Roland was sitting in his office, listening to the information coming back from the front. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Silver...... Hiss...... The city of light has lowered the drawbridge...... Hiss...... We're ...... Entrance to the church...... Hiss ......"

"Got it, stay safe. Nightingale replied.

"It seems that this is the limit distance," Roland spread out the map and drew a circle around the location of Silverlight City, "If you want to directly connect with the east and north borders, you must set up a transit station here." ”

Ever since he had possessed the Hearing Sigil, he had been addicted to the feeling of being aware of what was happening in the distance, and the rapid exchange of information made him feel as if he had returned to a previous era, and now he was sitting in the command hall, monitoring every step of the entire combat situation.

It's a pity that the listening sigil can't spread indefinitely, just like the tracking sigil will greatly weaken its pointing ability after it exceeds a certain range, and the two magic stones are too far apart, and the sound will be difficult to ensure clarity and stability. It now appears that at least one transit will be needed before the Neverwinter order can be issued across the country.

"And there aren't enough sigils," Nightingale picked up a piece of dried fish, "you've only made four pairs in total, and you've used half of the tooth extraction alone, so it's not easy to catch another devil and come back." ”

This problem also exists, sigils can only transmit sound in one direction, and if you want to achieve the effect of instant communication, you need at least two sets in the witch's hands.

However, compared to flying messengers or human messengers, it is already extremely efficient.

Of course, sigils are not impossible to improve.

According to Agatha, its quality depends on the strength of the magic of the fused blood, such as the listening sigil made by Anna, the communication effect is better, and if you add the blood of high-level demons, maybe one group can cover the entire kingdom of the Grey Keep.

"Shhh...... Something is wrong...... Wait......"

Sylvie's staccato voice sounded again, and the two people at the table were in high spirits at the table.

"The Pure One again?" Nightingale swallowed the dried fish, "or a moving black hole of magic?"

The former is okay to say, just direct positioning and firing, while the latter has two possibilities - one is a cultist wearing a divine stone, and the other is a divine punishment army who is not afraid of magic by nature.

"No...... Hiss...... I didn't see the ...... of the Divine Stone Reaction ......"

"No Divine Stones?" Roland frowned.

"No...... What's in the church...... None ......" the voice paused for a moment, "we ...... Got in...... Hiss...... The basement is also empty ......"

The two looked at each other, and the church was ...... Fled?

"It's not impossible," said Roland after a while, to his chagrin, "that I was too cautious. ”

No one in the kingdom could stop the First Army, and the nobility was reluctant to run into the muzzle of their guns, but that didn't mean that the grass among them wouldn't secretly report to the Church, which was normal for them to evacuate the city with supplies when they were absolutely unable to win. Unlike the capture of Changge Fortress and Falling Dragon Ridge, the nobles who were not destroyed probably watched the whole raid, and it is estimated that shortly after the attack on Chishui City, the churches in other cities received a flying pigeon message that "the fourth prince is searching for the stone of divine punishment".

If you start by splitting up your forces and sending three teams to attack three cities at the same time, you may be able to wipe them out.

"Can't say that," Nightingale said as she handed a piece of dried fish to Roland's mouth, "after all, Sylvie is the only one who can see through the enemy's ambush, and in case of a difficult pure, the scattered army is likely to suffer heavy losses, and prudence is also advantageous." ”

Roland was slightly stunned and bit the dried fish, "You're quite good at comforting people now." ”

"Hehe," she smirked, "how is it, are you feeling better, if you're still not happy, I'll rub your shoulders again—Wendy taught me a technique that is said to be very comfortable." ”

"Wendy even knows this?"

"She's got a lot of things," Nightingale raised an eyebrow, "The Mutual Aid Society has traveled all the way, and when it was ordealing, it was up to her to stabilize the group, otherwise Hakala's strange temper would have driven everyone away." When it comes to caring for her sisters, no one does it better than her. ”

Roland groped his chin, there is no government affairs to deal with for the time being, and the first army has successfully entered Silverlight City, so it is better to relax and take a nap.

Just as he was about to respond, the magic stone in Nightingale's arms rattled again.

This time, the voice was so clear that it was like a shout in my ear.

"Here's lightning, repeat, here's lightning, hear it and answer!"

Witches don't have much entertainment, so Roland occasionally tells new stories in nature class to increase their interest in learning and increase their knowledge - Lightning has immediately fallen in love with this unusual way of talking since listening to him tell the story of the pilot's conquest of the skies.

However, in Roland's ears, such a conversation was very awkward, and after the nightingale activated another set of magic stones, he coughed twice, "Uh, you say, I can hear it." ”

"The red mist behind the snowy mountains is gone...... No, it's disappearing!"

"What?" both asked at the same time, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure there's Maisie too, you can ask her!"

"The fog has indeed faded a lot!"

"No, you should have said that this is Maisie first, and then report back ......"

"Goo-goo?"

"Where are you now, don't get too close to the devil's camp, come back quickly," Roland was afraid that the little girl's spirit of adventure would explode, so he flew directly into the camp to investigate, and if he drew out another high-level devil, it would be over.

"Lightning understands!"

"Go and get Agatha," Roland said to the nightingale, "and maybe only she knows what is going on." ”

Ever since he killed the Demon Slayer, he had been keeping an eye on what was going on behind the snow-capped mountains - the coal-carrying fleet heading to the source of Chishui was divided into groups of four or five, each with an animal messenger in their hands. In addition, the scope of Lightning and Maisie's practice is also set on the line from the Snow Mountain to the Hidden Forest, which is aimed at the sudden attack of the devil.

As a result, not only did the devil not take revenge, but even the red fog began to dissipate?

Agatha quickly arrived at the office, but after listening carefully to Lightning's report, she was also a little confused, "The Federation rarely has the opportunity to get close to the camp in the rear of the devil, so I have never heard of anything like it, and I have not even seen them retreat during the decades-long war. ”

"In that case, let's keep an eye on it for now," Roland finally decided, "Maybe the red mist is only weakening for a while, and it's better to be cautious about this matter." ”

He didn't want to compromise any witches at such a time.

Five days later, lightning came with the news that the red fog behind the snow-capped mountains had completely disappeared.
