Chapter I: The Situation
Dick stared blankly at the fragment of the Immortal Sword in his hand, the black wings behind him flapping slightly, keeping his figure in the air. If what Transtheus just said to himself is true, it means that the god of war believed in the Miro Empire has fallen, and as long as he collects the other fragments, he can get the legacy of the god of war!
What kind of treasure could it be the entire heritage of a god worshipped by the world for thousands of years? Just thinking about it, Dick couldn't help but feel his throat dry and his heart pounding wildly.
"Boy, don't get carried away, you can't find the other fragments of the Immortal Sword, the broken sword in your hand is just a piece of scrap iron. The voice of Dimichra sounded in his head, like pouring cold water on the head of the hot-headed Dick, and he came to his senses in an instant.
Dick took a deep breath, and the cold, slightly salty sea breeze of late autumn calmed his thoughts: "You're right, I'm so forgetful, this plane is so vast, how difficult it must be to find the few pieces left in it! ”
Di Mihra said lightly: "It's good to know, instead of worrying about the treasures of the gods, it is better to accumulate your own liliang and strive to become a saint and a god one day!"
Dick casually threw the hilt of the "Immortal Sword" into the space bag. At this moment, the space around him fluctuated like a pebble falling into a lake, and then a burst of golden light shone, and Hawke's figure appeared in the golden light.
However, unlike Dick, as soon as the golden light dissipated, Hawke let out a miserable cry and fell straight to the surface of the sea. After all, he was just a dragon knight, not like the Holy Realm who could fly through the sky, and not like Dick, who had wings.
Dick's wings shook, and he cast a teleportation magic to instantly appear below Hawke's body landing, and with a moment of reach, he grabbed one of Hawke's arms and lifted it into the air.
"Thank you, sir. Hawke began.
"Hawke, what treasure did you choose?" asked Dick with interest.
Hawke raised his other hand, which held a long, glittering knife.
"Good eye!" said Dick.
"My lord, how shall we go back now? There are no boats, and no sailors. Hawke asked.
"I'm interested in how the rest of the people are going to get back to the mainland. But you don't have to worry about us. Don't forget, I'm a space-time mage. Dick said confidently.
Then he stretched out his other hand to the void, and the pure magic power slowly flowed out from the tips of the five fingers like mercury, and Dick's five fingers gently rhythmized, and the magic power swirled and tangled according to his mind, waving and winding, drawing a magic circle in the air.
It's hard to come back, but all you need to do is teleportation magic. In the void, the magic array drawn by him suddenly emitted a dazzling brilliance, this halo enveloped the figures of Dick and Hawke, and when the brilliance dissipated, Dick and the others had disappeared with it.
The magic circle drawn by Dick is connected to the teleportation circle in the Marquis of Otto's Palace. When Dick and Hawke walked out of the teleportation array in the Marquis's palace in the flickering light, Dick immediately noticed that in his room, there was a maid sitting on her back in a chair, her hands drooping, her head leaning on the high back of the chair and dozing.
"Wake up. Dick called. The maid opened a pair of hazy sleepy eyes and murmured, "Who?"
But when she saw the person standing in front of her, she immediately jumped up from her chair and blushed: "Ah?...... You...... My lord...... How could you?...... This one. ”
"Who told you to sleep in my room?" Dick asked.
The maid immediately replied, "It's Lord Sna!"
"Sna told you to sleep in my room?" Dick asked rhetorically.
"Oh, no, it was Lord Sna's orders, to keep watch in your room at all times, and said that as soon as you come back, you should inform him immediately, and there is something important to report to you! I am so tired, that's why I ......"
"What are you doing in a daze? I'm back, report to Master Sna!" Dick was so angry and funny.
The maid ran out as fast as she could.
Ten minutes later, Sna, Varne, Gold, Landas and other generals gathered in the living room of the Marquis's Palace, and Klender did not arrive because he was supervising the battle at the front. Dick took the first seat and said, "Before we get down to business, I would like to introduce you to a person, this is Miss Dimihera, who will serve as my military advisor in the future. He pointed to Dimihera, who was sitting beside him, dressed in black, elegant and graceful.
This is Dick discussing with Dimihera, and Dimihera sometimes needs to show up, rather than making up a lame excuse at that time, it is better to create an identity for her now.
The generals stood up and saluted Dimichra, who also stood up and returned the salute one by one.
Dick spoke, "It seems that I have missed a lot of big things during my absence." Can anyone explain that to me?"
