William rubbed his face, then took a sip of the refreshing water next to him, and his tired face looked a little better.

His original silky hair has also become a chicken nest, messy and without even a bit of color, the only thing that is precious is that there is no strange smell on his body.

Contrary to the current rumors from the outside world, although William and Hela have been officially identified as the top four in the entire Void Empire after the Emperor, the two of them have always been communicating with each other. Therefore, Hella knows William's current battle situation, and William also knows Hela's current layout progress, and even from time to time the two will have some discussions to make some suggestions and adjustments for each other's plans.

William had just finished his discussion with Hela just a few minutes earlier.

He already knew that Hela's plan to strike against the Roboin Knights and the Karossa Tribes was almost complete. As long as the Marquis of Hagrid falls, Hela can launch a final offensive and completely swallow up all the armies of the two alliances that are currently deep into the new territory of the Kingdom of Lane, which will bring an extremely heavy blow to the two countries, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration.

It's just that the layout is almost complete, but in terms of specific tactical implementation, it is not what Hela is good at, so she needs to communicate with William.

For example, when the layout is complete, when all of Hela's troops have arrived in the designated area, the forces of the Roboin and Karossa forces will be completely divided. But how to complete the final harvest is not Hela's specialty. What she can do is create a situation where her side has the greatest advantage, but if the fighting troops below have strong combat effectiveness. In fact, it is still possible to break through.

William, on the other hand, is specifically for Hella to fill in the gaps.

Through several tactics of wandering, encircling and suppressing, attacking, targeting, and uniting, it will be absolutely impossible for these enemy units that have been cut out to leave.

If what Hella is good at is to create an unstoppable overall situation, form an absolute advantage situation with more and fight less, and completely destroy the enemy army in one go, then what William is best at is to arrange targeted strike tactics, rely on encroachment, gradually improve the advantage, and finally turn the advantage into victory.

But now. William was in big trouble.

The fortress of Torlus has turned into a state of full retrenchment, and in the face of this huge turtle shell, William and the others have no way to pry it open. I can only wait cautiously for the opportunity. For this reason, William even did not hesitate to choose the most time-consuming and patient long-line fishing tactics - the secret caravan led by Ruby, Elekate and others in disguise has also made four successful transactions with the Torus Fortress, but William deliberately made this caravan a little difficult during the fourth transaction, so a "fierce conflict" broke out between the two sides. In the end, the cunning caravan managed to escape and carry a fifth of the goods into the city.

This is to a large extent. It gave Ruby and the others enough free time - after all, they had to stay in the city for a while longer to wait for the situation to calm down in order to avoid the risk of being captured.

In just one and a half months, the Torus Fortress required as many as four trade transports, so you can imagine how bad the internal situation of the fortress has become. However, William is not in a hurry, he is still waiting for an opportunity, and if his prediction is correct, then the fifth deal proposed by the Torrus Fortress will be his best chance to make a move.

And through the adventurous moves of Ruby and others. Sheena, who is located underground, did not disappoint William either.

At the cost of her losses, Sheena has managed to excavate five tunnels that lead directly to the Torus Fortress - the frozen acid of the Crypt Ice Spiders is the essence of their bodies. Just as dragon breath is generated by the dragon's life source, excessive use of this frozen acid can cause serious damage to these little spiders. However, this is the only way to dig a passage through the iron-hard underground rock without attracting the attention of the insiders of the Torus Fortress.

The five secret tunnels leading directly to the Torus Fortress are only missing the final breakthrough, which can be opened in half a day at most, according to Sheena's estimates.

And the price of these five passages is the death of more than two-thirds of the entire crypt ice spider population.

Sheena has also been depressed a lot in the recent period, and her whole person looks extremely cold - the blood of the cold spider has completely spread out in Sheena's body, this little girl who was still very confused and cheerful back then has now become the most potential young generation in the Void Empire, if you want to count it as a family background, she is the first person in the Void Empire who really deserves it.

