"Answer my question. How did you recognize me?" Cecilia asked. She gestured for the other riders to keep their distance.
"Relax, beauty." Camille jumped down from the tree. "I've been keeping an eye on Captain Bai. Not only you, his special follower, but also his new teammates. I've been keeping an eye on all of them. BY
THE
WAY … I've been watching every match of your league. "
"Also, your mount wolf has something to do with Captain Bai, right? It looks similar to his summoned wolf, but it's not as big. "
"You … are also Dior's admirer?" Cecilia narrowed her eyes.
Camille knew who "Dior" referred to, so she didn't ask further. She shrugged, her breasts bouncing up and down. She smiled and said, "I'm not an admirer. I'm just curious and appreciative. Of course, if Bai is willing, I don't mind starting a beautiful international relationship with him."
"Tell me about the creditor." Cecilia was slightly relieved. She patted Rock Back, took out some jerky from her bag, tore it open, and fed it to Rock Back.
After feeding it a large piece of jerky, Camille finished telling her how she met Bai Xiaowen, including how she met Bai Xiaowen at the auction, made a deal with him, and even borrowed 100,000 Soul Points from him.
Cecilia scratched Rock Back's neck and asked it to return to the Wolf Valley.
From Camille's attitude, Cecilia could tell that she wasn't hostile.
"Since you're in Xisha Province, Captain Bai should be here too, right?" Camille asked curiously. "Where is he? Where is he? Since I'm rich now, I can return the Soul Points to him. "
"Dior isn't in Xisha at the moment. He's staying in Central Province to command." Cecilia didn't tell her the truth.
"I see." Camille was a little disappointed. "I really want to see him. Your team should have long-distance communication, right?"
"I'll inform him. But how can I contact you again? "Cecilia asked.
"Here," said Camille, offering Cecilia a deal.
Cecilia accepted it. What the other party gave her was a charm.
[Consonance Talisman (Replica): Special Item. Without the wings of the colorful phoenix, their hearts were as one. When one of the Telepathic Talismans was activated, the other talisman would be activated passively and mark the location of the other talisman. Unable to cross over. Disappears after use.]
Cecilia took the Telepathy Talisman (replica). She asked again, "The faction you cut into is the Drow Empire? What's your relationship with the West Sand Province's aristocratic camp? "
"I'm sorry, I can't reveal that," Camille said, weighing her words carefully. "I can't reveal any information about me … and my companions in any way, including oral statements, notes, hints, metaphors, and so on. I can't."
Cecilia narrowed her eyes. "Then what's the point of meeting the Dior?"
Camille smiled and said, "I don't know what it means either, but since we're fated to meet in the Spiritual Realm, it's a pity that we can't meet."
Camille left, but Cecilia didn't ask her to stay.
Although they were on opposite sides, Cecilia still keenly sensed that this was a target that could be fought for.
The group of more than a dozen riders set off again.
"Madam Cecilia, that drow just now is in cahoots with the murderer who killed Count Denton? She's also an opportunist from the Otherworld, right? "Sister Celine said in a low voice.
"Yes, but she knows the Dior. Maybe they're not enemies."
"… Oh my god, the relationship between opportunists from the Otherworld is really complicated. It's completely different from ours," Sister Celine said.
Cecilia didn't say anything. Now, she was also an opportunist from the Otherworld — a member of the Awakened. Bai Xiaowen's appearance changed her fate. But fortunately, the Cain Realm was still her hometown. The people here didn't see her as an opportunist.
"I need to leave," Cecilia suddenly said.
"Huh? Why? "Sister Celine was a little surprised.
"There's new critical information. I have to report it to the Dior as soon as possible."
Cecilia took out the drawing scroll that Bai Xiaowen had given her from her storage space. After thinking about it, she put it back.
"But I'd better get to His Majesty's side first and finish what the Dior told me to do …"
If Sister Celine and the dozen riders were handed over, Cecilia wouldn't be at ease.
…
The situation in the Xisha Province was unpredictable.
On the surface, three forces were competing with each other: the Gorse Empire's Western Expedition Army, the Knosolis tribal army, and the Xisha Province's noble private army.
But in reality?
The Xisha noble private army was the weakest, but it had the widest source of information.
The Knosolis tribe's strength was in the middle, but Matriarch Cynthia was cunning and had a stable position in the fishing boat.
The Empire's Western Expedition Army was the strongest, but it had the least source of information. It was almost like they were in the dark about the situation in the Xisha Province.
Awakened ones from all three factions had joined the fray. Each of the powerful Awakened ones had their own little plans.
This made the situation in the Xisha Province even more difficult to grasp.
Under Matriarch Cynthia's surveillance, the Western Expedition Army had already marched into Duke Bosuwey's territory.
The other small noble territories in the Xisha Province had basically been abandoned. Thanks to the powerful means of Duke Bosuwey's heir, the Xisha nobles had gathered their private armies into a coalition army and stationed them in Bosuwey Castle.
Of course, it took a lot of effort to persuade those small nobles to give up their ancestral territories and form a coalition army. Ogyust and Andre had basically been doing this for the past few days.
What puzzled Matriarch Cynthia was that the Xisha noble coalition army seemed to have given up on harassing and resisting along the way, allowing the Empire's Western Expedition Army to advance.
"Stupid! If they had separated an army from Bosuwey Castle and used the Xisha Province's geographical advantage to launch guerrilla warfare, they might have had a chance to support Bosuwey Castle. But now that all their military forces are guarding the castle, it's equivalent to surrendering a large area of strategic depth! The Imperial Army can besiege the city without any distractions. No matter how strong the city is, it will fall sooner or later! "
Hearing Matriarch Cynthia's comment, Camille smiled and said, "Although they are stupid, they also meet our strategic plan. They can minimize the Imperial Army's strength and make it easier for us to harvest."
Matriarch Cynthia smiled and said, "Well, these idiots' deaths are worth it."
It took the Empire's Western Expedition Army a day to break through Bosuwey Castle.
Seeing the vanguard of the Imperial Army pouring in, Matriarch Cynthia suppressed the doubts in her heart and ordered the drow army, which had been lying in ambush for a long time, to attack the back of the Imperial Army.
Under the situation of being attacked from the front and back, the rear of the Imperial Army collapsed.
