"Well, I'm willing to take over as regent"

Elle said to Kyle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This obviously made Kyle amused, and the face of the big elf wrapped in heavy armor suddenly relaxed.

Kyle respectfully took two steps back, then turned and walked behind the humble stone throne in the center of the hall and pulled out a delicate box.

Then he held it in front of Ellie.

Open the box, and inside is a ...... Pretty silver head ring.

The silver ring is placed on top of the red silk scarf, which looks very precious.

The shape is very similar to the one on the head of the Mespil.

There is no decoration and no pattern, it is very simple.

But it's much smaller than the one from Mespier.

Could it have been prepared for Ellie in advance?

Kyle respectfully picked up the ring with both hands and gently placed it on top of Ellie's head.

Although the size is just right, this weight ......

It was like being filled with lead, which made Elle very uncomfortable.

This feeling is also uploaded from the soul link.

Because the soul link between us has become very weak, I know that Ellie is unhappy in her heart.

"Rastadarrell—"

All the elves around spoke in unison.

But my mantra doesn't translate that sentence.

Could it be, the Old Elf?

"The Spruce Family Listens to Your Orders"

"The Shiraki family obeys your orders"

"The Yan Feng family is willing to obey your orders"

......

The other elves present seemed to be the commanders of the armies of the various families.

They all showed their obedience to Ellie.

It seems that in the family of the elves, it is different people who are in charge of political affairs and who are in charge of commanding the army.

Because when the eight major families gathered in the throne hall to bless Mespil as the elven king, it was not these people in front of me who spoke.

"By the way, how is the battle going now?"

Elle finally got back to the question after a long time.

Anyway, I'm also very interested in this issue.

As soon as Kyle heard the question, he immediately wilted.

He can't be blamed for that, though.

When Mespier first introduced us to this man, he made it very clear.

'Kyle Thunderbud, My Messenger'.

In other words, Kyle was not born to command the battlefield, and he didn't think about doing it.

Now that such a situation has formed, eighty percent of it is also a coincidence caused by some reason.

"Look at this ......"

Kyle gestured to the round table next to him.

Belch......

Ellie was stunned.

It's not because of the grim situation above.

But......

The table was more than a meter high, and Elle couldn't figure it out from the edge.

Kyle also discovered this embarrassing problem in an instant, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Ahem...... Imps"

Elle stiffened her face and didn't let out a fire, and forgave Kyle for her inconsiderate attitude with an atmospheric attitude.

Ha ha...... This little guy has just become the regent, and he has learned to put on a shelf~

"Uh-huh, yes, Your Highness Princess"

I hurriedly replied in a respectful tone.

It's rare for the little guy to work so hard, and I can't tear down her stage.

So I picked up Elle and put it on my shoulder.

Taking this opportunity, I also took a closer look at the large map on the round table.

If it weren't for this, I'd be too embarrassed to sneak in and peep, after all, it's a military map, uh...... Map?

On the round table is a map of what is indeed a close approximation of the Dawn Mountains, with slight protrusions and depressions to show the mountains and valleys.

The forest is also marked with a dense fluff and dyed with the same color as in reality.

On the yellow mountains of the west, a golden city of Ergonda is also vivid, as exquisite as a miniature version of the royal city.

It's just that......

"What about the army's mark?"

Elle asked directly, and it seemed that she also saw the question.

What is now on the round table is not a schematic diagram of the operation at all, but at most a map of the scenery of the tourist area.

"This ......"

Kyle grimaced again.

"Don't be like this, just say what you have to say, I'm different from my brother, you know"

It's so rare~

Elle was unexpectedly unexpectedly unharmed by others and said a good word.

Kyle seemed to let go of a lot of the burden in his heart.

But there was still a sense of self-shame that permeated his face.

He stretched out his hand and made a 'hood' motion.

"This great barrier above the Dawn Mountains has hindered all of our communication and perception magic, and there is no way to know the location of the army now......"

Well, I kind of understand that Kyle is ashamed of everything.

How can you not even know where the army is!?

Is this still a commander?

Wait, just in case, I asked more.

"Are you all the commanders of the various families?"

I looked at the elves in the hall, dressed in various robes and different styles of armor.

The people who had sworn an oath to Ellie just now looked at each other in confusion.

"No, we're heralds"

Dizzy!

And so it was!

"In other words, now the eight major families are leading their own armies and fighting their own battles, and Wang Cheng is completely unclear about their whereabouts?"

Kyle bowed his head in shame.

"That's roughly the case, but we know the direction in which each family is going."

