As rumored, Duke Metamoya is not tall, and can even be said to be short, especially for the werewolves who are generally strong and strong. But even this inconspicuous short middle-aged werewolf has mastery of
He owns "Wolfgang", Krorod's powerful military force, and at the same time he has reached the pinnacle of the twelfth level of the warrior profession, which can be said to be a half-step to the extreme. There are even rumors that this grand duke actually has the strength to break through the shackles.
He has accomplished the great feat of becoming the great knight of Behemoth Town, but for some reason he has been holding back and just wasting his time in front of the door.
As if aware of the strange gaze cast on him, the werewolf Grand Duke slowly turned around and smiled at Moriarty, who was striding towards him.
"Dear Duke Medamoah, I am honored to be summoned by you." According to etiquette, Moriarty first paid a deep tribute to the top powerful man in the United Kingdom of Crulod.
"Welcome, young man who has come from afar, your name has already resounded throughout the Antagrich continent. I am very happy to host a hero who has killed the great devil in Belis!" Midamoah
His voice was deep, like an echo from a deep well, but it had a certain unspeakable charm and had the power to convince people.
"Being able to defeat the demon Yakuza should be attributed to my followers and many heroic subordinates. In addition, our country's Knights of the Round Table, 'Spear of the Morning', had severely damaged the great demon before, so his nobility should not be concealed.
War merits." Moriarty looked at the werewolf Grand Duke and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Well, frankness and humility are sharp swords that break through the fog. They allow people to see the road ahead clearly." The Werewolf Grand Duke nodded, and then smiled again: "Let's go, let's walk along Lake Burris together.
Now is the season when the lake is at its most beautiful.”
After saying that, Metamoah turned around and continued his stroll, while Margaret at the side consciously took a few steps away, leaving space for the protagonist Moriarty.
"How is the anti-demon war in Erathia going? Although the demon army has not yet crossed the hurricane wasteland, I am worried that once the war situation changes, Krolod will also be attacked by demons."
Half a step ahead of the visitor, the Werewolf Grand Duke asked first. Although he also had his own intelligence system, no one participating in the war had a deeper understanding of the war situation. So Medamoah first wanted to carefully understand the latest war situation in neighboring countries.
"The situation is not optimistic. However, the overall war situation has reached a stage of strategic stalemate." Moriarty carefully considered the language and said slowly: "Because the space gap appeared very suddenly, the countries on the Pancontinent actually did not expect to encounter unusual situations.
The invasion of the plane demon army has not made corresponding war preparations. So as far as I know, including Erathia, Brakada, Dejia and Avili, all continental countries that directly border the space rift
Both suffered heavy losses in the early stages of the war. Both military and civilian casualties were very serious. As for Erathia specifically, the current main battlefields are located in the eastern and southeastern regions, which are the hardest hit areas for demons. Several counties have
Contact with the outside world has been lost, and the situation must be extremely critical. In the direction of Fort Fort, it is heavily surrounded by a huge demon army and an unknown number of demons. The fighting is still fierce today. However, in the central and western part of Erathia
In the northern region, the demonic force is relatively weak, and the royal family and nobles have a certain advantage in military strength. It is said that they have begun to gradually counterattack. However, considering the powerful forces of the invading demons, it will take a considerable amount of time to transform from a local counterattack to a full-scale counterattack.
.”
"Well, you are right. Faced with an army of demons whose natural purpose is to kill races, it is obviously unrealistic to drive them out at once." After hearing what the other party said, the werewolf Grand Duke was silent for a moment and nodded: "
I heard that you returned to aid Erathia as a volunteer from Bracada, and that you have recaptured Rhineburg, which was once occupied by demons?"
"Yes, after these months of fierce fighting, we have completely stabilized the situation around Rheinburg, and even defeated the demon army that besieged the city."
"Haha, it's a very good situation. It seems that the local counterattack in Kent County is about to start from you." Duke Medamoah glanced at the other party with admiration. He was able to return from a thousand miles and recapture the heavy fortress in one battle, and then led his troops.
Fighting hard and killing a demon Yakuza, if this kind of military exploits were placed in Krolod, he would be able to enter the Senate and be crowned with a title.
"Although Cruelod and Erathia are feuding, they are 'comrades' with the same interests in fighting the demonic invasion. Young man, you came to see me, do you want to get my help?
". Without going around any further, the Werewolf Grand Duke asked directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke." Seeing that the other party was so cheerful, Moriarty said bluntly: "As you said, after consolidating the defense system of Rheinburg, my next goal is to start clearing out those scattered teams in the wild.
Demons, accumulate small victories into big victories. After a certain level, they will gather their forces and join forces with several other noble leaders in our county to launch a decisive battle with the demon army, and regain the entire territory of Kent County in one fell swoop."
