My queen always makes my survival more difficult

"Thank you"

I handed the water bag to Edith. We had been walking without even drinking a sip of water. Now that we had finally had a short break, we should drink some water before continuing.

"What do you say about the fortress?"

"This fortress is much stronger than I thought. Even if we don't come to support it, we can definitely hold it as long as we defend it. It's hard to believe how the first queen led the army to break through this fortress. So I was very curious and walked around the fortress. It can be said that there are very few weaknesses. The first queen probably possessed a very powerful military force. At least the military force at that time suppressed the fortress, so she was able to do this. If it were just normal, breaking through this fortress would definitely not be a simple matter. We don't need to look at it anymore. We have taken a look around here. What can I say..."

Edith looked outside the fortress with a complicated expression.

"This is a battlefield, no doubt. Clear marks can be seen everywhere. These are left behind by the battle, and they are not so easy to remove... However, for us, it is not too troublesome."

"what are you talking about?"

"This battlefield, the terrain and everything has completely changed. It's different from what I know. I've memorized the terrain here. It will be useful in the future, but it's useless now."

"What on earth are you memorizing?"

"You should remember these things. Since this is for the Kingdom of Edvira, you should pay attention to even the smallest details. Why do you keep losing to me? Do you really have no idea?"

"I..."

I certainly didn't observe these things carefully, but I did remember what I saw and noticed. No matter what happened, as long as these things were needed, I should be able to tell them. It shouldn't be too troublesome, but...

Edith had managed to remember all this stuff, and I didn't know what to say.

"We will have contact with Ulki's army later. Remember this now. It will be useful later."

"Edith, have you figured out how to deal with Ulki?"

"I've thought about it, but I also hope that you can contribute when the time comes. Your strength is not bad, and I will find a way to replenish your strength for you. So, by then, I hope that you can become an unexpected existence."

An unexpected existence...

What Edith said was always vague, but every time it would develop as she expected.

Forget it, I don't need to care so much.

"Let's go back and see Lenora and Nadia, and then continue to check around the fortress this afternoon."

"Ah...okay..."

Chapter 276 A Short Break

"Sister, you're back, uh... asshole, get out of here!"

"How did I provoke you?"

I didn't intend to care about what Nadia wanted to say, so I just walked in. I was so tired, I wanted to take a rest for a while.

Edith walked towards the room where Patricia and Lenora were. I didn't mind, but seeing Lenora like that made me feel so uncomfortable that I even wanted to run out and kill someone...

"Hey! Bastard!"

"My name is Nuo Xiu. I saved you after all. Can you please stop being such a jerk all the time? I didn't provoke you, did I?"

"Shut up asshole!"

Forget it, there's no point in talking to this kind of person.

I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. As for the fortress, Edith was there, so there was basically nothing to worry about. What I was worried about was Lenora. Given her personality, I wondered what she would think if she became like that...

I don't know what kind of person Ulki is, that bastard, but he actually used such despicable means. He is definitely a bastard who can't be more of a bastard.

How on earth did Edith manage to save Lenora from Ulqui? It's really hard to believe what Edith did.

"Hey, Nadia, how strong is your sister?"

"Of course it's above me!"

"No way..."

I have never fought with Edith, so I don't know how strong Edith is. What does this person want to do? I have witnessed Nadia's strength. This little girl is pretty good. It is amazing that she can reach that level. But what I didn't expect is that Edith's strength is even above Nadia's.

Is she really chasing perfection?

But no matter what, there is no real perfection in this world.

"So you want to fight me? Then you'll know how strong onee-sama is."

"Forget it... I'm not interested in fighting you. I know how powerful you are. If Edith is more powerful than you, that means she has the same strength as me now. What kind of power can reach this level?"

"I don't know what power onee-sama has."

"You don't know either?"

"Yes"

Nadia nodded. She really didn't know what kind of power her elder sister had. She only knew that her elder sister was indeed very powerful.

"That's too much! You're her sister, and you don't even know her powers?"

"No matter what Sister-sama does, she will do her best to achieve perfection. I have never seen Sister-sama's power, so I don't know what it is. I only know that it is a very powerful power. Once, someone attacked Sister-sama, but she solved it by herself. The strength of those assassins is not inferior to the assassin who attacked you last time."

"Tsk, your elder sister probably wants to be the most powerful person in the world, right?"

"Maybe my goal is to become the most powerful person in the world."

As they were talking, Edith came out.

"Do you really want to know my power?"

"Forget it, I have a feeling that even if you tell me, it might not be true...Should we set off?"

"Um"

"Aren't you going to take a break?"

"Time is limited, so cherish it. Let's go and see the world."

Doesn't this guy get tired?

Why do you have to go to this extent...

Chapter 277 3D Map

"Ha...I'm so tired."

At night, I can finally come back and have a good rest.

I walked with Edith for the whole day, and walked through the fortress and its outskirts thoroughly. This guy seemed to be enjoying it very much. He had no intention of stopping or resting. He walked everywhere and visited every place he could go.

As a result, we haven't eaten lunch or dinner yet, and just drank a lot of water...

