"Which group of challengers is this?" Robert asked, leaning against the palace wall and crossing his arms.
"I can't remember clearly." Hidliba looked at the young Norman man who fell to the ground and groaned, and said lightly.
"If I were you, I would pick a few and cut their necks right now to scare away those potential lunatics who are ready to act." Robert suggested.
"That's not necessary." Hidrifa said coldly.
She does not fully trust this "father", and of course she is not as cold and hostile as she was at the beginning. In any case, since Medea has reached an agreement with Robert on behalf of the team, it is natural for her to not make the relationship too tense in the middle.
, although she still felt very uncomfortable.
"About next month's Viking Trial, there is a slight change." Robert continued, "There are too many juniors who signed up for the trial this time."
"Is this why you asked me to kill more people?" Hidrifa asked.
"Of course, there are indeed factors in this regard." Robert said calmly, "The final part of the Viking Trial is the duel. The contestants kill each other to please the 'Navia Bone Teeth' in exchange for it to continue to perform next year.
Function (that is, the 'Relic of the Wolf that Shakes the Earth' required in Mia's ritual mission, owned by the Hauteville family)."
"If there are too many people participating, the final one-on-one session will take too long, so a group of people must be eliminated first."
"That's your elimination too." Hidrifa's meaning was very clear, don't use my hands to do dirty work.
"Good girl, whether you understand it or not, the hands of the Normans will always be stained with blood." Robert said indifferently, "Your current soft-heartedness will only make you be underestimated, and sooner or later you will kill more people.
To make up for it.”
Hidliefa ignored him.
"Recently, the Hafstad Undead Kingdom in the Southern Continent has been sending ghost fleets to privately plunder the Mediterranean caravans under our protection." Robert did not take it seriously and continued, "If you have time, you can familiarize yourself with naval warfare.
Just look for the captain named 'Ogg' at the port in the east of the city."
Hilda was silent. She knew that Robert was hinting to him that the next first round of eliminations might be related to naval battles. However, naval battles... Do I still need to be familiar with them?
At the same time, on the other side of Sicily, Medea and Mel were listening to Derek's explanation. This demigod was Rasul's childhood friend. He had been wandering around in the Kingdom of the Undead in the Southern Continent for many years and had his own territory.
The army of corpse witches is now serving Mi'er, who has inherited the name of Messiah.
"Hafstad, the Kingdom of the Dead, has been plotting against the Iberian Peninsula on the west side of the Northern Continent for many years. It is just worried about the threat from the Holy See..." Derek introduced, and suddenly asked strangely, "Minerva, you guys
What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Mi'er said, rubbing her abdomen, "Just keep talking."
Next to her, Medea put an ice pack on her face and grimaced as if in pain. Judging from the experience of Derek, the two of them must have been seriously injured and then cured by extraordinary powers.
There is no wound but still pain.
"That's right." Derek continued, "Because of the war between the Holy See and the Empire in the first half of the year, and the current containment of the Normans in Sicily, the Kingdom of the Dead believes that this is an excellent historical window to cross the Strait of Gibraltar to the north.
levy.”
"Of course, before that, they have to ensure the blockade of the Tyrrhenian Sea to prevent the Holy See's navy from taking the sea route to support Iberia, or directly going south to launch a jihad. The Mediterranean is currently controlled by the Normans in Sicily, so... the United States
Miss Dia, do you understand what it means?"
This question was probing and probing, and Medea smiled slightly and replied:
"The Kingdom of Sicily also believes in Christianity, so the Holy See and the Normans are willing to make peace, but there is no reason for peace talks with the Kingdom of the Undead. If the Undead go directly north to attack Iberia, the Holy See will definitely be willing to pay a certain price and negotiate with the Normans.
Peace talks, and then unite all efforts to go south to carry out jihad."
"Therefore, if the Kingdom of the Dead wants to march north, it must first destroy the possibility of cooperation between the Holy See and the Normans. Considering the arrogance, arrogance and extremely sensitive psychology of the Normans, low intensity and frequent maritime friction can be used to
Aroused the warlike spirit of the Normans."
