Chapter 234: Commendation, Demon Invasion, New Place
"I take his word for it." Angelina, who had repeatedly questioned Moriarty before, was the first to confirm: "According to the tip, something unusual has indeed happened inside the south. Previously, I suspected that the goblins had a new strategic plan, but now it is clear that the fall of the two masters has really pierced the sky. β
"Hehe, two high-levelβ" The other Northern Human City Lord also chuckled maliciously.
"The losses on the goblins are so great that there is bound to be a retaliatory move. Ladies and gentlemen, we need to be prepared. "Crete looked around.
"Let's raise the warning level to the highest level first, and all combat units will be put into combat readiness to prevent goblins from going crazy." Mrs. Hanquan built yì road.
"Agreed. In addition, the commendation of the Moriarty and Olympus squadrons should also be prepared, and the battle report of the 'beheading' of the two goblin masters will be sent out, which will help boost morale. Crete added.
"Seconded." Angelina nodded.
A few days later, after the news of the death of the two goblin high-ranking mages was confirmed through a special channel, the NATO High Command issued a report on the achievements of the "Operation North Wind" and a commendation order for "meritorious men" such as Moriarty.
Moriarty himself was directly promoted to the rank of "captain", and the Olympus squadron was expanded into a brigade at the same time. According to the prior agreement, this brigade will be directly transferred to the private guard of Earth Studio after the war, and at the same time, the City Lord's Mansion and Hockenheim Academy will still bear half of the supplies and military salaries. Of course, this is hidden for now. At the same time, Moriarty received his third level 4 spell scroll, Teleportation, as well as a permanent tax exemption for Earth Studios in Bracada.
In addition to the above bonus content. Considering that the high-level record of double killing is really brilliant, the command also gave the Olympus Brigade an additional consumption quota worth 100,000 gold coins, which can be purchased from the officials of NATO city-states Some "special goods" that are rare outside.
And after getting the "life money" issued from above, Moriarty took many of his subordinates to retreat in the camp of the Azure Mage Regiment in an unusually low-key manner, ignoring the amazement and admiration of many brother troops in the outside world for the "North Wind" and the envy and jealousy of "Olympus". During this period, only Lille came to visit once, and brought back some captured "goblin specialties".
For the next two months, the north and south sides of Bracada continued to fight in the Yongville Valley area, but there was no recurrence of the Goblin attacks that were expected. Moriarty seized the time to reorganize and expand Olympus, although at the time the personnel did not reach the size of a brigade. But at least put the shelves up first. Meantime. As the leader of the team, Moriarty also gave out a large amount of gold coins as a reward, causing his soldiers to chant "Boss is wise." "In addition, some modified magic equipment has also been assigned to the backbone mid-level and ordinary low-level who are particularly prominent. It not only improves the overall combat capability. It also further enhances the core cohesion of the team.
Furthermore. Henry, a fifth-level goblin mage, and Bruno, a magic archer of the three flowers, also officially joined Olympus as a matter of course. Of course, for such a special middle-level powerhouse, what kind of "entry agreement" did Moriarty reach with them in private. Outsiders don't know.
As for the most special and hidden "magic lamp" Gregory, under its "death force", Moriarty did not take it back into the dark lamp. Like an ordinary human uncle, Grigory appeared in front of him in such a grand manner, acting as Moriarty's special assistant. However, for some reason, no one really noticed or noticed Grigory's abnormality in the location of the NATO Command where the Great Arcane was gathered, which surprised the faintly worried Moriarty.
And just when the Bracada North and South War gradually reached a stalemate, and everyone thought that a costly, time-consuming and laborious war of attrition was inevitable, a shocking news suddenly came from the north, thus completely breaking the current chaos in the land of mages, and even breaking the pattern of the entire Antagriqi continent:
Just a few days ago, a massive space storm erupted in the Iorfo volcanic belt, which runs through the eastern part of the continent. In the storm, the once closed spatial rift was completely torn apart, and a large number of demonic creatures from the demon plane invaded Antargreqi. All the realms bordering the Iorfo Volcanic Belt, including Bracada, Erathia, Deja, and Avili, have been invaded by the Demon Legions. For a time, blood and flames spread wantonly throughout the eastern part of the continent, and countless living beings became food for demons in pain and despair.
Upon learning of the demonic invasion, the two sides in the north and south of Bukarada immediately suspended all hostile military maneuvers and quickly began a face-to-face meeting at the highest level. After less than a week of fierce quarrels, confrontations, and open and covert battles on and off the table, NATO and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia jointly issued a proclamation, deciding to permanently end the civil war, and at the same time turn their guns to unanimously confront the demonic invaders from the other plane.
It's not that the ideological consciousness of the goblin sect in the south is very high, it's actually that Antagreqi has had similar plane wars before, and even almost caused the entire mage country to die. Therefore, even if it seems that the humans in the north are currently on the front line of facing the demons, the goblins do not have the courage to really help continue to divide and split, so that the demons can attack Bracada. However, as the price of ending the war quickly, the human city-states in the north also showed the greatest sincerity, and shared the commercial rights and import and export channels that had been firmly controlled for hundreds of years with the goblins, and the final distribution ratio of rights and interests between the two sides was 6.5:3.5, which could reach the psychological limit of NATO, and also allowed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to generally complete its strategic goals and have a decent exit step.