"Well, it's a very solid strategic idea." The Duke nodded.
"So, under the current combat situation, I need a fast force that is highly mobile, can attack and penetrate over long distances, and has a certain ability to attack difficult situations..."
"So, you want to hire a group of wolf cavalry to Wolfgang again?" Before Moriarty could finish speaking, the werewolf Grand Duke had already given the "answer".
"Yes, that's exactly it." Moriarty smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to Margaret and Clausewitz aside: "In fact, it was precisely because of Wolfgang's previous 'support'
, with the help of the Wolf Riding Company led by Mary and Old Crow, my 'Olympus' was able to survive the Civil War in Bracada, and won victory after victory in the subsequent battles back home.
"
"I am very happy that a powerful noble of Erathia and a strong warrior of Brakada can make such a high evaluation of my Wolfgang warriors. You know, as the 'Master of the Civilized World',
Most of your compatriots and colleagues regard us as unbearable beasts." Seeing the other party praising the Wolf Riders so highly, Medamoah smiled at first, but his words were not "plain".
"This should be just the uninhibited remarks of some narrow-minded people, and there is no logic at all. In my opinion, the civilized world usually has two major standards, one is the glorious history, and the other is the current wisdom. So, from this perspective
, there is no difference between Krolod and Erathia or Bracada. They are all mature civilization systems with their own unique charm." Speaking of this, Moriarty seemed to pause deliberately, and then said: "And, it's expensive.
The shamans of China can be said to be the spreaders of the fire of Pan-continental civilization, and no race can deny this. Therefore, slandering the noble forerunners who have received enlightenment from them will only bring shame to themselves."
"Haha, your argument is very novel. This is the first time I have heard someone look at the continental civilization system this way." Looking at the young man in front of him, the Duke suddenly laughed: "It seems that the land of mages cannot help but have a prosperous magic civilization.
The philosophical system is also very profound, which makes me want to pursue it very much."
"No, Dad, other mages can't say such philosophical words. All the mages I've seen only care about studying magic subjects and don't care about anything else." At this time, Margaret, who was a little behind, interjected.
.
"Really? Well, my little daughter has indeed 'grown up'." He glanced at the female werewolf, then glanced at Moriarty on the other side as if unintentionally, the werewolf Grand Duke smiled.
"Dad!" The clever Margaret immediately understood the rich meaning in her father's eyes and screamed.
"Your Majesty the Duke, as I just said, I hope to hire Wolfgang again to strengthen the squadron of wolf cavalry to supplement the offensive strength of my unit. Of course, in accordance with the 'business rules', I will pay the corresponding commission." I don't want to see someone.
With the embarrassment brewing, Moriarty immediately interrupted.
"I have already said that fighting against the demon invasion is not only Erathia's military affairs, but also the responsibility of all countries in the Pancontinent. Therefore, I agree to your request and will send another wolf cavalry to join your command. In this way, more
If you join the previous 'strong company', you will have a large group of assault cavalry, which is enough to complete the first phase of your clearing mission."
"Thank you very much for your help, Lord Duke..."
Hearing that Metamoah had so readily agreed to the request for reinforcements, Moriarty immediately beamed with joy and was about to salute the Werewolf Grand Duke, but was stopped by the other party's hand.
"However, while I support you, I also have conditions." The Duke said with a half-smile.
"Please speak, my lord."
Sure enough, things are not that simple. It seems that any powerful person with his own goals will not "work for free" for others, even in the name of resisting demons.
"First of all, I hope to order a batch of alchemy potions from your alchemy studio, including treatment, brute force, endurance, and detoxification. The quantity is about one alliance base."
"A coalition base?"
Hearing this, Moriarty couldn't help but frowned. If what the other party said was true, the total number of potions needed would be no less than 500, which is equivalent to Moriarty sweeping up goods from Azurite City before returning home.
The total number is over 10,000. Even if it is calculated based on Bracada gold coins, which have the highest gold content, their value exceeds tens of thousands.
"Of course, I will not ask you to deliver the goods immediately, as long as the transaction is completed gradually within the next year."
It seems that the Duke immediately relaxed the deadline not to embarrass the other party. If this is the case, with the help of the increasingly experienced alchemy apprentices in the Earth Studio, there will not be too much pressure on Moriarty. But this werewolf
What exactly does the Grand Duke want to do? A team's base of alchemy potions can support a high-intensity local battle, and the potions can only remain valid for about a year at most due to their own reasons, and their effectiveness will continue to decrease after expiration.
Judging from this, the Duke opposite is really preparing to do something "big". (To be continued...)
