Chapter 145 Approaching
In the Riga Empire, ten miles away from Huaishuiguan, a group of nine people slowly walked up a hillside and looked there from a distance.

Some of these nine people were wearing armor, some were wearing legal robes, and some looked like ordinary people at all.

They were all dusty and dusty, and their faces were quite tired.There are still traces of battle on the bodies of several tall combat professionals.There still seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air around him.

The leader, an old man in his fifties with a dignified appearance, looked ahead and said slowly, "Isn't that the Huaishui Pass over there?"

"Yes, my lord."

The old man's tone was flat, showing no signs of happiness or anger: "That is to say, have we finally arrived at the Glorious Empire?"

"Yes, my lord." The man bowed and replied, "Now the Brilliant Empire is fighting the Riga Empire in front of the Huaishui Pass, and the guard is the Grand Duke Matthias of the Province of Edinburgh. We must first talk to him Do you want to touch it?"

"No, let's go around, let's go directly to their king. We have been delayed for too long along the way, so there is no need to waste time here."

The old man's tone was still flat, but anyone who knew him well could hear the suppressed anger in his words.

"Hmph, five months, five full months! With the speed of nine of us, five months is enough time to travel back and forth between the east and west ends of Oscontinent. The flies of the Riga Empire wait for me, and wait for the completion of the master's handover." Our task, I will slowly settle the account with you."

The other eight stood quietly behind him, silent.

In the dull, windless air, the voice of the old man floated.

"let's go!"

A group of nine people left the flat and spacious avenue and headed towards the dense jungle instead.

They planned to bypass the Huaishui Pass obliquely and enter the Glorious Empire from the steep mountains.

For senior professionals like them, whether the road is smooth, whether the terrain is rough, etc., cannot be a reason to stop them from moving forward.

At most, it takes a little effort.

After a while, two other groups of people appeared on the hillside where the original nine people stayed and looked out.

From their figures, clothing, and weapons in their hands, it can be seen very clearly that one team is all fighters, and the other team is all magicians.

The two stood side by side at the forefront, looking at the direction in which the nine people had gone.

Of course, the figure is completely gone now.

"You're just watching, and you don't intend to do anything to stop them?" The fighter leader turned his head and asked the magician beside him.

The magician shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "How to stop it?"

The fighter raised his eyebrows: "What did you do before, can't you continue to do it now?"

The magician shook his head: "It was in the territory of the Riga Empire before, and the Holy Empire was fighting with them. I just need to casually report to the high-level Riga Empire that they are spies, and naturally someone will bring a large army to hunt and encircle them. But Now that we are approaching the Glorious Empire, where Dino, one of the six famous generals, is leading troops to attack Huaishui Pass, how can he care about this little 'spies' who have less than ten people."

He also turned his head and looked at the fighters beside him: "Being able to hold them back for such a long time has exceeded my expectations. It's very good. If we come down again, unless we tear our face and attack them directly. Otherwise , I'm afraid I can't do anything."

The fighter seemed taken aback and waved his hands again and again.

"That can't be done! Although I'm not afraid of them, I've always disliked these talkative guys. But if I make a direct move, it's tantamount to declaring war on the Holy See. I can't afford such a responsibility."

He cast a glance at the magician, and added:
"We can't afford it."

"So, that's the only way to go." The magician spread his hands again.

The fighter suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, those guys from the Holy See of Light did not hesitate to cross the entire Riga Empire and ran all the way to the remote Glorious Empire. What is the reason for this? Our boss only ordered me to come here Assisting you, it seems that he is not very clear about the cause of the matter."

The magician's eyeballs were rolling, his eyes flickering.

"This, how do I know. I am just like you, just following orders. By the way, although we can't take action directly, and it is impossible for the army of the Glorious Empire to round up the people of the Holy See. But follow them, serve It’s still okay for the machine to secretly sabotage and make trouble.”

The magician suddenly slapped his head, with a dazed look, and changed the subject without a trace.

"Okay, let's go quickly, don't get lost!"

The fighter didn't notice any abnormalities at all, his eyes were shining brightly, and his face was excited.Without waiting for his partner to answer, he took the lead and quickly chased forward.

The fighters behind him also set off in unison, following closely behind.

The magician looked at their backs with an inexplicable smile on his face.Then he raised his hand and greeted back, and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go too!"

……

The warm wind of early summer blew past, driving the huge flags of the Brilliant Empire and the Aberdeen Province to flutter and flutter, making a sound of hunting.

With the two flags as the center, countless tents spread out in all directions.No matter which direction you look from, there is no end in sight.

Further outside, there are rows of repelling horses, roadblocks, and tall sentry posts built at intervals.

