Handing over the generalization of the ability to Emerson, Todd began to focus on the battle in the east.

　　According to the feedback from the Twilight Knights, the church coalition has already assembled on the border and plans to launch an attack in late autumn.

　　 There are two things about this war that Todd cares about.

　　First, after Twi West City issued "Justification by Faith" to attack the church, and completely tore it away, in just six months, the church integrated the crusaders of twenty kingdoms. This kind of speed and scope of military consolidation is unique in the history of foreign warfare across the entire church. The only explanation is that the church had secretly planned a crusade against Twilight City a long time ago, and this time it was able to integrate a huge army so quickly.

　　Second, the time of the offensive launched by the church coalition forces was chosen in the late autumn and early winter. From the perspective of warfare, choosing such a time to launch an attack is not a wise choice. Cold weather and snow on the roads will greatly detriment the morale and logistics of the offensive team. Regarding the second point, after thinking and analysis, Todd believed that the reason why the church took the risk and chose to launch an offensive at this time was entirely due to the fact that it was disrupted by the throne of the Holy Acropolis.

　　In the church’s original plan, after Sinclair took the throne, the church regained control of the Holy Saviour and included it in the encirclement of the West City. This plan should have been a sure thing.

However, the intervention of the Presbyterian Church, Leoric’s ambitions, and the appearance of fake Felicchild completely disrupted the church’s overall plan, and sent a person whom they had never thought of—Mary, to the Queen. Throne.

　　 Therefore, after some trade-offs, the church decided to take advantage of the new king's emergence and the foundation is not stable, as soon as possible to capture the Holy Acropolis and re-establish the encirclement of Muxicheng, which became the only choice.

　　 Wanting to understand these things, Todd began to focus on the war.

　　In terms of military strength, the Twilight Knights has three hundred heavy knights, and all the equipment is top-notch configuration.

　　 In addition to this, there are scout heirs, sniper heirs and elemental heirs. These military forces can play a great role in the battle of defending the city.

　　 But the crux of the problem lies in the soldiers of the Holy Acropolis. Those armies that originally belonged to different families, although the patriarchs of the families they belonged to were basically killed and wounded in the turmoil, it is difficult to guarantee that the other people in these families will not give up and fought at both ends of the city.

　　 Therefore, in Todd's view, Queen Mary has just succeeded to the throne. Whether she can hold these military forces tightly in her hands may be the key to the victory of the Holy Acropolis.

Todd, who returned to the audience room, finished the tasks at hand one by one. Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, he invited Huggins and asked him: "According to the results of the last meeting, the church coalition troops, It should be the battlefield that arrived at the Holy Acropolis today."

　　 Hudgens nodded and replied, "Yes, your majesty."

　　 Todd tapped his finger on the table: "After dinner, hold a meeting with Holy Acropolis."

　　 After a brief dinner, Todd pulled out the defense map of the Holy Acropolis and the surrounding maps. After a closer inspection, the soul space was opened, and Cumberland and Mary were summoned first.

　　 Cumberland was wearing a knight armor, and his helmet was held in his arms. When he saw the king, he saluted first, then walked around the room, and finally remained silent.

　　 Mary put on a women's chain mail, and when she saw Todd, she just nodded coldly.

　　 Todd sat on the chair in the conference room of the institute, motioned for the two to sit down, and then dragged Huggins into the soul space, and asked, "How is the battlefield situation?"

　　 Cumberland did not speak, but turned on the 3D projection and played out the memory fragments that belonged to him.

　　In the 3D holographic movie, the sky over the Moon Creek Plain is gloomy, and the cold wind of late autumn blows grass and branches around.

　　 A long sound of drums came from far away.

　　 At first, only dozens of heavily armed knights appeared in the field of vision; soon, thousands of cavalrymen climbed over the mound and came to the plain near the Holy Acropolis.

　　 Todd looked at the cavalry under various flags in the picture, and said solemnly: "These are all troops of the church coalition?"

"The Kingdom of Hilka, the Duchy of Fenton, the Kingdom of Slobby, the Kingdom of Moro Erik..." Cumberland looked at the flags in the screen, counted them one by one, and finally sighed: "I forgot. I haven't seen such a big battle in many years."

　　As the cavalry began to explore the battlefield, the enemy's infantry regiment slowly appeared in front of the defenders.

　　 Nearly a hundred square formations, under the flags of different kingdoms, entered the battlefield one by one.

　　 Looking at it roughly, the mountains and plains are full of enemies, the turbulent heads have completely covered the grass, and the fierce drums have drowned out the whirring wind.

　　 Todd looked at the enemy's army in surprise, and said hesitantly: "I originally thought the enemy's troop numbers would be exaggerated to a certain extent, so it seems that I might be wrong."

