Reinhardt was well aware that a fight between him and Sephiroth was inevitable.

Although Reinhardt had annihilated the first invasion of the Kingdom of Seayata with an army of 1,000 men, the commander of the enemy army was not so strong at that time.

What's more, the current Seyada army under the command of Sephiroth has more than two thousand people, and there is definitely no chance of winning in a head-on fight.

He even thought about withdrawing Klein Territory eastward, but when he learned that Cross had captured Blackwater, he regained hope. He was ready to use the defense of the Holy Helm City to drag down Sephiroth.

After all, Sephiroth's battle line was already stretched out, and as long as it dragged on for a while, Sephiroth's army would collapse on its own because of supply problems.

Moreover, he had already brought all the military rations from Wolf's Heart City and the Fortress of the North Wind to the Holy Helm City, and Sephiroth's supplies could only rely on long-term transportation.

At the same time, in order to contain Joey, Reinhardt has sent someone to inform William of Norman City, asking him to send a small number of troops to harass Joey.

The next thing Reinhardt had to do was to strengthen the city's defenses.

He concluded that Sephiroth's army would hold out for a month at most, and after a month, the army of the Kingdom of Seatta would be completely out of Klein's territory.

After the invaders of the Kingdom of Seatta were gone, Reinhardt patiently captured Klein City and killed the usurper Joey, who was the real Earl of Klein at that time!

......

Copper Mountain Town, late at night.

Serena hurried back to Copperhill, where she reported to Lancelot, the night's guard, and then magically moved directly to Cross's room.

She knelt down on one knee in front of Cross's bed, "Sir Cross, I'm Serena the witch, and I have something urgent to report to you. ”

Cross's sleep has always been very light, and he was immediately woken up by Serena who suddenly broke in, and of course, the wood fairy Link who slept on his heels was still sleeping soundly, and this elf was still invisible.

Cross sat up and rubbed his eyes, "Serena, you said there was something very urgent?"

"Yes, Lord Cross. Very urgent. I received a message from the Endless Reincarnation Organization, and Harriman, the current leader of the organization, wants Sunset City to take Copperhill within 3 days. ”

After hearing this, Cross instantly sobered up.

"Is this true?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, although I told you last time that I was a member of the Endless Reincarnation Organization, I did not tell you that I was the patriarch of this organization, that is, one of the founders of the organization.

I will know all the important actions within the organization. ”

"Whew......" Cross exhaled.

He suddenly felt that Serena's value was not simple, as a witch, she could not only provide a lot of combat power, but also make magic potions for herself.

What's more, she is also the patriarch of the Endless Reincarnation Organization, and can provide herself with a lot of upper-level information about this organization.

"Serena, you get up first, and be more detailed. ”

"Yes.

Your Excellency, you may not know that Sunset City is actually controlled by the Endless Reincarnation Organization, just like Ximu Town. ”

"I know this, Cressia and Britney are the lords behind Sunset City, and besides, they are both members of the Endless Reincarnation Organization, so you can just get to the point. "Cross doesn't want Serena to talk nonsense, he wants to listen to the point.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you knew this.

And it came to pass that when I returned to Creekwood yesterday, my servant informed me of the news, and my servant learned of it the night before.

In other words, Cresia had received an order to conquer Copper Mountain the night before. ”

"Impossible!" Cross immediately interrupted Serena, "If Cressia had received the order to attack Copperhill the night before, she wouldn't have stayed in Copperhill.

Serena, Cressia is now Copperhill!"

"What!?" Serena looked surprised.

"However, the town of Copperhill did encounter some situations the night before, six blacksmiths mutinied, they were going to burn down the granary, and besides, there was an assassin who wanted to assassinate me.

It's just that the mastermind behind this matter is the puppet lord Sander of Sunset City. ”

"Could it be that Cressia made Sander do this?"

Cross shook his head, "I know Cresia's character, and she doesn't bother to use this tactic.

Is your information wrong, Serena? ”

"Cresia does not disdain such despicable methods, but she is quite possessive of Sunset City. Harriman said that if the town of Copperhill was not captured within three days, the organization would arrange for someone else to take Cresia's place. ”

"What does it mean that the organization will replace people?"

"The lord behind Sunset City will become someone else, and Cressia will be imprisoned. ”

Cross smiled.

"Why is your lord smiling?"

"How can it be so easy to replace a lord who has been in office for so long, and none of Kresia's current subordinates are members of the Endless Reincarnation Organization, right?"

"Well, those soldiers weren't. ”

"Wouldn't that be good, if Cressia doesn't want to, what can the Order do?"

"Lord Cross, Harriman would say that, it must be because the replacements he sent have absolute superiority. ”

"Oh, is Cressia a dragon, stronger than a dragon?"

"Yes, Cressia is indeed a very powerful character in the organization, but there are still people in the organization who are more powerful than her, and I am one of them. ”

"Hahaha......"

Cross couldn't help but laugh, "If that's the case, then let's defend in advance." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Cressia is in Copperhill anyway, we can keep an eye on her.

And, if Sunset doesn't attack us tomorrow, then the Order will surely take action, and I can get Cressia and Britney out of the Order.

Of course, I'll do a full reconnaissance of Sunset City.

However, if Sunset City were to launch an attack on Copperhill tomorrow, I would be forced to fight.

As for Cressia, I'll leave it to your care. ”

Cross didn't know much about this battle with Sunset City, he didn't expect the conflict with Sunset City to come so quickly.

"Understood, Your Excellency. ”

Serena knew about Cross's ambitions, and she thought it was normal for Cross to do so.

"Is there anything else you have to say about this fight? ”

Serena thought for a moment, then asked, "Your Excellency, if your forces defeat the forces of Sunset City, will you take advantage of the situation?"

In Serena's opinion, the once-in-a-millennium legendary mage Cross would easily win this skirmish war with Sunset City, so she directly asked Cross what he would do if he won.
