Ark Undead

The horn spoke.

"I don't know what the city of Londinium is like, so I dare not launch an attack on Londinium blindly."

“I can die on the battlefield, but I do not wish to die recklessly and foolishly.”

There was no fear of death in the horn's tone.

Perhaps in the past few months, the departure of comrades one by one has already become the main theme of life.

Now, you can go out on missions with the Horn and keep up with her pace, while the Bagpipes are on their own. You can already glimpse some of the overall picture.

"However, I can mobilize some soldiers from nearby villages, numbering around a thousand. And they are all veterans I know, leading legions. I can't guarantee their combat capabilities, but they will absolutely be loyal in completing the mission."

Horn stares at Scout.

"Now, tell me, what kind of help can you provide for us, envoy from the Great Yan?"

It seems that because Scout was carrying Chen's letter, Horn assumed he was an envoy from the Great Yan.

It's no wonder that Horn arranged accommodation for Scout immediately.

They're treating him like an envoy.

"First of all, I want to clarify that Rhodes Island, as a pharmaceutical company, has no military relationship with Great Yan... at least in this war, Great Yan has no intention of interfering."

Scout originally intended to distance himself from Da Yan based on Rhodes Island's principle of neutrality.

But after considering the existence of immortals, he added another statement.

"Secondly, the fact that we received Officer Chen's letter does not mean that we have any connection with Da Yan. It's simply because Rhodes Island and Lungmen have a partnership that we obtained information from Officer Chen through this channel."

"Strictly speaking, Rhodes Island will also maintain a neutral stance in this war and will not interfere in any country's external or internal wars."

Scout spoke beautifully, and the horn listened very attentively.

Scout finished making these statements, and then Horn nodded.

"I've said all the polite words, and I've taken note of them. When I submit the report later, I'll write it exactly as you described. Now, can you tell me the real situation?"

With Horn playing so well, Scout stopped hiding his identity.

He placed his hand on the map and said.

"We have established contact with the city of Lentinium. Moreover, we are cooperating with the Aslan royalists. I can tell you that some local residents in Lentinium have begun to try to resist the rule of the false king Kazdel."

"Furthermore, the infected organization 'Reunion Movement' will become the first banner raised to instigate internal strife."

"It won't be long before the war between the Sarkaz begins in the lower city of Londinium."

After hearing these messages, Horn was also stunned for a moment.

I almost didn't realize it.

"The royalists?! And the Reunion Movement?"

Horn cleared his head.

"So, Ms. Vina, the current heir to the Athlan royal family, is on Rhodes Island? You've also allied with the Reunion Movement, but as far as I know, didn't the Reunion Movement fall apart more than a year ago?"

Scout smiled.

"To correct you, it wasn't us who joined forces with Reunion; it was Reunion's own decision. It has nothing to do with Rhodes Island."

"Among the infected organizations that cooperate with Rhodes Island, only 'Shield of the Infected' is an organization whose primary purpose is peace and protection of the Infected."

"So here's the question: if a breach is created in Londinium City under the guise of an infected riot, how many Victorian soldiers do you think would be willing to participate in the suppression of the infected?"

Horn finally snapped out of it and realized what Scout really meant.

If someone can open a breach in Lentinium and disrupt the military garrisons now under Kazdel's control...

Therefore, anyone with even a little courage and ambition would not let such an opportunity slip through their fingers.

This gave those nobles a reason to take action.

Realizing this, Horn's expression turned strange as he looked at Scout.

"Is Rhodes Island really just a pharmaceutical company?"

Scout shrugged.

"you guess?"

480. Homeland

To attack Lontinium, it seems Rhodes Island has done the same thing before.

After all, Rhodes Island had once captured Chernobog.

But in reality, the difference is significant.

First, the size of Chernobog and Lentinium is a major issue.

Chernobog is just a small, peripheral town in Ursus. Although it is a mobile city, Chernobog's core area is not very large, and the separated core area has almost no civilians.

Rhodes Island can use all sorts of methods to make its mark in this quiet little town.

But Lentinium is different.

Londinium was the capital of Victoria, and its architecture and facilities are a complex issue that is difficult to define.

Since the construction of the mobile city, Lentinium has undergone countless expansions, and the added modules have been designed by different designers.

Many things seem simple, but once you get to know them, you realize that the urban planning of Lentinium is truly astonishing.

