Creed of the heavens

"But please be mentally prepared."

Silence glanced at Lu Xiao: "As your friend said, knowledge is the most important thing in my eyes. If you can no longer give me the knowledge I want, I will take the initiative to leave. Don't blame me for not having it." Let you know in advance."

……

It is still unknown what kind of sparks the talented combination of Sirence and Aloy will have in the future.

Sirens, who claims to be a scholar, does not intend to participate in the war between Calgar Kingdom and Shadow Calgar, but he promises to provide Aloy with the necessary assistance in the rear.

Watching Sirence leave on the strider, Lu Xiao opened the portal and returned directly to Meridian City.

The severe cold climate of the Gaia ruins was in stark contrast to the warmth of Meridian City. As soon as he returned to the city, Aloy, who was sweating all over his body, hurriedly took off his thick clothes.

The loud drumming noise coming from the window was very obvious, Lu Xiao pushed open the window without taking a break, and the noisy sound suddenly poured in from the outside.

A woman wearing a red priestly uniform stood on the high platform of the square and narrated something loudly. The people in the audience were a little absent-minded and did not listen to the high priest's speech as usual.

Lu Xiao once met that young woman in Yavid's palace. She was the new high priest of the sun selected by Yavid after Bahava escaped from Meridian City.

"It seems that the situation is not good."

Lu Xiao turned her head and said to Yongzhen: "I'll go to the palace first to inquire about the situation, you stay at home and be ready to go at any time."

When Lu Xiao was brought in front of the Sun King by the surprised Malad, several people surrounded Yavid uncharacteristically.

Apart from a few unfamiliar generals, among these people was Ellen De, whom Lu Xiao had known before, and a young O'Selan woman with a heroic temperament and a soft appearance.

This person should be Arend's sister, Arvid's intended queen candidate, Elsa.

Yavid was also very surprised to see Lu Xiao's return. He pushed aside the generals and stood up from the throne: "Lu Xiao, you came back at just the right time. Give me some good news."

Lu Xiao smiled and showed the overriding command item to Yavid: "Fortunately, I got the key item that can turn the situation around."

"King Yavid, what's the situation on the front line?"

Yavid smiled wryly and shook his head: "Not optimistic... Malad, you tell Lu Xiao the battle situation in detail, and I will deal with the matter here first."

Mallard: "Yes!"

Chapter 465 Three-pronged approach

Under Mallard's explanation, Lu Xiao learned of the difficult situation facing the Kingdom of Calgar today.

Mallard first mentioned a piece of news that Lu Xiao had guessed but had not confirmed.

"Bahava dead?"

"Yes, according to the information obtained by our spies, he had a military conflict with Sirius at Fort Sunset, and was eventually defeated and killed."

Lu Xiao frowned and asked, "In other words, now Shadow Calgar is completely in the hands of Sirius?"

"That's right, although Sirius is a complete layman in governing internal affairs, in this war-torn environment, his military command ability can be maximized."

Mallard said with a headache: "Sirius used the mechanical army as his trump card, and marched eastward from Sunset Fort. The castles built by the Kingdom on the route of the mechanical army could not stop their impact."

"On the other hand, Shadow Calgar's regular army is surrounded from all sides under the command of Sirius. Our defensive troops are out of skills, so we can only temporarily abandon the unstoppable mechanical army and give priority to dealing with the ordinary army."

"As far as the results are concerned, we blocked Sirius' Shadow Calgar troops, but the mechanical army is still advancing towards Meridian City step by step, and will approach the city within five days at the latest."

The capital was under threat, and the entire Kingdom of Calgar was very anxious. The high priest Lu Xiao saw before gave a speech just to appease the emotions of the people.

Yavid recruited the last remaining generals just to discuss the defense of Meridian City with them.

Considering the terrifying breakthrough power of the mechanical army, the upper echelons of the Sun Kingdom were at a loss as to how to defend.

"You still have time."

After listening to Mallard's explanation, Lu Xiao interrupted the conversation between Yavid and the generals.

"Blocking the mechanical army head-on is like a mantis holding a car. We might as well launch a harassing and procrastinating attack on them before the mechanical army reaches Meridian City."

Yavid looked at Lu Xiao expectantly: "Please continue to talk about how to implement the tactics?"

Lu Xiao nodded to Yavid, and said to the generals present: "Mallard told me that the Kingdom of Calgar has sent people to O'Selan and Banuk for help."

"Leaving aside the Banuk tribe who live in a corner, the O'theran people have strong technical capabilities. If they can provide enough heavy weapon support, relying on the solid defense of Meridian City, they should have the opportunity to block and slowly eat away at the mechanical army. quantity."

Allende proudly smacked his chest and promised: "I dare not brag about the others, but the weapons of the O'theran can definitely hurt those cumbersome machines."

"I have moved all the heavy weapons that can be collected around Meridian City to the city wall at this stage, and I should be able to survive the impact of the mechanical army for a while."

Lu Xiao nodded and said: "The weapons collected by the people are not enough, and the manpower is also insufficient. We need to delay some time for the arrival of support."

"I need someone who is familiar with guerrilla warfare to lead some soldiers from Meridian City out of the city to harass the mechanical army and delay their marching speed as much as possible."

Elsa said with a headache, "This... I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"The terrain between Sunset Fort and Meridian City is flat. Except for a forest that is about two days away from Meridian City, there is an endless desert along the way. Guerrilla warfare is very difficult to be effective."

"Besides, O'Selan and Calgar people are not good at guerrilla warfare in the mountains and forests. If they try to fight, they will only be defeated by the opponent's loopholes."

Lu Xiao smiled confidently: "I understand that professional things should be left to professional people."

"After the meeting, Aloy and I will rush to the Nora territory as quickly as possible, and persuade them to send troops to help us solve this worldwide crisis together."

"The Nora tribe is an expert in guerrilla warfare. If we can ask for their help, it should be able to effectively delay the advance speed of the mechanical army."

Yavid's face changed: "Is it really possible? The Nora tribe is extremely xenophobic, plus the hatred forged from the war a few years ago..."

Lu Xiao said firmly: "It's up to people, this task is left to Aloy and I. Anyway, she is also a pursuer sent by the Nora patriarch's mother society, and she has a lot of voice in the clan."

Yavid sighed deeply: "I see, I will give up some benefits to O'Selan so that they can send reinforcements as soon as possible."

"Lu Xiao, I'll leave the Nora to you."

"no problem."

……

"Convince the Nora tribe to send troops?"

Back at the villa in Meridian City, Lu Xiao told Yongzhen and Ailoy the information obtained from meeting Yavid.

Knowing that Lu Xiao intends to get aid from the Nora tribe, Ailoy spread his hands dumbfounded and said: "Lu Xiao, although it is a bit inappropriate for me as a Nora tribe, it is basically impossible for the Nora tribe to ask Calgary for help." The kingdom sent reinforcements."

"Leaving aside the ancient custom of the Nora people not allowing their people to leave the holy land, the war a few years ago made the Nora people not have the slightest affection for Calga. I don't think you can persuade them to send troops."

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "It's true that conventional methods won't work, but what if the order is made in the name of the mother of all things?"
