For Julien, his plans have gone well so far, but they haven't been perfect, and Ofariel's coma is the biggest loss. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So far, Ofariel has not shown her talents as a military commander and adjutant, but this is also because there is no way for Yulian to give her too much experience at present, after all, he has been in the previous battles at his fingertips, and he has not made any preparations at all, so Ofariel naturally has no way to do anything in this regard. However, it was at this time that her influence as an adjutant of internal affairs manifested itself.

In all fairness, the financial income of the Twilight Forest has always been very deformed, and for many territories, they are more interested in obtaining profits through the commercial value of their own territories, but the Twilight Forest is the complete opposite, to put it relatively bluntly, the City of the Lost is completely dependent on the collection of protection fees and tolls, and what commercial income and profits are not in their share at all.

But this is obviously abnormal in O'Fariel's view, and they are not a mafia -- even if they are mafia, isn't the protection fee just so that the merchants can make more money to honor themselves?

So, a long time ago, Offariel began to transform the Twilight Forest, she vigorously developed the commercial resources in the territory, and joined forces with the Chamber of Commerce to open up the market, trying to make the Twilight Forest more like a normal territory, at least she hoped that the Twilight Forest could achieve food self-sufficiency, and at the same time could carry out a certain degree of weapon manufacturing work. Ofaril did not have any delusions about developing the Twilight Forest into a big city, for the simple reason that Yulian and his men did not have such ambition at all, so the former princess had no choice but to retreat and try to transform the Twilight Forest into a typical example of "small sparrows, all internal organs". That is to say, in terms of food, Valhalla City should be self-sufficient, and in terms of materials, it can also achieve self-production. These two points are actually not difficult, and now, thanks to her efforts, the cycle of conscience within Valhalla has actually completed a rudimentary form.

And just then, she fell.

Although Charlotte took over most of O'Faryl's work, she had no way to take over O'Faryl's connections, and many businesses that were about to reach an agreement with O'Faryl before were also gone, after all, the contract was already troublesome to negotiate, and when the two sides were about to reach a consensus, such a trouble happened, and Charlotte's insertion meant that they had to talk about it again, not everyone had this patience.

Charlotte had already reluctantly told Yulian that three or four chambers of commerce had withdrawn from the previous negotiations, and although they had not closed the door to signing the contract, for now, the indefinite delay and refusal to proceed was just a matter of not giving face.

This made Yu Lianda frown, although relying on the source, he didn't need any special materials to develop Valhalla City, but the source couldn't conjure bread and milk for you after all. Coupled with the fact that almost all of his current Wandering Maids have materialized, this leads to the fact that almost all of the Mana produced in the Fountain will be gathered to restore them.

You must know that these ghost maids are still dead people after all, not living creatures, they have no way to gain power through ordinary food like ordinary humans, ordinary knights, like Lintillot, Julien, Sidwig and others, although they will also consume a lot of power, but they are still alive after all, eat something to rest, recovery, maybe it will take a little time, but it will be good.

But these geist maids are different, their souls are constructed into a double-edged sword, and while they can cast their power more smoothly, they will also quickly consume their power. And these powers, they have no way to obtain by eating, only by directly absorbing Mana.

After the previous battles in Yuren, especially the one in Ashen Valley, the Spirit Maids had already begun to take turns to replenish them, otherwise, the Mana reserves in their bodies would not be able to support their materialization, and by that time it would be completely finished.

And this is also the reason why Yuren has never carried out a large-scale expansion of the Valhallic City after the construction of the Mage Tower, after all, these things are to consume Mana, and it is better not to consume them if they can not be consumed. That's why he used the usual construction model for the next urban expansion, and now, it's all stopped.

Now, Offariel didn't know anything about it, and she was still lying quietly in bed, being her sleeping beauty.

"It doesn't seem like it's going to be very good. ”

Yuren frowned, glanced at the girl who was still sleeping, and then moved his gaze to Shirley, after returning, Shirley took over the job of taking care of Ofaril again, as she said, she was not interested in reviving Orlut to be the queen, the reason why she said that before was because Yuren wanted her to do this, and now that her work is done, then she will return to her usual status.

However, it is not completely without change.

"My lord, I don't think there's any point in me staying here. ”

The mercenary girl said to him with an embarrassed face.

"Pardon my rudeness, but I think I should have paid more attention to my previous mission, about that ........."

"We can take a break from that, Miss Mary. ”

Yuren originally planned to tease her, but seeing that Offariel's situation did not improve at all, and Messiah and Semiya also agreed that her current situation was troublesome, he lost this mood, but for Yuren, he would not let go of the plan to do, and taking advantage of it was just an unplanned pastime.

"I have a new task for you to complete now, and I think you have seen it in the Mana Court before, and now Princess Shirley is a very important person, she wants to revive the kingdom of Orrut and drive the Sith invaders out of it. This means that she will be quite threatened, so I would like someone to protect her, and I saw that you guys have been quite talkative before, so it is right for you to give this task to you, and more importantly, ............"

"What's more?"