No way, whether it is William or Clov or Abazar and Levi, none of them have a family. And Hela, who already has a new family, has no one in the family who can compete with Hina for the title of the first person of the younger generation. As for the others, such as the barbarian tribes who had taken refuge in the Void Empire, there were a few young people who could compete with Hina, especially Oriona, who was nominally Sean's apprentice but had received little guidance in reality.

However, whether it is Oriana or Sheena, in fact, the strength of the two is not much different, and the reason why they are not as good as Sheena is because of family background.

It's just that in private, Sheena and Orianna are very good friends.

Everything was ready for the assault on the fortress of Torus.

Similarly, for the three magic crystal cannons in the Torus Fortress, William has also obtained a lot of relevant information through the temptation of Rupee to enter the city four times. Although this information is not detailed, and there is no way to know more accurate relevant data, it is still very valuable information for the personnel of the Haytham Institute, and William also understands the terrifying nature of this magic crystal cannon.

As long as the magic power of the leyline magic crystal continues, the magic crystal cannon can run almost indefinitely, unlike ordinary cannons that have a cooldown time in the barrel - even if it is a newly developed magic cannon, once the engraved magic pattern is overloaded and negative. The Magic Cannon must also stop firing and allow its chamber to cool.

What's particularly terrifying is that the magic crystal cannon was a product used to blast through the crystal wall of the Divine Kingdom back then, so there is no need to think about it at all in terms of power. Just say that the coverage range of energy shells is several kilometers. If it is charged, it can be doubled, and the coverage area will also be increased to nearly twenty kilometers in diameter. Under such a lock-on bombardment, it's normal that Alexis doesn't want to go looking for trouble.

According to the information that Ruby Tan heard, these three magic crystal cannons should be the last ancient remnants in the world, and it is no wonder that the Cinnas Empire has been eyeing this.

This discovery also made William even more determined to never let the Chainas Empire get a complete magic crystal cannon. He had already given orders to the troops preparing to attack the city. If you can't control it at the first time, then you can directly destroy all three magic crystal cannons; And if you find that you don't have a chance to transport the magic crystal cannon away, you must also destroy the magic crystal cannon as soon as possible.

William's thoughts were clear. Once the Magic Crystal Cannon is destroyed, the Void Empire, which currently has the technology of the Magic Cannon Technology, will be in a temporarily invincible position in this regard. Maybe the magic cannon can't pose a lethal threat to the super strong like the magic crystal cannon, but the Void Empire is not without super power. Naturally, there is no need to be afraid of the super strong who may come. Even because of the existence of the magic cannon, the Void Empire will be militarily invincible for a long time to come.

Of course, the premise is to destroy the last three magic crystal cannons in this world.

"Lord William!"

A shout pulled the pensive William back to reality.

"What's the matter?" William stood up and looked at one of the Void Realm members who had walked in from outside the tent.

This young man was a teenager trained by Ruby himself, and it was said that he was the son of an elder who took good care of him in the Thieves' Guild. However, the boy's father died unexpectedly due to a failed mission, and then he was implicated by the enemy in the Thieves' Guild, which at that time cleared up its involvement in order to protect itself. and betrayed each other, causing the boy's mother and several relatives to also suffer miserably.

Only this teenager survived because he was not at home at the time. Although the Thieves' Guild later compensated him, the boy still hated the Thieves' Guild. It wasn't until Ruby later went to the old place and discovered these things that he brought the boy back, who was fourteen years old at the time. Finally, after all these years of careful cultivation, this teenager finally became a qualified spy officer.

For Ruby, who is also a brother, father and teacher, the young man's mind can be imagined.

This is a person who is only loyal to the rupee, not to the Void Realm, and not to mention the Void Empire or even William and Sean. Although this kind of thinking is very dangerous, but under Ruby's repeated requests, William also acquiesced to this existence, after all, now that Ruby is already the supreme leader of the Void Realm, his subordinates must also have a few descendants who can be absolutely trusted, as long as Ruby is loyal to the Void Empire, William will not bother to pay attention.

