Lich Bard snorted, "My proposal is perfect, you are too radical! you are using your influence to bewitch Lord Golia!"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Mr. Bud, are you too conservative?"

In fact, in all fairness, the plan given by Bard to occupy the village first to accumulate strength, and finally fight against Silver Star City is very feasible, and the victory rate for the Death Nation camp is also extremely high.

However, this strategy still followed the old path of killing all civilians as cannon fodder, which was contrary to the purpose of Bai Xiaowen's founding of the Cursed Sect.

In addition, there is another point, that is, Bai Xiaowen has a very limited time to do this mission of "Battle of Silver Star Island" - the White Phoenix team only has about a week to stay in the Aaron Plane World! This task must be completed within a week!

If you use Lich Bard's proposal and slowly accumulate the strength of the Undead Legion, let alone a week, you may not be able to complete the task in a month.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen will not say these reasons explicitly.

Bard sneered, "Am I conservative?Dio Skelboom, how long have you lived, and how long have I lived?Don't take ignorance for courage and steadfastness for cowardice." Young man, you still have a lot to learn. ”

The corners of Bai Xiaowen's mouth twitched:

"Mr. Bud, you've been living for hundreds of years, you've basically been a prisoner, aren't you? you're surrounded by unintelligent undead, and your intelligence has obviously deteriorated, and you don't understand the way of thinking of living beings, and you're too short-sighted. ”

"The plan to storm Silver Star City is indeed difficult for an old guy with a poor imagination like you to succeed. But under my command, it will be easy to capture Silver Star City! Remember, this is the gap between you and me in terms of command ability and command art, and I will not accept any refutation. ”

The Lich Bard was furious, "It's unreasonable! I'll accuse you of Lord Goliath, arrogant human!"

......

When Bai Xiaowen and the lich Bud went to the hut at the entrance of the village to see Golia, suddenly a small figure came out like a frightened fawn, it was the little girl Sonya, who almost hit Bud's skeleton body.

Originally, with the spirit sensing ability of Lich Bud, he would have discovered this little girl early, but in front of him was Golia's room, and out of respect for his master, he didn't dare to release the spirit scan, which is why he was so embarrassed.

"Hmph," Bud, who was already angry, looked at the little girl's two soul fires fluctuating slightly, and the skull jaw closed one by one: "Little girl who doesn't know whether to live or die." A skeletal staff clutched on the bone claw of his right hand faintly shone with cold energy, and an energy-absorbing technique was struck.

Bai Xiaowen reacted extremely quickly, and with a wave of his hand, the butcher blocked the path of the energy absorption technique, ate this basic spell, and then the giant serpent scepter slammed into the head of the lich Bud.

"You're crazy!"

Startled, the Lich Bud quickly retreated to dodge, then became furious, "You actually attacked your colleague for the sake of a little human girl?"

Bai Xiaowen crossed his arms and squinted at Bud: "Be honest, lich." I've killed more than one guy of your strength...... Marcus remember, well, there's a guy named Kyle, who's your cellmate. ”

"You ......" Bard was like a balloon punctured by a needle, and his momentum instantly shortened. He once saw the White Phoenix Squad fighting against the Dragonborn monsters in the Dragon's Tomb, and he was actually very jealous of this young human in his heart. Otherwise, a lich would have been taunted like this, and Bard would have done it a long time ago.

"Thank you...... Archbishop Dior!" The little girl Sonia was obviously frightened, and after saluting Bai Xiaowen, she ran away. In front of Golia's door, only the tense White Phoenix Squad and the Lich Bud remained.

Fortunately, at this moment, Goliath's voice rang out:

"Come in. ”

Bud had a staircase, and quickly agreed to push the door in. Bai Xiaowen and the other three followed.

Gloria sat on a worn wooden bench with a wreath of flowers in her fingertips. There were only a few small petals on the wreath, apparently woven from small wildflowers on the side of the road.

The freshly picked wildflowers themselves are still fresh, but under the infection of the ubiquitous death energy in Golia's body, the small wildflowers are slowly withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hearing the door slam, Goliath twisted her fingers slightly, and the withered wreath broke like ashes and fell like ashes.

"You seem to have discussed the results. Gloria's cold voice rang out.

"I'm sorry, Mistress Goliath. Our solutions are very different, and neither of them can convince the other side. Bai Xiaowen shrugged.

