Chapter 239: The Territory is Unstable
Cyrus believes that Queen Jenna must have had other purposes for acquiescing to the leakage of news.
Otherwise, she would definitely not have issued a royal decree and ordered the True God Priesthood to withdraw to the Divine Blessed City with great fanfare.
As for the Light of Order potion, Cyrus had only heard of it.
He hadn't tried it himself, so he didn't know if the Light of Order was as magical as the legend suggested.
But the so-called lack of materials and the discontinuation of production, Cyrus will never believe it.
When it came to the third thing, Cyrus was much more excited than the first two.
After all, the Bitter Cold Fortress he was currently in was a long distance from the nearest Tianqing Fortress, not to mention the combat zone located in the southern border of the Divine Blessed Empire.
As Cyrus spoke in fierce words, Vincent finally understood why he was so excited.
The monsters in the territory of the Divine Blessed Empire have changed dramatically.
The original monsters were all scattered sand, fighting for themselves, and belonged to the scabies of the empire.
But I don't know when those monsters who were originally hostile to each other actually formed a large group similar to a tribe.
Behind them, it was as if there were suddenly invisible hands.
When attacking, there is no mud and water, and when retreating, there are monsters in charge of the back of the temple, and when hiding, non-talented people cannot track them.
And the most frightening thing about them is that they have a keen sense of danger.
Not only did these monster troops never attack the cities of the Divine Blessed Empire, but they did not even take the initiative to raid even the towns with insufficient defenses, or even villages with a population of less than 100 people.
They have only one goal, and that is to roam the caravans that roam the territory of the Empire.
In particular, large and small caravans, carrying the banner of the nobility, were the targets they had to attack even at all costs.
Seeing that the Divine Blessed Empire had sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, the monster troops were still not completely dead, and those large chambers of commerce had no choice but to spontaneously organize mercenary escorts to escort them.
It's just that the so-called escort teams are large groups with more than two hundred people.
These large groups are improvised teams of a dozen or even dozens of scattered mercenary teams.
If it weren't for the fact that the mercenaries had a huge crushing advantage over the monsters in terms of rank, once the two met, they might not know which side would push which side.
Mercenaries, who are aware of this, will naturally spontaneously look for the right way to solve the current difficulties.
Thus, the mercenary group came into being.
Some mercenary teams with high mission completion ratios and high prestige have made a move, and they have spontaneously recruited troops to increase the existing regular members of the mercenary team.
A mercenary group of up to 300 people immediately became the savior in the eyes of the caravans who had not been able to trade for a long time.
However, as soon as the number of people increases, the amount of commission required is naturally much higher than in the past.
When it was time to finally set off, the caravan escorted by the mercenary group had changed from one to a giant caravan composed of several caravans.
Along the way, all the monsters who saw this super-large merchant force chose to avoid it.
The mercenary group, which completed the mission without any danger, received a large commission from the caravan manager.
Although the amount is a little less than in the past, it is better to be safe and easy.
As soon as the other mercenary teams who were on the sidelines learned of the news, they organized large mercenary groups one after another.
As soon as they were formed, they hurried to the parchment that was about to fill the task bar, quickly found the task suitable for the mercenary group, received the registration and completed it.
It's just that these mercenary groups have one characteristic, they do not accept the employment of noble caravans.
The aristocratic caravans, which were obviously targeted by the monsters, later developed to the point that even if they took off the noble banner and disguised themselves as ordinary caravans, they still couldn't escape the monsters' death troops.
As if they knew the true identity of this caravan in advance, the monster troops attacked wave after wave without their lives.
Even if they knew that they were going to die, they still fearlessly launched an intensive offensive.
In desperation, the noble chamber of commerce was forced to stop trading, and the caravan was disbanded on the spot. Most of the members of it were scattered to join the caravans of the Civilian Chamber of Commerce.
The matter seems to have been settled so easily.
However, on the surface, it seems that the current difficulties have been dealt with neatly, but in fact, it has laid a hidden danger for future disputes.
And the reason why Cyrus was excited was because he found that the monster mutation in the Divine Blessed Empire had quietly spread to the land of the north.
It's just that unlike the first mutation in the Divine Blessed Empire, the monsters in the north have had similar multi-racial forces since a long time ago.
However, the monster troops in the past in the north often attacked each other as if they had lost control after suffering several defeats.
But in recent times, the monster troops have become more and more difficult to deal with, and they have become more and more patient.
They lie deep beneath the ground, in the shadows, waiting for the right shot.
In particular, the appearance of a fallen mage who can control monsters has brought a lot of pressure to the Bitter Cold Fortress.
The monster troops in the north are many times more aggressive and bold than those in the Divine Blessed Empire.
From time to time, they attempt to attack small towns scattered throughout the North.
There are successes, and there are naturally failures.
But through fighting again and again, they have obtained things that humans simply cannot imagine.
That's the experience of war.
"I don't know why, the stronger the monster troops, the fewer times they will be dispatched. In the past month and half, I haven't received even a single piece of information about the whereabouts of monsters. ”
Cyrus voiced his biggest doubts.
"Probably those magicians kept them under control and didn't let them mess around. Vincent pretended he couldn't think of a reason.
"Impossible, there are more than a million monsters in the north, how can it be that those magicians can control it?" Cyrus shook his head.
Vincent had no choice but to humbly ask, "In your opinion, what is the real purpose behind the monsters doing this?"
Cyrus shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't guess. ”
His smile was bitter, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.
Although when Cyrus greeted Vincent's party, he seemed to be no different from his usual appearance.
However, after the high-intensity work of sorting out scattered information and compiling and analyzing it with others in the past few days, the mental wear and tear has been very serious.
In particular, he was ultimately unable to find the next target of the huge number of monster troops.
Cyrus, who was disappointed by this, had no choice but to give up and continue to do useless work.
He gave himself a two-day long vacation, first, to accompany his daughter, and secondly, to prepare for the war that is likely to break out in the future.
There was always a feeling in Cyrus's heart.
That is the cloud of war, about to fall the snowflakes of blood and death.