I'm starving. The cafeteria in the fortress is closed at this time. Even if I want to eat, I have to trouble Joe. So I have to give up today and wait until tomorrow morning.

My feet are so sore from walking that I have no feeling in them. I always feel like I have lost the feeling in the soles of my feet.

"It's just this level, can't you bear it? You are such a useless person."

"You guys, do you usually go out and about with Edith like this?"

"Wherever Onee-sama goes, I will be by her side and will never leave her side for even a moment."

Her loyalty is almost that of a dog. Well, this is a good thing. After all, she cares about Edith so much, so Edith will not be alone. I am very curious, what will Edith become if she is alone?

Edith silently took off her shoes, and there were a few blisters on her feet...

Oh my god, this guy also walked on a blister and didn't even say a word...

Isn't she afraid of pain?

"Sister, are you okay?"

"Ah, nothing, Nadia, I have already got all the maps of the fortress. Now let's start building the map. I need a map."

"Sister, you just came back, why don't you take a rest for a while?"

"No, I'm afraid I'll forget by then. Start now, unleash your power and build a map with me."

"Yes!"

The two of them started working again, seemingly to construct a map, but what did constructing a map have to do with power? I really didn't understand, so I walked over.

"What are you doing here?"

Nadia looked at me with resistance.

"It's okay. He's walking with me today, so let him take a look at the map he's about to create."

The map I'm about to create? I really don't understand what kind of map I'm going to create.

Nadia unleashed her power, and the water on the light array seemed solid, unable to disperse. Then she placed her hand on Edith's forehead. Gradually, a pale blue light emerged from Edith's forehead, then slid into the water. Those blue light spots began to move irregularly, as if alive. Then Nadia placed her hand on my forehead. I couldn't help but feel that this person was looking at me with disdain, as if she was disgusted by me...

Damn, this guy...

Gradually, I felt like something was taken away from me. I suddenly couldn’t remember some of the things I knew before. Could it be that something was taking away my memory?

After a while, she let go of her hand, wiped it on my clothes, and looked at me with disgust.

This little girl...

"Then let's get started, Nadia."

"Yes, Onee-sama."

Nadia seemed to have started something, and the water suddenly became unstable and kept changing. Then I saw an incredible scene. The blue spots of light in the water gradually intertwined to form a picture. The picture was a map of the fortress and its surroundings.

But... if it's just a map, it can't be done to this extent.

"Are you thinking about something rude? Watch carefully."

Nadia lifted up the entire fortress, along with everything around it...

"3D map???"

Chapter 278 Edith's Plan

It turned out to be a 3D map, which really scared me. I didn’t expect to see such a 3D map in this world.

Moreover, it is a three-dimensional map of the fortress and its surrounding areas, and it seems that it can be enlarged or something. It is simply incredible!

"I input all of your memories into my power, and then constructed a map. So, to create this map, you must experience it firsthand and remember it well. Generally speaking, people who haven't been trained in combat can't complete this task. In the entire Kingdom of Edvira, no one except the scouts of our Rom family can do this. This is also invented by my elder sister."

It was actually invented by Edith, what an amazing power...

"But why create a 3D map of the fortress instead of a 3D map of the outside?"

I was very curious. What she created was a 3D map of the fortress, not a 3D map of the battlefield outside. Why was it a fortress?

"The fortress is the most important. I don't think it will hold out for long. It will be breached sooner or later. The scouts I sent out have returned. According to intelligence, reinforcements from Zebikra will arrive on the battlefield soon. This is just a temporary lull. There will be even bigger battles later, and the fortress is our main battlefield."

Main battlefield...

Taking the fortress as the main battlefield, it is true that you can gain an advantage inside the fortress, but what about letting the enemy into the fortress?

If anything goes wrong, the fortress will be captured by the enemy. Not only will we not win, we may even be...completely defeated.

"Don't you believe me?"

"No, I'm just a little worried. If we let the enemy in like that, will something happen? Have you considered this?"

"I've thought a lot about this. Besides, the next battle will be our passive battle, not our active attack."

Passive combat...

"Once the enemy reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult for us to take the initiative and even... we won't be able to make any offensive plans. The supporting troops and the troops in the fortress only add up to 30,000. I won't let my soldiers fight a losing battle, nor do I want them to die in vain. Therefore, the fortress will be the next battlefield. Outside... we don't have many cavalry to begin with. Even if we fight on the plains, who do you think will win, 30,000 infantry against nearly 50,000 cavalry?"

"I..."

Edith was right. If the gap in numbers was too big, it would be like seeking death instead of fighting.

"Inside the fortress, cavalry is useless. The infantry of the Kingdom of Edvira were all trained by Siliya and Patisia. They have strong combat abilities. Furthermore, the fortress is our advantageous terrain. The soldiers are familiar with every part of the fortress and can fight the enemy no matter where they are."

Um...

Relying on the fortress as our battlefield and then fighting unexpectedly is a good idea, but can it really be implemented?

I'm not doubting Edith's thoughts, but would the enemy really be so stupid as to attack?

It all depends on the enemy. If the enemy doesn't attack...

Our efforts are just in vain. Does Edith have any great confidence?
