"What did you say? This is impossible!!"
After hearing what Ophelia said, Bessie said that this was simply impossible and looked incredulous.
Not only him, but all the deputy generals looked at each other in disbelief.
The internal fight between Olena and Manius has been going on for several years. Even the peddlers in the fields knew about their previous fight, which shows how fierce the fight between the two sides has become.
Such a high-intensity struggle has no impact on the army?
Are you kidding me? !
These two are not fools. They both know that the army is the foundation for maintaining rule. Even if Manius possesses incredible personal strength, he can't rule the entire Kingdom of Santa Cruz by himself.
Therefore, Bessie was almost certain that the army would be torn apart by these two people.
Such an army obviously has no combat effectiveness.
But now from what Ophelia said, it seems that things are not what he thought?
"This is the information from the spy I planted in the opposing army not long ago. You will know after you take a look."
Looking at the disbelieving looks of Bessie and many lieutenants, Ophelia knew that it would not be easy to convince these guys without presenting some evidence.
So Ophelia handed the information directly to Bessie.
There, detailed information on the military mobilization of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz was recorded, and even the number of troops was clearly marked, so that with this information, Ophelia could roughly estimate the strength of the enemy forces coming this time.
"Just look at the mobilization of the army here and you will know that the army of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz has never been abandoned. They still have formidable combat power. Moreover, this time they are fighting at home, so they will have the greatest advantage."
Ophelia sighed, feeling very helpless.
It has to be said that Orina's political fortitude is far beyond her imagination.
She had used spies countless times in the country to fan the flames, just to let Orina take action against the army as soon as possible.
But what she didn't expect was that even until the very end, Orina didn't mobilize the army.
This allows the Kingdom of Santa Cruz to maintain a strong counterattack capability when facing sudden attacks.
"The First, Fourth, and Seventh Legions, the Third and Eighth Cavalry Legions, and the Royal Knights? Is this girl crazy? She has put all the most elite troops in the country on the line!"
Seeing the series of numbers on the intelligence, Bessie's eyebrows twitched wildly.
These legions are the most terrifying military forces in the Kingdom of Santa Cruz.
Especially the Royal Knights. Although they have only a few thousand people, their combat effectiveness is extremely amazing. Two or three legions may not be their opponents.
How could the other side be able to mobilize such a large number of elite troops?
For a moment Bessie even thought she was dreaming.
"See? This is the reality we are going to face. The enemy can reach the front line in five days at most. How long will it take us to break through the Barossa Fortress?"
Ophelia's question made all the lieutenants lower their heads in silence.
Because they simply don't know how to answer.
At this moment, the United Kingdom army has penetrated deep into enemy territory. If it does not retreat, it will most likely be surrounded and swallowed up by the enemy.
After all, this is the heartland of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz, and the Barossa Fortress is so strong that it would be impossible to capture it in less than ten days or half a month even if they attack with all their strength.
Once the enemy reinforcements arrive, they will be caught in an awkward situation with a huge wall in front of them and massive enemy troops behind them.
This is simply a way to die.
"Do you have any questions about the order to retreat now?"
Ophelia took back the information and asked calmly.
"Nothing."
Bessie felt a little ashamed. If they really attacked Fort Barcelona with all their strength today as he said, he might even be dead in five days.
"If you don't have any, just follow the orders."
Ophelia wiped her hands calmly and signaled the lieutenants to leave.
"Yes."
Everyone nodded and left one by one.
"The deal between us is that this war ends. Since you took the initiative to withdraw, it cannot be considered as a breach of contract by me."
Just after everyone left, a cold voice sounded in Ophelia's ears.
Chapter 50: Ophelia's Deception
"Since you have withdrawn, I think the deal between us is complete. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
A cold voice sounded in Ophelia's ears. She turned around and found that a woman in black had appeared beside her at some point.
Seeing this woman who was as cold as ice, Ophelia showed a helpless look on her face.
"I thought I could solve this problem once and for all, but now it seems that I made a mistake after all."
Ophelia sighed heavily.
According to her original plan, this battle would not only completely destroy the Kingdom of Santa Cruz, but at least make it so that the Kingdom of Santa Cruz would not be able to confront the United Kingdom of Lanlyon for another fifty years.
Unfortunately, she underestimated Olena and overestimated Manius, and she never expected that a mysterious figure would disrupt this internal struggle.
It has led to the current awkward situation where we are neither here nor there.
To be honest, in this battle, the army of the United Kingdom of Lanlyon led by Ophelia has done very well and achieved quite good results. All they need to do next is to manage it carefully to completely annex the three outer lines of defense of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz.
However, this result is far inferior to Ophelia's psychological goal.
"I don't care about your strategic goals or the reasons for your retreat. In short, I will help you this time, and you will help me see what your king is guarding. This is the agreement between you and me."
It was obvious that the mysterious woman was not interested in Ophelia's feelings.
She just wanted to achieve her goal.
