Chapter 262
"Is Frederick there?"

Richard Nall knocked on the wooden door of the cabin where Frederick lived.

At this time, Frederick was drinking medicine, and Mary replied, "He is here, and I will open the door."

Richard Nall smirked and said, "No rush, I'll come back after you get dressed."

Mary blushed slightly, and immediately opened the door.

Seeing that Frederick was still sitting on the bed, Richard Nall sat on the chair beside the bed and asked him, "How is it, can you walk now?"

Frederick killed a god of law that day. Even with the help of the "angel" given by Psyche to block Galini's domain, the last blow of "a certain magical electromagnetic gun" overdrawn all its power. He wanted to go back to the tent to pretend to be aggressive and avoid all kinds of gossip and rumors that he would perish together, and he fell down at that time.

There are rumors in the army that the commander was very excited after killing a Dharma god, so he took Princess Mary back to the house to celebrate. Everyone knows the way to celebrate.

In fact, Frederick asked Mary to help him back to the cabin, then fell into a coma for two nights, and now he has woken up for three days and is still very weak.

Just now little Franz came to report the damage caused by Galini, and believed that Mary was responsible for Frederick's weakness.

Frederick replied: "I still have no strength, I can only walk a few steps."

Richard Nall looked at his expression and said, "You are overdrawn, you can only rest."

"Hakan on the opposite side sent me a letter. He thought that Grandma Psyche was coming, so he told me that when the time came to perform a play, he would throw in the towel and run away."

"The Phocas army hasn't moved these days, it's still standing still, the gate of the barracks isn't open, someone saw Hakan still in the barracks."

Frederick frowned and thought for a while, then asked seriously: "Master, do you think this is a problem?"

Richard Nall thought for a while, and replied: "I'm not familiar with military operations, but I think they might judge me and Galini as both losers, and we can take advantage of it."

Frederick nodded slightly.

Richard Nall said to him: "You have a good rest, since you have delegated power, you must trust them."

After Richard Nall left, Mary returned with a pot of ragout, followed by little Franz.

When Mary was feeding Frederick, little Franz said: "Commander, Your Royal Highness, I speculate that the enemy's staying behind closed doors is fake, and they are actually paralyzing us. I judge that Phocas will pretend to stay still, In fact, with the advantage of being familiar with the geography, some elite troops have been dispatched to bypass the main road and attack us lightly."

"I would like to ask Her Royal Highness to do some reconnaissance at night. I am worried that the enemy will rest under the cover of the woods during the day and march at night because we have aerial reconnaissance."

Mary was spoon-feeding meat to Frederick, and Frederick nodded to her.

Mary immediately agreed, "No problem, I'll go after dark."

Little Franz left after thanking Mary, and Mary said to Frederick: "Your men are pretty good, and they are not dazzled by the victory."

Frederick just sighed slightly.

This time, the dozen or so big fireballs that Galini smashed into the barracks caused huge losses. People who encountered the flames basically had no hope of treatment. In the end, more than 300 people were killed, more than [-] people were seriously injured and disabled, and dozens of people were slightly injured. ten people.

He regretted it very much at this time. If he could have predicted that Galini would come so quickly and evacuated in advance, the loss would not have been so great.

Mary understood his thoughts, but didn't say anything. This is something every army commander must go through, and he can only come out by himself.

At the same time, in a valley south of Army Corps on the Southern Front, Phocas had just emerged from his oversized sleeping bag.

The trees in the valley are very dense, and there are shade plants growing under the trees. Many people woke up like Phocas.

The first thing they do when they wake up is to wear crowns made of green branches to avoid being spotted by winged unicorns or dragons in the sky.

Phocas' face was still gloomy, and the officer who came to report to work was very cautious.

Their 2 horsemen marched secretly in separate routes around long distances. All the teams had arrived at their predetermined positions last night, and they only needed to climb the mountain for half the night to appear on the main road about 20 kilometers south of Wesenluo.

After listening to the report, Phocas said: "Order all the troops not to move tonight, and rest for two days after walking so much on the Tianshan Road."

Then he said in a cold voice: "Tell them, from tonight to the night after tomorrow, it is forbidden to light fires across the mountain, and whoever makes a little fire, I will kill him with my own hands!"

The order was passed on quickly, and not only the other troops in the surrounding mountains, but also the closed barracks were ordered to postpone the operation for two days.

Although the sneak attack is about surprise, the army has been exhausted after walking in the mountains for a few days. If they don't rest, they will have no combat effectiveness.

Not long after, Arda of the Imperial Guard of the Gazi Empire came over and reported to Phokas: "Your Majesty, can our artillery be transported forward in advance, which can save a lot of time."

Phocas thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and refused.

He said to Arda: "We must be cautious now. The enemy's scouts may appear at any time. We cannot risk this."

"Whether your fans get wet or not, this battle is up to you."

Alda immediately replied: "Everything has been checked, even if it starts to rain heavily now, there will be no problem."

Less than 10 seconds after the voice fell, raindrops fell from the sky, and a few minutes later the downpour came.

Phokas huddled under the tarp, a small smile on his face.

It's fine if it rains. Although it will be troublesome to act on your own, the enemy's reconnaissance will also be affected. It's best to wait until you are under the enemy's nose before stopping the rain.

Alda huddled under the tarpaulin and heard Phocas say there: "Wesson has not suffered too much loss since he took power, and this is his fatal flaw."

"Gallini is dead. I believe he must have left Dragaces with serious injuries and caused heavy casualties to the army."

"A newborn calf who has never experienced a big loss, suddenly faced with such a loss will definitely panic, blame himself, and lose confidence."

"So I made Hakan write to Richard Nall, and stayed in the barracks, to lull them into carelessness."

"We pretended to stay behind closed doors again, which made Wesson feel that we were panicking."

……

Alda listened quietly from the side. At first, she felt that what Phocas said was very reasonable. Now she listens to it every day. Duke Wesson didn't know if he was in a panic. Anyway, he felt that he was actually a little panicked. This action is put all one's eggs in one basket.

At night, the rain subsided a little, and Arda looked up at the sky, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

A black shadow flew over 300 meters in the air. At this time, only the Wesson Army could fly in the air. Fortunately, everyone was sleeping at the moment, and there was no fire at all, so they were not found.

In the middle of the night, Mary returned to the cabin.

She took off her wet clothes and hung them on the wall, boiled a basin of hot water to wipe her body, and said to Frederick: "I just reported to the headquarters, and the places where we can march in the south are pitch black, and there is no fire. "

Frederick breathed a sigh of relief, pulled her into the bed after she finished wiping her body, and said softly: "It's raining for you to fly for nothing, thank you for your hard work."

Mary kissed him on the face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this kind of thing is very common, no news is news."
