Chapter Ninety-Six: Prelude to the Battle (3)
As the magic barrier was being lifted, Alice walked up to me and whispered to her that the silver coin and tin foil bag were in her custody.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to check the items that came with my old clothes when I changed my clothes just now. Alice is really a good wife and mother, and she can take care of such small things, and she will take the initiative to help her husband clean up. She must have not opened the tin foil bag out of politeness, and she didn't know what was inside, of course, even if she did, she would only think it was a lollipop with a special appearance. But it didn't really work for me or her, it was just safer than someone else got it. Having said that, Mrs. Aden should have been heartbroken for the loss of this treasure in the house, and when she was separated from the cunning lady, she did not expect that I would escape through the passageway.
Greatly recovered, Badelle put on a wide silver female mage robe on her own, and then along the edge of the armor of the back collar of the Seven Evil Armor, she put on a two-color cloak of black on the outside and red on the inside, adding to the heroic and majestic atmosphere.
The undead reverently stood under the silver chair, and I changed back into a black armor of the Seven Evils. Alice didn't want to be openly taken advantage of by me like last time, so she stood behind the chair with Badelle, but she was docile and well-behaved, and there was nothing wrong with it. Of course, even if something really is wrong, these undead will not take it to heart. Because the previous performances of holding the Soul Eater Sword in my hand, opening the seal gate, growing three pairs of silver wings on my back, and destroying the necromancer's arm without any action were enough to make them have no doubt about my identity.
"Tell the lord that the subordinates have collected the general strength of the two sides, but the time is in a hurry, and there may be some discrepancies with the reality. Seeing that I didn't speak for a while, Gayan took the initiative to report.
"Well, it's good to talk about what you've already learned. "I don't really want to hear about the comparison of the strength of the war between the two sides, but I have to ask, I always have to find out the situation.
"On the plain named after the Lord, the rebel legion and the royal counterinsurgency legion had formed a formation just after the early morning, and had fought their first charge just an hour earlier. After an explicit battle, each side invested 3,000 cavalry to hedge. The royal family had the absolute upper hand, annihilating the opposing cavalry, and finally returning to nearly 800 cavalry. ”
"As it should be. I had no doubt about it and casually responded.
It seems that this world is in an era when the two armies honestly pull up their positions and fight against each other in a proper manner, and there is no tactical evolution yet, which is really a bit primitive. But the form of the five-game death war may be due to the excessive prevalence of social honor in this world, such as the honor of knights. Erient's reputation as a talented commander may be due to the fact that he began to incorporate tactics into the matchup. And the big crab commanded the Holy Capital Crusaders, and easily defeated the supposedly undefeated underground dwarf clan under the internal response of the Servant Federation, which is probably also related to this. The old-fashioned assault battle meets the tactics of deception, and even the strong dwarven axe soldiers will suffer, but the big crab guy will really take advantage.
Gayan continued: "The rebel army as a whole is at a disadvantage, with equipment, supplies, and morale inferior to the regular Rosette Royal Army, and even there are many frictions and conflicts between foreign aid forces. But there was one thing that was peculiar, the genius commander Eriant Shjoe was out of the ordinary. It is rumored that since he arrived in the military city of Aden yesterday, he has stayed up all night searching for a stunning woman who had promised to sleep with him. After coming to the decisive battlefield of the legion this morning and starting to command, I was still a little sleepy. Even when the cavalry charged, Shi Qiao actually left the battle to rest! Although the generals of the royal and unified armies of the Rosette Kingdom would have doubts, they probably did not dare to say it, and there had not been any mistakes in the command of the royal army at present. ”
"This is the genius commander?" I snorted depressedly as I knew who the red face was. Alice and Bardell knew why, and hurriedly offered fruit from behind me to help me calm my mood.
