Lord of War

This is the second time that Qing En has entered Tonis Fortress after coming to this world.

However, unlike the last time, this time Sean entered the fort from the inner city, but this time he entered the fort from the outer city.

Contrary to imagination, the city gate of the outer city was still open, and there were only twenty soldiers on duty, ten on each side. Outside the city gate there is a horse-repelling fence, four rows on the left and right, with a distance of less than 50 centimeters from each other. They are fixed to the ground with chain nails horizontally, leaving only the middle one leading directly to the city gate, which can only accommodate three people walking in parallel. trail. It seems that compared with the last time Sean left the city, he looked more dignified and disciplined. Maybe someone really beat the Seventh Legion afterwards.

Sean's entry into the city this time did not cause any accidents, and everything was carried out according to the rules.

Dismounting, queuing, and paying the entry fee, except for the occasional hostile gazes on him, no one was so eager to trouble Sean. As for these gazes, most of them immediately retracted when they met Sean's eyes, and they didn't dare to look too much. It seemed that they were a little afraid of Sean.

Of course Sean knew that he was the most unpopular person in the 7th Legion in the outer city, probably not one of them.

It's just that if he was asked to do it again, he would still choose to kill the two low-level silver experts.

After entering the city, Sean didn't stay here in the outer city, but immediately got on his horse and hurried towards the inner city.

After breaking up with Rina and Alfred from Modeg, Sean didn't waste any time and went straight to Fortress Tonis.

It will take about a month to go from Tonis Fortress to Panda Territory. This is the result of crossing the Black Lagoon Grassland and the entire Shaov Territory. If it is to take the official route, it will even take more than two months with the size of the army. , but if troops were sent directly from Fortress Tonis to invade Mordegg Territory, it would only take less than a month's journey.

In fact, Sean said that if he doesn't see Elsie in a month, he will step down on Mordegg's territory, but this time is actually just ordering the Boulder family to hand over people. Of course, the real time to start the war cannot be When the time limit is up, the fight will start. Not to mention Asuna's reaction and attitude, William's side needs at least a month of preparation work, mainly to determine the logistics supply route and the safety of the route. After all, the march of an army, the food problem is one of them. among the top priorities.

No matter where Sean intends to use the Iron Wings army, William must prepare a logistical plan of action.

The so-called military speed is precious, the sooner these things are prepared, the faster the speed of marching and fighting will naturally be.

After entering the inner city, Sean didn't make any stops, and ran directly to the city lord's mansion.

But at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao En unexpectedly saw a person who should not be here.

Elizabeth.

"As expected, you are here." Seeing the astonished Sean, Elizabeth showed a charming smile on her face.

But when he heard Elizabeth's words, Sean showed a helpless wry smile: "It seems that I have been looked down upon by the Marquis."

The smile on Elizabeth's face was still charming, and she did not take Xiao En's words.

But in fact, Elizabeth clearly remembered what Asuna said to her after Xiao En declared war on the Boulder family.

"After half a month, you'll be waiting outside the city lord's mansion every day. If Xiao Si comes, you can lend him whatever he needs, and everything will follow his arrangements. If a war really breaks out between him and the Boulder family If he didn't come to me, then Sean wouldn't be worthy of my high regard. A person who clearly knows where his limit is is far better than a person with talent and strength, because the former will always know how to get it. Best interests...so if Sean comes to me then I'm sure he can give me an excuse in two years but if he doesn't come to me then it's not worth the effort to pay attention to him gone."

At this moment, Sean appeared outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

But Elizabeth, it was only today that she began to stand outside the house and wait for Sean.

What happened next went so smoothly that Sean felt unbelievable. Originally, Sean thought that Asuna would send 5,000 soldiers as reinforcements, which would be very good, but he didn't expect that he would directly appoint the entire Thunder Front to join this war, and there would be another 10,000 mixed troops. The infantry served as a reserve force, and this size of troops was completely beyond Xiao En's expectations.

However, in stark contrast to this unexpected situation, Elizabeth was not the commander of this army. Sean had known for a long time that it was impossible for Asuna to lead the army in person, but he guessed that Elizabeth should take over, but he did not expect that among the three female magicians under Asuna, the most famous and powerful The least obvious one.

The light of Lei Yao, Simi Heweisi.

This is a field noble with the title of Viscount, but she is a field noble in name, but in fact she has never been to her own territory once, but has always stayed in the Tonys Fortress like the other two companions. Purely in terms of strength, although Simi is also a high-ranking silver peak, she is actually the weakest among the four including Asuna. Has a solid basic knowledge that is completely beyond the other two companions.

It's just that as an academic magician, there is usually a bad problem, that is, the lack of actual combat experience. In this regard, even after fighting with Asuna for so many years, Simi still hasn’t made much progress, so she absolutely needs guards around her when she casts spells—in the past, Vivienne or Yasi Na is in charge, but when she lent Simmy to Sean, Elizabeth had already stated that Sean would be in charge of Simmy's safety studies.

