Chapter 369: The Missing Undead
In the middle of the moon, Fernando finally told the truth what he wanted to say, this was supposed to be a welcome party, no matter how irreconcilable the two sides were, at least they had to get by on the face, otherwise it would be too stingy, making people laugh, who knew that Fernando actually turned the welcome meeting into a military meeting, strictly speaking, it was not necessary, in the whole town of Moramachi, almost no one knew military affairs except for Kumoro Gosha, and Gumoro Gosha did not attend, Fernando was simply playing the piano to the cow. 【】
Fernando not only told his plan, but also showed the strategic objectives of each stage, the two sides did not exchange information about Blackwater City, but Fernando put forward the idea of a joint attack between the north and the south, obviously he knew the situation of Blackwater City, and knew that Blackwater City had the strength to switch from defense to offense. An Fei remembered that Fernando had just mentioned the Eagle King Mangshu, and his heart was relieved.
Fernando also told a thing that puzzled all countries, since the beginning of the surprise, all countries have used all their potential to set up defenses, stabilize the front, and buy time to breathe, but the offensive of the undead creatures has fallen into a period of weakness, their number is far lower than estimated, but the necromancers have almost disappeared inexplicably.
Taking the country of mercenaries as an example, the population of the Hengduan Valley is not high, but the further north it goes, the denser the population becomes, the large and small villages and towns are densely dotted, and the distance between the villages and towns is only a dozen or even a few miles, and this large area was looted by the undead creatures at the beginning, and few people escaped. By the most conservative estimates. The undead creatures in this area have reached about 250,000, and the 250,000 undead creatures are enough to make hundreds of necromancers advance and keep hundreds of necromancers full of magic at all times, that is to say, there should be a necromancer group in this area.
This is not the case, but the number of undead creatures is between 100,000 and 150,000 at most, and the necromancer does not see that much. Where are the more than 100,000 undead creatures? And it's not an isolated phenomenon, and there are similar information feedback from various countries.
Undead creatures have evolved intelligence, and there are often things like cannibalism, which is not a new thing, many people know about it, but more than half of it is lost in cannibalism...... This explanation is a bit far-fetched, and it is even more strange why the necromancer never intervenes.
Knowing one's own situation and that of the enemy. Win all battles, this is very simple common sense, the problem is that those necromancers are familiar with the situation of the Big 6, not to say that they know it well, but they are not too far behind, and there are even a few people who are willing to fall to the ground and are willing to act as spies for the necromancers. In turn, the internal structure of the necromancer. At most, the intelligence officers of various countries have found some scratches and cannot know much about them, because it is a point of no return. If you want to gain the trust of the necromancers, you must first become one of them, but how can you serve the original monarch if you have become an undead creature?
However, Fernando, who was eager to open up the situation, could not care about this. He had already decided to start the expedition tomorrow, and the vanguard army would go north along the trade route, followed by the Chinese army. Chris will go with the army as a prisoner. Fernando implored An Fei to lead some of the mercenaries with him, one of his goals was to rescue the trapped mercenaries and spread the grace and lay the foundation for the church's exhibition, but it was relatively difficult for him to deal with the mercenaries, so it was better for the mercenaries to communicate with their companions on their own. Anfei hesitated for a moment and agreed to Fernando's plea, it was their established policy to recruit more mercenaries to join the Grand Alliance, and even if Fernando didn't say it, he had to find a way to go together. However, Fernando's request first made An Fei feel a trace of contempt in his heart, knowing that the two sides were not on the same side, and still asking for help, which was tantamount to giving away the benefits. Maybe he was too young, so the other party despised him first, but no matter who despised him first, there will always be a day when An Fei will turn his face and see the truth, and the backing behind him is too huge enough to crush Fernando into powder.
Regarding the issue of staying behind and baggage, Fernando said that he would not interfere with Anfei, most of the baggage would be taken away, and the rest would be kept in Moramachi Town, as for where it was kept, Anfei was in charge, he did not put forward an opinion, and even took all the soldiers away to Moramachi Town, which was absolutely free. Alice did not wait for Amphi to express her voice, she took the lead in objecting, and demanded that Fernando leave at least 30,000 infantry and a priesthood in Moramachi, and that the dungeons of Moramachi could also be opened to them.
