Chapter 313 extreme situation, night into the church
"What is it?" Moriarty turned around and looked at Clausewitz...
"Your Excellency, is there a possibility that when we sent our legion to the foot of Windsor Castle to start a decisive battle with the Demon Heavy Regiment, Salk did not send troops to fight together in accordance with the alliance agreement, and just sat back and watched us and the Demon consume each other?
Then Olympus will fall into great passivity, and may even be completely annihilated." The old werewolf looked at Moriarty and said word by word.
"Well, the possibility you mentioned does exist." Moriarty was stunned for a moment, then nodded appreciatively.
It is said that only by thinking about defeat first and thinking about victory later can you be invincible. Therefore, even if the possibility of this extreme idea proposed by the staff officer is very low, Moriarty will not regard it as a delusion, but rather appreciate it.
Especially on the chessboard of Kent County and even the Kingdom of Erathia in front of us, the situation of nobility, politics, war, territory, and various forces is complicated, and anything can happen. Therefore, Clausewitz's filling in the gaps seems very strange.
suitable.
"What about your suggestion, staff officer?" Moriarty thought for a moment and asked.
"The best option is for Salk to send enough protons to 'mortgage' us to ensure that the other party will definitely send troops to attack the demons." As soon as the old wolf said this, Moriarty understood who he was referring to. Nothing.
Doubtful, the so-called protons of sufficient weight are only qualified by Salk Pearl Mathil.
"I'm afraid it's difficult." After a moment of silence, Moriarty shook his head: "First of all, Windsor Castle is now tightly sealed by demons, and there are even Yakuza in charge. Unless there are high-level assassins or thieves like Claudia
, otherwise it would be almost impossible for Mathil, who is just an ordinary person, to break through; secondly, it is impossible for Viscount Salk to accept such a plan and put his beloved daughter innocently in danger."
Of course, there is another point that Moriarty has not said, that is, although he is confident enough to protect Mathile's safety, the key is that Heyna is now in Sosk, and he cannot let the two women meet directly like this.
"If 'Proton' cannot be achieved, then I'm afraid we must make plans for the worst case scenario to ensure that the main force or essence of Olympus can safely withdraw from the battlefield even under extreme conditions. Or, we can directly choose
Withdraw to Rheinburg and wait for the Demon Heavy Regiment to reveal its actual intentions before responding." The old werewolf thought about it for a while and said seriously.
"The plan to retreat from Rheinburg is too negative. Not only will the newly fortified Sosk be abandoned, but it will also give the devil every opportunity to defeat it." Moriarty shook his head: "To be cautious, you should immediately start formulating a backup plan. But.
At the same time, I, Olympus, will join forces with the Salk Division, and our will to actively attack the demon army remains unchanged." Moriarty finally made the decision. About half an hour later, Claudia brought a personal letter from Moriarty and
The sword that came with him quietly disappeared into the night.
The straight-line distance from Sosk to Windsor Castle is about 80 kilometers. And with the agility and concealment power of the tenth-level shadow assassin, even though he encountered multiple demonic defense circles on the way, he arrived at his destination before midnight.
However, when the Blood Count actually came to a place only a few kilometers away from Rheinburg, she suddenly slowed down and became extremely cautious. This place was already the sphere of influence of the New Demon Heavy Equipment Group, even if Claudia tried her best to
They surrounded it from the outside, but they were still extremely cautious. After all, they were not far away. Two-digit high-ranking demons and a great demon Yakuza were eyeing him. No matter how confident the Blood Earl was, he was not willing to find someone in this situation.
Stimulate.
Fortunately, the night gave Claudia the best disguise. The shadow assassin seemed to have turned into an invisible shadow, floating silently in front of piles of demon warriors, and even followed the light and dark of the falling moonlight in the sky.
It adjusts itself accordingly to coordinate with the surrounding light and shadow.
About half an hour later, Claudia finally arrived at the gates of Windsor.
On the top of the city, the fire was still bright. In order to defend against possible raids by the increasingly terrifying demon swarm outside the castle, more human warriors had to guard the city all night long and patrol continuously.
She did not choose to go directly to the city. Out of the professional habits of an assassin, Claudia first patiently walked around the castle to observe the terrain, defense conditions and possible retreats. Sure enough, Windsor Castle is indeed a powerful fortress for human nobles, even with the blood Earl's strength.
Her eyes did not see any obvious weak links or flaws. On the contrary, Claudia felt vaguely that there was something obscure and deep in the city, which made her instinctively uneasy and even resisted the aura coming out.
"What on earth is that?" Claudia considered it carefully for a long time, but in the end she had no clue.
It was not good to stay outside for too long. After all, she still needed the night cover to evacuate Windsor Castle safely, so she found a relatively remote corner, silently climbed over the towering city wall, and entered the castle. While patrolling the top of the city
The guarding soldiers only felt that the light of the torch in front of them dimmed slightly, and then returned to normal. They just thought it was a gust of night wind blowing by.
