“...... What kind of monster are we up against?"

Andy Lesden frowned, not knowing how many times he sighed deeply. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At the military headquarters in the capital of the Kingdom of Glen Loton, Lesden was discussing with the military top brass about the next tactics to deal with the invaders.

The injury on Lesden's left hand has been healed under the treatment of magic, and it will not affect his combat effectiveness, but he has to face two strategic magisters of the same level, if he doesn't want to find a way to deal with it, he will only repeat the mistake of the last time, being trapped in the isolated space, and becoming helpless, so he brainstormed in the army and planned to come up with a way to deal with the opponent's magic.

It was at this time that they received an urgent communication from the outside world and learned that the foreign peacekeeping force had finally arrived.

As soon as they heard the good news, all the officers in the conference room were greatly boosted, but when they heard the next announcement, they immediately fell silent.

The reinforcements organized by the Spell Council, although they have reached the borders of the kingdom, are unable to enter due to the obstruction of the strange forest that appeared out of thin air the day before yesterday.

When he heard this exaggerated news, he immediately understood that this was some kind of trick of the enemy country, most likely an illusion, but because he was busy preparing strategies against the invaders who were close at hand, he could only leave it to the other border cities.

At a time when the border city had not yet made a report on the investigation, Lesden received unwanted bad news from the peacekeepers.

With the help of a special communication booster, the peacekeepers said they could not move on.

The peacekeepers naturally knew that the forest blocking their advance was probably the magic of the Kaos Empire, so they were cautious and sent scouts to reconnoiter first, but when they completely entered the forest and were obscured by the thin mist, the vanguard lost contact.

No matter what method is used, the peacekeepers can't find the existence of the scout, as if the other party has suddenly disappeared in this world, and the magic props used for communication cannot find the other party's signal, as if the other party does not exist at all.

After knowing the danger of this forest, the peacekeepers naturally wanted to find other ways to advance, but after some exploration and intelligence exchange, they regrettably found that this forest blocked all the roads leading to the Kingdom of Glen Lodon, and even the roads of the other two approaching kingdoms were also closed.

It is completely unwise to rashly enter an enemy country that is obviously heavily guarded on the border, not to mention its own international-based security strategy, which will definitely not allow such an act of invasion, and the peacekeeping force is a multinational coalition force, and will not take risks casually.

The commander-in-chief of the peacekeeping forces, after thinking for a while, decided to directly destroy the strange forest in front of him in order to open a safe road.

However, it backfired, no matter what kind of magic they used to attack the forest, it was all like a mud cow entering the sea, without even a ripple, and after approaching the forest, the magic attack disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never appeared at all.

After that, they planned to burn the forest directly, but it was completely useless, the grass and trees in the forest could not be ignited, and the flames would soon be extinguished on the surface of the plants, and it was impossible to create a fire that burned the forest.

So, the peacekeepers sent scouts again, this time with the Magus of Air Combat, to explore and see if they could pass through the forest and check for any danger.

There are a certain number of air combat Magister troops in the peacekeeping force, and if they can successfully pass, they will be the first to enter the Kingdom of Glen Loton for a support mission, and the rest of the troops will find a way to enter.

Then, the peacekeepers lost contact with the Magister scouts flying in the air.

As soon as the scout flew over the forest, he was surrounded by a white mist above him, and he was lost in plain sight, unable to communicate with him no matter how much he called them with magic items.

The successive failed peacekeepers continued to try to break through, and they sent a magister who could travel underground, but as soon as they entered the area of the forest, the message of the magister disappeared completely.

Whether flying in the sky, through the ground, or directly through the forest, as soon as you get close to the location of the forest, everyone will lose sight and news.

The peacekeepers lost their way for a while, and they tried several methods again, but they all failed, and they could only urgently notify the Kingdom of Glen Loton to see if they could break through from the other side.

