When Aranza asked Aryan to enter the coordinates into the large magic portal, almost everyone was confused about the location the coordinates pointed to. This set of coordinates was familiar to most people present, and it was located on Kaiyi Island.
The city of Norland.
"Noland?!"
The first person to express doubts was Kim Gates, who asked in a thick voice: "Master, what are you doing by opening the portal there?"
His doubts were unreasonable. In the battle for Noland City, the Awakeners first drove the Noland army out of their house, without the inferior but familiar wine in the bar; then, the Awakeners withdrew, and Nolan
However, the German army still failed to drink from the bar, because the Alliance Legion of the Mercenary Guild took over the city of Noland again.
However, no matter what, the soldiers of the Norland Army could not drink at the bar at the corner of Norland City, because during the invasion of the Awakeners, a war magic machine that fell from the sky happened to hit the bar there.
It was in ruins, including, of course, the hoteliers and winemakers who took refuge in the store at the time.
War always causes this phenomenon. Before you know it, things that feel familiar to you suddenly disappear.
Aranza missed that bar too...in fact, he missed any place he had been with Jessie.
The nostalgia only made Aranza's thoughts pause for a moment. Then, there was a hint of joy or a strange angle on his lips, and he said: "Well, where do you think the deserters from the collapse of the Mercenary Guild Alliance will gather?"
This is a meaningless question.
A large number of stragglers who lost their leaders either fled individually or fled back to their headquarters. The headquarters of the Mercenary Guild Alliance in Kaizhou is naturally Noland City.
Moreover, this is still an unchangeable fact. Even if the mercenary guild alliance intends to change their gathering place, it will have to wait until the soldiers have gathered. Unless they plan to abandon the mercenary groups or knights of the alliance, but in this case, the mercenaries will
The reputation of the Military Association will be stained by this.
However, even so, why the coordinates of the large magic portal are set in Noland City is a question that makes everyone present even more confused.
The most direct function of the large magic portal is undoubtedly to transport troops. In addition to the sneak attack mentioned by Aranza before, before arriving at the large magic portal, everyone learned about the secret alliance between the Thorn Mercenary Group and the Dawn Guard from Caton who responded.
Relationship, should we mobilize the soldiers of Dawn Guard and transport them to Noland City to start a bloody battle?
In this way, the Sarah Falco State will be lost, and the cost will be too high. Moreover, the alliance between the Dawn Guard and the Thorn Mercenary Group will be exposed, and then Longstad will not be far away from being conquered by other compatriots in the Dawn Guard.
What's more, if that's the case, Aranza might as well take Carew or Hancock for a walk around the city of Noland.
The doubts would not last long, and Aranza quickly issued an order: "Well, Aryan, you send a henchman to the gap in the mountains quickly, and ask Ronstadt to retreat all the Dawn Guards, and let me get in
Come to Rios City... Then, hey, let the war magic machines of the Awakeners chase you, I don't mind giving them a ride."
This is a bold but extremely clever plan!
"But……"
Kim Gates' brain was obviously easier to use than the others. After thinking for a while, he asked: "In this case, wouldn't the awakened person be within the territory of Kaye State? That would not be of much benefit to us.
"
"Well, there is an old saying from the ancients, 'Don't overestimate your ability.' However, I think the second part should be, don't underestimate your power."
Aranza smiled and said: "No one knows why the Awakened One appeared in Norland City except us. The nobles in Rios City will be grateful because we saved the Awakened One for them, and then the old man
Shut up honestly... Even if they don't have this idea, after this incident, the Dawn Guard is still stationed in Sarah Falco State. They have to shut up. If that doesn't work, then let them die. The dead are not
Can talk."
At the end of his words, Aranza spoke loudly, so that the magicians from various noble families who were busy around the large magic portal could easily catch them. Then, Aranza continued: "Wait for the awakened person and the servant.
The Battle of the Soldier Guild Alliance is almost done, let’s go clean up the mess, I think the bard of Norland City will be happy to write a hymn for us.”
At this moment, everyone finally heard that Aranza wanted to clear the name of the Thorn Mercenary Group.
The disorganized and exhausted mercenary guild alliance cannot defeat the sudden appearance of the awakened ones, but the Norland Army, or the Thorn Mercenary Group can.
In the eyes of the world, the cruel and bloodthirsty awakened people are undoubtedly demons, but those who stand opposite the demons and slaughter them, no matter what their nature is, in the eyes of the world, they are angels.
What the Thorns Mercenary Group is actually doing is just to take advantage of the situation when both the Awakened Ones and the Mercenary Guild Alliance suffer losses, and to make some people who know the truth shut up.
