The target is a goddess!Sacred Path of the Scrap Succubus

"But in the final analysis, it's just three mixed teams. In the overall situation, it's not worth mentioning."

"What's the point of this, Leonard. It's just to add a joke to you, the campaign commander, after dinner?"

Leonard shook his head and explained.

"Of course it's a joke, although it's not funny—after all we're the buffoons in the joke."

"You see, the mage who investigated actually sent a lot of valuable information. Obviously, he also felt that this kind of failure was not unusual at all."

Leonard continued to explain while handing another piece of paper to Camille.

"The enemy's army is obviously not large in number, and its combat effectiveness is not astonishing—otherwise, our mages would not be able to investigate the battlefield so carefully."

"But every time the enemy commander uses troops, it is so just right, as if..."

"Well, it's like Camille, when you played the ukulele, although you played your fingers quickly and freely, but every time you landed just right."

Camille smiled:

"Thank you for your compliment, but I won't play it for you a few more times because of this. So, do you think the enemy army has a good commander? Unfortunately, this can't change their fate of defeat."

Leonard sighed.

Indeed, as Camille said, this does not change anything.

In other words, individual efforts cannot shake the general trend after all.

From the perspective of the general trend, the Secret Art Alliance is weaker than Marconia, which is an all-round backwardness, and it is not possible to turn defeat into victory by relying on technology or other things;

Even in this battle, he joined forces with his mages to launch a sudden attack, seized the command of the battle, and forcefully carried out the will of his small team, but in the end he only achieved mere visible results.

His operation is flawless, but the Tempus King on the opposite side is also worthy of being a well-matched opponent.

Even though Tampas underestimated the enemy and dropped his troops due to poor information, Leonard failed to seize the opportunity to wipe out any of the Marconian reorganized legions.

After a dazzled operation, he just bit the piece of meat that Tempus had cut off.

And this piece of meat may even be something Tempus didn't want for a long time.

"Camille, thank you for successfully destroying my rare hope."

After Leonard said something with a pun in German, he lay down on the comfortable sofa.

"That's right, even if that commander can gain insight into people's hearts and accurately grasp our psychological blind spots, he can only win tactically in the end."

"It is impossible for his troops to exceed the level of a hundred people, and it is impossible to integrate the scattered soldiers in the mountains. It is even more impossible to open the passage back to the east."

"Yes, under the general trend, such an amazing conductor can only go to the final defeat - just like me, right?"

When it came to this, Leonard even lost his interest.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Camille softened instead.

She walked to the back of the sofa, gently pressed the acupuncture points on Leonard's head with her strong fingers, and comforted softly:

"Don't be like this Leonard. We were able to win this time because we bought time for the Secret Art Alliance. You are still young, younger than Tempus on the opposite side, and time is on our side..."

"Time is not on our side, sister."

Leonard closed his eyes and told the cold truth.

"Maconia's population, economy, and other aspects are all stronger than us. Every day, the distance between them and us is widening."

"Tampus is an excellent king, cold and calculating. And what about us? There are only whimsical lunatics and petty archmages who are keen to compete for the little resources under their noses."

"but【{

Camille stopped, and said with some embarrassment.

"This is drinking poison to quench thirst, sister."

Leonard continued talking.

"Our actions have broken the rules that everyone has been silently following, and the gains we are about to make cannot make up for the losses caused by the rules being broken."

"After the battle is over, we will be liquidated. If we can gnaw out a legion in Tempus, things will be completely different, but..."

Camille saw his younger brother so frustrated, his eyes sharpened immediately.

"I will protect you, Leonard, no one can hurt you!"

"Thank you, sister."

Leonard smiled wryly, and started the conversation again.

"Well, we're not fools either. After all, we will exchange benefits in time. After this incident is over, I'm going to 'study spells' behind closed doors. As for you, you'd better go around."

"After all, I'm still an archmage, so I won't be personally threatened. But I never expect those guys to fail to think of you—Camille, you are my weakness, and this cannot be changed."

Camille's expression also turned bitter.

That's right, she was his brother's weakness, because she didn't have the talent to become a mage, and she was Leonard's only family member.

In the Arcane Alliance, even a powerful knight like Camille can only be regarded as a second-class citizen.

Because of some accident, she disappeared, and no one other than Leonard would bother to find her.

As long as she exists, Leonard is not invulnerable.

And if she doesn't exist, Leonard will fall into madness-she is the anchor for him to maintain his humanity, and she knows this very well.

"I get it, and if the war is over, I'll be out and about."

Hearing that his sister accepted his suggestion, Leonard finally showed a relieved smile.

"Ah, come to think of it, I'm still lucky. Although the future is bleak, at least I can read safely in the mage's tower."

"I don't know what the genius commander in the intelligence is worrying about now?"

…………

"that's terrible."

At this time, Serena was flipping through the seized documents by the flickering light of the torch.

The situation was so bad that it simply surpassed her imagination.

