……
Posen Kingdom a few hours later.
As the hub in the eastern region connecting the Kingdom of Aloran on the left and the Kingdom of Hutton on the right, the high-level officials were in a mess.
In the heart of Parrieux, the capital of Poisson, lies the magnificent King's Ministry of Defense Building.
The building is made of gray and white marble, with six ancient Parian columns supporting a triangular gable.
Entering the building, you will see a spacious hall with a statue of the national emblem of the Posen Kingdom. A spiral staircase deep in the hall leads to the core area of the Ministry of National Defense.
The deployment center is located on the third floor of the Department of Defense Building.
People wearing military uniforms and high-level civilian uniforms of the Posen Kingdom were constantly running back and forth.
They connected using communication magic, gathered around a smart touch table, and communicated with solemn expressions.
The surface of the touch table displays the military deployment map of the various border defense lines of the Posen Kingdom in real time, and the different colored light spots represent different military services and the number of troops.
"Now not only us, but also the defense lines of the Kingdom of Aloran and the Kingdom of Hutton have been severely damaged. There is basically no need to ask for help."
The intelligence officer used a magic mechanical pen to circle a few flashing red dots on the screen. His tone was solemn. Now it all depends on the strongest western hub area to attract firepower, otherwise the east side will be even worse.
"Our army's dispatched troops in the southwest have lost nearly one-third, and the surviving troops are retreating south. At this rate, even if the defense of the South Asia Kuidan Territory can be strengthened, the southwest is basically ready to give up."
He looked at the changing data on the screen and said gloomily.
While the noise continues.
Footsteps sounded, and a figure came along the stairs to the third floor, and many figures immediately surrounded him.
"Mr. Lieutenant General, the border is asking for help. Do we, the Central Army, continue to send troops?"
They quickly asked Nigel, who was now a lieutenant general.
"... Let the Senate decide. I think there is little point in continuing reinforcements to the southwest."
Nigel shook his head with tired eyes, as if he didn't know what to do.
There are constant turmoils before and after. Although Nigel is not a general who will easily go to the front line to fight, if he is really beaten to Huadu, he will be the last line of defense commander to defend Huadu.
His responsibilities are equally important.
What's more, even if he goes, he may not be able to turn the tide of the war.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of the teacher who had passed away. If he had been as powerful as Perlman, he might really be able to play a vital role on the frontline battlefield.
After the battle in Huadu that night, he once again understood the sentence "The realm of life and death will make the demon warriors stronger." If the immortal species does not put aside the concept of life and death and learn to bloom like a short-lived creature, it will be limited. If you don't have fireworks, it will be difficult to become stronger quickly.
The piece of [Parroni's Resentment] that Perlman forcibly implanted in his body has almost become one with him. After regaining himself, he did not choose to separate it, but worked hard to rely on himself. Suppress and harness its power.
If one day he has to face a powerful eighth-level enemy again, he may need to rely on this barely legendary madness ability to be able to fight against it.
Nigel simply dealt with the officers and civilian officials around him and went straight to the rear.
I saw a rest area on one side of the third floor.
Ranchi and Thalia were drinking tea.
"Nigel, here we come."
Lan Qi noticed Nigel and suddenly smiled.
He and Thalia stayed in the Poisen Kingdom for nearly a week due to transportation. Now they are paying attention to the battle situation and traffic information every day. The person responsible for taking care of them in the Poisen Kingdom has gradually changed from Countess Rosalinda to Nigel. .
Now that the war has begun, Countess Rosalinda, as a platinum-level card maker and expert in magic engineering, has been immediately recruited into the military industry department, and she is extremely busy every day.
"Lanqi, Tata, I'm very sorry. The war situation has become worse. We have no way to send you back to the Kingdom of Hutton for the time being. Except for large city-states with core city defense systems like Huadu Parrieu, the magic rail train passes by Anywhere else could be very dangerous.”
Nigel took off his military hat, sat across from them, and bowed his head to them.
What today brings is not good news, but bad news that they will have to stay for an unknown period of time.
Cross-border transportation is frequently attacked, and there are fewer and fewer stations and routes available. No one knows where the city-state will fall together.
Now if you want to return to the Hutton Kingdom, there are many uncertainties with the only magic energy rail train.
At present, the safest plan is to head all the way east within the country, and then transfer to a small vehicle after exiting the country, crossing several small countries in the eastern region, and arriving at the Kingdom of Hutton in the easternmost part of the Southern Continent.
Even then, it takes a long time and is extremely risky.
"Your status as a scientific researcher is enough for the Creation Empire to send enough force to kidnap you. In the worst case scenario, if your itinerary information is leaked, you will face a situation of death and no life."
Nigel added.
Although the large forces of the Crean Empire will not directly attack the Posen Kingdom, the high-level assassins of the Crean Empire can make surprise attacks, and once they leave the country, there may even be military gods.
