readx; The next morning, the sun rose as usual, but the temperature dropped considerably, and the north wind brought colder currents that almost froze the whole land. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info If this continues, it won't take long for the river in the valley basin to freeze completely, allowing convoys to pass directly through the ice without having to be trapped in this small town.

The soldiers who defended the city yawned and climbed the city walls, and although the city had almost never experienced fighting, the strict discipline of the army forced the soldiers to get up early in the morning and stand guard in such cold weather.

It's just that when the soldier rubbed off the eye droppings from the corners of his eyes, and was about to find a random place to pee on the city wall, the inadvertent gaze looking outside the city immediately made his movements freeze, and his eyes and mouth were stretched to the limit under the excessive shock.

It was an army, and it appeared quietly but grandly outside the Sand Shield City, and found a leeward clearing to set up camp, and the military flag belonging to North Sunderland was towering, and the bright red flag tail was constantly swaying in the cold wind.

The soldiers on the city wall were not shocked for long, and immediately reacted and shouted in panic, and at the same time, he did not forget his duty, and quickly rushed to the bottom of the arrow tower on the city wall, and shook the large bronze bell that had not had a chance to be officially shaken since the city was built.

The jerky and piercing bell shattered the hundred-year-old tranquility of Sand Shield City.

The arrival of the North Sunderland army was like a fire, turning the entire snow-covered Sand Shield City into snow, and then tumbling and boiling.

Shadun City is not a strategic location, nor is it located on a major transportation road, it is a city with no reputation or strategic value at all, so even though Lorenzo has been at war with many countries and has had many military conflicts with North Sunderland, this small and inferior city has always been kept out of the situation, and no general or non-commissioned officer will ever think of it.

Such a useless place.

For more than 100 years since the city was founded, except for the bandits in the early years, Shadun City has never experienced the baptism of war, the city walls are low, the city gates are dilapidated, and the more than 300 city defenders are not so much legionary soldiers as ordinary sheriffs.

Even if they still maintain the establishment of the army, can the city defenders who have not experienced war for more than a hundred years still inherit the combat effectiveness of their ancestors?

On the first day of the appearance of the North Sunderland army, except for sending scouts to flee to the headquarters of the Crossblade Legion in the valley valley, the city defenders could not come up with any useful methods, and even before the North Sunderland army did not make any moves, the sound of surrender had already begun to appear in the city defenders, and it was spread throughout the entire Sand Shield City by people with intentions, which immediately caused a huge panic.

This is not something that can be compared with the impact of the murderous maniac a few days ago, when most people's thinking was that it was not about themselves, but now it is seriously related to their own safety.

Thanks to the efforts of bandit bandits such as Steeltooth Hammer and Blackclaw, civilians in both countries now believe that the enemy army is a murderer who never blinks an eye.

Therefore, when rumors of the possible surrender of the city defenders appeared, angry residents rushed to the gates of the barracks, demanding that the defenders resist strongly and that they would never surrender.

And the panicked people are not only the residents of Sand Shield City, those caravans that are temporarily trapped in Sand Shield City are also mourning, in order to avoid the battle area on the Iron Hoof Plain, they deliberately detoured to the remote Sand Shield City, but they did not expect to be affected by the war in the end, if Sand Shield City was broken by the army of North Sunderland, then the biggest loss will definitely be them these merchants, and the army that kills the red eye does not matter which country you are a merchant from.

By the afternoon, there were even merchants who had begun to unite and plan to go out of the city to negotiate with the army in North Sunderland and spend money to buy peace.

In this way, on the first day that the North Sunderland army appeared outside the gate of Shadun City, the entire Shadun City seemed to be crumbling, and the contradictions that were usually hidden seemed to erupt at this moment, and several riots and robberies broke out in one day.

It was already afternoon when Erwin got the news, and the person who brought him the news was Rex.

After listening to the news, Erwin was silent for a while and asked, "Didn't you say that the military conflict was coming to an end?" ”

"Yes, it's almost over, but it's not over, and this is probably the last action of North Sunderland." Rex nodded, his face was not very good-looking, this time the move of the North Sunderland army was completely unexpected by everyone, and at the same time disrupted his original series of deployments.

"You're quibbling," Erwin sighed, and then asked, "What's the size of that army out there?" Can you figure out what they're trying to do? ”

"Probably a full team of 1,000 people, the purpose is not clear, but according to the information I got from the people in the mirror about the front, North Sunderland has been in a weak position in the recent engagement, and has been pushed within the border line by Lorenzo's legion, if the Holy See's edict arrives at this time, then this military conflict should end with the defeat of North Sunderland." Rex said that he had taken over the Mirror stronghold in Sand Shield City, and was constantly receiving information from all over the Mirror Man.

"Then what did they do when they went out into the wilderness? It's not going to be a wild tour, is it? ”

The two of them were silent at the same time, not understanding what this thousand-man team of North Sunderland did not go to the front line to reinforce, but instead made a detour to the remote place of Shadun City, what they wanted to do, even if they captured Shadun City, they could not change the situation on the front line.