Fernando said that the Shield of Light Legion would sweep all the undead creatures along the way, and the town of Moramachi was very safe, and there was no need to leave so many soldiers behind, and they should be put on the battlefield, Alice insisted on her own and would not give in, and Fernando was silent for a moment, but agreed to Alice's request.
Watch Fernando say goodbye
In the conference room, Tagore jumped up first, moved for a moment, almost stiffened, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I think this Fernando is still very good." "Anfei and Alice and the others can talk to Fernando, and Ozgucci and the others can listen to a half-understanding, only Tagore and Khufu, whether it is strategic planning or personnel arrangements, they cannot understand the potential meaning.
"Why did Tagore say he was good?" Alsi laughed.
"Nice and polite, Mistress Alice slapped the table at him just now, and he was not angry. ”
"yes. Khufu replied in a muffled voice.
"You guys......" Orsi smiled and shook his head, "When you go to the forest to hunt the magic crystal land, do you deliberately shout to tell those demonic beasts that we are here to hunt them?"
"Of course not, you think I'm stupid?!" exclaimed Tagore.
"Are you stupid...... Everybody knows it, so I won't say much. Orsi laughed, "But I told you Fernando wouldn't either!"
"What do you mean, Orsi?" Tagore was really angry.
"Well, Tagore Orsi isn't targeting you, I'm also very fond of Fernando. Ozjuch continued, "But even if someone like him wants to plot in his heart, we won't show it in our faces, don't confuse him with stupid monsters." You can tell at a glance whether the monster is scared or trying to run away, or fighting with us, but if you stare at him from morning till night, it is impossible to guess what is going on in his heart. ”
Tagore scratched his head and did not speak.
"So, Tagore, can you guess what Lord Amphi and Lord Alice are thinking right now?" Orsi said.
"So how can I guess?"
"So, you better talk less, just listen to the orders of the two adults. "Orsi is actually for the good of Tagore, and he has already served Anfei, and now Fernando has led the Shield of Light to Moramachi Town, and he has turned his head and talked about the benefits of Fernando, which will inevitably bring Anfei a feeling of wallgrass. Orsi knew that Tagore was not such a person, but he could just say whatever he wanted, and although his head was bigger than the others, he had very few brains, and if he said this, it was someone else, and he would not have come out.
Unfortunately, Tagore couldn't understand Orsi's intentions, but glared at Orsi and sat down heavily.
"Ozgucci and Orsi are right, and when dealing with the people of the Church of Light, be vigilant. An Fei said lightly: "The wolf is not scary, we know how to deal with it, and the wolf in sheep's clothing is scary, it will bite your throat when you are ignorant." ”
"My lord, Fernando's affairs will be put aside for now, and he will have to rely on us to open up the situation in the near future, so he won't embarrass us for the time being. Alice whispered, "We have a total of six regiments now, which ones are you going to take with you?"
"If there are fewer people to bring, not only will we not be able to absorb others, but it will be easy to be absorbed by others, and if there are more people brought, it will be a little difficult to handle here......," An Fei frowned for a while before he said slowly: "I took Ozgucci, Orsi and Khufu with me, and everyone else stayed here." ”
"You're not bringing Himpella?" asked Alice, surprised.
"No, you're a little weak on your side. An Fei shook his head: "Having Himpella as your assistant will help you stabilize the situation." ”
"What about Master Ernest?"
"I'm not a child, I can't let Uncle Ernest run around with me all day long, right?" An Fei smiled: "What's more, Uncle Ernest has always been obsessed with swordsmanship, and he hates socializing, and today he was already very reluctant to pull him out to meet Fernando, I don't want to trouble him anymore." "An Fei knows very well that Ernest has been taking care of him and protecting him, just out of the care of his elders, but he can't always let Ernest follow him around, doing so first interferes with Ernest's freedom, and also affects Ernest's cultivation, and then he has become a villain who likes foxes and fake tigers, and in the long run, Ernest's feelings about him will change. Therefore, people should be self-reliant, and don't always rely on others, otherwise it will not only make people look down on them, but also be very detrimental to their own growth.
"That'...... Where's Lord Entos?"
"I'll ask him for his opinion in a moment. ”
"If you say so, let Khufu stay, and you can take Himpella with you. Alice said softly: "If you don't have strong people around you, it's nothing to accompany our own people, but if you have to deal with other mercenaries, it will be difficult for them to be willing to obey you, as for Moramachi Town, you don't have to worry about it here." ”
