Chapter 177 Crisis Reappears
Archbishop Garrincha in red had a serious face, and his already rigid and serious face was even more expressionless at the moment.

You don't need to ask too much, just looking at the expressions on the faces of the eight subordinates, you can guess that this time the separate search still didn't find anything.

When sneaking through the Riga Empire, someone saw through the hiding place and attracted a large army to hunt down and hunt him down, which wasted a lot of time.When they finally arrived at the place, several people carefully searched and searched carefully. They walked back and forth in this area many times, but still found nothing.

The archbishop in red had a gloomy face, and the flames of anger in his heart were flying everywhere. He only felt that this trip to the glorious empire was not going well in any way.

"Everyone, take a rest first!"

None of the people under his command spoke, and everyone actually had nothing to report.What should be reflected in the report has been reported and reflected long ago, and now all that is left is to search again and again, hoping to find some clues.

I'm afraid it's impossible to find it!

The fact that Cardinal Garrincha could guess what other people were thinking but couldn't say anything made him even more annoyed.

Everyone has been searching hard, but they can't find it, so what can they do?
Before coming here, he didn't know that this area was an inaccessible area.Although it is not considered a barren mountain, but often walking for a day will not see half a person.

If there is no one, naturally there is no way to ask for information, and you can only look and see with your own feet and eyes.

But the area mentioned in the oracle is not small!No matter how careful the 9 of them are, it is inevitable that there is nothing missing.

If their goals are cautious enough, and the traces are cleared up enough, then even if they spend their entire lives here, it is impossible to find anything.

9 people sat in a circle, casually.Drinking water and eating dry food silently, no one is in the mood to speak.

There seemed to be a smell called depression in the air.

……

According to Anthony's request, the combined forces of Aberdeen and Burgundy will last for 3 days.

The affairs that need to be dealt with after the war, such as post-war statistics, inventory of losses, treatment of the wounded, and reorganization of troops, have already been completed.But the army still stayed in the same place safely and did not move from the nest.Neither went to chase the retreating Taranto army, nor led the army back to the province of Aberdeen.

They didn't just sleep in all day long without doing anything. The soldiers trained hard under the leadership of their respective officers, actively practicing various formations.

Under the spared no efforts in publicizing and recommending the leaders of the two major armies, General John and General Muller, the soldiers from the two provinces have learned that the actual coach and commander of the army has been replaced by the young man named Anthony. .

Under the narration and introduction of General John who did not hesitate to blackmail himself, the Aberdeen soldiers finally understood why their own side had been retreating steadily on the battlefield three days ago, and was only a hair away from the big rout.But suddenly stopped the decline, stabilized his position, and finally persisted until the arrival of reinforcements.

Only after experiencing the test of life and death, and after tumbling on the death line and saving their lives, did the soldiers deeply understand that those battle formations that seem to be just for training can really play such an important role on the battlefield. effect.At this moment, when practicing, he is naturally concentrating on it, working extremely hard, and there is no need for the officer to remind and scold him.

Everyone was grateful and admired the commander Anthony at the time.To carry out the orders he gave, naturally, he did his best and followed everything.

But obeying orders is one thing, and it is not surprising that he has some thoughts in his heart.

Wait?What are you waiting for?Why wait?
With the addition of General Muller's Tiger Cavalry Regiment, the strength of the army has not decreased but increased. At least from the data on paper, our side has the upper hand.As for the commander's link, which originally made the soldiers feel the most uncertain and uneasy, there was a wonderful battle between Anthony and Franky as evidence. Everyone has every reason to believe that even if one's own side cannot overwhelm the enemy in this respect, at least You won't suffer.

That being the case, the soldiers really couldn't guess any reason not to take advantage of the situation and pursue it, so as to quell the civil strife as soon as possible, and then deal with the invasion of the Riga Empire with all their strength.

Fortunately, with the full support of the two generals, coupled with the solid record, although the soldiers were puzzled, they did not have any dissatisfaction or doubts about Anthony.

And as an urgent official document of eight hundred miles entered the depths of the camp, everyone finally understood what Anthony was waiting for.

……

The imperial capital, deep in the palace.

