The three southwestern countries of the Shang League, Kaman, Mosat and Tra, are not large in size, but they have a fertile land that is rare in the Shang League, and the terrain is dominated by the intersection of the remaining veins of the Sunset Mountain and the hilly area.

King Lucius chose this place, naturally for his reasons, at least from Xiao Mu's point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. If the war is unfavorable, the three southwestern regions with food, transportation, minerals and fortresses are the best choice for the nobles of each country to take refuge.

But unexpectedly, as soon as King Lucius's policy was proposed, it was immediately opposed by all the nobles present. King Manning stood up angrily and shouted, "King Lucius, do you mean that our army has shed blood and died on the front line, but you want to take our army to the three southwestern countries to run the last base, and we, the nobles, will give up our ancestral property, land and country and take refuge in other countries?"

King Lucius's face was a little ugly, "I'm just elaborating on a plan. King Manning, don't forget, next to Manning is our White Harbor Country, and we are the first to bear the brunt of the war, or are you confident that you can keep the Desiks out of Verdun 100 percent?"

"This ......," King Manning had nothing to say.

"King Lucius", King Carlin stood up on the side, "No matter what, the nobles of our Kingdom of Carlin will never abandon our land, even if we fight to the last man, we will not leave Carlin!"

King Lucius shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Well, this is just my suggestion, then at least, this plan can be used as a backup." If the case of what I said really happens. ”

After another full day of discussion, the business alliance leader ~ Xi Hui finally came up with a follow-up charter. On the basis of the proposal of Lucius, the king of White Harbor, the Shang Alliance mobilized most of the troops at hand and went to the Verdun Line, and at the same time urged General Guo Lao on the Western Front to destroy the invading Steppenwolf cavalry as soon as possible. As for King Lucius's final proposal, they allowed the Duchy of Carman, Mosat, and Tra to build some fortifications in dangerous places on the border of the three kingdoms, in case of emergency, and the New Sixth Army must also be transferred to the Manning front at the first time.

In order to coordinate the armies of various countries, the Lord of the Business Alliance~ decided to establish the command organization of the General Staff Headquarters of the Business Alliance, and the General Staff Headquarters became the highest command body of the Business Alliance on the Second Continental Battlefield. The chief of staff was General Etienne of the Eastern Front, General Guo Lao of the Western Front was the deputy chief, and the senior generals of various countries formed a staff committee responsible for formulating the battle plan. Xiao Mu was given the task of organizing the civil forces of the three southwestern countries and raising military funds.

Under the commotion, the business alliance leader ~ the meeting finally ended.

Xiao Mu will return to Kaman as soon as possible, where the Principality of Kaman, which is closest to Manning, will become the transshipment base for military supplies in the three southwestern countries, and Xiao Mu is now half of the logistics chief of the Shang Alliance's army. And the General Staff Headquarters will move forward to the Verdun Line, the entire Shang Alliance will move, a large number of troops are gathering in the northeast direction, and Koster, he will go to the Kaman border to join the New Sixth Army, where Feida and Rika, as well as Kaka, are waiting for their arrival.

"General Calvin is getting old, get ready, I'm likely to need you to take over the New Sixth Army. Before leaving, Xiao Mu explained this task to Kester, which made Kester frightened for a long time.

At the same time that the Lord of the Business Alliance~ Xi will convene this military meeting related to the process of the Second Continental War, in the mysterious castle in San Jose, a group of men in black from the Dark Rising Organization are also gathering.

The blue pentagram unleashed an eerie glow on the floor of the castle hall, and five blazing blue torches were at the apex of the pentagram. The Patriarch, who was capped with a black smock, knelt on a high platform and was greeted by the members of the lower heads.

"Good day to the Patriarch!", "Good day to the congregation!"

The patriarch on the stage, his whole body hidden in black, asked everyone in a deep voice, "How is the war going in the north?"

A man in black came up and walked into the center of the pentagram to stand, "Arthur, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, personally helped the Desik to attack the Shang Alliance, and our first step plan has been completed." The Northern Protector ~ Dharma takes the overall situation as the priority and maintains neutrality on this matter. The research of the Oriental Protector ~ failed, and his lover died in the experiment. However, in the report submitted to us by the Eastern Protector~, he will not stop the research of the four evil beasts, and although Halpier has confirmed that it is not feasible, according to him, both Alcmene and Amut are expected to succeed. ”

"Well, let Blake continue, the four evil beasts will be of great use to our plans in San Jose of the East, and we will fully support him. ”

"Good Patriarch. The Southern Protector~Dharma and the Western Protector~, they are both continuing to carry out their own plans, and their main work is to infiltrate the merchant alliance army, especially the Southern Protector~Fran, she reported that she already has a new plan in Manning City. The Western Protector ~ is currently staying in the Sunset Mountains, and he will cooperate with the actions of the Black Dragon Society to meet the Desik army on the Sunset Mountains. ”