The main force of the Secret Art Alliance has completed the encirclement of this mountainous area with a firm posture.

They even didn't hesitate to damage some of the precious magic props, and they wanted to eat up the noble coalition forces here.

And the nobles who were surrounded were also belonged to the mud that could not support the wall.

In just two days of battle reports, it has been confirmed that double-digit nobles in the western region have become innocent souls in the mountains or awaiting payment of ransom.

Even after consecutive victories, Serena's small army has been armed to the teeth, it is impossible to directly face the defense line where the main force of the Secret Art Alliance is.

"There must be hope..."

Serena, murmured.

Chapter 19 Here we come!

"Stop! Who are you?"

Sir Stanley yelled and pressed the hilt of his sword nervously.

There is no way, although he is not a coward - on the contrary, he is known for his bravery, which is why he was appointed as the captain of the defense of Seideguan, but seeing the mighty team in front of him, it is really difficult to continue. Keep calm.

"We are followers of the Holy Maiden Aurora, and we are going to work with the Mystic Alliance. You open the city gate quickly, and don't get in the way here!"

Katerina at the front of the team shouted impatiently.

There is no way, Aurora's request is to speed up at all costs. She has been tossed by the almost endless trek, so she has no leisure to talk nonsense with the blind guards in front of her.

"You can't go out now!"

Sir Stanley also shouted out of duty.

"Now we are at war with the Secret Art Alliance, and danger may appear ahead at any time. Besides, I have not received any instructions to release a team of this size..."

"Stop talking nonsense, there are other teams behind. Don't say that you don't know anything about what happened in the west! We are here to save people, so don't make trouble here!"

Katerina's voice grew more irritable.

As a pioneer, when she saw more and more people gathering behind her, so that the road could not stand, she should open the passage as soon as possible even for the sake of maintaining order.

"That's two different things!"

Sir Stanley returned obstinately.

"I have never received instructions to send troops to rescue there, nor have I received any letters of appeal for help from those troops in the west!"

"I warn you, if you insist on moving forward, I have reason to think that you are spies of the Secret Law Alliance, intending to attack the guards of the city...Ah!"

The impatient Katerina had completely lost her composure at this time. She suddenly jumped up and rushed in front of Sir Stanley. Before he could react, she pierced Sir Stanley's left knee with her swordsmanship.

"Come with me, open the city gate!"

As the eldest sister among Aurora's followers, Katerina has extremely high prestige.

Seeing that she had already made a move, several other followers here, as well as some other "volunteers" who did good deeds, all excitedly took up weapons and joined in the besieging of the guards.

When Aurora heard the news and rushed here, the defenders of Seideguan had already been beaten to the point of crying, wounded or fled.

Well, these guards didn't have the guts to get serious with these guys who seem to be of high status at first sight, and the commander knelt at the beginning, if he didn't escape, he would have to be beaten...

"Enough! These are our compatriots, don't go too far!"

Aurora's violent drinking suppressed all violent actions on the spot.

After that, she cast a large-scale healing spell, which cured most of the guards' injuries.

Sir Stanley also limped to his feet.

He looked at Aurora angrily, and warned loudly:

"Holy Maiden Aurora, even you have no right to attack the kingdom's checkpoints without authorization. I will sue you to the judge, you wait to receive the subpoena!"

Aurora glanced at the granite head coldly, and nodded:

"Okay, I will appear in court, see you then."

After finishing speaking, she never looked at Sir Stanley again, and stood directly at the gate of the city gate, commanding the troops to pass through this place as soon as possible.

"Everyone passes through the city gates in order of numbers, and no queues are allowed! Leave the emergency passage on the left and proceed on the right..."

Half an hour later, Margaret's team also arrived here.

Seeing that Aurora was still supervising the procession even though his mouth was parched, Margaret sighed and carefully walked over the crowd to Aurora's side.

"Don't be too tired. Aurora, there is likely to be a battle waiting for us ahead. You have to take care of yourself."

"I have it in my mind."

Aurora nodded indifferently.

"In a battle of this scale, my personal combat power is actually insignificant, as long as I can still use divine arts."

"Besides, it's actually more difficult for you, Margaret. After all, you..."

Aurora obviously meant something.

Margaret was taken aback for a moment, then showed a bitter smile.

"Ah, you found out. That's right, you're not as straightforward as you seem..."

"That's right, I'm very sad. I was the one who was supposed to be at the front, but instead I wasted my time in panic until you acted..."

Aurora glanced at Margaret irritably, and interrupted her somewhat impolitely.

"I'm not talking about that! I mean, you should have dreamed it too, right? Don't tell me that Serena didn't appear in your dream!"

Margaret hesitated for a moment.

"What did you say? Yes, I dreamed about Serena three days ago, and she said everything was fine..."

"Damn it!"

Aurora's expression became even more anxious.

"Is it just me? Is this guy really trying to hold on, or is he just teasing me?"

"Wait, what are you talking about?"
