At this time, 5 kilometers outside the city of Clay, the arrow platform was built high, and the wooden fence surrounded the camp with three layers inside and three layers outside. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info around the camp, there are black flags printed with blood-colored handprints everywhere. This is the blood flag of the demon race, which has fluttered on the Veniante continent countless times. And under the flag, to this day, the screams of those who were enslaved still echo.

Outside the central camp, two necromantic knights in black armor guarded the gate. And a woman slowly walked to the gate of the camp. This woman was none other than the banshee Doloris.

She had a war report in her hand, and she did not dare to enter it because of repeated attempts around the camp. At this time, a deep voice came from the big tent: "Dolores, since you are here, come in." ”

When Doloris heard this, her body shuddered, so she opened the tent and walked in: "Lord Astana." ”

Death Lord Astana, who was sitting in the central seat, calmly reviewed the documents on the table, and asked without raising his head: "I've heard enough bad news in the past few days, and I don't care about one more." Why, the 34th siege also failed? I have already warned Tulum that his attack was futile. ”

Doloris was silent, she bit her purple lip lightly, and her pale but beautiful face was full of unease.

Astana, sensing Dolores' anomaly, stopped the quill made of human finger bones that was rapidly wandering in his hand, looked up and asked impatiently, "Anyway, the command of the army is not with me now." I made the plan at the beginning, but it was taken away by the orcs. Now, I'm going to see how they cope. No matter how bad the news is, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"But...... But this news has a lot to do with you. Doloris's voice grew quieter and quieter as she spoke.

"Huh? It has a lot to do with me. If this war had anything to do with me, our blood banner would have been planted in every inch of Idiris. Every single one of them is already a despicable slave and a dead corpse at my feet!" said Astana with rage: "Fatai, the god of calamity, has never believed in our necromantic legions. Rather, they believe in the brave and unscrupulous orc legions. I don't know why the Governors of the Demon Clan took the lead in summoning Fatai, the god of calamity. At least for now, this Fatai is really a disgrace to the evil god Metuk. Even the barrier set by the goddess of justice, Flobelga, could not be broken. ”

Doloris squeezed out an embarrassed smile and said, "Yes, this news has brought the god of Metauk to shame even more. ”

Death Lord Astana looked at Doloris with a meaningful smile and asked, "Shame?" ”

Doloris placed a roll of parchment on the table in Astana and said, "Our rear has been raided. ”

"What? how is that possible?" Astana hurriedly picked up the parchment and looked at it, and sure enough, it was true: "There are 5,000 people, and they have burned seventy percent of the supplies in Menise." How is that possible? Didn't I let them spread out their stockpiles?"

Doloris said, "Turum, the great chief of the Orcs, thought that the rear was safe, so he didn't put much effort into the dispersion of supplies. Moreover, he said that the cities of Ménice and Heyuan Town are all along the river, and the transportation is not convenient. If you follow your plan, it will be inconvenient to transport the supplies to other places such as Heathvoy and Rolley. So he hoarded 7 percent of the supplies in Menice. Now it's good, in 3 days, we'll have to retreat. ”

Astana sighed, threw down the battle report and said, "No, in three days, we will be wiped out!"

Doloris said suspiciously, "How is it possible? We still have 80,000 troops, and it should be too late to retreat at this time." ”

Death Lord Astana sneered and said, "It's too late, I'm afraid that now this surprise attack force is burning our last supply point, Heyuan Town." Now they cut off the rear. And then attack us from the back, won't we be attacked from the belly and back? When the human army counterattacks on all fronts, sooner or later we will run out of ammunition and food. Even if our necromantic legion can go without eating or drinking, how can the more than 70,000 orcs, kobolds, and Metu people who are mortals in the flesh take it?"

Doloris said with a solemn face at this time: "Actually, this is not the worst news. ”

"Huh?" Astana looked at Doloris, "What could be worse than that?"

Doloris took a deep breath and said, "I have inquired, according to the orc soldiers who have escaped, the leader of this cavalry is a young man with these red pupils. And he also has a white dragon. ”

"It's him!" said Death Lord Astana in surprise, "Now things are complicated. ”

Doloris said, "Yes, Fatai, the god of calamity, does not know our true plans. Suppose the orc army kills the red-eyed boy. Our plan is ...... if we are afraid."

Astana smiled and said, "I didn't expect this kid to be promoted quite quickly and be able to command a cavalry force of 5,000 people. And mysteriously capable of going around our backs, wreaking havoc, and burning our supplies. It's a lot like his father. ”

Doloris said, "I think he is very clever and looks like his mother." ”

"We buried it for 19 years for this plan," Astana said. In the same way, Nitya has been battling us for 19 years for this plan. The time is not yet ripe for us to be exposed. ”

Doloris said, "What then, is this raid about to fail?"

Astana smiled coldly and said: "Remember, achieving an end by military means is always the worst way. ”

Doloris shook her head suspiciously and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Astana said: "Let the orcs fail this time, so that the governor and generals of the demon clan can see clearly who is the real leader." What we need to consider now is not how to turn this battle around, but how to regain the initiative after the defeat of this battle. ”

Doloris nodded and said, "That's what you're talking about, so how do we do it?"

Astana said: "Humans are a race that rises little by little from the dirt. If you want to defeat them purely by war, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, they have a fatal weakness, and that is infighting. Think about how we collapsed the Normanland Empire?"

Doloris understood as soon as she heard this, and suddenly realized, "Are you saying that we will pretend to be weak first, and then let them start their own infighting?"

Astana smiled: "That's right, you think, a rising rookie who saved the country from danger." How could it not be an attack on the old powers? You are ready to go down, and after their victory, send men into the city to publicize the exploits of this Reims, and belittle the attacks of the Duke of Aceh and the other counts' generals. ”

Doloris said, "Doloris understands. ”

"Remember, though, that you still have to secretly protect Lance from having his head cut off by Aceh. ”

"Do as your lord commands. ”

Astana stood up at this point, picked up his robe and draped it over his body.

Doloris asked suspiciously, "Are you going to go far away?"

Astana said, "That's right, I'm going to a few human kingdoms west of Idiris, and it's time for a goodwill visit." ”

"Isn't that dangerous? You can't go!"

"Don't worry, I'm talking to them about what's at stake," Astana said. In this game, let the Principality of Idris in Aceh win first. But in my second game, I want them to know how small and ridiculous I am. ”
