791 Front
In the moonlight, the room where Santa Cruz was located fell silent again.
The corpse of the succubus demon posing as Crodo was gone, and even the bloodstains, the two of them helped him clean up.
He couldn't even believe that he could get a strange power.
When the man said the 'Inferior Knight Contract', he thought it would be a slave contract from the devil, and as long as he signed his name, he would be the slave of the other party for the rest of his life.
But unexpectedly, the person who contracted him was actually the very few holy warrior girl, Tina. Moreover, he also got the constitution of his own strength in his heart, and even got a strange power called the mission system.
The other even teaches themselves how to use this power.
He didn't know what a 'task system' was, a term that was esoteric to him, but he understood that as long as he followed what appeared above, he could grow quickly and without boundaries.
A place for a second-class knight, a future lord.
Such an investment is rare, but since Beta has hit it, of course it can't be let go.
The next day, the lord found that his 'second son' had disappeared. He sent people everywhere to look for it.
Santa Cruz is naturally also in the object of suspicion, but it is not very suspicious, after all, he has no strength, and he is under house arrest.
In addition, what frightened the lord was that the army he sent out last night had not yet returned.
The reason why he wanted to hold a banquet last night was because he thought he could kill the paladin woman secretly or bring it back.
Just when he was restless, the scouts sent out came back to report that a large number of corpses were found in the designated place, all of them soldiers.
Hearing this, the lord sat down in his chair.
After a long while, he said hatefully: "Prepare for war, buy a lot of food, weapons, and armor. ”
By this time, Beta and Tina had already left at night, taking the seriously wounded of the Holy Guard with them to the territory of the lord they believed.
After resting for a day and using magic to heal most of the wounded, they continued on their way, spending another two days on the front line.
Because it was a seven-party alliance, even if they reached the front line, they were still interrogated several times before they entered the camp of the Temple of Light.
The commander was Langas, a cardinal archbishop.
When he saw Tina and Beta, he smiled at Tina as a gesture of friendship.
But when facing Beta, his face was rather cold.
"I heard that you know the will of swordsmanship?"
Beta nodded, "Indeed." ”
"Teach our soldiers." Langyas said in a commanding tone.
Beta shook her head: "It's not that I don't want to teach, it's that ordinary people can't learn." ”
"Joke!" Langas scoffed: "You can learn even a magician, and there is no reason why a real warrior can't learn it." If they can't learn it, they're stupid. ”
Beta laughed: "Could it be that I'm too smart?" ”
Hearing such boastful words, Lang Yas was stunned for a moment, and then his face finally improved: "It's okay, a little confident." I heard that you have something to do with Tina, originally I was not very happy, after all, Tina is also a talent that our Sanctuary focuses on cultivating, even if you want to marry, you have to have our own family, how can we be cheap outsiders. ”
"But you also have a bit of momentum and ability, and with our Tina, it's not bad." He nodded: "Well, you've passed." ”
Tina was on the side, blushing a little.
Beta's face was full of helplessness. However, I don't want to refute it, since I want to use Tina's reputation in the Sanctuary to make things happen for myself, then of course this bit of gossip can be endured.
In the big tent, in addition to the three of them, there were other generals, most of whom were from the Holy Guard.
After all, the Priests of Light have always been cultivating and are concerned about the Goddess of Light, so of course they don't know how to fight.
Most of these Holy Guards were from the Sanctuary, and of course they knew Tina, and when they saw the latter's delicate expression on his face, he was extremely unhappy.
After coming out of the tent, Beta was challenged by several Holy Guards. Then Beta agreed to come down.
He doesn't like such a thing as being jealous. But in the barracks, the prestige that a formal duel can bring is not small. He couldn't ask for it.
These people also know that they can't win against Beta, but the other party is a man who can beat the holy knight, and they are definitely not opponents. But no matter what you say, many times, when the anger comes up, it doesn't care so much.
After dueling six times in one day and defeating six Paladinary generals, Beta slammed into a wave of prestige.
The most important thing is that Beta didn't use magic at all, he was just a wooden sword, and he was wheeled and still overturned six powerful generals.
Tina watched the spring on the sidelines, and any woman likes to see the person she likes, and she is 'jealous' for herself. They feel that this is a man who cares about himself.
And Beta, just to gain prestige.
Now in the army of the Temple of Light, almost everyone knows that there is a magician by Tina's side in the Sanctuary with a ridiculously strong melee strength.
So now Beta occasionally wanders around the tent, and many soldiers will show admiration when they see him.
