Knight Matthew Lauren has been assigned the task of commanding battles in the past, but he has never encountered a person as willful as the Marquis. He only hopes that it will not be like this next time. After all, he was the combat commander, so he couldn't escape the responsibility if something went wrong, but he really couldn't control the Marquis of Stewart.

On the other side, three high-level professionals sent by the Marquis of Limousin were discussing in low voices.

"I heard that Marquis Stuart has been fighting wars since he inherited the title, and he has often directly participated in wars. Today it seems that the rumors are still too conservative."

"Who would have thought that a girl in her twenties would dare to lead a charge against the devil."

"She is accompanied by a master."

"It has nothing to do with this. It's not like you haven't seen a noble whose legs are so weak after seeing him kill a chicken."

"Maybe it has something to do with her being a dragon blood descendant. Warlocks are generally very impulsive."

"Maybe."

"Isn't she a mage? It's not an ordinary impulse to pick up a sword and go to the battlefield."

"Perhaps the master in the family wants to see if she has the talent of a warrior professional."

“It’s really enviable to have such a talented person.”

"Not only are you talented, but you also have money. With legendary swords and armor, even ordinary professionals can double their combat power when equipped with them."

Legendary-level weapons require a legendary-level blacksmith to make them even if you gather the materials. Not many people on the mainland can reach this level, and it is no longer just a matter of having money.

In any case, the battle is over today, and no casualties is the best result for everyone.

After returning to the camp, Elena reported: "Your Majesty the Marquis, the territory's magic letter."

Kristine took it: "Let me take a look."

She had been out for several months this time, so she brought a portable communication circle in order to keep abreast of the situation in the territory. This portability is only relatively speaking, the entire magic circle is more than one meter in diameter, with a magic metal plate as the base and powered by magic stones.

The disadvantage is that it costs 10,000 gold coins each, and the communication distance is also short. The message needs to be sent to Toulouse City first and then forwarded by the Mage Tower there. But in any case, it also solves the problem of real-time communication. You can definitely know anything within an hour.

The letter first reported that everything was safe and everything was normal in the territory.

Although Christine took away the high-end combat power, the knights in the territory of Demon Calamity have generally been promoted to two levels, and the soldiers have become veterans. Plus, they have experience in dealing with demons, so there is nothing to worry about.

Got a good new.

The combined fleets of the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Apennines, led by the hereditary honorary Earl Abraham Duquesne, successfully sank all the capital ships and most of the auxiliary ships of the Demon Fleet.

The losses on the human side were definitely much better than those on the demon side, but in my own opinion, they were also very heavy. However, the combat goal was achieved by destroying the demon fleet, which can be regarded as a glorious victory. For this reason, King Louis of the Kingdom of France gave rewards to three villages to highlight the military exploits of the hereditary honorary count of Duquesne.

Without the fleet, the places where the demons can attack are greatly reduced, and the main army that has been held back can be mobilized to the Kingdom of Iberia to participate in the war. Those besieged cities don't have to worry about the supply ships being robbed at sea, and holding on is no longer a problem.

Another good news.

The knights of the Church of the God of Order and the Goddess of Agriculture, who were the first to support the Kingdom of Iberia, had arrived and participated in the battle against the demons, but the effect was not very good.

The reason why the demons marched along the northern border of the Kingdom of Iberia instead of directly attacking other places inland was because they wanted to create a long no-man's land on the border between the two countries.

The Kingdom of Iberia is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the border with the Kingdom of France is also the only access to the mainland. After this became a no-man's land, the caravan would definitely not be able to pass. Not only would there be no place to supply supplies, but there would also be scattered demon attacks. In addition, the east coast has been occupied by demons, so all supplies and trade can only rely on the ports on the west coast.

The uninhabited land also poses a great obstacle to the human army. If the two knights wanted to attack the follow-up troops of the demon army or their flanks had to go nearly a hundred kilometers deep, the supply lines would be very long and they would be very vulnerable to attack.

The commander of the demon army left several rear-end troops of varying numbers in the no-man's land, specifically to harass the supply lines of the human army.

On the other hand, demons are used to the extremely harsh environment of the abyss. The little devil has no requirements for weapons, and very low requirements for food. It can be said that it can just eat whatever it catches, and almost no supplies are needed.

Fortunately, the arrival of the two knights makes it possible for the demon army to be stopped even if it goes south, and there will be no embarrassing incident like the northern siege of Margaret City, the capital of the Kingdom of Iberia.

The commander of the demon army allowed his demons to go north to attack the Kingdom of France and to the south to attack the counties of Leon and La Mancha in the Iberian Kingdom in order to expand the no-man's land.

Didn’t you see that the Kingdom of France evacuated all the people from a hundred kilometers away from the border to avoid the devil?

Of course, the human side can see the purpose of the demons, but the main army was previously restrained in the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Apennines. Now that the demon fleet has been eliminated, they will have the strength to launch a counterattack after they are transferred over.

Where there is good news, there is naturally bad news. The demon army has finally entered the Cantabria half-elf territory. According to the prior plan, the Viscount of Cantabria gave up the territory outside the city and stood firm in Astilero. Although the devil has launched a tentative attack, it is not a big problem to defend it.

Kristine took out the continent map from the "secret box", spread it on the table and read it.

Her map is very accurate, especially for the northwest areas of the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Iberia, because the villages, towns and cities she has visited will be marked on the map using the star positioning method, giving her an accurate reference. It would be easier to find it elsewhere.

If the demons wanted to create a no-man's land on the northern border of Iberia, then they would have achieved their goal after reaching the Basque Viscounty. Because they had already reached the seaside, there was no need to march towards the Cantabrian Half-Elf Territory.

Although the Demons have low logistics requirements, it does not mean that they are not needed at all. It is unreasonable for them to create a straight line of no man's land. If they continue to attack after achieving their goal, they will not only increase the risk of being attacked from behind. Nothing good comes of it.

Using half-elf blood sacrifices will not yield more gifts from the abyss than using human blood sacrifices.

Although the demons are chaotic, there are also knowledgeable strategies or tacticians among them. Although it sounds funny, it is actually the case. Therefore, the high-ranking demons who command the army will not be unaware of this, unless they have some conspiracy inside.
