"He is a magician? But he is a general! A magician is a general?" Sagas was very surprised by this matter. "Has the concept of southerners changed a lot? I haven't heard of it."

"He's a magician and a fighter."

"It just makes him vulgar in both ways..."

"He was an exception, I assure you, Sagas, you underestimated him. But this is not important anymore, as I said just now, he killed Luo Jin with his own hands...or he forced Luo Jin Kim committed suicide."

"Oh, you mean..."

"At first I thought he could only live for a day or two. But it seems that Luo Jin's curse at the cost of his own life... seems not the kind I expected." Ma said. "If this self-destruct method is used, there are only a limited number of two or three types of magic curses that can be spread..."

"All of them are short-term effective." Sagas nodded, agreeing with Ma's opinion. "And all of them can be tortured to death in the most tragic way... But... anyway, that Luo Jin is a recognized genius. If it was him, then maybe... things are different."

"That's right, but I think it's only [-]-[-]," Ma replied. "Maybe tomorrow our General Ashurfat will rot all over his body, screaming and dying slowly. In short, if he is chosen as the target, the risk is too great. So it is more suitable to change... Isn't that Parry better? Is it? How can you say that you were old acquaintances. "

Sagas smiled, but didn't answer.

"However, he does not recognize you now. The great Slaanesh has changed your form for you," said the horse.Judging from his words and demeanor, this is obviously flattering.

"Did you...fail?" After a few seconds, Sagas seemed to think through something, "I guess, you tried to kill Luo Jin, but failed to get his research materials, didn't you ?”

"As I said, Rokin's death has nothing to do with me. Yes, I suggested that he go alone to deal with the southern army, but this is just a suggestion, isn't it? It is he who really makes the decision..."

"In short, the followers of Tzeentch and the followers of Nurgle just can't get together. If you kill Luo Jin, your evaluation in Tzeentch's Eye should improve a lot." Sagas seemed to have not heard Ma's explanation at all. , but continued in a cold tone. "Speaking of which, it's true. Then, in order to make up for the lack of strength caused by Luo Jin's death, he persuaded me to come and disrupt the main force of the southerners... Hehehehe..."

The girl with a stunning appearance covered her hands and smiled. If it weren't for the virtual image emitting green light in front of her, who would believe that such a girl is actually a dangerous Chaos Lord?

"If I lose," Sagas asked. "Then what are you going to do?"

"How could you fail, Sagas?" Ma's tone was not so much flattering as flattering. "To be honest, I am more inclined to those traditional strategies than to invent a new magic."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Although some people keep shouting about 'bringing out the old and bringing forth the new' and 'creative thinking', I think that what can be passed down from generation to generation is really effective. Because it has been proven to be effective after numerous verifications , Only in this way can it be passed down. For example - beauty trap... It is so simple, obvious, and without difficulty, but it always works, doesn't it?"

"Hehe, didn't someone say before that I made a big mistake and was rejected by the King of Huanyu?"

"Those are just the opinions of fools, how could it be possible." Ma said. "Not to mention, being able to put on such a perfect body... The King of Huanyu's love for you is the same as before. However, Sagas, no matter what, this time the task must not be slack, in case those southerners It's a heart-pounding adventure with a fever of the human brain..." he said. "It will pose a great threat to our army. Once things get out of hand, no matter whether it is you, me or Lord Bloodfang, I am afraid there will be no good results."

"Hmph!" Sagas snorted contemptuously, but the arrogance on his face was gone.

……

"The enemy blocked the battlefield." Ashuruffat said.

At this point the meeting was over, everyone else had left, only the two of them stayed.But this came as no surprise.Because Baelor had a proven track record of defeating the legions of Chaos, it was wise for Ashuruffat to seek his advice.

"I'm afraid so," Bellel replied.As the lieutenant general, Baylor was in charge of frontline reconnaissance. "The marauder cavalry is superior to our light cavalry in horsemanship and hand-to-hand combat. Our reconnaissance troops have suffered heavy losses... It is difficult to find out the enemy's movements, but our army's movements cannot be hidden from the enemy's eyes." Beler Sighed. "That's why I don't agree to attack the enemy's troops left under Gaohua City, because we don't know the specific course of action and current situation of the enemy's detachment troops that have been sent out to loot around."

"Is there nothing that can be done about this?" Ashuruffat asked. "In this way, the enemy has taken the initiative, while our army is passive everywhere...it's really bad."

