South.

Are there still such people in the South?

Of course, Latula had also heard about the Wings of the Covering Sky witch organization. Frelia was the leader of one of the most powerful wizard organizations in the southern part of the empire, and because it was composed entirely of girls, it was often a hot topic among the nobles. However, more than half a year ago, a man appeared in this group of witches and became the focus of everyone's criticism.

Sean Weigel.

It seems to be this name, and later King Simon gave it to the other party when he appointed the lord of the new city of Oro!

As the most prestigious marshal in the empire, Latula certainly knew the significance of this, because no matter who was appointed, the Southern Grand Duke Haruman and Prince Philip would argue about the candidate, but when it came to this person, the two fell silent.

The king had chosen his candidate during this period of silence, so Latula certainly didn't believe that the earl had no connections with the upper class...

"We'll talk about this later. Right now, our priority is to store supplies and cut off the enemy's supply." This is the only thing the entire Imperial Army can do at this point.

The two armies have already entered into repeated small-scale harassment operations against each other. They cannot afford large-scale battles until the time is right, so they are consuming each other and waiting to see if there will be an opportunity to take advantage of.

To put it bluntly, they are all waiting for a certain opportunity or the other party to make a mistake.

Such an opportunity is very rare...it requires patience and strategy!

Of course, what is more important is to stabilize the morale of the people and the military of the entire country. As long as the will is not defeated, the battle will not be defeated!

Frelia's suggestion did not attract the attention of many marshals and generals, and they finally discussed daily issues normally. However, at the end of the meeting, Latula allowed Frelia to stay alone.

"There were too many people here just now. We can't discuss this kind of thing in front of everyone. Otherwise, it will spread quickly in the barracks and affect the morale of the troops."

After the other party said this, Frelia realized that she was indeed reckless.

Sitting in the military camp were marshals and generals leading the empire's 600,000-strong army, as well as the leaders of half of the empire's wizard organizations. It was inappropriate to say such threatening words in front of so many people.

There are only a few people who really make the decisions. The more people involved, the more stuck things will become!

"The Grand Marshal said..."

"What I want to ask you is, is your source of intelligence reliable?" Latula is the real leader of the Imperial Army. Almost all the soldiers and civilians of the entire empire are hoping that he can bring about a decisive victory, so every suggestion is worth considering.

"Or let me put it more simply. Can Sean Weigel be trusted?"

"I can guarantee that he is absolutely trustworthy," Frelia said.

"Without any emotion?"

"That's the same. He was the first person to discover that something was wrong with the Earl's Mansion during the Koga City incident, and he was also the only one who realized at the time that a mob was planning a rebellion."

"I have heard of this matter, but I also heard that he was just a baron born in the countryside." Because when the city of Oro was decided to be established, the military once asked him for soldiers suitable for border management, and he sent a captain under his command, so he did some investigation on the trusted earl.

"It doesn't matter where you come from, and the Weigel family is a noble family with over two hundred years of history."

"Over two hundred years! They are indeed an old aristocratic family."

"And he has already made preparations on the border, stockpiling a large number of soldiers at the border and building fortifications." Frelia continued, actually having some selfish motives in her heart.

If Sean can show his talent in the Imperial Army this time, especially if he can win the favor of the Imperial Army God in front of him, it will be very helpful for his future development. Even the Grand Duke and the Prince will not be able to influence him.

"So he's right to assume the Borg will take the long way around to attack the southern part of the Empire."

"Yes," Frelia said firmly.

"Then let's do this. I will personally have the people on the southwest border strengthen the defenses and transfer all the excess imperial troops in the south. But I'm not sure if Oro City can really hold on."

"He's fine."

Frelia said.

Sean has always given me the impression that he is a very smart and low-key person, and he will never take action unless he is absolutely sure.

…………………………

Compared to the half-believing and half-doubting attitude of the North, Sean was busy deploying border defenses. Due to the imperial war, he had sent people to block the buffer zone between the Oro region and Adak.

The border between the two places is a vast mountain range.

There is only one very convenient road in the mountains that allows people to pass through, which is why the Oro region is the only one in the southeast of the empire that borders Adak.

In fact, if you count it, you can come directly to many mountainous areas, but you can't walk through those places at all.

In the depths of nature, there are places where vegetation is so lush that you can't see the sun. There are swamps, wild beasts and all kinds of thorns everywhere. If an army walks in there, most of them may be killed or injured without even having to fight. Therefore, the enemy will not go to those places, and will only attack the valley roads.

In order to give the soldiers of Oro City more fighting space, Sean deliberately extended the defense line to the middle area between the two worlds, built wooden fences and arrow towers outside the old city wall defense, and hid the artillery in a more difficult to climb part of the valley.

"Brother Sean, will the enemy you mentioned definitely attack from here?" Claude, who was standing next to Sean, asked in confusion.

He was among the first to be brought here after receiving the news.

As Sean's most trusted artillery maker, many special deployments must be carried out by him in person.

"Brother Sean?"

There was no reply so Claude called out again.

"Um?"

"You didn't even listen."

"I was thinking about something and didn't pay attention. What did you say just now?" Sean asked back.

"Well, forget it. We're already here, so just do whatever we want to do." Claude seemed indifferent...

But Sean next to him was always paying attention to the layout of the arrow tower in front.

"If we put up another arrow tower in front, will there be two?"

"Ah, what do you mean, Brother Sean?" He looked at the tower being built below in confusion...

Sean didn't answer because it was difficult to answer.

He had seen in his dreams before the scene where the enemy pushed down two connected arrow towers and attacked the city wall, but it was only a brief moment, and there were no such two arrow towers at the moment.

During this period, Sean often saw things about the past that he did not know about in his dreams. At the same time, things happening in the present would occasionally appear, but things happening in the future rarely appeared.

If I could see a certain scene in the future, would those things that would happen after it happened be prevented from happening if I tried my best to avoid it?

Or is it simply impossible to avoid the predetermined future?
