Passing through the rudimentary walls that were being renovated, I came to the hillside outside the walls. The Oathbreaker is digging pits in full swing, digging spiked stakes firmly diagonally into the earth with their faces facing outwards to be of critical use in future defenses. The fortifications built by the Oathbreakers appear to be so dense that even the only road into the base is completely sealed off when completed.

"Are you going to retreat and defend?" I casually asked the guide around me.

"That's the preliminary plan," Uratin confirmed my suspicions, and explained to me in detail why they chose to do so, "We know almost nothing about the enemy's situation, and we prefer to defend solidly until we have the enemy's back or have a good chance of victory—we can't afford to lose on such a large turf." ”

What Wu Lazen said is true, who knows what kind of black technology will be hidden in the hands of the crow ghost woman? Instead of recklessly ramming the muzzle of the opponent's hidden gun, it is better to calm down and observe what the enemy's hole cards are.

"Do the enemy have heavy weapons?" Thinking that magic might be a kind of thing, I added an additional adding, "I mean catapults or ballistas for sieges." ”

"Of course not, unless they've sacked the armory of Marcas once before," Uratzen smirked disdainfully, "and we can't even make these large tools of war. ”

Seeing that I bowed my head slightly and showed an expression of Chengzhu in my chest, Uraten continued, "Although the other party does not have siege equipment in their hands, on the other hand, the crow ghost woman will provide them with as much magical assistance as possible. ”

"You mean that the crow ghost woman will also go to the battlefield herself?"

"Hmm...... Unlikely, those sinister and cunning crows and ghosts will usually live behind the scenes and manipulate them secretly. Unless something unexpected happens on the frontal battlefield. Theoretically, they would invoke power from the Demon God and forcibly infuse it into the Oathbreaker, which would produce a Doom Mage who could play an effective role on the battlefield in a short period of time. ”

"So looking at the big picture, how will these mages affect the battle? Are they the enemy's main means of attack? How much of a disadvantage does our side have in the battle against magic? ”

"The amount of mana we have on hand is relatively limited, after all, only a very small number of people have the qualifications to become mages, and the cost of training a mage is too large." Seeing that my brows that I had stretched not long ago were now completely frowned upon, Uratin hurriedly gave me a more optimistic addition, "But the enemy will not have much advantage, although it can be achieved quickly through sacrifice, but like us, they are facing similar problems. ”

I nodded thoughtfully. Cast your eyes on the fields below the hillside. It won't be long before a fierce battle ensues. Unlike the peace of the base, the outer world realm has completely returned to the emblematic cold and coldness of Skyrim Province, and the wind howls relentlessly across the land, venting its anger on the few poor little trees that have not been cut down. Destroy them to the ground.

Condescendingly, the view is wide. Everywhere the trees were cut down. Not only did the enemy have no cover to cover up, but they also had to charge on the slopes full of spiked wooden stakes, so it was a fitting place to arrange the battlefield.

I looked into the distance. Take in the terrain of the entire battlefield. However, just as I was leading the way, a group of uninvited guests suddenly broke into my sight.

Is it a group of abandoners who have migrated to Mednachi? No, after a closer look, I found that the opposing team consisted purely of heavily armed warriors, carrying no baggage, and seemed to have other identities and purposes. Instead of wearing a deer antler fur hat like the dozen or so Oathbreaker warriors behind him, the leader wore a black cloak with a hood and scarf, making it difficult to see what he looked like.

As the group approached our fortifications, the sentries standing at the top of the wooden towers quickly noticed their presence and reported the information to us below.

"What are they here for?"

I asked Uratzen, but the solemn-looking Uratin did not answer me immediately, but gathered the patrolling soldiers and drew three times as many troops from them as they came, standing in front of him.

"I don't know what to do, but we can ask them, and now we have the confidence and confidence to ask each other's intentions."

"Well, I'll go and see if I'm going to take a look."

……

Our team was spotted by the other side. They raised their weapons and pointed unkindly at us and loudly intimidated us. Judging from their specific words, they are not threatening us to fight now, but warning us to flee or terrible doom will befall us in a few days.

Thinking of the predicament that Mednaki was facing, I immediately understood the other party's intention - to write a war letter. Our side was outnumbered and had the home advantage, so naturally we didn't take their intimidation seriously, and the oathbreakers behind us scolded back with the same content.

Scolding and walking, soon we officially met face to face. The tension was tense, and the conflict was on the verge of breaking out, but under the respective constraints of the leaders, both sides were only verbally scolding, and had no real intention of making a move. I raised my hand to silence the aposton behind me, and the somewhat familiar man in black across from me did the same.

Negotiations are about to begin. The man in black at the head took off her hood and scarf, revealing her true face.

"Ai ...... Iola? ”

How could it be her? How did the followers of the Corrupt Lady get involved with the Oathbreakers? Aiola swept the group of oathbreakers behind me with a grim gaze, then glared at me in amazement. After a while, she let go of her silver teeth that were biting her lip and spoke to me.

"I really didn't expect to see you here. That's fine, so I don't have to go around looking for your whereabouts. ”

Looking at the way she gritted her teeth, she must have felt a deep hatred for me from what had happened in the Temple of the Corrupt Lady, and if it weren't for the fact that the people behind me were three times as many as hers, she would have been eager to do it.

I smiled awkwardly and reluctantly greeted her, "Long time no see, how are you doing?" ”

Aiola's resentful gaze made my scalp tingle, and she was so angry that she wanted to eat me alive on the spot.

"Thanks to you, now Namira has completely cut off all contact with me, and I don't have anything for her anymore!"

"Well, I'm sorry about that. However......" Hearing Iola's words of hatred, I knew that "Li" no longer responded, but looked at him left and right, "It seems that you have now thrown yourself under the crow ghost woman?" ”

"Yes, I've made a big mistake, who else wants to take me in but them?" Aiola sneered, crumpled a letter into a ball, as if it were rubbing me, and threw it hard at my feet, "Next, I hope you can protect yourself and not die early in the chaos." I'm still waiting to settle that account with you! ”

After rudely handing over the war report, Aiola and her men left without looking back, and the group stood still in a daze. The Oathbreakers were probably worried about the coming war, but I was worried about what to do with Iola—I was completely unprepared to face her.

Flotra, the only one who was not too affected, picked up the paper ball from the ground and handed it to me, and seeing that I was still in a daze, she immediately handed the paper ball to Uratzen's hand.

"They have officially declared war on us!" After reading it hastily, Uratzen's face looked anxious, and he shook me from my stunned state, "Everything came so quickly! Without further ado, we must tell the news to His Majesty the King at once! ”

I nodded silently and turned around to follow the group, while Flora curiously asked me about Iola.

"Who's that big sister? You seem to have done something sorry for her? (To be continued......)
