Climbing over the barricades, Duchamp continued to remain invisible and walked inside.

This place is a terrifying place that the villagers of Almolica never dare to come to.

Duchamp walked for less than a quarter of an hour, and when he walked to the ancient battlefield, he suddenly felt that this place was more unusual than the previous time.

At night, there are many strange-shaped monsters here, or monsters are more appropriate, some of them resemble swords, some resemble armor, and some resemble stumps and broken arms, and the shape is completely different from those small animals on the periphery.

"Is it because it's night, these strange things are running out to move?" Duchamp muttered, carefully calculating the way forward, even if there is stealth, it cannot be taken lightly.

He searched for a long time, and finally found a safe place, and there was a high ridge on the road ahead, which was actually a hidden door. He didn't stir the door, and quietly climbed to the nearby mountain wall and waited for the divine soldiers to descend from heaven.

In Kasley, some of the people who had attended the joint meeting were personally invited to dinner by Cassius.

After dinner, Cassius invited everyone to visit the church next door.

Upon stepping into the Sanctuary, some of them immediately noticed that something was wrong, and the atmosphere inside was not at all like a relaxed invitation, but more like a preparation for battle.

Facing these elite of continental guerrillas, Cassius loudly declared, "Fellow citizens, tomorrow is the day of the public procession of Kasley to celebrate the fall of the Mystic Order, and tonight, we need to do one last thing. ”

"Is it for tomorrow's security? At such a moment, if there are any remnants of that group of rabbit cubs left here, then he will kill himself by showing his head. The guerrillas burst out laughing.

Indeed, at this time, Kaslai may be the place with the highest concentration of elites on the mainland.

A few minutes later, a group of elite soldiers were led by another veteran general, General Morris, the head of joint operations appointed by the president of the Calvard military and a veteran of the army. After that incident, Calvard's army was in a chaotic situation, and at a critical moment, the new cabinet brought the gray-haired veteran out and stabilized the situation with his qualifications as Polk's former boss.

General Morris waved his hand slightly, and the military leather boots behind him struck, and immediately stood in two rows.

"Cassius, according to your requirements, the elite of the military are here, and I believe that we will be able to successfully complete tomorrow's defense mission."

Cassius nodded in satisfaction and whispered, "Please stay a little longer." ”

After a while, another door of the sanctuary opened, and a group of heavily armed knights of the church entered, although they were knights, but the formation was sparse, and at first glance it was a group of arrogant fellows, led by Marvin, who said to Cassius: "All ready, just waiting for your orders, Your Excellency." ”

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cassius motioned for everyone to be silent, and said in a loud voice: "At this moment, the reason why the elites of the mainland have gathered here to mobilize everyone is to ensure that the celebration of Kasley can go smoothly tomorrow. But I'm sorry I'm hiding the truth, we people here, there are more important things to do. In order to complete the battle and truly destroy the last lair of the mysterious order. ”

"The Mystic Order still has a remnant of the lair!"

This was really explosive news, and the elites couldn't help but whisper about it, and even the guys from the army couldn't help but exchange a few glances with each other.

"Hahaha!" An elderly guerrilla suddenly burst into hearty laughter. "I knew you had something to hide from us, and I always felt that your expression didn't look so relaxed."

Cassius explained loudly to the crowd, "Actually, tonight is the last battle to destroy the Mystic Order. Their headquarters, we have long had the information, but we have not launched an attack, but have deliberately made a paralyzing posture, the intention is to make them think that it has not been discovered, so that the remnants of the extermination can escape there. At the same time, we also learned that there is a more dangerous existence in its lair than other strongholds, if we can't mobilize so many elites, we really can't be sure to destroy them in one fell swoop, but if we use so many people by conventional means, I'm afraid they would have guessed our actions a long time ago. Now, in the name of the commander-in-chief, I would like to declare that all of you present here will not act alone, in violation of the action plan, or transmit any information to the outside world until the end of the operation. ”

"Cassius, of course we can be disciplined, but please unravel the mystery quickly." The elites present shouted one after another. The people who were summoned here all boasted of being strong. After a brief heaviness, there was an atmosphere of excitement in the hall, which quickly spread.

