What is missing……

Andersa met the gaze of Rosetta Augustus. In the eyes of the ruler of the empire, she saw the depth and calmness of a deep pool. This gaze made her realize that she is today. She didn't come here to plead guilty or to justify. She came here to contribute value to the empire.

Rosetta watched Andersa silently.

The Winter Wolf Legion was defeated in this border contest. The emperor resisted the diplomatic pressure for them. The generals should make a summary of their experience. Duke Ferdinand will complete it with them. As for this moment, the young wolf What a general should do is tell the ruler of the empire how he should strengthen his army to prepare for the next contest.

"First, it's communication." Andersa said after a brief thought.

"Our existing means of communication are flawed - the Cecilian Sorcerer Legion is bringing a new war situation, their long-range attack methods are rich and flexible, and their armies can cooperate with each other on a very broad battlefield. And fast counterattack, which means that the speed and magnitude of changes in various areas of the battlefield will be much faster than before...

"The communication distance of the communication tower is very long, and it can cross the battlefield, but it needs fixed facilities to maintain the operation of the large circle, and it can only serve as a means of communication between the fortresses; the communication technique of the mage is flexible and changeable, but the communication distance is not enough. Two kilometers, it can't meet the scale of the next battlefield at all, and the communication technique has high requirements for casting spells, and the number of middle-level mages is rare. The mages who master the communication technique are basically at the commander level, and it is impossible to use it as a relay communication messenger on the battlefield. .

"The magic light spell cast by the Signal Mage is a means of communication that cannot be hidden. Although it is useful, it is too restrictive in special circumstances, and we have encountered such a 'special situation'...

"Second, our command system cannot keep up with our corps structure, especially the role of advisors and scholars has not been fully exerted. They should have the right to participate in tactical formulation, not just make suggestions. In addition, advisors and scholars are also There is no effective cooperation, specifically...

"Third, we need to update our equipment. Your Majesty, although I don't want to admit it, we are falling behind the Cecils in terms of equipment - the Legion of Transcendents is indeed powerful, but we have more ordinary soldiers, Cecilians The magic weapon can determine the value that ordinary people can play on the battlefield. If a large number of ordinary soldiers lag behind the enemy in terms of weapons and equipment, then even if the legion of superhumans has a great advantage in the local battlefield, we will be in the overall battlefield. Will also be crushed by the Cecil...

"My reconnaissance unit has dealt with Cecil's scouts many times. Their scouts are ordinary people, but they can fight against our shadow scouts and scout mages in the contest. This is a very dangerous signal..."

"the last point,

The most difficult thing to control is that our 'way of thinking', or our handling and understanding of war... has limitations. "

Andersa obviously slowed down a lot when she talked about the last point. Obviously, even though she had sorted out her thoughts in advance, what she wanted to summarize at the moment was something that was quite difficult to express. Rosetta?? Augustus He didn't urge him, he just looked at the young general calmly and motioned her to speak boldly.

With the Emperor's silent encouragement, Andersa took a light breath and began to tell the story of where the Typhonians had fallen in the first and biggest somersault in this border battle—

"In the beginning, the Cecil people actually had no advantage at all. The Changfeng defense line at that time could be said to be vulnerable in front of the Winter Wolf Legion, but they insisted on relying on a deception tactic to drag it out for half a month. Disadvantage dragged into advantage, and this deception tactic was not as simple as pretending on the battlefield - for half a month, they carried out false military transfers, built false fortifications, and even created They created fake caravans and leaked fake material information, but what they did was much more than that.

"On the way here, I learned more from my grandfather, that the Cecil even created a false post-war atmosphere throughout the eastern border, and paralyzed our royal advisors with changes in business orders, Your Majesty, this It's the scariest place...

"With us, the war is on the battlefield, but in the eyes of the Cecilians, the frontal battlefield is only a part of the war.

"Their market, their propaganda, the soldiers on the front, the merchants on the side, and even the people at the bottom, all their actions are part of the war, all working to achieve the same goal, it's very scary, Your Majesty ."

Andersa finished speaking her thoughts, while Rosetta Augustus on the opposite side fell into a brief silence. After more than ten seconds, the ruler of the empire frowned and said in a low voice: "War is not only in On the battlefield...you're right, Andersa.

"We were deceived by the Cecilians once, and until now, there are still some members of the nobles who think that the Cecilians' scheme is just a despicable 'deception', but the fact is not just like this - the Cecilians not only make A lie, they created an all-round illusion, from border trade orders, to their own domestic propaganda, to the military mobilization on the front line, they almost created a 'curtain' without dead ends, putting us completely. Wrapped in it, we can only see what they play. Even if the spies we placed in the Eastern Territory risked their lives to send out so much information, the information they sent out was all fake. This is indeed very scary. Desa, very scary.

"What's even scarier is that our current system of local governors cannot do the same thing."

Rosetta finished speaking quietly, while Duke Ferdinand next to him glanced at Andersa. In addition to surprise, there was a hint of relief in the old Duke's eyes.

People always make mistakes, and the Wendell family is no exception, but Andersa at least did not let those wrong emotions affect her judgment as a wolf general, or on the other hand, it was precisely because she held the old Ansu Kingdom. There is a certain obsession that makes you particularly sensitive to the actions of the Cecilians, and will connect those behaviors that seem to be distributed in different fields, analyze them from the perspective of hostility, and draw conclusions that ordinary people have never thought of.