During the day, Tina and Beta learned about the situation on both sides from Langas.
A seven-party alliance against the enemy's ten lords.
On his side, among all the forces, the Temple of Light sent the most troops, with nearly 200,000 troops, and a logistics supply line of about 100,000 people.
The other six lords had between 50,000 and 70,000 men each.
On the enemy's side, the exact number is unknown, but it is estimated that there should be about a million people.
In other words, the two sides combined, nearly two million people are fighting each other.
Two million people, on the left and right of the border line of the four territories, the battle line stretches for nearly a hundred kilometers.
The Temple of Light is responsible for a nearly twenty-kilometer battle line, and on the opposite side, is the enemy of the Grull Domain.
"From the point of view of intelligence, the other party is very good at infantry and cavalry coordinated combat." Langas was showing his subordinates the nearby terrain on the sand table and explaining the information he had gathered: "At the same time, they also have a lot of magic apprentices and magic elites. It's hard for us to tear the opponent's mouth with magic alone, but on the enemy's side, there will be a strong long-range attack ability. This must be noted. ”
"Now the enemy's troop transfer is still not complete, and so are we." Langas continued: "From the intelligence we have gathered before, we have the advantage in numbers, but we lack the means of reconnaissance. ”
"Take advantage of the number of people and press the past with dignity." One of the Holy Guard generals shouted: "We don't need intelligence, the enemy will surely be crushed by our offensive." ”
Both Langas and Beta frowned.
These Holy Guard generals have never fought a real big battle, and they still think that this is a small fight of hundreds or thousands of people?
The war of hundreds of thousands of people has no intelligence support, and the enemy's deployment does not understand, how to fight, how to press over.
But what is surprising is that more than half of the people in the camp think that this person is very reasonable.
"Does anyone else have a different opinion?" Langas asked.
No one answered, and Langyas's face was a little disappointed.
He found a big problem...... The generals of the Holy Guard seem to be people who have not been educated in the proper command of war.
"Assign me ten archers and ten thieves from the Inhuman Hall." Beta had to step up, saying, "I'll take them to gather information. ”
"Plus you're only twenty-one, what role can you make." Some generals are a little unhappy when they look at Beta.
"I can investigate how many nightingales you have lived from childhood to adulthood."
Beta said a little arrogantly. It's not that he wants to do this, but he knows very well that in the army, no one can afford to look down on the Svens.
As a general, if there is a conflict with other generals, you must be full of momentum and ruffian, otherwise you will not be able to suppress them at all.
"You ......" The general's face was extremely bad, and he was about to speak, but he thought that he was still pressed to the ground by Beta yesterday and rubbed against him, so he gave up his plan to continue to speak disrespectfully.
Langas looked at Beta, "Are you sure you know how to infiltrate and gather information?" ”
"I'm a magician, and I've done a lot of things like that." Beta replied with a smile.
"But in two days, we may be about to launch our first tentative attack."
"Two days? Enough is enough. ”
Looking at the confident Beta, Langas nodded and said, "I'll have people draw the people you need to come out in a while, don't let me down." ”
Beta smiled, not giving a military order, nor appearing lacking in confidence.
When he first arrived at the barracks, it was impossible for him to directly lead an army, after all, he was an outsider, and others were not at ease.
But if he has achieved a certain number of military achievements, then even Langyas will have to assign some soldiers to him to command.
Beta felt that with the war command ability he had honed in the game, as long as there were one or two thousand soldiers, especially cavalry, he would definitely be able to win quite a wonderful partial victory.
Out of the tent, Tina also came out and stood beside him: "Be careful yourself. ”
Although she was also confident in Beta's strength, in any case, Beta's going to spy on the enemy's intelligence was a very dangerous thing in itself, and she couldn't be completely worried.
"It's okay, if something really goes wrong, I'll hide in the mansion space by myself."
"Well, that's for the best."
The two stood and chatted for a while, and it wasn't long before ten archers and ten professionals came to Beta's side.
Then they immediately went out of their tents and advanced from the flank of the front line to the enemy's side.
Although it was daytime, it was difficult for the enemy to detect them from such a distance.
Besides, there is a Joan of Arc in the sky, and Beta can see the movement of nearby enemies. He knew very well whether he could move forward on his side.
Using trees and grass, they managed to touch about a kilometer from the front line of the enemy's army.
Hiding in a small wood, they waited quietly for the night to come.
Now that they are very close to the enemy, if they move again, they will be easily spotted, and they will have to wait until night.
