At dusk, Makarov, who received the order to retreat again, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He had to go to Mosk to ask about the situation.
For half a month, the Southwest Front Army led by Makarov has been retreating continuously. The order it receives is always to retreat, retreat, and retreat again!
It's like I'm racing against someone!
Warsaw, Minsk, Pskov, Estonia...important cities have been abandoned one after another. The Southwest Front has retreated to Kaluga, and beyond that is Mosk!
Makarov originally thought that Kaluga was the last line of defense, and he would fight the enemy desperately no matter what, but the retreat order came again!
Katerina actually asked them to retreat to Mosk, or even behind Mosk, to protect the industrial zone!
How can there be such a fight?!
Is it possible that even Mosk has to give up and withdraw all the way to Tyumen?
With confusion and anger, Makarov entered Moscow overnight. As soon as he entered the Kremlin, he saw Goffman, Zorugin and other army generals.
No need to ask, everyone's purpose must be the same.
But for generals like Goffman, Zorugin and other military aristocrats, it is not possible to directly question Katerina. A sufficiently qualified general must lead the team, and Makarov is the best candidate.
"His Majesty!"
Ignoring the maid's obstruction, Makarov was about to break into Katerina's office. When he pushed the door open, a loud shout suddenly sounded from behind him:
"Stop! Are you crazy!"
Turning around, he found that the person coming was Bodelinov. Makarov let go of the handle and said in a deep voice: "We want to see His Majesty."
"Your Majesty had an all-night meeting with the kings of the alliance yesterday, and he just went to bed. What is the important matter that requires you to see your Majesty?"
"There is something we don't understand about the arrangement of the battle situation, and we need your Majesty to answer it."
With a raised eyebrow, Bodlinov was about to curse when suddenly the door opened and a maid poked her head out: "Your Majesty is awake and wants to see you, please keep your voice down."
Makarov and others walked into the dark room and saw Katerina, who was wearing pajamas and looking tired, wiping her face with a wet towel.
After taking the tea brought by the maid and gargling her mouth, Katerina took a deep breath and looked at Makarov: "Do you have any opinions on my strategic deployment?"
"I don't understand what your Majesty wants to do!" Makarov said: "In the past, your Majesty, you would call us together to discuss strategic issues. We know your thoughts and understand the meaning behind the strategic deployment! But this time you did not discuss with us
Discuss, just order us to retreat! Retreat! Retreat again!"
Rubbing her eyebrows, Katerina said with a headache: "I didn't discuss it with you because I was afraid that you would know that the current situation would be shaken. Every day your retreat speed is slower will cause a lot of trouble to the church. Do you know why?
"
"..."
"Nereida has been chasing you. An army without a large number of alchemical weapons cannot compete with God. The purpose of letting you retreat is to protect you! To avoid unnecessary sacrifices!"
Katerina reprimanded: "You are not retreating fast! You are dragging your feet! Rokin, Luca and even the goddess Yunia have gone to the front line! They are the ones who have been blocking Nereida!
"
Makarov and others looked at each other. They only knew that fighting broke out on the front lines these days, but they didn't know who was fighting. Now it seems...
"But Your Majesty, we still have a fortress! If the Garonne cannon can cause damage to Buggy, it will be no problem to deal with Nereida!"
"Cannons are dead, but people are alive! Buggy was hit by the cannon because he was loosely guarded, not because he couldn't escape!"
"Isn't that a dead end?"
Makarov and others were stunned for a moment. If the national strength were to compete, the Romanov Kingdom was definitely not afraid of the Frederick Kingdom. It didn’t even matter if the Roman Republic was added to the list. But now the national strength could not influence the war situation, with two main gods.
The Allies cannot solve it!
Dealing with other churches has always been the duty of the Church of Truth, and the emergence of this situation is undoubtedly Ma Wei's responsibility.
"Pope Mavi, he..."
Makarov hesitated to speak. He wanted to go to St. Basil's Cathedral to question Mavey immediately, but he held back.
The situation is already chaotic enough. If he runs over, it will only add to the chaos and will not bring any beneficial changes to the situation. If he is anxious, the Truth Church must be more anxious than he is!
"You go and carry out the order."