Of course, in addition to this reason, long-term stationing at the border and dealing with Changfeng Fortress for a long time are also one of the important factors that she can draw these conclusions.

After that, Rosetta learned a lot from Andersa, not only the situation in the border area, but also the operation of several legions on the border and the progress of border trade. In the process, he also invited The two wolf generals of the Wendell family had lunch together in his parlour, and the long conversation did not come to an end until the giant sun was approaching the horizon.

Andersa only returned from the border today. Although the physique of the high-level extraordinary person is not afraid of this exhaustion, Rosetta still let her go home to rest first and recharge her energy to face tomorrow's noble meeting, while Duke Ferdinand was left behind. Come down and continue the discussion.

"Andersa is indeed a very sensitive child," Rosetta said lightly after there were only two people in the room. "She can always notice what's under the surface."

Pei Dinan lowered his head: "But her recklessness this time almost ruined the big thing, Your Majesty."

"The shortcomings of youth can be compensated by years, but sharpness is difficult to train," Rosetta said calmly, "She mentioned this 'illusion' created by the Cecil people, which is actually the relationship between the Cecil Empire and the Cecil Empire. What do you think about the disparity in state control between us?"

"...With all due respect, Your Majesty, in my opinion, at least at this stage, the Cecil Empire, as a newly-born country, has no stronger control over more than half of the country than us, and our regional chief system has already been established. It has been implemented for more than ten years, and not long ago, they were still relying on the oath of the lord to maintain the integrity of the country," Duke Ferdinand said directly, "but if it continues to develop, it will be a matter of time before they surpass us in this regard."

Having said this, the old duke paused before continuing: "As for this time, they were able to create such a large-scale deception in all aspects, not so much as a manifestation of control, but rather a manifestation of their How effective are the propaganda tools at your disposal.

"Just a week after the Holy Spirit Plains War, the information about the great victory of the Cecil Corps and the smooth handover of the kingship was sent to all the nobles in their eastern border through newspapers. The news of the civilians was blocked, and there was no understanding of what happened in the Holy Spirit Plain. Without knowing it, the newspaper became the only reliable source of information, and was circulated by local nobles and businessmen, so... we believed the propaganda in their newspapers.

"Your Majesty, Typhon also has a newspaper now, but as far as I know, it is only something that the upper-class wealthy citizens are entitled to read, and it should have played a greater role, but this role has been wasted.

"The Cecils taught us a lesson in this regard. The course is not free, so we have to study hard."

After listening to Ferdinand's words, Emperor Rosetta smiled slightly: "Indeed, this course is not cheap at all..."

While speaking, he walked behind the desk: "It's time to write a letter to Emperor Cecil, he lowered the purchase price of textiles by 30% in the new order, now let's see if we can use it Some writing and ink to reduce this tuition fee."

Ferdinand laughed: "Soon, someone in the council will think that we are bowing to Cecil."

Rosetta echoes an old Typhon adage: "To climb a mountain, you always have to keep your head down."

...

Cecil Empire, East of the Holy Spirit Plain, around Solimburg.

The giant sun has gradually subsided, and only half of the huge sun remains on the horizon in turn. The light body with mysterious wood grain and brilliant crown sheds orange-red glow on the earth, and the light diffuses in the clouds. A bloody sunset was formed.

Clouds filled the sky, spanning the entire sky from east to west. Next to the Solin Fort, which was destroyed by the war, the temporary sentry tower stood quietly in the sunset. Plain direction.

The war-torn plain is full of bullet craters, and a strange strip mixed with scorch marks and bright flower paths spreads from afar, rubbing the edge of Solin Fort and extending eastward. Around Solin Fort, you can also see other numbers. The sentry towers stand up and take care of each other, and there are scattered tents and simple houses around the sentry tower. Military vehicles and patrolling soldiers move around in this area, as if they are being closely monitored.

The sentry moved his slightly sore neck and shoulders, but his eyes remained on the closely monitored area.

He knew that there was the place where the terrifying "artificial god" came out, and there was a huge crack leading to the depths of the ground. Below it was the dark lair of the end of all things, which was full of dangerous traps and traps. Out of control magical creations, the soldiers cleared out the cluster giants roaming nearby, but couldn't do anything about the underground lair.

The superiors do not have the extra manpower and energy to deal with the dark lair that will be left by the death of all things, so they can only send people to block the area first. The sentry tower near the west wall of Solimburg is part of the entire blockade .

When it was time for the regular report, the sentry opened the magic terminal next to him and said while looking at the plain in the distance: "Command post, here is the No. 1 sentry tower, everything is going well in the target area..."

The sentry stopped suddenly, he stared at the starting point of the road of flowers and scorch marks, and his tone suddenly became serious: "Wait a minute, there is a situation..."

There was movement in the direction of the plain. A large piece of smoke and dust rose from the direction of the crack. It seemed that something was rising from the smoke and dust. The top of the nearby sentry tower lit up with red flashing lights one after another. Soldiers in the camp quickly assembled.

The voice of the command post came from the magic terminal: "No. 1 sentry tower, talk back, what happened?"

"Something has risen from the crack..." The sentry stared in shock, "It seems... like a vine... or a tree?!"