The supreme ruler of the Brilliant Empire, King Beckenbauer Alexandra, sat slumped on the gorgeous high-backed chair representing supreme power, as if all his strength had been exhausted, and he could not move at all.

His eyes were empty, his face was hopeless, and he was still muttering to himself: "This is impossible, this is not true! Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

On the ground in front of him, the Four Treasures of the Study, official documents and information were scattered everywhere.Even the heavy long table was pushed upside down by His Majesty the King in a rage.

In a pile of scattered sundries, two fiery red official documents marked with a sign of extreme urgency were opened and landed in the most conspicuous position.

His Majesty's behavior at this moment is precisely because of these two urgent documents.

The first one is the report on the counter-insurgency battle in Taranto province.

The Aberdeen army fell into an extremely dangerous situation due to Franky's trick.Fortunately, Anthony stepped forward and took over the command from General John, helping the army stabilize the situation.When the reinforcement Tiger Cavalry Regiment from Burgundy Province arrived on the battlefield, Frankie knew he was invincible, and before the reinforcements arrived, he led the Taranto rebels to retreat without a fight.

At this point, the alarm bell for the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army has finally been completely lifted.The army is now camping in place, resting and waiting for orders.

While King Beckenbauer breathed a sigh of relief in this military report, he couldn't even tell whether it was good news or bad news.

On the contrary, Anthony lived up to his reputation as a new star of the empire, and once again demonstrated his miraculous genius in the new field of military affairs.

Despite the difficulties and trials in the country, such an unborn genius was born in a glorious empire that was in trouble. Isn't this a hint from the heavens?
With a rather joyful mood, King Beckenbauer opened another piece of information that was almost sent by his front and rear.

After just one glance, His Majesty the King felt as if he was being shocked by an electric shock, and his eyes went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

It seems that it is really impossible to speculate on Tianwei's power.

If the battle report of the province of Taranto is an ambiguous hint, then this urgent official document seems to be clearly telling King Beckenbauer:
You are wrong!How wrong!
"The Grand Duke of Finney in the province of Brussels rebelled and sent his generals to lead an army into the province of Burgundy!"

With a short sentence, His Majesty the King, who was still in a happy mood, was instantly sent into the abyss of hell.

There are a total of six provinces in the Brilliant Empire, and two of them rebelled at once.

The province of Taranto failed to suppress the rebellion, and Aberdeen's conquest army was even more traumatized.Outside, the army of the Riga Empire is eyeing it, and it chooses the opportunity to devour it.The Brilliant Empire was already under extremely heavy pressure on its shoulders, and now it was even worse, facing the danger of a complete collapse at any time.

"Is this God's plan to destroy my glorious empire?"

King Beckenbauer, who had already been overwhelmed, seemed to be crushed in an instant. His unyielding fighting spirit and persistence disappeared without a trace, leaving only unwilling whispers to himself.

……

"Brussels also mutinied?"

When Muller and General John, who came in a hurry, saw the content of the eight-hundred-mile urgent document, their first reaction was disbelief.

General John frowned, holding the official document tightly in his hands, as if he could squeeze out water.

"The Grand Duke Finney of Brussels loves the people like his son, and is deeply loved by the people under his rule. The people in the province are simple and docile, which is in stark contrast to the martial arts province of Edinburgh. More importantly, the Grand Duke Finney has always been aloof from the world I have no ambitions, I just want to take care of the province under my leadership, and be a happy rich man with peace of mind. How could such a kind-hearted elder stab the empire in the back at this critical moment?"

He almost questioned whether the information was wrong.Although he knew very well in his heart that such urgent and important information must be sent out after careful review, and such low-level mistakes are impossible.

Even so, he still couldn't figure out why the Grand Duke of Finney would rebel.

The Grand Duke of Finney is different from the ambitious Duke of Keqis, who can be described as a clear-cut royal opposition.Even if there is no external reason for the Riga Empire's army to suppress the border, some small actions will be made overtly and secretly.As long as there is a suitable time and a certain chance of winning, he will definitely rebel without hesitation.

It can be said that Taranto's rebellion was both unexpected and reasonable.

