Cardwell had always advocated joining forces with the Church Alliance, but each time Ike had rejected outright, and for no reason.

"Is it all done?Cardwell, the Clan Alliance is being used by the Undead to contain our Western Front Border Guards, and why isn't the Church Alliance being used as a pawn to contain the Undead?"

Ike said unceremoniously.

As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Commander Tours, whose face was extremely ugly.

After a moment of silence, Icke changed his words and said to Head Tours, "Chief Tours, after more than a year of war against the undead, how many reinforcements has the Holy See sent to your church coalition?"

Ike asked some inexplicable questions, which made Captain Tours stunned.

Although he didn't understand what Ike's intentions were, Captain Tours still replied seriously: "Hardly, except for the few knights brought by our Church Knights for the first time, the rest are our self-recruited believers and mercenaries, as well as ...... and the funding of some of the Twilight Believers. ”

The head of Turce originally wanted to say that it was the Mora family, as well as several other consortium families in the kingdom that believed in the god of twilight, but in the end, he couldn't help but say nothing, and changed his words to the support of the believers of the god of twilight.

Now that the church has just undergone a high-level reshuffle, there are some things that should not be explained too clearly, although everyone here knows it.

"Okay, Captain Tours, what about the other armed forces of the Holy See, such as the most widely distributed and highly mobile Red Cross Light Knights, and the elite Holy Heavy Knights among the elites? ”

"General Ike, on the Kstana continent, there are undead in many places, they are all sent to deal with the undead who threaten the followers of the Twilight God, General Ike, I don't understand why you ask this, do you suspect that there is a problem within our Holy See?"

The head of the Tours regiment was somewhat agitated, one might even say angry.

But when he said it, he still regretted it.

Naturally, he could hear the implicit meaning of General Icke's words, but so what? Now that the Church Coalition forces were in a rout, they would soon lose the Western Front without the support of the Western Frontier Guards.

"Captain Tours, have you ever thought that the Pope has returned to the side of the Dusk God, so why does the Holy Heavily Armored Knights, which have thousands of people, stay stationed at the Holy See headquarters and not strangle the high-ranking undead that appear in various places?

"What do you mean, General Ike, please make your words clearer, otherwise I personally won't be able to explain to the Twilight God. ”

Commander Turce slammed his fist on the edge of the war sand table, and with a bang, it drew everyone's attention.

Just when everyone thought that General Icke was about to get angry, General Icke looked at Commander Tours with disdain on his face and said nothing.

It wasn't until Commander Tours' mood eased a little that General Icke patiently continued: "Commander Tours, don't be angry first, you must have guessed something about what I said, but you don't want to admit it. Do you think that the king and the cabinet do not know about me doing this, and why should they let me do nothing here?"

After Ike finished speaking, he stopped talking to Captain Tours, who was about to have a seizure.

He looked around at his generals for a week and continued: "Everyone must have heard of the dispute over the rights of the church, but it is an internal matter of the church, and as soldiers of the kingdom, we are not in charge of those things. ”

Speaking of this, Ike glanced at the head of Tours intentionally or unintentionally, then turned his head and continued to say to the generals: "We have never figured out what the purpose of the undead is, if we rashly join forces with the Church Alliance, then the Holy See will definitely withdraw the few Church Knights to the Holy See for various reasons, Chief Tours, I can tell you clearly, among the high-level members of the Holy See, there are eyeliners installed in the King's Cabinet." ”

"No...... No, the clergy of the Church, whose mission is to destroy evil, could not have done such a thing. ”

Commander Tours was already on the verge of anger, but he had vaguely guessed that he had not sent reinforcements from the Holy See, but he didn't want to admit it.

If the vanguard of the frontier of the Western Front were to join forces directly with the coalition forces of the Church, the Holy See would indeed have a reason to hand over the entire battlefield of the Western Front to the vanguard of the frontier of the Western Front.

At that time, the frontier vanguard of the Western Front will directly face the two-front attack of the Western tribal forces and the undead clan, without the containment of the Church Alliance, the Western Front battlefield will really be in danger, if the Western Front battlefield is lost, and the Northern Kingdom army is eyeing the Northern Kingdom, then the people of the Southern Kingdom will be completely caught in the fear of war.

