Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

"I see... It turns out that the first scene that Roland only mentioned casually in casual conversation before has become such a big deal!"

After learning about the situation in Europe during this period, Artluchi was very surprised.

She didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Roland actually conquered Elquet... and even set up the Far East Magic Society, which greatly forced the Magic Association, which had nothing to do with the Dead Apostles War, to completely end it.

After Roland came here last time, he didn't do nothing when he returned.

Instead, he returned and asked Elquet to come to the Magic Association's territory from time to time to create psychological pressure on the Magic Association. It felt as if Elquet was about to attack the Supreme Council.

After that, the Magic Association sent people to find me as quickly as possible.

Good at playing~!

When she thought of this part, Artelluchi smiled.

"As expected of Roland, the Magic Association's plan was calculated by him from beginning to end~"

"In that case, I will accept this cannon fodder unit!"

Altruci said this and knocked on the table with one hand.

Following her action, the messenger recovered from the controlled state, as if nothing had happened just now, and directly brought up the topic of inviting the Altluchi Alliance.

Just now, Artluqi had already asked about the other party's bottom line.

So the negotiations went extremely smoothly.

After that, the Magic Association started to operate.

Although many magic families have fled to the Far East Magic Association, the Magic Association has existed for so many years after all, and it still has some foundation - this time they directly formed several punitive forces and stationed them on the beach.

The Magic Association's high-profile move naturally attracted the attention of the Dead Apostles who had been very active in Europe during this period.

Even the Holy Church, which had been fighting the Dead Apostles for some time, turned its attention over.

Then they discovered that the huge Fool had landed under the escort of multiple expeditionary forces of the Magic Association - and then the black princess Altuluchi, who had disappeared for a while, returned with her subordinates!

And this time, it's not just her, the Black Knight, the White Knight and Fu Fu on her side.

There is also the Magic Association's punitive force!

She made no attempt to conceal the fact that she had returned to Europe, and immediately after returning, she ordered the Magic Association's punitive forces to attack the White Wing Prince's multiple territories.

Several small units of the elite Dead Apostles of Lord White Wing in the European branch were surrounded and wiped out!

It's obviously a tit-for-tat posture!

It seemed as if Prince White Wing was totally unprepared for this, and he kept retreating until Altluchi had cleared a large enough area by the sea. Then she gathered all the dead apostles in that area and sent a remote communication to other ancestors who could participate in the Dead Ancestors Conference - even Prince White Wing was involved.

Then, Altruci issued a declaration to all the Dead Apostles.

The manifesto is long and contains a lot of content.

But the general meaning is one.

That is...

"I'm back, I'm back as the King of the Dead Apostles!"

After hearing this declaration, Lord White Wing sneered and directly ordered the elite army of Dead Apostles to assemble.

With his movements, and the fact that Elquet had not been traveling around for a while, Europe, which had been in chaos before, finally became quiet.

However, this silence does not mean the end of the incident.

Rather, it means that a bigger storm is coming.

Everyone knows that following Heiji's declaration, Lord Baiyi is assembling his army.

The War of the Dead Apostles has broken out!

.....Man..

66. White and Black

Roland has been living in Einzbernburg during this period.

After the White Wing Prince had assembled his army, fighting had started in almost every region of Europe, but the area around Einzbern Castle was still quiet with only the sound of wind and snow to be heard.

Roland leaned on the sofa in the bedroom, holding Medea in his right hand and holding a chess piece in his left hand, intending to place it on a huge chessboard.

Of course, there was no one across from him.

But even if there is someone opposite him, I'm afraid he won't be able to play this game of chess.

After all, although the chessboard in front of Roland was a chess board, the pieces on it included not only chess pieces, but also black and white pieces from Go, flat pieces from chess, hat pieces from checkers, and even upright mahjong tiles.

I'm afraid no one except Roland knows what the rules of this game are.

But Roland himself enjoyed playing.

Medea looked at it for a long time but still didn't understand it. However, she didn't want to disturb Roland's thinking, so she didn't ask.

Roland noticed this, and casually dropped the white king chess piece in his hand into a pile of go pieces on the right side of the chessboard. Then he leaned back on the sofa and began to explain to Medea.

"It's hard to understand just looking at this chess game, after all, the rules of this game are not within the rules of these games, but outside the board."

Roland said this first, and then changed the subject.

"Recently, the Dead Apostle War broke out. Although there hasn't been a large-scale clash between Altuluchi and the Magic Association's punitive forces and the White Winged Lord and his elite Dead Apostles, the small-scale fights have become increasingly intense."

"In addition to the Dead Apostles, our Far East Magic Association is also constantly exchanging with the Magic Association."

Medea heard Roland begin to explain, and although she still didn't quite understand it, she also laughed.

After all, she knew it very well.

If the current situation is very stressful, or even a little out of control, Roland will not explain it to her. He will just act as usual and keep the pressure to himself.

Just like when we dealt with Gilgamesh.

And now that he has started to explain, it means that the situation is completely fine, and we even have a big advantage.

This is something to be happy about.

Seeing her like this, Roland knew exactly what she was thinking, so he scratched her nose helplessly and continued talking.

"We are exchanging the Magic Association's territories in central, northern, and eastern Europe for our own. We are also encroaching on the west, and will later hand over the territories in the south and most of the border areas to the Magic Association."

"The reason for this is that Altluci's base is located in the west and south, close to the sea. So if we deliberately give up this part of the territory, it will give the Magic Association the illusion that we are avoiding a head-on collision with Altluci."

"And they have already stood on the side of Altuluchi, so now in this exchange, they are also constantly raising the stakes."

Having said that, Roland reminded Medea.

