Chapter 694: New Order
Ryan played with the Mithril Hollow Ball in his hand, while listening to several of his entourage report to himself the information collected in the last day, sitting in this border military camp for three days, Victor's news did not have any special clue, on the contrary, the unfavorable news from the opposite Rakshasa Demon followed one after another, especially today can be described as serious.
"My lord, according to the latest information, this morning, the ten legions of the Rakshasa Demon have crossed their borders and entered the buffer zone between them and the territory of the Dark Elves, and their vanguard has arrived on the outskirts of Herzplon City, but according to the agreement reached between the two of us, they did not enter the city, but continued to advance around the city. A female assistant sent by Aledia recited the contents of the information to Ryan, her face visibly full of concern.
Ryan's eyes showed deep meaning, and he began to wonder if Aledia had deliberately brought herself here so that she could use her own strength to help her resist the attack of the Rakshasa Demon, because if the million army continued to advance, it would definitely enter the territory of the Dark Elves near the town of Arrichi, and the closest to this place was the border military camp where Ryan was, and it was certain that troops would be sent here to intercept it.
However, Ryan did not show this conjecture on his face, the subordinate relationship between him and Aledia is just for outsiders to see, in fact, the two sides are fundamentally a cooperative relationship, and the key to maintaining this relationship is the mutual trust between the two parties, if Aledia actually uses Ryan as a expendable in this boring battle in front of her, then it will inevitably cause Ryan to distrust her, which shakes the foundation of cooperation between the two sides, and that is really a big trouble.
So Ryan decided to wait and see, after all, the opponent is no more than a million-level legion, either Ryan and Faraz make a move, and the other party does not have the corresponding super strong to intercept it, so it will not take much effort to destroy these ordinary legions, even if Aledia wants to deal with Ryan, she will not use such inferior means, let alone use it in a hurry at this moment.
"My lord, since Hertsplon City has been sealed, we will not be able to get new information from there from today, and because of the dispatch of the Rakshasa Demon Army, we will basically be blinded by their battlefield, so from tomorrow we can only receive information from the territory. After the female assistant read the contents of the information, she added a few words.
For this situation, Ryan naturally did not force it, he thought about it, and asked: "I have a doubt, why do you want to establish Hertzplon City in the buffer zone between the two sides? Especially since this city is still under the jurisdiction of the Rakshasa Demon, aren't we afraid that they will use this city as a base to attack? No matter how bad it is, there is a very good supply location." ”
The female dark elf assistant immediately replied to Ryan: "Oh, here's the thing, although we have to fight against the Rakshasa Demon, it is difficult to completely abandon trade with them, so even during the war, there will be no unfavorable actions against the Rakshasa Demon's caravan, of course, the necessary search is certain, they are not allowed to trade weapons, armor, food and other military materials during the war." ”
"So we specifically agreed that cities like Herzplon would not allow the Rakshasa army to enter or leave even during the war, and accordingly other cities in the buffer zone, so they would only provide some information at best. The female dark elf assistant continued: "In addition, the same is true for territories like Vlar City, which belong to us, and of course the use of the teleportation magic circle will be much stricter. We dark elves and rakshasa demons are both races that have stood for an unknown number of thousands of years, and one or two millennium wars will only lose some marginal interests at most, and it is impossible to hit us hard, so unless the rakshasa demon is sure to completely destroy our dark elves this time, he can only abide by this agreement, because the millennium war will always end. ”
"I see. Ryan's fingers were slightly cocked back, causing the hollowed-out Mithril Ball to keep rolling between his fingers, an action he wasn't very skilled at, but Ryan had hundreds of ways to keep the hollowed-out Mithril Ball from falling off his fingers. Ryan finally grabbed the Mithril Orb in the palm of his hand and said to all the attendant assistants in the room, "Go ahead and do your own thing, but the primary purpose is to ensure your own safety, and if the Rakshasa Demon comes here, and this military camp is the duty to fight against the enemy, remember to call me along." ”
