"He is a magician? But he is a general! A magician is a general?" This incident surprised Sagas. "Has the concept of southerners also changed a lot? I haven't heard of it."

"He is a magician and a warrior."

"This will only make him vulgar and ordinary in both aspects..."

"He is an exception. I promise you, Sagas, you underestimated him. But this is no longer important. As I said just now, he killed Luo Jin with his own hands...or he forced Luo Jin to commit suicide."

"Oh, you mean..."

"I thought he could only live for one or two days at the beginning. But it seems that the curse at the end of Luo Jin's life at the cost of his life... does not seem to be the type I expected." Marvin said. "If it were to use this self-destruction method, the magic curse spreading was only limited to two or three..."

"All of them are short-term effective." Sagas nodded, agreeing with Marvin's opinion. "And it can torture people to death in the most tragic way as soon as they occur... But... no matter what, Luo Jin is a recognized genius. If it were him, then maybe... things are different."

"Yes, but I think this possibility is only half-to-half," Marvin replied. "Maybe our General Ashu Rufate will rot tomorrow and die slowly in screams. In short, if you choose him as the target, the risk is too great. So it's better to change to another... Isn't that Parry better? Why do you have been old acquaintances?"

Sagas smiled but didn't answer.

"But he can no longer recognize you now. The great Slaanes has changed your form for you." Marvin said. Judging from his words and expression, this has been obviously pleasing.

"Did you...fail?" After a few seconds, Sagas seemed to have thought through something. "I guess, you tried to kill Luo Jin but failed to get his research information, right?"

"I said that Luo Jin's death has nothing to do with me. Yes, I suggested that he deal with the southern army alone, but this was just a suggestion, right? It was him who really made the decision..."

"Anyway, Tsengchi's believers and Nurg's believers can't go together. If you kill Luo Jin, your evaluation in Tsengchi's eyes should be greatly improved." Sagas seemed to have not heard Marvin's explanation at all, but continued in a cold tone. "After that, this is not wrong. Then, in order to make up for the power gap caused by Luo Jin's death, convince me to come and disturb the main force of the Southern people...hahaha..."

The girl with a stunning appearance covered her hands and smiled. If it weren't for the virtual image emitting green light in front of her, who would have believed that such a girl was actually a dangerous Chaos Lord?

"If I lose," Sagas asked. "What are you going to do?"

"How could you fail, Sagas?" Marvin's tone was rather flattering than flattering. "To be honest, I prefer traditional strategies to invent a new magic or something."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Although some people keep shouting about 'innovation' and 'creative thinking', I think that what can be passed down from generation to generation is truly effective. Because it has been proven to be effective after countless verifications, only in this way can it be passed down. For example, the beauty plan... it is so simple, obvious, and not difficult, but it can always work, right?"

"Haha, didn't someone say that I made a big mistake and was rejected by Prince Huanyu?"

"Those are just foolish opinions, how could it be?" Marvin said. "If you don't say anything else, you can change into such a perfect body... The Prince of Huanyu's love for you is as good as ever. However, Sagas, no matter what, this mission cannot be slackened. If those southerners have a fever in their brains, they will take a heartbeat adventure..." he said. "It will pose a great threat to our army. Once things are out of control, no matter you, I or the Lord of Blood Tooth, there will be no good results."

"Hmph!" Sagas snorted with contempt, but the arrogance in his expression disappeared.

...

"The enemy blocked the battlefield." Ashrufate said.

At this time the meeting was over, everyone else had left, only the two of them stayed. However, no one was surprised. Because Berel had a real record of defeating the Chaos Legion, it was wise for Asu Ruffat to consult him for advice.

"I'm afraid that's it." Berel replied. As a deputy general, Berel was responsible for the front-line reconnaissance work. "The plunder cavalry is above our light cavalry in terms of equestrianism and hand-to-hand combat capabilities. Our reconnaissance forces suffered heavy losses... It is difficult to determine the enemy's movements, but our movements cannot be hidden from the enemy's eyes." Berel sighed. "So I do not agree to attack the enemy's troops left under Gaohua City, because we have completely unknown the specific operation routes and current conditions of the dispatched troops who were divided and plundering everywhere."