Furthermore, this time, the Rhodes Island team will not be facing the same rabble as the previous Reunion Movement.

None of the Kazdel mercenaries, including the Kazdel regular army, are pushovers.

The Reunion Movement, which initially consisted of only some Kazdel mercenaries, managed to smuggle the Chernobog core area.

With a regular army now, plus the monsters from the Abyss Nest, the fighting power of the entire Kazdel faction is immeasurable.

This is why, even with a PhD present, they dare not act rashly, but instead seek more help first.

This is not something that can be done just by talking about it.

The horns and bagpipes were certainly aware of this. Otherwise, why wouldn't even the Victorian soldiers dare to rashly march into Londinium?

"The first thing is the defensive structures of the city walls."

After confirming that Rhodes Island would provide assistance, Horn promptly began to brief Scout on the entire garrison situation in Lontinim.

"The city's defensive cannons are a major hurdle. Originally, the cannons in Londinium were designed to protect the people. However, since the last revolution in Victoria, the cannons have never been fired since they were built. I never expected that they would fall into enemy hands and fire for the first time, and that it would be these despicable invaders."

Speaking of this, perhaps everyone who hears it will find it somewhat laughable.

But this is also the most troublesome hurdle.

"The city defense cannons were very powerful, but there are no records of actual combat to show exactly how powerful they were. We can only speculate based on the descriptions of the tests at the time."

After a moment of contemplation, the horn spoke.

"The consumption is proportional to the power. It's estimated that one shot can destroy a building. After all, the relevant data on the city defense cannons are being kept secret."

"So, if you can really blast a hole in the city wall, we can reduce a lot of our losses."

"Because the city defense cannons require time to adjust their direction. By default, the city defense cannons are aimed outside the city and cannot be aimed inside."

In other words, if the first riots started from inside the city, then when the city's defensive cannons turned their muzzles inward, the army outside the city could pour into Londinium through the breach without resistance, then capture the high walls and remove the first layer of defense from Kazdel's army.

As Horn gestured on the map, Scout gave a wink to the operator following him, signaling him to write everything down.

"Then came the battle that took place in the city of Londinium."

The horn moves the finger into the lower city area.

"The lower city has been divided into areas to hold infected people at different levels. The infected people in these areas cannot understand each other or exchange information. Of the scouts we sent in, only one came out. The other warriors are probably still being held inside."

This is the limitation of the horn.

The Victorian regular army is now fragmented, lacking a supreme commander to unify the overall situation, all because of the disintegration of Parliament.

Even though the horn could contact some soldiers who were willing to go to Lentinium with her to contribute their strength, there were no other means to communicate with the people in Lentinium.

Especially the Victorian Resistance Army, which was silently resisting.

"We can handle this."

Scout said.

"The Royalists of Aslan have the ability to establish a connection between Rhodes Island and Lontinim. Rhodes Island can serve as a transit point and intermediary between the regular army and the Royalists."

"But the army cannot become the private property of the royalists. Unless... unless it is a true king who can influence military decisions to a certain extent."

The bugle call hesitated somewhat; this was an ironclad order from the army.

Initially, when Victoria was liberated, the slogan was to return power to the people. However, many years later, even though power has ultimately been concentrated in the hands of the upper parliament and the nobility, the rule that the army must not obey royalists remains an ironclad law.

Otherwise, if the military had intervened in the royalist struggle, Victoria would probably not be what it is today.

"So, it's Rhodes Island."

Scout offered his opinion with a smile.

“We are not an empty shell; we can be a platform that connects you two. There is no such thing as the army and the royalists forming a secret alliance.”

"Furthermore, if I may be so blunt..."

Scout said this with a pointed remark.

"At this critical juncture, neither the Unicorns nor the Drak royalists have yet produced a qualified king to take charge. Only the leader of the Aslan royalists has raised the banner... perhaps it's only a matter of time?"

Upon hearing this, even the bugle fell silent.

Yes, based on the current clues, it's almost a certainty that the Aslan royalists will come to power.

"But that young lady is not the king after all; she is a spokesperson for the royalist party."

The bugle's words became firm.

"However, as you said, at this crucial moment, even one leader is enough."

Scout nodded slightly; he had accomplished his purpose for this trip.

This was something the doctor had told him in private.