However, as the head of the Knights, the senator of the Church, he still did not want to believe everything that Ike said, after all, the Holy See was his lifelong faith.

"Commander Tours, you can believe it or not, but now your situation is extremely critical, if the Holy See withdraws you now, then what will the public opinion think of you, the messengers of the twilight gods? ”

"General Ike, why are you saying this now, if you said this earlier, for the glory of the Dusk God to shine on the earth, we ......"

"Chief Tours, will you disobey the will of the Holy See?"

Ike interrupted Captain Tours very rudely.

His question made Commander Tours speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer, and the atmosphere was a little dull and awkward.

In the entire camp, no one spoke, and even the generals held their breath.

It's just that a few church members present have very bad faces.

However, General Ike's explanation, they also understood the meaning, and they all just blushed and lowered their heads without words.

After being silent for a long time, Ike's tone slowed down a little, and said to Captain Tours: "Commander Tours, you have no choice, in order for the people of the entire Southern Kingdom not to be violated by evil forces, you should face it bravely, a friend we all know said that the glory of the twilight god is sometimes obscured by dark clouds, but the twilight god will see it in his eyes, this is a test for you." ”

With that, Ike ignored the silent few church members.

He turned his head to look at Cardwell, who had just asked the question, and said: "The war is about financial resources and control of the overall war situation, if in the early stage of the war, we directly join forces with the Church Alliance to fight against the undead clan, then the western tribal forces will launch an all-out attack on our weak areas, but now the situation is different, our southern kingdom has strong financial resources and rich materials, even if it fights for a few more years, our kingdom can still afford the high cost of war, but what about the poor natives of the western tribes?" They can no longer support the enormous attrition of the war, and now is the best time for us to join forces with the Church Alliance. ”

Ike's words changed everyone's previous opinion of him.

Even the generals closest to him have always regarded Ike as a brave and unscrupulous general.

When the king personally canonized Ike as the vanguard general of the Western Front, many people were still very unconvinced.

You must know that it is simple to be a brave and warlike general, but not everyone can do it to be a general who can command an army of 10,000 people.

Now everyone finally understands that this young bald general is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

Just as the generals bowed their heads and whispered, Ike suddenly turned his head to look at Tours again and said: "Commander Tours, that friend of ours, has received secret funding from the King's Cabinet, I think it won't be long before a considerable number of elite mercenaries will join the battle, and General Patton, who is on the battlefield on the Northern Front, will also return to the battlefield on the Western Front and fight side by side with us again." ”

"This ...... After General Patton leaves, what will happen to the battlefield on the Northern Front?"

"Commander Tours, this is an internal matter of our kingdom, I think, we must prepare for the next battle, presumably the appearance of Grom Bloodfang this time also means that the Western tribal forces and the undead have colluded together. ”

“......”

This time the military meeting was held late, and it was not until dawn that the generals dispersed with exhaustion.

In the large general's tent, Ike was the only one left.

Ike sat a little tired in a large soft chair, with two glasses full of strong distilled spirits on the table in front of him, and looked at the empty soft chair opposite him in a daze, a little distracted.

It's been a habit he's been doing for more than a year, and he's always done it every time something big happens.

After a few moments, Ike picked up the cup in front of him, raised his glass into the air, and took a sip.

"Lance, you've been missing for two years, and I still haven't been able to avenge you, it's my brother, I can't stand you, come, I'll punish myself first." ”

Ike's eyes were filled with sadness, and he drank the wine from the glass in one gulp, poured another one for himself, and placed it on the table.

"I've been in the army for almost two years, and I finally know why Uncle Candita won't let you join the army, and only when I sit in this position do I understand that some things are really not like when we were training in the past, you can do whatever you want, and you can ...... completely according to your own temperament."

After saying that, Ike picked up the glass of wine that was placed opposite him and poured it on the ground, and continued, "Lance, have a drink with me. ”