Immediately getting off the city wall, Claudia walked straight towards the inner castle.
Unlike the fortified defenses at the top of the city, there was silence inside Windsor Castle. Occasionally, a few children's cries could be heard, adding a bit of popularity to the tranquility, but it was even more incompatible with the chill outside the city. Only further away
The barracks was still bustling with traffic, and it seemed that people were awake all night.
A moment later, Claudia arrived in front of the inner castle. In order to avoid contact with other unrelated humans, the Blood Earl planned to sneak in quietly and interview the human viscount directly. However, when one of her little hands touched the Windsor inner castle
Suddenly, a dim but sharp gun shadow suddenly appeared from the void and stabbed the Blood Earl's left palm.
Claudia didn't dare to resist at all. In an instant, she saw something inside the gun shadow. Claudia was frightened to death. She quickly moved her body to extreme speed and evaded backwards. However, even with the agility of the tenth-level shadow assassin,
, even if he used many powerful professional skills such as "invisibility", "simulacra", "color change", "phantom body", etc., he still couldn't get away from the gun blade that seemed to be able to pierce the space.
It only took a few seconds, but to Claudia, it seemed like years of suffering. Finally, unable to recall it in one breath, the Blood Earl's movement inevitably dropped a beat, and the illusory spear was about to hit the center of her forehead.
In front of the faint shadow of a gun, Claudia couldn't even transform into a bat, and was almost waiting to die.
"I am Moriarty's familiar!"
At the last moment, Claudia could only give up the greatest dignity of the assassin and take the initiative to reveal her identity. In a panic, she even directly identified herself as someone's magic pet, just hoping that the desperate gun shadow could be relieved for a while.
.
Sure enough, when the Blood Earl's cry, which sounded extremely childish and tender but trembling, broke through the quiet night, the virtual gun that was almost about to hit the target disappeared. Claudia's face was red and she was sweating.
But he still stood there blankly, looking at the silent night in front of him as if nothing had happened, his blood core shaking wildly.
"When did that kid Mortina take in a 'vampire bat' as a demon pet again? Well, he's still an 'Earl', haha, he's quite arrogant."
Just when Claudia was still in shock, a tall man wearing a suit of old and new armor slowly walked out of the shadows next to the inner castle. He looked at the dumbfounded Blood Earl and smiled amusedly.
But it also suppressed the murderous intention just now.
"Temple!?"
Seeing the man, Claudia couldn't help but let out a low cry. The almost unstoppable shadow of the gun just now made her vaguely guess the terrifying nature of the man. Now facing him directly, the Blood Earl, no matter how slow he was, immediately recognized the middle-aged man in front of him.
The knight is actually a human being!
"You said you are Moti's man, what proof do you have?"
The former Knight of the Round Table, but after a life-and-death battle with the great demon "Camundo Trivos", Charlie finally transformed and advanced to the level of the Yakuza. At this moment, he has restrained all his former sharpness and only looks like an ordinary veteran.
Ordinary.
"This is his handwritten letter, which needs to be presented to Viscount Salk, and his sword as a token." Without any hesitation, Claudia immediately took out the two items carefully.
"Oh? It seems like something big happened. What actions has Olympus made recently?" Charlie asked again without going to receive the letter and sword, but just glanced at it casually.
"We have just occupied the town of Sosk and used it as a bridgehead. We plan to join forces with you in the near future to attack the demon army outside Windsor Castle." The Blood Earl did not dare to hide it and said honestly.
"Ha, you are not slow! Taking Sosk means you have mastered the county's transportation hub. No wonder the demons outside the castle have gathered in large numbers in the past two days, and even big demons have arrived. I originally thought we were going to attack Windsor.
Now it seems that the castle is headed for you." Charlie laughed, not knowing whether he was happy to recover Sosk or excited about the upcoming battle: "Okay, come with me, Lord Viscount
I'm probably not asleep yet, so I can see you immediately."
After saying that, the church turned around and walked first towards the gate of the inner castle on the left, and Claudia had to follow carefully. And when she saw a strange little girl following Charlie into the only open door of the inner castle,
The soldiers guarding the small door were all surprised and curious, but they did not say anything. After all, as a senior Viscount's elite guard, many rules were strictly observed.
The lights in the inner castle were half-lit, and some nobles were still having a meeting in a hall, seeming to be worried about the increasing enemy situation outside the city.
After passing through the cloister, Charlie stopped in front of a study and said to the second-level housekeeper guarding the door: "Please inform the Viscount that a messenger from Rheinburg has arrived."
"Yes, Master Charlie!"
The housekeeper hurriedly agreed, without even asking why the dignified envoy from Rheinburg turned out to be just a young-toothed girl who looked to be no more than ten years old, and gently knocked on the study door.)
