Wizard From Afar

"Well, I didn't have breakfast in the morning...Can I start if there is nothing wrong?"

There is a huge long table in the center of the spacious and bright room. , On which is the northern map of the fortress of Duanjieshan; at one end and the other of the long table sit the two existing "desalions" in the fortress, and on both sides stand the commander of Legion and the two in the fortress. Man’s subject and Guardian Captain.

Like Connold's side, the fortress deputy commander Ernst Drexis is like an adjutant, from start to finish all motionless behind the Prince of Sackland's chair.

And a certain wizard advisor who is still yawning, the prince’s prince, Loren Torino, who is "just released from prison", is standing on Brandon's left. The black hair wizard with his mouth twitching slightly couldn't help but glance to the side. The position that should have belonged to the dead guard Captain was occupied by a familiar guy.

Edward...

After the tragic death of the night watchman guarding Captain in a raid on the camp, he didn’t know how to become the commander of this banner regiment, and it was a matter of course. Take up the post of Guard Captain.

The indifferent Edward carried his hands on his back, as if he hadn’t noticed the sight passing by; while Brandon, who was sitting on the chair and yawning, still had an impatient expression, the fingers of the right hand. Beating the table non-stop.

This is the 3rd day when the entire group arrived at the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, a meeting convened urgently by Connold-except for Brandon, almost all of the people present were in the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain. Commanders at the top.

The news of the complete destruction of the northward search team is no longer a secret in Duanjieshan; but what the overwhelming majority soldiers don’t know is that the sentry tower in the Valley of Blood Skeletons was destroyed together—if This is really a sign of the invasion of monsters, and it is likely to prove their soldiers' front and even the Valley of Blood Skeletons.

From the Valley of Blood Skeletons to the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, it only takes ten days for a small number of elites, and a large army only needs a large half a month. Along the way, it is almost undefended except for the outposts; if the monster army is Really is about to invade, the empire must be ready to fight immediately.

But everyone present knows that the answer is no.

For some unspeakable reasons, Connold did not report the invasion to the rear. The news that the entire empire received was still just like the previous winter, when monsters roaming the wilderness in groups A group of intrusions going south, not an army that is likely to conquer the fortress.

At the same time, due to the fall of the sentry tower and the complete destruction of the search team, the cavalry of the fortress surrounded and suppressed hordes in the north of Sackland, harassing the ice werewolves in the fortress supply line.

In other words, they don’t know anything about the situation north of the Blood Skeleton Valley!

This is why Connold had to hold a meeting urgently-even if Brandon can half a month in advance, or even arrive at the fortress ten days in advance, he can handle the current situation more easily.

At least...not because the people in the fortress were alarmed and the "truth" that is becoming more and more impossible to conceal will force him to ask his younger brother for help, driving himself to the point where he has no choice.

Connold crossed his arms on the table with his fingers crossed, his expression still serious and determined, completely ignoring Brandon’s complaint: "How about the news from the rear?"

" After eliminating the circling ice werewolves, our logistics supply line has been reopened, and the twelve fortresses in northern Sackland can provide sufficient sources of troops and supplies to the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain at any time."

Slightly bowed, Ernst, who was standing behind, came forward, and the right hand pointed at the territory between Prince Zackland and the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain: "Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a small number of monsters are still moving. Half of the cavalry in the fortress is patrolling the south, and reminds the towns and fortresses to take precautions."

"If the fortress is under siege, can the fortress last for a few days?"

"Once it is under siege, With our reserves of materials, it can last for three months-but it also means abandoning the remaining fortresses and fortresses. In the case of fighting separately, they can persist for more than one month; of course, these all are the worst. In fact, it should be able to last longer."

"Let each fortress and fortress keep in touch at any time, regularly send out rangers to report information, once encountering an enemy attack, immediately ignite the fire beacon and send a messenger; the cavalry remaining in the fortress We must be on standby at any time."