"Of course, because Eltluchi only operates in coastal areas, we just need to let Elquite move to areas not near the sea, and the initiative of this exchange will be in our hands."

"To do so would be to sink the Magic Association's capital."

Hearing what Roland said, Medea was not stupid, so she reacted to some extent.

"After Altruchi gathered a lot of Dead Apostles, she will start to deal with the problems between Dead Apostles and humans in her territory?"

Roland nodded.

"Yes, after all, Altruci came back as the King of the Dead Apostles, so it would be too embarrassing if she didn't even have a troop of Dead Apostles under her command. And although she is still relying on the Magic Association's subjugation troop to fight, she also knows that even without us, the Dead Apostles are still her own people, and the Magic Association is an outsider."

"It's only natural that she would pay more attention to the Dead Apostles. That's why we are helping her to force the Magic Association to sink more capital into Altuluchi's territory."

"In this case, by then, the territory of our Far East Magic Association will be inland. The territory of the Magic Association is generally close to the sea. As long as Altluci doesn't go too far, the Magic Association, whose territories are mostly in Altluci's territory, will not cut off its ties with Altluci even if it is wronged."

"Then they will have to become Altluchi's sacrifice to bribe the Dead Apostles, clash with the White Winged Lord's elite Dead Apostles, and have to deal with us at the same time. With enemies from three sides, even a Magic Association with a long history will be finished~"

Now Europe is talking about the War of the Dead Apostles.

But in fact, the war between Altluci and Prince White Wing is only superficial. There is also a war between the Magic Association and the Far East Magic Association in secret.

Then the Far East Magic Association and Altuluchi are in the same group.

And now the Magic Association will be the first to be eliminated.

That is indeed a great advantage.

Medea felt that she had figured it out, and Roland stood up and stretched.

The game of chess was almost finished. He slept with Medea last night, and after waking up in the morning, he set up the chessboard and sorted out the situation. Now that it was almost done, it was time for him to look around.

After all, in addition to what he and Medea said, Roland actually had another question that he didn't say.

That is, he didn't know the White Wing Prince's trump card.

Roland looked down on the White Winged Prince, who was in charge of reviving the six dark kingships and who didn't even dare to sit on the throne in his own home.

But when the real fight comes, Roland will not underestimate anyone tactically.

So since there are still doubts about this part, he has to investigate it a little bit.

Roland greeted Medea, told her to have a good rest, and asked the maid to prepare breakfast for her before leaving.

After Roland left, Medea listened to Roland's analysis of the situation and found that the extremely messy chessboard that Roland had set up before suddenly became clear.

The chess pieces divided above represent the various forces in Europe today.

After understanding this, she understood the game of chess.

but

Medea looked at the white king chess piece that Roland finally placed on the chessboard, and she became puzzled.

The only move she couldn't understand in this game was this one.

Because according to the conversion, the white king chess piece represents Prince White Wing, and the white go pieces surrounding the white king chess piece represent the Far East Magic Association.

She was a little puzzled as to why Roland defined Altluchi, one of their own people, as a black chess piece. She was even more puzzled as to why the chess piece representing the White Wing Prince appeared on their side.

In the end, Medea just thought that maybe because the White Wing Prince was related to white, she chose white, and Altluki was black, so she chose black. The last move was made by Roland just to explain himself...

but......

Is it really?

"It looks like the situation is not good now~"

Anhans looked at the White Wing Prince and sneered.

When Altluci made his declaration, the White Wing Duke ordered his army to be assembled, and he thought the war was finally about to begin - but he did not expect that after maintaining the situation, the White Wing Duke was reluctant to fight a decisive battle.

This left him with no choice but to stay here and laugh at Lord White Wing.

But Prince White Wing didn't care about Anhans's ridicule at all. He just shook the red wine in the glass and spoke innocently.

"Not good? What's wrong?"

He said this first, and then after seeing Anhans's surprised expression, he smiled and continued speaking.

"Anhans, I've told you before that we can't just look at the surface of things. For example, what do you think the impact of the alliance between Altluchi and the Magic Association will have on Europe today?"

Hearing the question from Prince Bai Yi, Anhans was stunned for a moment, then frowned, but still gave an answer.

"Influence? We are suppressed?"

Seeing that Anhans only got such an answer, Duke Bai Yi shook his head slightly and looked at Anhans with pity.

"Anhans, I feel really sorry for your brain. Compared to your backbone, your brain is really ridiculously poor. I'm afraid that even if a zombie that specializes in eating brains comes in front of you, it will shake its head at your head and turn away."

Hearing this, Anhans was about to get angry, but the White Winged Duke changed the subject before he could do so.

"But it's because of you that I believe that even if you have bad intentions, you can't do anything big."

The White Winged Duke had pointed out Anhans once before, and this time he pointed out Anhans again.

Even though Anhans's brain wasn't that good, he knew that his plan to use the Dead Apostle War to hunt more Dead Ancestors was probably known to the White Winged Lord. 1.

But he was not afraid of it. He just spread his hands and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yigong laughed even more happily, and then brought the topic back to the original question.

"Altluki and the Magic Association have joined forces. The impact of this is that Altluki has occupied more territory and gained more support from the Dead Apostles. At the same time... she has also pushed the Far East Magic Association, which controls Bai Ji, to our side~"

"If we compare Europe today to a game of Go, then the moment Altuluchi and the Magic Association chose to place the black chess piece, the Far East Magic Association, which is constantly fighting with the Magic Association, was inherently defined as the white chess piece like us."

"But we don't have an alliance, so maybe we are the white chess and the Far East Magic Association is the white go."

“But that’s about it.”

"So if Altuluqi can unite with the Magic Association, we can naturally unite with the Far East Magic Association."
