After most of the people had finished eating, and while talking to the people around her, Adeline stood up and glanced down the hall, then tapped her glass three times with a silver spoon, the crisp sound made the people who were close to her stop talking and focus on her, the silence was like a wave, gradually spreading to the periphery, and after a while, the whole hall fell silent, and everyone looked at the great sage standing in front of the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you should all know what you are facing here. Adeline put down her glass and clasped her hands crossover in front of her lower abdomen. "Yes, in Magnus Fortress, all of us here will face a common enemy, the Dark Tide, and whether we were friends or enemies in the past, in this moment, we are all compatriots fighting side by side. ”

As soon as the Great Sage finished speaking, Lucius rose from his chair, and the King sat at the same table as the Great Sage. "I swear in Dayton's name that Dayton will do whatever it takes to repel the Dark Tide and drive them back north of the North Mirror. ”

Ogden's Generalissimo Wendthor also stood up, nodding slightly at Lucius. "Ogden will also put aside personal vendettas, our enemy is the Dark Tide, and all Ogdens should keep that in mind. ”

Adeline nodded in satisfaction. "Very well, we will face a large army of the Dark Tide this time, and only by working together can we defeat it, and even then, our losses will be huge. ”

The crowd in the hall let out a sigh and turned their heads to each other. Adeline clapped her hands, refocusing attention on herself. "But as long as we arrange the appropriate tactics, we can still reduce unnecessary losses and minimize casualties. ”

Ethan stood up and bowed respectfully to the Great Sage. "Then please ask the Great Sage to tell us about the arrangements for this battle, we know that in the battle against the Dark Tide, sacrifice is inevitable, we have already realized this, but if we can let as many warriors as possible return to their homes and reunite with their families, I think it is worth spending more brains. ”

Adeline glanced at Ethan appreciatively and nodded. "The prince has a point, every warrior is precious to Wallis, but to their family, they are the only one, and what I can do is to devise the most advantageous set of tactics so that as many soldiers as possible can return home safely. ”

The officers present nodded appreciatively, Stan nodded frequently, but Rui said disapprerovingly to Niss, "She's just psychologically comforting everyone, the Great Sage never takes things emotionally, they only think about the big picture, if the overall situation requires all these soldiers to die, then the Great Sage will not hesitate to do it." ”

Ness pursed her lips and replied helplessly, "Yes, Rui, but that's why they can become Great Sages, and mages like us who are too emotional have no chance of being promoted to Great Sages." ”

"Yes, feelings tend to be bad. Rui sighed.

Adeline waved her hand in front of her, and Elonhan motioned for the two waiting soldiers to lift a large wooden plank behind Adeline, on which was a map of Magnus Fortress and its vicinity, which was very detailed, even drawing the topography of Blackridge Mountain.

The Great Sage walked over to the planks and pointed to a curved wall to the north of the Twilight Forest. "Perhaps the soldiers of Dayton and Ogden did not know that the fortress of Magnus was not a straight line, but an arc, with the inside of the arc facing north, so that the intrusive enemy could be surrounded under the walls and dealt the greatest blow. ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, and Adeline took the pen from Elonhan's hand and drew three circles on the wall from west to north, then she pointed to the westernmost circle. "This is the westernmost part of the wall, Lucius...... Your Majesty. The Great Sage looked at Lucius. "Please have your falcons and hounds stationed here, the westerly winds prevail at this time of year, and I believe it will give the falcons of Dayton some advantages. ”

"Obey your arrangement, honorable Great Sage. Lucius nodded slightly, without any objections.

Although Adeline still remained calm, there was still a trace of gratitude in her eyes, she and Lucius had known each other for a long time, and they were comrades in arms who had fought together in the Far North more than twenty years ago, and now Lucius was already the king of a country, but he still respected his opinion and was willing to listen to his own arrangement. The Great Sage stabilized his mood and pointed to the larger circle in the middle. "This will be a place where there is a high possibility of a head-on clash with the Dark Tide, and since the fortress of Magnus is Altoona's domain, King Botarus, please lead all the infantry and archers of Altoona to garrison here. Adeline looked at King Altoona, who was sitting closest to her.

Botarus stood solemnly, straight like a statue. "The soldiers of Artuna will defend this line with their lives until the last man. ”

Adeline looked at King Altoona, who was over half a hundred years old. "May the Seven be with you, with Artuna, my friend. ”

Botarus nodded solemnly to the Grand Sage, and then sat down slowly, the king's muscular body almost submerging the entire chair. The Great Sage paused, and looked at Lucius again. "Your Majesty, please lead the remaining soldiers to assist Botarus in holding the central line. ”

Lucius still had no objections, nodding in agreement.

