"What does the church want to do?" asked the Queen Mother very directly. There are only two people here, and it doesn't matter what they say.

"Frankly, I don't want to do anything — except to help Shem fight off the greenskins. There have been many misunderstandings between the royal family and the church in Shem, and now is the time to take concrete action to resolve these misunderstandings. Comer replied.

"It's really like the Holy Knight said...... Always so selfless. There was a hint of sarcasm in the Queen Mother's tone.

"Your Highness. Comer was not moved in the slightest. "We're really here to help Shem. ”

"I don't believe that there is such a thing as 'selflessness' in the world, unless it is a mother to her child. ”

"So what do you think I'm trying to do?"

"Perhaps you will let Shem's loyal soldiers shed their blood on the battlefield. ”

"If we do nothing, won't we have the same result? Why do we have to do more?" asked Comer rhetorically. "I brought almost all of Oren's troops with me, so much fanfare just for the sake of a natural consequence that would happen without doing anything?"

"And," Comer continued. "I don't do you any damage if I get the command. I can't order them to go against you...... For they were all soldiers of Shem. Nor can I hand over military authority to someone who is a threat to you, because you can give priority to officers at all levels. There's only one thing I want to do...... Defeat Greenskin!"

"Even if what you say is true, why do I have to say yes?

"Because Your Highness is a wise man. You know that you can't get rid of the greenskins on your own. Of course, if you are determined, then I will have no choice but to turn around and leave, and return to Oron with my army. But if people ask about it, I will answer them as it is, in the spirit of a holy knight, and what will their people think of you when they know about it?"

"Is this a threat?"

"No, it's just a fact. Comer stepped up the pressure further, and he clearly felt the Queen Mother's faltering.

This woman is more difficult than expected, but she is only a woman! More importantly, after a series of failures, this woman no longer has the confidence to solve this problem on her own. Smart people don't miss this opportunity!

"If that's not enough to reassure you, you can stay in the military. However, I implore you to refrain from giving an opinion on the military approach. Comer said this very unscrupulously. But he knew that the advantage was on his side, and the more unscrupulous he was, the more he could get the other party to make concessions.

According to Sham's custom, the surviving person was required to cover her face with a veil to show her mourning for her deceased husband, and the Queen Mother's veil concealed most of her expression, but there was already a look in her eyes that Comer wanted to see.

"May I ask you, do you have any battle plans?" finally asked the Queen Mother after a short period of silence.

"Not yet. Comer replied. "I came here in the rain, and my army is still in the rear. By the time our whole army is assembled and ready for battle, we will have an army of 70,000 or more. When the time comes, you can rely on superior forces and the greenskins to fight head-on. ”

The Queen Mother stared intently at the Holy Knight in front of her, but Comer's face was unusually determined. After the last, she sighed in a low voice as if admitting defeat and lowered her gaze. Como knew that he had won.

"Well, Your Excellency, I accept your opinion. The Queen Mother said in a tired tone. "I have temporarily appointed you with full authority to command the army, and I have promised you not to participate in military meetings for the time being. ”

"I will have your personally appointed clerk attend the meeting and have him convey to you exactly what has been said. Comer straightened his chest. The Queen Mother has made enough concessions, and that's enough.

"As for the current ......," he turned his gaze out the window, where the rain was thick. "We're just here waiting for the rainy season to pass. This year's autumn rain is really rare...... I reckon it will last at least another month. After a month, although the rain has stopped, the accumulation of water everywhere, the flooding of the river, etc., will inevitably continue, which will delay the time for both sides to be unable to move for another month...... Maybe at the end of autumn and the winter solstice, it will be the time for the decisive battle......"

He whispered to himself as he mentally contemplated the future. The same is true of Ashrufat, he believed.

Comer was completely right, in the Greenskinned camp, which was the defensive position of the humans before, the Bloodflag Boss was walking around restlessly. Seeing the boss like this, except for the few small bosses who were most trusted by the boss, all the other greenskins hid far away.

The Blood Banner Boss is indeed very unhappy. His several attempts, taking advantage of the gap between the heavy rains, failed. On two or three occasions, taking advantage of the fact that the weather had been clear for a long time, he ordered the whole team to set off. But by the time the chaotic greenskins gathered to leave, the sky was already cloudy again. The farthest he had gone was a league, and then he was forced to return in heavy rain.

In other words, now he can't do anything but stay in this camp.

But the Blood Banner Boss knew that time was not on his side. The area of impact of heavy rain is limited, and it is impossible for the entire world to rain at the same time. In other realms, news of the Greenskins' invasion must be spreading. He knew that humanity could still be united when it came to dealing with the greenskins. As long as the Shem go out to ask for help, as long as they are willing to pay the price, then they will definitely get reinforcements.

