Chapter 985: Destined

Name:Sword of Daybreaker Author:Yuan Tong
The war nun immediately got up and saluted Philip when she saw Philip appeared. The latter waved her hand to indicate not to be formal, and this movement also awakened Andesa who seemed to be in trance. She turned her head and looked at Philip.

She struggled with her upper body, as if she wanted to sit up, but just halfway through this movement, the heavily armed nun pressed back.

"Lie quietly-your injury is much more serious than you think."

"It's better to follow the doctor's advice at this time," Philip said before coming to the collapse, looking down at Andesa, and then he took a chair next to him and sat down, "I didn't expect to meet in this situation. "

"Neither did I expect..." Andesa said pale, but her voice was much clearer and stronger than when she just woke up. Obviously, the follow-up series of treatments have worked-she also said no Is Qing's rescue work done by his subordinates, or is the nun next to her using a "warhammer" at the dozens of treatments she released. "It's really embarrassing, it makes you laugh."

"Don't talk about it," Philip waved his hand and said bluntly. "Let's talk about the current situation-Typhon's God of War church has a problem, and faith pollution has caused your army to lose control. We already know this. , But now it seems that the actual situation may deviate from our judgment. I want to hear this part of the content."

Andesa opened her mouth. She looked at Philip's face that was almost as young as hers, but behind this face she saw another empire armed to her teeth. She took a gentle breath, and in this breath , She suddenly realized... that she had not left the battlefield.

She sorted out her thoughts, like sorting out a military uniform, and then slowly said: "It is true that, as you said, a certain kind of'plague' in the spiritual realm is spreading among our soldiers, and even some officers have been affected—— The previous Iron River Knights were the victims of this spiritual plague. But the spread of this'pollution' is still limited-not all Typhon soldiers are followers of the God of War."

Philip looked into Andesa’s eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "It seems that you have your own judgment on this divine disaster-but you know what, we received a declaration of war from Aldernan, that is It came directly from Obsidian Palace."

He paused, then continued: "This gives us a very bad signal-whether the announcement is true or false, the situation is very unoptimistic. If it is true, it means that our enemy is not just out of control. God, and your emperor, if it is false... then the situation is even worse for you."

When his voice fell, Andesa spoke softly: "...Yes, I know, I only learned about it not long ago."

As she said, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face: "As a Typhon front-line commander, I am the last person to know that the two countries are at war. This is really ironic, isn't it?"

Philip thought for a while and nodded: "So there is a problem with the declaration of war, so the ‘Divine Disaster’ in Typhon is even less optimistic. Do you mean that?"

Andesa shook her head: "No, I don't think that the ‘divine disaster’ in your mouth has been completely out of control, and the situation is not as irreversible as you think..."

"I need more convincing evidence or reason," Philip interrupted the other party. "According to what we have just learned, Winter Wolf Castle has actually been in a state of information isolation for the past few days. Soldiers polluted by the God of War Cut off all connections inside and outside the fortress-in this case, your judgment on the situation in Typhon will become unconvincing."

Andesa stared at Philip's face with the remaining right eye, and she made her tone firm: "I admit the fact that you described in the first half, but I think I still have a say in this matter.

"It is true that the declaration of war is very disturbing. Its original original document was indeed transmitted from Obsidian Palace, but this does not prove that Typhon's entire military system was completely'infected'. In fact... Although I don't want to admit it, in this case, the communication system we used exposed very serious flaws."

"I don’t know if you understand the communication tower network used by Typhon. In this network, although most of the transmission and reception are done by the magic organ itself, at some key nodes, manual intervention can easily make things change. I thought about the whole process carefully and found that the loopholes in it were large, so as long as there were problems with those key nodes, even if only a few people were contaminated by the'mental plague', things would go out of control."

Speaking of this, Andesa added: “Of course, we have formulated very strict monitoring, reward and punishment measures for those key links, but in the face of spiritual pollution and mutation, material rewards and punishments or even life and death threats are obviously not available. Play a role-people who are crazy don't care about anything."

Philip nodded slowly: "This is a convincing statement."

Andesa endured the noise that still rang in her ears and the pain everywhere in her body. She took a breath and continued: "In addition, I don't think this'plague' is so simple that it can completely subvert Typhon. Order. Although Typhon has a broad belief in the **** of war, we are not only warriors and knights-Typhon also has a large number of battle wizards and several direct legions that are fully loyal to the royal family. I believe these legions are not immune to this. Affected by the plague—and now they must have been mobilized to deal with this chaos.

"His Majesty Rosetta has been consciously controlling the power of the God of War church many years ago, even before several generations of emperors, the royal family has begun to make this effort, and those who are completely loyal to the royal family and do not accept the baptism of any sect. The Knights are the product of these actions...

"In addition, we were actually taking some actions before the situation began to deteriorate-Typhon did not do nothing. We have been isolating hidden priests and replacing the nobles and knights who had too much contact with the church. We mistakenly estimated the power of the pollution of the gods to get this kind of unprepared situation, but this is enough to prove that Aldernan is prepared...

"...Not all places have the same composition of soldiers as Winter Wolf Fort, so the situation in Winter Wolf Fort certainly does not represent Typhon as a whole. According to my judgment, at least in the southern, western, and central north of the empire, the situation is certain. Still in control.

"There is one last point... this may be my subjective judgment, but I think that His Majesty Rosetta must be in full control of order, and Aldernan will definitely make an effective response. This'war' is for both of us. Nothing is good, it is just a carnival of fanatics and polluters. I know that the current situation is irreversible, but after that we must find a way to make the situation controllable. This requires both of us..."

