Chapter 988: Abydos
the next day.
Celeste is sailing on the vast sea.
It has long deviated from the safe course.
In the afternoon, Sifa, who was on the deck, saw the 'Salmon Island' that Ebrio said.
Abrio next to him said: "Salmon Island can be regarded as a large island, with an area of tens of square kilometers."
"There is more than one spring in the mountains to the west. The previous warlords built canals to divert water down the mountain, so there is no need to worry about fresh water."
"The forest covering most of the peninsula relieved the need for various building materials, which was why it was favored by the warlords at that time."
"Although the private port and the city have been destroyed, the recruited soldiers have been sorting out and rebuilding every day for the past two months."
"A usable camp has been built."
Xifa asked: "How to solve the food problem?"
Ebrio said with a smile: "There are abundant fisheries near Salmon Island, and there are many wild animals in the mountain forest."
"Plus you don't have to worry about buying supplies with your military expenses."
"A part of the weapons has been prepared, and the rest will be delivered one after another."
"Thanks to the current war that affects the entire world, otherwise, it would be difficult to prepare a large number of weapons in time."
Xifa, who had served in the Third Fleet, deeply agreed with this point.
Celeste did not approach Salmon Island, and the ghostly ship stopped not far from the island.
Next, Xifa and others took a small boat to the island.
"We rebuilt a port in the hidden part of the island."
As Abrio said, he directed the zombie sailors to drive the boat to the west side of the island.
As they rounded the small half of the island, Sifa saw the port, and one ship after another.
On the sea, there are many small sailboats like this approaching the port.
Batch after batch of supplies and personnel were sent.
Everyone here seemed to know Ebrio, and when they saw him, they all waved to him.
In an instant they disembarked and boarded the port.
Take a carriage near the port to the barracks.
In the carriage, Ebrio spread his hands and asked, "Would you mind revealing your plan?"
"You want to intervene in the current war?"
Xifa smiled and said, "Yes and no."
"I do want to start a war."
"But what we want to attack is not any country in the Northern Continent."
Abrio asked curiously: "Then you want to attack the Southern Continent?"
"To be precise, it is attacking a city in the southern continent." Xifa said a place name: "Have you heard of 'Abydos'?"
Ebrio shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
But at this moment, Sharon was sitting on the side of the carriage and only looked out the window.
But he turned his head: "Abydos? Abydos in the southern continent? A city under the control of the 'Rose School of Thought'?"
Sifa smiled and nodded.
"That's right, it's that 'Abydos'."
"This was originally a city under the control of the ancient Balam Empire, but it was abandoned later, and it was occupied by the 'Rose School of Thought' at some point."
"Slowly, the 'Rose School of Thought' developed that city into their headquarters, and there are now nearly 100,000 people living there."
"It's already comparable to the capital of a country."
"My goal is to destroy that city and deal a heavy blow to the 'Rose School of Thought'."
This information was accidentally seen from the intelligence of 'Black Sail' when he was cooperating with the Loen military in the Southern Continent.
Although Loen knew about the existence of 'Abydos', it was hindered by the city's penetration into the Southern Continent and the fact that it was the headquarters of the 'Rose School of Thought'.
If you want to attack 'Abydos', you need to mobilize a large number of troops, and you have to cross many cities in the east and west of Balam.
In terms of the situation at the time, this was obviously not realistic.
But now, the flames of war have also spread to the Southern Continent.
If Xifa moves again, there won't be much resistance.
In the carriage, Ebrio breathed out slowly: "You actually want to attack the 'Rose School of thought'."
"It was a surprise."
Xifa smiled and said, "An accident? It's okay."
"I have dealt with the 'Rose School of Thought' several times, and I know that this organization is now mainly controlled by personnel from the 'Sect of Indulgence'."
"People in this faction are all indulging in their own desires, and they are all potential dangers."
"If these people die, it will be positive for the world."
"Of course, the reason why we want to launch this war is to attack the 'Rose School of Thought' is only one reason."
"Another reason"
At this time, the carriage stopped and the barracks arrived.
Xifa said: "Let's talk about it next time."
In the barracks, Xifa could see from a distance that there were patches of soldiers on the square paved with sand and stones, undergoing training.
Ebrio said: "When I was recruiting, I recruited some veterans who had retired from the army and their lives were not satisfactory."
"These soldiers come from various countries, and some of them are officers."
"They know how to train soldiers, but we still lack a commander."
Xifa said while visiting: "You will have it soon."
"Gather those officers together, I have something to say."
Ebrio nodded and called a soldier to take Sifer to an office.
He himself went to the square to summon the officers.
After a while.
Abrio led the officers into the office, and not only saw Sifa, but also a man of medium build and wearing a mask.
When the officers saw Sifa for the first time, they all felt dazed, and all looked at Ebrio.
Ebrio smiled and said, "Everyone, this one"
He looked at Sifa and cast a questioning look.
Xifa knew that he wanted to ask himself, what identity should he use to introduce to the officer.
Rayleigh?
This obviously won't work.
This is a well-known adventurer at sea.
Calling up the army suddenly will raise suspicion.
So Sifa looked at Katerina with a smile.
The 'White Maiden' understood, and said in a sweet voice: "This is Your Highness Don Quixote."
Abrio shrugged his shoulders, turned around and said, "That's right, this is Your Highness Don Quixote, he is the one who recruited you."
"His Royal Highness will launch a just battle in the near future with a great move."
"And you will be honored to participate and witness the whole process."
"You should be honored."
"If it wasn't for Your Highness, you might still be getting drunk in some bar now, or you might have broken your legs because of a few buns."
"How can you get enough food every day like now, and realize your value."
After finishing speaking, Abrio looked at Sifa and motioned him to say a few words.
Sifa stood up, looked around, and brushed across the faces of these dozens of officers.
Then I said.
"When you are ready, you will go to the battlefield."
"I need you to convey the following words to the ears of every soldier."
"When on the battlefield, every time you kill an enemy, or harvest a prisoner."
"Everyone will be rewarded with 1 gold coin or 1 gold pound!"