"Yes, my lord!" the several legendary-level assistants agreed together, and the expressions on their faces seemed to become much more relaxed, perhaps because of Ryan's promise to help the dark elves, so that these assistants sent by Aledia had a certain affection for Ryan in their hearts, of course, one of them still spoke: " But adults don't have to worry about anything, the Rakshasa Demon will not enter our territory in a hurry, if they don't have a backup for their million legions, at most they will get some cheap at the beginning, and then sooner or later they will be wiped out by us, and the commander of the other party will not be so stupid. ”
"Yes, I remember the usual examples, the Rakshasa was stationed in the buffer zone, waiting for follow-up reinforcements to approach in a big way, and then there would be small-scale friction, and then it would slowly escalate into a local conflict. Another dark elf assistant also said boldly: "The real focus of the battle is actually the subordinate planes of our two sides, such as the Netherworld region you have been to, etc., of course, that plane is too remote for the Rakshasa Demon to see." When the vassal forces of both sides are almost consumed, it will be the turn of this side, and when the time comes, the strategic level battle will be held under the pressure of the super strong, and that is the most thrilling moment. ”
Ryan held the hollowed-out Mithril orb, listening to these assistants tell him the story of the previous millennium wars, although it is impossible to cover everything, but at least he can know some more classic or fierce examples, of course, Ryan has not yet had any sense of belonging to the dark elves, so these examples are basically listened to by him as stories, no matter how wonderful the assistants tell, they can't resonate in Ryan's heart.
"It is impossible for a large army to march without leaving a trace, the footprints of walking, the water source of drinking, the traces of camping, etc., and an experienced scout can draw detailed information from the deserted wilderness with only a few glances. Although battlefield shelter can delay this situation, no matter how much shelter is used, the fortresses and military camps located in key areas are absolutely unavoidable, and the Battle of the Talba River broke out in this situation, and the Rakshasa demon army can only advance along this river in order to obtain enough drinking water, so it launched a seizure ......" A dark elf assistant was saying this, suddenly interrupted by the sound of pushing the door open.
Walking in from outside the room was a herald in the barracks, who brought Ryan the latest order from Aledia, and Ryan received the engram from the herald, which Aledia had specially opened the miniature magic circle to teleport, and when the herald activated the engram with a special technique, Aledia's image appeared in the room.
Aledia's magic image was naturally exactly the same as herself, her upper body appeared in the air, and she said: "Ryan, things have changed, we have to renegotiate the solution, please speed up your existing task, or if there is no obvious progress in this task for the time being, return to Alydiar City first, I have other important matters to be handed over to you to deal with!"
Ryan didn't answer anything, because the image released by this engram was just a redisplay of the previous content, and it would not have the same magical effect as a projection like the demigod monarch, and of course it would be impossible to have a conversation with Ryan. Aledia's new order is obviously used to explain, it shows that Aledia does not want Ryan to be a consumable, it is just an accident, and Ryan can also leave the front line and return to the rear anytime and anywhere according to this order, so as to completely clear the suspicion that fell on Aledia's head.
After saying these things, Aledia's image gradually began to blur, and soon disappeared, and the engram crystal was also shattered, this is the only way to transmit secret information in the army, I don't know the specific activation method, you can only destroy the engram, and the engram will be automatically destroyed after fulfilling its mission, so as not to be captured by the enemy and leak secrets.
The herald completed his mission after getting Ryan's autograph, and he didn't linger long, just pushed the door open and left. Ryan was noncommittal about the new order, and motioned for his assistants to continue telling him about the events that had broken out in the previous millennial war, and the hollowed-out Mithril orb still spun in his hand, looking rather leisurely.
After waiting for the dark elf assistant to finish telling the story of the battle of the Talba, Ryan stretched out and got up from his seat, unaware that he had been here all morning, and it was time to go back to enjoy a good lunch with Faraz. The assistants who saw Ryan leave quickly got busy again, they had to sort out and sort the newly collected information, which may not contain Victor's whereabouts, but a detailed analysis may lead to other valuable content, of course, nothing can be missed, and soon these legendary assistants were immersed in their work, completely leaving the hollow Mithril orb that Ryan was playing with behind.
