There was silence in the central tent of the Roa base camp, and the third diplomat and third treasurer of the Order were waiting for an answer from their colleagues.

Generally speaking, the military officer of the Order is only a high-ranking position, and those who hold it may not all have outstanding military qualities, but Anthony is a recognized master tactician at the top of the Knights, otherwise it would not be possible to resist three dungeons for so long with only three supernumerary knight brigades and a small number of wizards, after all, these three big cities are not some kind of wilderness bandits, and they can be solved by sending a few people casually.

Anthony was able to hold out for so long without the main force of the Knights returning, which has shocked all the higher-ups.

However, no matter how powerful the strategy and tactics are, they can't make up for the gap in hard power, from the winter of 97 to the present, the Wizarding Society, which has been holding out for more than seven months, finally can't resist the pressure and asks for help from the Elemental Wind Holy See in the kingdom, and as a price, the Holy See has the right to preach in the western region of Giancogne, which is undoubtedly a hemorrhage for the Wizarding Society.

Anthony was silent, carefully organizing his words.

Seeing that he was slow to speak, Aryan couldn't help but feel extremely irritated, and said: "If this fight continues, I'm afraid that even Bogonia and Varnia will be invaded by the church, and I'm afraid that in a few years, the Holy See will casually appeal a few times, and the able-bodied young men in these regions will not hesitate to rush into the Guardian Regimental Reserve and the village churches, and fight for the great cause of the goddess Cana for the rest of their lives, and then the knights can only go to the mines to pick up garbage." You two, you don't look down on the Holy See's brainwashing ability, do you? ”

You must know that the foundation of a knight is a strong physical fitness, and the foundation of a wizard is a good quality education. The more affluent the area, the better the life of the inhabitants, the stronger the physical fitness, and the higher the basic cultural education, and it has always been an important area for the cultivation of new blood by wizards in Esgakone and the other two grain-producing areas.

Schhoek was also well aware of the seriousness of the matter, and said categorically: "We must not sit idly by and watch this happen." If you really can't beat it, let the third, fourth, and fifth teams enter the field, and then let Fort Edmund take a strategic-level magic weapon and directly annihilate the space gate. ”

"Schuek is right, when the time comes, just let the magic cannon be annihilated. Hmph, I don't know what the teachers think, they have to ask the church for help, and they have to pay such a big price! ”

Anthony looked at the two of them and began to complain about the mentor, and couldn't help but laugh contemptuously in his heart, secretly saying that the two of them were really human heads and pig brains, did they really think that the great wizards who were known for their extensive knowledge and spiritual power would really be as stupid as they thought?

(If nothing else, can the magic cannon be taken out of Fort Edmund's vault?) If you let the church know that wizards will have the ability to create this kind of terrifying weapon, I am afraid that the next day there will be an empire's god army, the god army is a transcendent army that truly has the blood of the gods, no matter how strong the Wind Knights are, they will only be a mantis arm in the face of such absolute power...... Heh, these people will never think? As long as the leader doesn't take that last step for a day, the Nightfeather Wizards' Guild will always remain a small wizard's guild in the backwoods. I can't figure out such a simple truth, how did these two idiots occupy a high position step by step! ）

"Ahem!" Seeing that the more they talked, the more outrageous it became, and the legion's secret blurted out without scruples, he couldn't help frowning, coughed, interrupted the two, and said, "Don't be impatient for a while, two of you." ”

Schuhawk and Aryan were silent and looked at each other.

"I'm sure you've seen the briefing summarized by the secretary's office, and even if the priest of the elemental wind and the Guardian Order help each other, it will be difficult to maintain a three-front battle for a long time. Fort Edmund has already given me a penetration, those three are just pseudo-wizard towers, which are the products of a rough combination of elemental hearts and initial magic cannons, each of which has a lot of problems, once the decisive battle is really started, it is difficult to resist the three pseudo-wizard towers alone The dungeon has a large number of strong people. ”

Shuhek pondered for a moment: "You mean you want to give up one or even two lines and concentrate on destroying a space gate?" Allowing other city-states to gain a foothold on the ground? ”

Aryan didn't want to be the first to object: "How can this work?" Sagacony is one of the most important food producing areas for the Wizarding Society, and as Schuherke said, if other forces are allowed to invade, do the Knights really plan to pick up trash in the mines in the future? ”

Not to mention the sparse population in the mining area, there are even fewer teenagers who have passed the physical fitness test, and it is by no means a good source of soldiers.

Anthony was also irritable, he knew that the mentors had given up part of the sovereignty of Skagne in order to show weakness, otherwise they would only need to transfer the First Brigade back to solve the problem, rather than let the Elemental Wind Holy See intervene.

But a few days earlier, when he and two other officers had returned to Fort Edmund for a meeting, he had been instructed by the Grand Master not to draw knights from other brigades into the war zone from April, so that they should end the war as soon as possible, in order to avoid suspicion from the Church.

