Butters sighed: "So, do you need me to go to the front line?" He confidently stroked the broad sword on his waist.

Sidok shook his head slowly: "Jerry is a very smart man. You don't need to go to the front line, he will give you a very generous military honor. After all, he and Lei will need your care in the military in the future."

, Huh? Of course, we can't be too conspicuous. After all, His Majesty's cronies also have their own intelligence systems in the Five Beasts Legion. You just need to kill a few soldiers from the principality... You send a message to Lei, about

There is no need to send the information about that boy Bikart to the imperial capital... When I explain it to His Majesty in the future, I will say that it is because he is too angry and bent on annihilating the principality's army, so... you understand."

Butters nodded, and he suddenly chuckled: "Father, the Walters family actually wants to seize the position of Minister of Military Affairs from you. Are they a little too courageous?"

Sidok chuckled and turned the crystal cup in his hand lightly with his dry fingers: "Of course, of course, my position is naturally reserved for you. When they were fighting with our family, they actually deliberately

To provoke Lei, whom Your Majesty trusts most now, those young people in their family really don't consider the interests of the family." After a moment of silence, Sidok said calmly: "In a few days, you will go there.

Let's go. Before you leave the imperial capital, my son, don't you want to see how good your swordsmanship is after decades of hard training? Go say hello to the Walters family, I want to see yours too.

What is the strength?"

Butters bowed slowly and said respectfully: "That's natural, father. I don't want them to always send some third-rate killers to harass me. It's okay to give them some strength."

Lei led 200,000 Kuanglong soldiers and 170,000 Jaguar soldiers to form a thick skirmish line, combing through the entire Danube Principality like a comb. Four days later, they finally confirmed that Rockart, Inger, and Bi Meng had left the Danube Principality. Lei stood by the Bama Canal and sneered: "Behemoth, what a coward. He actually let hundreds of thousands of new soldiers attack Yasuo and Misi's camp. Hum, it's just... I just want to escape with my relatives...Okay, Karub, let the brothers cross the river. We return to the territory of Fort Carson and instruct the private army generals behind to station more sentries beside the Bama Canal. I want to make sure that they cannot escape back to the Danube Principality."

Lei's army slowly began to cross the river, and Kalub led Lei into the dungeon of Bishui Castle.

Kicking open the heavy iron door, Lei personally held the torch and entered the small cell. Sauter jumped up from the ground like an ape and jumped into the corner of the cell with both hands carefully guarded. In front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly to adapt to the sudden bright light.

The murderous aura in Lei's body surged toward Sauter, and his electric gaze scanned Sauter's slender, powerful body, and his angular fingers that were as sharp as steel bars and contained great strength. Sauter's body trembled slightly. His fighting spirit, which barely reached the level of a first-level gold knight, was really unable to resist Lei's violent murderous intention. However, his eyes were still looking at Lei unyieldingly.

Lei snorted: "Surrender to me, and I can let you serve as the archer instructor of my legion and command all the archers. This is an opportunity for you. I know you are a good hunter and the best archer. , I can see it, because I am also one of the few top archers on the mainland. This is not me bragging, this is a fact... But among my subordinate generals, I lack a person like you. If you surrender to me, Swear to obey me on the honor of your family, then you can obtain a higher position of power than in the army of the Principality of Fort Carson."

Sauter sneered: "You are joking, General Lei, you are joking. I will not surrender to you."

A murderous look flashed in Lei's eyes: "Really?"

Sauter nodded slowly: "Of course it is true, I will never surrender to you. You want me to train a group of soldiers who massacred my compatriots, train them into elite archers, and then use them to rule my compatriots. This is something I absolutely cannot accept... Absolutely not. Or, you people from the Fante Empire can or have surrendered to the Smart people who set foot on your territory? That only proves that you will surrender to the enemy. , and we, the people of the Principality of Fort Carson, will never do this."

A stream of air mixed with heat waves hit Sauter's chest. Sauter's muscles immediately tightened, but he still couldn't resist Lei's casual finger, and he fell to the ground. Lei looked at him indifferently. Sauter, who was twitching on the ground, said: "We Fante people will not surrender to the enemy... Talking nonsense will not bring you any benefits. Think about it, you are a rare Talent, I can give you more time to think about working for me. One year, ten years, twenty years, or your whole life, when you have thought about it, come and tell me."

Sauter struggled and shouted: "I'm telling you right now, I will never be loyal to you."

Lei Dan smiled: "Then, you can live here for the rest of your life. You are older than me, but you still have more than a hundred years to live, right? Not everyone can live for a hundred years in a place like this.

Such an opportunity. Karub, give Mr. Sauter and his subordinates the best food and the best clothing, but they must not let them see even a ray of sunshine. I think the people of the mountainous area are the most affectionate.

It's natural, isn't it? My dear Lord Sauter."

Lei walked out with a smile and handed the torch to Lomat beside him. The two mad dragon soldiers closed the heavy iron door.

