Lord of War

  ”The circumstances of this war have been dragging on for a little while.”

  In the combat meeting room, William’s face looked a little haggard, not at all as energetic as before.

   Sitting around the conference table are the generals responsible for the attack on Torus Fortress. Of course, there are not many humans, basically all orcs, half-orcs, and elves. The barbarian chiefs dared to rush into battle, but when it comes to discussing tactics with them, it is really a very ridiculous behavior. So William’s approach to these people was to tell them when and what to do, which turned out to be surprisingly good.

  As for William’s words, the people present did not quite understand, and therefore they did not open their mouths to express any thoughts or opinions.

  A few days ago, they tried to advance the line, but they hadn’t advanced one kilometer before they were stopped by Alexis.

   Far apart, Alexis and Kozilek felt the powerful fluctuations in power. If you go further, I am afraid that something less optimistic will happen. In this regard, William had no choice but to give up. After all, with his current strength and relying on the death tactics to push it up, I am afraid it would not be enough for the opponent to consume.

  You should know that the Chenas Empire also stopped before this fortress.

  As for the underpass plan, the current situation is also quite difficult.

  Torus Fortress engraved large-scale solid magic, strengthening the entire fortress and the surrounding several kilometers of ground and the depth of 500 meters underground. Although this is not impossible to crack, it takes a very long time and is far from a problem that can be solved in a short time. At least it will take one or two months to dig such a channel. But in this process, once it is discovered, then the consequences can be imagined.

“From the news from the Void Realm, the Fascist Kingdom seems to have been completely unable to resist the step by step pressing of the Zenas Empire. It is expected that the entire line will collapse in at most three months. In the end, only the Fortress of Torus is left. The only line of defense is laid out.” William said in a deep voice, then put the report in his hand on the conference table and distributed it to others. Even if only a small group of people can understand it, the respect for William We must do everything, “At that time, if we want to occupy the majority of the interests, it will be completely impossible.”

“That’s nothing to lose.” Someone said, it was a half-orc, representing a barbarian tribe in the Wildlands, who came to the meeting, “Anyway, our loss is not big, and it is definitely impossible for this kingdom to continue. Existed, now it’s a victory for us.”

  William sighed helplessly.

  Because Thorus Fortress has been unable to approach, so we can only carry out some sweeping and looting around this line of defense. Only in terms of the results of the battle, the gains of the Void Principality this time are not small, so the wild tribes participating in the war feel a bit of satisfaction, so naturally there is no intention to harden Toru. The hard bones of the Fortress.

  As for Alexis and Kozilek, they can only block the bombardment of the Magic Crystal Cannon at most once, but the next third shot will definitely cause them to lose one person. This loss is not something William can bear, because he knows very well that the most critical point for the Void Principality to truly become an empire and gain a firm foothold lies in the three superpowers under Sean now.

  If you don’t have these super powers, then even if you can accumulate enough background, it will not help. On the contrary, because the Void Principality is big enough, it will attract more wolves to look around. The first to bear the brunt is the Millennium Covenant Empire and the Chenas Empire. William knows the mentality of these empires very well. The cooperation is only based on the unwillingness to bear too much loss, but once the Void Principality is unable to show the unique strength of the empire, the Zenus Empire will definitely not mind taking a bite.

  Even if Jason, the **** of war, can be trusted, the high-levels of the First Empire in the East will definitely not let it go.

  In addition to this, there is the most important point, William can’t tell these wild tribe people.

  That is Qi Yun.

  The Void Principality wants to be directly upgraded to an empire, and it needs a little bit of energy. And this point can only be perfectly supplemented after the fortress of Torus is breached-if the fortress of Torus is not in front of William, he does not want to chew on this difficult bone. Unless he is given more troops or more time, he will be able to completely conquer this fortress.

   But on the contrary, what he lacks most now is these two things.

  Because of the opening of the four battlefields, the Void Principality has not only been stretched out, but even the support of logistics lines has become a major problem. William even felt that if he were a general of the Kingdom of Line, he would definitely lead his troops to raid the Void City at this time, and even occupy the territory of the Void Principality outside the fortress of the Straits, completely cutting off the Void Principality’s troops. logistics.