"Yes, we did have such an agreement, but this kind of thing needs to be considered carefully. You know, that thing is not something that anyone can see if they want to."
Ophelia smiled slightly, with a hint of perfunctoriness in her tone.
"I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise, you and your country will regret it."
The woman in black looked at Ophelia extremely seriously, her words full of threats.
If the other party really wanted to break his promise, then she didn't recommend letting Ophelia know what the anger of a cosmic-level strong man would look like.
"Don't worry, since I made an agreement with you, I will definitely abide by it."
As if sensing the danger in the woman's tone, Ophelia quickly nodded to indicate that she would abide by the agreement.
Are you kidding? If a cosmic-level strongman is really determined to be her enemy, then she will never have a good life in this life, and even the entire Lanlyon United Kingdom will suffer.
In that case, the little results achieved in this battle would be nothing at all.
"Very good. By the way, you once said you would help me find someone. How is the search going now?"
After receiving an affirmative response from Ophelia, the woman in black retracted her sharp gaze and changed the subject to another side.
"I'm sorry, although I have tried my best to find the person you are looking for, I still don't have any clues."
Faced with the woman's problem, Ophelia shook her head, indicating that she was powerless.
"Well, in that case I'll take my leave."
After hearing Ophelia's answer, the woman sighed and disappeared without any hesitation.
"I hope you remember your promise."
After he left, only these words were lingering in the military tent.
Although the tone was unusually gentle, as if it was just a normal greeting, Ophelia knew that it was a warning from the other side.
Obviously, the perfunctory attitude that she had accidentally revealed before made the other party very dissatisfied.
"What a difficult guy."
Ophelia grumbled, somewhat distressed.
In order to prevent other cosmic-level powerful beings from hiding in the Kingdom of Santa Cruz, Ophelia made a special agreement with this woman, but now it seems that she has lost more than she gained.
The things guarded by royal families throughout the ages are not so easy to see.
As far as Ophelia knew, the dispute between Prince Manius of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz and Orina was due to this thing.
It finally came to this.
It is conceivable what kind of attitude His Majesty the King would have when she went back and made this request to him.
"We can only think of a way."
Ophelia scratched her head in distress, then unfolded the information in the drawer, which clearly contained the information of the mysterious person who intervened in the civil strife in the Kingdom of Santa Cruz this time.
"Elena... well..."
Looking at the name in the intelligence, Ophelia narrowed her eyes slightly.
Only a very few people know about Alina so far.
Even within the Kingdom of Santa Cruz, only those who attended the grand court meeting that day knew of the existence of such a person.
And for some reason, the other side has apparently begun to block the news.
If their spies had not been planted deep enough, it would have been impossible for them to know any information about Elena. They might not even be able to dig out the name Elena.
"Another cosmic-level expert from another continent. This is quite interesting."
Looking at Elina's intelligence information, Ophelia sneered.
Now it seems that the person Naven has been looking for is this person named Alina. What she needs to do now is to keep Alina's information absolutely confidential to Naven.
The other party happened to be hiding Elena's information, which actually helped her.
If two cosmic-level powerhouses from alien continents were allowed to meet up, it would not be a good thing if they became hostile to the three countries on this continent.
Although Ophelia knew that this method would not last long, at this moment, she could only take one step at a time.
Thinking of this, Ophelia threw all the information about Elena into the fire basin, and it turned into ashes.
"March out, withdraw!"
As Ophelia issued the order, the 500,000 troops of the United Kingdom of Lanlyon began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
They were extremely cautious when they retreated, and even the legion responsible for the rear guard waited until the main force had completely left before slowly leaving the Barossa Fortress.
They even faked many military camps in order to deceive their opponents.
Therefore, when the defenders of Fort Barossa realized that the enemy had begun to retreat, the enemy had already disappeared for a day or two.
"Finally gone."
The defender of Barossa Fortress wiped a cold sweat after seeing the enemy retreat.
If the other side really started to attack, he really didn't know if he could hold on.
On the fifth day, when the army of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz arrived at the Barossa Fortress, there was no trace of the enemy.
The brutal battle they had imagined did not occur, instead there was only an eerie silence.
"This time, my sister won the bet."
Looking at the tents left behind by the retreating enemy troops, Senya breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 51: The Anxiety of the Continental Will
"This time, my sister won the bet."
Looking at the empty tents, Senya breathed a sigh of relief.
To outsiders, the several legions of the Santa Cruz Kingdom seemed to be full of morale, and were rushing towards the Barossa Fortress with great momentum.
But Senya knew that there were a lot of divisions among these legions.
Just as Bessie suspected, how could the army of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz, which had been fighting internally for more than ten years, not have the slightest division?
Therefore, what Ophelia saw was just what Orina wanted her to see.
Orina was gambling. She was betting that Ophelia didn't dare to take the risk. She was betting that Ophelia didn't dare to guess how much combat effectiveness the army of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz had.
