On 8 November, four days after Fort Thurbuk was conquered, temperatures were colder and snow fell heavier in the Covey woodlands.

Fortunately, the continuous cold prevention measures introduced by the command effectively suppressed the problem of sudden temperature drops, coupled with the arrival of the magic brigade and the paladin squadron, so that the frostbitten soldiers received the most effective treatment.

Four days ago, in order to gather the morale of the troops and let the soldiers feel Pedi's determination, the front command post was moved to the forefront of the Cove woodland defense line, and at the same time, the new snow tactical training plan formulated by the command was also carried out under the leadership of Pedi himself.

At Hades' suggestion, Pedi stayed with the soldiers every day these days, eating and living with them.

Pedi told his soldiers that he would be with them!

Now, although the collapsed morale has not improved because of Pedi's own efforts, it has effectively suppressed the wavering determination of the soldiers.

...

Today, the newly formed Scout Brigade of the Military Intelligence Department sent back the latest military report: the orc army outside Twak City has divided into two banner regiments and marched towards the Corvey glades, and its vanguard is expected to arrive on the morning of the 9th.

At the same time as the MI Scout Brigade sent back the report, the commander of the 11th Legion, Marquis Daisyri, also sent a letter informing Pedi that a banner regiment of orcs was retreating east of Twak City.

Marquis Daisiri asks Pedi if he wants to move closer to Twak City.

When Pedi received this information, Hades was present, and Pedi subconsciously asked his chief adviser: "Where should the Eleventh Legion be placed?"

"My lord, almost all of the orc armies are stuck in the city of Twak. Hades said, "The orcs probably think they'll be able to take Twak City soon, so we'd better not try to change the orcs' minds... Because once the orcs feel that Twak City cannot be captured in a short time, then on the premise of losing Thurbuk Fort, it is very likely that they will decisively abandon Twak City and storm our defenses. ”

"So, what about your opinion?" Pedi made a decision, but he didn't break it.

"Our southeastern line needs to be manned, and that's our last retreat. Hades had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I think the people in the staff office will agree to this plan." ”

Pedi smiled coldly after Hades finished speaking and said, "In the name of the General Staff, give the 11th Regiment an order to move to the southwest of the Cove Glade to garrison. ”

"I'm afraid that Marquis Daisiri won't care about orders from the General Staff. ”

Pei Di's tone suddenly turned cold: "This is your problem, understand?"

"I see, sir. Hades immediately bowed in agreement.

...

In the evening, as soon as Pedi had finished his meal in the army, Hu Cong Beze brought him a letter from home.

It was a letter from her mother, Saviara, whose party was trapped in the Kumar Fortress, in the words of the commander of the Kumar Fortress, Lieutenant General Yuhir: The nobles of the Sukh Plains are gathering their armies, and now that the entire Central Empire is in disarray, it is better not to set foot in the Suk Plains if you don't want to be kidnapped by some careerist.

The exhaustion of Pedy's whole body dissipated in an instant from his mother's letter, and a terrible conjecture suddenly enveloped his heartache, and he forcibly suppressed his conjecture and continued to look down.

Ten minutes later,

Pedi returned to the conference room of his forward command post and had the Military Intelligence Chief Baron Danmen and Don Wright Paladins fetched.

Half an hour later,

Baron Danmen and Don Wright did not arrive, but Pei Di waited for another letter from the imperial capital.

It was a handwritten letter from his sister Penny.

A letter that was very unexpected for Pedi.

He opened the letter.

The handwriting is very beautiful, it is Penny's handwriting.

The letter reads:

My dear brother, you must have been in the Twak Territory when you received this letter from me, and I don't know anything about the battlefield, so I can only wish you the protection of the Goddess.

I'm married, you should have gotten the news a long time ago.

The wedding was in a hurry, and it was different from what I imagined.

While I'm well aware that you're fighting the orcs right now, I still want to see you at my wedding, along with my mother, father, and Phyllis.

The truth is, none of my relatives were present at my wedding.

