Oracle of Terra

"W looking for me? I remember that the Sarkaz people in the task force are not under my command?"

Although Telles is in command of the entire Sarkaz army, the leader of the task force is still Lucifer. Even on the current front line, although the task force can do not as much as in the city, the investigation activities And osmotic damage, the range of options available to members of Mudrock Squad is simply too much.

It is also suitable for guys like Lucifer who like to play tricks.

Telles came to the contingent camp and looked at W who was in a trance with a salted fish face.

"My beloved disciple, why are you looking for a teacher?"

"You're here...I heard you're leaving after the Civil War, is that true?"

168. The trickster

[Link report 2745, failed, reconnect after 365 cycles]

"Ok?"

Getting up from the bed in a panic, Telles rubbed his eyes. He seemed to hear something just now?

Open the terminal for communication, and Telles browsed the reports submitted by those subordinates today.

"Did the reconnaissance team find any abnormalities? It stands to reason that after the cannon fodder is delivered, there should be a serious army coming over, or are they afraid that Baikal's delivery is too outrageous?"

Telles recalled the character traits of Duke Ivan that Herag had mentioned, a complete war madness, although mediocre as a lord, he was a first-class expert in field command and on the battlefield.

He should not avoid the war itself, but considering the difference between modern warfare and ancient warfare, maybe there is some strategy?

"What am I thinking about so much? Anyway, let Lucifer and Mr. Herag think about the brain-intensive strategy customization. I'll just fish for fish honestly. My home field will be after the fight begins."

Telles licked his lips and began to think about how to maximize the benefits of 1000 Sarkaz soldiers. The ancient spells lasted for a long time, but so far, his philosophy remains unchanged. The once prosperous power is not It will never decline, even if it can grant spell linkage to soldiers on a large scale, it does not mean that they have really become an undead army. This kind of symbiosis of life still has its weaknesses. The weakness is that his authority can spread, so there is no need to consider it. There are so many.

"It was a great time when wars didn't require brains."

Sighing, Telles left the tent, and the black crow that was parked on the top of the tent landed on his shoulders.

"His Majesty."

Telles was too lazy to correct the fat bird Raven's slip of the tongue.

"Is your consciousness split and stable?"

When Raven projected his consciousness to the avatar, the network would be disconnected due to the change of the demon. I heard that he suppressed a large number of demons in the sealed place of Kazdel, so he couldn't get away and act at all, even himself. Although most of the people of Terra don't know much about the Black Crow King, the country's high-level officials and some secret organizations are very familiar with the Black Crow King.

"Yes, I heard that you are participating in the war again, and I want to do my best."

"You just collect information honestly and you're done, so why don't you still want to go out for a stroll?"

Thinking of the appearance of the fat bird of the six-eyed black crow, Telles shook his head. As a creature created by God, he is really too fat.

You must know that the newly created one still smells like a disaster messenger, but I don’t know why after thousands of years, this bird is getting fatter and fatter... Oh yes, he raised it, so it’s okay.

"No, Your Majesty, it's about Casimir's movements. I want to report to you."

"Ah? No, before the fight started, Kazimir couldn't bear it anymore?"

Telles was a little surprised. After all, what he considered was to defend against Casimir's attack alone after the riots in Ursas were over, and then took this opportunity to temporarily separate from Ursas, and turn some eyes from Talu Pull on them to attract away.

But what kind of trouble is this?

"It's Ivan's son, Neo Ivanovich's strategy. He deliberately leaked the news that Ursus is going to fall into a split war. I'm afraid he wants to expand the scale of the war."

"I can't find any good for them."

Telles felt that this move was too crazy, and it was a forbidden move that shouldn't be done, but Ivan's son did just that.

In a sense, he is crazier than his father, no... Maybe he did this to follow Duke Ivan's intention.

The more chaotic the quagmire, the easier it is to swim in it. This is Herag's evaluation of Duke Ivan. He is good at finding a way out in a big melee, and his loyalty to Ursus is not so high. The reason why he was loyal to the empire was also because the previous emperor had promised him that Ursus would fight endless wars before unifying this land.

And before the great rebellion, the previous emperors did indeed carry out endless expansion wars as promised.

Everything is for Ursus to rise again and become a veritable empire.

Naturally, the former emperor's promise should only be to stabilize Ivan's thoughts. The Grand Duke of Ursus, who became famous from the war, would not betray his country because a promise did not meet expectations.

The premise is that the current emperor does not want to clean them all up.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that the civil war is going to become the Great Patriotic War?"

Telles was thinking, should he take action at this moment to help Ursus and maintain the current civil war pattern?