"Can't you do anything in this regard?" Asu Ruffat asked. "In this way, the enemy takes the initiative, and our army is passive... It's really bad."

"It's a pity," Berel replied in a pondering mood. "This is really unimaginable," he said. "Especially these plunderers are fearless. Even if they set up some small traps and destroy several teams of plunder cavalry, they will not be able to damage their morale and will even make them even more crazy."

"It's like covering your eyes and fighting with others." Ash Rufate sighed, "he was hindered everywhere."

Although the army was still staying in the city of Neustria, waiting for an opportunity to attack, the battle between the scouts on both sides had already begun. Since Belar took over the scouts' reconnaissance mission, the battle situation has become more intense. It is obvious that in this kind of battle, the price paid by the coalition forces far exceeds the income. Even veterans like Belar had to order the reduction of scouts' activities to avoid unnecessary losses.

"This is very different from the civil war between the seven countries." Belle said. "On the one hand, it is the cruelty and tyranny of the Chaos Legion, and on the other hand, it is because of the tactics of the solid walls and clearing the fields, so that there are almost no residents in the wild. The intelligence of the enemy's operations can only be obtained by scout reconnaissance... The experienced reconnaissance troops have suffered more than half of the casualties." Belle paused. "If the scout troops were formed by new recruits, the losses would probably be greater. We cannot continue to throw these troops into the meat grinder. To be honest, I think, perhaps it is because of this that the Chaos Legion dared to attack when our reinforcements gathered and could attack at any time."

"Didn't it mean... the commander of the Chaos Legion is a terror believer?"

"So I said, it's 'maybe'." Berel replied. "Anyway, in this situation, the only option is to make steady progress. Tactical surprise attacks are not desirable."

"The chaos caused by Chaos Wizard before has basically ended." Ashu Rufate changed the topic. "We can't continue to stay here without doing anything."

Berel smiled. "We can set out with our entire army and approach Gaohua City step by step to rescue the camp. Then when we arrived at Gaohua City, I believe that the Chaos Legion had gathered all its troops and was waiting at the city to fight us to decide the outcome..." His voice stopped abruptly, looking at Ash Rufate with that smile, then turned around and looked at Robin behind him.

It should be noted in particular that as the adjutant of Beller, Robin could stand in this venue without being eye-catching. Of course, he had no say.

"No..." Ashu Rufate shook his head, his eyes stayed on the map beside him, and fell into deep thought.

Berel quietly stood up and left the door of the conference room. While leaving, Robin looked back: Asu Ruffatt was still looking at the map, thinking, and did not notice Berel's departure at all.

"Sir, what were you just talking about?"

"A strategy," Berel replied with a smile. "You may not understand what it means."

"What does it mean? Get close to Gaohua City step by step and have a decisive battle... Isn't this a very orthodox tactic?"

"So you don't understand," said Beller. "Robin, you have to use your brain. Do you know what Asu Ruffat is thinking?"

"This... is he considering the opportunity to advance?" Robin's mind was very fast. "It's not good to be too early or too late. If it's too early, Chaos' power will be too strong. If it's too late, Chaos may not go to fight, but retreat to White Fort... This means that they can make a comeback at any time?"

"No, no, Robin, you...hey..." Berel sighed. "I think you should be inexperienced. Maybe I should let you be the commander of a detachment, be responsible for the periphery movements. In this way, you will soon learn something that can only be understood but not expressed in words." Berel said. "Ashu Rufate was thinking about the use of time.

"Use of time?"

"The current situation is that Gaohua City does not need to worry about safety for the time being. The Chaos Legion will definitely not be worth the effort to attack the surrounding small castles. From the perspective of a general, the Chaos Legion is equivalent to using its precious elite mobile forces to exchange for some worthless local second-rate troops. For this choice, we should be happy to see it..."

...However, this will cause many innocent civilian casualties. Robin actually has this idea in his heart. But he also understands that a general should only have victory or defeat in his eyes, and should not have extra mercy and kindness. Defeating the enemy is the greatest mercy and kindness.
