In a communications, Ed explained his new plans for the two fronts to Duma.
According to the initial setup, which was the setup Ed set when he first issued the Two-Front Battle mission, the war in Fitz Province on the southern front mainly involved teamwork and military operations, requiring a certain level of obedience, and each battle had a clear objective. In short, it required a certain level of discipline from the Soul Returner.
Ed's meaning was not only accepted by the players and Duma, but it even reached the eyes of the higher-ups in another world across the world barrier.
Those old foxes quickly understood what he meant by "friendly extraterrestrial civilization," and they all redeployed their national forces sent into the World of Disorder to the southern front to fight.
The eastern Klaf City, on the other hand, focuses on combat squads and exploration, demanding higher individual player skills, but is less strict in terms of discipline.
But as time went on, Ed discovered a problem—
Klaf City is much bigger than I imagined!
Although he was somewhat prepared, Ed admitted that he still underestimated the size of the city.
He simply couldn't imagine that in a world with a civilization similar to the Middle Ages, there could be a city with such a vast area.
However, upon closer reflection, the mighty river that flows through Klaf City before the Demonic Tide provides convenient transportation, coupled with the extraordinary systems of magic or Psionic Energy Formula, it seems not impossible that such a large city could be nurtured.
The vast Klaf City made finding Adelaide a difficult task. The reason why the location of Grand Duke Antos's seal was easier to find was because everyone encountered the easy-going quest NPC, Silvis, along the way.
However, without the guidance of NPCs, players have found it much harder to locate Adelaide.
They did indeed use Blood Corpse to dig through the soil leading to the Kraf dungeon, but once the Blood Corpse entered the dungeon, the manipulated signals were extremely easy to interfere with by nearby earls, marquises, or even dukes who were recovering.
This led to the people in Klaf City truly turning the dungeon into a roguelike adventure game.
The players were having a blast, but Ed wasn't so happy.
With the continuous addition of information, he had roughly figured out the identities of the Twin Kings.
Based on the characteristics of dragons and vampires, the Eternal Domain must also be searching for the Grand Duke Adelaide's whereabouts at this moment.
Therefore, this quest to find Adelaide is actually time-limited.
The first time Antos was lost could be explained by inexperience and lack of plot development, but if Adelaide is also handed over to others the second time, Ed really doesn't know how the main storyline of this World of Disorder will continue.
Moreover, it's not just Adelaide; according to the intelligence provided by Gray, Ed also needs to send elite forces to the vicinity of the Graycast Corridor to investigate the Grand Duke who may be sealed there.
One thing after another, Ed felt that the Eastern Front needed more manpower.
After much thought, he devised a new player recommendation system: a skill-based tiered system.
Although it's hard to admit, compared to the Grand Duke and his millions of Corpse Tide who could rise from their coffins at any moment, most of the provinces of the Tree Worship Church are as delicate and harmless as a small cake in their eyes.
Therefore, Ed's new recommendation is quite simple:
If your level is below 12, it is recommended that you go south and participate in the liberation campaign of Fitz Province.
Players level 12 or higher are advised to head east to Klaf City or the unknown Grand Duke's Sealed Land to confront the Blood Corpse head-on.
This method of description sounds simple, and in the players' game systems, it's just a matter of editing some text.
But Ed had to inform Duma about this change, which could affect the troops' combat effectiveness.
However, to his surprise, the demon didn't seem to have any resistance to it.
"Yes Son of God Highness, I believe I have grasped most of the meaning in your words."
Ed, who was in Valhalla, twitched at the corner of his mouth:
"Most of it? Is there something you don't quite understand? Tell me, and I can explain it to you."
"No, Son of God."
Duma's gentle, deep voice came through:
"I believe that with my level of understanding, I may never fully comprehend your 'profound meaning' even if I spend my entire life trying, so you don't need to explain any further. I will think more carefully about how to conduct the battle here after the change of Soul Returner."
"With the battle for Black Pine City imminent, I will make good use of the remaining time to recapture it, and then lead the slightly weaker Holy Crusaders to continue westward and southward."
Goodness, they're even using profound meanings in concise language?
So you're writing a manuscript that "records the interactions between the Son of God and his subordinates"...
Ed no longer had any doubts about the demon's statement, although he didn't like this style of speaking, but since everyone else was willing to say it...
I don't care.
So after the two frontline commanders Duma and Duolin, agreed to Ed's change, several lines of text representing level recommendations quickly appeared on the players' game system panels.
Some players noticed the text change and quickly began discussing it in chat groups and forums.
However, the transformation of personnel structure takes time. Now that the changes have been made, all Ed can do is wait.
Valhalla, the ancient castle.
The young man sat in the chair in the study, slowly unfolding the documents in front of him that required his review.
A blue, dog-head-sized dragon soul sat on the side of his head, looking at the words on the paper with equal interest.
What does this word mean?
" Son of God."
"This?"
"Black pine tree."
"This?"
"Magnificent city walls."
"This?"
"Successfully accomplished something..."
Ed nodded in satisfaction. The Little Blue dragon Noya was indeed a dragon born with a vast knowledge base. Although she had never been exposed to any knowledge related to the royal language before, she quickly mastered the standard royal language under Ed's guidance in just a few days.
Dragons possess an intelligence that defies logic; their memory and thinking abilities far surpass those of ordinary intelligent beings.
However, no matter how powerful the dragons are, at this moment they can only float beside him in spirit form, accepting his test.
This seems to be the second time. Ed always felt a sense of déjà vu when teaching Noya, and only after thinking about it carefully did he realize that it was a memory of discussing economics with Seraphina.
Seeing that Blue Dragon had successfully completed his apprenticeship, Ed nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Now that you have learned this language, I have a new task for you—don't forget that you signed a contract with me and will need to work for me sooner or later."
"As for the preceding days, we generally refer to them as onboarding training."
Noya's dragon soul nodded and asked:
"I'm ready. Is there anything I can do for you?"
