Chapter 157 Reaction
The bright red sun struggled to break free from the shackles of the earth, and gently jumped into the air.The warm sunlight then sprinkled all over the earth, bringing infinite light and heat to the world.

The breeze blows slowly, causing the leaves to rustle.A few birdsong were mixed in, crisp and sweet.

Another great morning.

"kill!"

Suddenly, a discordant sound sounded.

Just like the flood rushing out of the gap in the dam, once it started, waves of shouts and killings kept coming to mind, completely shattering and dispelling the tranquility and harmony of the morning.

"Bah! It's these bastards again! If you don't have any other skills, you will howl and bark all day long, almost scaring your grandpa and me."

A black and thin young soldier standing guard on the top of the city was suddenly startled by the sudden shouts of killing.He glanced out of the city nervously, and then relaxed, muttering a curse in his mouth.

A slightly fatter soldier who was on guard with him next to him scolded with a low laugh: "I know that those Li family members will practice at this time every day, and they will still be frightened, which proves that you deserted when you were on guard just now. This matter If you let the officer know, you will suffer."

The black and thin young man shrank his head unconsciously, and complained in his mouth: "Brother, you said that these Riga dogs don't attack anymore, and just practice there every day on their own. What do you mean? Are you afraid of us?"

"How is that possible?" The slightly fat soldier obviously had more senior military experience.He shook his head and flatly denied it.

"Those Riga people are ferocious, like wolves and beasts. They often harass neighboring countries and provoke wars. There is no country adjacent to their land that has not fought with them. For their soldiers, Fighting is as common as drinking water and eating. The previous few battles may have been considered fierce. But with this kind of formation alone, it is far from possible to scare them. Now that they are putting on such a posture, there is no idea what kind of conspiracy is hidden in it Tricks. We must cheer up and pay close attention to their every move, and we must not ignore them."

The black and thin young soldier curled his lips, and replied in a rambling voice: "Don't worry, don't worry. You can scold me, I can understand the seriousness of the matter, and I will never miss it."

The chubby soldier nodded, and was about to give some words of encouragement to his younger generation when an officer suddenly turned around.

"What's the matter with you two! You whispered to each other while standing guard, do you want to have a taste of military law?"

The two quickly clenched the spears in their hands, stood up straight, and assumed the most standard posture.

The chubby soldier didn't move his head, but he shot his eyes hard at his companion, cursing inwardly: Brat, I almost got you in trouble!
Inside the Huaishui Pass, Grand Duke Mattesias sat on a large chair.His adjutant stood aside respectfully, reporting to him.

"...The people of Riga haven't launched an attack for a while, they just drill soldiers not far from the pass every day, or shout and provoke. According to the instructions of the Grand Duke, we didn't pay much attention to this. We only asked the soldiers to be vigilant and pay close attention Report every move of the other party and report any abnormalities immediately.”

"Well done." Grand Duke Mattesias moved back and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair.

"In terms of strength, there is indeed a big gap between us and the opponent. Relying on the city wall to hold on, we can't take advantage of it. If you go out to fight in the city, even if you succeed in the sneak attack at the beginning, I am afraid that there will be nothing good to eat in the end. Besides, although the old man did not follow the That Dino has fought against each other, but the other party's reputation is not in vain. It is too risky to attack rashly. Let him go. We just need to hold on to the purpose and keep the same. Huaishuiguan, don’t let people from Riga come in. No matter how many schemes he has, this old man will not be able to do anything.”

The Grand Duke has been in the army for dozens of years, and almost all of them were put on the Huaishui Pass. In the confrontation with the Li family, he has extremely rich experience.There is almost no need to think about it in your mind, and you can immediately find the most suitable countermeasure.

The adjutant naturally had no objection, and continued to report: "According to the reports of the officers, I don't know if they were influenced by the Riga people. The soldiers below have a strong desire to fight, and they have signs of despising the enemy. Many people clamored to take the initiative. Get out of town and drive the enemy away."

When the Grand Duke heard the words, his eyes were fixed.But then he relaxed again.

"Perhaps, this is also one of Nadino's goals. Even if it can't lure and provoke us to go out for a decisive battle, it's good to affect and disturb the emotions of the soldiers."

"That……"

"Don't worry, just let those boys handle it by themselves."

Grand Duke Mattesias narrowed his eyes slightly, looking a little drowsy.

Although the Riga people calmed down and did not continue to attack, the Grand Duke did not dare to relax his vigilance in the slightest.Every day, I racked my brains to ensure that the defense was flawless and did not leave any chance for the enemy.

As for the morale and mood of the army, the Grand Duke is not worried at all.

Whether it is the upper-level generals or the middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers under his command, most of them are old men who have experienced many battles and have dealt with Riga people countless times.This little trick also wants to disturb their thoughts?Go dreaming!
The Grand Duke firmly believes that these old people can not only control themselves well, but also help the newcomers stabilize their emotions and not be affected by the enemy.

