"The Western Frontier League, which had been the land of the Indogena for nearly a thousand years, until 1564, in the Confessional Peace after the Second War of Unification, the Incona ceded this land to Portoux, and six years later, in 1570, Portloo officially renamed this land the Frontier Guard. ”

"Although the Ingona crossed the Wagra Mountains to this land very early, for a variety of reasons, the Ingona did not develop the area as well as they wanted. The so-called various reasons, such as the Wagra Mountains, which are in the shape of a circle, allow the area to maintain a certain degree of territorial independence, and the internal hills and forests are complex, and the interaction with the outside world remains unchanged. ”

"So until the land was ceded out, the Western Frontier Alliance was still quite pitifully developed, and there were only four cities in the interior, Gilph, Bodami, Nissi, and Wagra, which could be called the main cities, and the others were only towns and even villages, of which the Nissius were developed purely by maritime trade with Bourbon. ”

"In terms of foreign exchanges, Bodami and Nishuxi in the west are close to the sea and can communicate with the outside world, and Wagra in the east is the only exit from the entire Wagra Mountains, but recently the city has become increasingly militarized due to the relationship with Ingena. Gilph is located to the south, and it was only over a decade ago that he laboriously dug a boardwalk to the Nick capital of Portlou, the road we came from. ”

"Then there's the Western Frontier Alliance, which is the rest of the Border Guard......"

At this time, Felison XVI was listening intently to the reports from his men, which were submitted by the Portlough side, and were very informative, from the past of the Western Frontier Alliance to the present Frontier Guard, and the greatest trouble Bourbon faced when he arrived at the Frontier Guard.

"Although the border guard was ceded to the Autonomous Region by Ingona six years ago, there was not much trouble in the handover process, after all, the merchants of the Autonomous Region had very good relations with the local community, and the Autonomous Region promised the status of local self-government. ”

But even so, the Ingena aristocracy, led by Salta Shummer, refused to accept the annexation of the Autonomous Region, and they gathered an army to be reckoned with, and they caused a lot of trouble for the Autonomous Region by raising the slogan of independence from Nishusi to Wagra. ”

Hearing this, Felison XVI had already guessed the plan of the lord of the Bourlou Autonomous Region, Koutumat: Poportlou did not fully control the border guards, and now he threw this rotten meat to Bourbon and let Bourbon share the pressure on him.

And then that Salta must have been supported by Boris, it is self-evident, Boris hopes to have a large and scattered Ingona, and the first step of the western secession camp where Salta is located is to become independent from Ingona, so the two camps coincide in this regard, and it is naturally easy to come together, and the breakup is also a later thing.

When the report was over, Felison XVI sat in his chair and closed his eyes, weighing the information he had received so far, and calculating the disadvantages.

What do Bourbon have on hand now?

Think about how much army is left, the navy doesn't have to think about it, the fleet is all intercepted by Portoux. If only the army is considered, the army from Astor to Bodami is not large in quantity and is of poor quality, but the loyalty is generally credible. Then before going to Bodami, Portlou gave another Bourbon troops, although it was used as a surveillance, but it should be okay to pick up and fight a tailwind war. In the end, the princes of Bourbon who were loyal to the border guard should be able to muster another army, and it would be barely usable.

Then there is the fiscal aspect, where Felison XVI has cut the financial expenditures "during the war" to such a dangerous level that it seems impossible to cut them any longer. Can the tax paid, in addition to the offerings of Portlou, be taken from the Frontier Guard? Felison XVI expressed his pessimism, asking the princes to pay for it, and it would certainly force them to go to Salta.

Then there was Boris's possible attack. As far as the previous discussion is concerned, it was agreed that Boris would not send the main force even if he sent troops here. After all, what if you take this place? A Wagra mountain range can stop Boris's army, so that Boris's army can't cross the one-man Nick Fortress.

Therefore, as long as he survived the early offensive, Boris should not send the main force to attack here, and the biggest threat to the Bourbon government-in-exile in the early stage was undoubtedly the disloyal elements of Salta...... It's good, it's coming around again.

"Salta, Salta!" said his name a few times, and then slammed his fist on the map, and the area from Nishuxi to Wagra, the most active area of Salta, where he controlled many towns.

"If you don't solve Salta and don't solve Salta quickly, there will be endless troubles," thinking of this, Felison XVI remembered a man and remembered what the devil had said.

Two days later, in a courtyard in Bodami, where Gross was reviewing his new skills, he was shocked to receive news of Felison's visit. Hearing this, Gross did not dare to slack off, and immediately put down what he was holding and went to meet Felison XVI.