Philip listened quietly to Andesa's words, until the other party finished speaking, he opened his brows and returned to reality from the state of listening and thinking. After a brief meditation, he broke the silence: "I can feel your honesty."

"Now we are not enemies," Andesa said calmly, "I once heard that your Emperor, His Majesty, often said that in the face of Doomsday, the fate of all mortals are closely linked. I used to talk about this. The sentence is full of misgivings and misunderstandings, but now... I find it to be correct."

Philip looked at the young wolf general with some surprise. Gradually, a trace of admiration appeared on his face. He nodded solemnly to Andesa: "It is not easy to make this change, I think I need to re-evaluate you too, Miss Andesa Wendell."

Then he got up from the chair and tidied the hem of his clothes. At the same time, he lowered his head and said seriously: "These things you are talking about today are very important. I will report them to the Supreme Council of Government. Intelligence can lead everyone to a better future-as for now, you can take a good rest, and we will treat all captives kindly."

Andesa seemed to want to say something, but she just opened her mouth and calmed down in relief, closing her eyes.

The war nun stood up and greeted Philip.

"Sister, what's your name?" Philip asked casually.

"You can just call me Marian," the blond young war nun said with a smile, "I belong to the seventh company of the Iron Holy Power Corps. I will serve you by the order of the Patriarch."

"Very well, Sister Marian—Miss Andesa will take care of you," Philip nodded. "We will arrange to transfer her to the rear with better conditions as soon as possible, but before that, you have to make sure Her safety and health are very important to us."

"Swear to the Holy Light, General," Sister Marian said immediately, solemnly, "We will fulfill our mission!"

...

"General," the young adjutant couldn't help asking Philip after leaving the room, "do you think what the Typhonian said is reliable?"

Philip replied casually: "I am willing to believe 80%. The remaining 20% ​​distrust is partly because of basic caution and vigilance, and partly because the ‘Wolf General’ himself does not necessarily know the whole truth."

The adjutant thoughtfully: "...It seems that we really must reassess Typhon's current situation."

"The smart people of the Supreme Council will think carefully," Philip said, "and for me... I am most fortunate that we have decisively laid down this fortress in the shortest time, and now we finally have the next initiative. , It also minimized the possible loss. After that, it depends on the judgment of the Supreme Council and what else the'Rosetta the Great' of Typhon has...If Typhon eventually cannot control this If the field is already burning up, then the pollution of the God of War will eventually turn into a divine disaster like a crystal cluster. Then this battle will be..."

Philip shook his head and didn't say any more, but the adjutant had already predicted the inevitable development afterwards.

At least there is hope for a war controlled by humans to stop. No matter how difficult it is to stop, there will always be hope. Wars controlled by gods, especially wars controlled by "crazy gods"... Once it breaks out, the initiative will be taken. It's hard to stay in the hands of mortals.

The mad **** will not accept the armistice agreement, let alone how many people on the two sides of the war keep their minds seeking peace. He will only continue to operate indefinitely within his own crazy rules, constantly attacking and destroying, even if the mortal faith is cut off. Civilization collapses, as long as the power of this crazy **** has not been exhausted, he will never stop.

Therefore, the Cecil Empire must lay down Winter Wolf Fort and completely control this "Typhon Portal"-if the fire must burn, at least it cannot be burned on Cecil's land.

Philip sighed slightly.

Regardless of whether the war was due to a divine disaster or because the Typhons really wanted to go to war, Winter Wolf Castle must be defeated. This was already doomed at the beginning of the war, and the young wolf general... was doomed. Will be the first victim of this war.

The crux of the matter now lies in whether the Typhon people can stop this miraculous disaster, or at least control its pollution within a certain limit.

In thinking, he finally couldn't help but sigh softly: "Unfortunately, it is the God of War who is out of control."

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of the general's words. He also showed a wry smile: "Yes, it is the God of War-the God of War."

"Next, let's wait for the judgment of the Supreme Council," Philip shook his head, throwing the confused thoughts out of his mind, "We are ready here, and Typhon's counterattack... will come soon. "

...

The battle report from the front was sent to Hetty.

On both sides of her desk, two magic net terminals were buzzing, and the figures of the two archons, Victoria and Baldwin, were shown in the projection.

"The Winter Wolf Legion has surrendered as an organizational system. After preliminary inspections, more than half of the knights, soldiers, and all mages have not been'polluted', and the'Wolf General' who voluntarily surrendered revealed a lot of important information to us. "Heidi has finished reading the battle report, and her gaze is sweeping across the other two chief consuls, "What do you think?"

"Obviously, the reason why the'General Wolf' surrendered, besides wanting to protect his subordinates, is probably to disclose this information to us," Duke Baldwin said first, "It seems that the situation is better than ours. At first, the prediction was better. The divine plague on the Plains of the Holy Spirit did not take place in Typhon..."

"But the situation is not much less dangerous," Victoria said coldly. "There are fatal loopholes in the key communication system. Some people from the middle to the top are mentally contaminated. The emperor's decree is tampered with and intercepted. Being completely blinded...The performance of the Typhons is so regrettable, in my opinion, they are not much worse than the total fall."

"It's still worse, Victoria," Duke Baldwin couldn't help but smile. "This determines whether we will send more bombs and artillery to the front line, or send more purification troops and technicians. Decided whether we will fight against a mad **** and a malicious empire alone, or fight against their crazy gods with the Typhons."
