after waking up.

Chapter 189 The Real Purpose
There is a big river named Asakawa in Kinsby, which meanders in the territory of Kinsby. It is regarded as the mother river of Kinsby. Across the country, it also compressed the advance route of the Dierga Advance Army.

The water of the Qianchuan River was not too fast. A dozen small boats were pushed into the water from a deserted area. Some Dierga soldiers and a dozen students from Black Castle carefully boarded the boats.

A boat with about a dozen people, a dozen boats went back and forth twice, and quietly sent a team of about 500 people to the other side. The commander was a lieutenant with a face full of flesh. Under his leadership, a group of people quickly hid the boat. , and then into the woodland.

In the forest, all the soldiers gathered together on their knees. The lieutenant took out a direction chart and a map, pointed out his own position, and also pointed out a bridge over a river.

Half an hour later, at the Jushiqiao outpost on the Asakawa River, corpses were dragged away one after another. Many corpses had no bullet holes at all, but were pierced by sharp knives in the heart and head.

By the time the corpses were piled up in the outpost, almost all of their Kinspea army uniforms had been taken off.

Handel and other Castle Black students were scattered nearby. They wiped the blood from the dagger while watching the Dirga soldiers change into the enemy's uniform.

Two Warrant Officers of Kingspeare and a second lieutenant knelt beside the corpse tremblingly, each holding a bayonet-mounted gun to the back of their heads.

"Hey, don't worry, we are just completing the task of the army commander. As long as the bridge can be unblocked, I promise you can survive, are you a nobleman?"

"It's a first baronet."

The lieutenant looked at the two warrant officers again, and they also nodded.

"Well, so you can go to the empire to be imprisoned for a while at most. If you become a prisoner, you can still redeem your freedom. Thank you for the nobility agreement. Of course, if you want to be heroes and make trouble at critical moments, the nobility agreement will not save you. Do you understand?"

The three nodded quickly.

Whether it is calculated or the information obtained from the captives' mouths, it shows that once the front is unable to resist, Kingspeare will blow up the bridge to delay the pace of Dirga's army. The soldiers and ammunition are okay, and the steam tank has no bridge But it is not easy to cross the river.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of gunfire came from a distance, and Handel and others standing on the top of the outpost could even faintly see the shock wave of the explosion in the distance.

Before long, horse-drawn carts, ox carts, carts, and walking.
The Kingspeare army, some fanatical believers of the God of Life, and many people of Kingspea fled across the bridge to the rear with a panicked look. Of course, the people who fled together were basically believers of the God of Life.

The expected interrogation and some communication did not occur. The Dierga soldiers near the outpost looked at these people who were only concerned about fleeing. Their defenses had been completely defeated, and they did not dare to stop at all.

"Bah, a bunch of trash!"

The lieutenant standing next to Handel grinned and spat to the side, then looked at Handel and several Castle Black students who were also wearing Kingspeare uniforms.

"I just heard that you are powerful, but today I saw it. It is said that some of you can use magic. Is it true?"

Handel thought for a moment and nodded.

"Oh, do you know how? How many people will come here at the outpost?"

Handel smiled, finally being able to show some sense of superiority in front of the veterans in this respect.

"I will, everyone who comes today will."

The Lieutenant's eyes widened.

"Are they all magicians?"

"That's it."

Handel couldn't explain the diversity of transcendental paths in a short period of time, so let them think they were all magicians, after all, it made sense to some extent.

An officer with a half broken arm and a bloody bandage wrapped around his arm suddenly approached the outpost, and the lieutenant, Handel and the others tensed up immediately.

The Kinsby officer was pale, and there were no guards around him.

"You run too, they will attack here soon, Dierga's army is not something we can contend with, those people in the Kingdom's military department are letting us die!"

The lieutenant immediately showed a serious expression.

"I know those guys are terrible. Those who underestimate Dirga's army will end badly, but someone must stay, stay and resist them. If it doesn't work, I will blow up the bridge."

When the officer with a broken arm heard these words, he immediately respected the soldiers in front of him. He looked at the soldiers guarding the bridge around him, and almost none of them showed any expression of fear. The senior officer looked very disturbed.

"You are admirable soldiers!"

The officer saluted the lieutenant and the others with his other hand, then turned and left. It would be an insult to this group of soldiers to persuade them any further.

Whether these people are killed in battle or captured, they will not end well. On the contrary, the senior officers upstairs are likely to be nobles.

