In the evening,

The slanting sun of the Elmira Pass shone on the gorge full of rocks, dragging out a long strange shadow, the undulating mountains reflected in the golden sunset, and the wild flowers in the mountains, accompanied by a rumbling sound of war horses' hooves, trembled on the semi-protruding rock wall.

The cold wind of the cracked valley howled and rushed into the corner in front of it, like hitting a huge wall and making a fierce whirring sound, turning in one direction and rushing out, bringing out a burst of hissing sounds,

The horse's hooves were flying, and the sweaty Varisian couldn't wait to jump up the slope of the mountain road in front of him, and the chaotic sound of the horses' hooves behind him trampled on the gravel, hitting the interconnected stone walls, making a crisp sound like a torrential rain

"Speed up, the whole army will quickly get through guò"

Crumpling the rough and improvised map of the mountain road in his hand, Varisian excitedly raised his horsewhip and shouted, as far as his eyes could see, 6,000 Falcon Hussars brought up a cloud of smoke and dust, and under the golden sunset, like a huge steel rolling dragon, it gushed out from the narrow road of the mountain pass, and the sunset was like blood, shining on the faces of the Falcon Hussars like a heavy release, dyeing the light chain mail on their bodies with a rolling blush

At the end of the huge mountain road is a huge exit about 20 meters wide.

Like the huge fangs of a beast, facing a meadow of emerald color, there is the exit of the Amira Mountain Road that I have been looking for for a day, and outside the scene of the mountains and rocks, a beautiful scenery, full of emerald undulating plains suddenly appeared in front of everyone, bringing people a feeling of great cheerfulness

Prais, who was following the group, stopped his horse at the pass. looked at the vast land in front of him with some emotion,

It was a beautiful forest area, shaded by dense alders and white birch trees, the wind howling through the plains, the desolate and bleak roads of the wilderness, and the endless emerald earth around it, like a carpet of gorgeous meadows stretching into the distant sky

This beautiful land gave him an inexplicable feeling of sadness, once upon a time, this was the country that he had made a vow to protect rather than give up his life.

But now, the protector has become an aggressor, and he is getting farther and farther away from that ideal road, leaving Ruierdian and taking refuge in the Falcon Dynasty, will such a move be left behind for thousands of years? Or will it be passed on in the name of a generation of capable ministers?

But Prais knows that the road is tortuous, but it must be taken,

Parabun is no longer able to fulfill its original promise to protect the people, and sooner or later the civil war for power will bring the whole country to an end, and millions of people in Raldian will also be in trouble

Even if they are burdened with stigma, they must carry out the oath they have guarded for hundreds of years, and the dark aristocracy has never been loyal to the king, but to the people of Raldian, a group of people who bear the elite consciousness of the aristocracy, and even in the face of darkness, they must bear the responsibility

The only person who can now put an end to the turmoil and restore peace to Ryordian is the falcon who is high on the throne of the north, which is the general trend and the reason why Prais finally decided to take refuge

Having rushed 5 miles out of the pass, Varisian ordered to rest on the spot, and then sent a squadron of cavalry back along the mountain road to lead the way for the Falcon army, which had set out two days later.

The sky was overcast, a drizzle was falling in the sky, and the raindrops hit the roof of the military tent, making a rustling sound, and the tent where the lights shone was filled with a pale yellow halo,

Varisian looked at the map hanging behind him with some headache by the torch on the pillar of the tent, and at the military meeting, His Majesty the Falcon was extremely strict with this sortie, even to the point of unreasonableness,

"My lord, Adjutant Prais has arrived" At this time, the voice of the guards outside the door came from the sound of the guards,

"Please come in" Varisien looked up from the map with a sad face, just in time to see the lieutenant in the rain cloak open the tent door,

The young man who had been sent was gone, presumably taken in by Prais in the rear army, and from Prais so actively coming, it could be seen that his kindness had been recognized by the other party

Varisien quickly got up from his seat and saluted Prais,

"This time, if it weren't for the help of the adults to get the map of the mountain road, our army might have to turn around on the mountain road for a day, delaying the fighter plane of His Majesty's army going south, even if he has military exploits, according to the temper of His Majesty Falcon, he will definitely slash me in front of the more than 100,000 troops with high fighting spirits, so as to stabilize the floating military heart"...,

"This time, my lord saved my life, and please bow to Varisian," Varisian said with a grateful expression

Although he is a high-ranking and powerful corps commander, this is the adjutant commander of His Majesty Falcon, and he is also the nominal commander-in-chief of this assault.