"It doesn't matter. We were already prepared when we knew the war started. We were even lucky that we didn't wake up and set off in a hurry, otherwise we might have been blocked halfway."
Lanci shook his head and patted Nigel's shoulder in relief.
The last time he fought against the strong eighth-level Pearlman, he was already sweating. He had to rely on his and Thalia's Demon King's special attack, plus the routine to win Pearlman twice. No matter which Imperial War God he encountered, he might Something is going to happen.
And even if the difference in hard power is not big and it constitutes attribute restraint, it will still become one side suppressing the other side.
For example, Thalia's spiritual magic does not work on alchemical organisms, so if she meets the corrupt bishop Farmer, she has no chance of winning.
"Lanchi, Tata..."
Nigel's expression became a little bitter, and he seemed to be speechless.
It would be safest to wait for a good time before arranging Lan Qi's return.
At least this period was the most turbulent, and the Posen Kingdom itself was a little overwhelmed.
"Can you be entrusted to be our magic engineer in the near future?"
Nigel looked at the two and finally spoke.
He himself owed Lan Qi and Tata a favor, but now that the Posen Kingdom was unable to send them back safely, it had to entrust them with help, which was a bit of "repaying a favor with an enemy", which really made him feel guilty.
"no problem."
Lan Qi glanced at Talia, then nodded and agreed simply.
Nigel was a lifelong friend of both of them, and there wasn't much to say.
"Thank you, that's a big help."
Nigel breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only are their two platinum-level card makers providing assistance as magic craftsmen, but now that the Posen Kingdom lacks top-notch combat power, Nigel can feel a little more at ease with their presence.
suddenly.
The communication magic device in Nigel's ear rang.
"Lieutenant General Nigel, we have received intelligence that the second line of defense on the southwest border is also on the verge of collapse."
There was a buzzing sound.
"Why so fast?"
Nigel stood up immediately.
Lan Qi also looked confused and was paying attention to the front. Although he did not have the authority to coordinate the war situation, he would give some suggestions as a technical support expert.
"It's Philip, the Seventh Army God who is sealed on the Blood Chalcedony Seat. He's crazy. He launched a second round of attack!"
"..."
When Nigel heard this, his expression froze for a moment.
"Sorry, Lanci, Tata, I might go to confirm the situation. If necessary, I will also go to the front line to provide support."
After listening to the communication, he apologized to Lanci and Talia and prepared to leave.
Lanci and Thalia looked at each other.
"Nigel, what is the strength of the God of War?"
They didn't waste Nigel's time, they just followed him and asked him questions at his side.
Lan Qi had only heard hearsay about the strength of the Twelve Gods of War before, but what level it was, just listening to the students from the Alchemy School of Icerite Academy, definitely did not know the level of fighting power of the real generals of the Posen Kingdom like Nigel. accurate.
Nigel was silent for a moment.
"If they are the strongest military gods, no unit in our Kingdom of Posen can compete with them one-on-one. I am afraid that only Loren, the great priest of your country, can fight against the military gods head-on."
He replied.
"Besides the First Army God Sea Sintos, are there any other strong men in the Creain Empire who are stronger than Loren?"
Lan Qi thought for a while and asked Nigel again.
Of the forces he currently knows about the Creation Empire, apart from the vampires, the strongest one should be Hyacintos, the strongest man in the Southern Continent.
The extinct bishop of the northern continent is also the origin of the term "super bishop-level strength". He has always been called the head of the twelve military gods of the Creain Empire in the southern continent and the military god Hyacintos who was awarded the Diamond Seat.
In Lan Qi's perception, Loren was a ceiling-level powerhouse, famous throughout the Southern Continent, and no one would question his power.
Lanci didn't know exactly how much better Hyacintos was than Loren.
But at present, it seems that Loren is obviously not at the level of Hyacintos.
"...I'm afraid there are three or four who will be stronger than Loren. I don't mean to offend, I'm just stating the facts. Among the Twelve Gods of War, Loren can only be said to be at the upper level, not the top."
Nigel shook his head.
"..."
Lanci and Thalia looked at each other again.
They believed that Nigel's intelligence and judgment were fine.
Nigel is an extremely reliable teammate.
In comparison, a typical negative teaching material is the Snow Witch, and her information seems to be incorrect.
"Nigel."
Lan Qi suddenly stopped Nigel and at the same time asked the cat boss to activate the sound sealing barrier.
Nigel noticed that Lan Qi seemed to have something important to discuss with him, so he stopped for the time being.
"During this period, Tata and I will do our best to help you in the rear of Posen Kingdom, but can you find a way to help me get an identity and a channel that allows me to disguise myself as a businessman or something like that, from Yaquidan in the south? Lead the infiltration into the Kraiyu Empire?"
Ranchi stared at Nigel and said.
