"Lord Senbo." After arranging the important military and political matters, Moriarty turned to the farthest vassal.
"Yes, sir." When he heard that he was called, the old lord stood up immediately.
To this day, he has thoroughly understood the power of Olympus. Even Sosk, with the Fire Sultan sitting in command, defeated it with half a legion. This kind of power is enough to make Lord Sembo loyal.
No two.
"When the material clearing work comes to an end, I will transfer some civilians from Rheinburg to come here. At that time, you will become the internal affairs officer here and jointly manage this important bridgehead with the commander of the Sosk garrison."
Old Lord, Moriarty has always been polite and said with a smile.
"Yes, sir, I will live up to your entrustment." Because the decision had been made before, when the formal appointment was issued, Lord Senbo accepted it calmly.
"Yes." Moriarty nodded with satisfaction, and the old lord sat back down.
"Everyone, the Battle of Sosk has been successfully completed. Not only did we obtain a resource-rich forward formation, but the road to Windsor, Yate and McLean was also completely opened. However, in the next phase of the larger-scale
Before the military operation, I plan to let the legion rest for one to two weeks." After looking around at everyone in the conference room for a week, Moriarty slowly said: "Firstly, it will take time to establish the Sosk garrison; secondly, the main force of the legion's infantry
I hope to expand the sword and shield brigade into a strengthened brigade or even a regiment; thirdly, the consumed strategic materials, such as arrows, bows and crossbows, must also be vigorously replenished."
"I agree, Your Excellency. Our next goal as Olympus is probably to have a strategic battle with the main force of the Demon Legion. Therefore, we must not suffer too much in terms of military strength, otherwise it will be detrimental to the progress of the war." Hearing from Mori.
After Artie's words, Clausewitz immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Furthermore, in view of the increasing territory we occupy, how to use limited troops to effectively and firmly rule requires careful study and preparation of plans."
"Yes, the staff officer's suggestion is in my opinion." Moriarty glanced at the old werewolf and smiled with satisfaction.
To be honest, it was precisely because of the presence of Clausewitz that Olympus was able to develop and grow in such an orderly and efficient manner. If Moriarty alone would do all the administrative work within many legions,
It takes up most of his time and energy. This is something that a mage and an alchemist cannot bear. However, Moriarty and Clausewitz attach great importance to the construction of the staff, because of the scarcity of talents.
, it is still blank after so many years. Otherwise, Olympus’s daily operations and battlefield performance would be much stronger.
"That's it. The legion's two-week rest plan has been decided. Each company, squadron, and group will do their best to accumulate combat power according to the requirements just mentioned and make all preparations for the subsequent war." Seeing that other officers had no different opinions.
, Moriarty finally gave the order.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Gustav and others immediately agreed solemnly.
As a result, in the next week, Sosk suddenly became an extremely busy construction site. A large number of laborers were airlifted by goblin airships day and night to participate in the construction of the new bridgehead defenses. And batch after batch came from
Precious materials such as kerosene, salt, steel ingots, etc. that were counted in the warehouse of the Chamber of Commerce in the town were continuously transported back to Rheinburg on the returning Dayun.
At the same time, Raymond, the former deputy captain of the Sword and Shield Infantry Brigade and a fourth-level human warrior, was designated by Moriarty as the commander of the Sosk Garrison Brigade. Although he has not yet reached the intermediate rank, he was the founder of Olympus.
The "old man" who joined the army from the beginning had experienced many hardships and had outstanding military achievements, and was deeply trusted by Moriarty, so this appointment was unanimously approved by the entire army.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the legion to rest, Moriarty took the time to return to Rheinburg, hoping to have another good conversation with White, who left in frustration. Unfortunately, White was unwilling to listen to any explanation at all, and only recognized one, demanding that the other party must
Kill his "demon pet". In this regard, Moriarty really felt helpless and had to pause his persuasion for fear of further irritating White and complicating the situation.
However, to Moriarty's surprise, Heyana, who had been reluctant to contact him, seemed to have heard about his "conflict" with White, and she took the initiative to come to him for the first time in a long time.
"Why can't you give up that vampire? For the sake of an undead, can you ignore your followers who have followed you through life and death?"
Sitting face to face with Moriarty, Heyana made her attitude clear and clear without any hesitation. Perhaps in her view, this "demon pet problem" seemed to be a replica of the previous "Mattier incident".
It was Moriarty's "evil behavior" that ignored the feelings of "the people around him" for various reasons of his own.
"That Blood Earl is just a knife in my hand now, and the knife itself has no sin, it only depends on the good and evil of the person holding the knife. With this knife, I can defeat the demon army faster and more thoroughly, and then regain Kent County
, to save thousands of innocent civilians. Therefore, I really can’t give up my demon pet just because of White’s personal likes and dislikes.” Looking at Heyana’s appearance, which had become much clearer, Moriarty spoke in as calm a tone as possible.
road.