At the end of the message, they cautiously asked the Kingdom of Glen Loton if they were allowed to take the risk of using strategic magic to attack the forest directly in order to break through the barrier.

"Is strategic magic still going to come down on our soil?"

Lesden and the rest of the military, of course, do not want strategic magic to explode in their own country, even in an uninhabited border area, which can cause a series of sensitive questions.

However, after much discussion, and with the King's approval, they allowed the peacekeepers to use strategic magic.

This is a matter of no choice, the aggressor has the existence of two strategic-level magisters, after the last battle, it has been proved that Lesden alone cannot be opposed, if you want to drive the other party away, then the support of the strategic-level magister in the peacekeeping force is a necessary prerequisite.

There are priorities, and now that the forces of the aggressor are close at hand, it is not time to take into account public opinion among the population, as long as it is possible to drive away the enemy's aggression, then everything has a remedy.

The army of the Kaos Empire is stationed in a city closest to the capital, only a few kilometers away from the capital, this interval is not long or short, and the general strategic-level magic is enough to cross the past, as long as the other party has the heart, then the capital will be attacked by strategic-level magic at any time.

The so-called rat thrower, although Lesden can also cut out the sword qi of the strategic level to cut things at this distance, but in the city where the enemy is located, he will definitely not be able to do so.

On the other hand, the other party has no such scruples, and the Kaos Empire used strategy and magic several times when it unified the Bellabet region, and it seems that they do not have such a psychological burden.

Lesden clearly remembered that when he fought on the plains again, although the wide-area attack made by the other party's flame demon was not as large as the strategic-level magic, if the quality and destructive power of the magic power alone were concerned, it had already reached the level of the strategic level, and as long as the other party had the heart, he would probably be able to use the complete strategic-level magic at any time.

Just after responding to the request of the peacekeepers, the combat meeting continued, but on the way, Lesden received a call from the king.

Lesden wondered why the king didn't give him orders directly, but he kept his doubts in his heart, and after bidding farewell to his colleagues in the conference room, he went straight to the palace in the center of the capital.

The place where the king received Lesden was different from usual, and there was no communication in the conference room and study, but in the temple where the royal family worshiped their ancestors.

Others may not know the significance of this move, but as a retainer of the kingdom of Lesden Glen Loton, the country's only strategic magister, and a friend of the king, he understands the meaning of meeting here.

"Your Majesty......"

When Lesden walked alone into the sacrificial temple and was about to bow down to the man in front of him, the king raised his hand to stop him.

"Old friend, maybe we've reached the last moment. ”

The king was a few years younger than Lesden, but in appearance he was much older than the other man, with gray hair all over his head.

"I have communicated with the One underground, and I have seen the infinite darkness and chaos through the eyes of the other Being...... The emperor of the Kaos Empire is not an existence that we can fight against, yes, even if the one below makes a move, we can't resist. ”

"This ...... Your Majesty...... It's ......"

Lesden knew the secrets of this temple, and he also knew what a powerful power existed within, a realm that he would never reach, a level that humans could not reach.

And now, even that one said that there was nothing he could do, and the guardians of the kingdom couldn't help but react for a while.

"Of course, I will continue to fight to the death, but it seems that the chances of success are not very good, my friend, if I do fail, you can leave this country alone, and leave this place with my children......"

The king bowed his head and pleaded with his friend.

"Please, please forgive me for my selfishness, please forgive me for abandoning this country, but I can't let that young child die here, if I fail next, the last bloodline of the Sebailan royal family will be entrusted to you......"

Lesden saw that the king wanted to kneel down to him, and hurriedly held the other man's shoulders.

He looked at his old friend's determined eyes and sighed deeply helplessly.

“...... All right...... I promised you...... If it really comes to the last minute, I will leave with His Royal Highness the Prince......"

Before the decisive battle, no one knew that the supreme leader of the Kingdom of Glen Loton had abandoned the fact that the country had been abandoned.
