This is Sean's second time entering Tonis Fortress since coming to this world.

However, unlike the last time, this time Sean entered the fortress from the inner city, and this time he entered the fortress from the outer city.

Contrary to what was expected, the gates of the outer city were still open, and there were only twenty soldiers on duty, ten on each side. Outside the city gate, there is a fence to resist horses, four rows on the left and right, with a distance of less than 50 centimeters from each other, and they are fixed to the ground with chain nails, leaving only a small path in the middle that leads directly to the city gate and can probably only accommodate three people walking together. It seems to be more sleek and disciplined than the last time Sean went out of the city, maybe someone really knocked on the Seventh Legion after that.

Sean entered the city this time, and there were no accidents, everything was carried out according to the rules.

Dismounting, queuing, and paying the entrance fee, except for some hostile glances that occasionally swept over him, no one was so unavoidable to come up to Sean for trouble. As for these gazes, most of them immediately retracted when they were at the touch of Sean's eyes, and they didn't dare to look at each other, looking a little afraid of Sean.

Of course, Sean knew that he was the most unpopular person in the Seventh Legion in the outer city, and he was afraid that he didn't have the word one.

It's just that if he were asked to do it again, he would still choose to kill those two lower silver masters, which is nothing to talk about, after all, those people have already touched Sean's scales.

After entering the city, Sean did not stay here in the outer city, but immediately stepped on his horse and hurried towards the inner city.

From Mordg's side, after breaking up with Rena and Alfred, Sean wasted no time rushing to Tonys' Fortress. It took about a month to get from Tonys Fortress to Panda Territory, and that was the result of crossing the Blackreef Steppe and the entire Sa'Of Territory. If you want to go through the official route, it will take more than two months with the size of the army, but if you send troops directly from the fortress of Tonys to invade the territory of Modg, it will only take less than a month.

In fact, Sean said that if he couldn't see Elsie in a month, he would set foot on the Mordeg Territory, but this time was actually just to order the Boulder family to hand over people, and the real time to start the war could not be as soon as the time limit was up. Regardless of Asuna's reaction and attitude, William's side will need at least a month of preparation, mainly to determine the logistics supply route and the safety of the route. After all, the food problem is one of the most important things in the march of an army.

Regardless of where Sean intends to use the Iron Wings army, William must prepare a logistical plan of action.

The sooner these things are prepared, the faster the speed of the march and battle will naturally be.

After entering the inner city. Sean didn't make any stops, and ran directly to the city lord's mansion.

But at the gate of the castle lord's mansion. Sean was surprised to see someone who wasn't supposed to be here.

Elizabeth.

"You're here." I saw Sean with a stunned face. Elizabeth had a smile on her face, which was very charming.

However, when he heard Elizabeth's words, Sean showed a helpless wry smile: "It seems that I am looked down upon by the Marquis." ”

The smile on Elizabeth's face was still charming, and she didn't take Sean's words.

But in fact, Elizabeth clearly remembers when Sean declared war on the Boulder family. Asuna said something to her personally.

"After half a month, you will wait outside the city lord's mansion every day, if Sean comes, you can lend him what he needs, and everything is subject to his arrangement. If he did go to war with the Boulders and didn't come to me. Then Sean is not worth my attention. A person who clearly knows where his limits are is is far better than a person who is gifted and powerful, because the former will always know how to get the best benefits. …… So if Sean comes to me, then I believe he can give me an excuse in two years, but if he doesn't come to me, then it's no longer worth bothering to pay attention to him. ”

At this moment, Sean appeared outside the door of the City Lord's Mansion.

And Elizabeth only started to stand outside the mansion and wait for Sean today.

What happened next was so smooth that Sean felt an incredible degree. Originally, Sean thought that Asuna would send reinforcements of 5,000 soldiers, which was already very good, but he didn't expect that the entire Thundering Edge would be directly appointed to join this war, and there were 10,000 mixed infantry as reserve troops, which was completely beyond Sean's expectations.

But what contrasts with this surprise is that Elizabeth is not the commander of this army. Sean had long known that Asuna would not be able to lead the troops in person, but he guessed that Elizabeth should take over, but he didn't expect that it would be the least obvious of the three female magicians under Asuna's command, in terms of reputation and strength.

Thunder Shine Light, Simi. Havis.

This is a field nobleman with the title of viscount, but nominally a field nobleman, but in reality she has never visited her territory once, and has stayed in Tonis Fortress all the time, just like her two companions. Purely in terms of strength, although Simi is also the pinnacle of a top-ranking silver, she is actually the weakest of the four including Asuna, but Simi, who was born in the Orthodox Magic Academy of the Maggie Empire, has a solid basic knowledge that completely surpasses the other two companions.

It's just that as an academic magician, there is usually a bad problem, that is, the lack of actual combat experience. At this point, even after fighting with Asuna for so many years, Simi still hasn't made much progress, so she definitely needs to be guarded when casting spells - in the past, Vivien or Asuna were in charge of this job, but when she lent Simi to Sean, Elizabeth had already made it clear that Sean would be responsible for Simi's safety.

