In the next few days, even though no one came to listen to the sermon, Metien still went to Tianxin Church every day. Sometimes, she was with Leticia and Xiemi, and with Saint Charlie, she talked about what games she wanted to play today, completely forgot that she had not completed her homework; and sometimes she forced Alice out of the room, ignoring her murmuring complaints, and demanding genius players to teach them more advanced game skills.

But no matter what she was doing in the church, she knelt in front of the statue of the goddess and prayed for the soldiers in the distance; she sat on the bench with her heavy head, scratching her head at the obscure medical theories inside; even when she played games with Leticia, Xiemi, and Alice, she would occasionally raise her head, look at her from a distance through the stained glass windows of the church, as if she was looking forward to the next moment, those people would appear before herself safely, and no one would be there.

In contrast, although the others on Yunjingkong Island were also paying attention to this action, they were not as nervous as Mettyn. This may be because most people had long been aware of the cruelty of the war. Even if they were naive in the past, they should have awakened when they watched the silver-haired girl turn into the sky and dissipate, such as Alice.

Only this pink-haired girl, even though she has experienced so many things, still retains her innocent and kind nature. Is this a good thing for her? Linger is not sure yet, he only knows that he may be a little relieved.

For this operation, the Ashes guerrillas invested all the personnel that can be used at present. Even the young miche and the gang of young soldiers had to set foot on the battlefield. Only a few seriously injured people who were too serious and had not yet recovered were left behind. Battle reports were heard from the front line every day, and these battle reports would eventually fall into the hands of Ringer. This may be the move made by the Grey Hill Eagle to appease their allies, but it also gave Ringer a channel to learn about the battle situation on the front line in a timely manner.

Every time she gets a new battle report, Ringer will bring Saint Charia, Ovela and Shino to analyze it. These candidates are also meaningful. Saint Charia doesn't have to say anything. Ovela has to update information in time or supplement intelligence based on the situation on the front-line battlefield. As a descendant of the White Knight, Shino has never really set foot on the battlefield, but her family background has allowed her to accumulate profound military theories since she was a child. She is the only one among the people who can understand the battle report. In fact, there is also a similar candidate, the Earl Nevier. Although she has not learned any systematic military theories, she has richer practical experience. She is still the biggest contributor to assist Saint King Neo to conquer the Taguao wilderness and establish the Metoxu Empire. She seems to have a more say in this field.

But when Linger invited the countess, the latter learned that he had also invited three other girls, and his eyes suddenly became meaningful. She sipped a sip of black tea and slowly said that the situation on your side is quite complicated. It is not convenient for me, an elderly person, to let me drink afternoon tea quietly. At the end, I did not forget to remind Linger, remember to call Lorena, Iyetta, Gloria (or Bai Ye) as well, so that you can save you a lot of trouble. As for Leticia, you won’t have to worry about it, I will discipline her.

Linger was a little confused about what the Countess said to the Countess, but she didn't understand that it was just a discussion of the situation. What was inconvenient? As for the candidates recommended by the Countess, he shook his head repeatedly. Rolena only knew alchemy, Yiyeta did not know military, Gloria was lacking in intelligence, Bai Ye was pretty good, but she was withdrawn. Can you really save trouble if you invited them here? I think it was just causing more trouble! As for Leticia, I don't need to say that I wouldn't invite her, a little brat, just play with Metien.

After hearing Linger's reply, the countess' eyes suddenly became particularly complicated when he looked at the young man, with both sympathy and dissatisfaction, and even a bit of regret. Finally, she politely invited Linger out of the room, and at the same time quietly hinted that if someone was chased in the future, she could escape to me and might save your life.

Linger was confused and was chased by someone? It seemed that he had only been chased by the Witch Association, right? But the Witch Association wanted to chase me, and you, a countess, couldn't stop him.

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, and finally I could only attribute it to the episode of dementia unique to the elderly.

I didn't expect that there would be such a time in the Countess Hero I.

With a complicated mood, the young man left.

Ahem, back to the topic, the battle report sent by the Eagle of Gray Hill back to the rear showed that the operation was progressing smoothly. The troops of the Ashes Guerrillas cut off the connection between the Hailar Mountain Road and the four northern towns without any obstacles. They are currently eliminating the three strongholds stationed by the 17th Legion on the Hailar Road.

Considering that the Gray Hill Eagle is not the kind of person who is very happy and does not report good news, Linge felt that these war reports were still credible, so he comforted Mettyn ​​and made her feel a little relaxed, and it might end soon.

Although the young people know in their hearts that this is not the end, it is just the beginning.

...

Three days later, good news came.

The raids jointly launched by the ashes guerrillas and other resistance organizations in Anthers area achieved brilliant results. The resisters not only conquered and destroyed the strongholds of the 17th Legion stationed on the Hailar Mountain Road, but also once attacked the town of Aimang among the four northern towns, destroyed the dock facilities used to moor magic airships, and seized a large amount of supplies. However, as reinforcements from the other three towns arrived in time, the resisters had to retreat temporarily, and the war ended in a hurry.

These news were not reported to Linger through war, but were told by Miss Regina, the second person of the Ashes, who was responsible for preparing materials and stabilizing people's hearts in the organization. It happened that everyone was staying in the hotel at that time and learned the amazing news together.

"In fact, we don't plan to carry out the war to this point."

