Chapter 1889: Chapter 571 Black Death_3

Leonard Churchill looked at Camilla in front of him and asked, "Is there any news from Little Garcia who went to the Underworld?"

Camilla replied concisely, "Hmm. It should be soon."

A single "Hmm" indicated that everything was normal.

No need for further words between the two.

Tracy Garcia has been in the Underworld for many days, and she, as the High Priestess, shoulders many heavy responsibilities.

Some things, even Leonard Churchill and Camilla, her closest ones, could not be told.

This time, her trip to the Underworld is probably related to the fall of the Last Great Priest of Taren, Will Smith.

It may involve the "Plane Inspector" mentioned by Lanlingster.

If there’s someone from the Orlan Royal Court that the Outer Gods fear the most, it’s definitely not Griffith, the Ninth Tier, but the High Priestess Tracy Garcia.

Leonard Churchill did not talk much on this topic, looking at Camilla in front of him, he also asked, "Camilla, have you made a breakthrough?"

Camilla nodded, simply replying, "Yes."

Leonard Churchill smiled, "No wonder..."

No wonder Griffith wanted them to communicate more.

Actually, Camilla has changed even more. Since that assassination, the Royal Destiny on her has visibly increased day by day.

The stronger the subjects, the stronger the king’s fortune, this is Kingship.

More and more former ministers of Orlan are defecting, Camilla now already possesses the aura of an emperor.

In Leonard Churchill’s past life words, this is "Emperor’s Purple Qi," visible dominance.

At the same time, her power and Law have both skyrocketed.

This often made Leonard Churchill feel inexplicable.

Related to [Kingship], the Q, K Sequence is so special, sometimes one can strengthen without doing anything.

...

Although everyone eats at the cafeteria, Camilla, the King of Augustus, has logistical personnel helping to serve the food.

The table was piled high with delicious food.

Soon, Ivan’s belly became round and full.

In front were the pioneers and practitioners of "Extraordinary Compatibility Balance," Leonard Churchill and Camilla chatted, and they discussed some cultivation matters with Griffith.

However, as they chatted, the sound of cannons suddenly stopped.

Leonard Churchill furrowed his brow.

Camilla and Griffith also had serious expressions.

Their perception was much stronger than others.

Seven Brown was puzzled, seeing the change in their expressions, asked, "What’s wrong?"

Leonard Churchill said, "Orlan has stopped attacking."

Seven Brown, being a combat personnel, certainly didn’t have the grasp of the whole situation like Leonard Churchill and the others. She still didn’t quite understand why they were so serious.

Leonard Churchill didn’t wait for her to ask more, directly said, "Unlikely by accident, the Orlan Royal Court must have realized after probing that a strong attack wouldn’t work. They are going to use a strategy now. To stop the shelling, they must have... used some vanguard (cannon fodder) that can’t be shelled."

This isn’t hard to guess, any human civilization’s history is essentially a history of war.

Any strategy one can think of has surely been done in history.

Upon hearing the stopping of the cannons, Leonard Churchill already guessed it seven or eight ways.

"Oh."

Seven Brown heard and roughly understood.

Sure enough, shortly after, a messenger hurriedly came, reporting something to a nearby court lady.

The court lady’s expression changed, quickly walking over to Camilla and reporting, "Your Majesty, the sentry reported that Orlan has used a large number of commoners as the vanguard, among them... many are relatives of the ministers."

"Hmm. Got it."

Camilla heard this, and although her expression remained unchanged, a touch of solemnity flickered in her crystalline eyes.

She got up and said to Leonard Churchill, "I’ll go and see."

Leonard Churchill also wanted to see what kind of trouble Orlan had caused, saying, "I’ll go with you."

....

They quickly arrived at the nearest artillery command room.

Just now the weather, which was shrouded in heavy fog, suddenly cleared up, becoming exceptionally bright and clear.

Moonlight shone across the plain opposite the gorge, illuminating the entire valley, at the end of the field of view, besides large and small craters there were only the corpses lying strewn across.

In front of the cannon positions at the Jilan Defense Line, the first probe by the Orlan Royal Court failed without suspense.

Now it was the second wave.

A new batch of vanguard slowly moved towards the gorge.

A dense crowd, roughly tens of thousands.

Through the telescope’s lens, Leonard Churchill could clearly see the expressions of those people.

Among those tens of thousands, some were professional soldiers from Orlan’s side, but more had expressions of despair, emotionally downcast, clearly commoners who had been coerced.

It was these commoners that rendered Camilla and those around her silent.

Because before them were their relatives.

Representing the Puppeteer God Family was Lenny, the Forbidden Curse Master Family was Ray, and various former ministers of Orlan who had recently defected...

They more or less saw their relatives or clansmen within the crowd.

Regardless of Orlan’s 200-year exile, several generations of Orlan Kings had done massive preparation for restoration.

Old ministers of Orlan rooted and proliferated in the major cities of the Federation.

Much like the Golden Oak Corporation of Sinless City, which was secretly supported by the Orlan Royal Court.

So saying, there are actually many relatives of the old ministers of Orlan.

Now with this situation, everyone understood, that King Arthur wanted to use these relatives of the Orlan subjects as cannon fodder, making the Alliance hesitate.

And looking back now, the reason those people who defected to Camilla earlier were so easily found, might not have been an accident.

Then a batch was kept back, just waiting to make threats now.

Below the defense line, watching the human wall slowly approach, everyone was silent.

Everyone knows this is Orlan’s siege tactics.