"But because of the existence of that undead, White can't feel at ease, and doesn't it also weaken Olympus' strength?" Heyana shook her head, not fully agreeing with the other party's reasons.
"White's hatred of the undead is partly due to his many years of service in the Dawn Fortress, but there may also be other special reasons." Of course Moriarty knew that his fiancee was really worried that the relationship between himself and his followers might deteriorate.
Moriarty suddenly asked for an interview with him, and if he could not persuade Heyana, it would be even less possible to persuade White. Therefore, Moriarty had no objection to his fiancée's rebuttal and just continued to speak logically: "To be honest, there is something I haven't told you yet.
White, on the night we captured Sosk, we also had a battle with two high-level undead who sneaked into the hinterland of the kingdom to hunt down Claudia. As a result, we killed an eleventh-level undead priest of the Holy Spirit Temple.
, and at the same time expelled an extremely powerful twelve-level coffin knight. For this reason, the War Iron Fist Company suffered heavy losses, and Guderian was almost killed."
"Is there such a thing?" Obviously, Heyna, who was at the rear, did not know about this silent battle that took place late at night. Of course, this was also because Moriarty did not want to make the matter of the blood demon pet a problem, so he deliberately concealed it.
for the sake of.
"Yes. So from this point of view, Claudia is actually half a wanted criminal of Dega. And the enemy of the enemy should be a friend, and should not be simply destroyed."
"Then why didn't you tell White about this?" After a moment of silence, Heyana asked again.
“…”
"Why?" The fiancée looked at Moriarty steadily.
"Firstly, now White can no longer listen to any explanation, and only looks at the final result. Secondly..."
"What's the second thing?" Seeing Moriarty's hesitant expression, Heyna instinctively sensed that this incident was not as "simple and pure" as it seemed.
"Secondly, I'm worried that White has some connection with 'another organization' from the outside world, so I don't dare to say anything, and I can't say it too 'directly'." Looking at his fiancée, Moriarty hesitated for a moment, and finally said
The biggest worry in my heart.
"What!? You actually doubted White's loyalty!?" As if she was frightened, Heyana's face turned pale with shock, and then quickly turned red: "Do you know that as your follower White has already done what he has done?"
He can do everything, and even lost his right arm and had to change his profession from a divine crossbowman to an extremely dangerous close combat warrior. But now you suspect that he is a spy of other forces!?"
"I know, of course I know it. If it weren't for White, I would be a withered skeleton in the ravine, or simply rotting into mud." Moriarty shook his head, the heaviness in his eyes like thousands of feet of clouds, about to fall.
.
"Then why..."
"Because there are some things that even White himself may not be able to do anything about. Compared to loyalty, there are other more powerful forces in this world that can reverse or even turn away from it." Moriarty raised his head and sighed softly.
"What is it?"
"Love, or faith."
"Love and faith?" Moriarty's words made Heyena freeze for a moment, as if she couldn't accept it.
"Do you know that my attack on Sosk this time was actually entrusted by the Doro Chamber of Commerce. The Blood Earl was originally sealed in Sosk Town by them, but was transferred to me as part of the reward.
"Looking at his fiancée, Moriarty decided to confess everything.
"Doro Chamber of Commerce? How is that possible?"
Hearing this secret again, Haiyana felt as if she had heard a fantasy. According to the strength of the Blood Earl, even if the Doro Chamber of Commerce went bankrupt, they probably wouldn't be able to hire enough strong men to deal with it, let alone capture him alive.
"This is indeed the case. And the reason why the Doro Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay a huge price to enter Sosk as soon as possible is for a divine weapon."
"Sacred weapon?" Finally, Haina was stunned.
"Yes, the Holy Grail! It was once an artifact of the Church of Light, the supreme baptismal weapon given to mortal believers by the God of Light, the Holy Grail! And it is precisely because of the Holy Grail and an unknown high-level priest of the Light, Claudia.
Only then will they be caught by the other party." Moriarty finally said.
"You mean, the Church of Light reappeared after disappearing for hundreds of years? And this time the Battle of Sosk was actually the result of their leadership?" After a long silence, Haiyana said calmly. A powerful person
The "resurrection" of the Church of God is not only a matter for one city or one country, but will also have a profound impact on the entire continent.
"I'm afraid so. If any church wants to establish and develop, three things are indispensable. Gods, priests, and believers. And now, artifacts can represent gods, and priests can also appear in the world. As for believers..."
"You mean... White... is a believer in the Church of Light!?" At this point, Heyna finally understood what Moriarty meant, and was so shocked that she could no longer speak. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, Novels. Better updates and faster!