"Hmm" The Patriarch nodded, and suddenly looked back at the other man in black next to him, "Ebill, the matter of San Jose needs to be hurried, Benin is already alert to our actions here." In the future, I predict that the Business Alliance should send diplomats, and we must prevent the alliance from being reached. ”

After thinking about it again, the Patriarch continued to instruct the congregation below, "On the Northern Protector~Dharma side, I will ask Master Lan Lan to personally write and inquire, so that as long as he can remain neutral, it will not affect our plans in Deshik." Now that Edward doesn't realize that his actions are controlled by us, and we can't give him a chance to wake up, I think we need to puppet him if necessary. This matter, the Northern Protector ~ Dharma will definitely not allow it, so there is no need to let him know, let the Southern Protector ~ Franlan Master do it himself. ”

After the congregation had finished the matter, and after the congregation had bowed to the Patriarch again, the Patriarch waved his hands, and the blue torches at the apex of the pentagram were extinguished one by one, and the pentagram dimmed. The Patriarch turned and left the castle hall with the mage named Ebier. A dizzy light flashed, and the two of them had already come outside, and the Red Fort City not far away was in front of them. The two of them also took off their black robes, put on white robes again, and headed for Red Keep City.

"Bill, bear with us a little longer, and our plan is about to succeed, and this project, which has lasted for a hundred years and generations, has finally entered the stage of practical operation. Ivan Manor, probably we won't come back again. The Patriarch suddenly sighed.

"Yes, Patriarch, the operation in the north and the west has begun, and now it's up to us to do so. Ebill bowed in reply.

Xiao Mu left Manning City first, and Kest was about to stay for a day, leaving the Kaman Embassy, and Kest headed for the tower in the city. Babel Tower, once again seeing this majestic building, Koster was touched. Back then, he was still a stunned young man who didn't know anything, and when he was brought into the Adventurers' Guild by Green, everything seemed so new.

However, the Adventurers' Guild is no longer what it used to be. The lower three floors of the Adventurer's Guild were originally the Adventure Merchandise Trading Lobby and the Quest Release Center. Perhaps due to the impact of the war, there are very few adventurers here, and the shops that were originally crowded are basically closed, and on the wall panels of the mission hall, most of the tasks are escorts and escorts, and it seems that the nobles of Manning, White Harbor and other countries hire adventurers to escort their family properties to San Jose and other places.

It seems that many nobles are not willing to share the fate of the merchant alliance.

Ascending the central float and "crunching", the machine "crunched" and carried Kerst to the upper floor of the Tower of Babel, and walked through the circular corridor to Green's office.

Gently pushing the door in, this room was still the same as the last time I came, a mess of official documents, and the walls around it were full of animal skull specimens, which were treasured by Grimm over the years.

And Green, the leader of the Adventurers' Guild Hunter Regiment, who has always been in high spirits, fell asleep at his desk with a wine bottle in his arms.

Kerst stepped forward and patted Green, who muttered a few words of his sleep and rolled over. Helpless, Kerst could only find some water, wiped Green's face, and took his wine bottle by the way.

Green, who was stimulated by the clear water thorn ~ woke up. He looked at Kerst for a long time, and his eyes gradually began to brighten up, "Oh, Caster, it's you, why did you come to Manning." ”

After a long time, Green was fully awake and learned that the Duke of Carman had come to Manning to discuss military decisions, and he looked at him helplessly, "I'll be honest with you, I'm quite frustrated when the war broke out. ”

Green's experience in White Rock convinces him that he has prevented a great conspiracy from happening. However, the truth played a joke on him. In fact, Grimm was unable to change anything, and General Kim, who had agreed to work together, also died at the hands of Emperor Desik. Since the outbreak of the war, Green, who sent all his subordinates, has been staying at the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild, and he is reluctant to take a step, and he is drunk and dreams all day long.

"Green, the Desiks are coming, you can't keep going like this. Koster reassured.

"So what", Grimm looked very frustrated, "We, the Adventurers' Guild, are responsible for capturing the dark mages of the continent. Who knew that after so many years, the darkness has risen, and this dark organization has actually taken root and grown under our noses, and now, it has also brought war. Walker, you tell me, I'm not particularly a failure. ”

"But that's not your responsibility, Green. Chester didn't know what to say, "What are you going to do after that?" ”

Green shook his head, "Probably drunk and dead here, maybe wait for the Desiks to kill them and die with them!"

Walker, who walked out of the Adventurer's Guild, felt a little lost, and a strong person like Green had become so negative, so could the prospects for this war be better?
