After Shuge looked away from the magic letter, Zeke Ernst said: "I can tell you clearly that most of the information here has been verified... these things did happen."

"Both the 2nd and 4th Artillery Regiments located in the rugged hilly terrain suffered very serious damage. According to the latest instructions, they have begun to retreat and prepare to replenish their troops."

The old man raised the wine glass slightly, and while sniffing the tempting smell of wine, he said: "Other regiments and the teams of our allies also suffered certain losses, but everything is still within the tolerance range.

within, so those predetermined plans will not be changed easily."

Xiuge accurately captured the key point of this sentence, so he frowned and asked: "Predetermined plan?"

"Um."

The old man turned slightly and released a finger from the palm holding the wine glass, pointing at a huge map hanging on the wall of the exhibition hall.

"The climate on the plains is different from ours. Their soil is more fertile and moist... Therefore, after winter comes and there is heavy snowfall, the roads and ground on the plains will begin to become muddy. In that case

, whether it is the mobilization of troops or the transportation of materials and weapons, it will be greatly affected."

Speaking of which, if Xiuge still doesn't understand what the other party means, he is simply pretending to be stupid.

So he asked: "You mean, we are going to attack?"

"Yes... we need to attack."

Xiuge was slightly startled.

It is dark white and does not have any logo on it, but it gives people an unpredictable and weird feeling.

At that moment, General Zeket, who shared Gu Jie's field of vision and was also observing the map behind him, suddenly said: "That's right, there are problems with small strategies... Although the Silver Corridor is very suitable for the army in the low plains

Marching upward, however, once you get out of the gap, you are destined to face pressure from several directions. Even if you can penetrate the defense line head-on, it will be very difficult to cut off the front line. By then, the part that has not left the Silver Corridor will be cut off.

Total isolation."

Gu Jie felt less constrained, so I pulled on the collar, took off the blood-stained windbreaker, and put it under the back of the chair.

Listening to Old Zeket's words, Gu Jie instinctively turned her head and looked at these new weapons placed in the exhibition hall that combined the characteristics of steam machinery and magic crystallization.

Seeing that Shuge didn't speak, Steele pushed the magic crystal under the wheelchair and drove the wheelchair to the huge desk at the outermost part of the study. I pressed my fingers to the corner of the desk, and as I touched

, fine magic lines spread out on the surface of the desk, and then, a hidden drawer that was obviously reinforced by magic rituals jumped out from the mezzanine of the desk.

Probably because of drinking, my face turned rosy. Before exhaling a sigh of relief, I said: "It's terrible. According to the latest agreement signed by all parties, the entire Bainha

Now it's all under the control of Merlin Lehe's mages... When this turbulent magic flow swept through Beinha, it broke the ceremony set by the Legal Committee, but very slowly, the people of the Legal Committee restored the ceremony.

, it is said that no one escaped from the city during this short interval."

….

So Xiuge walked towards the map.

"Yes, there are no guests coming yet."

Or something else...

Hearing that, Gu Jie was silent for two seconds.

"Is it a pure hidden danger, or a new opportunity...who can say for sure?"

"His father, I stretched my hand too long...just like a small number of nobles outside Bolden, they know how to stop and know how to measure."

So I asked: "However, magic power turbulence and disturbance are a certain factor for everyone, and people can always let it go."

Steele grinned: "But now, no one can tell what the situation is... Especially now, Merlin Lehe has no way to take the lead in that kind of problem, even a small family will send their own

Many scholars and teams will investigate later, but it is entirely possible to share the results of the research as we did in the past."

Shuge narrowed his eyes: "It's winter now, and Salem City will soon freeze over. Are we planning to retreat on a small scale when the river freezes? But it's also far away from Meilin Lehe, and the frozen ice

For the mages, there is no way to solve the problem. As long as the Legal Committee is willing to invest, we can delay the thaw of the river... In that case, the people of the Saint Isa River in the Salem City Basin are destined to have trouble.

There is no way to retreat first when the Delans have not set up a defense line and there is intervention by mages. Our pace should be slightly delayed. We will only make the next step based on the situation before the battle breaks out east of the White Nest Mountains.

action."

The cases mentioned by Gu Jiebi have not been heard of since my cultivation.

Hearing those words, the old man seemed to finally heave a sigh of relief. I pushed the velvet bag back hard and said, "Take it. Without that certificate, he can't mobilize to a certain extent, use the family's resources, and make connections in terms of connections."