"Mother-ruffle! said that they were going to fight, and the north and south sides fought in the dark, and the high-level masters were half dead; Say no fighting, hello, hello, hello everyone, just hook up and drink and fart! Groove, humans and little green men are really unreliable goods. β
A national war disappeared in a few days, and Guderian seemed to have some unfinished "sentimentality", and when he came to the war conference room early in the morning, he began to talk to himself.
"! The demon legions have all run to the doorstep, and they are still hairy! β
Strong man Gustav as a native of Bracada. Immediately, he was very disdainful of the "middle two" attitude of the silver-bearded dwarf who stood and spoke without backache.
"If you really want to fight, go back and sign up for the death squad directly, I heard that the command is recruiting warriors to go to the north to fight the demon's forward troops."
Seeing that Guderian was about to retort and make a fallacy, White immediately kicked over.
"Oh, don't! Our current establishment is the little guards of the 'Earth Studio', and it is only appropriate to leave the big man of the City Lord's Mansion to do such a major task as fighting demons. β
The silverbearded dwarf is also broken, but he is not really stupid, who has the time to be a martyr for Bracada to fight the demons, and how can other troops have such good benefits under the command of "Olympus".
"All here?"
At this moment, Moriarty and Clausewitz walked into the conference room together. All the officers present immediately stood and saluted. Gregory, who followed behind, leaned directly against the doorway. A bored look.
"Sit down." Moriarty, who was becoming more and more of a superior person, came to his main seat, nodded, and then said to the old werewolf on the side: "You can inform everyone of the latest situation of the demon invasion." β
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Clausewitz was clearly prepared. Immediately, a huge combat map was hung on the table in the middle of the conference room. It is densely packed with red, black, blue and other colored pens to outline lines, numbers, symbols and other marks. Instantly. Everyone's eyes were drawn to the map and they scrutinized it.
"As of the 20th of this month, there are 11 known large spatial cracks. Two of them are located in Bracada, five in Erathia, one in Deja and three in Avili. The old werewolf had a wooden whip in his hand and walked from south to north along the Iorfo Volcano belt.
"So, this demonic invasion of Erathia and Avili is the 'hardest hit area'?"
The larger and more space-time rifts, the greater the number of invading demons, and White, who was from Erathia, immediately looked solemn.
"Yes, according to reliable sources, several counties in the eastern part of Erathia have been completely reduced to 'magic areas', and external communications and communications have been cut off, and it is estimated that the local military-political order has collapsed or is close to collapse." Clausewitz pointed to the eastern part of Erathia on the map, where an extremely glaring "blood spot" had been painted with a red pen, and then he whipped upwards: "As for Avili, because the local elves have little contact with the outside world, and the mountains are blocked, it is difficult to obtain information about the battle situation. β
"I don't know how it went... Although the elves hate it, they are still good at cold arrows, and they can kill a few demon cubs somewhat. β
Guderian was not heartless after all, and when he heard that his hometown was a demonic colony second only to Erathia, his heart became heavy.
"Heh, I should be able to kill more than the dwarves."
The three-flower elf on the side heard Guderian's disrespectful words, and immediately sneered, although he also belonged to the heretics who had been expelled by the race, but he was still a great elf chauvinist in his bones.
"Humph!"
"So, Dejia seems to be the most 'relaxed'?"
Stopping the two Aveli folks from continuing to raise the bar, Moriarty said.
"Yes, the Necromancer Alliance was originally a militaristic state of 'all people are soldiers', and it is the best at large-scale national warfare, and is accustomed to fighting war." As a military expert, the old werewolf has also done in-depth research and analysis of Dejia.
"What about our Bracada?"
"There are two spatial rifts, the number is acceptable, and they are located in the border area, with snow-capped mountains as a strategic barrier, so for a while, the demon legion cannot be deployed on a large scale." Clausewitz turned his focus back to the local area: "And there is news that some time ago, the official has noticed that there is something unusual in the rift in time and space, and sent a magic master to repair it. Therefore, with such advance measures, the follow-up war in Bracada will be much more advantageous. β
"I know about it."
Moriarty nodded, in fact, his first-level mage promotion mission was to kill the three Gogo demons who had entered the continent through the early rifts of GuΓ².
"And the official Bracada has also reached an agreement, the North-South coalition army will leave for the front line no later than the 25th, and there will be four Grand Arcanists with the army."
The old werewolf pointed to the two blue lines on the map, and it was clear that Bracada's overall strategy was to attack the demon legions from the southeast and northwest directions.
"What about us?" At this time, the silver-bearded dwarf suddenly asked, "Go back to the rear and enjoy the blessings?" β
"No, we have another place to go."
Looking around, Moriarty stood up with a stern expression. (To be continued......)
