Chapter 244 Raid Camp
Outside the Huaishui Pass, in the camp of the Riga army led by General Dino, Goatee, who had just returned from a mission, was reporting the situation to the commander of the army.

"According to what you say, this Anthony is frivolous and impetuous, proud and warlike, and doesn't want to talk to us at all?"

After hearing what he said, General Dino frowned unknowingly.

"Exactly."

The goatee had long since lost the arrogance and rudeness he had just had when he was on the mission, and his attitude was humble and respectful.

"I think that Anthony was in a high position at a young age and made outstanding achievements repeatedly. I don't know what kind of luck he had, but he happened to defeat Schindler and General Franky. He was even more arrogant and arrogant. .From my point of view, this young man should have some abilities, but his weaknesses are also extremely obvious. As long as we pay careful attention, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with him."

General Dino pondered, noncommittal to his opinion.

"From your observation, what is the relationship between Anthony and Mattesias?"

The goatee thought for a while, and replied: "It should be that the appearance is close, and the face is at odds with the heart. Anthony advocates fighting to the end, but Mattesias is more conservative and tends to negotiate peace with us. If Mattesias hadn't thrown them out in the end In the name of the king, this negotiation may be messed up by Anthony from the very beginning."

General Dino said: "Matesias has been guarding all his life, and he has become used to it. Now that he is old, his aggressiveness should be almost worn away. Anthony is just the opposite of him. After a few victories, I naturally want to make another victory."

He secretly compared in his heart, Anthony is extremely aggressive, obviously more dangerous.But Mattesias' defense is strict, like a fortified wall, and he can't do anything about it after a year of attacking, but it causes him more headaches than Anthony.

"Matesias is a hard-core confidant supported by King Beckenbauer. He has guarded the portal of the Brilliant Empire for decades and is deeply trusted by the King of the Brilliant Empire. Although Anthony has just risen recently, he is full of genius. Franky once rated him as a The biggest threat to the future of the empire must be eliminated quickly. With these two people around, it will be at least twice as difficult for us to capture the glorious empire. If there is a conflict between them, it is the best news for us. We must Make good use of this aspect and make a big fuss."

General Dino made a simple analysis, but finally let out a long sigh.

"However, this is a matter for the future. At least in a short period of time, the goal of laying down a glorious empire is impossible to achieve."

The goatee knew why he sighed softly, and comforted him: "With the general's ability, even in the face of Mattesias and Anthony, as long as you slowly figure it out, I believe you will be able to find a loophole and knock them down in one fell swoop. Land. If it wasn't for the situation in the country, His Majesty the King is unwilling to make enemies on multiple fronts and go to war everywhere, and we don't need to take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Brilliant Empire."

General Dino waved his hand and said: "Okay, I will talk about this later. The most urgent thing is to try our best to conclude a peace treaty and temporarily end the war with the Glorious Empire, so that we can free up our hands to deal with the so-called rebels and rebels." ***. But Anthony is not in favor of negotiations, and I'm afraid he will only focus on preventing the destruction. We can't give him an excuse to make him use the problem. Let's follow his idea, pull out the camp, and withdraw the camp ten miles back. As for the specifics Negotiations depend on how much effort you put in, and try to settle things at the lowest cost."

The goatee bowed his hands and gave a deep salute.

"As ordered!"

……

The night is already deep, there are no stars or moon in the dark sky, and the thick clouds are pressing down, making people feel a little depressed out of thin air.

Since the afternoon, there have been light rains in the sky.By now around midnight, the rain was getting heavier.With the cold night rain and the muddy ground, everyone wants to shrink into a warm room and have a good night's sleep with the quilt in their arms.

But not everyone can enjoy this simple happiness. On the outskirts of the new camp set up by the army led by General Dino, two sentry soldiers hid in a tree hole, watching the drizzle of rain and constantly complaining.

"It's really unlucky to come out to patrol and watch in this horrible weather."

One of the ferocious middle-aged soldiers wiped the mud from his face and said indignantly.

The other soldier was younger, with a little childishness on his face.

"Boss, it's not good for us to hide here to avoid the rain and not go on patrol, right? If the officer finds out, I'm afraid we will be punished with military sticks."

"whispering sound!"

The middle-aged boss looked disdainful, but leaned lazily on the tree trunk.

"It's freezing cold now, and it's still raining lightly. Besides us two unlucky ones, who else would come out on purpose to catch our pigtails?"

"But……"

The young soldier was hesitating to speak, when suddenly he seemed to hear a sound, and quickly stuck his head out of the tree hole, looking around vigilantly.

After a while, he retracted back into the tree hole again, apparently without finding anything.However, the head and face that had just been wiped clean were once again covered with rainwater.

"Your boy is always nervous. Let me tell you, our place is very safe. It doesn't matter if you are on patrol or not."

The boss squinted at him and said calmly.

The young soldier was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

The boss said, "Who do you think our enemies are?"

"Of course it's the Brilliant Imperial Army in Huaishuiguan." The young soldier replied as a matter of course.

"That's right, but the Glorious Empire is negotiating with us on the truce. How could they attack us at this time?"

The young soldier said worriedly: "Not necessarily. The so-called soldiers never tire of deceit. Who knows if they will launch a sneak attack quietly while talking."

The boss looked at him with a look of hating iron but not steel.

"If our two countries are reversed, and our Riga Empire plans to attack them while negotiating, it is still possible. Just rely on the people of the Brilliant Empire? Do they dare? General Dino is willing to negotiate peace with them and not continue to attack Huaishuiguan , they should be thankful."

The young soldier opened his mouth and retorted: "The Brilliant Empire is not as weak as originally imagined. Don't say that the Huaishuiguan defenders will not retreat. We have fought for so long and we can't take it down. I heard that they have a young general again." , very powerful, and put down the domestic rebellion in less than two months. Even General Franky and General Schindler of our Riga Empire fell into his hands. impossible."

