Artoria was really busy during this time, so she found a place to have a good time as soon as she finished the battle.

When Lu Xi and his friends and volunteers went south into the mountains near the Iron Rock Canyon, according to the instructions he left behind, the Seven Yao Aurora was also temporarily lent to Artoria for use. Of course, this natural little lion may be a genius in martial arts, and in addition to the charm and popularity of the aura, this kind of person is usually known as the "natural king" in the legends and stories that have been handed down to later generations, which means that in fact, the ability in all aspects is average, but the charm value is very high, so he has to be the boss. In this case, of course, this Nord knight princess can't be as "self-taught" as the genius Tsugashi, who can command a floating battleship as soon as she comes up, and even this is the first time in her life that she has taken a floating ship.

Fortunately, Lu Xi has already seen through it. As a result, there is also a group of excellent crew members from the Eastern Legion that Lu Xi has dug from the Eastern Legion on the Qiyao Aurora, as well as a Captain Grant. Artoria only needs to take a group of powerful Nord warriors and honestly be a quiet beautiful girl on the ship, waiting to be transported to the sky above the war zone.

The rebellion of the Nikiantes, of course, could not succeed under the overwhelming strength advantage of the Nords, but with the wild terrain of Niru, this group of Nikiantes, who are good at guerrilla cavalry shooting, may really force the Nord counterinsurgency army to adopt a step-by-step tactic, and maybe it will really take a year and a half with this group of strong northern pure masters. However, with the storage of the Qiyao Aurora, the development of events is naturally very different.

The future empress of the Nord people fell from the sky like Valkyrie, worshipped by the Nord people. Artoria and her Nord warriors, who were no more than fifty men, seemed to be possessed by the soul of the human hope army in Lu Xi's hometown. Completed the first airdrop decapitation operation in the history of the world. The leaders of the various Niru tribes who were swearing to defeat the "tyranny" of the Nord were all wiped out in an instant, and the young Niru King. That is, the Duke of Niru, who was canonized by the Nord Imperial Court, was also taken as a prisoner of war by Artoriana. This "rarely has great ambitions". The young leader, who was ambitious to establish an independent kingdom independent of the two major forces of the orcs and the Nords, took it for granted that he could become the founding king of the new Niru kingdom, the son of the plane, when Artoria's sword of victory pressed against his neck, he completely shrunk completely. In essence, this ambitious and talented Duke Niru is basically just a prince who has never seen a war.

The Nikianthal rebels, deprived of their unified leadership, were soon crushed to the ground by the prepared Nord soldiers, and Artoria made the greatest feat in one fell swoop. The prestige and authority of the future Empress of the Empire, Artoria relied on for the first time on actual achievements. And the aura of natural favorability of non-beautiful girls is established.。

"With Lu Xi's ship, I originally thought that this raid would go smoothly." The knight princess said in a very serious tone while rummaging through the roast mutton on the shelf: "Actually, before we broke into the mansion of Duke Niru, we were quite smooth, but when we rushed in, we encountered a very powerful spellcaster. It seems to be a magic advisor or something he hired. ”

"Spellcaster? Magic Advisor? Lu Xiqi said: "Wouldn't it be an anti-system element who was born in the Academic Alliance but was bullied by the evil society and absolutely took revenge on the society, right?" ”

"I don't understand what Lu Xi said...... Artoria smiled shyly, "But I'm sure that guy wasn't born in the Academic Alliance, and the magic he uses is completely different from Lu Xi's." I guess it's some kind of demonic magic...... Whining. Why do you have such an expression? It's like, hell. ”

“…… Because my Artoria shouldn't be so smart, right? Lu Xi's eyes widened and he looked at the knight princess, as if he was meeting each other for the first time, "Magic is such a thing, a thing that Xueba plays." How can a natural stay understand? By the way, Artoria can even recognize the type of magic, so she must have been possessed by some strange dirty thing, right? Or maybe you've been studying hard lately so your skills have improved a lot? Artoria, who has become a top student, is not fun at all. It's sure to shatter everyone's dreams. ”

“…… Although I still didn't understand what Lu Xi said, I always felt that the malice was obvious. Artoria blushed. He raised his head angrily and looked at Lu Xi angrily, "I've seen demonic magic many times." The underground tombs of the ancestors, and the jungles of Serokhya...... Although, although I also admit that I really don't know anything about magic, I can still recognize the energy composition after so many encounters, right? ”

This makes sense. With Artoria's strength today, even if she is natural, scumbag, and ignorant of magic, she still has a lot of spiritual sense and perception, and of course, she can identify the type of magic through the different energy composition methods of different types of magic. Of course, she certainly didn't know about such particularly academic terms as "surgical composition" and "elemental arrangement".

