Andre's hands drooped slightly as he turned around and faced the man who had just spoken with impeccable politeness.
"Hello, Vice Squad Leader."
As for Ogyust, he was not so careful and said casually, "Richard, what's the situation in the plague territory? The key to the success of our plan lies in the Lord of Pestilence's camp. "
If Bai Xiaowen were here, he would definitely recognize that this Richard was the Starlink Awakened he had encountered in the Aaron Plane as "Prince Richard"!
It was also from Richard that Bai Xiaowen heard of the existence of the Starlink for the first time.
The sentence "Above the Starlink are the gods, below the Starlink are all living beings" also vividly exposed the superior mentality of the Starlink Awakened when facing the natives of Earth.
At this time, Richard was not so arrogant when facing Ogyust and Andre. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Squad Leader. Everything is going according to plan."
Ogyust nodded and said, "Very good. Today, we used Basuvius Castle as bait and successfully captured the Knossolis tribe, the Empire's Western Expedition Army, and all of Nicholas IV's elite armed forces. If the plague virus is really as effective as you say, then it won't be long before these poisoned people transform into the Undead of Pestilence and become our allies. "
After a pause, Ogyust said, "The main point is that the surface world has lost its resistance. Without Nicholas IV and the Empire's regular army, the huge Gorse Empire will only become a pile of loose sand. With this plague army as the vanguard, we can quickly grow from battle to battle and expand the size of the army. "
Richard smiled and said, "After that, we can go to the underground world for a punitive expedition. The Drow Empire will also be greatly weakened and unable to resist the Undead of Pestilence. "
"After the basic unification is completed, we will form a group to besiege the Lord of Pestilence and set things right with the conservative nobles' camp." Ogyust smiled and said, "As long as we can complete these steps and unify the weakest conservative nobles' camp, our team will be able to obtain a very exaggerated war contribution!"
"The premise is that we have enough time to stay. The squad leader must become the leader of the camp as soon as possible," Richard said seriously.
"There's no hurry now. I still have nearly ten days left in the third phase of the main mission. In addition, Kolamans was of some use. After I take complete control of the conservative nobles and wipe out the remaining military forces of the Empire, I will directly wear the yellow robe and ascend to the throne. It won't be too late to kill Kolamans then. "
Suddenly, Andre's expression changed and he closed his eyes.
His psychic fluctuations spread out, and he carefully sensed his surroundings. Then, he opened his eyes and said, "There's an army coming from the southeast … They're very close. They're less than two miles away!"
"What? Where are the sentries? Do they eat for free? "Ogyust said in shock and anger.
"Don't blame the sentries … That army seems to have used some sort of concealment method! Otherwise, I would have discovered it earlier. "Andre forced himself to calm down." Squad leader, vice squad leader, I suggest that we immediately prepare for battle. "
"Right now, we only have the seven private armies of the conservative nobles! I haven't taken full control of the army yet! "
Ogyust rushed towards the campsite and said loudly, "I will forcibly gather them! But don't expect the other six nobles to contribute much. We can only rely on the private army of Basuwey! "
These days, Ogyust had taken control of Basuwey's territory. With his tyrannical strength and clever methods, he had taken control of the territory's private army. This was also the reason for his brazen 'patricide'. His cheap father, Duke Basuwey, had lost his value. If he didn't die, who would?
Ogyust's next plan was to use the name of the fake Emperor Kolamans to reorganize the private armies of the six nobles. In the process, he would strengthen his control of the army step by step, turning it into an iron plate.
However, this would undoubtedly take time. Currently, the private armies of the other six nobles were firmly in the hands of the nobles, and their orders were not unified.
The enemy seemed to know that they could no longer hide. They sped up their march, and the two-mile distance was covered in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it … We've been played!"
Richard, who was in the shadows, looked at the military flag of the Gorse Empire and the oppressive Emperor Nicholas IV with a bitter smile.
Nicholas IV and the Imperial Army, who should have been infected by the improved version of the Plague of the Dead in Basuwey's castle, had actually appeared here.
Then who were the Imperial Army in Basuwey's castle?
"Charge!"
Nicholas IV obviously would not give these people an explanation. Seeing that the allied noble army of the West Sand Province had just assembled and was in a chaotic formation, as an experienced commander, he would certainly not be pedantic and wait for the enemy to reorganize their formation before attacking.
The elite cavalry of the Empire's Western Expedition Army majestically charged into the enemy's formation.
Archers shot from the flanks, infantry formations pushed forward, and priests chanted divine spells to buff the soldiers.
This was the strength of the Gorse Empire's regular army, the most powerful force on the surface of the Cain Dimension.
"Compared to the war against the survivors in the Northland Province, it's a world of difference."
Hiding behind Emperor Nicholas IV's guards, Bai Xiaowen commented in the team channel. "That's right. At that time, Nicholas only brought Count Denton and an elite unit of the Empire's regular army. There weren't many of them, so he enlisted the noble private army as cannon fodder. The Imperial Army on this battlefield is all regular elites. They're indeed extraordinary. "
"Should we participate in the attack?" Qiao Rui asked in a low voice.
"No need. With the weak combat power of the West Sand aristocrats' private army, they're no match for Nicholas IV. And it seems that the enemy hasn't integrated their army yet. They're in a state of fighting on their own. In this case, even if there are five or ten times more Awakened in the Divine Court, they won't be able to reverse the situation. "
In a war of tens of thousands of people, the Awakened could only play a limited role. No matter how strong an Awakened was, their physical and mental strength would eventually be exhausted. How many soldiers could they kill? One hundred? Or two hundred?
Even a summoner like Bai Xiaowen, who had a cheap undead army of summons, would find it difficult to compete with an organized elite army. Unless the enemy's individual strength was too weak, the Butcher could achieve a state of perpetual motion, and the resurrection of the Delifa's corpse, only then would they have a chance.
Generally speaking, the Awakened could play the role of surprise troops. In a military battle, they could carry out the decapitation tactic to kill the enemy's commander, causing the enemy to lose command and become chaotic. They could then defeat the enemy as the weak.
But Nicholas IV was a lord. It would not be so easy to kill him.