"What is he thinking!"

Feordo was furious in the palace of the capital of Ursas. He looked at the newsletter in his hand and tore it to pieces. He never expected that old man Ivan would dare to do this!

"This is clearly collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country!"

"Your Majesty, but sooner or later he will be cleaned up by us, but I didn't expect that he would choose such a bad strategy."

Speaker Witte also had an ugly expression on his face. If Casimir is allowed to intervene in the civil war in Ursus, then things will become complicated, and then there may be a reduction in the territory of Ursus, which is the worst situation to be avoided. Well, before the great rebellion, if the territory obtained by the previous emperor's desperate wars was taken back by the Kurantas of Casimir, it would not be funny at all, and Feordo's prestige as the emperor would even be compromised. Lost a lot.

What's more, if Ivan joins forces with the Casimirs, if such a shameful situation occurs, his original confidence in General Herag and Bodrokasti, as well as the thriving Sochi and Chernobog will be damaged. Quite a few, what Feordo wanted was not an Ursus who was caught in the flames of war and occupied by the Kazimirs.

Maybe before the civil war is over, those inner guards will come to wipe him out with knives.

"Your Majesty, the matter is not that simple. No matter what Ivan said, it is impossible for Ivan to beg for mercy from the Casimirs, not to mention that he was the most ruthless group of people during the expansion war."

Witte's words brought Feordo back to his senses, so he began to think about what benefits such an approach would do him.

"Turn the civil war into the Great Patriotic War, and then send out the Fourth Army to defend the border, so that Sochi and Chernobog dare not take action easily? Or, expose the Baikal matter and give Sochi and Chernobog Norberg puts on the hat of a traitor... Hehe, this is a good strategy, but that old lunatic Ivan can't figure it out, it's probably his eldest son, that nasty Neo!"

——[Sly Man] Neo Ivanovic

This is the title given by many nobles to the eldest son of Ivan, who is also his heir. Unlike Ivan, who is brave and good at fighting, Neo is good at playing strategies and guiding the situation. At present, the intelligence that splits the Casimir people The method of luring them in and then planning to change the situation is indeed treacherous, but it is also a conspiracy.

But this is a strategy only used at a disadvantage. Does he think that the Fourth Army is not as good as the combination of Sochi and Chernobog?

Although Feordo bet everything on Boris and Tallulah, it didn't mean that he was sure that these two people would definitely win the civil war.

Most likely it will be a disastrous victory. He hopes to reduce the consumption of the Fourth Army in order to avoid coveting from Casimir and other countries. After all, it is a quarter of Ursus' army, although it will not hurt the country. , but after the civil war, there will be emptiness, so there will be a few more invasions at that time, and the situation in Ursas may become much worse than before the expansion of the war. The countries around Sri Lanka will not be willing.

"Your Majesty is afraid?"

"I'm really scared, Werther. The worst scene has emerged before my eyes. If it really becomes like that, I'm afraid I will be the most stupid emperor in the history of Ursus."

"However, you still have room."

"room?"

"The current situation may not be what Duke Ivan is eager to hope for, and although Duke Ivan likes war, he is also a man of integrity. I am afraid he will not make a fuss about Grand Duke Baikal. Even if his son thinks of a good plan , but he couldn't control his father's temper."

"That is to say, there is still a turning point?"

"Yes."

Witt nodded, "It was mentioned in Sochi's letter that they have a way to deal with Kasimir's attack when the national power is empty. Mir or Samal are good deterrents."

"Then maybe that's just a rhetoric to reassure us. Sochi has only been developing for a year and a half. Although I appreciate their business talent and expansion speed, how can they solve the attack of the Casimirs?"

"I can only ask Your Majesty, you have bet your life and wealth on these people, do you still have doubts about them now?"

"You're pissing me off, Werther."

Feordo narrowed his eyes and looked at the confidant minister in front of him.

"Okay! Then you can only trust them, but you don't have to take the initiative to speak out. General Herag should have his own strategy, and we can't put too much pressure on them. Now we can only resign ourselves to fate. Werther, I hope Ursus will last forever." .”

"Long live Ursus, Your Majesty."

Werther bowed slightly, and there was a little hope in his eyes. If such a thing can really be done, maybe Tallulah Atrias can really become the pillar of Ursus.

If it failed before, it would just change the situation to before their rise, but if it fails now, Ursas' national fortune will seem to be shaken.

I only hope that Tallulah can give His Majesty a satisfactory answer.