"Humans who use demonic magic? That guy is a cultist? ”

"I don't know." Artoria shook her head: "That magic advisor is very strong, and he killed three Nord warriors with black flames in front of him, and I was worried that the casualties would be too great, so I dragged him out of the court alone." Speaking of this, she raised her head again and glanced at Lu Xi with a grateful and sweet gaze: "Come to think of it, if it weren't for your help, if it weren't for the power of the Atlas Holy Pattern, I wouldn't be that person's opponent at all." ”

“…… That is, at least a Golden Tier 5 or even Tier 6 cultist? In the Ryurhuo Sect, it should at least be a high-level priest or something. Lu Xi pondered, "Speaking of which, it should not be the only weapons that Karin sent to support the Nikianthal rebellion. ”

"Weapons? Lu Xi, what kind of weapon are you talking about. ”

"No, I'm talking about aconitum, I'll get some aconitum to cook fish soup for you later. It's delicious and warms you up. Lu Xi didn't care that it was summer at all, and opened his eyes and said nonsense. Fortunately, Artoria, who was a natural stay, didn't care at all, but showed a very expectant look. Again, that's the same sentence. The concept of happiness of foodies is really clear at a glance.

Karin couldn't have gotten involved with the cultists, but they all chose to support the Nikianthal rebellion, was it just a simple coincidence, or was it some strange big move? This is something that needs to be pondered.

"Because that cultist is so powerful, Artoria used the Seal Charm...... Ah no, it's the small universe that has exploded, and from then on, you can freely release the glorious sword qi of the Sword of Oath Victory everywhere, is that what it means? ”

“…… It was only after activating the Atlas Holy Pattern that I suddenly felt it. The continuity between himself and the Sword of Oath Victory has become even closer. In the past, when I released the Brilliant Sword Qi, I completely relied on the power of the sword itself, but at that time, I could feel the power fluctuations and energy composition contained in the Brilliant Sword Qi, so I tried to simulate it with anger, and it was really successfully released. The cultist seemed to be intimidated, and was beheaded by the sudden sword aura. Of course, now that I think about it, I still didn't have enough power to control the sword qi at that time. Otherwise, you will definitely be left alive. Artoria looked unsettled.

"Since he is a cultist with secondary disease, the brain circuit must be different from that of us normal people, and even if he is alive, it is unlikely that he will get testimony. Maybe there's something going on. Lu Xi thought of the cultist leader he met in the Forbidden Forest, who had obviously been defeated, but he had actually liberated a large group of demons with his last bit of mental strength. It is completely a heroic spirit that would rather die than give in, and would rather be straight and crooked. It's a pity that it's in the wrong direction.

After this terrifying obsession is turned into substantive action, it is also so deep and gloomy that it makes people's hearts palpitate. Lu Xi has never understood the thoughts of these people: people with such persistence and will. No matter what you do, you can succeed, why not find a suitable position and create a good career? Even if you are persecuted, you can take revenge, maybe future generations will make up a heroic image that will be transmitted through the ages because of your deeds, so why do you have to be a funny cultist to take revenge on society?

"After that cultist is killed, the guards around Duke Niru are even less of an opponent. These nomads may be good at grazing and hunting, but they are not opponents at all when they fight this kind of hard battle. Artoria smiled, "We quickly took Duke Niru and forced down his direct troops. The rest of the Nikiante rebels were leaderless and were quickly wiped out. I originally thought that this rebellion might last for a few months, but I didn't expect that it would only take about ten days in total, Lu Xi, if it weren't for your Qiyao Aurora, we would never have been able to do this. ”

The Nikianthal rebellion was quelled, and a large number of troops who had been preparing to march to the Niru steppe and the rebels to play hide and seek received orders to turn south before they could reach their intended location. Char's uncle got a fresh force from the country, plus the 30,000 federal troops that had been thrown into the territory of the allies by the federal high command, and the total strength of Virgia and the Federation in the Great Lakes region suddenly exceeded 200,000, and even launched a full-scale attack.

The orcs only put up a symbolic resistance, and had to evacuate completely. The Khan of the Burning Blade Clan, Asog "Dragonheart", gathered together the troops who had retreated from the Great Lakes, and ordered all his tribal forces stationed in the Ironstone Gorge, the Namoya Mountains, and the Black Earth Hills to return to Orgrimmar.

When the defeated orcs and undead army under the Black City really collapsed and returned to the Iron Fist Fortress, all they saw should be an empty city. Of course, they will never have the chance to return to Orgrimmar. If Uncle Char wasn't stupid, he must have already laid a net on the front line of the Night Wolf Hill, and he would definitely not let any enemy go. Doing everything possible to combat the living force of the orcs has always been the national policy of the Virgians, and Lu Xi believes that even the pure Nords who are full of discipline will be very satisfied with the work of beating the water dogs.

