A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 294: Chapter 233: The Front Line_2

The chosen of the God of Trickery —— the “Cursing One”, Vérilig, was equally tricky. The power of the twisted twins controlled the Wind of Magic on the battlefield, causing incurable curses and dark destruction.

The only two reasons that the Chaos Alliance hadn’t been able to defeat the United Army were Ulrick’s Holy Fire and the unfriendly winter to God of Plague’s spreading love.

If it were the spring of resurrection… perhaps the entire city would have blossomed.

Carl was very clear about this, so he hoped to end the war before spring arrived. Although the Midheim Dimension was relatively high and spring would arrive slowly, it was not impossible. To completely eliminate the Chaos Alliance before then was an impossible mission, let alone the fact that Achane, the chosen one of legend, had not yet appeared.

Yes, just like in an RPG game, you probably have to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings before the final BOSS will jump out and fight with you.

In addition to the armies led by these Lords of Chaos, the Beastmen who had always been a thorn in the side of Midheim had also found an organization and joined the Chaos Army, thus adding another threat to the Union Army.

...

The United Army of Carl’s side was grand in name, but in reality, it was disastrous. Aldorf needed to be garrisoned, and the Imperial border also needed to be guarded. Not to mention the previous three foolish heirs who had worn down a lot of troops in their infighting, the army that could barely stop them now could not be compared to the Chaos Army.

The Elves and Kislyov were no exception. The Elves only had a small delegation of hundreds, and Kislyov was fierce, but they only had remnants. Fortunately, the Barto Knight Order brought by the Green Knight barely filled part of the vacancy ——- this was why Carl was so happy to know that the Dwarf High King would send reinforcements.

Otherwise, if this continued, no matter what else, we could not even fight a war of attrition.

“So, what we have to do next is to take down these idiotic Lords of Chaos first, and then bring Achane to the front line to kill him……”

Duanmu Huai looked at the sand table and started calculating silently.

“Right, do you have any ideas?”@@novelbin@@

“My idea is simple, just go straight.”

Duanmu Huai reached out and pressed it over the sand table on the side of Chaos Forces, where the flag and emblem had been crushed into pieces.

“I have brought an army of three thousand people. I believe they have enough strength to deal with these Chaos Forces.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Carl was taken aback. In this world, an army of three thousand people was not a small number. Although he didn’t know where Duanmu Huai found these people, Carl was still very happy to have new blood join.

“Of course, I’m very welcome. Where are they?”

“They will appear when the battle begins.”

Duanmu Huai didn’t plan to expose his reinforcements too early. Cade No. Six had indeed complained to him, saying that their butts had grown moldy from staying on board —— you’re a robot, and you’re afraid of mold on your butt? Would some machine oil do?

Of course, during this period, those Guardians weren’t idle either. The warships had always been monitoring the front-line battlefield, so that they could understand the capabilities of the Chaos Army, not to rush into death blindly. Although Guardians couldn’t die, they should be careful, right?

After all, Guardians were not really immortal.

Now, it was time for them to act.

This time, Duanmu Huai didn’t call any other people up. He only intended to take Ogis and Ann, and act on his own. After all, this was a war between two armies, not like the usual adventures. The girls were not suitable for battles in the army. Greiya seemed to still be busy with internal matters of Regnes. Although her “Dragon Roar” was very helpful to the war, considering her identity, Duanmu Huai still decided to hide her temporarily, unless it was necessary to call her up.

Afterwards, Duanmu Huai bid Carl farewell and wandered alone in the City of Midheim. Perhaps because of the war, the city was becoming more desolate. Most of the residents seemed to have fled the city long ago, and the place was bustling with fully armed soldiers. Duanmu Huai ended up at the Sacred Temple of Ulric, staring at the pure white flame burning in the huge fire pit.

So this is Ulrick’s Holy Fire…

Standing in front of the temple and staring at the Holy Fire before him, Duanmu Huai fell into contemplation. If he remembered correctly, according to posts on the forum, the Chaos Army had occupied Midheim and dug up a powerful Divine Artifact under Ulrick’s temple, which had destroyed the planet.

But according to Carl, it seemed that as long as Ulrick’s Holy Fire was burning, the Chaos Army couldn’t enter the city.

So… what led to the Chaos Army occupying this place?

Did Ulrick’s Holy Fire go out?

Why did it go out?

The forum did not give an answer, and it was probably not known to the players either.

But for Duanmu Huai, this was a very important question.

Perhaps this place might need more attention.

Duanmu Huai looked at Ulrick’s Holy Fire again, then turned and left.

He had a big fight waiting for him tomorrow.

However, just as Duanmu Huai was about to return to the castle for a little rest, suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him.

“Long time no see, Sir Knight.”

Duanmu Huai turned around to see an elf looking at him with a smile —— no need to ask, it was Eternal Kin Elissara.

“Hello, miss, long time no see.”

Duanmu Huai also nodded at her in return, while she continued to watch Duanmu Huai with an unchanged expression, a glow of excitement in her eyes.

“You seem to have more momentum than before, I really don’t know what you have been through to have such an exceptional charm.”

“Eh… thanks for the compliment, I just got rid of four pests.”

Hearing Elissara’s words, Duanmu Huai twitched his eye corner. He really couldn’t tell if the princess was sincere or mocking him.”I’ve learned from His Majesty The Emperor that you will also participate in the next war. To be able to fight alongside you is my honor.”

As she spoke, Elissara started to tremble. Her expression was like that of a fanatical fan upon seeing a star —— but Duanmu Huai honestly could not comprehend the mental circuit of the princess. He was staring back at her, carefully taking a half step back. Elissara seemed to have realized her loss of composure and hastily composed herself.

“Sorry, I was just overwhelmed. So, see you tomorrow.”

After saying these words, Elissara curtsied to Duanmu Huai and turned to leave. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai watched her departing figure and scratched his head in confusion.

What the hell is this woman up to??