"In fact, my intelligence shows that you seem to have started to get close to some danger because of your investigation, Miss Mary, and although we haven't figured out the source yet, if you let it go, then those guys are likely to attack you, which is not the result I want to see, so I also hope that you can stay here, so that it will be easier for us to protect you. ”

"But, my lord. ”

Mary frowned in confusion, feeling that Julien's words seemed to be a little contradictory.

"I can still persevere, and mercenaries are meant to do this kind of work, of course I understand that this is a very important and critical period, but this is also an opportunity........."

"Of course I understand that, Miss Mary. ”

Yulian interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"But frankly speaking, I'm more worried about you, the other party is a force that can attack us, so I'm very worried about whether your strength as a mercenary can support it, I'm worried that at that time, if something happens to you, then it is very likely to lead to the complete failure of the previous investigation, and now I want you to stay here, please rest assured, of course I don't intend for you to give up this mission, but I want to ensure your life, so, I hope you can do what I say." Of course, I can't give you advice on the investigation, but at least there are other things I can help you with. ”

“.................. Yes, I see, my lord. ”

The little girl is easy to deceive, although Mary has been a mercenary for some years, but at this moment, in the face of Yulian's words, she hesitated for a moment and still agreed. Although she didn't know what Yuren wanted to do, her instincts told her that it was always right to trust the other party.

In fact, Mary will make such a decision, and Xueli's "brainwashing" is not unrelated, in fact, after the previous Mana court, she has been following Xueli's side, and in the face of a young girl of the same age, Xueli is naturally very happy to make a friend, so she also said a lot of comments about Yulian, as the saying goes, the lover's eyes are shih Tzu, and Xueli was deliberately deceived by Yulian - so what Yulian's image is like from her mouth, fools know.

And Mary is also tragic, of course, she knows that the other party's status is higher than herself, and she is closer to Julien than herself, so that the evaluation that comes out of her mouth cannot always be deceiving herself--no wonder, if even if she is convinced that it is true, even if it is false, it will come true.

For Mary here, of course Yulian doesn't plan to let go, at least the Blue Feather mercenary group under his nose is a noteworthy object, plus the upcoming war with the Sith Empire, he will never allow problems in his backyard, so he will make this choice, tie Mary to his side, and at the same time quietly arrange a ghost to spy on her, on the one hand, in order to protect her life, and on the other hand, it is also deliberately causing chaos within the mercenary group, anyway, whether the result is successful or not, there is no aftermath for him。

And at this moment, the Sith Empire finally made a move.

They stopped their assault on the northern countries and began to shrink their defenses, and then quickly gathered their forces to press and launched an attack on the territory of the Zack family!

Sensing the changes in the Sith Empire, the Zack family certainly couldn't sit still, and in the face of the Sith Empire's attack, they quickly opened their defenses.

The first battle between the two sides started quickly, but the battle itself was not as one-sided as people thought, because the four generals of the Sith Empire did not come out of the battle, but sent an ordinary combat corps to attack, although the strength of these regular armies is not weak, but after all, the Zack family is also a nobleman from military merit, plus it is in its own territory, so it still resisted the first wave of the opponent's offensive, the vanguard of the Sith Empire 3,000 people launched a surprise attack on the territory of the Zack family, but soon retreated under the defense of the other party, leaving more than 1,000 corpses, and the Zack family also paid 1,500 casualties, which can be said to be a mutual victory。

But soon the Sith Empire made a comeback again, and the four generals of Damnation still did not appear, but this time it was obviously not a test but a formal attack, and the three waves of continuous offensive made the Zack family very tight, and fortunately they were born in the military, and there were many strong swordsmen and soldiers in the family.

But even so, they were in a worrying situation, and after paying more than 5,000 casualties again, the Zack family finally couldn't help but ask for help from the Twilight Forest -- no wonder they were so cautious, after all, the contract only gave you three chances, and no one wanted to waste the opportunity. And now for the Zack family, the strength of the Sith Empire is too strong, and it takes time for the soldiers in their family territory to gather, originally the Zack family planned to establish a defense line as quickly as possible, but now that their army has not been assembled, the other party has already intervened, if they don't stop it, I'm afraid that before the assembly is completed, their defense line has been torn apart. That's why the Zach family had to ask for help from Yuren, hoping that they could help them fend off the attack in order to buy time.

And for the Zack family's request, You Lian did not hesitate, and with a stroke of the pen, agreed!

As a result, reinforcements from the Twilight Forest soon appeared in front of their line with the Zack family's expectations.

It's just that this reinforcement is really unimaginable.

Because there is only one person.

"Miss Charlotte.........

Della looked at the head maid in front of her and felt that her smile was not so normal.

"This............ On behalf of the Zach family, I would like to welcome you......... I don't know how you're going to defend the line?"

"Simple, huh?"

In response to Della's inquiry, Charlotte pointed to the truck behind her, which was tightly wrapped, and she didn't know what was inside.

"I have my own way, as long as you follow the command, no problem. ”

"Well, of course not. ”

Although he was very confused about the strength of this young lady in his heart, since the other party was here, Dra, as the representative of the Zack family, was not able to say anything, but it was really difficult for him to imagine that such a young lady alone would be able to hold the entire line of defense?