"But this man is not to be underestimated, often directing his troops in incomprehensible operations, but almost always giving his troops the upper hand and winning. In addition, before the rebel army converged, three high-ranking leaders were assassinated, and as many as a dozen were injured or narrowly escaped the killing, which is estimated to be related to this. In particular, there were all kinds of strange illnesses in the rebel barracks and towns, and even some troop leaders behaved strangely, causing a certain degree of chaos and seriously affecting the morale of the already low morale. "Gayan has a lot of experience, and although he has a lot of words, he is to the point.
The royal kingdom of Rosette replied that they were glad to have arrived, and that they were waiting for him to bring Princess Connie to his capital. "Briefing on the necromancer who went to the royal family of Rosette.
"That's all?"
"That's all there is to it, the royal family of Rosette also sent four young girls as a gift, and they are outside to listen to the arrangement of the lord. ”
"Clever Rosette Royal. I chuckled softly: "Arrange with the previous women first, and then arrange later." ”
These Rosette royals must have thought that the undead would certainly not be interested in gastronomy, and that fighting with their unique class would not require much military resources and weapons. And considering that the Grim Reaper took the initiative to send his men to Rosette to discuss the princess, it is conceivable that the Lord of the Undead likes beautiful women. The princess has escaped from royal protection, and it is too impractical to forcefully refuse the favor of the undead to the precious princess, and it is not conducive to the safety of the princess, and will even increase the reinforcements of the rebel army. But he couldn't pull it off if he agreed directly, and he was afraid that he would be suspected of betraying the princess by the undead. Therefore, although the reply was not clear, the politeness was greatly revealed, that is, please ask Lord Death to protect the princess as much as possible, everything is easy to discuss, and the Rosette Kingdom and the Undead Clan are not enemies to fight to the death. At the same time, arrange for people to collect clues and rescue Princess Connie and Prince Conwede as much as possible.
Unlike the Holy Empire, Rosette would never have made such a semi-compromise reply if it had been the latter. This is due to the fact that the religious beliefs and ideologies of the two countries are very different, and although there are followers of the Holy Light in the country of Roset, it is presumably mainly based on the bravery of Danadus, the god of death, as can be guessed from the previous scenes of Conweid's memories and the prayers of the churches in the city of Aden. It is very interesting to hold a prayer ceremony in the church with the leader of the undead clan, who symbolizes death, as the protector. Further, it is possible that the real Grim Reaper of hundreds of years ago was a great performer in the country of Roset, which led to the spread of this strange religious belief among the citizens of this martial country. However, the Rosette royal family is also politically motivated, regardless of whether the undead symbolize evil and death, as long as they do not help the rebels who threaten their rule, they can be considered allies.
"Balgu came back from the rebel headquarters, Princess Connie was fine, but she was under house arrest, and the rebels did not deviate. A necromancer recounts the protection of the little dark elf princess Connie.
I glanced at Bardell, wondering if I should wade into this troubled water.
The killer's wife, Bardle, looked at me with beautiful eyes, and rubbed her hands slightly on the armor on my shoulders, obviously encouraging.
Okay, let's go to the battlefield, anyway, this armor can guarantee that it will not be worn by Erient. But stay away, safety first, and long-term insight second. In addition, there is another attraction on this battlefield, which is the rebellion of the city lord of Aden. It is estimated that at the critical moment of the decisive battle, it will strike a counterattack on the vital point of the Royal Counterinsurgency Corps, and perhaps it will sound the death knell for the Royal Rosette State. Haha, anyway, there is always one side on both sides that will lose, and I hope that when the genius commander of Eriant fails, the rebel army will help me breathe a bad breath.
"As previously arranged, with nine-tenths of the awakened strength of our clan, gather on the decisive plain!" I stood up, my eyes shooting like lightning at the undead below.
"Lord, my subordinates have deployed their forces on the plains of the decisive battle!" Seeing my action, the undead led by Gai An hurriedly cheered and knelt on the ground to report.
"The troops everywhere are not allowed to move without orders, and you wait to go to the rebel army headquarters with the deity. I shook off my armor robes and walked down the steps first, and the undead hurried out in response. [(m)Bulletless window viewing]