After the counterinsurgency was completed, Artoria rode the Aurora Aurora, the main force of the floating fleet belonging to the Eastern Legion, and headed for the direction of Black Mancheng. During this period, of course, they still encountered the air forces of the coalition forces such as the undead Sky Whale Zombie, the Bone Dragon, the Necromantic Knight, the Black Death Crow, and the Orc Flying Dragoon.

However, it is impossible for Saint Seiya to suffer two losses under the same trick. This floating fleet. Naturally, the forces were far inferior to the expeditionary fleet that had been set on fire at the Battle of Farahals, but the personnel were much more capable and good at fighting. They are all veterans who have been on the eastern frontier all year round, and often recruit small troops with Black Flag Winged bandits, wandering orcs, and undead. The toughest of the Arras was even more in the year before the big one. Approaching the sky less than a kilometer away from the dark canopy protecting the Henas Peninsula, he used the magic crystal cannon to gather fire on seven or eight undead dragons that rushed out to meet him, and then swaggered back to the heroic warship of the Federation. The captain of the hero ship of the year, and now the commander of the fleet, the "Red Thunderlight" Leonhardt? Brigadier General Asterray, the ability to fight with soldiers is not necessarily better than that of Sherman, who has already died in battle? Marshal Conrad is clever, but the latter is nothing more than a rabble of unseen road specimens and noble gatekeepers.

In short, such a small one. But the fleet, which can be called the elite soldiers of the Federation from the commander to the soldiers, and the addition of Lu Xi's black technology ship soon surprised the air power of the undead and orcs. As long as the floating warships give full play to their speed, ceiling, and the range of the main gun, they naturally don't have to worry about the enemy's tricks.

According to Lu Xi's assumption, this "small-scale" floating fleet should resist Black Man City in early August. At that time, even if the city can't be defended, he can take Sai Xiliu and them to board the Seven Yao Aurora and escape.

Yes. You heard it right, it's just running away. As a glorious and great dead house, how could Lu Xi have the spirit of fearless sacrifice that would die with the city? If he wasn't sure what to do, how could he easily step on a dangerous terrain? Of course. A guy like Lu Xi, who calculates everything and would definitely be called a "revolutionary opportunist" in the vigorous era of his hometown, has now really become an undoubted hero of the Federation. Sure enough, it can only show that both the era and the history. In many cases, there is actually no discipline than the Silicone novel.

In short, under the planning of the "grand strategist" Lu Xi. The strategic advantage that the Orcs and the Undead Allied had gained in the Battle of Farahals turned into a floating cloud, and even more were lost. More than a dozen clans, including Shatterfist, Frostfang, and other clans with extremely high prestige in the Orgrimmar Wasteland, have been devastated, and the Great Lakes region has no troops to defend, so they can only abandon the Turtle Retreat Wasteland. "Dragon's Heart" Asog's painstaking victory was easily buried by his pig teammates, will the most colorful orc khan in history be like thunder or will he be tired and unloved? It's better to do something else, but it's worth looking forward to.

I'll have to be observant. Lu Xi thought.

On the other hand, the prestige that the Federation had lost after the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Farahal had been regained a lot in the battle of Tongguò, and although its position in the eyes of the countries of the Dragon's Claw Peninsula and the Black Earth Hills had been dealt a certain blow, it would not lose its right to speak. But even so, the lost battleship is still a pile of broken copper and iron, and the dead soldiers cannot be resurrected. After this war, the loss of troops and warships of the Federation may not be able to recover for several years, but the pensions that must be paid to the soldiers and officers who died in battle, especially those of the aristocratic and wealthy families, will probably deal no less blow to the federal finances than another Battle of Farahals.

The only one who will benefit the most from this great war may be Artoria's Virgian Empire. The Nords' nemesis, the Orcs have lost a lot of vital strength, and if they don't collapse all at once, they will not be able to threaten the eastern frontier of the Vigians for a long time. With such prerequisites, the Virginia Empire was able to have a more relaxed external condition to absorb the Great Lakes, the largest grain-producing region north of the Namoa Mountains. Once this area falls under the control of the Nords, the Virginia Empire's national strength will be unprecedentedly strengthened, and it will have the strength to go south again and compete with the Holy Auckland Empire for continental supremacy.

However, whether it is to fill the immigrants, to pass through the local aborigines, to exterminate the water bandits, to repair the fortresses, and to establish a new frontier defense system, it is necessary to invest a lot of manpower and material resources. The Nords probably won't have time for a long time, and they won't be able to dry up the situation in Auckland, which is in the midst of a civil war.

It doesn't matter, even if that's the case, Artoria's ghost father and sisters will thank me. Of course, Karin would be more grateful to me. Everyone is happy, and the world is peaceful.