"Wait, you're saying that Lorenzo has taken the upper hand and pushed the front into North Sunderland?" Erwin couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it does." Rex nodded, this is the information he only got from the person in the mirror yesterday, it shouldn't be wrong, "What, do you have any clue?" ”

Erwin didn't answer Rex's question directly, but tapped on the table with a deep groan.

He suddenly remembered one thing, in the game, the final result of this military conflict, ended with Lorenzo's disadvantage, according to the player's investigation, it seems that it is because of the change in the political situation in Lorenzo's country, so he has to accept the edict of the Titan Holy See, and take the initiative to send an envoy to sue for peace.

The changes that Erwin has caused to the course of history at his own expense during this period should not have affected the situation of a war.

Therefore, before the papal edict, Lorenzo was at a disadvantage in military conflicts, not his current advantage.

Then the abnormal behavior of the North Sunderland 1,000-man team this time is likely to be an important reason to change the advantages and disadvantages of the two countries.

Rex saw Erwin bowing his head and being silent, so he didn't bother with interest, he specially told Erwin the news this time, and he also wanted to hear what he thought, for this young man, Rex's heart was getting stronger and stronger.

It didn't take long for Erwin to vaguely guess a possibility from the clues in the game, combined with the information now revealed from Rex's intelligence, and he couldn't help but look up and ask Rex, "Is it true that the Crossblade Legion stationed in the valley has all gone into battle?" ”

Rex nodded and replied, "It should be that Lorenzo's military strength on the border has always been inferior to that of North Sunderland, only the Crusader Legion. ”

Although the Crossblade Legion is an elite, in addition to the vast and long border, it also needs to take into account the security and suppression of bandits, as well as the duty of defending the city, and this time in order to gain an advantage on the front line, it can only invest all its military strength in it.

"Then here's the problem." Erwin tapped his fingers the table, a smile on his face that he had received the answer.

Rex couldn't help frowning, as if something came to mind: "You mean...... Sand Shield City? ”

"Yes, Sand Shield City is worthless in military strategy, except for its geographical location, the valley valley behind it, and there is a Crossblade Legion stationed there, not to mention that it will not be beneficial to capture Sand Shield City at all, and it is very likely that it will be counterattacked by the Cross Blade Legion, which is completely unpleasant, but you see ...... now," Erwin said.

Rex was reminded by Erwyn of this, and a gleam immediately flashed in his eyes: "Now that the Crossblade Legion has all gone into battle, there is no garrison force in the garrison at all. Even if the thousand-man team of North Sunderland captured Shadun City, they would definitely not be afraid of the counterattack of the Crossblade Legion. And because the valley basin has frozen, even if there are no boats, they can directly cross the river to threaten the garrison of the Crusader, and as long as they take it, they can completely cut off the retreat of the entire Crusader. ”

The more Rex spoke, the more certain he became, although he was not proficient in military affairs, but under Erwin's reminder, he could easily think of the purpose of the North Sunderland team of 1,000 people

"There is no need to really capture Sand Shield City or the garrison of the Crossblade Legion, there is only this possibility, after the Crossblade Legion on the front line gets the news, it will definitely give up the advantage of the military conflict and immediately return to defend, so that the goal of North Sunderland will be achieved." Erwin continued.

In fact, the history in "Divine Fire" is probably the same, this thousand-strong team of North Sunderland bypassed the battlefield to the outside of Sand Shield City, and then released the news that Sand Shield City might be captured and threatened the garrison in the River Valley Valley.

Although they may not do this, the Crossblade who got the news will definitely not dare to take the risk of retreating, and will definitely give up the advantage of the front line and return to defend, so that the frontline army in North Sunderland, which has been prepared for a long time, will be able to take this opportunity to attack, catch the Crossblade Legion who is busy retreating by surprise, and then turn the situation back in one fell swoop.

Rex immediately got up from his seat, he had already indirectly controlled the entire city defense through the people in the mirror, and now that he knew the purpose of North Sunderland, then he had to take action to stop them.

Originally, he just asked Erwin with a dispensable attitude, after all, Erwin's performance was enough to amaze him, and this kind of situation related to the military of war, without receiving formal tactical and strategic teaching, it is difficult to see the significance from the behavior of the army.

It's just that Rex didn't expect Erwin to be able to guess North Sunderland's purpose so quickly based on just two pieces of news, which has touched the highest ceiling of Rex's evaluation of Erwin.

Rex looked at Erwin with a complicated gaze, and said with a wry smile: "I can't comment on anything about you, I hope you can consider my suggestion carefully."

"What? If you want me to consider helping with that one, that's okay. Erwin thought that Rex was going to recruit him to help investigate the Sect of the End, so he hurriedly waved his hand, and his purpose for helping Rex guess North Sunderland this time was also out of his curiosity about this history, and he said it when he thought of it, and he had no other thoughts at all.