169. Not Fearing Bitterness and Darkness (two chapters in one)

——3:23.PM/Casimir o Grand Knight Leader [Kavaleriyaki] a certain enterprise company

Since the decline of the knight family, Marna Linguang was unwilling to accept the family continuation method that humiliated the honor of knights, such as knight competitions, so the Linguang family gradually declined. By next year, they might not even be able to support the maintenance costs of the mansion.

Manna's father, who was once a hero of Casimir, gradually became disappointed with such Casimir. Watching his father die in such lamentation, Manna also lost confidence in this country. It has deteriorated and lost the years of glory. Even if the national power is maintained by money from knightly competitions and various commercial activities, the interior has long been decayed and turned into a mess.

Kemaenna is still a Casimir, a member of the glorious Linguang family. Although the glory has fallen, he will still be here.

Although as a civil servant, it doesn't matter what contribution he can make to this country, the knight hero who protects the country... Heh.

Manna was writing something with a pen, but there was a commotion outside the office.

"?"

He has never heard of this lifeless office being so lively?what happened?

Manna looked at the sword leaning against the table. Although he had become a social animal, he still couldn't get rid of the habit of staying with the sword. The education and training from his father had been carved into his bones.

"Ex-conquest knight, is Manna O Linguang?"

After a while, he saw a young man in a Casimir military uniform walking in with a calm expression on his face.

"It's me, but I've finished my service, right?"

When the persons in charge of the knight competition approached him and wanted to become the spokesperson, Manner, who had just finished his father's funeral, could be said to be An Nai's urge to stab the representatives of the business association to death and rejected them. , but now, the social animal life has smoothed his edges and corners, he just looked at the soldier in front of him calmly,

He doesn't look like those copper-smelling guys.

His eyes were burning, as if they were still full of pride and hope for the country?

what happened?

"You have been forewarned, Mr. Manna, the army will give you a retirement fee, and you will become a high-ranking knight commander and join the vanguard army."

"Wait, I haven't figured out the situation yet, why?"

Manna was a little confused by the non-commissioned officer's words, and he began to think whether he had been working too much overtime recently and his mind was a little confused.

The army drafted him?Why?

"This involves military secrets, but your promotion was identified by a veteran of the Knights Association. Originally, you wanted to recommend your niece Margaret Linguang, but this knight is not in Casimir at the moment, so that one They elected the current head of the Linguang family, which is you."

old sir?The appearance of his father's old friend appeared in Manna's mind, the old man who was called the symbol of the Silver Spear Pegasus.

In general, he is the spare tire after Margaret, which sounds really uncomfortable, but it is really nothing to do, it's just a military secret.

Manna looked around at his colleagues who were stunned. At least he, the former high-ranking knight commander, retired and became an ordinary civilian.

I'm afraid it's unexpected, but this is also the reality of o Casimir, the father who fought for the country and the people until half a foot stepped into the coffin, the brother and his wife who died for the country and fought against Ursus.

As well as his father's apprentice who was assassinated by the Chamber of Commerce, and the female knight commander who had a good relationship with him, he still remembered her voice and smile, which also caused Manna to be very disappointed in this country, but his father's old friend was what for?

Resuming his status as the commander of the war knights, that is to say, the Linguang family can return to the knight class. Is this a good thing for Manna?No, is it a bad thing?It doesn't count either.

Feeling apprehensive, he followed the young non-commissioned officer to his boss, who was usually arrogant to him, and resigned from his job. After receiving his pension, he looked at the thin envelope, and the non-commissioned officer had a strange expression on his face.

"Mr. Manna, the military will have subsidies. Mr. Pegasus mentioned that you are living very poorly."

"Ugh…"

Manna sighed, she didn't expect that such a young man who was about the same age as Margaret would care about her living income.

"If you enter the army, your income should be much better than being a civilian. Oh...Mr. Manna, you used to serve in the army. I shouldn't worry too much."

"No, I heard that the military's salary reform was changed five years ago, and that's what an old friend of mine told me."

"Really? I joined the army three years ago, so I don't know about it."

"Young man, what's your name?"

"Me? My name is Peary. I'm sorry for the attitude just now. It's just that Mr. Pigasus said to put on a show."

The old man's bad taste, Manna sighed heavily again.

"Peary, can you tell me what's going on? It's been a long time since I saw the mandatory call-up to the army."

When this happened, Manna could think of many things other than the old gentleman’s bad taste, or the fact that he couldn’t bear to see the current situation of Linguang’s family. The brother and the brother's wife died in battle, at the hands of the Ursus.

He didn't like the term very much.

"That's right, the Knights are going to take action against Ursus in the near future."

"what?"