This is Alanza's tactic. After he proposed this tactic, no one else had the right to deny it. They only had the obligation to perfect Alanza's tactic. So, that night, the nobles who were still chattering in the lord's palace of Rios City were arrested.
After being driven out, members from the Thorn Mercenary Group and core members from the Dawn Guard Crimson Knights held an intense tactical meeting here.
The extremely careful magic map was opened. After understanding the composition of the Dawn Guard, Kim Gates, as the most strategist among them all, used a special magic pen to draw outlines on the magic map, drawing a
This is a crucial decision, including the withdrawal arrangements of the Dawn Guard, from the order of the evacuation of each regiment to the evacuation route, every detail is considered.
Then, another key part was discussed emphatically, that is, how to lure the Awakened to attack Rios City. This is not a difficult problem. If you confront a large family of the human race and suddenly take over the position, it will make people
The opponent is wary, but the snow elves who make up the Awakeners are not. In the few confrontations, the tactical characteristics of the snow elves have been counted. Instead of strategies, they prefer to create more powerful war magic machines.
Defeat your opponent.
This is exactly what I wanted.
After that night, on the fifth day, Old Follett used a magic teleportation scroll and ordered teleporters to deliver the news that scattered troops from the Mercenary Guild Alliance had gathered in Norland City. Dozens of mercenaries of various sizes who formed the alliance
Corps, or had been promoted from a mercenary group to a knighthood, their captains all escaped from the battlefield with their own troops. Due to the alliance agreement signed at that time, the captains would not leave Kaye without permission.
After waiting for a few days to observe the changes in the state, most of them chose to return to Norland City, except for some small mercenary groups with no more than ten people who would rather give up their dignity to escape the fear caused by the massacre in Aranza.
And at dusk of that day, when Aranza once again saw the gloomy sunset in the city of Rios, outside the withered mountains, the first cavalryman holding the emblem of the Dawn Guard took the lead to cross the mountains and appeared in
In the distant view, a long and solemn dragon slowly walked towards the open gate of Rios City in the afterglow of dusk.
Aranza on the city wall remained silent. He took a deep breath and felt the blood flowing in his body.
No matter how many times, war can still make his blood boil.
At this moment, a slight voice appeared in his ears, as sweet as a clear stream, but it seemed a little unclear because he spoke for the first time.
"You...are...going to kill someone again."
It's a traveler.
But that's not it either.
It's Jessi Asolon.
But that's not it either.
Aranza turned around and faced a beautiful figure shrouded in a cloak. He didn't know how to explain her identity. She had the body of a traveler, but also had the origin of Jiexi's soul. She even had a little bit more
Among the original court gods, Neferax, the Lord of Light, left behind the weak divine power in this body. Of course, without a godhead, the magic she released would not contain divine power and would not be noticed by the living gods.
Aranza stood on the city wall, staring at her. Behind him were groups of knights coming over the mountains, their armors reflecting the golden edge in the light of the setting sun.
Aranza smiled and said, "Well, I killed almost two thousand people in Alice Fortress."
"Why?"
The voice asking the question was brief, but so soft that he couldn't refuse to answer.
"because……"
Aranza suddenly remembered the excuses she had used to comfort herself, but the words were stuck in her throat. Who can remain indifferent after killing with his own hands? Maybe a madman can, but Aranza is not. In fact, a few days before she could rest, Aranza
Will wake up from nightmares.
It was an incomprehensible but expected dream. His sword was flying, and the enemy's flesh and blood were flying. Then, suddenly, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of his sword, maybe it was Jie Xi,
Maybe Cyril, maybe someone else, but Aranza couldn't stop him. The sword slashed along with the strength of his arm while he screamed.
Aranza didn't know whether to be sad or happy about this. The sad thing was that he had a nightmare, but fortunately, in addition to constantly picking up the memory fragments left by his parents, he finally had his own dream. Although this dream Alan
Sanin didn't.
As for the excuse he used to comfort himself in the midst of the killing, Aranza suddenly forgot what he wanted to say, so he let his mouth open and spoke the words in his mind: "Because... if you kill too much, you will become numb."
The long dragon that reflected the afterglow finally stepped into the city gate, and the rumble of horse hooves made Aranza tremble under her feet.
"One day, will you also... kill us?"
Her voice was still so clear, even a little childish. But amid the sound of horse hooves, it was extremely clear.
Aranza's eyes suddenly became firm and she said, "Until I die, I will kill people for you."
The sound of the horses' hooves became louder and louder. Aranza didn't know if she heard what he said, but this was his answer.
