This anti-plot operation was only attended by Cross and Lancelot, and only the two of them knew about it.

As one of the participants, Lancelot was shocked by this plan at the beginning, and in the process of implementing the plan step by step, he was once again impressed by Cross's foresight.

The reason why this operation went so smoothly was because Cross had already made full preparations.

And everything looks so natural.

For example, the construction of the Fortress and the city wall will inevitably make most of the people in Copperhill Town concentrated near the Fortress, so the number of people near the port will inevitably decrease.

Of course, the most important thing is that Cross saw through Cha Li's mind to escape.

And throughout the course of the strategy, Lancelot kept guessing when Cross came up with this plan.

He initially thought that Cross had gotten Saphiroth to capture the fortress of the Boreas.

But it was quickly ruled out, because by that time, Cross had deliberately let Charlie see the negligence of the port guard.

Lancelot's next guess is that it was when Cross surrendered Charlie, which is quite likely, because only after Charlie was surrendered could such a plan be carried out.

However, Lancelot thinks that it was too early for Cross to have this idea, after all, Lancelot's foresight had already experienced it during the battle of 'Blackwater One Night City'.

Lancelot warned himself that he must not only look at Cross as a genius, Cross is a genius, a genius that is rare to see in a thousand years, and such a genius will think more far-reaching.

In the end, Lancelot came to the final guess that Cross had already formulated this counter-plan when he knew that Lancelot was from Seatta on the way to Creek Town.

Because, as Lancelot, a Seatta native, is an indispensable and important part of this strategy.

However, Lancelot, who came to this conclusion, did not confirm with Cross whether his speculation was correct, but directly praised Cross's foresight.

"Lord Cross, I really didn't expect that you would have already formulated the prototype of this strategy at that time. I'm going to have a lot to learn in the future. ”

Cross smiled, "Of course, a qualified commander will start strategizing at that time, and you can do it later." ”

Cross mistakenly thinks that Lancelot is referring to the time when Charlie has just been captured.

And in his opinion, the use of prisoners is a qualified criterion for a commander.

It's just that Lancelot was so surprised by these words that the corners of his mouth twitched.

He lowered his head in inferiority and said in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency Cross, I may never be able to become a qualified commander, and even if I work hard for another hundred years, I will not be able to develop such a strategy a month ago......"

Lancelot's words made Cross a little confused: hah, did I think of the counter-plot more than a month ago? How could I not know......

It's the beginning of November, and a little over a month ago it was September, and at that time, you might still be killing the scavengers in Blackwater!

At that time, you can think of the anti-plot? This Lancelot is too good at association, he can almost catch up with Wendy!

However, since his subordinates said such things with admiration, they must not let him down.

"Ahem......" Cross pretended to clear his throat, "Lancelot, you're very talented, as long as you continue to learn from me, you'll reach that level one day." ”

"Yes!

......

On the other hand, Sephiroth, who had already captured the fortress of the Boreas, also welcomed the return of Sheen and Estie.

The two of them were sent to Blackwater to investigate the results of Cross and Charlie's operations.

"What was the result?" asked Sephiroth.

"Charlie's army was almost completely wiped out, and only a part of the soldiers escaped. Sheehan replied.

"And what about Charlie and his lieutenant?"

The deserters said that the two of them had been caught by Cross and that their fate was unknown. ”

A strange smile flashed across Sephiroth's face.

"Okay, got it. You're tired, too, so go down first. ”

"Yes! ”

Sheehan stepped back.

Esty didn't leave.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Yes, Lord Sephiroth. I think you need to get rid of Cross Klein as soon as possible. ”

"Well, I know. Do you have any suggestions?"

Esty was silent, he was just a small phantom shooter, how could he have the advice of marching and fighting.

"Since you don't have any suggestions, then you can step down. ”

"Yes......"

......

After Esty left, Sephiroth laughed out loud, laughing at Charlie for being too weak, and laughing at himself for making a fool like Charlie his opponent.

Of course, he is also glad that the real opponent has finally appeared, and this opponent has already ignited Sephiroth's fighting spirit.

He immediately ordered the whole army to march towards the Holy Helmet City, leaving only more than a hundred men and some wounded soldiers to stay in the fortress of the north wind.

Sephiroth has lost interest and patience with Reinhardt, and he wants to fight Cross Klein as soon as possible.

......

Holy Helmet City, inside the town hall.

Reinhardt was writing a letter, which was intended for the Emperor of the Khsmann Empire.

The letter reads.

'My Reinhardt's forces were invincible, capturing the Fortress of the North Wind and the Holy Helm in less than a month, and also raiding Blackwater.

However, the number of Seatta troops is too large, and my Reinhardt's troops are suffering heavy losses, and I hope to be supported by His Majesty the Emperor.

Otherwise, Klein Territory may be included in the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Seatta. ’

Reinhardt had also just gotten the news that Cross had captured Blackwater, and of course, he wouldn't give this credit to Cross.

He wrote this letter to the emperor for two purposes.

First, it is to invite merit.

In the entire letter he does not mention the capture of Wolfheart City and the precarious situation of the fortress of the north wind, he only writes about his own exploits.

Second, he hoped that the emperor could support him.

He didn't expect that the commander of the Seatta army would be so powerful this time.

After the letter was written, he arranged for a confidant and instructed him to hurry up to the city of Quesman, the imperial capital, and to make sure that His Majesty the Emperor saw the letter as soon as possible.

He then walked out of the town hall, where his army of more than 1,000 people was now just over 500.

Looking at these soldiers in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Those soldiers who died died at the hands of people in their own country. If Joey hadn't usurped, the Seatta wouldn't have been so successful.

Next, he was about to have his first encounter with Seajarda's army.