At that moment. Lu Xi really has a kind of strategy, and he can win thousands of miles away. The feeling that the nations are dancing in the palms of their hands. No wonder so many people like the taste of hiding behind the scenes and being a big boss, not because they don't want to graduate from secondary school and second disease. It's because it's so sour, it's so addictive.

Lu Xi wanted to look up to the sky and laugh for a few minutes, but thinking that there was a cute natural knight princess in front of him, he decided to restrain himself. At this time, Artoria saw that Lu Xi had been "pondering", but in fact, she was secretly cool, so she decided not to bother him very considerately, and began to tear up the remaining half of the roast mutton, it seemed that she was really hungry.

Think about it. Artoria has actually had a hard time during this time. First of all, he ran more than 1,000 kilometers north by boat, parachuted in the head of the rebels to play a decapitation operation, and just after the end, he ran more than 2,000 kilometers south by boat, and then came to the airborne again. In fact, the knight princess did not have to come to Heimancheng in person, whether it was victory or defeat, her own combat effectiveness would not have a decisive impact at all, but she still rushed over in person despite the fatigue and pain of the journey and the continuous battle. If you want to say why. Naturally, everyone knows it.

Lu Xi said that he was very moved, and when he saw the obvious tired expression on Artoria's delicate and beautiful face, his eyes couldn't help but burn a lot.

The knight princess, who was struggling against a leg of mutton, obviously felt the blazing rays released from the opposite side. In the face of the rain of guns and arrows, she would not be shaken at all, and completely buried her face behind the leg of mutton. The white cheeks seemed to be bloodshot, and a little water vapor almost came out.

But. Even when she was so shy that she was restless, her mouth movements did not stop at all. The tender roast of the fat girl on the leg of lamb. It is rapidly decreasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

"Artoria...... Thank you for your hard work. Also, thank you. Lu Xi said in a sincere tone.

"Hmm......" the knight princess swallowed the meat in her mouth hard. showed a shy smile: "Lu Xi is working harder than me, right?" Without your scheme, we would not have been able to achieve such a brilliant victory; And without your courage and hard work, once the Black Man City is lost, all our strategic goals will not be achieved. The best outcome would be to barely maintain the Great Lakes front...... What's more, during this period of fighting, I have made myself stronger. I should have thanked you. ”

If Lu Xi is a very aggressive playboy type character, he must say, "Then how are you going to thank me?" I remember the last time you said it was an adult's kiss and continued. How do we proceed? Lu Xi really thought so, but when the words came to his lips, they became: "Artoria inspired me." The combat skills and magic that come with the Brilliant Artifact are very powerful, and if we can completely parse out its power structure or spell composition, and use our own abilities to use it, our strength will definitely go to the next level. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xi had an urge to hit the wall with his head, but Artoria put down the roast leg of lamb and nodded seriously: "Well, I think so too, so I have been trying to train my control power all this time." If you can't even control the strength of your martial arts, it will definitely not be your own strength. Well, people like us, who rarely have more power than ordinary people, must take on the responsibility of protecting ordinary people, so we must hone ourselves all the time. Lu Xi really thinks the same way, right? Well, it's you. ”

Artoria's smile was like a diamond shining in the light, dazzling, brilliant, awe-inspiring and yet pure. She is the princess of the Northern Empire, and she has been the proud daughter of heaven since she was born, but even so, she still can't see any dark elements in her. She hopes to protect the weak with her own strength and make the world a better place.

Perhaps, it is because of such persistence that the knight princess will reach today's strength at a young age. People who are weak and gloomy in their hearts will say with envy and hatred: "The Atlas Holy Tattoo and the Sword of Victory of the Oath are both external forces, what kind of ability can be relied on by external forces!" But I don't want to think about how many fools in this world have lost their minds and even distorted their souls by the so-called "external forces".

Suddenly, I found that I liked Artoria more and more. What's more, a good girl like this is obsessed with herself. Lu Xi said that even such vanity is enough to make him feel that "the Sprinkle family is worth it in this life".

"That's right...... I just got the news before I rushed over. Well, I think I should talk to Lu Xi. Artoria seemed to think of something, said a sentence incoherently, and then looked up at Lu Xi's eyes again, and then hesitated, just like all ordinary girls who are jealous, suddenly puffed out her mouth, and said angrily: "This...... Forget it, it's better not to sue you. ”

"What the hell, what are you trying to say? If you don't want to sue me, don't say it in the first place, but now I'm more curious. Lu Xi couldn't cry or laugh.

"Uh......h Well, Lu Xi, you and the princess of Auckland...... Well, that is, Katrina? Sanskrit? His Highness Dimahia...... Do you have a good relationship? (To be continued......)

PS: I almost thought I couldn't catch up...... Whew......