A herald said.

"It's better than nothing, mark them on the map"

Heralds, look at me, I'll look at you.

"Do as He Says"

Ellie hurried to help me with the round.

Oops, I got into the role so much that I forgot that the current protagonist is Ellie.

Fortunately, Princess Elle is very popular, and when she said a word, everyone immediately obeyed the order.

It's just that......

The elves didn't pick up a pen and draw on the map, as I thought, or pick up the model and put it on it, but—

The heralds reached out and pointed at the map, and the image appeared on the map.

Like a flow formed by an army of ants, it is presented all over the map.

It's literally a holographic image of an army marching.

"It's so advanced."

As soon as I said half a sentence, these effects suddenly disappeared one after another.

"It really doesn'...... work"

Ellie said regretfully.

"What's wrong?"

"These sand tables are based on perceptual magic"

"We have perceptual magic triggers throughout the Dawn Mountains, and these triggers will send intelligence back and form a map, so everything is real-time"

"Now that the perceptual magic and communication magic are obscured, the map is no longer functional."

I pour!

Let's just say how a group of such high-level creatures could come up with such an inferior defense plan.

It turned out that it was sent back to prehistoric times by sudden, natural disaster-level magic.

It used to rely too much on magic to deploy troops, and now once this means is destroyed, it is completely stupid.

"Well, if you don't have a flat map, draw it with a pen"

All the heralds looked at me in amazement, as if they thought my idea was too primitive and inconceivable.

"You can use the round table next to it"

Kyle suggested.

Although this person has no leadership skills, he is very cooperative in his attitude.

I'm beginning to understand why Mespier chose him as a messenger.

Kyle stood in front of a round table and stretched out his hands, and the three-dimensional map on it flattened out in a flash.

It's like pushing the sand table all over again.

The crowd drew mountains, rivers, valleys, hills on it......

After three or two minutes, a map was ready.

"Now we need to know where the armies of each family have started and where they are going."

The heralds began to concentrate on drawing the route of the march on the map again.

When it was over, it seemed that there were armies all over the Dawn Mountains, some by land, some by air, and some by water.

Like an eagle catching chickens, a long snake formation eventually formed at the foot of the mountain range west of the Dawn Mountains.

It extends from the southwesternmost Black Soil Pass to the northwestward North Pass Pass.

If you count the city of Ergonda in the middle, it can really be said that a great wall of human flesh has been built.

Looking at this deployment map, I almost felt the urge to smile wryly.

But in front of this group of soldiers who are desperately defending the Dawn Mountains, they really can't laugh.

"That was a few days ago, right?"

Considering that the opening of the Great Barrier in the Heavens was after we left the Dawn Mountains, I'm afraid this deployment map has expired.

"Excluding the time for the army to assemble and march, the armies of each family are in a long shape, and the deployment should have been completed two days ago"

Two days...... It's been too long.

"Well, what we need most now is intelligence"

I turned my head and glanced at Liu Xiao who was standing beside me.

She was also looking at the map carefully with her half-open dead fish eyes.

The girl did not object to what I said, which means that I am not so wrong that I am not outrageously wrong.

"Can you use teleportation magic to jump directly to the front line?"

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and then they all shook their heads.

"Little ghost, door magic can indeed jump that far, but only if there is sentient magic to help find the location of the landing point"

Since perceptual magic can't be used now, then it definitely won't work, I see.

"So is there any way to get the information back from the front as quickly as possible?"

Again, you look at me, and I look at you.

The current situation reminds me of the ancient battlefield, and the words of the ancient battlefield......

"Are there any pigeons or something?"

Everyone looked at me again with a look of surprise.

"Anyway, it's something that flies fast, or something like a fire charm?"

"Our eagles may be up to the task"

A herald volunteered.

I think he's ...... The Blade Family?

"He's Hatak Blade, and there are many good hunters in their family, and Eagle is one of their most loyal companions."

As if she had read the question in my mind, Elle took the initiative to introduce it to me.

"Okay, now I need your Eagle friends to help"

"We need to form a team dedicated to receiving and delivering intelligence, and more than a dozen people will be able to be responsible for flying the messenger eagle in Elgonda."

"Let them fly to the front lines as soon as possible, and collect all the local military strength, position, logistics, and most importantly, enemy intelligence"

"By the way, it's night......"

The problem seemed serious, and I looked at the herald of the Fengye family with anticipation.

"The owls in the forest are also our allies"

Ok, this answer is more reassuring than anything else.

"Okay, let's do it now"