Katerina stood up with a tired look, "Quickly withdraw the troops to the east of Mosk and protect the industrial area. We must delay as much time as possible..."
"Delay time?" Ruolujin keenly grasped the key points and asked, "Has Pope Marvel found a way to deal with it?"
"I don't know, he just said..."
"say what?"
"Let the bullets fly for a while."
............................
United States of America, Rocky Mountains.
There was a lot of noise outside the temple. The demons gathered together and made a noise.
Today is the day when the ancient god of wisdom, Arabi, visits the Contract Temple. The two supreme ancient gods will take their families to discuss the next action, which is very important.
After experiencing the last disastrous defeat, the arrogance of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods has weakened a lot. If the four faiths and gods unite, they really have no way to break the deadlock. After all, human beings today are not the tribes tens of thousands of years ago.
Not only did the number surge, reaching hundreds of millions, but a nation, a complete social order, culture and inheritance were also established.
The ancient gods are also learning the human social model, but it is difficult to manage. The demons whose status is determined by strength do not obey anyone, and they have to divide life and death to end the dispute.
In the temple, seventy-two demon gods stood on the left side of the hall. Opposite were the followers of Arabi, the ancient god of wisdom. Unlike Belial, Arabi’s followers were not many, only a dozen, but they were all powerful.
They are all half-step master gods.
In terms of individual strength, Belial is definitely stronger. As an ancient god in charge of power, it is normal for him to be better than Arabi. However, the real life-and-death battle depends on the overall strength. Asis can seal them, relying on
Isn’t it all about comprehensive strength?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Arabi, who has unusually long arms, sits on the Iron Throne next to Belial, lowering his head as if dozing off. Since coming back, Arabi has been sleeping every day
She sleeps for more than ten hours, just like a cat.
Habits that have been formed for a long time are difficult to change, not even by God.
Wow!
The window screen flew up, a burst of black smoke swept in from the window, and Belial's figure appeared on the throne. Arabi opened his eyes, looked up at this kindred man whom he had not seen for many years, and said with some emotion: "I haven't seen him for two thousand years.
, you are still the same as always."
"Are you different from before?" Belial took the blood wine brought by Freya and raised it to Arabi: "Cheers to our reunion."
After drinking the blood wine in the glass, Arabi slowly said: "The Apocalypse Theology and the Reality Theology jointly attacked the Church of Truth. What do you think about this matter?"
"They are fighting among themselves, which is a good thing."
Belial smiled and said: "Now that I have finally gotten rid of the influence of Marvey Enders and have fully recovered, their life and death has nothing to do with me. It is better to wait and see what happens and watch them both suffer losses."
"Ahis is here too. We finally managed to get the Alchemy Tree to have its own consciousness and get out of Ahis's control. If we just sit back and do nothing, wouldn't we be in vain?"
"You don't understand Maev Enders." Belial shook his head and said: "This human being is both insidious and vicious. I think he has communicated with Odin privately a long time ago. He is just waiting for Nereida, Badji and the others to attack.
Under Mosk City, another surprise attack... Even if Odin refuses to help him, he still has a way to escape, and he will definitely make a comeback in the future."
Arabi said with great interest: "You seem to know him very well."
"On the other hand, you, after spending so long with him, don't understand him at all. I'm surprised."
Arabi smiled noncommittally and proposed another plan: "For tens of thousands of years, the reason why humans have been able to defeat us is not because we are not strong enough, but because humans can always unite at critical moments."
"Your method is indeed feasible, but I think that this time our enemy is not only humans, but also Assis, and we must not ignore his existence."
Belial nodded slightly, "What are your thoughts?"
"Instead of sitting back and doing nothing, we should take the initiative." Arabi said: "The big defeat in the past few days has frustrated us, our morale is low, and we need a victory to stop Assis."
"There is already internal strife within Faith God, why should we intervene?"
Belial was very puzzled. He couldn't figure out the meaning behind Arabi's plan.
Just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
No matter who wins or loses, humanity will be severely damaged!
Then their opportunity will come!
"Master, I agree with the proposal to take the initiative."
Edward, standing in the queue of seventy-two demon gods, suddenly said.