Of course, maybe there was no need for such trouble at all, as long as the Kingdom of Shem gathered the troops stationed in various places, it might be enough to stop him. At the very least, his plans to move south to Oron City would come to naught—if he were to attack Oron, he would not be able to let a powerful enemy army stare behind him.

The Blood Banner Boss knew very well that his current advantage was unstable, like a sand sculpture, which could collapse at any time. In particular, the city of Orn, a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack because of its innate conditions and acquired construction. As long as there are about thirty or forty thousand garrisons, even without foreign aid, it is enough for the Blood Banner Boss to stop under the city walls.

Then, reinforcements from other countries will come in a steady stream until the greenskins are exhausted.

This damn rain...... The Blood Banner Boss looked at the sky. His plans had been almost completely interrupted by the rain, if he had ever had. At this time, you don't need to think about it, you can know that the nearby area must be a rising river and flooding. If this kind of rainy day lasts for another ten days, even if the weather is clear, he will not be able to move. Because everywhere will be flooded, the green-skinned army can only wait patiently for the flood waters to recede.

"Master, it's up to three hours!" Carrie reminded quietly.

"I'm going to get out of the alley and go for a walk!" the Blood Banner Boss roared, silently walking into the rain. Of course, the green-skinned leaders didn't dare to touch the boss's moldy head at this time. Two days ago, a goblin who didn't know how to be big or small, just had one more nonsense, and was cut down by the boss on the spot.

Because of the heavy rain, he didn't have to go far. The Blood Banner Boss came to a stop in a clearing near the castle. The pouring rain poured down on him, drenching him all over.

"It's okay to be here today. The Blood Banner Boss told Carrie in his head.

"Master, there's a biological reaction!" warns Carrie. "The rain was so heavy that I couldn't confirm the amount and distance, so I could only make a preliminary judgment on the general direction. The other party is nearby!"

The Blood Banner Boss turned around in horror, the last time he was attacked by a group of people from the church was still fresh in his memory. Although he won a big victory last time, half of that victory was due to the cooperation of the Holy Knight himself. If the Holy Knights (especially the strongest knight named Rohr) had done their best to cooperate with each other from the beginning, it would be difficult to say whether they would have won or lost. Even if he had won, he would not have won so completely. Who can say for sure what will happen next? Especially a well-prepared sneak attack,

"On which side?" asked the Blood Banner Boss in his mind.

"Your left...... No...... The other person is moving, in front of you...... It's right again!"

The Blood Banner Boss held his breath, but at this time, the heavy rain that enveloped the entire world greatly affected his vision and hearing, making him unable to judge where the other party was. But based on Carrie's perception, it can be seen that Lu Dao is an extremely agile opponent, and this kind of movement is definitely not something that goblins or orcs can do.

"Who!" he shouted in human language. He wanted to let the other party know that he had discovered the other party's traces.

"Master, he's coming!" Carrie reminded.

The rain was falling, and the Blood Banner Boss was holding a long sword, staring on guard. A figure slowly walked in front of him.

It was a half-human, half-cat creature, about the size of a human teenager, and in human language, the creature was called "half-beast". At this moment, the hair of this strange creature was soaked with rain, and it clung to its body, but it glared angrily at the Blood Banner Boss, baring its teeth, looking like it might pounce at any moment.

"You...... How can you smell of him?!" asked the half-beast with a low, threatening growl in its throat.

"Huh, ......" The Blood Flag Boss loosened his guard posture as if he was deflated. "Mimilu, it's me. He said in the most ordinary tone.

"Master?" Mimilu remained alert, but the hostility in her expression had decreased.

"It's me. The Blood Banner Boss ordered Carrie in his mind. Then, the disguise on his body faded, and he returned to his original form.

"Master?!" Mimilu pounced on Ashrufat, rubbing her furry head against Ashrufat's chest. "Master, I've finally found you. There's so much greenskin here...... But your smell has always been here......"

Mimilu's face was full of rain or snot and tears, so it must have taken a lot of effort and risk to find this place. And on such a rainy day, it is difficult for even the nose of a half-beast to find the smell.

"Mimilu, why did you get here?" asked Asherufat when Mimilu stopped.

"Master, there are green skins everywhere here, and I'm worried to death. I'm afraid you'll ......"

"They're all my men. Ashrufat replied. "I'm the Greenskinned Boss now, or I'm pretending to be the Greenskinned Boss. Now all the greenskins listen to me. ”

Mimilu was stunned, and it took a long time to react. "But...... Greenskin is ...... Our enemy!"

"I'm sorry, Mimilu. But I had no other choice. I can only rely on the power of the greenskin now...... Are you going to hate me?"

Mimilu shook her head vigorously. "No, I believe the master!"

"How did you get here?" asked Ashrufat.
