In mid-July, the hottest time of the year arrives.

The continuous high temperature and no rain, the scorching sun relentlessly scorched the earth, even though the Herseus River Valley was a mountainous area, the rolling heat wave still made people feel miserable.

Allegri first asked a few ice mages to discuss the possibility of developing air conditioners. After the current group of guys didn't have that ability at all, he had to think of another way to escape the summer.

Fortunately, Onisha took precautions and arranged it early, and after several months of construction, the water pavilion on the bank of the Xiyu River happened to be completed. The ingeniously designed pavilion, located on the west side of the Violet Old Tower, is divided into three floors. Since half of the building is above the river, there is a hint of coolness, constantly rising from under the feet. In addition, the surrounding greenery and the cool breeze passing through the hall are not much worse than the air-conditioned room.

"Visionary, too far-sighted......" Allegri sat by the window by the water, a few circle drawings spread out on the table. He pulled the rope and pulled up the fruit basket soaked in the water, the sweet melons and fruits were refreshing, and he was satisfied with "Hmm", and praised again and again, "Onesha, you are really the reincarnation of the female Zhuge ." ”

"Who?" asked the girl in the white shirt and blue dress, putting down the scroll in her hand and looking up. She and Fennie sat at the round table in the hall, gossiping with a smile.

"Well, a legendary mage of the arcane system, especially good at prophecy and divination," Allegri said casually, "but his attainment in wind spells is also the pinnacle. ”

The two girls nodded as if they didn't understand, and accepted this statement. But Afra, who was next to her, didn't eat this, she smiled "poof" and interjected, "Teacher." Teacher, how do I remember that when the Water Pavilion was started, you clearly said that this kind of thing is useless and costly?"

"Really, did I tell you?" Allegri looked dazed. Or, at least, it seems, that he had completely forgotten about it.

The little girl pouted, too lazy to deal with this cheeky fellow.

Allegri was just about to change the subject, when he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, he looked at it and couldn't help but smile, "It seems that the Southern Expeditionary Army is making good progress, and there is good news coming back." ”

That small group of knights. Heading towards the entrance of the "Path of the Lightseekers", they were all holding vermilion tooth flags, indicating that they had brought back the good news of victory at the front.

"Killing chickens with a knife is naturally invincible," Onessa shook her head and said indifferently, "but then." As the Southern Expeditionary Army penetrates deep into the heart of the Duchy of Ian, it will be difficult to make it as easy as it is now. ”

"Oh, the Holy See still has a class that can fight against the elite legions of the Empire?" Allegri wondered. He participated in the "Victory Day Celebration" military parade, but he was deeply impressed by the "Three Hussars" and the "Five Heroes".

"The Holy See headquarters has two ace troops, the Knights Templar and the heavily armed sword and shield infantry known as the 'Light Fortress'," Onisha seemed to know a lot about the Holy See, and introduced it at this time. "Today, the Knights Templar are trapped in Vanuna, who have been reorganized into the First Legion of the New Army of Light, an elite infantry battle force that is still on top of the 'Iron Barrier'. In addition to this, the Holy See is able to mobilize troops. They all belong to the countries of the 'Holy Alliance', and if they were placed in the past, the White Pagoda could even mobilize millions of heroes with a single edict...... But now, Buyada and Setstien are in disobedience, and the only things that Innedil can rely on are Ian and those small and weak states. ”

"So the Empire has a chance to win?" Allegri asked.

"Not necessarily," a strand of sideburns drooped, and Onisha replied, "If it is a battle on the plains, Snowton's hussars will naturally be invincible in the world, but the Holy See will not be stupid, attacking the enemy's strength with its own shortcomings, relying on high walls and fortified cities, dragging the southern expeditionary army into a tragic siege battle, which should be Innedir's purpose." ”

"Is this going to be a lose-lose situation?" Allegri knew that in the offensive and defensive battles of the city, the defenders would have a certain advantage, and the gap between the two sides in individual combat strength would also be greatly reduced.

"Generally speaking, the casualty rate of the offensive and defensive sides is about two to one," Onesha took a sip of tea and asked rhetorically, "Do you think the Holy See is happy to exchange two recruits who have been in the army for a few months for an elite soldier?"

"Hmm......" Allegri thought for a moment, then shook his head indifferently, "Forget it, this kind of problem, let's give the superior a headache." ”

"If you want, you can also become a superior person. Deep down, Onessa silently added. An ambitious Allegri is what she wants to see the most.

Moon Song Forest.

A oriole, coming from the east, skimmed over the treetops, flew over the branches, crossed the vast expanse of forests, and finally plunged into the slender and tall cyan tower.

The speaker of the "Clear Springs Council", the owner of the Green Tower, Overkill, stood on the top floor of the tower. It wasn't until the oriole bird flew in front of him that a slight smile appeared on his ancient face.

On the arched window lattice, a verdant vine hangs down, and the end curves wonderfully. The little bird probes its talons to rest on the green branches, flapping its wings in order to keep its body balanced.

Overkills whispered a few syllables, crisp and melodious, like a birdsong. Huang Li tilted his head to look at him, suddenly opened his mouth, and spit a pale green seed on his outstretched palm.

Overkill continued to sing, and the seed took root and sprouted rapidly, and in just a few breaths it grew into a plant more than three feet tall, fed by the natural magic he provided.

There were no flowers, no fruits, only seven or eight broad leaves, waving in the wind. After a while, the withering reversed, and the plant withered rapidly, and at the same time, the leaves began to turn white, and lines of clear handwriting gradually appeared on the leaves.

"The war has finally begun. This great magician in the elven kingdom, whose prestige is comparable to that of the queen, muttered to himself. He read the information carried on the blade, and soon had a clear understanding of the current situation in the Big 6.

"Snowton Empire, Principality of Ian, Holy See of Light, Empire of Buyada......" On the wooden wall behind him, a detailed map of the Great 6 hung on it, and Overkille turned around, his gaze swept from top to bottom.

"Could it be the Buyada Empire......" He stared at the southernmost country of the Big 6, as if he had grasped something, and as if he was puzzled.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits, but who is this fisherman? .