Sna stood up and said loudly, " My lord, the situation is like this, not long after you left, the Miro Empire officially started a war with the Xiusi Empire, at the beginning of the war was indeed smooth, our army was like a bamboo, and the killed Xiusi people were defeated like water, but just as our army continued to advance, when they arrived at the capital city of Xiufaster, they encountered the Crusader Legion under the city led by the Templar Grecia belonging to the Holy See of Light, our army was accidentally defeated, the shadow sword saint Ucdes died, and the emperor Bixia was injured by a stray arrow on the battlefield, which has not healed yet. ”
"However, what's worse is that the Faun Empire deceived me and had no one in Miro, and actually took advantage of our Milo's vitality to raise troops to attack, and now it has broken through the battle line of the border guards and advanced straight to the city of Mirok! ”
Dick did not immediately accede to Sna's request, but glanced around at the generals present, and said, "Is there any more detailed information about the Faen, I want to know, how did the Faun enter the territory of Milo? How many men and how much food did they have? Who are the leading generals? Where have their troops advanced?" ”
Varne, the supreme commander of the intelligence system, immediately stood up and said, "My lord, we have collected all this information, and according to the latest information, the Faun people entered our country through the Theseus Empire. Because the Empire of Hus suffered no less than ours after this battle, they were powerless to resist the request of the Faenians to cross the border. ”
"The invasion army of the Faun people totaled more than 450,000 men, including about 300,000 infantry, about 100,000 cavalry, and about 50,000 archers. They had enough food and grass to support a six-month war, and this was when the country was no longer supplied with food and grass for the army. ”
"The leader of the Invading Army of the Faun Empire this time will be their First Legion, Shakel. ”
"According to the latest information, the Faun army has extended to the city of Kobai, and it is only five days away from the imperial capital of Mirrok. ”
With that, Varne didn't say a word more and immediately sat back in his seat.
Dick sat in his seat, his brows furrowed, and he was silent. The rest of the generals were also staring at each other, and after a while, Dick spoke: "Aren't the other major armies of the empire able to send troops to King Qin?"
It was Varne who spoke: "My lord doesn't know, the expeditionary force sent by our Miro Empire to attack the Xius Empire is drawn from the Miro Legion, the Border Legion, and the Southern Legion, the Border Legion has been defeated by the Faun Empire, and the Southern Legion is really out of troops now, and the Miro Legion still has more than 100,000 troops left, but these are not enough to compete with the enemy's 400,000 iron armor." ”
"And what about the Northern Legion, and the Reese fleet in the East?" Dick asked.
"The Northern Legion has the heavy responsibility of fighting the evil undead, you know, the undead are the most evil and powerful of all the alien races, and they are also the most difficult to deal with, as long as there are corpses, their army will continue to flow, and the fleet of Rees in the east is too far away, and I don't know that the activities of the Siren Clan have been extremely frequent these days, and they can't draw troops at all. Varnet said with a blank look.
Dick was ashamed for a while, the frequent activities of the Kraken Clan were definitely related to the one Sacred Sea Witch they destroyed on the way to the God's Ruins.
"So, only our Demon Hunting Legion can transfer troops?" Dick raised his eyebrows, "Is the Demon Clan's recent activity normal?"
"According to General Klund's report, the activities of the Demon Clan are still normal. ”
"And how is the Demon Hunter Legion formed?" Dick asked again.
Landas said: "More than 250,000 soldiers have been recruited, and at the same time, the Demon Hunting Guards have also been reorganized, and the special forces of the Dwarves and Elves have also recruited new adult members from the tribe to supplement some of them, and there is one thing that has not been reported to you, that is, another large dwarven tribe has joined our camp, and now the number of dwarven warriors is far greater than before." ”
"Well, the people will obey. Dick stood up, with the majesty of a superior to himself.
"The subordinates are here. The generals stood up together and answered aloud.
"Sna, give you a day, you are responsible for drawing 150,000 troops from the Demon Hunting Legion to the north of King Qin. ”
"Yes, do as you command!"
"Varne, you are in charge of collecting the food and grass needed by the army, and remaining in the territory after the army has been marched. ”
"Yes, do as you command!"
"Gold, you're in charge of leading the Demon Hunters, including Hawke, into battle. ”
"Yes, do as you command!"
"Landas, you're in charge of leading the special forces of the elves and dwarves. ”
"Yes, do as you command!"
After the generals left, Dick immediately contacted the Abyss Demon King Badajoth, thousands of miles away, through the master-servant contract in his soul: "I call you in my name, my faithful servant, Badajoth. ”
"I await your dispatch here, my honorable master. In the distance, a faint voice of response sounded. But it sounded clearly in Dick's head through the soul contract.
"I order you in my name not to let the demon clan launch a large-scale attack on the human race within half a year by all means. Dick said in his heart.
"Yes, do as you command!"
"And ......," Dick added to the order on a whim, "if possible, recruit as many of your demonic henchmen as possible." ”
"Yes, do as you command!"