  William mentioned this concern in his letter to Neal, but he only mentioned it slightly. Because apart from Sean and William, no one knew that Neil was not only good at internal affairs, he also had terrible talent and vision in the military. After all, William was also regarded as an apprentice taught by Neil.

   But now, these are not things he should take care of. The most important thing for him now is to take down the Thorus Fortress as soon as possible.

  So soon, William began to issue new combat orders during this temporary combat meeting.

  In fact, these combat orders are still simple and old-fashioned: implement military blockades on several main roads around Thorus Fortress to ensure that no materials can be transported into Thorus Fortress. Then continue to looting the surrounding cities and villages, and stop all killings before the lives of our soldiers are not endangered. After all, after the establishment of the Void Empire, it will require a large labor force. These prisoners of war will be the future source of labor for the Void Empire.

  Although Sean banned the slave trade and slavery, the punishment for prisoners of war was still the same as that of other countries on the mainland. Only the slave treatment of captives has been abolished, but this point remains the same for non-free people. It’s just that if these prisoners of war work hard enough, they can still regain their status as freedmen by virtue of their own ability, and once they are converted from prisoners of war to freemen, they can also get some policy preferential treatment.

  Since the start of the war against the Fascist Kingdom, except for the slaughter tactics implemented at the beginning to involve the defensive net, the Void Duchy has ransacked the population of millions of people in more than ten territories of the Fascist Kingdom. These people were continuously transported into the wild land through logistical routes, and were used as labor to participate in the construction of various cities, fortresses, and defensive strongholds in the wild land.

  This is the strategic plan constructed by Hela, Neil, and William: to accelerate the growth of the void empire through war.

  Although this requires a considerable amount of manpower to take care of prisoners of war and prevent rebellion, after this plan has now gradually been put on track, the speed of the construction of the Void Empire has obviously accelerated a lot. In particular, the source of troops has also been supplemented quite a bit. Although there is still a big gap between becoming a real soldier and an elite force, a perfect reserve force mechanism has been thoroughly established.

  As long as this series of wars are calmed down, the Void Principality only needs a short period of development time to become a truly powerful empire comparable to the five ancient empires.

  No matter who it is, they know that the Void Principality must not be allowed to spend this time. However, under the tactics of William and Hela and others, no one can stop it, because the two empires closest to the Void Principality and most threatening to the Void Principality have their own troubles at this time, and the small ones around At best, the country can only make the current Void Principality feel a little troublesome, but this level of trouble is not even tricky.

  It can even be said that the reason for the trouble is purely because the timing of these jumping clowns is so good. If it weren’t for the three main forces of the Void Principality to be dragged down by the Fascist Kingdom, the Undead Army, and the Southern Allied Forces, then where would the Kingdom of Line, the United Nations of the Karossa Tribe, and the Robin Knight State run out to make trouble.

  Just as William issued the new strategic plan order, the curtain of this combat meeting room was suddenly opened roughly.

  Since a cold wind entered from outside the camp, the temperature in the entire tent dropped by more than ten degrees.

  This low temperature is not the normal seasonal temperature, but almost turned into real murderous aura.

  Several guards hiding the tent to protect the tent immediately appeared from various places, including even a former peace council executive who was subdued by Sean.

  However, when these people saw that the intruder was Alexis, they were immediately stunned.

   “You all leave first.” William frowned.

  He knows the identity of Alexis, even he must maintain sufficient respect for this super power. But he knew very well that Alexis would never interfere in all his military actions. On the contrary, if it was his own request, Alexis and Kozilek would cooperate as much as possible. At this time, knowing that they had entered here without any notification during the combat meeting, it proved that there must be something urgent for Alexis.

  After hearing William’s words, everyone in the camp stood up and saluted, and then left one by one.

  After everyone had left, Alexis said, “I will be away for a while.”

   “Leave?” William was really stunned this time, “Did Shaun have any troubles over there?”