Lomat sighed: "They are all very good archers. Sir, look at their body shapes. They all meet your requirements for longbowmen. They are tall, powerful, have good aim, and can shoot very well."

It is good to judge the influence of wind strength and wind direction on arrows. When we ambush them, we suffered a lot from their arrows."

Lei snorted heavily: "If it wasn't to get them to join my long archer queue, why would I bother so much? Well, it would be great if I could capture Rockart alive. If Rockart ordered them to be loyal to me,

These unruly warriors will listen to me obediently, right? Hum hum, let’s see if they are really not loyal to their enemies... Cross the river, cross the river, tell the brothers to go faster, cross the river...

.Adopt the old method on the territory of Fort Carson, burn down their houses, and tell the people that it is because of Rockart that they have suffered so much."

After walking back to the ground, Lei paused and ordered: "Arrest Rockart and Inger's relatives. According to what the spies saw, Beamon's relatives escaped with him, so Inger's relatives and Luo

Where are Carter's relatives? Catch them and use them to force Rockart and the others to surrender... When we put the sword on Rockart's mother's neck, what else can Carson's Tigers do? People, for themselves

Mothers always have deep feelings, right?"

Lomat sent a messenger, ordering Crete and the others to prepare to occupy the Greenleaf Castle and track down the news about the Rocart family. However, after thinking about it, the Rocart family would not just stay in the Greenleaf Castle and wait for the arrest of the Vant soldiers.

They should have left their home a long time ago, so the only way to find out the news is to torture the people of Fort Carson. Lomat muttered in a low voice: "I hope those people will not support a lord who has abandoned themselves. I hope

They wouldn't be so stupid as to use their own homes to cover up the whereabouts of those nobles."

Lei stood on the city wall and saw the dense dragons that looked like ant colonies and the soldiers of the Jaguar Legion preparing to cross the river. He suddenly sneered: "Those division commanders who disobeyed my orders should have understood by now that I was right.

?Karub, let them out. If they still insist that I obtained the command of the Jaguar Legion through improper means, then let them continue to return to the dungeon."

Karub nodded and went with a group of high-level knights. He had to guard against the angry division commanders who would get angry and attack. Lomat lightly flicked the dust on his shoulders and smiled.

Said: "Sir, should we send people to move out all the residents of those villages near the mountainous area? I don't believe that their army can persist in fighting us without supplies."

Lei nodded: "It doesn't matter whether they move out or not. Anyway, their houses will be burned down, and their food and other things will also be taken away. Tell them that they can eat if they come to the nearest town. If they don't come, they will

They will have to starve. If they insist on staying in their own village, then the problem of the people waiting to eat will be left to Rokart and the others. Tens of thousands more people will help them eat military rations. I think this will be better than if we kill them.

Thousands of soldiers make it even more difficult for them."

Lomat smiled: "Then, that's it, I'll give the order... It depends on the situation. The weather is going to change recently. There is a lot of rain in the spring in the Principality of Fort Carson. It will be difficult for them to move when they encounter spring rain in the mountains.

of."

Lei looked at the light green mountain forest in front of him, nodded slightly, rubbed his hands together, and ordered: "Well, no matter how much it is, anyway, we have enough food, grass and tents, so brothers can prepare for us every day

Push forward for twenty miles without letting go of any inch of land. I will slowly force them into a small area. When the time comes, they will have to fight us... But what is that kid Jerry doing now?

?He will not push forward slowly like me."

Lomart gently moved the hair that hung from his head to his forehead, pouted and smiled: "Sir Jerry, the person who is targeted by him must feel very uncomfortable, right?"

Lei hehehe said a few times: "No matter what Jerry is doing, let's start preparations. Let Crete sit in Greenleaf Castle as our backbone. The other brothers will start to practice cooperative combat tactics while advancing. If they can't find the enemy to fight,

, at least brothers can’t rest, it has to play a role in military training.”

Thick black smoke floated over the Dark Prison Forest, and two Orion villages were burned down. Hundreds of strong hunters grabbed their weapons and began to resist, but they were immediately knocked to the ground by elite Vant warriors. These

How could the tough hunters fight against the well-trained soldiers? They could only accept the reality that their village was destroyed, gathered some necessary swords, and left helplessly under the supervision of the Mad Dragon Legion.

own village.

Soon, a no-man's land was opened to the east of the Dark Prison Forest. Within ten miles in depth, not a single Fort Carson civilian remained. Countless wild dragons and Jaguar Legion soldiers were like an iron wall, slowly moving forward.

Slowly moving forward, moving, towards the front line of the Dark Prison Forest. Finally, their defenses had been built to the edge of the forest. The solid bunkers and arrow towers were completely in accordance with normal field standards.

Built. According to Lomat: "Our soldiers can not only train their offensive capabilities, but also train their defense, so building some fortifications, this kind of training is also indispensable."