Behind his 6,000 forward cavalry, the 15,000 infantry led by Prais was the main force of the attack, and the rest of his army would not be able to come together until tomorrow

"Everyone is a colleague, it's just a matter of raising your hands" Prais glanced at the tent, and asked with some confusion, "I want to ask, since you are out of the mountain pass, why the army has stagnated"

Varisian rolled up the map on the wall, walked towards Prais, and said with some hesitation, "This is also the reason why my subordinates sent someone to invite my lord, although we have passed the mountain pass, but our subordinates really don't know how to fight the first battle of our army out of the mountain pass, this battle is related to the success or failure of the entire southern battle, so it is really difficult for me to decide"

"Are you worried about who you should fight first?" Prais said in a light tone, he deserved to be a veteran of a hundred battles on the side of Rui Erdian, with his gaze, of course, he knew that the 6,000 cavalry under the command of Varisian were all first-class elites, and their riding skills were not inferior to the Kugit people in the northern steppe, in fact, more than half of them were Kujits,

Although there are 80,000 people in the southern aristocratic army, most of them are infantry with poor combat strength, and there is not enough mobile cavalry to contain the enemy, if you face a surprise attack of 6,000 cavalry, it only takes a few impacts, and it is more than enough for Varisian to break through the opponent's loose defensive line,

Since it has been indecisive for a long time, it is natural to worry about the target to attack first.

Thinking of which point should be attacked first at the meeting, His Majesty Falcon did not say it explicitly, but put forward a request that made people want to hit the wall, no matter who you hit, anyway, before the army went south to occupy the six cities, you must not let the slightest news get out, such a harsh request, no wonder it makes Varisian so embarrassed

"What Your Excellency Adjutant General said is that this time I am completely impossible" Varisian smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, spread his hands, and asked the guards to take down the map on the wall and spread it out on the table in front of the two,

Varisian pointed to the map and said, "Your Excellency, please look here, this is the city of Driss closest to our army's attack on the mountain pass, if we can't take it at the first time, the day after tomorrow the army will be dispatched, and it will definitely not be more than its eyes and ears."

Varisien's voice paused, and he said in a condensed voice, "According to the information obtained in advance, the person in charge of stationing here is the Reda Legion in the Southern Noble Army, which is a second-rate legion composed of thieves, robbers and outcasts who are excluded from the mainstream regular army, with poor weapons and equipment, and the combat effectiveness is almost equal to zero, and the only role may be to serve as cannon fodder,

Such an army with no status, in the name of defending the Elmira Pass, is in fact tantamount to exile in disguise, and the other party has placed it here, which seems absurd, but in fact it is an extremely powerful trap."

"Oh, the trap?" Staring at the position of Varysian's finger, Prais's pupils shrank and took a deep breath, it was Driss City, which was located less than 20 miles away from the Emira Pass, which was the closest point to the pass, and it was also the most cutting-edge position on the defensive line of the entire Southern Noble Army, just like an eye nailed to the Amira Pass, the slightest wind and grass would immediately transmit the news back, no wonder Varysian fell in love with this place at first sight, it was indeed the most threatening location

"The other side has almost no strength to fight, so it is the most troublesome" Varisian tapped his finger on the map and explained, "The so-called defense of this army is to quickly break and flee when our army is discovered, and bring back the news, 8,000 rout troops who fled in panic, including 1,500 light cavalry who come and go like the wind, such a group of stragglers who have no will to fight, once the battalion is bombed, if you want to intercept all the troops with the limited forces in my current hands, and not let a trace of rumor spread back to the upper echelons of the noble army." Easier said than done

"Well...... This is really a trouble" Proyce's face was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Varisian to think about it so carefully, no wonder he was able to ambush and kill the Eastern Court general Bogol Zamu, Varisien is very familiar with the grasp of the fighter and the state of the enemy and us on the battlefield, thinking that there is an opponent who will flee regardless of the wind as long as he sees the enemy,

With Prais's composure and frowning, he finally knew what Varisian was worried about, this time the first to go south was fast, but just out of the mountain pass, the news leaked, not only all the previous preparations were wasted, but also during the southward journey, he might encounter a two-sided attack from Paravon Kyoto,

Such a situation is tantamount to exposing the backs of more than 100,000 troops to the long sword of the Rui Erdian, and they will fall into the brink of destruction at any time.

After staring at the map for a while, Prais frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and said to himself, "If you want to prevent the news from getting out, you should just cut off the connection between the six cities and Kyoto, but there are more than a dozen roads connecting Kyoto from the six cities alone, even if you divide your troops and cut it off, it is difficult to ensure that it will not arouse the suspicion of Kyoto, this is the most critical place"

"Cut off contact?" Hearing the words from Prais's mouth, Varisian looked thoughtful for a moment, and then said with a happy face, "I know what to do"

"Oh, how?"

Prais looked at him with some confusion, just now he said that he wanted to cut off the connection between the six cities and Kyoto in one fell swoop, which was simply a tactical idea like a Arabian Night...... ，