Alexis, Kozilek, Uramo, and Noro are all Sean’s attendants. William knows this very well, even though he doesn’t know where Sean got these three superpowers. , But this is not something he needs to consider. As the military commander of the Void Principality, and even the future Void Empire, what he has to do now is to take down the Fortress of Thorus, and before that, Ericsis and Kozilek would not leave.

   But now, Alexis is here to tell him that she must leave here for a while, so William has thought of the only answer.

  Except for Sean’s trouble, there is no second possibility.

“I don’t know.” Alexis shook his head. “According to the news from Ulamog, Sean seems to be fighting someone and something went wrong. Ulamog should have rushed over, but now he There was an accident in the matter in charge, so he couldn’t get out for the time being.”

   “What about the Chaos Portal?” William was also a little anxious.

“No.” Alexis shook his head, “We can’t reach Sean for the time being, so Ulamog can’t accurately locate it. Kozilek is not suitable for this task, so I can only rush to the place where the incident occurred. … But you can rest assured that if Kozilek stays here, your plan can still be implemented. If the situation is critical here, you can send me a message through Kozilek, I have already told him.”

“I don’t need to worry about it. You should set off to find Sean as soon as possible.” William heard Alexis say that he could not contact Sean for the time being, and he realized the seriousness of the problem. “In any case, you must To find Sean.”

  Alexis glanced at William a little unexpectedly, but she nodded, “You don’t need to say that I will do this too.”

   After that, Alexis immediately turned around and left, and drove directly to the location of the accident where Ulamog came.

  ……

  At the same moment, on a mountain peak in the wild land, Noro also found Hella.

However, unlike Alexis’s slightly euphemistic way of expression, Noro said straightforwardly: “Ms. Shaun has an accident. Including me, everyone who has signed a soul contract with Sean can’t be contacted. Lord Shaun, I don’t know what exactly happened.”

“Something happened to Sean?” Hela was originally looking at the terrain ahead, preparing to arrange the battlefield, but at the moment when she heard Noro’s blockbuster, she was also completely shocked, “What the **** is going on? Why am I? Haven’t heard from William and Neal?”

“Because it happened not long ago.” Noro said in a deep voice, “This news was sent by Mr. Ulamog, and I really couldn’t get in touch with Lord Shaun. After I have confirmed it many times, I just came to see you. Miss Alexis has already set off to the location of the incident. The specific situation can only be notified by Miss Alexis. In the current situation, I don’t think it is appropriate to continue the war. choose.”

“No.” Hela was silent for a while, and then shook her head, “Sean is not clear now, and we have to take an offensive posture. If we shrink our forces or retreat now, then people will be aware of it. If there are problems within the Principality, then the result will be more troublesome. I believe that William will definitely make the same choice. After all, the situation he needs to face will be more dangerous than ours.”

   “According to you, are we going to end the war as soon as possible?” Noro asked.

“Yes.” Hela nodded, “Fortunately, the situation on my side has been well controlled, and the enemy is also stepping into the ambush circle according to my expectations. I can close the net after half a month. However, it may take a month to a month and a half to wait until the situation is completely stabilized, but during this time I don’t need to go to do everything for myself. The troops can also provide support to other battlefields. End the war in other places soon.”

  Nolo hesitated for a moment, and intuitively told him that the most appropriate method at the moment is not to continue the war to expand the territory of the Void Duchy, or even to continue the imperial plan, but to maintain the stability and cohesion within the duchy. Because this time something happened to Sean, he realized a very bad place, and this feeling was that he had never appeared before, so he was so worried.

   is different from the abilities that Alexis, Kozilek, Ulamog and others get when they are promoted to the legend. The ability that Noro gets when he is promoted to the legend is the legendary perception. This is a very mysterious and special legendary ability, a bit similar to the sixth sense, or the ability to predict. Although you can’t see the future picture clearly, this sixth sense can play a role to a large extent. Some very critical roles.

  It is precisely because of his ability that Alexis decided to go to the place where Sean’s accident happened under his strong request.

  After all, Sean has caused a lot of troubles, not once or twice in a crisis. People like Alexis, Kozile, and Noro have long been used to it. Only this time, Noro felt really bad.

  However, he was able to persuade Alexis and Ulamona because they all share the same origin.