Because of Lomat's words, the 370,000-strong army dug countless ditches and built countless arrow towers and bunkers along the way. However, according to Lei's orders, these fortifications were carefully avoided.

The fields of the local people did not damage their land. After all, burning their houses and robbing their property was just a means, a gesture, to force Rockart and the others to come out for a decisive battle, or to alienate the relationship between the common people of the principality and Rockart and the others.

In the future, we will still have to rely on these civilians to resume production and dig out those precious minerals. Therefore, what Lei ordered to burn were just those houses that were easy to build. It had a particularly heavy psychological impact on the civilians of the principality, but it had no practical impact on their economy.

damage on.

After bringing together more than a hundred high-level prisoners such as Bikater and Beamon's army in the Dark Prison Forest, Rockart, Inger, and Beamon led a total of more than 91,000 elite soldiers, including more than 30,000

The wounded soldiers retreated towards Rockart's secret training camp in the Thunder God Mountains. There, Rockart had accumulated a certain amount of food and grass, and there were certain housing facilities where the wounded soldiers could obtain better training conditions.

Looking at the black smoke rising just outside the forest, and then looking at the ditches and traffic ditches that were getting closer and closer, Rockart's face turned extremely ugly: "Damn it, they want to push us into the mountains, where,

We can’t get enough food and grass supplies. Inger, what do you think we should do?”

Inger helplessly looked at the iron-clad defense line and sighed: "What can we do? Our current strength is not enough to break through this defense line. Only when the soldiers have restored their strongest combat effectiveness can we possibly

Break through this line of defense. Fortunately, our goal is not to have a head-on conflict with them. The only thing we need is to attack their various strongholds and kill their garrisoned troops."

Beamon looked at the towering arrow towers outside the dense forest and said viciously: "This damn Lei, what kind of tactics is he doing? He is simply bullying us with his superior strength. If we also had hundreds of thousands of troops, we would have been killed long ago.

Just fight him."

Lockart said faintly: "Behemoth, don't think about those unrealistic issues. If we have hundreds of thousands of troops like this, do we still need to be afraid of the Vant Empire? Before they enter the Dark Prison Forest, we

Let's retreat towards the Thunder God Mountains first... Let the injured soldiers go first. I will take people to Greenleaf Castle to see if I can find a chance to kill them. Ying Geer, you go with me, Beamon, you

Take the remaining soldiers to the training camp and remember not to conflict with them."

Beamon spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground: "Don't worry, I, Beamon, will not be unaware of the seriousness. However, you two, pay attention, where are your families? Don't let them use your relatives to force you.

You surrender, if possible, and take them to the training camp, which is the safest."

Rockart nodded slowly, gently pulled out the spear stuck in the mud, and said: "That's natural, Yingger, your mother is now with my family, they are all in Green Leaf

We will pick them up in the town of Kana near the castle and see if there is a chance to kill some Vants... Beamon, we will take 20,000 people there. Please be careful and be sure to take the remaining soldiers safely.

Training camp, do you understand?"

Beamon nodded and said a little impatiently: "Don't worry, am I a child? Do you have to be so careful? Ha, dear Mr. Bikart, you should leave. Hurry up, don't delay on the road.

Our hind legs, otherwise." Beamon licked the tip of his iron rod ferociously, and made a gesture with his big hand to punch Bikart on the head. Bikart was so frightened that he trembled all over and screamed,

He curled up on the ground and closed his little eyes in fear.

Rockart and Inger spit on Bicart's head at the same time, shook their heads, and cursed in a low voice. After counting the 20,000 soldiers on the hour, they walked toward the green leaves in the dense forest two thousand feet in front of Lei's defense line.

The castle rushed over. They were confident that Lei would not send his army into the dense forest for the time being. After all, fighting in the jungle was Rokart's specialty. Although the Vant soldiers were extremely fierce, their combat effectiveness was still a little better than fighting on the plains.

Discounted.

After watching Tianlei's defense line for a long time, Beamon led the remaining soldiers towards the Thunder God Mountain Range. He muttered: "Damn it, if you are going to attack the Fante people, why don't you bring more people? Just 20,000 people."

How many people can I kill? However, don’t call Beamon a fool. There are too many people, and he will be easily discovered by the Vant people... Damn it, why is it raining? How can we go on the road like this? "Tian Tian.

The black smoke in the sky had been replaced by gloomy clouds, and a trace of rain fell gently, and soon turned into dense raindrops the size of soybeans.

The Dark Prison Forest suddenly became muddy, and the fallen leaves that had accumulated over the years were soaked in the mud, emitting a strange smell. When Rokart and the others stepped on the fallen leaves, they all felt like they were using up no strength.

But they could only insist on moving forward. Their family must be cherished, and they must find out how many enemies there are in the direction of Greenleaf Castle.

Inger looked at the leather armor on those soldiers with some worry, and shook his head helplessly. Even leather armor soaked in grease would soften in such weather, and then lose most of its defense, right? So what?
To be continued...