"Yes." Ernst was slightly nodded, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone around the long table, almost everyone suppressing his anxiety and urgency Mood.

"How's the news from the north?" Connold asked coldly.

"After the guard tower in the Blood Skeleton Valley was destroyed, there was always no new intelligence. The soldiers at the nearby guard tower only found a small number of icy werewolves running around, but did not launch an attack." Ernst immediately opened the mouth and said: "According to past experience, it is very likely that they are the vanguards of the monster army and are investigating our defense."

"Keep it open, and from today onwards, the sentries of all fortresses will be doubled. , The night rotation doubles; once there are ice-worgen close to the fortress and the watch tower, the number is small, you can start the hunt without reporting!"

"Yes! Then, the next issue is today..."

"His Royal Highness Connold--!"

An almost thunderous roar interrupted Ernst, and the entire map room fell into a short silence for an instant. The faintly curious black hair wizard squinted his eyes and turned to the source of the sound.

This is a Knight in heavy armor. His burly figure is even thinner than Ernst in front of him, and the exaggerated Holy Cross pendant hanging on his chest is enough. Prove his identity.

"Duanjieshan Church, Lord Chief Knight of the Church, Lord Chang Naze." Slowly raising his cold eyes, Ernst read the identity of the other party without emotion:

"This is the Legion meeting. You should make a request before telling your Highness. Is the Knight of the church as rude as you?!"

Almost at the moment when his voice fell, the church Knight Behind Naze, several Knights, who also wore white robes and hung the holy cross pendant, stood up at the same time; on the other side of the long table, several officers who were also fully armed also pressed the hilt of the sword at their waist.

It seems that the fortress of Duanjieshan is also not a monolithic piece... The black hair wizard who looked at this scene silently thought to himself.

"It is because of the respect for His Highness, the respect for the empire and the glory of the Holy Cross, we will stand here and return to His Highness with passion." Church Knight Nazer waved his hand and stopped behind him. Knight:

"Because we firmly believe that His Royal Highness puts the Empire and the Holy Cross in the heart at all times!"

"So, your rude interruption of the meeting is Because the church doesn’t think I’m religious enough?"

Crimson’s pupils were cold, and Connold, who was looking at the other person, slowly opened the mouth and said:

"Or... do you think Am I unfaithful to the empire?"

An imperceptible smile slipped over Loren's mouth.

This scene is really interesting.

"In the name of the Holy Cross, I assure you that Holy Cross Church has no intention of this——!"

Every word of Knight of the Church is powerful and impassioned. I want to know that he is a Sackland, with eyes widened like a copper bell: "But besides preparing for the war, isn't there anything more important to the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain?!"

Speaking of this, the church Knight's right hand suddenly stretched out until Brandon, who was sitting there still yawning, said: "I think everyone in this room should be very clear, Your Royal Highness Brandon Desalion Why did you come to the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain!"

"Hey...why did you suddenly get involved with me?"

Brandon was taken aback for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slid across A sly smile: "Didn't you all just pretend to look like something? I almost thought you all couldn't see me!"

"No one ignores you, Bran Deng." Sighed then said in a low voice, Connold stared at him solemnly: "The reason why you are not mentioned is because there are more important things to deal with, so..."

"Sorry, please allow me to interrupt you again!"

Church Knight Nazer stood up again, and his almost fanatical and religious expression interrupted Connold's words: "But right now As far as the Mountain Fortress is concerned, there is nothing more important than the information of the Blood Skeleton Valley!"

"Since His Royal Highness Brandon has arrived, please let us start discussing when to dispatch new ones as soon as possible. The patrol went north to investigate intelligence and avoid..."

"Wait!" Brandon suddenly raised his right hand.

"Wait, wait, wait..." I saw Brandon stood up softly from the chair, looked at the church Knight, and looked at his big brother Connold. There is a group of officers, Lazily opened the mouth and said:

"When did I promise you that I would like to patrol the north?"
