The target is a goddess!Sacred Path of the Scrap Succubus

"His Majesty?"

Humphrey immediately sensed something was wrong, and asked carefully.

And on Tempus's face, the smile finally disappeared and turned livid.

"Bastard, do you still need to ask me for instructions on this kind of thing? Hurry up and arrange troops for support!"

That's right, this is an urgent request from the front.

General Gibran of the Angry Bear Legion stated in his request that their outpost troops suspected of discovering the airship formation of the Arcane Alliance this morning.

According to the scout's description, the airship should be heading towards the Kolo Valley, which is the relay point of the logistics line of the central troops.

General Gibran believes that the friendly forces there may not be able to cope with an attack of this scale, and hereby skips the normal process to request urgent instructions, hoping that His Majesty the King will pay attention.

And Tempus knew that something was wrong just by seeing the place name.

He actually knew that the Secret Law Alliance had an airship.

But without knowing the specific data and equipment quantity of this legendary weapon, he could only ask those generals to be vigilant about this and avoid mistakes.

Regrettably, whether it is a veteran like Maximian or a hardcore general like Gibran, their thinking has long been finalized, and they don't realize at all that if an army can move quickly regardless of the terrain, it will be able to cause huge damage. destruction.

In other words, even if they are aware of the possible threat of such troops, they still have the confidence to smash this level of accidents with their powerful legion.

That's right, the main army with strong discipline and excellent training can indeed ignore this small group of enemy troops who can only be used as harassment troops.

However, the miscellaneous alliance of local nobles is another matter entirely.

"... Jibran, idiot, if something goes wrong in this respect, I will definitely send him to the gallows!"

Seeing that the king had already thrown out the document in his hand in a fit of rage, Humphrey picked it up and glanced at it calmly, before admonishing him with a calm and rigid voice.

"No, Your Majesty, General Gibran has done his best in his post, you can only commend him."

"Also, what we need to do most now is to contact Earl Grant as soon as possible."

Tempus, who was waving his arms angrily, suddenly stopped.

After a while, he gasped and nodded, motioning for Humphrey to contact the front right away.

After Humphrey left, Tempus quickly turned his attention to the map, and quickly started talking to himself.

"It doesn't matter, even if the supply line in the Kolo Valley is destroyed and blocked, we still have the supply line of the Silver Belt River."

"The Mustang Legion's offensive can be slowed down, so that they can support it for about a week by relying on the supplies they carry and on-the-spot recruitment."

"With this week, my successor troops are enough to get through the supply line again, maybe I can..."

Tempus didn't have time to think about what else to do.

Soon, another ciphertext was sent to the room.

And this document made his eyes go dark.

When Humphrey returned to the office with the magic props for emergency contact, he was surprised to find that his lord was covered in cold sweat as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Your Majesty, we..."

"That's too late."

Tempus raised his head, revealing bloodshot eyes.

"No matter what Earl Grant does, we can't change the situation."

"The escaped fleet of the Secret Alliance regrouped and fought a decisive battle with our inland river fleet in Vaasa Bay despite huge losses."

"Our fleet has been wiped out..."

That's right, the fleet of the Secret Alliance is actually superior to the Marconian River Fleet.

Before, they had been passively avoiding wars. Tempus and others optimistically believed that this was only because the city-states of the Arcane Alliance could not reach an agreement, and they were all avoiding their own losses.

It now appears that this is entirely their wishful thinking.

After the battle line was spread out, the legions on both sides of the strait could no longer reach the river in time, and when they supported the inland river fleet, it was the time for the decisive battle that the fleet of the Secret Art Alliance had been waiting for.

If it's just a water battle, it doesn't matter to Tampas, as long as the land is still under control, his legion is not without the means to deal with the enemy fleet.

Relying on the already consolidated support points along the river, as long as the supplies are sufficient, the legion can completely lock the fleet of the Arcane Alliance in the upper reaches of the river.

But now, the land supply line is obviously in danger, and the water fleet is also completely lost. In fact, the several legions of Marconia will be divided into several parts that cannot support each other, allowing the enemy to besiege.

And the most frightening thing lies in the precise and accurate cooperative combat method of the Secret Art Alliance.

Even with convenient magic props, Tempus couldn't do it, and arranged several legions to launch an offensive at the same time as if commanded by his arm.

But this time, the Secret Art Alliance really did it!

This, while making Tampas creepy, also began to rapidly lower the expectations of the campaign.

"Now, what we need is to completely withdraw the Legion."

Tempus' expression quickly turned cold.

"The situation of the Rock Legion on the southern front is the most unfavorable. We must gather all our strength to free them from possible encirclement first."

"The Angry Bear Legion actually has enough leeway. They don't have enough threatening alliance troops on their northern flank. They can fight and retreat, and they can even take care of the Mustang Legion."

"Yes, that's right. The Mustang Army can jump out of the possible encirclement from the northern line, join the Angry Bear Army and return to the country via the northern border."

"Humphrey, follow this line of thinking and issue a mobilization order as soon as possible. Before tomorrow morning, I want to see all the troops and move according to my command!"

Humphrey quickly jotted down these instructions, then raised his head hesitantly.

"Then should we still notify Earl Grant and let them retreat as soon as possible?"

"No, instead, we're going to inform them that small enemy raids won't work, and they need to keep going!"

What surprised Humphrey was that Tempus, who regained his composure, actually issued such a cruel and dishonorable order.

"This...isn't it good?"

Humphrey hesitated.

"No, it's fine!"

