"Answer my question, how did you recognize me?" Cecilia asked, while signaling other riders to stay away and keep their distance.
"Relax, beauty," Camille jumped down from the tree, "I just kept paying attention to aptain Bai. Not only you, a special follower, but also his new teammates, I know them all clearly.
by the way...I watch every one of your league games."
"In addition, your warg is related to Aptain Shiro, right? It looks somewhat similar to his summoned giant wolf, but it's not as big."
"Are you... also a suitor of Dio?" Cecilia narrowed her eyes.
Camille probably knew who the word "Dior" was referring to, so she didn't ask any more questions. She shrugged, her chest felt turbulent, and she said with a smile: "The suitor can't be mentioned, it's just appreciation and curiosity... Of course.
If Bai is willing, I wouldn't mind starting a beautiful cross-border romance with him."
"Tell me about the creditor." Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief, patted the back of the rock, took out the dried meat from her bag, tore it open, and fed it.
After feeding a large piece of dried meat, Camille had finished telling the story of how she met Bai Xiaowen, including how she and Bai Xiaowen met at the auction, made a deal, and even borrowed 100,000 psychic points from him.
Cecilia scratched Yanbei's neck and asked him to return to Wolf Valley.
From Camille's attitude, Cecilia had already judged that the other party was not hostile.
"Since you have arrived in the Xisha Province, Aptain Bai should also have arrived, right?" Camille asked curiously, "Where are the others? Where are they? I just took advantage of the abundant funds now to return the psychic points to him."
"Dior is not currently in Xisha, but is staying in the central province to take command." Cecilia was cautious and did not tell the truth.
"That's it." Camille was a little regretful, "I really want to see him... Your team should have long-distance communication methods, right?"
"I will inform him. But how should I contact you again?" Cecilia asked.
"Here." Camille proposed a deal to Cecilia.
Cecilia accepted, and what she was given was a charm.
[Lingxi Talisman (imitation): a special item. There are no colorful phoenix wings in the body, but a telepathic connection in the heart. When one of the Lingxi Talisman is activated, the other one will be passively activated and mark the location between each other. It is impossible to cross boundaries.
Disappears after use.】
Cecilia took the Soul Talisman (imitation). She asked again: "The camp you entered is the Drow Elf Empire? What is the relationship between the awakened noble camp of Xisha Province and you?"
"Sorry, I can't reveal this," Camille carefully considered the words and emphasized again, "I can't disclose information about me... and my companions in any way, including oral statements, transcripts, hints, metaphors, etc.
Neither works."
Cecilia narrowed her eyes: "Then what's the point of meeting Dio?"
Camille smiled and said: "I don't know what the meaning is, but since we are destined to meet in the spiritual world, I always feel a bit regretful not to see each other."
Camille left, and Cecilia did not leave her behind.
Although she was in the opposing camp, Cecilia still keenly felt that this was an attainable goal.
A group of more than a dozen riders set off again.
"Ms. Cecilia, that drow just now was in the same group as the murderer of Earl Denton? He was also a speculator from another world," Sister Celine said in a low voice.
"Yes, but she and Dio know each other, so maybe they are not enemies."
"...Oh my god, the relationship between speculators in other worlds is really complicated and completely different from ours." Sister Celine said.
Cecilia did not speak. Now, she is already a speculator in another world, that is, a member of the Awakened. The appearance of Bai Xiaowen has changed her destiny. But what is gratifying is that she is still in the Kane plane.
In her hometown, people here did not regard her as a speculator.
"I need to leave." Cecilia said suddenly.
"Ah? Why?" Sister Celine was a little surprised.
"New key information has occurred, and I must report it to Dio as soon as possible."
Cecilia took out the painting scroll Bai Xiaowen gave her from the storage space. After thinking about it, she put it back.
"However, let's rush to His Majesty the Emperor first and finish what Dio asked us to do..."
Cecilia would not be at ease if Sister Tocelin handed over to these dozen riders.
…
The situation in Xisha Province is treacherous.
On the surface, three parties are competing against each other: the Western Expeditionary Army of the Plantagenet Empire, the Knossolis Tribal Legion, and the private coalition of nobles of the Xisha Province.
In reality?
The private army of the Xisha nobles is the weakest, but has the widest sources of information.
The Knosolis tribe is in the middle of the pack in terms of strength, but Matron Cynthia is cunning and cunning, and is already firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The Empire's Western Expeditionary Army was the strongest, but had the fewest intelligence sources. It had almost no idea of the situation in the Xisha Province.
Among the three camps, there are awakened people from all sides, and each powerful awakened person has his own little calculation.
This makes the situation in Xisha Province even more elusive.
Under the watchful eye of Mistress Cynthia, the Western Expeditionary Army has entered the Dukedom of Bethavia in great force.
The other small aristocratic territories in the Xisha Province have basically been abandoned. Thanks to the strong tactics of the heir to the Duke of Bethusway, the Xisha nobles gathered their private armies to form a coalition and stationed them uniformly at Bethusway Castle.
Of course, it took a lot of effort to persuade the small nobles to give up their ancestral territories and form a coalition army. August and Andre were basically doing this these days.
What puzzled Mother Cynthia was that the Xisha noble coalition seemed to have given up on harassment and resistance along the way and allowed the Imperial Western Expeditionary Army to advance.
"Stupid! If an army is detached and leaves Bethusway Castle, taking advantage of the geographical advantages of Xisha Province to carry out guerrilla warfare, and supporting each other with Bethusway Castle, there may be a chance of success. But now all their troops are guarding the castle.
In the middle, it is equivalent to handing over a large strategic depth to others! The emperor can besiege the city without any distractions, and no matter how strong the city is, it will fall sooner or later!"
Hearing Mother Cynthia's comments, Camille smiled and said: "Although they are stupid, they also satisfy our strategic plan and can maximize the loss of the Imperial Regiment's strength, making it easier for us to harvest."
Mother Cynthia smiled and said: "Well, the death of these idiots is worth something."
It took the Imperial Western Expeditionary Army one day to capture the Castle of Bessuway.
Seeing the advance troops of the Imperial Army pouring in, Matron Cynthia suppressed the trace of doubt in her heart and ordered the drow army that had been lying in wait for a long time to attack the Imperial Army's back.
Under attack from both front and back, the Imperial Guard's rear army was on the verge of collapse.