Satisfied with the crowd's performance, Cassius opened a map and explained: "Tonight we are going to operate on two of their strongholds, which are very close to each other, and one of them must be their headquarters, and their last stronghold that we know of. ”

The old general pointed to the map and said in amazement: "It's incredible that it's there, no, this should be expected, but we didn't think carefully enough, and our vision was not wide enough." ”

Cassius continued to assign tasks: "Distribute the battle plan below, and all the men will quickly divide into two teams according to the plan. ”

When everyone opened the battle plan, the first line written in it was very surprising, it said: The priest will command the operation.

The crowd couldn't help but look at the priests, who had divided into two teams as instructed.

Although full of doubts, this group of people were extremely well-educated warriors, and they quickly divided into two columns according to their grouping.

The men from the Calvard army were not included in the assault team, and the military personnel were sensitive to such cross-border raids, and due to the complex environment on the outskirts of the stronghold, Cassius assigned the elite of the army the task of clearing the army of any threats around the stronghold, and taking charge of answering and preventing anyone from escaping.

Priest Marvin stepped forward, and he remained the nominal commander. He first performed a sacrament, raised a hand, and said solemnly: "Before the action begins, please swear to your hearts that you will never describe the details of tonight's operation to anyone else unless you are allowed to do so." ”

And though they were doubtful, they did as they were asked.

Seeing that everyone swore according to the request, Marven showed a grateful expression, and said, "The commander of each group is waiting for everyone on the ship. Some people may not have all the equipment they have with them, and they have prepared enough weapons, ammunition and armor in the next room, please go to the next room to replenish the equipment according to their respective combat habits, and after the replenishment is completed, please return to the team quickly, follow the footsteps of the priest, board the airship, and we will directly adopt the method of air raid by air boat to smash the enemy's lair. ”

While everyone left to refill the ammunition in the next room, Cassius apologized to General Morris: "I'm very sorry, General, that such a great battle plan was concealed from you in advance. Please report this mission to the President of the Republic of Calvard after the commencement of our operation and give us the necessary support in the rear. ”

General Morris's back was straight, but there was a gloomy look on his face. "Speaking of which, I am also a professional soldier all my life, how can I mind such things as discipline and secrecy, since the emperor has been out of a person like Polk, his reputation has been discredited, and we are already grateful to have you come out to help us wipe out the Order."

Cassius continued: "Tonight's destination is the last stronghold of the Order in our possession, and hopefully the last stronghold of theirs, and perhaps we will find out where General Polk and others have not yet been discovered. ”

General Morris's hands trembled, and he suddenly turned around and said to the adjutant: "Mark, report to the president about tonight's operation, and leave it to you." ”

The adjutant was puzzled and said, "Why me?" He suddenly thought of a possibility, his face changed suddenly, and he said hurriedly: "General, you can't take risks. ”

General Morris looked resolute, and he shouted out loud, each word bursting with energy. "As Polk's former boss and the man who single-handedly promoted him, I had to ask him face to face what it was all for."

The adjutant was unmoved.

"This is against the rules, General, you should understand that you are now in the position of Minister of Defense, and without the approval of the President, you cannot go anywhere, let alone go abroad, and participate in such dangerous operations."

The beard on General Morris's face stood up, he suddenly turned around, gave a military salute to Cassius, and said word by word: "Cassius, you have been a soldier for a long time before, and you should be able to understand the consciousness of a soldier, and an old man like me can't even meet such a request?" ”

Cassius looked at the old general's sideburns, and it was really difficult to refuse, so he had to persuade him tactfully: "We are not sure that we will be able to find Polk, and besides, it is very dangerous there, so you should stay in the rear." If we find Polk, we'll bring him to you again. ”

General Maurice looked at Cassius and said sternly: "How can a soldier lie!" I've heard that they are a bunch of lunatics who commit suicide or kill themselves if they don't resist. If Polk was really there, even if he was going to kill himself, I would have to ask him first, or I wouldn't be able to die. ”

Cassius looked at General Morris in embarrassment, and he felt the great fluctuation of will and unshakable determination of the old general. After weighing it in his heart for a long time, he had no choice but to say, "Then you can act with me, and once there is news of General Polk, it will come immediately." ”

Seeing that the old general's will was unshakable, the adjutant put his feet together, gave a military salute, and said with an expressionless face: "According to military law, when the chief general is in danger, the adjutant must not leave his side. Since you insist on going and report to the president, please appoint someone else. ”
