Horace. Count Ekrio looked in the direction of the middle of the forest, as the fog slowly thinned, the outline of Trasil, the bud of the World Tree, gradually became clear, before entering this forest, he had been shocked by the grandeur of this towering giant tree, and now he felt the insignificance of human beings under its canopy.

"My lord, the fog seems to have lightened a lot."

Zoe. Baron Scarlet, as Count Ekrio's bodyguard, has been with him for many years, and now he is also the first to notice the changes in the surrounding environment and inform Count Ekrio, who is thinking about the battle plan in the big tent.

"That howl just now, do you know what's going on?"

Horace. Although Ecrio is an earl, he is not like Lexington. Salas was so old, and now he was just past his prime, his burly figure and handsome appearance could not hide his brilliance even among the nobles who were enthusiastic about the wind and snow, his short red hair stood on end, and the crimson armor on his body shone brighter in the direct sunlight that had become bright due to the fog.

He inherited the title of his father, who died in an accident five years ago, and is now the commander-in-chief of a legion, and his tactical prowess is unreproachful, even though he is often referred to as a "bull" by his colleagues and enemies.

"Report to your lordship, it's not clear, but there are rumors from the soldiers that it was a warning from the god of fog."

"The god of fog?"

Count Akerio had heard the hunters of Astor talk about the god of fog in the Misty Forest, but now that the gods were long gone, he didn't believe this rumor at all, and only thought it was a demagogic rumor from the cowards of Asther.

"This world has long been abandoned by the gods, only human beings are the gods who control their own destiny, Zoe, if I hear this kind of remarks again in the future, you will pack up my things and go back to your hometown directly!"

"Yes, yes, sir."

Baron Scarlet, who had followed Count Ekrio for many years, naturally knew that this was not a matter of anger, so he could only keep his mouth shut and stop talking about the god of fog.

"I'll let the scouts find out...... But, my lord, for whatever reason, wouldn't it be quite beneficial to us if the fog dissipated? ”

Changing the topic, Baron Scarlett knew that the Wendland army was currently in a dilemma, on the one hand, the troops on other fronts had achieved great victories, while the 7th Mobile Panzer Division, as the vanguard, had not established a battle for a long time, which made Count Ekrio quite embarrassed, on the other hand, Asterl's gang of northern rangers were treacherous and cunning, using the fog and complex terrain of this misty forest as a cover, so that the Wendland army could not advance half a step, and it was a headache for everyone.

"How?"

Count Ekrio raised an eyebrow and glanced at Baron Scarlett beside him out of the corner of his eye.

"We were often attacked by Aster's guerrillas because of the fog, but now the fog has not completely faded, but the vision is much better than before, and I think it is a good time for us to attack."

Baron Scarlett knew that Count Ekrio had already known about it, but he still spoke up with it.

"That's true, but Zoe, you can think of that, then Aster's side, Vera Hill. Couldn't that Stas guy think of that? ”

Count Ekrio spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Trashir, the sprout of the towering World Tree.

"Somehow to thin the fog for a while, and then reduce the fog when we think it's a good time to attack, so that Wendland's army can be routed in one fell swoop, and if I were the commander on the other side, I would have adopted this strategy."

"This ...... It's the subordinates who don't think about it. ”

Baron Scarlett was speechless for a moment, although he knew that his boss was not a reckless man who could only make rapid progress as the outside world rumored, but he had never expected to think so far-reaching.

"So what do you mean, Shogun?"

"If Astor thinks so, then they will definitely come out of the nest and use all their military strength against us, in other words, if we attack, we will probably encounter not the annoying guerrilla force like mosquitoes, but probably the main force of Aster."

Count Ekrio's fingers tapped lightly on the hilt of the sword at his waist and continued.

"The Asterian army can't delay too long, the old fox of Salas has already invaded the Mordred Plateau, as long as he outflanks the northwest of the Misty Forest, then the Asterians will definitely evacuate this forest, of course, if it is really reduced to the point that it is necessary to rely on the help of others to defeat the enemy, then I Horace. Ekrio has no intention of leading troops in the future. ”

"What your lord said is very true."

The battle situation has been obvious, the results of the battle of the Wendland army on the Eastern Front have not had much impact on the entire battle situation, it is only a matter of time and personal honor, but Baron Scarlett knows that these are the two most important issues for his immediate superiors.

"Astor cunning scoundrel, if you want to lure me into a trap, then I will do it."

Count Ekrio looked away from the World Tree Sprouts and into the station in front of him.

It was a clearing forcibly carved out of the misty forest, and the trees that had grown for a hundred years had been cut down and replaced by tens of thousands of tents and the Wendland soldiers walking among them, each with a resolute expression on their faces, waiting to die for the country and establish glory.

"We pretend to be in the middle of the plan, send a part of the army to attack, and the other army is scattered on both flanks, detouring the enemy's rear, and when the fools of Astor show their fangs, we will outflank and wipe out the assembled Astor army, since they want to play conspiracy, then I will play with them."

Baron Scarlett couldn't help but think of the count's previous record when he saw Count Ekrio's cruel smile.

At the age of sixteen, he single-handedly fought six adult bandits and killed them all, and at the age of twenty-two, he graduated from the military academy with excellent grades in all subjects and entered the army, and after inheriting the name of the earl, he participated in several battles to suppress internal rebellions.

Moreover, Count Ekrio has the strength of the golden middle rank at the age of thirty, and he is also a gifted person in the world, and among the generals of Astle, there is only the kingdom. The Supreme Commander of the Army, Richard. Livias and the commander of the Northern Rangers, Vera Hill. Strass can be compared to it.

is such a fierce general, and now he has a superhuman strategy, Baron Scarlett couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he looked at the smile of Count Ekrio.

Looks like the guys at Astel are going to be out of luck.
