Serena smiled and touched Aurora's head, then led the two friends to the Ferris wheel.
Laughter and laughter soon rang out as Serena wished.
It's just that she is completely unaware of the unease and hesitation mixed in it at the moment...
Chapter 5 Sounding the Horn of War
"it's time."
Tempus walked to the side of the sand table and stared at a series of small flags on it.
General Maximian also came over and pointed to the southwestern border of the kingdom with his finger.
"Yes, Your Majesty, our army is ready and ready to wash away the shame brought to us by the Secret Alliance at any time."
"The Mustang Legion, the Angry Bear Legion, and the Rock Legion have all arrived at the starting position, just waiting for your order."
"And the Inland River Fleet has also traveled upstream along the Silver Belt River and reached Trout Bay."
"According to the plan, our legion will spread out on both sides of the Silver Belt River, advancing from east to west. If all goes well, we will encircle the city of Lourenço in a month."
"Then, we will use Lorenzo City as a bait to block and annihilate all the secret alliance troops who dare to reinforce this city!"
Tempus nodded, and asked in a casual voice:
"Very good, I'm glad that you have made all the preparations. But are there still some things that are lacking?"
"what do you mean……"
The old general looked at his lord nervously.
He is very clear that this moody king often likes to say very serious things in a light tone.
"I haven't seen your cooperation plan with the church yet."
Sure enough, Tempus mentioned something that worried Maximian.
"It stands to reason that each legion should have enough priests as support, and the Inland River Fleet also needs a separate magical support force."
"I am clear about the attitude of Ercle III. He will not interfere in this regard. So, what is the plan?"
The old general broke out in a cold sweat.
After a while, he replied in a low voice:
"Due to the continuous digging of the fraudulent cases, many priests who have been connected with us have been punished or even deprived of their teaching positions. We still need some time to reorganize the docking in this area..."
"Don't tell me this!"
Tempus' tone became harsher.
"The mistakes of those maggots are not the reason for your mistakes. If it is difficult for ordinary priests to deploy, then I can tell Elcle III and let him send a saint to the battle!"
"I believe that with the qualifications of the saintesses we are concerned about, they will be able to complete the tactical support mission very well!"
Maximian nodded bitterly.
He didn't mind Tempus doing this. Anyway, he couldn't afford to offend the Pope, so it was more appropriate for the king to come forward.
"Also, there is the reserve team. We all know that this battle may escalate into an all-out war between the two countries at any time. Just three fully formed legions cannot support a battle of that scale."
"I want to see the reserve team, follow in the footsteps of the main army into the enemy's territory, and maintain combat effectiveness at any time!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have already arranged a reserve force."
The old general took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and replied carefully.
"On the northern front, I have already given the order to the Winter Legion to send a regiment to the west, and they should be on their way now."
"On the central line, Earl Grant has mobilized the local nobles, and their coalition forces will be our reliable backing."
"On the southern front, Andy's reorganized unit can already meet the combat requirements. I have ordered him to lead the team to the battlefield..."
"That's good."
Tempus nodded in satisfaction.
"In this case, we are equivalent to gathering four reorganized legions."
"Those families who are allied with the secret method should be completely unable to compete with us on the frontal battlefield, but we still have to be careful. The brains of mages should not be underestimated, and they may have other means..."
Speaking of other means, Tempus touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Humphrey, since we have reached an alliance with the barbarians, can we ask them to send troops to threaten the northern border of the Secret Alliance?"
"Of course, Your Majesty. But I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."
Humphrey replied in a calm voice.
"Ah, yes, let's forget it. Our finances have just returned to normal, so let's not make extra troubles at this time."
Thinking of the finance officials who had just been purged, Tempus sighed and gave up the idea.
Fighting corruption is certainly necessary, but after an internal cleansing, work efficiency will always be reduced due to fluctuations in people's hearts.
It's like after a person is injured, if he is treated with strong medicine, although most of them can heal faster, the impact on the body in a short period of time is inevitable.
At this time, if these officials in a state of panic are forced to make money, it is uncertain what will happen.
Anyway, the four legions add up to more than 2 fully armed soldiers, which is enough to deal with most situations.
"By the way, there is also the question of morale. Maximian, how is the morale of our boys?"
The old general hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.
"Honestly, it's not very expensive."
"For most of the soldiers, the southern border is simply a place of alienation. They don't feel like they are fighting against each other when the wild areas are attacked."
"Moreover, we haven't fought a large-scale battle for more than ten years. Although the newly trained soldiers are well-equipped and well-trained, there is still a question mark about whether they can adapt to the battlefield in time."
Tempus nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, after he succeeded to the throne, Marconia was already the hero of the mainland by virtue of his astonishing record of beheading the barbarian king in the north.
Especially after Roland finished reorganizing the new army, the army easily repelled a tentative attack from the Arcane Alliance. After that, no one would act rashly again.