Cumberland pointed to the formation in the screen and said to Todd: "This phalanx is Adlan's spearmen, and this is Milanko's longbow regiment... Although the enemy's total strength is called 15,000 There are a lot of people, but if you look closely at the flags and equipment of the army, you can find that a large part of the people are farmers and soldiers in charge of logistics and chores."

　　 Todd said to Cumberland: "Without the peasants and other non-combatants, how much is the enemy's force left?"

　　 "There are about ten thousand people." Cumberland shrugged: "I admit that this number still sounds huge, but the enemy's weaknesses are also reflected in the army."

　　 Todd wondered: "The enemy's weakness?"

　　 Cumberland's two-handed retractable model changed the entire 3D battlefield into a bird's-eye view mode.

　　 Todd saw some clues at this time.

　　 The enemy's army seems to be close, but it seems that it is faintly divided into three groups.

　　 Two group phalanxes are in front and one is behind.

"This is……?"

　　 "The enemy army is not monolithic. The two front phalanxes are the armies of the secular kingdom. They come from the Central Diocese and the Eastern Diocese respectively. The phalanx that falls behind is the direct troops of the church."

　　 Todd looked at the schematic diagram of the battlefield carefully, and after a while, he said: "The church's direct army is at the back, and it looks a bit like a supervising team."

"That's correct." Cumberland zoomed in on the image to the back half of the battlefield and pointed to the church phalanx and said: "The Stigma Knights, the Baptist Knights, the Mardlings, etc., these troops The combat effectiveness is the strongest, but in my opinion, their main purpose is not to participate in the war, but to monitor."

　　 "Monitoring?"

Cumberland touched his chin and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, think about it, in these short years, the three kingdoms of Silver Circle, Twilight City, Holy Acropolis, and the Western Diocese have turned their backs and left one after another. For the church, this battle is not only to regain lost ground, but more importantly, to check whether there are unfaithful people in the remaining kingdoms."

　　 Todd understands the deep meaning of the other party's words.

"So, from the military line, it can be seen that there is a contradiction between the secular kingdom and the church in the coalition army, and according to my guess, the contradiction is not small. The specific reason should be related to the religious reform initiated by your majesty. The abolition of taxation and the protection of the royal power alone will allow these kings to re-examine the relationship between them and the church.” Cumberland raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: “If this contradiction can be magnified. , Or completely break the balance of contradictions, we can win this battle with minimal losses."

When Cumberland said this, he suddenly remembered something. He frowned and asked Todd: "Your Majesty, although the enemy has weaknesses, our army as the defender of the city also has weaknesses. You know our weaknesses are Where?"

　　 "We also have weaknesses?"

　　 Todd was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "You are referring to the army of the Holy City?"

　　 Cumberland nodded with joy. The king's gradual maturity and wise insights gave him a feeling of watching his disciples grow up.

"Your Majesty, you are right. Our weakness is these unstable troops in the Holy Acropolis. If I were the commander of the church coalition forces, I would do everything possible to contact the nobles in the upper city, to ambush the internal response, and to fight In the midst of a rebellion."

　　 Todd asked with a solemn expression, "So do we have any ways to deal with it?"

Cumberland nodded: "There are several ways. First, after the battle begins, I will separate and isolate the Holy Guards, and make sure that their combat positions will not affect the battle; second, Queen Mary persuades Lord Gordon, as the lord of White River City, the latter has a high reputation among the nobles. He can help us monitor the restless people in the city at all times; as for the third..."

　　 Seeing Cumberland hesitating, Todd was a little anxious: "What's the third?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, Rachel, the leader of the Alien Species Association, is indeed a resourceful commander. Under her command, the alien species in the city can even know which brick is hidden under the mouse. ..."

　　 Todd was a little strange, Cumberland’s slightly mocking tone: "Isn’t it a good thing that Rachel can launch the Alien Association~lightnovelpub.net~ to collect intelligence in the city?"

　　 Cumberland sighed slightly: "Your Majesty, you can regard this as the stubbornness and prejudice of an old man, but I always feel that the woman is hiding something. Honestly, I don't believe her."

Todd shook his head helplessly: "The war in the Holy Acropolis is very important to the kingdom. Any force that can provide help should not be ignored. I know that Rachel does show something at some point. "Mystery", but her loyalty to the kingdom can be trusted. However, Cumberland, you are the commander of the battlefield. I respect your judgment and opinion. If you think Rachel’s men cannot be trusted, Then use this power as an aid and use it carefully."

Cumberland chewed Todd's words, and after a while, he nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, I understand what you said. I will now return to the Holy Acropolis to prepare the battle plan. Every night after the war began. At this time, I will report to you the results of the day."

　　 Todd nodded, and instructed Huggins to copy some materials that Cumberland needed, and watched the two leave the soul space.

　　 "Your Majesty, do you have time?"

　　 The sweet female voice in his ear surprised Todd's heart. He turned his head with difficulty and saw the beautiful face of Queen Mary.

　　...
