Blue Sword

Soon, word spread among the remaining girls that Eleanor and the others had applied to go to the Iberian Peninsula to participate in the war.

"Why go to Iberia?" Sheila was the first to question, "There are no Iberians in our team, nor do we have assets or interests in Iberia. If the Iberian Peninsula falls, we will be in trouble. It is the Kingdom of West Francia and has nothing to do with us. Are there any West Franks here? No."

"We are just a small mercenary group, not a savior group, and I don't see what benefit Iberia has to us at all. If it is just to experience war and sharpen ourselves, go to Aquitaine, go to Saxony, or even You can go to Asia Minor. Why do you have to go and fight with the undead who are not afraid of death?"

Eleanor was silent for a moment.

In the past, she might have said plausibly, "Because the war of the undead leaves no one alive," but now she has long understood that the excuse of "rescuing people" cannot convince Sheila.

So she calmly said:

"The team has potential interests in Iberia... In the great forest of Lusitania, there are many half-elf tribes living, and their leader, the demigod, is named 'Maya'."

"Maya?" Silla was startled for a moment, then recalled. Mi'er's connections include three demigods named Derek, Shirley and Maya.

Everyone has seen the first two, but the latter has never been seen before. It turns out that he is in the Iberian Peninsula.

"In the half-elf tribe, there are also some extraordinary bloodlines of the elves, such as 'Sword Dancer', 'Eagle Eye Archer', 'Elemental Master' and so on." Medea added appropriately, "If you can master In hand, of course, it is also a considerable military strength."

This time Silla was speechless.

Since conquering the Hauteville family in Sicily, there has been no apparent change in the Blue Sword team (only nine people), but the actual military strength available has expanded several times.

Sheila would wake up laughing several times during the night: she dreamed that the team brought a large group of "Varangian Guards" composed of Norman extraordinary people to help her recapture the imperial capital Constantinople.

Of course, these extraordinary Norman armies alone are not enough. After all, the Seljuqs opposite are also a large empire spanning the Eastern Mediterranean, occupying Egypt, Syria, Persia and Asia Minor at the same time. Both the size of the extraordinary army and the number of demigods are quite exaggerated.

She needs more military power and a higher transcendent level in order to go further on the road to restoration.

"Hydrifa, what do you think?" Medea turned around and asked.

"I listen to Ask." Hidliba said bluntly.

"Ask listens to us," Medea said.

"Anyway, as long as there is a war, it will be fine." Hidrifa said nonchalantly.

"Where's Peggy?" Medea asked the next person.

"I also listen to Ask." Peggy shrugged, "If Ask asks you to discuss it, then just tell me the result."

"What do you think of Mia?" Nora asked with a smile.

"I want to see what the half-elf looks like." Mia said innocently, "Does it look similar to Mi'er?"

"Yes, they all have pink hair and green eyes." Mi'er answered directly.

"Then I think there is no objection." Eleanor turned to Mi'er and asked, "How do you think? Take a look at our plan..."

"Let Minerva take a look first." Mi'er activated the Fruit of Eden and summoned the Banshee King.

————————

The next day.

"This is the new plan." Eleanor placed a thick stack of documents in front of Aske.

Wow, it’s several times thicker than yesterday.

Asker complained silently in his mind, picked up the top document and read it.

This plan... Rather than calling it a plan, it would be more appropriate to call it the "Iberian Peninsula Strategic Analysis Report". It covers everything from the geopolitical environment, political environment, and climatic conditions of the Iberian Peninsula to the politics of the Hafsid Dynasty itself. The situation, faction demands, military composition, etc. are all analyzed in detail and comprehensively.

Knight Ji, if you don’t go to a consulting company to do PPT, you are simply undermining your talent!

However, although Asker was quite dissatisfied with the thickness of this information, after taking about half an hour to read it, he had to admit that this was indeed a quite feasible information.

There are even a lot of information details in it that even the Holy See may not know. After all, there is interference from the dark sky of the undead army, and even Raphael may not be able to get a lot of data.

With this information, the team went to the Iberian Peninsula to participate in the war, and the overall risk control was undoubtedly better guaranteed, but...

"There is a most fundamental question that was not mentioned in your plan." Asker put down the document and sighed, "Why do we have to travel all the way to the Iberian Peninsula to help the locals fight against the undead?"

"Because the war is there," Eleanor replied. "When we were in Bavaria, preparing to join the Emperor's southern expedition to Italy, do you remember? You talked to me about this alone."

"Why do we choose to join this war when we know it is very dangerous? Because the war is there. If you don't dare to look for it, it will come to you. In the next few years, the situation on the mainland will only become more and more chaotic. Conflicts between countries are intensifying. Only by seizing the time to adapt to war and continuously improving our own strength can we be qualified to dominate the situation as soon as possible."

"Escape will never solve the problem, Asik. You once taught me this, and now I use it to answer you."

Asker:? ? ?

"You..." he asked slowly and hesitantly, "Is this your own idea, or was it someone who taught you these principles? Don't you always hate war? Who did Mi'er pull out of the future? No, so you are Eleanor from the future?”

"No, I am the current Eleanor. These are my own thoughts, and no one has exerted any influence on me." Eleanor stared at him intently and said slowly, "Asker, I I don’t know if this idea is correct…”

"...But I have sworn to be your knight, so I must always sharpen myself and not slack off. I do hate war, but I am not afraid of it and will never run away from it. As long as you say war, then I will charge If you still decide not to go in the end, then I won’t say more on the matter."

She put the scattered plans together, tapped them neatly on the table, and then put them aside, waiting in silence for the leader's reply.

Asik met her gaze and saw that her blue pupils were as deep as the ocean, and contained a certain calm temperament.

That's some sheer willpower and determination.

So Asker understood that she had made her meaning clear, and that was enough; if in the end he still decided "We will not go to Iberia," Eleanor immediately stopped saying more and added this thick stack of Throw away all plans.

…

Suddenly, for no reason, he remembered the night when he escaped with Eleanor after assassinating the emperor half a year ago. He also jokingly asked her, "If a large number of innocent people and the team are in crisis at the same time, which side will you choose to save?"

Eleanor's answer at the time was "team first", but her expression was obviously sad and her tone was very difficult.

Now, the knight girl has finally matured and can work hard to practice the "morality and justice" she pursues without violating the "team priority". Even Asker can't find anything wrong with her approach. Come.

Only a sense of accomplishment remains.

Ask's eyes looked at her, full of pride and relief.

After all, I brought this girl out with my own hands!

Now that she is so sensible, then...

"Okay." Asik finally said, "Let's go to war."

"Yes." Eleanor nodded vigorously and stood up with the plan in hand.

She hesitated for a moment, then showed a grateful smile of relief and said softly:

"Thank you, Captain."

After saying that, the knight girl stepped forward and hugged him hard, then turned and left with a slightly red face.

Asker:?

Wait, did I just increase her favorability again?