Finally the Great Sage pointed to the circle to the east. "The ridges here are much gentler than those on the west, and I have ordered work here for several days to chisel out the uneven hills, so that in a few days this will be a very high slope for cavalry charges, and with the help of the terrain, and the five hundred yards of ramps, the force of the cavalry will deal a fatal blow to the dark tide at the bottom of the valley, so, Windthor, Your Highness Ethan. Adeline looked at the two Ogdens sitting together. "Please place all the Holy Knights on the high slopes, and do not appear immediately at the beginning of the battle, and wait for the signal of the central line, I will sit in the center with Botarus and Lucius, and give you the signal at the most opportune time. ”

Wendthor stood up at the same time as Ethan. "The knights of Ogden will not fail in their mission, whether they are holy knights or ordinary knights, we will use our iron hooves to break through the front of the dark tide. ”

Adeline nodded slightly, then looked at Botarus. "Your Majesty, in order to cause enough damage to the Dark Tide's formation, the onslaught of cavalry will be our last card, and if it succeeds, the Dark Tide will recede, if it fails......" Adeline paused for a moment, and then continued. "So send your most trusted officer to lead Artuna in ambush with Dayton's cavalry on the high slope to the east, and charge down with Ogden's cavalry when you see the signal. ”

Eventually, Adeline drew a cross in the clearing north of the fortress. "When the cavalry charges down and meets the Dark Tide, all the soldiers stationed in the fortress must charge out of the fortress at the same time, and attack the formation of the Dark Tide from the front, and form a flanking attack on the Dark Tide with the cavalry, and the Hound of Dayton should also charge with the infantry from the front at this time. ”

The commanders of the three kingdoms nodded in understanding, and Botarus voiced his concerns. "What should we do if the dragon appears?"

"If there are not many dragons, the falcons of Dayton will fend them off for us, but I don't know how many of them there are, I have sent a small team to Black Ridge Mountain to destroy the hatching pool of the black dragons, they should have found it by now, let's pray for them. Adeline said, her eyes looking over to Stan and the others.

Ness nudged Rui slightly. "She's talking about Fern. ”

"Who else? pray for him, Ness. Rui patted Ness's hand gently.

"I don't care if Fern can destroy the hatchery, I just want him to come back safely. Ness clenched her hands into fists.

Botarus' voice pulled the crowd back from the conversation. "There is another problem that has to be said, everyone knows that demons have the ability to shock the hearts of ordinary people, and our soldiers may not have the ability to resist at all when facing those monsters, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Great Sage has any way?"

Adeline nodded slightly at King Altuna, motioning for him to sit down first. "In this battle, we have received the help of several mages, including a light mage who helped Doyle's army defeat two black dragons in the battle of Sarah, as well as a Wallis only elemental envoy for hundreds of years, and a dark mage who manipulates the shadows, and I have privately discussed with them how to deal with the special ability of the demon stunning, please rest assured. I am sure that they will help us a lot and bring us closer to victory. The Great Sage said, raising his chin to look in the direction of the three mages.

Everyone looked at the three girls according to the gaze of the great sage, and the girls nodded shyly in return, and then unconsciously lowered their heads. Stan was caught in the middle, and was embarrassed to look at, but as a knight, he had to keep his head up, and his resolute face occasionally flashed a twitch.

Adeline sat back down, and people began talking again, one after another. The three mages and Stan finally breathe a sigh of relief. "Did you see that? The group looked at us with suspicion in their eyes. Nerfi turned his head to the other two.

"This is normal, in their hearts, the people who can defeat the dark tide must be an old man with a long white beard. Rui shrugged.

"I will let them see my strength, so that they will not underestimate me. Nerfi puffed up her chest and looked ahead.

"It's us. Rui said lightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it in small sips.

"Listen to me, no matter what you do, your own safety is the most important thing, don't even want your life to prove yourself. Stan looks at the two mages worriedly. "If any of you have an accident, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, so I'll leave it to you. ”

Nerfi glanced at Stan and didn't say anything, and Rui secretly looked at the two with a wicked smile on his face.

Ness sat quietly on the side, sinking into her own world. "Fern, you must come back safely, nothing else matters, even if we lose this war, it doesn't matter, as long as you can come back safely. The girl clasped her hands in front of her chest and closed her eyes. "Please, Seven Gods, bless Fern. ”
