“This is the battle report for this time.”
Thanks to the spiritual network set up by Cassius, the speed of information transmission in An Zhu can be considered quite rapid.
The entire scene seemed to fall into endless silence.
Originally, Alberto’s plan was to use the long border line and more basic warriors than the Lars Knights to engage in full-scale war, while using those high-level professions to distract the Lars Knights, making the other side run around in exhaustion.
However, unexpectedly, the battle started early this time, and not only was the front line not fully deployed, but that forward stronghold also had a trend of being a bottomless pit; the basic warriors were even directly “disconnected” by the enemy.
“I should have reminded His Majesty earlier!”
Cassius spoke seriously and was quite angry.
“Based on previous conditions, the spiritual network of the basic warriors still has vulnerabilities; we must wait for me to repair it before going to war! Why did the troops below initiate combat without permission?”
At this time, the War God Church also stepped forward: “If we don’t go to war now, will we wait for the enemy to clear out the Demon Clan and return to the front lines before starting?”
Cassius rebutted: “Our greatest advantage against Cape is the continuous supply of basic warriors and support from the Demon Clan and Avar, but right now, this support has not been utilized; instead, our warriors are being sent to their deaths, do you understand?”
The original plan was to use the Avar and Demon Clan as cannon fodder, but clearly, these cannon fodder had not yet had the chance to appear before An Zhu’s forces clashed head-on with the enemy.
Caron beside them flinched; he was still present, and Cassius was almost implying that they regarded the Avar as expendable.
“The number of their Lars Knights is not large; the intelligence is correct. That governor is currently eager to clear out the Demon Clan. Although our side’s formation is also compromised, we have those acting on their own.”
A general from An Zhu noticed the awkward atmosphere in the room and continued, “However, as long as we follow the original plan and expand the front line on a large scale, the enemy will find it very difficult to defend.”
“And all of this requires your help.”
The general turned his gaze towards Caron.
“This is natural.”
Caron’s gaze returned from the basic warriors transmitting information and said, “We Avar will provide you with as much help as possible; however, in return, regarding the ports…”
Cannon fodder is cannon fodder; as long as the objective can be achieved, Avar will understand.
Moreover, the Avar had brought up the matter of opening the ports more than once, while Alberto asked, “Will the dragons go into battle? Stop saying things like maybe or maybe not; I want a specific answer.”
“Naturally, they will. There is no better opportunity for them to go into battle than now; Your Majesty should know this.”
Caron bowed respectfully.
“I understand. Then you will be responsible for those coastal small countries, and the ports we conquer will be managed by us, and we will directly tax the ports. However, these ports can allow your troops to come ashore freely, and later I will relax the restrictions on the Avar.”
“Wise decision.”
Caron immediately began to flatter.
“We will cooperate with you fully; please rest assured, Your Majesty.”
The Avar help An Zhu take down neighboring countries, then allows An Zhu to take over and still needs to tax An Zhu; it looks like fools, but for the Avar, stepping onto this land seems to be more important than anything else.
At least looking at those basic warriors now, An Zhu indeed has the qualifications to make suggestions to the Avar.
Moreover, being able to jointly control the surrounding small countries with An Zhu has indeed exceeded the Avar’s expectations, indicating that An Zhu has already put the Avar in the same position as An Zhu.
Once the great powers go to war, the first to suffer will be those neighboring small countries; for those small countries, time is indeed running out.
“By the way, Your Majesty.”
Caron continued, “I have some Demon Clan friends who escaped from Cape; they want to act with us, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it. After all, Your Majesty knows that we currently need troop strength on the front lines.”
Alberto frowned. In fact, there are quite a few Demon Clan merchants within An Zhu right now. Although Alberto doesn’t treat these Demon Clan merchants well, they have indeed brought a lot of benefits.
But as Caron said, because they need to be cautious, there are indeed many Avar on the front lines, and letting other Avar control the neighboring small countries is currently quite difficult.
“Don’t complicate things for me.”
“Your Majesty, we have common enemies.”
Seeing that Alberto agreed, Caron continued to flatter.
After the meeting was over and everyone left, Alberto asked Cassius, “Any movements from the War God Church?”
“None. The War God Church has even gradually stabilized, and the reformed War God Church believers are going mad less and less.”
“That’s good, but still can’t relax.”
Alberto sighed and compared to Cape and the elves; An Zhu is just a loose alliance, and everyone is waiting to defeat Cape and the elves to pick up the corpses. So even if there are wins and losses on the front line, Alberto can only say they won.
“We have to take the initiative and directly defeat that governor.”
“Your Majesty, only we can restore the glory of the Human Empire.”
…..
In the spiritual network constructed by Cassius, in a place even Cassius couldn’t find, a group of War God Church members were also holding a meeting.
“Thanks to the protection of the Lord, here, even Master Cassius cannot discover us.”
In this space, there were only believers of the War God Church, and these believers appeared somewhat deranged and fanatical in the spiritual network, just like a group of cultists.
“That’s right, this is already part of the Divine Kingdom of our War God. Even if Master Cassius discovers this place, he cannot know what is happening here.”
As the War God believers said, although they connected through Cassius’ spiritual network, the connection had even reached below the sea surface of the Sea of Consciousness; Cassius absolutely could not discover it.
“The boundary between the Divine Kingdom and reality is getting closer and closer. I feel the time is nearly here.”
A priest of the War God Church dressed in the priest’s robe said, “But it’s still not enough. The Cape people are nothing but cowards hiding behind steel! Because they only dare to hide behind, the casualties in this war are far less than imagined; the flames of war are not enough and must continue to burn! Only with enough sacrifices can the Lord descend!”
At this moment, a believer stood up and said, “Relying on the blood of those cowards from Cape for sacrifices is definitely not enough. The fear we gather is simply insufficient, and we can’t offer a bunch of cowards as sacrifices to the Lord. In that case, why not use those neighboring countries? There should be plenty!”
A believer who had just become alert in this space also woke up and said, “The meeting is over; the task of cleaning up the neighboring countries has been given to the Avar.”
“Then should we contact those Avar to help with the work?”
At this time, some believers seemed a bit hesitant, as anyone could see that these ambitious Avar could not be trusted.
However, the priest dressed in the priest’s robe stepped forward and said, “As long as the Avar also believe in our Lord, isn’t that enough? This world ultimately belongs to the Lord, and the Lord will ascend through the War God and blood, becoming the first deity to descend into the world!”
“Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!”
And in reality, a priest of the War God Church dressed in a priest’s robe handed a chicken egg to a worker on the other side: “May the War God bless you, granting you a strong physique and an indomitable will.”
The War God Church is normal, even learning to adopt the strategy of the Lantern Dream faith by sending chicken eggs.
Everything is normal.