But the mutiny in the province of Brussels was something no one had expected before.

Muller said angrily: "Then who knows, the army from Brussels has already invaded the province of Burgundy, and it is a certain fact that they have betrayed the empire. Maybe the old thief Finney deliberately pretended not to be interested in power." The benevolent elder's appearance is precisely to paralyze everyone and make everyone careless of him. Its purpose is just like what it is now, and it caught us by surprise."

General John nodded silently, but quickly shook his head slightly again.

Mueller's account is by far the most plausible explanation, and the only plausible one.Although General John couldn't say why, he always felt that there might be something else going on.

Anthony patted his hands lightly, drawing their attention.

"Two generals, now is not the time to explore the cause of Duke Finney's rebellion. Although this is also very important, what is more important is, what kind of countermeasures should we take in response to this sudden situation?"

Both Mueller and General John were shocked and immediately came to their senses.

Yes!People have already called at the door, and it would be a bit inappropriate to study his motives again.The most urgent task is how to deal with this sudden crisis.

Muller slammed his fist on the armor on his chest, and first expressed his attitude: "The Brussels army seems to be menacing and is bound to win, but my Burgundian soldiers are not soft persimmons to be squeezed. Even without my tiger The cavalry regiment, the brothers who stay behind will never let them please. Brother, you can make whatever decision you want, and you don’t have to worry too much about me because of Burgundy.”

"General Muller is quick to see things, and he will be far behind!"

General John sighed upon hearing this.

"The opponent's move is very similar to ours. It is also harassing the rear, luring the expeditionary army to return to rescue, exhausted. Not only the enemy's crisis cannot be rescued, but also we can take advantage of our army's fatigue and people's hearts. If the general was as calm and calm as General Muller at that time, fully trusted the ability of the troops left behind, and continued to implement the original combat plan, the enemy would have no chance to take advantage of it. The current situation may be different. The scene."

It is much easier to break the mystery and analyze and calculate backwards than when you are in a puzzle.

General John also wanted to understand now that the Taranto army's combat power was relatively weak, and it was not good at fortified battles at all.If it wasn't for Aberdeen's lack of strength left behind, and the fact that Taranto didn't think about defending and resisting at all, and dared to counterattack, their negligence for a while would have given them a little bit of sweetness.

If they dare to continue to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Aberdeen, they will inevitably encounter a broken head under the strong city that has been prepared for a long time.

At that time, I will lead my army to take down the province of Taranto, which is empty of troops, and then return to the army calmly.Chen Bing, the rebel army under the fortified city of Aberdeen, was exhausted after a long period of attack, and their hearts were fluctuating.

This is an upright method of using troops, there is nothing wonderful and surprising, but it will not let the opponent find any loopholes.It is the best choice when the force is superior, but the strategy is not as good as that of the opponent.

It's just that there were too many selfish distractions in my mind at the time, and Frankie's character traits were considered dead by Franky, so he was led by the nose.

Anthony argued for him: "General John does not need to blame himself too much. General Muller has a natural blood relationship with the Grand Duke Mateus. This is an advantage that the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army does not have. When choosing to make a decision It's normal to have differences."

The base camp warned, if Mueller judged the situation and did not return to help himself, his father would at most scold him afterwards.

But for General John, if he is indifferent to the crisis behind him, no matter what the final result is, whether it is a false alarm or not, who can guarantee that the Grand Duke Edwards will not have any thoughts in his heart?
From the perspective of his personal interests, returning to the army for rescue is the safest strategy.

Muller couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Anthony's statement.Although they are both leading generals, their status determines that they can be less bound by factors other than the battlefield than others.It is obviously neither reasonable nor fair to accuse and criticize other people's strategic choices.

General John cast a grateful look at the young man, and then asked, "In your opinion, what should we do next?"

"That's right!" Mueller also continued to ask, "Brother, you made us wait here for three days in vain. I didn't understand why before, but now it seems that you have already expected today's sudden change. In this case, Presumably you already have a perfect countermeasure in mind?"

General John was also shocked when he heard the words, and looked at this magical boy with eyes full of hope.