This made Sean suddenly turn one head into two big ones.

After a brief introduction to each other, Elizabeth left Simmy and Sean, and then left the Santo's Mansion, seemingly very busy.

"Master Asuna and Lady Elizabeth have been busy dealing with military matters recently." Seeming to see Xiao En's doubts, Simi explained.

Simi is a woman who looks a little gentle.

She has chestnut shoulder-length hair, and she is not as coquettish as Elizabeth in appearance. It can only be said that her facial features are very clean, and she is roughly the same type of person as Rena. However, since Simi is a magician who specializes in pedantry, her skin is naturally very fair and delicate. Only Cecilia can compete with her in terms of skin, and Elizabeth is slightly inferior, not to mention Talk about a female mercenary like Reina who is always active in the sun.

Because Simi has been wearing the dark purple magic robe for many years, her figure is still a mystery. It is said that even the closest people such as Elizabeth and Asuna have never seen her. But what makes Simi really intoxicating is the intellectual temperament she reveals when she wears glasses, which is completely different from Asuna's coldness and Elizabeth's charm, which makes her also become the whole Tony One of the most distinctive women in Sri Lanka.

Sean's eyes only stayed on Simmy's body for a while, and after glancing at him from an admiring angle, he stopped staring at Simi, but met his four eyes. This is a kind of etiquette among nobles, but Simi seems to be more shy than imagined, just looking at Xiao En like this, her face quickly turns red, as if the familiar apple.

"Military fields?" Sean was a little curious, "Can Zhaonis Fortress reclaim military fields?"

"In the outer defense area, an experimental field has been reclaimed. There is a river beside the Fortress of Tonis. Asuna-sama digs wells to draw water from the river for irrigation. Although it is a bit laborious, if this experimental field is successfully reclaimed, The initial self-sufficiency can be achieved with regard to the food problem in Fortress Tonis." Simmy heard about Sean from Elizabeth, so he took him as one of his own and explained very seriously, "But it's just self-sufficiency. It’s just self-sufficient, if it really enters the situation of wartime alert, it still needs to buy a large amount of food from the rear and transport it in....And with the special situation of the fortress, it can only be cultivated twice a year at most.”

Sean nodded, not delving into this issue. He only knows the situation of Fortress Tonis back then, which was set by the system, and even if players want to fight, although they also need to prepare for logistical issues, it is far from as complicated as this real world, and it is usually set automatically by the system Logistical routes, many things are much simpler. It was only after coming to this real world that Sean discovered those places that were truly different, and naturally gained some vision and insight that were different from games.

It's not just that the world is changing, Sean is also constantly changing.

"Thunderstorm's battle preparations will probably take about five to ten days." Simi did not go further into the topic of Juntian, and changed the topic when he opened his mouth. It was not as tactful as it was, but rather blunt, but already I am used to the directness of the soldiers, so of course Sean will not have any strange feelings, "The preparations for the military rations are probably enough to last for about 20 days. I have already calculated the itinerary. If we march forward in a hurry, probably After thirteen days, they can enter the Mordegg Territory. After a day's rest, they will launch an attack on the fifteenth day. If we are forced to be dragged into the quagmire of war, then we will withdraw our troops on the eighteenth day, and after reuniting with the rear logistics and support troops, we will make a long-term plan."

Listening to Simi's rigorous calculations, Sean felt rather dumbfounded.

However, from this, he also heard the arrogance of the troops under Asuna's command. They actually planned to completely conquer the entire Mordegg Territory in five days. Sean couldn't tell this kind of tone. Although he knew that there was indeed no garrison in the Mordegg Territory, it was impossible for the other lords around to see Xiao En take down the territory easily, so they would definitely reinforce the Modeg Territory. Looking at it, as long as there are more than 5,000 troops, relying on Heishi Town as a support, a military stronghold can be temporarily set up. If you want to attack by force, it is absolutely impossible to win without paying some price.

Five thousand troops, for those lords around the Modeg Territory, can still be pulled together.

"No rush." ​​Although Xiao En felt that this was indeed Asuna's army and generals, he still refused, "We have to wait for another news, and only when the news is real can we launch a war." Annex Mordgorland completely."

...So the current battle situation, as long as it can be delayed, we will delay it for as long as possible. If we let the enemy know that Asuna-sama intends to send troops to reinforce me, the other party will definitely choose to compromise instead of fighting us head-on. "

Simi thought about it for a while, and understood Xiao En's concerns, so he nodded and said, "I understand. Then you want me to do this? Master Asuna has already ordered that I will follow through on the entire battle plan this time." Follow your plan."

"Since this is the case, Master Simi might as well go back to the territory together with me. We will also store supplies in secret for the time being. Don't disturb anyone. I'm afraid that we will let the other party know our plan by leaking the wind."

Simi was straightforward, and agreed directly: "Okay!"

ps: I still owe four chapters, sleep for a while first.