On the contrary, on the side of the Secret Art Alliance, because of the constant internal conflicts, there is no shortage of opportunities to fight.
However, Tempus is not one to hesitate after all.
Now that he has decided to come to the big one, he will not give up halfway.
After thinking about it, there is nothing to say about combat experience for the time being, and we can only use actual combat to train recruits.
As for morale, it seems that it can be fully explained to the church.
This kind of thing can be regarded as the job of those priests and nuns, right?
"In terms of morale, I will negotiate with Elcle III and let them organize the labor force."
"As for the combat experience, it's all up to you, General."
Maximian saluted neatly and bowed to pay tribute:
"Will die, Your Majesty."
"Okay, Humphrey, next, please call the Minister of Exchequer, and let us discuss the follow-up guarantee work of military supplies."
"Also, let the chief judge be prepared. When the army crosses the border, there will inevitably be disputes with the local authorities. He must be aware of such things!"
In this way, Tempus commanded the heads of all aspects of the kingdom in high spirits, sounding the horn of war.
Chapter 6 Serena's New Mission
"Serina, here is a task for you."
After another tutoring session, Ingrid stopped Serena who was about to leave.
"This time it is still a request from the king. He hopes that we can organize a grand ceremony to pray for the soldiers who are going out."
"It stands to reason that this kind of thing shouldn't be handed over to you during your studies, but after I heard about it, I took the initiative to take the job. Do you know why?"
Serena thought about the key points of recent study, and soon showed a comprehensible smile.
"I know, teacher, you want me to experience the feeling that everyone is looking forward to."
Ingrid gave a relieved smile and nodded.
"That's right, I need you to adapt to that feeling. When you use a specific divine spell, switching to the corresponding mentality in time will help you cast a more powerful divine spell."
"For example, in the divine art of the Blade of Armies, you need to match the ideas of the soldiers as much as possible in order to give them the most suitable weapons."
After a brief explanation, Ingrid's face relaxed again.
"I think you should be able to easily complete this task this time. After all, this kind of thing is not fundamentally different from the festival you planned in Basho City."
"I believe that you should soon be able to understand the expectations of the soldiers and bring them courage and joy【#%
Serena nodded.
That's right, it's just such a small thing.
Back then, when her own demon army raised troops, the effect of the ceremony was very good.
Especially when the head of the enemy is inserted on the flagpole and held high, the effect is even more...
Serena thought of this, and suddenly woke up from the memories.
No way, the one who was picked on the flagpole was Ingrid in front of me.
'Hey, that's what it means anyway. '
Serena said to herself.
Demon warriors are hungry for blood and souls, so it was not wrong for her to decide to adopt that brutal method in the first place.
As for what the soldiers of Marconia thought, Serena knew something about it.
From the exchanges with those soldiers in the southern border, it can be seen that these soldiers yearn for glory and loot.
To put it bluntly, it is still fame and fortune.
As long as she grasps this point of action, in terms of the commonality of human beings, her mission will definitely reach a very good degree of completion.
Besides, during this period of time, she often met with Aurora and Margaret, and the atmosphere became more and more weird.
It seems that because of the schoolwork, Aurora's temper is getting more and more irritable, and she often won't even let her hold her little hands;
On Margaret's side, for some reason, she also talked less and less.Even if Serena found an opportunity to drag Margaret into disguise and played wildly in the capital all night, the eldest lady seemed to have something on her mind despite her joy.
Serena had nothing to say about this situation.
From her understanding, if she could be transformed into a succubus, then all she had to do was pull the two of them onto the bed, and the job would be over.
No one can have the energy to think about other things after a night of crazy fun with the succubus.
But after all, it is impossible for her to transform herself into a succubus now, so she can only be drawn by the emotions of these two, and gradually become irritable.
At this time, the task arranged by Ingrid made Serena suddenly find a way to escape, which immediately made her feel much more at ease.
"Okay, you can study hard by yourself in the next period of time. If you don't understand, you can write it down and ask me. I will prepare all the answers you need."
As Ingrid spoke, she handed Serena a silver box.
Serena understood that this was a magic tool similar to the one Phyllis used to quickly transmit the contents of the letter.
She solemnly put away the box, bid farewell to the teacher, and returned to the monastery of St. Salome.
After entering the monastery, she did not return to the tower belonging to the saint, but went directly to the small courtyard where her followers lived.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Meredith holding Naomi on her knees, scolding fiercely, and spanking her bottom hard.
The dragon lady whose power was restricted was red-eyed, but she was stubborn and refused to cry, and refused to give in. She let the vampire mother beat her with a board, but she was still full of dissatisfaction.
The catwoman next to her was wringing her fingers in embarrassment, as if she wanted to persuade Meredith, but she couldn't get a chance to intervene.
Serena couldn't help laughing, and asked casually:
"Yo, what's the matter? Naomi, the troublemaker, got into trouble again?"
In Serena's mind, that's probably the case.