"If the Normans are harassed by a small number of ghost ships for a long time, they will inevitably become extremely sensitive and suspicious. And a Sicilian Kingdom that is caught in a naval battle is even less likely to accept the Holy See's request for a passage, in case they suddenly backstab them halfway."
"That's right." Derek said with approval, "In fact, if the forces that rule Sicily were replaced by someone else, the Kingdom of the Dead would definitely give priority to forming an alliance with them and work together to fight against the Northern Holy See."
"However, it is well known that the Normans have never had the concept of loyalty, and allying with them will only mean seeking the skin of a tiger. On the other hand, the Holy See also knows this. Therefore, as long as the bloodthirsty and aggressive mentality of the Normans is aroused, Tyrrheny can
The war in Anhai continues, which can greatly restrain the Holy See's maritime power. After all, they dare not completely trust the Normans, and the Normans who are caught in the war will also be wary of them."
"Now that you said so." Medea smiled, "Presumably the undead fleet has already gone north by now and started heading towards Sicily, right?"
"About to cross the Tunis Strait." Derek replied.
"Well, let's continue to act according to the original plan." Medea thought for a while, then turned to Mi'er to confirm and asked, "How about it?"
"That's right." Mi'er said, "First of all, about 1-2 weeks later, the undead fleet arrived in the Tyrrhenian Sea and launched a guerrilla war with the Norman fleet."
"Secondly, at the end of October, when the naval battle is stalemate, we need to allow the guerrillas to launch a rebellion in Catania."
"Since the main force of the Normans was concentrated on the sea, they could only detach part of the Northern Horn Army to go to Catania to quell the rebellion."
"We can design to eat this extraordinary force, thus causing heavy damage to the Otterville family."
"The person responsible for leading this army here should be Sidrifa's demigod father, right?" Medea frowned and said, "Is it okay? Can the other party be trusted?"
"Of course there is a reason why the battlefield was chosen in Catania." Mi'er did not answer her, but just smiled and said.
On Hearth Island, Ask is explaining to Eleanor: about the selection of subsequent law skills.
"You are now at level 13, and the skills you possess are 'Unyielding', 'Flow of Light' and 'Arm of Will'."
"Unyielding makes you immune to psychic control and extends the duration of the Holy Sword; the flow of light increases your mobility, allowing you to ignore the influence of the terrain and environment and turn into a flow of light to move at will; the arm of will allows you to
The means of attack are liberated from the equipment, making your available tactics more flexible."
"If you consider the role of the Holy Sword, your current tactical system is quite balanced: there is output, there is resistance, and there is maneuverability. However, this time in actual combat, we discovered a problem, that is, you lack effective means to deal with long-range enemies.
.”
"The long-range enemies here include flying enemies in the air, enemies with high maneuverability that keep a distance from you, and enemies that can attack from a distance. Against these people, you can probably only use the extended light stream of your will to poke them.
, this speed is really too slow.”
"For example, this time I use gravity to control you. Although I can't penetrate your defense, your movements are also restricted and you can't attack me at all."
"On the battlefield, if you cannot interrupt the enemy's attack in time, you will inevitably fall into the situation of being passively beaten. If your holy sword can last for more than 1 minute, then if the enemy bombards you indiscriminately or controls you for more than 1 minute,
Zhong, what should you do?”
"Hmm." Eleanor thought about it carefully and had to admit that Asker was right.
If an enemy with the law of gravity comes and uses amplified gravity to directly suppress her from a long distance, she seems to have no other good method except to turn on the holy sword state and force it.
"So, what should we do?" the female knight asked seriously.
"There are three ways to face this type of long-range enemy." Asik raised three fingers.
"Quick long-range attack method, sniper in advance to interrupt."
"Large range of AOE continuous damage, just throw it with your eyes closed."
"And, effective control means, strike first and take advantage."