"Unfortunately," Baylor replied thoughtfully. “It’s really unthinkable in that regard,” he said. "Especially these marauders are not afraid of death. Even if they set some small traps and wiped out a few groups of marauder cavalry, it can't dampen their morale and even make them even more crazy."

"It's the same as confronting others with your eyes covered." Ashuruffat sighed, "Hands and feet are bound everywhere."

Although the army is still staying in Newstria City, waiting for the opportunity to attack.But in fact, the scouting battle between the two sides had already begun.Since Belle took over the task of scouting and reconnaissance, the fighting situation has further intensified.The obvious fact is that in this kind of battle, the price paid by the coalition forces far exceeds the gain.Even a veteran like Baylor had to order to reduce the activities of scouts to avoid unnecessary losses.

"It's very different from a civil war between the Seven Kingdoms," Belleer said. "On the one hand, it is the cruelty and tyranny of the Chaos Legion. On the other hand, due to the tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, there are almost no residents in the field. The intelligence of the enemy's actions can only be obtained by scouting... More than half of the experienced scouting troops have suffered casualties. Beller paused. "If the scout troops are composed of new recruits, the loss will probably be even greater. We can't continue to throw these troops into the meat grinder. To be honest, I think it may be because of this that the Chaos Legion dares Our reinforcements are gathered, and we can divide our troops to attack when it is possible to attack at any time."

"Didn't you say... the commander of the Chaos Legion is a believer in Khorne?"

"So I said, 'maybe,'" Baylor replied. "In short, under the current situation, the only option is to fight steadily, and a tactical surprise attack is not advisable."

"The chaos caused by the Chaos Wizard has basically ended." Ashuruffat changed the subject. "We can't continue to stay here with nothing to do."

Belle smiled. "We can start with the whole army and approach Gaohua City step by step to clear the siege. Then when we arrive at Gaohua City, I believe that the Chaos Legion has gathered all its troops and is waiting below the city for a decisive battle with us..." His voice was abrupt He stopped, looked at Ashuruffat with that smile, and then looked back at Robin behind him.

In particular, it should be noted that, as Baylor's adjutant, Robin can stand in this venue without causing people to stare blankly.Of course, he has no say.

"No..." Ashuruffat shook his head, his eyes stayed on the map next to him, and fell into deep thought.

Belle got up quietly and left through the door of the conference room.When he was leaving, Robin looked back deliberately: Ashuruffat was still looking at the map, thinking, and didn't notice Belle's departure at all.

"My lord, what were you talking about just now?"

"A strategy." Baylor replied with a smile. "You may not understand what it means."

"What do you mean? Approach Gaohua City step by step, and come to a decisive battle... Isn't this a very orthodox tactic?"

"So you don't understand," Belleer said. "Robin, you need to use your brain more. Do you know what Ash Rufat is thinking about?"

"This... is he considering the timing of the attack?" Robin's mind turned quickly. "Too early or too late is not good. If it is too early, the power of Chaos will be too strong. If it is too late, then Chaos may not go out to fight, but retreat to White Castle... Does this mean that they can make a comeback at any time?"

"No, no, no, Robin, you... hey..." Belleil sighed. "I think you should be inexperienced. Maybe I should let you, as the commander of a detachment, be in charge of peripheral mobile operations. In this case, you will probably soon learn some things that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words." Baylor Said. "Ashrufat is thinking about the use of time.

"Use of time?"

"The current situation is that there is no need to worry about the safety of Gaohua City for the time being. The Chaos Legion's division of troops to invade the surrounding small castles is definitely not worth the loss. From a general's point of view, the Chaos Legion is equivalent to exchanging its precious elite mobile forces for us. A worthless local second-rate unit. We should be happy with this option..."

...however, it would cause many innocent civilian casualties.Robin actually had this idea in mind.But he also understands that in the eyes of a general, there should only be victory and defeat, and there should be no extra mercy and kindness.Defeating the enemy is the greatest mercy and kindness.

"However, all these small castles or villages are quite strong, and the Chaos Legion will have a period of time...a precious period of time before they have suffered enough to realize that there is no point in doing so!" Baylor said. "Robin, like you, will wait there and waste this precious time. But I will try to use this time to create a more favorable situation." He said with a smile. "The same goes for Ashurfat."