Eye of Tempus【@

"In this way, the allied forces of the nobles will quickly attract the attention of the Secret Art Alliance. And our legion can withdraw calmly."

"But we can't hide it for a long time. After the nobles find out, they will..."

Humphrey's tone was rarely excited.

"They won't because they're already powerless."

Tempus' tone was as cold as ice.

"That's fine, Earl Glanster's ability is enough to make him an important minister of the center. And the nobles in the western region can also get honor and revenge..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Humphrey lowered his head and responded respectfully.

Although cruel and untrustworthy, such a king is the one who can turn all disadvantages into advantages.

Chapter 14 Serena's Decision

"Have all the sisters rested?"

"Yes, they are all rested."

Elaine looked at Serena who was standing upright in front of her with tired eyes, and said yes softly.

It is now the fifth day since the fighting took place.

Everything was just like Serena's deduction. The airborne troops of the Arcane Alliance easily defeated Baron Valker's troops, and deliberately drove the defeated soldiers all the way to the supply camp where they were located.

Knight Kofi was an upright and brave knight, he immediately notified the nuns to evacuate, and he was cut off from a small number of garrison troops, but he did not agree to accept Serena's command.

It's the same even if Serena took out the saint's token.

In the end, the nuns who had been prepared for a long time and a small number of wounded soldiers successfully escaped from the battlefield, while Knight Kofi and his loyal subordinates all died in battle around the gate of the camp.

Originally, according to Serena's estimate, as long as they don't get close to the nearby supply point, they have a chance to join up with the large army, and finally withdraw back to the country smoothly.

But when she met other nobles who were originally in the rear and learned that the other party was instructed to continue to move forward, she realized that she was in serious trouble.

After Phyllis contacted her father again to no avail, Serena and the others had to confirm a basic fact:

His Majesty the King has decisively carried out a strategic shift in the style of a strong man breaking his wrist, and from a tactical point of view, he is beyond reproach.

It's a pity that they, like Earl Grant and the others, are the ones with the severed wrist...

In the face of such a big situation, Serena's status as a saint is useless. The king obviously knew that the saint Serena was in trouble, but judging from his non-response, it is best for Serena to ask the saint. Goddess Gillian prayed that she would not fall into the hands of the Arcane Alliance.

Also, the aristocratic coalition forces were already trapped in the mountains, and both mobilization and combat became difficult operations.

Rather than trying to rescue them, it would be better to let them fend for themselves there and attract the attention of the Alliance Army.

However, under such a reasonable overall situation, Serena and the others are in an extremely embarrassing situation.

Without a cover force, with the combat power of these nuns, it would be cool to meet any team from the Arcane Alliance;

After losing their vehicles and horses, the mobility of the nuns has also become extremely low;

More importantly, Serena soon realized that the main force of the Mystic Alliance would arrive in this mountainous area in a short time and divide and wipe out the chaotic noble coalition forces.

When it got to that point, she was helpless, at most she took Phyllis and Elaine to escape.

With the current situation, even if she ran back to the capital, Ingrid probably wouldn't have the heart to blame her for anything.

But Serena couldn't swallow this breath by herself!

She is also a generation of kings, why did she suddenly fall to this level?

In her previous life, she had fought dozens of times, but she had never been so embarrassed.

After writing a lot of money to Tempus in the small book in her heart, Serena realized that she had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Abandoning the wounded, old, and infirm nuns, leading a few people to jump out of the encirclement at an accelerated pace, or trying to find a way to bring everyone home with no one missing?

After some weighing, Serena chose the latter.

"I didn't get carried away. Now, we still have a chance."

"At least at this moment, the surrounding mountains are still dominated by Marconians. We will soon be able to join the troops of other nobles and gradually grow stronger."

"As for the main force of the Secret Art Alliance, it is actually impossible to complete the encirclement of the mountain in a short period of time. Based on their actions, they must use a small number of elite squads to drag the net in the mountain, and gradually force the stragglers to the preset encirclement area."

"And speaking of elite squad battles... we are the elite, aren't we?"

Phyllis is not unwilling to admit Serena's elite level, but even if Elaine is included, the elite force formed by two people is really not convincing.

To make matters worse, the other aristocratic armed forces in the mountains are not really stupid.

When they met the friendly army again, the friendly army had already run away wholeheartedly, and didn't want to take the girls like them on the road together at all.

To be honest, from Phyllis's point of view, Serena was just acting out of her temper.

What kind of average quality the nobles of Marconia are, the experience some time ago should be enough to explain.

It is better to count on Serena and Elaine to kill the nobles headed by them and seize the command power than to expect these guys to see the big picture.

Although it will be difficult to explain after returning to China...

Even so, until today, Serena still stubbornly insisted on her own opinion, unwilling to give up these nuns and lead others away first.

Serena, meanwhile, continued to demand with equal obstinacy that her own identity be concealed.

In her words, this is to prevent the nuns around them from having unrealistic fantasies. In that case, when the worst moment comes, they will suffer even more.

In any case, Serena's actions at least won Elaine's sincere respect.

After a few days, Elaine has become the most hardworking person in the team, using her most enthusiastic attitude to constantly encourage her companions.

It was also she who conscientiously checked the situation of the nuns when Serena was deep in thought, and solved problems for everyone.

When the nuns finally cuddled up to each other in a relatively safe cave and fell asleep, Elaine walked out of the cave and looked at Serena who was guarding the commanding height near the cave entrance.

"Everyone's mentality is still calm, but their physical strength can't keep up. Even the younger children are staggering because of the blisters..."