I was very sad, but then I received a letter from my mother, saying that she had come back to see me in the imperial capital, and I was so excited, that it was probably the only comfort I could get.

I miss you so much, I miss you all the time.

These days, I often think back to when we were children, and those vague memories are always fascinating.

Sinda has changed,

Yes, he has changed, his open-mindedness is as disgusting as the envy of the opera after taking the scepter, and he doesn't even believe me, though I know why he doesn't believe me, he's doubting Father, he's doubting you, because you now have the most powerful army in the entire empire in your hands.

But I still can't let go, because Zinda is now my husband!

My husband is suspecting that I will betray him!

When I see Zinda I sometimes think, I will change too.

I don't know when I'm going to change, maybe when I have the blood of the Danediv family, I'll become like Sinda, and I'll doubt my real father, and I doubt you.

These thoughts now no longer bother me, and I am scared.

It was as if I could see our shadow in the quarrel between Empress Despert and Duke Eric, and I was afraid that I would become what Empress Despert was, and that my dear brother would become Duke Epert as he was.

I'm sorry, dear brother.

This is the first letter I have written to you, but I have written something that makes people feel depressed after reading it. But I want you to see that, because I want you to know how I'm feeling right now.

The tension between the merchants and nobles of the empire had reached an irreconcilable level, and Sindar and his advisors had illusions that their father's army would be able to intimidate them.

But I think the civil war will break out soon!

I mean, the merchants might raise an army to attack Suk City! Don't doubt the strength of the merchants, the empire's 200,000 troops are now almost all supported by them.

Therefore, once the merchants decided to rebel against the rule of the Empire, it would be a catastrophe for the entire Central Empire.

First of all, the supply and salary of the empire's 200,000 army will be completely cut off, and then, the merchants will desperately raise prices, and at that time, the citizens of the imperial capital will not even be able to afford a piece of black bread!

What a terrible thing to do.

I've been dreaming for the past two days and I've been waking up to some terrible scenes!

However, the nobles of the empire could not see this, nor could Sinda and the people around him, they all stood too high and saw too far.

So, my dear brother, whether it's for the sake of the Reagan family or for the Empire, please end the war in the Twak Territory as soon as possible, the real test has just begun.

...

Pedi looked silently at Penny's letter to him, which he read twice, and then fell into a long period of deep thought, not even noticing that Baron Danmen and Don Wright had entered the room.

"Your Excellency. Baron Danmen's voice woke Pedi from his contemplation.

Pei Di looked at Baron Danmen with some displeasure, and just as he was about to reprimand the other party, he suddenly remembered that he had come to him.

"Sit down. Pei Di casually pointed to the simple wooden chair beside him, "It seems that something has happened in the imperial capital recently, is there any news coming back?"

"Yes!" Baron Danmen replied quickly, glancing at Don Wright, "five days ago..."

Baron Danmen was obviously prepared, and he answered Pedi's question smoothly, and after Baron Danmen finished speaking, Pedi asked, "Do you have the latest information?"

"The merchants of the Empire have taken control of a large area from the town of Tyre to Fort Iruk. This time it was Don Wright who replied, "They have even gathered nearly a legion of soldiers. ”

"Yes. Baron Danmen followed suit.

"Well—" Pedi scratched his short beard, which had grown longer and longer from the past few days of training, and he tickled more and more, but his mind was thinking quickly.

Two minutes later, Pedi looked at Don Wright, "Send your men to Kumar Fortress to protect my mother, and in addition, I will have Earl's Fourth Legion send a regiment to Kumar Fortress, and your men will be responsible for the intelligence work of this corps." ”

Baron Danmen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "My lord, Kumar Fortress belongs to the Central Empire, and the garrison is under the unified jurisdiction of the military department, we..."

Peddy glanced at Baron Danmen and interrupted him, "My mother is now trapped in the Kumar Fortress, she is going to the imperial capital to attend my sister's wedding, and a regiment of soldiers is just to protect my mother from reaching the imperial capital without any problems. ”()