Regarding his allies who have always fully supported us, Regina admitted: "The significance of this action is to test the reaction of the 17th Legion to the joint action of us resistance organizations. Although we united, we are still too weak. We need an enemy to relax our vigilance to take advantage of the opportunity. And we cannot even take the initiative to fight for this opportunity. We can only wait silently, and at most like this action, stimulate it without any pain. Being able to destroy the stronghold of the 17th Legion in Hailar Mountain Road is the best result, and it is also what we can grasp, and it is the least easy to stimulate the enemy's scale. But the Ashes Hand and the Forest Rangers are not satisfied with this result. They make a good decision and attack the town of Emman. Although they have indeed expanded the results, they have not actually achieved much effect."

Speaking of this, she, who has always been cheerful, looked a little gloomy.

Hand of Ashes and Forest Rangers are a relatively radical group of resistance organizations in the Anthers area. Before the war, they did not trust the ability of the Gray Hill Eagle and had doubts about this plan. This is understandable. Carson Borg made a compromise and arranged for them to be responsible for the safest harassment operation, but when the war was getting better, they acted without authorization, inciting members of the other two resistance organizations to launch an offensive against the town of Emman, completely disrupting the original plan.

On the surface, the results they achieved were far more brilliant than those of the ashes guerrillas, but in fact? With the mobilization ability of the invaders, the damaged dock could be repaired soon. Even if it could not, the other three towns could still serve as a transit station; the seized materials were not taken away due to the timely arrival of the enemy reinforcements; in the end, they ignored the fact that the town of Aimang was not a complete military facility, and there were civilians living in the town. The frontal attack inevitably led to casualties of innocent people, which made the newly established alliance lose some of the people's hearts before it was consolidated. You must know that the biggest reason why these resistance organizations were able to survive in the cracks was that they had received the support of the people?

As a simplest example, do farmers or hunters living near the Black Forest really don’t know that the Ashes guerrillas are hiding here? Didn’t they really find any trace? This is naturally impossible. Their familiarity with this land is no less than the adventurers who have made their early years. The reason why they do not report to the invaders is nothing more than that of the liberation cause of their hometown with a simple sense of family and country. Will the unscheming actions of the Ashes and the forest rangers make them worried or even feel uneasy?

More importantly, the fact that the resistance army invaded Emman Town completely changed the nature of the battle. It was originally just a tentative action, but it seemed to have become a signal of war. In this way, even if the 17th Legion had already relaxed its vigilance, it should be re-aware at this time, right? In other words, although the battle was won, it seemed to have failed strategically.

The above is Sino's analysis. Although she looks at the problem from an outsider's perspective, it is more comprehensive. In some places, even Regina didn't expect it. But because of this, she became even more angry: "What a group of reckless guys! I probably shouldn't have-"

Her voice came to an abrupt end, perhaps because she realized that Carson Borg had no choice.

Hand of Ashes and Rangers of the Forest are two of the largest and stronger resistance organizations in the Anthers area. Since they want to unite all the objects that can be united, it is naturally impossible to ignore them.

"If," Linger thought, "they weren't reckless, but thought about it?"

This sentence suddenly attracted everyone's attention. Seeing Regina's expression "How is this possible", the young man smiled and explained: "Ash Hand and Forest Rangers are both the most radical factions in the resistance organization? In other words, they are also the faction that most hopes to go to war with the 17th Legion head-on? In this case, the small actions they deliberately made seem to be understandable."

"But how could their strength be able to confront the 17th Legion?"

Regina was still puzzled. If the Hand of Ashes or the Forest Ranger had this ability, what would have been done long ago?

"They may not have this strength alone, but isn't they already having an alliance? The power to unite is exactly what they lack but need. The only problem is that the advocates of this alliance are still too conservative at present and do not meet their needs. For this reason, they need some practical results to demonstrate their strength and at the same time, compete for the dominance of the alliance..."

Without making clear the words, everyone already understood what the young man meant. Xino raised his brow: "It's really a killing two birds with one stone."

Bang!

"This is too despicable!"

Regina slammed the table in anger. The loud noise scared everyone. Xie Mi, who was leaning against the window frame, was shocked and almost fell off the windowsill: "What! What happened? Did the witches attack Yunjing Kong Island? Let Leticia go first!"

Except for a little bat showing contemptuous eyes, everyone else raised their heads and stared at Regina in unison. It’s not that they have any opinions about her. In fact, from her standpoint, this reaction is the most normal. But at this time, there seems to be no other better way to deal with it except looking at her? You can’t remind her that this table is made of fairy wood from the past, it’s very expensive, right?

"Ah." Regina realized how rude her actions were. She blushed and she hurriedly withdrew her hands: "Hug, sorry, I didn't mean it, but that, uh, didn't control her emotions..."

"Miss Regina is really a person of temperament." Linger thoughtfully found her a step. The bartender who was standing behind the bar also came over at some point and put a glass of wine in front of Regina. The dark liquid like molten, and bubbles were rumbling, which looked extremely suspicious. She pretended to be deep and said, "The angry expression is not suitable for a beautiful lady like you. Why not come and taste the latest proud work I developed, the inspiration I got from the black forest of the gray hills - this cup of Ashes Night."

"Ash...what?" Regina hesitated.

"Don't worry." Xie Liya said considerately: "This is just a glass of water. Drinking it can effectively relieve your mood. Alas, I don't expect anyone to get angry the most, especially a beautiful lady like you, which makes me feel more distressed than Ovela's insomnia."

Nonsense! Whose water in this color will still bubble?

Also, what's going on with this playboy-like tone? Are you all travelers and leprechauns like this?

Regina couldn't speak at once, and Xie Liya gave a proud look at the young man sitting opposite, probably saying: Give up, you can't beat me in terms of love words, Linger.
