Section 17 is intricate

"Even if the Greenskins don't invade our country, according to the Pact of War against the Greenskins signed by our Tiberius, Turan, and Shem, we should mobilize our troops and prepare to support other nations. Robin patiently explained. Isn't it clearly written in the letter? That is the result of the scout detachment's life! At this time, how can we put our hope on the illusory luck psychology of "the green skin will not invade"? Is this an idiot or a general?

But Robin doesn't really see Baylor as an idiot. Although he had been Belle's retinue for less than half a year, the man was a proud general in Tiberius, the supreme commander of the battle against the vampires of Callean, and fifteen years ago, before the arrival of reinforcements from Turan and Shem, the brilliant general who had single-handedly defeated the Greenskins.

"It's not that I don't want to do it, I really can't do it. His Majesty, the poor king, has already emptied his coffers, and has been watching me all day long, hoping to cut down the garrison with me in order to save money. If I send him a report now, saying that I will mobilize the army to prepare for war...... I guess he even had the heart to eat me. "Béral spread his hands innocently, and his pitiful appearance even made people wonder whether he was a general with a large army, or a poor bastard who was forced to come to the door by asking for debts.

"We're very poor now, we really don't have any money. In order to attack Kalean and destroy the vampires, we really paid for it. The church guys said that if they did so, they would be favored by the true God. But at the moment I don't see the favor of the true God, but I see a lot of bills brought by the true God. There's really nothing you can do about it now. ”

"But General, what are we going to do if the Greenskins come to the door?!!! are we watching those evil creatures burn and loot our land?, and watch our innocent lives go to ruin?!Isn't it the duty of the army to defend the country?" Robin almost wanted to roar at the irresponsible fellow.

"Defend the country...... I don't know what Lu Dao means, when he said this word, a complicated look suddenly appeared in Bayor's eyes. "But we shouldn't be that bad. Rest assured, rest assured, my lovely Robin, Greenskin won't hit us this time. ”

"Didn't the last time the Greenskins invaded our country?"

"Last time was last time, this time is this time. Béral picked up the last small piece of bread, wiped the juices off the plate with it, and stuffed it into his mouth. "You know, there is no pattern to the Greenskins' attacks. They will pick one of our three countries to attack at random...... This time, it wasn't us who were chosen. ”

"Ah...... But ...... "Robin wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it."

"Do you want to know how I made this judgment?" Béral asked rhetorically, swallowing the bread. Robin nodded immediately.

"Look at the time. Béral tapped his finger at the time on the letter. "It was yesterday. It was on this day that Carrey Sr. was raided by the Greenskins. It is enough to judge from this point. ”

"Enough?" Robin stared at the date and signature for a long time, but couldn't see what the mystery was.

"Old Carrey's departure time was more than twenty days ago. The fact that he had not sent me any letters for more than twenty days shows that he had been looking for conclusive evidence. It's a pity that he only found enough evidence yesterday. Bayor's voice was low. "But more than twenty days...... Where do you think he was attacked by the Greenskins?"

He gestured to the map hanging on the wall. "You can estimate where he will be. ”

"Probably...... Here's it. It could be here, or maybe it was here...... It's possible in this area anyway. Robin's face flushed slightly, as he realized that the range of his options was really large, too big, and his "estimate" was equivalent to no estimate.

"That's right. Bayral agreed. "More than twenty days of travel...... Old Kerry will reach this location if he goes north, this location if he goes east, and he will reach this location if he goes south...... Anyway, as long as he doesn't go around in circles, he'll be in these places. And if he turns in circles, then he must have made a major discovery, and he has already passed the book to me. ”

Robin has also begun to see that Ni Duan is coming. Wherever old Kerry arrived, it was far from Tiberius's defensive zone.

"If the Greenskins go east, they will attack Turan, and if they go south, they will attack Shem. It's not coming to us anyway. So in this war, let's just watch the drama and fight soy sauce. Hmph, that's what they did last time anyway. Beller's last sentence was so light that only he could hear it.

"But the army of the greenskins ...... It's possible to change direction halfway!" Robin stared at the map, his heart may have agreed with the general's judgment, but he had not yet conceded defeat.

"If the greenskins are going to turn around, they're not greenskins. The Greenskins have a fanatical desire for battle, but they are holding back their strength and just want to start fighting sooner, how can they turn around and spend another month fighting back against us? Even if they do, we can just send a team of scouts to guard the area. Looking at the direction, I reckon the Greenskins are aiming for Shem...... In short, this battle has nothing to do with us. If they really need our help, they should cut our debt down somewhat. Béral's tone of voice was casual, but there was a hint of sharpness in the corner of his eye.

"Anyway, Robin, let's fulfill our Alliance's obligations and inform them of the results of the reconnaissance. Ah, by the way, as for what I just said, it's just that I've eaten enough and haven't done anything to tease the boring and idle people, so I don't need to inform them. ”

Robin hurried away. Bayral leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling.