But seeing that Ruby also has his own followers, the inner circle that followed Sean and Cecilia has expanded step by step, radiating downward, and even the establishment of the Void Empire, Sheena's growth and the empire has finally had the third generation and even the fourth generation of young people and excellent generals, talents, etc., William's heart still has a very subtle emotion.

Decade.

It's only been ten years, and they have followed Sean to accomplish great things that no one else can and dare not imagine.

"Ten years, right?" William muttered, has it been ten or twelve years?

"What?" The young man, who was only seventeen years old now, was a little stunned, "Lord William, what did you say?" ”

"Nothing." William shook his head, he felt that he really wanted to like emotion recently, and he always liked to reminisce about the past, which was really not like his style, "Maybe there have been a lot of things recently, so I'm a little tired." …… Let's talk about something. ”

"Yes." The boy muttered inwardly, but William was the top boss of his own boss...... Well, the teenager was already a little confused.

Since the establishment of the Void Empire, the Void Realm has been officially divided under the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs, under the direct leadership of William. However, there is also a more detailed class division in the inner part of the Void, from high to low, there are a total of six levels, Ruby, Elekate, and Sigley are the three supreme commanders of the Void Realm, in charge of three different departments, and below are the managers with different powers and statuses according to the national, regional, city, and village levels, and then there are the special investigators of the four levels of gold, silver, copper, and iron.

At present, this teenager is only a bronze medal spy officer, who can only be responsible for the delivery and transmission of some intelligence, and cannot perform tasks independently. According to the level of the Void Realm, it only belongs to the fifth level of authority, but because of Ruby's trust and some other reasons, he is qualified to report the mission directly to William.

The information brought by the boy was the information secretly transmitted by Ruby, and as William had predicted before, the other party really asked for the fifth delivery of supplies, and the demand far exceeded the sum of the previous four. It was impossible to evade William with such a large transfer, so Ruby refused without hesitation - he knew that it would be strange to even say yes.

However, after a period of consultations, the material requirements were reduced by two thirds, but large quantities of food were required. Later, according to Rupee's secret investigation, he found that in order to maintain the high morale of the besieged city, the consumption of food in the fortress of Torus was relatively large, and the only food left at present could only support the entire fortress for about a week, so they hoped that the rupee could transport a month's worth of food into the fortress, even if it was a high compression of military rations.

To this, the rupee has agreed.

Moreover, he had also secretly sent a group of troops from the fortress of Torus to leave the fortress of Torrus, and Elikate had completed the assessment and survey of all the soldiers of this force, and could ensure that the camouflage was as high as 80 percent, as long as it was not relatives and people who were particularly familiar with it, they could fool the past. So now Ruby asked the boy to report back to William and ask for his next steps.

"Did the rupee talk about poison?" William pondered for a moment, then asked.

"All water sources in the entire fortress have been poisoned, and this ******** will not begin until a month later." The boy opened his mouth and replied, "Lord Ruby has already said that it will only take about twenty days to deliver the supplies back and forth, and because the materials purchased this time are relatively large, it will take twenty-five days, so if there is no delay a little, then this operation will not allow the poison to attack, and they will have to put the antidote." ”

"No, I don't." William said in a deep voice, "Five days, I'll fight for them, and you get the troops ready." At the same time, send a message to Alexis to return immediately, we are going to prepare for the siege. (To be continued.) )

PS: I recently read a very good novel, and I really like the emotional description and the eloquent narrative style in the book. Although there are no ups and downs in the book, and there are some small flaws and loopholes, this is indeed a novel that tells a story with heart, giving people a very warm feeling, like watching a movie and listening to an old song, which makes people recall a lot of good things. The title of the book is "I Am Not a Sword God", and I would like to share it with you here.