"Lord Felison XVI, you don't usually wander around at this point," Gross himself went out to greet Felison, and invited him into the drawing room.

This is the mansion that was given to Gross by Fleison XVI after the Bourbon Provisional Government moved to Bodami, so that Gross could live in such a luxurious house.

"That's the time, Grandpa Gross," Felison said with a smile, and after entering the parlor, he talked to Gross for a while before getting to the point, "Grandpa Gross, in fact, before you came to Astor, the devil told me what he said about you, do you know what it is?"

"How do I know what it is, don't sell it," Gross smiled, "Besides, did the devil send my family over? Why did you tell me today?"

"No, it's two groups of people, the devil who brought your family here, and the devil who told me are not the same people, as for why I didn't say it until today...... That's because I want to see, Grandpa Gross, you chose to return to Boris just for a moment of excitement, but you still made up your mind, because it has something to do with that sentence," Ferixon's face was very solemn when he said this.

Seeing Felison's face, Gross also understood that Felison was not joking, so he straightened up: "Young Master Felison, I told you, when I saw the burning Boris, I wanted to avenge Boris, the burning Assembly Palace, because that is my hometown." ”

"I'm a rough man, and I don't know why the world is the way it is, so I can only attack the careerists who provoke wars. ”

Speaking of this, Gross smiled bitterly: "But I am neither a nobleman nor an extraordinary legend, although I have obtained special abilities by luck because of the devil's experiment, but after all, I am just a person, I can't change the overall situation, I can only follow you in a mess, and comfort myself." ”

"Grandpa Gross, you're wrong," Felison took a deep breath and calmed his mind, "the devil once told me that you would be able to conquer before magic appeared against you in the world. ”

As soon as these resounding words fell, the scene fell into an eerie silence, and after a long time, Gross broke the silence awkwardly: "I'm sorry young master, what do you mean by what you said?"

Felison raised his forehead: "Grandpa Gross, you haven't really discovered and used the value of your abilities. I once read an ancient book that said that before the advent of priests, there was no cure for the devil, so he ran wild for hundreds of years. ”

"But I'm not the devil, am I?"

"But you came out of hell, my Grandpa Gross, didn't you find out? Your previous exposure was only because you were a fire elemental, and the flames you carried made the other party instinctively feel wrong, not because the other party's spiritual power perception found out that you were here. ”

Gross understood what Hades meant, his pupils widened slightly, and his breathing became rapid: "So ......"

"When you are on a mission as a mercenary, the opponent can easily spot you because of the lack of numbers, but if you are in the middle of a war, when you are in the middle of a legion's long-range attack, who will go out of your way to observe the flames sent by the enemy?"

"So I need to get the head of the defender in the Array of Armies......" Gross fell silent, finally understanding Felison's hesitation.

Although Gross has a special ability, it is really not a joke to go to the army to take the head of the main general, Rao is a little careless may overturn, if he doesn't really want to help Bourbon, Gross may not be able to make such a big sacrifice.

But now Gross has an advantage in doing so. In the past, after Gross was completely transformed into a fire elemental, as soon as he was attacked, he would disrupt the spiritual power circuit, and after accumulating to a certain level, he would forcibly return to his normal state.

But after being stimulated in Boris a year ago, it seems that there is a breakthrough, and the fire element can form an area around itself, at first glance, I thought it was a transcendent and legendary fire element realm, but after fighting with the Gelmak family, the worship evaluation was only the magnitude of the fire phosphorus level.

The self in this state is more than ten times more troublesome than before, because in the fire element area, one's true body can move at will, and as long as the other party can't hit one's true body, then before the spiritual power in this area is exhausted, one's "pseudo-realm" can be called endless.

That's right, spiritual power, not the fire element, this is also one of the places where Gross is perverted, Gross converts spiritual power into the element he wants dozens of times faster than the mage, so now even if Gross fights with the mage Transcendent Legend, there is a possibility of escape.

And the other party wants to hit his true body? Sorry, a flame field is burning, driving more flames, and finally there are flames everywhere, Gross can hide his true body everywhere, although the lethality may be lacking, but the vitality and shock effect are outstanding.

So is it possible to observe Gross's true body through spiritual power? The worshipper said that this requires a special project to be set up in the academy, and then a group of worshippers will study day and night, and it will take about ten years to study the magic of finding out the true body.

That's what Gross is capable of now, and that's why Felison calls it his hole card.
