High Priest Tima also seemed to be a little moved, and there seemed to be some sparkling light in the huge bull's eyes, and his voice was trembling. "Thank you so much, let me have the honor to join you in this great cause. I swear in the name of the Horned Demon that my people and I will not let you down, and sooner or later that filthy and vile glorious castle of Celeste will be reduced to ruins beneath our feet. ”

The discussion proceeded unusually smoothly and quickly, without any haggling or hesitation, and the matter of the Minotaur and the Harpy joining Oufu was soon agreed between the Lord of Oufu and the High Priest of Minotaur. Cedros's enthusiasm was always high, with a glowing look and a smile on his face, and High Priest Tima was always impressed, and then High Priest Tima immediately rode the two-legged wyvern to the border between Tetaria and Negan, waiting for the migration of the people from Negan.

When the bipedal wyvern carried High Priest Tima high, and Cedelus on the ground slowly became a small dot, and it was no longer clear at night, the expression on High Priest Tima's face, which had been gentle and poetic, had already calmed down. Although the way of human communication is disgusting, High Priest Tima is no stranger to it, and if he can become a high priest, he will almost become the ruler of Negan, and High Priest Tima has to admit that it is because he has learned enough from humans.

It's a great place. High Priest Tima really had to admit this from the bottom of his heart. He was almost taken aback when he came here using a teleportation scroll, and Negan had been unimpressed when he heard about Cedrus' plan more than a decade ago. But I didn't expect him to do it, and it was so successful. In terms of achievements, no matter what kind of hero he is, he can't compare to him.

Because of this, the defense against him must also be better than the defense against anyone. High Priest Tima agrees with Cedros's previous evaluation of heroes, people who can succeed, occupy a high position, and have strength are definitely people who are scheming and will not be shackled by things like morality. Of course, it's the same with friendships and the like.

Cedelos was able to welcome himself like this, showing such generosity and enthusiasm. If he really had any friendship and affection, the High Priest knew that it was impossible, just as he himself could not have been truly grateful.

For Oufu, who is on the verge of war with the church at any time, thousands of desperate minotaurs and harpies are naturally an unavoidable resource. Cedros's reaction was entirely expected by Timma, who knew the result before he came here.

In the eyes of the truly successful superiors, anything is only useful, not useful. The difference between good and bad is very simple, so many times it is very simple to predict their reaction.

Of course, the same is true for High Priest Tima.

In the city lord's office, the face of the city lord of Oufu, who had just gone to see off the high priest of Tima, did not have the enthusiasm and radiance he had just now, he took out a map from the table, and casually threw his hand, and the wonderful air magic hung the map on the wall neatly.

The map is huge. Occupying almost a wall and making it well, Cedros himself was the most famous adventurer, polymath and cartographer on the continent.

In the middle of the map, in the middle of the wild highlands, in the middle of the Wild Heights, a number of ten was drawn with chalk, and Cedrus thought slightly, picked up a pen and wrote a "plus two" after this ten.

In the southwest corner of the map, representing Negan's place, Cedelus did not hesitate to write a zero to cover the original number. Then his gaze rested on the large area between Negan and Orfo. It was a large and small religious state led by Erathia under Celeste, and naturally it had its own numbers.

These numbers are all representative of the country's national strength and combat capability, although except for Erathia, none of these countries can come close to the "ten" that represents Oufu, but the total is far exceeded, and it is close to thirty.

Although this data had been like this before, it was only now, until Negan behind them had been covered by that zero that their data was fully used.

There was a knock on the door, and Cedrus didn't turn his head, still looking at the map on the wall, but whispered, "Have you figured it out?"

"It's all figured out. Settling in takes half a month, which consumes about 30 percent of the month's productivity, and if you settle in well, the average monthly expenditure will increase by 20 percent. There's no way to assess productivity, and I really don't know what the Minotaur and Harpy can do. The door opened, and Lord Porugan entered, reporting as he flipped through the ledger in his hand.

The deputy of the city lord is still very short and short, and he is already a face like a big cake, but the hair that is flying in the grass has become neat and smooth, and his body is no longer the cloak and clothes that have not been washed or changed for many years, but a very neat and seemingly imposing official uniform. It looks more like a city lord than a city lord of Cedros in ordinary clothes.

There are no tailors in Ofu City, and the orcs don't need this kind of profession, this is what Lord Porugan himself took out of his busy schedule to use the teleportation scroll to do specifically for Einfath, completely imitating the uniforms of the officials of the Einfast Empire, but no matter how good the clothes are worn on his figure, they really can't have any real effect.

Originally, this dress was just a specific piece of equipment when he went to the Tower of Teeth, and I don't know if it was because he was too satisfied with his look, but since then it has gradually become the uniform he has been hanging on his body.

"They don't have to do anything. If you can fight, you can kill people. Cedros replied lightly.

"Yes. The Minotaur is actually still above the ogre, and the Harpy is weak but agile, and if it can cooperate properly with the two-legged wyvern, Oufu's air superiority can no longer be shaken...... But ......" Lord Porugan habitually scratched his head, and then quickly smoothed his hair, and then continued. "But...... Only if it can be used can it be said to be useful......."

"Both the Harpy and the Minotaur are irascible and rebellious creatures, and it is difficult to fit into the city, and it is easy to provoke racial contradictions and conflicts. And they all have their own leaders, and these two leaders are still together...... It's okay if it's in peacetime, but in such extraordinary times...... Lord Sedros, I don't think it's a good idea to have them join Orfu. ”

"I know all of this......" Cedrus sighed. "But without them, I really don't have enough confidence to resist the coming offensive of the church......

"But it hasn't been long since the last defeat of the Church Alliance, and even if they gather again, they will not be ...... in number."

"The number will be twice as large as the last one. "Cedros's voice was flat and cold.

"They don't have to worry about Negan anymore, and all the nation's western defenses can be thrown into battle in the wild highlands. His finger landed on the map where Negan was, where there was only a big zero. "Double the force, and definitely with all the effort."

"But as long as we can wait for General Gru to lead the people to gain a foothold in the Sandface Mountains, we will have a steady stream of high-grade magic materials to be delivered, and the Tower of Teeth can help us make scrolls, and then..."

"It's too late. Cedros turned to look at Lord Porugan and let out a long sigh. He no longer had the refreshed appearance of his former appearance, the wrinkles on his face never seemed so deep, and his silver hair and beard were no longer shiny, but the paleness of an old man. "Magnus will never give us this chance. ”

"News from the spies over there in Celeste?" asked Lord Porugan.

"Nope. It was Tima's cow who gave me the news, and he told me that Magnus actually used that Purgatory Paradise on Negan. Cedros smiled wryly and shook his head slightly. "It was one of two Forbidden Spell Scrolls that the Pope and the three cardinals had spent their lives magically producing two hundred years ago, but it only took one to completely turn the tide of the war between Erathia and Negan. The remaining one has been kept to this day, and it is probably Celeste's most monumental treasure, and I had been worried that Margrus would use it against us, but he used it on Negan, taking advantage of the melee between the Minotaur and the Black Elves, and wiped out the main forces of both sides in one fell swoop. ”

"Awesome......" Lord Porugan nodded, opening his mouth wide enough to fit an ogre's fist. "Since we are willing to use such a powerful killer weapon on Negan, in fact, the real purpose is Oufu, and he really won't give us any chance. ”

"Yes. Cedros nodded, looking at his lieutenant with a prolific look. This is a smart man with no scheming, although he seems to be a little stupid in many cases, but his mind is indeed the best among so many young people under his command, so he has the most trust. A simple and intelligent person, this is a real talent.
