Richard thought for a while and said: "If she runs, run away, even if she runs to the Divine Domain, they can solve it together, anyway, her importance is not comparable to that of the goddess." Let's do it. Looking forward to your good news!"

Primatis gave a military salute and replied loudly, "Yes!"

Gracez is a small, quiet country with few resources and a sparse population, and the people who live here live a simple life in this extremely cold land covered with snow and ice all year round. Since the Great Night War, which established the pattern of the world, the demons have launched several wars of aggression against Yugdelsiru, perhaps because of the harsh climate, or because they are worthless, and the flames of war have never reached Grez.

However, this tranquility was shattered a few months ago, when Yorum and her troops shattered the tranquility here. It's just that the cities that have been attacked are all cities in the west, and there has been a peaceful life in the east, but this peace will also disappear now.

In order to wash away the shame, Zonoz attacked extra hard this time, and every attack did not hesitate his strength, although the border troops were strengthened, but they could not resist the release of dark power by Zonoz again and again. The wooden towers and stone walls that had fallen into disrepair were easily crushed by Al Ain's engineering troops. Now Richard stood on the ground that had been repeatedly rested by artillery fire and dark energy.

"It's cold. Richard tightened his clothes, and Fina and Onexia had already changed into their coats of precious animal skins.

Richard took a turn around the camp, and it was a little strange that, according to the plan, now the first corps of Zonoz and the second corps of Johisa had been drawn. However, the seven regiments that participated in the battle of Glaz were stationed in place, except for the newly formed 13th Corps (composed of faceless Naga fishmen).

"Let's go, go to the temporary headquarters. ”

Richard called Fina and Onexia to find the three who were arguing fiercely at Command.

Richard interrupted them: "What's going on? Why are the troops still here?"

Zonorz and Johisa moved out of the way, and Richard walked in, and Primatis Flasha explained: "There was an accident that caused our plans to need to be changed. ”

Richard frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"There are only two forces left of Grez now, one is the army of the goddess and the other is our army. Yorum has been wiped out. ”

"Wiped out? How could this have happened? Didn't the fighting here go on a week ago? Yorum still occupied three cities in the east. ”

Primatis confirms this: "Yes, it was true before we set foot on this land. ”

Pointing to a river on the map that was close to him, Primatis continued: "It was here that a decisive battle broke out, and our men rescued a trapped Yorum soldier, who told us about the situation. Yorum unbelievably gathered all his forces and launched an attack on the enemy. What was even more stupid was that she ordered her troops to forcibly cross the river and attack the enemy forces who had already set up an array on the opposite side. Diluca says that Rigredo doesn't like fighting, but is good at defense, and that there are many ranged troops in his army, and that Yorum's army was killed in the icy waters. Having lost his army, Yorum fled to the forests deep in the north, and Ligredo regained the three eastern cities. ”

Richard was a little puzzled, "Why did she do that?"

"She made this stupid decision when we started attacking, and we always thought she was stimulated by us," Primmatis laughed. In particular, she has always looked down on Rocky, but as a result, Rocky suddenly took the lead in the battle for the king, not only won a country, but now has the strength to attack the second one, which made her mentally unstable explode all of a sudden, and eventually led to total annihilation. ”

Richard said disdainfully: "I can't even bear this pressure and be a general." Her soldiers are pitiful. If only our opponents were all of this kind of goods. ”

Primatis shrugged and said, "Obviously it can't be. ”

"That's what I just say. Richard asked, "Aren't you all in agreement, what are you arguing about?"

"We are really unified in what we are doing, but we are divided on what to do next," Primatis explained. ”

"The plan hasn't changed quickly, where are your points of disagreement?"

Zonoz and Johisa clattered, and Primatis spoke in their language, and Richard understood. Since Yorum was eliminated ahead of schedule, there was one less advantageous point of containment, and several people disagreed about the next offensive plan. Zonoz thinks that no matter what happens, he is not afraid to do it! Continuing the original plan is the right way, Johisa thinks that he should learn the lessons of the Spring Country and eat them steadily, and Primatis still proposes to divide his troops but does not insist on breaking through.

Richard looked at the small flags planted on the map, and was about to say what he thought, but was interrupted by the guards who ran in.

"Report! Enemy troops have been found on the other side of the river! The leading general is none other than Ligredo, the goddess of the Winter Country!"

"What! doesn't she know tired?" Richard immediately ordered, "all ready for battle!"

Arrayed across the river, Ligredo's forces were a defensive force with human artillery and magicians at their core, and the artillerymen and magicians were firmly guarded in the center by the hoplites, and it seemed that it would take some effort to eliminate them. Richard was not as stupid as Yorum, he forced himself to cross the river, even if he had absolute superiority in strength, and every soldier had to be used on the blade.

Richard asked Primatis, "Does Ain have enough range?"

Primatis glanced at it with his measuring tool: "Almost." ”

"So. Richard looked at Ain: "Shell!"

Ain nodded, and was just about to leave, when Richard gave Ain a thumbs up and encouraged: "Little Ain, come on!"

Ain's eyes flickered a little, and he nodded heavily, and went to command the siege troops.

Primatis scratched his head, and Vaschi was right again, and Richard was flirting all the time, even the half-mechanical Ain.

The light produced by the artillery bombardment and magic flickered on the river, and for some reason, the siege troops, known for their accuracy, were so inaccurate in the battle that many shells could not even cross the river, while the enemy's shells smashed on Richard's artillery position with extraordinary accuracy, causing considerable losses and even destroying a crystal gun carriage.

Richard looked at the battlefield suspiciously, his side was still in a geographically advantageous area: "There is a problem! There must be a problem!"
