, even though Tisgar is very confident in the strength of the Void Walker, he is still a little weak-hearted, and the teacher is not there...
"Garr, this war will show you that numbers are not the decisive factor." The magician calmly comforted, "But it's a bit unexpected that the church can find so many people and complete the assembly and preparation in just two weeks. ”
"After all, it's such a huge organization, and if you go all out, the efficiency is really amazing, especially with the cooperation of the Mage Association... Originally, they didn't cooperate very much, but then they didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly they fully cooperated with the church regardless of the cost, and used the mobility of the teleportation array to help the church complete the preparations..."Tisgaard said, "But I remember that Vice President Grant, who is in charge of controlling the teleportation array, is biased towards us, has anything happened during this time?" ”
"It seems that this is what he calls a concession..."The magician muttered, in fact, he had received several secret letters from Grant these days, mainly informing him of the progress of the construction of the secret teleportation array, and by the way, in order to secretly use those manpower and materials, he had to keep a low profile, and made great concessions in the power struggle, making people mistakenly think that he had no intention of competing for the chairman's throne.
In exchange for these concessions, the Church completed the assembly and preparation with an unimaginable speed, and also allowed the Voidwalkers to have a hidden teleportation array that directly led to the Arti Clan, allowing the steppe cavalry who had also completed the assembly to be airborne to Afen City in an instant.
However, the magician was not in a hurry to get Arti's men over, and in the early days of the war, he did not need this enemy's unexpected mobile combat force.
"Go, follow me up to the wall." As he spoke, the magician led Tysgaard to the not-so-high walls of Afen City, where the defenders had all been replaced by the private soldiers of the Grand Duke of the North, and bowed respectfully when they saw the two.
The Grand Duke of the North did not come in person due to physical reasons, but just sent people over, and the command was handed over to Vidnina, who changed hands and handed it over to the magician, so these private soldiers knew that the soul armor in front of them, which looked like a leader, was the next supreme commander.
However, they did not have any hope of victory, and through some scattered news, most of them knew that the Church's military strength was several times that of their own, panic and unease had been quietly spreading, and private discussions about escape were repeatedly banned, and many people wrote suicide notes and letters to their families asking them to prepare for the exchange of prisoners' ransoms, and it seemed that they were ready to sacrifice and be captured.
Fortunately, the prison guards who came with the army were harsh enough, otherwise there would have been deserters long ago, right?
The magician saw this situation, but he was not in a hurry.
Refusing to be accompanied by the soldiers, the magician led Tisgaard to the highest tower and pulled a violin out of his storage bag.
"Grandpa, what do you want?" Tisgaard asked, a little confused.
"Calm the morale of the army and boost morale." The magician replied, "This is what I learned from Earth, and the High Commander plays the harp on the tower to show his inner peace, not only to reassure his army, but even to scare off the enemy. ”
"That's a subtle tactic designed by an excellent military advisor, I also admire that person very much, he is very wise and close to demons, and he is also very good at scolding, even after becoming a heroic spirit, he is very powerful, he can do whatever he wants, and he recommends the Five Treasures."
"Huh? Didn't you write that in the book? "Tisgar actually knew about the military advisor in the mouth of the magician from the earth books that Bai Yi brought back, but what about scolding people and heroic spirits?" And it shouldn't be this kind of harp, right? ”
"Don't worry about the details, focus on the form and process." The magician continued to take care of himself: "Jia'er, don't look at my life of fighting in the north and south, but I am actually not very good at appeasing the morale of the army, because as long as I appeared there, the soldiers did not need any pacification and encouragement. ”
As he spoke, he set up the violin and played it in a similar way, and the sound of playing cotton came from the tall towers, and it spread throughout the city through amplification magic.
The defenders panicked, thinking that some monster had appeared in the city...
It wasn't until the overwhelmed Voidwalkers rushed up the tower that the noise was forced to stop.