The soldiers at the bottom of the army are not well-informed, but the high-level generals always have close people, and these close people also have good friends and confidantes, and subordinates have subordinates.Through such a layer-by-layer transmission, even small soldiers like young soldiers can get an overview of the battle situation in the territory of the Brilliant Empire.

The boss can't refute what the junior said, he can only falter.

"Well, this, across the Huaishui Pass, who knows what the real situation is. The general named Anthony is said to be less than 20 years old, about the same age as your kid, but has great abilities. Do you think it is possible? Lao Tzu said, don’t let the guys from the Brilliant Empire blow up a hero to boost morale. Although Frankie and the other two generals were defeated, it may not have anything to do with the so-called genius boy, but he just credited all the credit for it. It's just on him."

The young soldier didn't agree, but he didn't know much about it, so he had nothing to say.

Seeing that the other party was calmed down, the boss hurriedly changed the subject.

"Actually, I'm sure that the Brilliant Empire didn't dare to come. This is not the main reason."

"Oh, what's the main reason?" The young soldier was indeed diverted, and hurriedly asked.

The boss said: "Thinking that Anthony is warlike, even if he is overconfident, it is hard to guarantee that he will not lead the army to attack in a moment of enthusiasm."

The young soldier thought to himself, that's exactly what I said.

Fortunately, it was dark at the moment, and he couldn't see clearly in the tree hole. The boss didn't see his face.

"The Brilliant Empire has been suppressed by us for so many years. If there is any ability, it would have started to fight back. We took the initiative to ask for peace. Even if they don't agree immediately, they have to think carefully and think about it for a long time. What about the great general and grand duke, No matter how powerful they are, they dare not make rash decisions on their own, after all, they still have to report to their king, wait for the king's will, and then act. This way, it will take ten and a half months, how can it be finished?"

The young soldier nodded, this is indeed reasonable.

"So, this period of time is the safest. Unless we take the initiative to attack, there will be absolutely no war."

The boss moved his body to make himself lie down more comfortably, and continued to speak leisurely.

"Actually, you only need to take a closer look to know whether the barricades, trenches, and other fortifications arranged around this new camp are much rougher and cruder than our previous camping arrangements. ?”

When the young soldier thought about it, it really was like that.According to General Dino's previous standards, he would be punished for doing this job like this.

"Boss, what do you mean to say, everyone knows that no one will attack the camp, and it is raining and cold, so they are lazy and just pretend to deal with it?"

"You just know?" the boss said angrily.

Only then did the young soldier feel relieved. Although he was still a little uneasy, since everyone has relaxed their vigilance, what's the use of being careful and responsible by yourself?
Just as the young soldier forced himself to relax, he imitated his boss and leaned on the tree trunk relaxedly.Suddenly, there was a tremor under the buttocks.

The tremor was not intense, but the two lazy patrol soldiers jumped up, forgetting that they were still hiding in the tree hole, and suddenly bumped into a dizzy, with big bumps on their heads.

With dizzy eyes, he got up, drilled out of the tree hole, and looked out with his eyes wide open.

The rain is still heavy, and the line of sight is not far away.Dimly, they vaguely saw black figures one by one, like ferocious beasts, rushing towards this side and approaching quickly.

Enemy attack!

The two realized what it was in an instant, but before they could send a signal to the camp, two long arrows pierced through the rain and nailed them precisely at their throats.

When the young soldier fell, only a low and cold voice was heard.

"The whole army obeys orders, give up stealth, and attack with all its strength!"

The boss was wrong, the Brilliant Empire ate up the courage of the bear and leopard, and brazenly launched an active attack!
This was the last thought that crossed the young warrior's mind.

……

The King of the Riga Empire frowned, struggling with the memorial on the table.

In recent years, the Riga Empire has fought south and north, conquering more than a dozen neighboring countries, large and small, and its military prestige is as strong as ever.But it is easy to kill the army and break through the city, but it is very difficult for these countries to truly belong to the Riga Empire and be recognized as a part of the Riga Empire.

The Riga Empire is beautiful on the surface, but the old forces in these countries have raised the flag of the restoration of the national flag from time to time, ups and downs, making the imperial army exhausted.To make matters worse, even the original people of the empire were dissatisfied with the king's successive years of war.According to reports from officials from various places, mysterious organizations of unknown origin have been found in many places, and they seem to be plotting to rebel and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the king.

If not, the king would not go out of his way to ask for peace talks after losing the battle of the Brilliant Empire.

Now I just hope that General Dino can speed up the process of peace talks, so that we can join forces as soon as possible to solve the internal problems of the empire.

When the country is stabilized, we will definitely raise an army again and crush the glorious empire in one fell swoop!
The king thought bitterly, but at this moment he only hoped that General Dino would come back quickly.To this end, the king has authorized him to make considerable concessions in the peace talks.

Anyway, what the Brilliant Empire eats, sooner or later it will spit out all the profits.snort!

"Your Majesty, a military emergency report on the Western Front!"

An official walked in hastily, with a panic and panic that couldn't be concealed on his face.

The king's face sank, he reached for the emergency report, and opened it to read.

"...On the night of the peace talks, the Huaishuiguan defenders took advantage of the rainy night to attack the camp. The West Conquest Army was defeated and defeated, and the entire army was wiped out! The commander, General Dino, only saved himself..."

The king's hands trembled, and he almost couldn't hold the fluttering letter.His face flushed instantly, his eyes widened.Suddenly there was a wow, a mouthful of blood was spit out, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

"Pass to the imperial physician, quickly pass to the imperial physician!"

Inside the Imperial Palace of the Riga Empire, there was chaos.