However, he soon got a chance to answer, because in three days, the assembled Scythian team would once again appear in front of everyone. And this time, Drapo also kept his promise to let Charlotte take charge of the defense this time, in fact, he was also very curious about what this young lady could do to stop the attack of the Sith Empire.

However, at the pre-war meeting, Charlotte's tactics startled everyone in the room.

"All I need are archers, give them all to me, guys, and as for the rest of the troops, huh......... Stay in the back until the battle is over, and after that, it's up to you whether you want to go up or not. ”

This is simply an unimaginable way of fighting for everyone, as long as the archers are on top, you must know that the defense line of the Zack family is not a red fortress, there are not so tall walls to hold onto, they can only open the defense through some obstacles, even if the bow and arrow shoot well, the opponent's two rounds of assault, their side will not be able to stop it at all. And in this case, she only needs archers and retreats the other classes to the back?

Moreover, although their archers are also trained, there is still a gap compared to the army of the Sith Empire, and they are inferior to each other in accuracy and accuracy, even if they shoot each other, it is impossible to win.

In the face of Della's problem, Charlotte said that it was not a problem at all.

"I just want them to shoot far, and I can't fail to meet that requirement. ”

Of course, this is possible, and if you don't pursue accuracy, of course you can shoot a little farther, but the problem is ......... If you're not looking for accuracy, what are you shooting that far?

That's what he said, but since the other party has come, the Zack family has no choice but to listen to the other party, anyway, in their opinion, they can't hold it anyway, since this reinforcement from the Knights of the End has her own ideas, then let her try it, maybe there will be some miracles.

In this way, everyone soon ushered in the third offensive and defensive battle.

It's still early.

Early in the morning of the third day, just as the sun had just risen, the Sith army appeared on the other side of the horizon.

"I'm afraid they numbered 7,000 to 10,000. ”

Della stood at the back of the line, staring at the blurred black dot in the distance, and said to Charlotte beside her with a hint of concern.

"There are only three thousand of us, Miss Charlotte, and it's a bit difficult. ”

As he spoke, Della looked at the defense line in front of him, where a neat row of archers was already in place, but unlike usual, at this moment they were standing in two straight lines, spreading far away, this is really not a good idea, although Della knew that in this way their range would be large, but it also meant that the power would be weakened at the same time, after all, there were only two columns, and it was completely impossible to suppress the opponent's actions, and in the face of this drizzling attack, as long as the opponent pressed once, then the back line on his side would be completely torn apart, and there would be no place to cry when the time came。

"I would suggest that we concentrate our forces in order to inflict maximum damage on the enemy. ”

"Whew. ”

Charlotte laughed happily at Dra's suggestion, and then she held out a finger and put it to her lips.

"Mr. Della, I think you've made a mistake. ”

"What's the matter?"

"War is not stopped by hurting each other, it is by love. ”

"Huh?"

Della couldn't understand what Charlotte meant, and Charlotte stopped talking, turning her head back and looking into the distance.

"Prepare for the attack. ”

With Charlotte's order, the horn sounded, and then, the archers raised their longbows and aimed at the sky, they had been ordered, knowing that this shot only depends on the range and accuracy, although many veterans were a little puzzled about what the use of this was, but as soldiers, they still obeyed this order.

Everything looks the same as before, but if you look closely, you will find that the arrows of those soldiers have changed at this moment, they are no longer ordinary arrows, but translucent, glass-like objects, and a pale pink liquid can be faintly seen inside.

This is exactly what Charlotte brought before, and she also demanded that all archers need to change their arrows so that they can guarantee victory.

Although this statement is really unconvincing, since I said it, I have no choice but to do it. But in the eyes of many soldiers, this thing doesn't look like an arrow at all, and it is not as good as the explanation of black iron, I am afraid that it will be broken when it is knocked on, what kind of damage can such a thing cause to the other party?

And at this time, the Sith Empire was gradually approaching.

Watching them, Della began to get nervous, if they got any closer, they would have been attacked!

And at this moment, Charlotte finally gave the order.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With the sound of the order, waves of arrows rained straight into the sky, and then shot in the direction of the Sith Empire.

And for the army of the Sith Empire, it was a completely inexplicable attack.

In fact, by the time they approached the line, the soldiers of the Sith Empire were ready for battle, and in their experience, as long as they got closer, they could charge, and at that time, the other side would never be able to resist.

But now, they actually attacked in advance?

What's the use of that?

Looking at the rain of arrows in the sky, no one in the Sith Empire was nervous, they could all see that this rain of arrows was still some distance away from them, and it couldn't hurt them at all, what was going on?

Since they're making a mistake, take advantage of this opportunity to hit them with a quick attack!

Thinking of this, the army of the Sith Empire quickly increased its speed, trying to take this opportunity to rush forward and directly disperse the other party!

And at this moment, they found that the rain of arrows had shot in front of them.

Then, pink smoke erupted from it.

What the hell is this?

Everyone was stunned.