Bud said the opinions of the two of them in a sullen voice, and of course he described Bai Xiaowen's proposal in a slanderous tone as much as possible. However, Bai Xiaowen is very calm - to be precise, he is confident in his ability to fool, even if Goliath accepted Bard at the beginning, he was sure to break it back.

Gloria listened quietly, and spoke after Bard had finished speaking:

"Dior, how sure are you in attacking Silver Star City. ”

"I need to understand the situation of Silver Star City first, the information collected at present is not enough, I can only confirm the strength of Silver Star City on the surface," Bai Xiaowen didn't brag either, and told the truth, "Those strong people hidden among the civilians are not easy to confirm, but if the total number of leader-level powerhouses does not exceed eight, I have a chance of winning more than ninety percent." ”

On the bright side, the standing army of Silver Star City is about 2,000 people, and on the strong side, there are Lord Aldington, Chief Mage Morrow, and the commander of the city guard, Murat. This information was collected from the villagers of Mangni Village, and Golia and the others knew about it.

"Hmph, bragging, anyone will say it. Bard the Lich muttered.

Goliath nodded slightly: "Then prepare for battle according to Dio's plan, directly occupy Silver Star City, and then attack the surrounding villages and towns." Bard!"

The Lich is a spirit.

"From now on, Dio is in command of the Legion of the Dead, and you must fully cooperate with his actions! Other than that...... You are not allowed to interfere with the actions of Dio to establish the Cursed Sect. ”

Lich Bard was silent for a few seconds: "Yes, master. ”

Bai Xiaowen took the opportunity to say: "Then please Mr. Bard first promise that without my consent, you will not deliberately kill any human being." ”

Bai Xiaowen immediately added fuel and vinegar to tell Golia about the scene at the door, and finally made a generous statement:

"That little girl named Sonya, she and her family are the first batch of believers to join the sect, and they are of great significance to the sect, and they are equivalent to a weather vane for the other villagers! If Mr. Bud really kills her, the newly established sect will easily fall apart, and no one wants to stay in a sect organization that may kill him at any time. ”

Bard said angrily: "We are the undead, they are the living!

"Bard, don't kill civilians indiscriminately without my orders, that's an order. Disobey my will and it means the end of your soul. Goliath said simply.

"Yes. Bud said, bowing his head.

Gloria's threat was domineering and effective, and she stood up:

"Alright, Dio is ready to attack Silverstar City, and Bard will assist you. ”

"Yes. Bai Xiaowen agreed, and exited the hut with Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi.

Bud didn't leave in the first place.

"What's wrong?" Goliath glanced at the lich.

"Master, I have some ideas that I would like to report to you. ”

"Let's be brief. ”

"Don't you think that Dio Skellum is not a human to be trusted?" said Bard sinisterly, "after all, he is a human, and he is not the same as us undead creatures. This can be seen in the strategy he developed, as well as in his protection of humanity. I feel that sooner or later he will betray us, so it is better to get him out before it is too soon to keep the kingdom of the dead pure. ”

"Finished?" Goliath glanced at Lich Budd.

"Hmm. Bud was a little apprehensive, unsure of what Golia was thinking.

"I see. Stand down. Gloria waved her hand.

Bard couldn't figure out Golia's thoughts, so he could only quietly retreat.

......

Silver Star City.

The ancient city is hundreds of years old, existing before the Lionheart Empire unified the continent of Aaron, when the knight lord Kevinders conquered the north and divided Silverstar Island to the reclusive knight Aldington.

So far, the Aldington family has continued to rule on Silver Star Island for more than three hundred years.

This generation of Lord Aldington is an out-and-out madman, Bai Xiaowen suspects that he has a high degree of persecution paranoia, and in this kind of Silver Star Island, where birds don't poop and has a strait as a natural barrier, he actually built the main city into a war fortress.

On the ten-meter-high wall, crossbows were lined up on the battlements on both sides of the gate, an arrow tower rose every ten steps, and armored Crucifer soldiers patrolled the city wall.

This battle was much tighter than the garrison of the northern county town.

However, the fact that the lord himself is a war maniac does not mean that all subordinate soldiers are crazy. There had been no war in Silver Star City for decades, and the soldiers of the Crucifixion could not be consistently vigilant, taking those patrols as an example, their patrols were basically to cope with errands, similar to the laid-back mentality of clocking in at work and then having a newspaper and a cup of tea.