This made Sean's head suddenly turn into two big.

After a brief introduction, Elizabeth left Simi and Sean behind, and left the Lord's Mansion, looking very busy.

"Asuna-sama and Elizabeth-sama have been busy dealing with the military fields lately." As if to see Sean's doubts, Simi opened his mouth to explain.

Simi is a woman who looks a little gentle.

She has chestnut over-the-shoulder hair. In terms of appearance, he is not as glamorous as Elizabeth, but he can only be said to have very clean facial features, and he is roughly the same type of person as Rena. However, because Simi is a magician who specializes in pedantry, her skin is naturally very fair and delicate, and only Cecilia can compete with her in terms of skin, and Elizabeth is slightly inferior, not to mention Rena's mercenary who is often active in the sun.

Since Simi had been wearing that dark purple magical robe for many years, her figure remained a mystery to this day, and it was said that even the closest people such as Elizabeth and Asuna had never seen her. But there's something really intoxicating about sit. Or the intellectual temperament she reveals when she wears glasses, a kind of coldness and Elizabeth charm that is completely different from Asuna, makes her one of the most distinctive women in the entire Tonis collar.

Sean's gaze only lingered on Simi's body, and he glanced at it from an appreciative angle. They no longer stared at each other, but looked at each other. It was a ceremonial expression among the aristocracy. It's just that Simi does seem to be more shy than he thinks. Just by making eye contact with Sean, her face quickly turned red, like a ripe apple.

"Juntian?" Sean was a little curious, "Can Tonis Fortress reclaim the military fields?" ”

"In the outer defense area, an experimental field has been cultivated. There is a river vein next to the fortress of Tonys, and Lord Asuna draws water from the river by digging a well to irrigate it. Although it is more laborious, if this experimental field is successfully cultivated, the food problem of Tonys Fortress can complete the initial self-sufficiency. Simi heard about Sean from Elizabeth and took him as one of her own. "But it's just self-sufficient, and if you really go into a wartime alert situation, you still need to buy a lot of food from the rear and transport it." …… Moreover, due to the special situation of the fortress, it can only be cultivated for a maximum of two times a year. ”

Sean nodded, not delving into the issue. He only knew that the situation of Tonys Fortress back then was set by the system, and even if the player wanted to fight, although he also needed to prepare for the logistics problem, it was far less cumbersome than this real world, usually the logistics route was automatically set by the system, and many things were much simpler. It was only after coming to this real world that Sean discovered those things that were truly different, and naturally he had some vision and insight that were different from the game.

It's not just that the world is changing, Sean is also constantly changing.

"The preparation for the battle of Thundering Blade will probably take about five to ten days." Simi didn't continue to go deeper on the topic of the military field, and changed the topic as soon as he opened his mouth, which was not as tactful, but a little stiff, but he was used to the directness of the soldiers, and of course Sean would not have any unusual feelings, "The preparation of military rations is probably enough to last about twenty days, I have calculated the itinerary, if you advance in a rapid march, you can enter the Mordeg territory in about thirteen days, and after a day's rest, launch an attack on the fifteenth day, and it is expected to fully conquer the Mordeg territory within five days." …… Of course, provided that the size of the enemy's forces is not too large, and if we are forced to drag ourselves into the quagmire of war, then we will withdraw on the eighteenth day and join up with the troops responsible for logistics and support in the rear, and then we will consider the long term. ”

Listening to Simi's calculations, Sean felt dumbfounded.

However, from this, he also heard the arrogance of Asuna's troops, and actually planned to completely conquer the entire Mordeg territory in five days, which Sean couldn't say. Although he knew that the Mordeg Territory did not have a garrison, it was naturally impossible for the other lords around him to see Sean easily defeat this territory, and he would definitely reinforce the Mordeg Territory, and judging from the topography of the Mordeg Territory, as long as there were more than 5,000 troops, relying on Blackstone Town, it could be temporarily arranged into a military stronghold, and if he wanted to forcibly attack, it would be impossible to take it without paying some price.

Five thousand troops, for those lords around the Mordeg Territory, they can still pull it together.

"There's no hurry." Although Sean felt that this was worthy of Asuna's army and generals, he still refused, "We have to wait for one more news, only when this news is real, we can start a war to completely annex the Mordeg Territory." …… Therefore, the current situation of the war, as long as it can be delayed, we will delay it for as long as possible, if the enemy knows now that Lord Asuna intends to send troops to reinforce me, the other party will definitely choose to compromise rather than fight with us. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Simi understood Sean's concerns, so he nodded and said, "I understand." So you want me to do that? Asuna-sama has already commanded, and I will cooperate with your plan throughout this battle plan. ”

"In that case, then Lord Simi might as well go back to the territory with me first, and here will also secretly reserve supplies for the time being, don't alarm anyone, I'm afraid that the news will be leaked to let the other party know our plans."

Simi was also simply, and directly agreed: "Okay! (To be continued.) )

PS: I still owe four chapters, so let's sleep first.