Belial looked at him coldly and scolded him with his eyes. He was discussing important matters with Arabi. What was involved below?
What’s more, the one who supports it is Arabi!
Whose dependent are you?
Edward, who was scolded by his eyes, did not flinch, but continued: "Master, compared to Mawei Enders, our biggest enemy should be Asis. She knows too many secrets and can see the future. If she is not eliminated,
He will definitely cause us more trouble!"
It is indeed more troublesome to restore Asis's strength than to become a powerful goddess of truth. Belial also understands this, but...
His eyes scanned the surroundings, stopping on the seventy-two demon gods, and asked in a deep voice: "Please express your opinions."
Discussions started, and not long after, a demon god who returned from the restricted area of the Romanov Kingdom said: "Master, I support Igor's view. We should take the initiative and make Asis the number one target."
"really."
"That's right..."
Most of those who spoke up supported Edward, and half of them had contacts with the Church of Truth. Even Orion, who had always remained neutral, also supported Edward.
It was rare that Freya, who always carried out her orders unswervingly, did not express her position.
Belial looked sideways, "Freya, why don't you speak?"
"Master, I..."
"Just say what you think. I'm calling everyone here today to discuss countermeasures. If you have any ideas, say them without restraint."
"I..." Freya paused, lowered her head, and whispered: "I also think that Asis should be listed as the number one enemy. She is too dangerous... I don't want you to..."
"Losing to Him again, right?"
Belial smiled slightly, "You are very loyal, and... Maria, what do you think?"
Maria, who was named, glanced at Freya and moved her lips: "I abstain, Master."
"Why abstain?"
"I want you to sit back and watch, but this is my selfish intention..."
Nodding, Belial already knew what Maria was thinking.
What Edward, Arabi, and Freya thought was not important. At least in Belial's view, their attacks were all selfish.
More than half of the demons have received favors from Ma Wei. At important moments, their stance will not waver, but if they can attack or not, that little favor becomes the last feather in the balance.
Belial felt a little afraid of the influence of Maev Enders. Even though he had returned, quite a few of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods still had a favorable impression of him...
In comparison, Maria's idea is very pertinent.
Having accompanied Napoleon for many years, she was able to support the offensive plan without any selfish motives.
Even if she has to put her selfishness into it, she should just sit back and watch.
"Yeah...."
Belial murmured to himself and suddenly laughed at himself: "What surprises me the most is you, Arabi."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You are still soft-hearted because of him, that man."
"Don't get me wrong." Arabi said calmly: "I have been lurking beside him with a purpose from the beginning. How can I be shaken?"
"If Marv Enders doesn't reveal your identity, how long will you have to hide there?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."
Arabi became cold: "So you revealed my identity to Marvie Enders? Just to force me to come back?"
"Who knows? Maybe I want to remind you to pay attention to your identity and not to pretend for too long that you forget who you are."
Belial picked up the golden cup and found that the blood wine had been finished. He flattened the cup and said, "Since you all support the attack, let's attack."
"yes!"
"Igor, you stay."
Just as the Seventy-Two Demon Gods received the order and left, Belial suddenly called out to Edward.
"Owner."
"How is the memory recovery going?"
"Very good, Master." Edward replied softly: "I have remembered who I am. I am Igor Cain, the Lord of the Blood Clan, your dependent."
Belial nodded: "You supported Arabi today. Do you really think that launching an attack would be good for us?"
"....I have selfish motives, Master."
After hesitating for a moment, Edward knelt down on one knee and said: "Please forgive me. Although Marv Enders is our enemy, he has given me a lot of help. My loyalty to you has never changed or wavered. I just want to
I will repay him as much as I can."
"Don't be nervous, get up."
Belial spoke gently, helped Edward up, and said happily: "Those who don't know how to be grateful have no loyalty at all. You know how to repay a favor, which just proves your loyalty, because the favor I gave you is greater than that of Mawe Ende."
It’s deeper and bigger.”
"Okay, go ahead. I'm glad you are willing to confess to me, but next time, don't be selfish."
"I understand, Master."
Looking at Edward's leaving figure, Belial's expression grew colder. He did not regret his choice, but...
The bullet fired by Ma Wei seemed to have arrived in front of Him.