A large number of soldiers, either in groups of three or in groups of ten, shuttled and patrolled the entire camp, vigilantly checking for any possible anomalies.

Behind the rocks outside the camp, in the grass, on the big trees, in those corners that cannot be reached by sight, there are also a lot of secret sentries.If there are spies sent by the enemy, they plan to come over to find out the details of the Aberdeen camp.I'm afraid they will be extinguished by these hidden murderous intentions before they see the outermost fence.

The layout and arrangement of the entire camp can be described as well-organized and organized.It can be seen that the commander-in-chief of the army has a solid foundation and rich experience.

General John, who was sitting firmly in the tent of the Chinese army, was full of anxiety and deep fear at the moment.

After brief encounters with the rebel leaders at both ends of the Yokohara Grand Canyon, General John was forced to lead his troops back.On the way, he summoned several core figures at the top of the army to discuss the next marching strategy.

Of course, those from the princess' side were not included this time.

At the meeting, someone suggested not to be led by the nose by the enemy, but to completely fall into the opponent's rhythm.It is better to continue to follow the previous idea and directly enter the rebel lair to force the enemy to come back.

General John took a deep look at the man and remained silent.

The other people who originally wanted to express their opinions also fell silent immediately.

Isn't this exactly what the princess and the others originally proposed?General John made a series of arrangements in order to "reasonably" veto this plan, which of the generals in Aberdeen did not understand.

Now, as soon as the rebels make a move, they will immediately change course and switch back to the original plan. Wouldn't it be necessary for General John to admit that he made a mistake in his decision-making?Where is the majesty of the army commander?What is the face of the Aberdeen family?

But looking at it from another perspective, if the army is diverted and still returns to aid Aberdeen, as Franky said there, you can go whichever way you want, which is also a very shameful thing .

Just like the last military meeting, this is another multiple-choice question that makes people feel in a dilemma.

This brief, small-scale high-level core meeting came to an end hastily in a dull and depressing atmosphere.

Afterwards, the army set out again, diverted to the east, then turned to the north, and continued to return to aid Aberdeen.

"The stone beams in the Hengyuan Great Rift Valley were destroyed, and the most suitable and fastest road was broken. Of course, this road will not work. We have to go back to rescue the crisis facing Aberdeen, and it is also reasonable to find another road."

"The so-called famous general of Riga played tricks and made a simple thing seem so mysterious, so as to show his mastery. This general will not fall for his aggressive tactics, nor will he be fooled by others because he is afraid of being laughed at. Afraid of losing face and changing the marching plan that has already been made."

"The six famous generals of Riga, shit! They're just clowns who can play tricks. If you have any skills, just use them. This general will follow. What about you? Aberdeen's powerful fighters, you will be afraid of those in Taranto A softie who only stabs a knife in the back?"

"Tell me, will you?!"

The answer to the commander of the army was a roar like a sea wave:

"will not!"

General John was very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers, and he was quite proud of his well-prepared speech.

Although he didn't show it on the face, the general knew in his heart that he was indeed a little scared at that time.Just like a small rich man in the countryside, no matter how much he usually flaunts his wealth, when facing the big aristocratic consortium from the imperial capital, he will inevitably have uneasiness in his heart, and a trace of lack of self-confidence that cannot be erased no matter how much he denies it.

On the way back from the original road, when the mood slowly calmed down and he thought about the scene at that time, General John suddenly found that he was intimidated by the opponent's name.

To put it bluntly, that's exactly what happened.

After dispelling the smog in my heart, the next thing to solve is the morale of the army that has fallen to the bottom.

The importance of army morale is a part that no qualified general will take lightly.Through speeches and a series of encouraging arrangements, the spirits of the soldiers have obviously improved.

Of course, this is not enough.

At that time, I was not able to give a powerful counterattack in the face-to-face confrontation with the enemy, which was my biggest mistake.After returning back, no matter how confident and angry he said in private, it was difficult to eliminate the frustration in the hearts of the soldiers.

But it doesn't matter, as long as one or two victories are won, everything will be smoothed out.Morale and confidence are like tired birds that go out for food early in the morning and will eventually come back.

Didn't Frank say that they were waiting for us ahead, so here we are.

With Taranto's weak military strength, General John did not believe that they could stop his well-trained army.

The idea is very beautiful, but in many cases, the gap between the ideal and the reality can be so great that it makes people desperate.

Aside from the previous eight-match winning streak, which was seriously over the standard, this is the first positive dialogue between the Aberdeen Expeditionary Force and the Taranto rebels.And the location is exactly the first checkpoint mentioned by Franky.

General John was well aware of the significance of this battle, and put all his best troops into the battlefield.

Unfortunately, the result was not what he wanted.
