Four days later, all the high-ranking officials from the north who could speak to Hermes had gathered in a camp on the outskirts of the Holy City.

The emergency assembly order clearly aroused everyone's concern, but no one showed a panicked look, neither the staff nor the officers of the Western Front Army were only speculating whether His Majesty had a new goal, and the discussion did not come to an abrupt end until His Majesty walked into the tent with a calm face.

"There's something important to say about summoning you here," Roland tapped on the table, "we must return to Neverwinter." ”

This short command instantly caused a commotion among the crowd.

When he first received the secret letter, he was not yet convinced, after all, all the information mentioned in the letter was obtained by Loga Burn alone, and although it was shocking, there was no other proof. The letter did not describe the cause and effect of the encounter with the devil too much, and the movement of the devil's army was unknown, and the change of battle plan involved a lot, so he was a little undecided.

However, in the next few days, Roland received several direct letters from the West in a row—looking at the various animal messengers in the dust, he realized that this matter was probably not trivial.

Sure enough, the second and third letters contain information about Loga's wounded rescue, the Whispering Devil, and the alarm sounded in Neverwinter, while the fourth and fifth letters contain information about the arrival of the Sleeping Island Witch and internal discord. Each of these is a key event worth reporting, and the order in which it was sent should have come first, but the reality was reversed.

It can also be seen that as the urgency of the intelligence increases, the messenger in charge of the communication also becomes more and more advanced, so that the recently sent secret letter is the first to arrive.

Judging from these letters, Roland finally has a general understanding of the whole picture. And the lightning-specific map mentioned in the third secret letter also confirmed him from the latter—Luo Jia did go to the area of the Tachira Ruins, and planned to hone his skills there, using demons and evil beasts to improve his combat skills.

In this way, the reliability of the information is guaranteed.

At the same time, the wolf girl's persistence also made him feel a little emotional.

Could it be that her persuasive tone was too heavy when they met for the first time, which stimulated her?

Fortunately, the end result was good, Sunset's symbiotic seed managed to save Luojia's life, and the devil's whereabouts were known in advance - if he waited until Autumn Twilight to return to Winterless, I am afraid that the enemy would have gained a foothold in the wilderness.

For this credit alone, it is not an exaggeration to award her an outstanding contribution award. Maybe it's time to fulfill the fan's wish when she returns, and arm her into a self-propelled heavy firepower unit - at least that will be a much quicker improvement than honing her skills.

"That's the reason for this," Roland glanced at everyone present with a solemn expression after recounting the key information on the secret letter, "In view of the change in the situation, the plan of the two-rib offensive can only be suspended in advance. From now on, the troops will prepare for the march and withdraw from the Holy City in batches. I'll leave early and try to get back to Neverwinter in the shortest possible time. ”

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn, although most of the people attending the meeting had already heard of the devil and knew that they were the great enemies of the entire Gray Keep and even mankind, but after all, they had never really fought with the enemy, and they felt a little dazed about the suddenness of this will, and they didn't know how to reply for a while.

Roland also knew that this news was too shocking and caught people off guard, so he didn't urge more, but quietly waited for everyone's digestion and thinking.

After a long while, Sir Silt, an officer of the General Staff, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this information ...... Is it reliable?"

"Neither Zoroa's layer sigil nor Honey's animal messenger is something that is so easy to fake," Roland affirmed, "although there is no second confirmation, considering that it is not easy to get close to the devil, it can be treated as a special case." ”

"That'...... What about Dawn?" Duke Eternal Night asked the key question.

"People must be saved—Greykeep will never give up on any of its allies. Roland glanced at Andrea, who looked worried, "In addition, the Lord of Dawn must also pay the price, and Wimbledon's wrath may be late, but it is never absent." It's just that this matter has nothing to do with the First Army, and I will make another arrangement after the meeting. ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, everyone stopped speaking, and the next link was for him to issue specific instructions, the staff to formulate a plan, and the rest of the people to implement it.

Urgent marches were no strangers to the First Army, and the fact that it was not fought for the purpose of raiding made it possible for this army to attack or retreat in an orderly manner, and even if Roland left first, there was no need to worry too much.

The transportation of materials and personnel from the old and new holy cities will be jointly undertaken by the newly established second-level town hall in the north and Duke Kant, and Isabella will also stay behind until the transfer is completed. With her and the "New Sisters Council" in charge, plus the guards of the Northland garrison, the remnants of the church basically have no chance to get their hands on this place, and the Hermes plateau has become part of the territory of the Gray Castle.

As for whether this new organization, named by Roland and indoctrinated with a series of historical revisions such as "the archbishop is the thief of power", "the traitor broke the covenant", "the witch was framed", and "the devil is the great enemy", can completely replace the original church and become a tool for consolidating his rule, it can be left to be seen later. His immediate priority was to restore order to the Holy City so that it would not become a dead place before the War of the Divine Wills began.

The above instructions were already in a state of implementation before the arrival of MeSign, and now they are only speeding up, and the only thing that needs to be explained in detail is the attack on Dawn.

After the meeting, Roland left Andrea behind.

"The main force of the First Army has to go back to defend Neverwinter, so the plan can only be changed slightly," he said.

"Rest assured, with Her Highness Tilly and the Sleeping Isle Sisters here, Neverwinter will be safe and sound," the blonde witch said reassuringly, despite her apprehension, "and you've done your best, and if you can't, you don't have to force it." ”

"You're wrong......," Roland shook his head, "if the First Army hadn't moved, the matter would have been resolved more quickly - do you think I want Ampain Moya's head, and his castle and knights can save him? ”

"Faster?" Andrea froze, "Do you want to—"

"Is this the case," Roland raised the corners of his mouth, "it is not easy to convince them, after all, the enemy of their life is in front of them, and they can't wait to go back and fight the devil to the death." He paused for a moment, "Fifty Divine Punishment Witches, equivalent to fifty transcendentals, is a force to be reckoned with even in the era of the Federation. No one in this world could withstand their attacks except me, and when the Divine Punishment Stone and the Knight's Sword were ineffective, Ampein's life was already counting down. ”