"Covenant, ......," he muttered to himself in a low voice. "Fifteen years have passed...... Another green-skinned war boss has appeared...... I didn't want to wait for this day! Countless of our Tiberius soldiers died on the battlefield...... What you did to me back then, I will repay you now!"

If anyone saw the general's face, he would see that the corners of his mouth were showing a cruel and satisfied smile, which was completely out of harmony with his peasant-like ordinary and simple face.

There was no need to communicate with pigeons, and there was a magician in the castle's garrison who quickly used magic to spread this important news. When the evening came, the royal cities of Turan, Tiberius, and Shem had already received this definite news.

In the green skins of the Iron Claw Mountains, a new war boss has been born. A large-scale greenskin invasion is imminent.

The news caused an immediate shock. Due to the unusual movement of the Greenskins in the Iron Claw Mountains some time ago, this emergency military situation was immediately recognized. Turan and Shem took action, and that evening there were many messengers in the post stations of the two countries, and troops were gathered in various places, and the defenses and garrisons of the Iron Claw Mountains were strengthened.

But this thing is not small, but it is not big. Because in the hundreds of years since the Greenskins occupied the Iron Claw Mountains, the strength of the Greenskins has never caused great harm to the surrounding three countries. On the one hand, the three neighboring greenskins have signed an alliance with each other to defend against the greenskins, so that they can draw strong manpower and material resources at any time, and on the other hand, the greenskins' combat power is really not high. The Greenskins are fierce, but they lack discipline, are poorly equipped, and tactically monotonous. There are even many people who believe that the three countries do not need to form an alliance for this at all, and that any one of the three countries is capable of defeating the Greenskin army on its own. For example, in the invasion fifteen years ago, Tiberius was able to defeat the Greenskins on his own before reinforcements from the other two countries arrived.

Two or three days later, the Greenskins' actions were further confirmed. There is no doubt that this time the Greenskins chose the south, and the huge legion was directed towards Shem.

It was already the fourth day when Oren City received the news. Archbishop Karl received a beautiful letter from the Queen Mother, the temporary regent of the Kingdom of Shem, after a public ceremony. The first half of the letter details the current threats to the Irontalon Mountains, and the second half humbly asks the archbishop to send the Holy Knights into battle. The letter specifically stated that it would be best to send a small team of particularly elite Holy Knights to snipe the Greenskin Boss and eliminate the threat at the lowest cost.

The archbishop immediately called in his vice-captain of the Holy Order, Sir Perran.

"His Majesty, Archbishop. ”

Perrin saluted the Archbishop according to the etiquette, and then the Archbishop handed the Queen's letter to Perrin, and when he had read it carefully, he asked, "Sir Perrin, what do you think I should do?"

"I think you should accept this request. This is an important opportunity for us to repair our relationship with the Shim royal family. ”

Indeed, the independence of the city of Oren has caused alarm in Shem. King Shem had planned to attack Oron, but he suddenly fell ill and died. The Church of the True God took the opportunity to publicize that the king's death was due to divine punishment. Although this practice temporarily frightened a group of nobles in the court and curbed Sham's ambitions for Oren, it also added a huge rift to the relationship between the two sides.

It should be said that the relationship between the two sides is unprecedentedly cold. The various exchanges between the city of Oren and the outside world have also been affected to a certain extent. This is very detrimental to Oren, who is a "country within a state".

This time, the Queen Mother personally wrote a letter asking the Holy Knights to help in the battle, which can be understood as an obvious signal of resolution. If we support this matter, we will have an opportunity to repair the relationship between the two sides.

Karl nodded, and Perrin was right in his words.

"I'm a little worried about Oren's own safety, though. Perrin changed his words. "If an elite force of the Holy Knights is sent, it will undoubtedly reduce the defense of Oren itself. ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... Oh Oron. Rest assured, it's going to be okay here. ”

Karl had predicted that there would be a war before, but after such a long time, let alone war, not even a conflict appeared. In fact, a whole year had passed without incident, and he had already forgotten about the matter of Ashrufat. There was no movement in the kingdom of Shem, no trace of black magic, so what was there for him to worry about? The memory of the whole thing had even become blurred, and in his impression, it was just a small, insignificant episode. He had a fortified city, an entire army, an entire church organization, and even Wendini. In this primitive and backward world, what could hurt him?

"How about leaving this to you?" Karl asked. "Perran, you can choose a squad from among the Holy Knights, and all of them can be knights with the power of the gods...... Then sneak into the mountains and snipe a green-skinned boss, which shouldn't be too difficult for you. ”

Moreover, this achievement will greatly increase the prestige and status of the Church, and it is best to serve as an example to the nations, especially Shem, that the Church is not incapable of dealing with them, but that it is just unwilling to do so.
