"What are you going to do next?"

Coming out of Rod's office, Bogur asked worriedly. He saw Lyanna's madness, one step away from being corrupted by Chaos. But Rhodes valued her and wanted to protect her, which was a dangerous and difficult task.

"Lock her up first and let her calm down for a while. Either way, she can't be allowed to work anymore. Rod sighed deeply. "I'll arrange for someone else to take over her business, and announce that Lyanna is sick and needs to recuperate for a few days. ”

"It's okay, but I don't know if she'll get better?"

Bogur said.

"It's up to her, the person who is targeted by the Chaos Evil God, the outside world can't help him, he can only rely on his own will to suppress those voices and drive them out. This is the real incurable, and you can only rely on your own willpower to resist. If you're a witch hunter, you'll kill them with one shot, so you can't tell Diego about it, understand?"

Rod admonished again.

......

In Cologne, the capital of the knightly kingdom of Bretonnia, the sky is clear and cloudless in early spring, however, under this peaceful and quiet sky, there is a great danger hidden. The army of beastmen, led by the legendary general Mogul, is surging towards the Wood Elves' territory, the Etholoren Forest. The once-in-a-century invasion began.

Originally, this was a war between Mogul and the Wood Elves, but the lessons of history taught the people of Bretonnia that if the Wood Elves could not withstand the onslaught of the Beastmen Legion, then sooner or later Bretonnia would also face a baptism of war. Moreover, this is an incomparably powerful Beastman legion, arguably the most powerful Beastman legion in the Old World. Everywhere I went, it was scorched earth. Its march route is through the land of Bretonnia......

The Wood Elves had paid a heavy price for this, so hundreds of years later, the neighboring kingdoms of Bretonnia and the Wood Elves of Atholoren had reached a tacit understanding that they would unite against this vast army of beastmen once the beastman Mogul returned. This is good for both sides, and at the same time, this huge beast army will require the two countries to do their best to fight together to withstand it.

Representatives of the Wood Elves had arrived in Cologne two days earlier, and according to the agreement, the army of the Wood Elves had been assembled and was preparing to meet the enemy on the border.

"The Bhamo Plains, this is the best place for a decisive battle. Look at it, there are no forests, no lakes, and no mountains around this grassland. The only obstacle was a swamp behind the meadow, but it didn't matter, the plain was wide enough for our knights to charge in formation. Come on, right here, we'll crush Mogul's legions!"

In the King's Council Chamber, more than a hundred dukes, marquises of Bretonnia, and lords from all over the world gathered at this moment, and everyone spoke freely about the tactics of this great battle. Archduke Hymond of Bastogne pointed to the empty, unmarked strip of land on the map of battle. Everyone nodded, for a country like Bretonnia where knights are the main fighting force, how to maximize the power of cavalry charges is the most important thing on the battlefield.

However, not everyone was in favor of Hymond's tactics. One of the opponents was Adedhad, Duke of Leonis, who stood up and swept Shimond's hand away.

"The Mogul invasion, this is no ordinary beastman invasion, it is a great invasion that can destroy the civilized world. It is a storm, a disaster. The size of the legion will be greater than we imagined, and you may have forgotten the last Mogul invasion, but if you look through the history books, you will know that the Beastmen legion led by Mogul once leveled the lands of Bretonnia and invaded the forest of Atholoren. The Wood Elves resisted with all their might, and only then did they barely win the war. In the face of such a huge, ferocious and violent army, we still use conventional tactics to fight, which is too light for the enemy. ”

"The terrain of the plains is conducive to cavalry charges, and this is the most advantageous battlefield for us, but what better place to fight a decisive battle?"

Mond retorted loudly, the steel plate armor on his body reflected the light of the fire in the house, the breastplate was engraved with a burning dragon, the coat of arms of the Bastogne family, and the scar on his face was a testimony of his years of battle, a blood engraved on his face, and chivalry flowed in his blood. And Adehad is not an ordinary person, he has a lot of experience, and his early adventure career has allowed him to hear many stories, whether ordinary or legendary. For him, chivalry is important, but it also has to take into account the actual situation. No matter how brave the three hundred Kingdom Knights were, it was impossible to defeat the 10,000 Beastmen infantry. His tactical choice is in the river. 163TXT

"Yes. ”

As he spoke, Adeihad drew his sword and pointed at another place on the map where the Beastmen legion must pass—the Blackwater River.

"From the information we have obtained so far, the army of beastmen is marching on the border of Bretonnia, and at the speed of their march, they will reach the Blackwater River in half a month. The river was a great barricade for a savage army like the Beastmen. For us, it's a natural barrier. Don't forget, we also have reinforcements from the Wood Elves, whose bows and arrows can inflict lethal damage on the armies of the Beastmen who are crossing the river. ”

Under the gaze of the crowd, Adeihad said in an exuberant and loud tone.

The Wood Elf Emissary on the side nodded slightly, her delicate face hidden under her emerald green cloak, and a pair of turquoise eyes staring at the human leaders on the field. They are all high-spirited and point the way. However, in her opinion, it was a bit reckless and overconfident. In order to prepare for this war, Orion, the son of the forest, not only gathered all the wood elf army, but even mobilized the reserve army of the wood elves, that is, all adult elves are ready to participate in this war. And Bretonnia doesn't seem to be there yet. The short life span of human beings means that they cannot have too much experience and no real vision. Except for kings who are well versed in history.

"You mean we should abandon the Plains battlefield and instead launch a raid when the Beastmen cross the river?"

Duke Hubald asked coldly.

"Yes, a large number of beastmen are gathered by the river, and they cannot cross the river in a short time, as long as we attack them while crossing the river, so that they cannot land, we can kill these beasts as much as possible. ”

"And how do you guarantee that the Beastmen won't make it ashore?"

Duke Hubald continued to ask. He wore a delicate and slender knight's armor with a sharp sword engraved on it, just as the Adeihad family had a lion as their family crest and the Symond family had a fiery dragon as their family crest, and the knight's sword on the breastplate of Duke Hubald was his family's crest. Like Hubald's rule, it was cold and courageous.

"Our heavy cavalry will be waiting for them ashore, and if a beastman rushes ashore in a rain of arrows, our knights can launch a small charge to crush those who come ashore. ”

Adehad replied confidently. It was a tactic he had long thought of, but it had a flaw, that is, the Wood Elves' ranger forces had to work closely with Bretonnia's knights. Otherwise, under the rain of arrows, the knight is also in danger of falling off his horse. To complete this tactic, the cavalry must take advantage of the pause in the rain of arrows to launch a charge, clear the battlefield and quickly retreat, giving the Wood Elf archers room for the next round of fire.

However, not every Duke of Bretonnia believed in them as a "good neighbor".

"There's also the question of whether there are any other routes to march in Mogul, whether it is the Plains of Bhamo or the River Blackwater, it is our wishful thinking, and if the Beastmen do not march from this route, all our plans will be frustrated. ”

Duke Casfairn said.

"They won't go the other way. ”

As soon as the Grand Duke finished speaking, a light female voice came out of the crowd. The Wood Elf Prophetess Liv sat on the cold stone chair and said unhurriedly. Her gaze was as soft as water, and as a messenger sent by the Wood Elves, she represented the Wood Elves of the Solloren Forest. It is said that this beautiful female elf has an extraordinary ability - divination of the future.

Everyone looked at her with attention. Only Berto in the corner, chewing nuts in his mouth, looked disdainful.