"Aren't you from the Titan Holy See, whether it's North Sunderland or Lorenzo, it's a member of your forces, it shouldn't matter who wins or loses, why do you seem to be in a hurry?"

Seeing that Rex was silent, Erwin hurriedly opened the topic.

"You are wrong Erwin, and it is for this reason that I, as a Demon Hunter of the Holy See, must do my best to prevent the war from worsening and restore peace to the border between the two countries." Rex's grim face had a sense of righteousness and awe-inspiring flavor when he said this, and the whole person seemed to be shining.

"Damn, you're a demon hunter who walks in the dark and specializes in dealing with filth and evil, isn't it okay to be a Radiant Templar, and it's okay to be so tall?" The sparkle on Rex almost blinded Erwin's snobbish eyes.

"Okay, okay, I admire you for being amazing, by the way, don't you have another news to tell me?" Erwin remembers when Rex came to the door and said he had two pieces of bad news to tell him.

"Yes, if you don't say it, I forgot."

Rex also remembered that he had come to Elwin and had something else to tell him: "Gergil disappeared last night, that Miss Julils, and Bru please ask me to apologize to you for what happened in the hotel last night." ”

Rex still has some details to say, that Gergill is not only missing, but also killed one of his servants.

Last night, although Erwin was not able to take the opportunity to get rid of Gegil, his sworn actions also succeeded in arousing everyone's suspicion, and after Erwin left, Ecilia and Blue arranged for two servants to spy on Gegil. I didn't expect him to suddenly burst out in the middle of the night and hurt people, one was wounded by him, and the other was killed by him directly - the hapless cook and archer-Kean.

"You told them everything?"

Erwin immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, but he was not surprised by this matter at all, Gegil's identity had already been revealed by him, so it was impossible to continue to stay in the team, otherwise sooner or later he would be discovered, it was better to do it as soon as possible.

As for the people in the team, Erwin has no sympathy for them now, and this is the fate of death.

"No, it's just that he told Blue some clues that he saw, otherwise he wouldn't have blatantly sent someone to spy on Gergil, as for Miss Julils......" Rex smiled, and though there was no mockery, Erwin still felt a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"That Miss Julils didn't believe it at first, but she went out of her way to apologize to me this morning, and she didn't seem to dare to see you, so she asked me to apologize to you."

"People living in their own world are like this, and it's rare to be able to pull down your face and apologize."

Erwin didn't care about these trivial matters, he frowned, looked up at Rex, and said: "Although I don't have a position, but let's say it again, you are playing with fire, and Rex should put out the danger immediately if he finds it, and letting it go will only lead to fire in the end." ”

Erwin knew very well that if Rex really intended to restrain Gergil, it wouldn't be so simple as just telling Blue, and he wouldn't let him escape from the convoy easily.

He knew that the demon knight had been indulging Gegil as a breakthrough in his investigation of the End-of-Ages.

Although Erwin doesn't have a good impression of the Titan Holy See, Rex still has a lot of appetite for him, and anyone who dares to play like this will end up with nothing good in the end, and it will not be good for anyone, Erwin still can't help but remind him.

"Don't worry, I'm sure." Rex smiled, "The main thing now is the matter of the North Sunderland army outside, and it shouldn't matter if you don't care about the rest for the time being." I can give you a thorough explanation, and when the military conflict is over, if the investigation is not improving, then I will personally deal with Gegil, you can rest assured. ”

Rex tidied up his appearance, and then was about to say goodbye and leave, Erwin stared at him, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "Rex, in fact, the methods of that group of people are nothing more than to sow discord, looking for every opportunity to cause turmoil and war, you don't need to be obsessed with finding specific criminals, because these people can't be dealt with, your strength alone is far from enough, you should focus on other places." ”

"Thank you for reminding me, I also know that my strength is insufficient, so I hope you can help me." Rex didn't miss any opportunity to win over Elwin.

Erwin looked at the twelfth mission from Rex that popped up in front of him, and said helplessly: "You better let me go of this, I really don't have any interest in these things, and I'm almost about to leave here." ”

"Don't be too busy saying no." Rex's voice suddenly became serious, just like his expression and eyes, "You better think about it and give me the answer, and then I will leave." ”

Rex left such an inexplicable sentence, and then turned and left the room.

And Susan walked in at about the same time.

"Had a good conversation?" She said.

"Hey, hey, he's a man, and you're going to be jealous too?" Erwin asked, wide-eyed.

"Want to die?" Susan couldn't help but want to slap him, "Ian hasn't been back since last night, do you know where he went?" ”

"How could I possibly know that." Erwin couldn't help but lie on the table, "I guess I was embarrassed to come back and see us when something like that happened last night." ”

However, Erwin remembered that Gergil had also disappeared, and a strange thought could not help but come to his mind.

These cousins aren't going to elope together, are they?