'This country is so sad.'

The officer lowered his head and looked at his arm. He couldn't help feeling sad. He could only pray for the blessing of the God of Life so that his arm could recover.

"Phew, it's really foolish."

The lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief, took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. The fugitives from Kinspea had all left.

Half an hour later, Dirga's troops arrived, and all the people in the outpost had changed back to Dirga's uniforms. Mulan stood on the top of the steam tank and looked at the river and the bridge.

"It's a pity. If you give up the forward deployment, it will be more troublesome to directly choose to confront us for the first time along this big river. It can only be said that there are many fools in the war who can influence the final decision."

"Hurry up, hurry up, move quickly, and follow behind!"

The soldiers crossed the bridge together, steam trailers carrying ammunition kept driving past the soldiers, while the steam tanks ahead had already crossed the river.

When Mu Lan came to the outpost, the lieutenant immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Legion Commander!"

Mulan smiled and patted the lieutenant on the shoulder.

"Well done Horus."

"It is my honor to be able to serve under the legion commander again, thank you for everything you have done!"

Mulan nodded. The old brother was very easy to call. Some military talents who had excellent military skills could only be low-level officers due to their non-noble status, he directly broke the rules and promoted him. Who dares to have an opinion.

Inside the outpost, everything has been simply cleaned up, and items such as maps and marker models have been moved in. This place will be used as a temporary staff for a short time, and a simple discussion will start in a few minutes.

"Kingspeare's resolve to resist was unexpected, and the speed at which that resolve collapsed was equally unexpected."

"I don't know what they're messing around with.

"Let's not talk about that, but crossing the Asakawa River is of great significance to us. As long as we guard the bridge, our supply line will not be a big problem."

The combat staff and senior officers are all excited about the current progress and eager to expand the results of the battle.

"We should march quickly and press directly to the provincial capital of Luolingte."

"Legion commander, what do you think?"

Mulan looked at the map and then out the window.

"Loringt is the northern city of Kingspea after all, and the nearby garrison will definitely gather there, but time is too tight now, and they don't have time to gather too many people."

Mu Lan showed a cold smile.

"The people of Kingspea thought we were here to invade and rob treasures, but they were wrong. I hope they can concentrate their troops as much as possible and gather the cultists there as much as possible, which will save us a lot of time."

Obtaining the sacred object is naturally very important, and eliminating the cult is also necessary, but for Dirga and Queen Nesheril, there may be another unspoken, but probably more important The purpose is to prove the strength of force and the strength of Dierga.

"Camp tonight at the front of the river, and we'll give the Kingspeans some time to prepare."

"But Legion Commander, we only have one legion!"

The combat staff and officers looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally someone spoke up.

Mu Lan glanced at all the officers with extremely confident and somewhat provocative eyes. Faced with this look, the officers looked directly at Mu Lan, and several student representatives present subconsciously avoided.

"As soldiers, it's fine for you to follow orders. Even if you fail, you are all nobles, aren't you?"

Many senior officers frowned and even showed displeasure, and they were also angry when Mulan said this.

"Legion commander, nobles are not all greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"At least I'm not."

"Please give the order, we will absolutely obey!"

"Please order!"

Mulan smiled, and gently pulled out a section of his saber, revealing the cold light.

"Think about the age of swords and spears, the age of blood and fire!"

"The reason why we can become nobles is because we have brave martyrs who used iron and blood to open up our own path to glory, the Marquess of Colemante Jihad, the Knight of Lion Ridge, Sir Corpsefire, and Baron Bradell."

Mu Lan selectively reported the names of the nobles in the history of Dierga, many of whom were the ancestors of the officers present.

"These are all heroes in the history of Dirga. As a descendant, I am very glad that the flame in your blood has not been extinguished."

"In the last war, the world thought that the pride of the Dirga nobles had been completely wiped out. Then in this war, we will let them know how ridiculous this view is. We want the world to realize the horror of this legion!"

Mu Lan's previous decision was undoubtedly not correct in a conventional war where soldiers were extremely expensive, but his words at the moment combined with a little bit of emotional resonance made the officers' blood boil.

"The order is passed on, the legion is deployed, and now we are starting to build the fortifications of the camp."

"Order the logistics, distribute chamaejasbane neutralizing potions on a class basis, and notify the priests in the church to start preparations."

"Everyone, go get ready."

"Yes!"

The officers responded in unison and left quickly, and the orderly also got on his horse and began to run outside.