"...The news came from Taranto that the first battle between the Aberdeen army and the Taranto rebels ended with a big victory for Aberdeen..."

"Oh?"

The Grand Duke Mattesias, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and his previously indifferent eyes instantly became bright.

"Tell me in detail."

"Yes!" The adjutant bowed to accept the order...

After hearing the detailed information, the Grand Duke patted the table, stood up, and exclaimed, "Okay, that's great!"

Although the Grand Duke has reservations about General John, there is still a slight doubt that he can defeat the famous Franky.But the most important thing in a war is the result. Winning is winning. No matter what, winning a battle is better than losing a battle.

I only hope that they can defeat the rebels as soon as possible and completely put down the domestic rebellion.

As long as the rear is stable and more troops and resources can be provided for Huaishuiguan, Mattesias may not be willing to be a big turtle with his head shrunk to defend.

At that time, if the people of Riga still dare to play this kind of trick of luring a snake out of its hole, the Grand Duke will not mind at all if the fake trick is real, and it will be self-defeating for the other party.

hum!

……

In the magnificent interior, there are lifelike mural reliefs, and the walls are surrounded by priceless ornaments and famous paintings, which are majestic and majestic.

The tables, chairs, screens and other furniture in the hall are also free of mediocrity and are of high value.It is impossible for those who are not very rich and high-ranking officials to afford it.

Obviously, this place is a noble family.

If it is more accurate, perhaps the word "once" should be added in front of it.

If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that all these items have been scoured by time, leaving behind broken traces that cannot be eliminated.

An old man was sitting on the same expensive but dilapidated high-backed chair in the hall.

The old man was dressed in white, very plain.The fabrics used are not extremely bad, but they are far from luxurious.There are almost no extra gold, silver, jade and other ornaments on the hands, head, and body, just like an ordinary old man in an ordinary family.

Anyone who steps into the hall can see clearly with just a quick glance:

The ancestors of this family must have been brilliant and prominent, extremely wealthy, but now they are in decline.The old man was reluctant to part with the valuables left by his ancestors, and refused to sell them for money to help support the family.I had no choice but to live frugally and live with dilapidated "antiques".

If someone who knew this old man heard it, he would definitely scoff at this statement and shout out that it is absurd!

The old man looks kind and kind, like a kind grandfather next door.But seeing the occasional flashes of light between his eyes opening and closing, as well as the faint power that he raised his hands and feet without expressing it deliberately, all of them showed the extraordinaryness of the old man.

The so-called "Nursing and moving the body, living in Yi Qi", if he hadn't been in a high position for a long time and was used to giving orders, how could he behave like this?

At this moment, this distinguished old man just sat quietly on the chair without any movement, like a carefully crafted sculpture.

The old man had carefully read the information sent by the steward word by word, and it was deeply engraved in his mind.Those words seemed to turn into a whip, whipping his body and soul constantly, urging him to make a decision as soon as possible.

But is this multiple-choice question so easy to do?
The loyal old butler stood with his hands down, waiting quietly, his wrinkled face was full of anxiety.

a long time.

The old butler finally couldn't bear it anymore, and reminded: "Master..."

The old man, who seemed to be immersed in some kind of thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, was shocked, as if he had been awakened.

"Ah~"

He moved his lips, but he didn't say anything, it just turned into a long and deep sigh.It is full of compassion, reluctance, regret, pain, guilt... and many other emotions, which are complicated and inexplicable.

For a while, the hall fell into deathly silence again.It seems that this has been the case since ancient times, and it will continue to continue forever.

On the large, expensive, and simple long table in front of the old man, a piece of paper lay quietly.The neat lines of text above brought news from afar:

——On May 5, the Aberdeen army detoured north and fought against Taranto, who was waiting for work, in an unnamed valley.Aberdeen wins, Keqishi and Frankie lead the north retreat...

——On June 6, the rested Aberdeen army continued northward to attack the Taranto defense line on the banks of the White River.Three days later, Ke Qishi and Franky continued to retreat northward...

——On June 6, the high-morale Aberdeen army pursued the victory and attacked Taranto's third checkpoint in Ironwood Town.After two days of fierce fighting, the line of defense was broken, and Ke Qishi and Franky continued to lead the defeated army to retreat northward...

——On June 6, the Aberdeen army had no time to rest and followed closely behind the defeated army of Keqishi and Franky, and arrived at the fourth checkpoint in Taranto: Mount Mora.John did not set up camp, but after a little rectification, he immediately commanded the whole army to attack.Caught off guard, Taranto was unable to resist, and had to give up the line of defense after holding on for an hour, retreating hastily...

——On June 6, regardless of fatigue, the Aberdeen army bit Taranto's tail tightly and chased to the fifth line of defense.The defenders of the checkpoint that had to be fortified in advance tried their best to stop the enemy, and Frank was able to successfully enter the camp in the Silver Hill Valley and gain a firm foothold...

As of the date of sending this report, the two armies are still in a standoff...

　Well, the time for future updates will be changed to 08:30 in the morning.
