On the official road north of Twak City, the dense marching procession was a little abrupt against the snow on both sides of the road... This is the marching contingent of the 17th Banner Regiment of the Orcs and the 2nd Legion of the Gondwak Kingdom.

After listening to Nishizawa Dewen's advice, Overseer Pereth had his staff work on the map more than ten times, and finally decided to capture the Corwey Woodland line first in order to retake Fort Tulbuk.

On the night of the capture of Twak, Overseer Perrys ordered his troops to move.

Because Pereth's intelligence officer told him that Twak had no enemy troops in the Covey Woodlands who could threaten him except for the Imperial troops in the Covey Woodlands, the Old Overseer did not keep the purpose of his march secret in order to ensure the speed of the army's march, or in other words, the Old Overseer preferred that the Imperial troops in the Covey Woodlands Defense Area would take the initiative to withdraw from the defense area in advance after hearing the news of his advance.

Perreth doesn't want another tough battle, he needs to save his strength and fight Shikan.

On the grassland snow on the side of the marching column, Perris and his staff stopped on a high ground and watched the narrow queue, the old Overseer looked at the rapidly advancing procession and pondered for a long time, and then suddenly asked the commander of the Ximuk Banner behind him, "Have all the scouts sent in the direction of Bolenburg left?"

Although Pereth's intelligence officer repeatedly assured him of the safety of the army along the way, a cautious old Overseer sent out scouts as was customary, and sent twice as many scouts as usual.

As a veteran, Pereth's instinctive instinct reminds him that something has gone strangely lately... This strange feeling had been in Pereth's mind since the capture of Fort Tulbuk, but he still hadn't figured out what the strange point was.

Hearing his boss's question, Simuk immediately took two steps forward and replied, "Of course, I sent two whole squadrons of scouts. After a pause, he continued, "With all due respect, my lord... Is Twake City really going to that human?"

"Nishizawa-Dewen?" Pereth seemed to be responding to Simuk's question, as if talking to herself.

"Our Seventeenth Banner Regiment is almost entirely deployed, and now there are only 3,000 human infantry in Tkava. Simuk stepped forward and took a small step, he was now almost parallel to Pereth, and when Pereth's gaze swept over, he continued: "If Nishizawa-Dewn betrays us, then we will lose the whole war. ”

After a pause of two seconds after hearing this, Perris said, "It is impossible for the Human Empire to accept Nishizawa Devin again, if he dares to appear at the banquet of the nobles of the Human Empire, then he will definitely die in a certain dueling arena." ”

"But Nishizawa Devon can't just choose the Human Empire!" Simuk's voice couldn't help but raise slightly, "If he throws himself at Shikan, it will be worse for us than to throw himself into the Empire." ”

"Shikan?" Pereth's crimson anger flashed when he heard the name, and then he lowered his head and muttered for a moment before he asked, "Where is Nishizawa Dewen?"

Simuk hurriedly replied, "They should be twenty miles longer than we are, and if you summon him, he will appear in front of you in an hour at most." ”

"No, I don't. Pereth refused so decisively that he didn't react, and he waved his hand when he was stunned, "You should go and stay with the warriors now." ”

Ximuk reacted suddenly, and he ordered you to continue to persuade: "My lord..."

But Pereth ignored Simuk, and after he finished speaking, he led the members of the staff team away quickly.

Half an hour later,

In the name of the High Command, Pereth issued a warrant to Nishizawa Devin appointing Nishizawa Devin and his son as senior military advisers to the High Command, and ordering them to take up their posts at the High Command immediately.

An hour later,

It was dawn, and the time was 8 o'clock in the morning on November 16.

The herald sent by Pereth to deliver the order to Nishizawa-Dewen's headquarters brought back news that Nishizawa-Dewen and his son would be coming to meet with the headquarters this evening.

After looking at Nishizawa Dewen's handwritten letter, Perris slept soundly on his mount.

Two o'clock in the afternoon,

As soon as Pereth woke up, he received detailed information from his intelligence officer about the Central Empire.

The day before yesterday, on the morning of November 14,

A legion of the nobles and merchants of the Middle Empire assembled at Fort Iruk succeeded in capturing the town of Tyre, and on the afternoon of the 15th, they encountered the Third Imperial Army reinforcing the city of Suk at a place called Dirot in the south of the town of Hattis.

The two sides fought until dark, and the Third Legion retreated to the town of Hatith, and the army formed by the merchants unexpectedly gained the power of the war and succeeded in capturing the village of Dirot.

Along with the intelligence of the Central Empire, there was also news from the defenders in the direction of Sharptown, bad news... The Orcs in the direction of Klan are gathering their forces in the village of Melosi, northwest of Sharp Town.

But Pereth didn't panic, he asked his staff, "How many days do we have?"

The members of the staff team gave the answer after nearly ten minutes of deduction: "It will not take more than five days at most." Then, the staff told Pereth: "Five days, on the premise that there are enough defenders in Sharptown." ”

The problem is, there are less than three thousand human defenders in Sharp Town right now!

After hearing the words of the staff group, Perres asked an irrelevant question: "Hasn't Nishizawa-Dewen arrived yet?"

A few seconds later, a soldier on guard in the distance came running and returned: "Not yet!"

Pereth immediately roared, "Send someone to urge, I need to see him in an hour, see Nishizawa Dewen." ”

Soon, the two heralds left with the command flag at great speed.

An hour later,

Nishizawa Devin didn't wait, but the flag commander of the 17th Banner Regiment, Simuk, suddenly found Pereth.

"I hope you have good news. Pereth said before Simuk could speak.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Simuk stubbornly said, "None of the two squadron scouts I sent out have returned so far, and this is beyond the scheduled time. ”

"How long?"

"More than twelve hours!"

"Why didn't you report earlier?" Pereth's face changed for the first time.

Ximuke lowered his head: "I personally took people to inspect the nearby area, and it took some time. ”

"Oh, orcs, you idiot. Peris wanted to tear Tin Muk apart at this moment, and then he shouted to the people beside him, "Isn't Nishizawa Devon here yet?"

No one answered him.

As he was about to ask again, a wolf cavalry scout galloped in.

"For the sake of the beast god, let him in!" Just as the soldiers were about to stop the scout, Perry's thunderous voice suddenly sounded.

"Overseer, it's an enemy attack!" the wolf cavalry scout suppressed his voice, "the cavalry, the boundless cavalry, is in the northeast, and is now coming to our side. ”

"How many are there?"

"How long will it take?"

Pereth and Simuk both asked at the same time.

"At least two legions, they will arrive in an hour!"