"Ahem. If it doesn't work, it's okay, the other day the Grand Master has already ordered that no more troops will be sent to the war zone except for the samurai, and that we will end the war at all costs. Anthony coughed, expressionless.

Of course, Schuheck and Aryan knew this, which is why there was a secret meeting tonight, but could the wizards really be able to afford the price of "whatever it takes"?

"Doesn't it matter if you let the Vault Dwellers settle in Sagacony?" Schuek frowned.

Anthony nodded: "Of course, the mentors and regimental commanders only ask us to end the war. After a pause, he added, "But as a member of the Order, you must strive for enough glory and merit." In an all-round peace, not only is the Knights ugly, but even the church can't make a difference, and the best way is to attack from afar and attack closely, bullying the weak. ”

Shu Heke nodded thoughtfully: "You mean to secretly reconcile one of the city-states and unite them to kill the other two?" Night City is the most suitable ally, these witches almost turned the entire Tenth Brigade against them, if it weren't for the wizards who ventured into the battlefield to follow the banner team, I'm afraid that the line of defense would have been broken long ago. ”

"Night City is powerful, but their loyalty is not high, plus these witches are very good at seduction, and they are allies, I am afraid that I will suddenly become someone else's slave." Aryan shook his head, "If I really have to choose, I would still prefer the people of Castlevania, those abyss wizards are disgusting, but only the upper echelons of the hermit can access flesh magic, and ordinary members and knights are at least normal." Besides, Castlevania is sandwiched between the other two city-states, and it is very fast to send troops on either side. ”

Shu Heke no longer insisted when he heard this, through Elton's mouth, he had already experienced the power of the Witch Cult, and these witches were indeed extremely dangerous. He looked at Anthony and his eyes were full of inquiry, "Then choose Castlevania?" Whenever there is an opportunity to gain a foothold on the ground, these Vault Dwellers will never let it go. ”

saw Anthony smile faintly, and asked rhetorically, "Why didn't anyone choose Mountain Flame City?" Is it because the ruler of this city-state is not human? ”

Schuek nodded: "Of course." But the main reason is that their strength is too weak, according to the battle reports of the past few months, if it weren't for the opening of the door of space, these little dwarfs would not even be willing to send troops to fight us, and they usually know that the tinkling casting in the steel castle is really a natural blacksmith...... These slow-brained guys, let's stay behind and deal with them slowly. ”

Aryan smiled: "Or how did that steel castle appear, tsk, it's only been more than seven months, there is no magic, it's all steel construction technology......"

The three of them had a toothache at the thought of this group of dwarves' fanatical mining and building hobbies, and this group of dwarves seemed to have no other desires except for iron and mining, worthy of the race that once established the Golden Empire before the reincarnation calendar.

Anthony said, "This is because they don't have much blood debt with us, and the dwarves are more peaceful, so we want to unite them." And don't you forget, what is the most popular in Anjou? ”

"Dragonblood Stone Vein!" A flash of lightning flashed in their minds, and they said in unison.

Anthony smiled and nodded: "The energy vein is definitely more attractive than gold, with the dragon's blood vein as a bargaining chip, I don't believe this group of dwarfs are not tempted." ”

Shu Heke was moved by this, and nodded: "It seems to be a good idea to listen to you say this, the dwarves have always been xenophobic, even if this space gate is left, it is unlikely that the exiles of other city-states will take advantage of the road to come to the surface and do nonsense." In addition, the Dwarves have a high degree of forging skills, and their neighbors have the opportunity to trade sophisticated enchanted weapons. He looked at his colleague appreciatively and smiled, "Anthony, you really have a unique vision." ”

"You're overrated." Anthony smiled, and then saw Aryan, "If you choose Mountain Flame City, the matter of the Dragonblood Vein will depend on you and the Mentor and the Legion Commanders to negotiate, I estimate that at least one medium-sized vein will be needed to impress them, and if you want them to fully cooperate and send troops with all their might, at least two medium-sized veins will be required." ”

Aryan grinned, and said with a painful face: "Two medium-sized ore veins, you are too loser, we only have a total of how many ore veins!" He could already imagine being angrily reprimanded by the Wizarding Guild higher-ups when he returned.

Anthony shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Didn't the Grand Master order at all costs......"

After a moment of silence, Aryan gave him a thumbs up, gritted his teeth, and said, "Count you ruthless!" ”

Anthony smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just the first step." It is quite difficult to take out two dungeons at the same time, even if it is just two barracks. In the case that we can't use our hole cards, we can only choose to outwit and follow the trend. ”

The eyes of the two lit up, and they quickly sat up straight and said in unison: "How to outwit?" ”

Anthony smiled slightly, and said lightly: "It depends on the skills of the two of them......