  But Hela is different. She only knows that Noro is the old minister of the Sean family, but does not know Noro’s true identity.

  This made Noro very distressed, and he did not have enough reasons and evidence to convince Hela. In particular, Hella’s strategic plan has entered the final stage. At the moment, this plan has reached the key to its success. It is obviously unrealistic to make Hella give up.

  ……

  At the same time, in Garrod Fortress, Ulamog is also solemn.

  After he followed Sean’s arrangement and came here to help Simi clean up the rebels, he has always been a kind and smiling face. Although his strength is very strong, there is no opponent in Garrod that can compete with him, but the enemy he wants to solve is like a mouse that makes him feel unusually annoying, because these insurgents are not positive and addictive at all. The army of the Principality of Rhodes contends, but fires one shot from the other, making Garrod’s army tired of coping.

  Under such circumstances, even though Ulamo’s strength is terrifying, he is quite helpless.

  Before Sean’s accident, Ulamog had always maintained an indifferent mentality, treating this task as a rare leisure experience. At the same time, it also happens to allow him to quickly integrate into the system of this world, to understand the relevant information and history of the entire plane, and so on.

   However, after feeling the message transmission from the Tooth of Void, Ulamog couldn’t calm down. He tried to contact Sean for the first time, but the result was that the soul connection channel was closed. He could not contact Sean at all, let alone carry out precise coordinate positioning.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Ulamo immediately contacted Alexis and Noro at the first time. Later, at Noro’s strong request, Ulamo also agreed to let Alexis immediately Rush to the location of the incident to check the situation. He had already let the Void Tooth wait for Alexis there, and also to protect Elizabeth, who was in a weak state. After all, many people still want Elizabeth’s head.

  However, after this incident, Ulamog didn’t have a relaxed and leisurely mind at all.

  At this time in the Garrod fortress, Ulamog had already made a large area of ​​open space for help, and he had carved a huge magic circle on the ground. Although there is only one magic circle, for those who have received systematic high-level magic circle knowledge, it can be seen at a glance that this is composed of dozens of small and medium-sized magic circles superimposed together, and this superposition not only does not interfere with each other. And destruction, instead let these magic circles all re-form a complete large magic circle.

  Even if the magic has not been injected, the powerful aura that exudes is enough to shock countless people.

   “Your Excellency Ulamog, what are you…” Simi had a meeting in the combat meeting room, but after feeling this powerful momentum fluctuation, she rushed out for the first time.

  Unlike ordinary magicians, Simi recognized it at a glance. The rune mark carved by the large magic circle that occupies the entire vestibule square of the Garrod Fortress obviously belongs to Chaos Language. This is a kind of language that does not belong to the aspect of order, and can only be seen outside the void or on the battlefield of different dimensions.

“There is no time to continue to spend here.” Ulamog said in a deep voice, “I know that with your abilities, it is not easy for the enemy to break the Garrod Fortress. It will last until the second wave of void reinforcements. Arrival is still possible. But now, I have no patience to consume them, so even if it causes a shock change, I can only summon the Chaos Legion here.”

  ”Chaos Legion!?” Simi was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned pale, “Your Excellency Ulamog, I don’t allow you to do this kind of behavior, this…”

“Don’t worry.” Ulamog said, although his voice was calm, he revealed an indisputable and rebellious strength, “This is my Chaos Legion, not a bait thrown out of the void…. …And I will grasp the size, and will not summon a large-scale Chaos Legion.”

  Ulamo even wants to summon a large-scale Chaos Legion is impossible, because Shaun is the son of the plane, so Ulamo cannot overly deplete the origin of the world. He can only summon the corresponding chaotic power to support him within the range allowed by the will of the world, and under the limitation of this power, he can’t even summon the seven strongest monsters under his command at the same time. This is also Ulamo’s own helplessness.

  ”What the hell…what happened?” Sensitive Simi immediately realized that Ulamog was anxious at this moment.

   “Elizabeth has been rescued, but your Grand Duke Asuna is still missing.” Ulama said in a deep voice, “and Sean…something happened.” (to be continued~^~)