It won’t be helpful either.”

As I spoke, I took out a large velvet bag from the drawer with my skinny hands and placed it under the table: "Child, tell you, what does he think of daytime associations?"

"Hmm...it's the wrong perspective, let's talk about it."

The gap is equally famous.

After hearing those words, Zeke Ernst thought about it for a while. It wasn't until there was no hot air blowing out of the room that I came back to my senses and asked: "Child, his kind of judgment...their...

What’s the basis?”

After hearing those words, Shuge couldn't help but sigh.

"His father is dead."

"So, even in that situation, the war will still have to be fought?"

"No more."

I shook the letter in my hand: "You think, everyone, including you, the Kingdom of Delan, the Legal Committee... everyone should know that this is an earthquake in common sense, but a kind of human being.

New disasters that are difficult to predict and respond to..."

That map is not just a decoration, it is actually an alchemical product of Walter Academy of Magic.

Before nightfall, the temperature in the house gradually dropped, but the huge mansion was filled with warmth as the magic ritual was being performed.

I found that I was instinctively using my past habits and perspectives to look at the map in front of me. Thinking of these new weapons that I had never seen before, I said with a too sure tone: "Unless...the speed of breakthrough

Slow enough? It can only penetrate the defense line head-on, but also expand the control area to the surroundings, weakly creating a stable protrusion in a short period of time... But is that possible?"

….

Among them, under two positions, the dark blue line symbolizing the defense line has not even been drawn.

"Yes, so next, those northerners will bear the main retreat pressure in the Salem City basin."

Steele swung his glass and motioned for Shuge to continue.

The old man and the young man reached a tacit understanding and cut off any non-military topics. At Steele's signal, Shuge pushed up the wheelchair and walked toward the study, accompanied by Ellen and other personal guards.

"You killed him."

Gu Jiebi interrupted Xiuge: "But the pace of war will not stop."

"The Saint Isa River Kingdom is having a very difficult time now. Merlinle and his control and monopoly on the crystal mines have not yet overwhelmed us. If things continue like this, the rule of the northern royal family will sooner or later be defeated by the forces inside, or else

were overthrown by our own people, so it is more important for us to take back the rights to the northern crystal mines from the Legal Committee. The land in the Salem City Basin and the frozen port in the north are equally astonishing to us.

We will stop."

"The Saint Isa River is your ally."

I said such a sentence out of nowhere, and there was not much emotion in the words. It sounded like the cold wind blowing back, which was very cold and cold.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a magic sandbox.

"That shouldn't be the source of the turbulent flow of magic power?"

My knowledge of Erwin Ernst is really unlimited, and the original owner of the body's emotions towards Erwin were more towards fear and heaven. In that case

When I suddenly heard that sentence, I didn't feel much emotion at all.

Gu Jie turned to look at the old man sitting in the wheelchair, and I said seriously: "In the next conversation, you once mentioned the daytime prophecy. In that case, would people think of that kind of thing?"

Are the abnormal phenomena related to the prophecy of the day?"

I even know what kind of expression I should "pretend" now: shocked? sad? sad?

But very slowly, Gu Jiebite reacted.

That curve in particular is called the "little step."

Xiuge's eyes moved downward along the dark curve of the "small ground steps", and he saw that there were no blue or purple signs in the middle of the curve, as well as far below.

"As for the Kingdom of Hain, the undersea disputes between us and the countries south of the Male God Plain have completely erupted. Colonies, shipping routes, and the transportation and sale of goods to the Eastern world. The profits brought by these things have made Merlinle and

They are all greedy, so the Hain Kingdom will also be willing to come in and out... We have started at Tianjian, the colony in the sea, maybe it will take a few days, and the news will come back."

Xiuge was really right, so I just kept a straight face and remained silent.

At Steele's signal, Ellen and others entered and exited the room and closed the door.

"It's not based on your personal experience or what you saw with your own eyes."

The window was open outside the study. Gu Jie wanted to go over and close the window, but Zeke stopped her. The old man didn't seem to have any quirks. I seemed to be enjoying the cold winter wind.

"Of course it's possible."

That poor city was planted with a striking crimson flag by Steele.

….

Under the "steps" that span nearly the entire small continent, there are several obvious gaps and passages. Among them, the southern gap closest to the Kingdom of Delan is close to the current garrison and joint "exercise" location of the lowland countries. This
