Volume 1 Once Upon a Time in the South Chapter 59 On the Eve of the Great War

The King's Study on the third floor of the main watchtower of Yiling Bernerburg.

"What happened yesterday, how could a good one catch fire?" asked King Kelman, looking at the information in his hand without raising his head. He had heard of the fire in the camp yesterday evening. Fortunately, the flames were only seen at that time, and the momentum was contained, and there were no casualties, but half of the cart was burned. Therefore, after the incident, Kelman did not rush to summon Fei Li, who was in charge of the affairs of the military camp, to interrogate, let alone deal with the matter in person. It was only when Count Philip came today that he asked in passing, he didn't want a tense atmosphere to spread in the army at this time.

"Several knights of the Royal Knights, without distinguishing between high and low, started fighting. Count Philip replied.

"What? When did our Royal Knights become such a disorganized force? Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle, and you will make trouble for me? Have you dealt with those people?" asked Kelman in a cold voice.

"I've been expelled from the military. "But one or two officers were wounded by mistake while going to the rack." ”

"You mean you accidentally injured a superior officer?" Kelman was a little annoyed, "then dismissal is considered light, according to our temper back then, we have to hang them on the spot." ”

"It's also uncomfortable, after all, I haven't fought a battle on the front line. Philip explained.

"Isn't that tomorrow giving them a chance? "But don't say it, Ressa is a good man, and after so many days, I haven't seen any problems with his Maine Army." ”

"The Royal Knights, the Royal Guard, these troops haven't fought anyone for nearly twenty years, how many batches of soldiers have changed, how can they compare with those years. At present, there are only a few middle and high-ranking officers left who are still the same group of people who followed us in the war. Fei Lie said helplessly.

"yes, it's easy to get off a horse, but it's hard to get up again. Kelman sighed, "But you and I can't be old, and I don't plan to come to Maine empty-handed." ”

"Although I am also old, it is not a problem to go into battle for His Majesty. Philip replied with a smile.

"At the critical moment, it's still you, the old guy, who is the most powerful. Kelman said with a smile, opening the case file in his hand and placing the one-foot-square sand table on the countertop.

"Come, come and see, this is the formation I just arranged for tomorrow. ”

Kelman's formation didn't catch the Count's attention for long. Fei Lie quickly began to study the sand table. He found that the frame of the sand table was actually made from the finest gilt ore in Fuz Province, and from time to time there was a dull silver-gray light circulating on it. You must know that the ladies of Salyuch are most fond of jewelry inlaid with this gilded ore. Thinking that this thing must be the handiwork of the governor of Yuankang, it is really unsurpassed, and when it comes to luxury, there is really no one who can beat it, he thought.

It is estimated that Fei Lie will not understand that since it is something sent to the king, it naturally cannot be said to be overkill, but must be said to be "making the best use of things".

"If Yuan Kang saw the formation of troops on the sand table at this time, should he be happy, or should he kneel and beg His Majesty for mercy?" Fei Lie said sarcastically in his heart.

"What do you think?" asked Kelman, looking at Philet.

"Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, let's follow this. Philip replied.

After coming out of the king's study, the Count of Philip went straight back to his room on the second floor. By this time, Fetimus was already waiting for him inside.

"Drink water?" Philip glanced at Fetimo as he poured himself the kettle.

Fetimor shook his head.

"Shouldn't we give him that book?" asked Fetimor, looking out the window for no reason, "maybe it's better for him to have a dull life?"

Since his mother explained this, there was always a reason for her. Philip put down the crystal cup in his hand.

"Yes. Speaking of this, Fetimo sighed, "I'm just afraid, if you and I have a chance tomorrow, won't there be no one to take care of this child?"

"A child must grow up, and no one can care about him for the rest of his life. ”

"That's what I said. He's going to practice that sinister magic, and we're not going to be able to control him. Fetimor said with a deep groan.

"But their mercenary group, it's been a long time since I heard from them. Since the passage of the Iron Castle, the Ministry of War has not received any information from them. If you think these young people are going to the southern coastline. ”

"They won't be in Xituo City, will they?

"I have already sent someone to rescue a few days ago, and the leaders of Nanton and Qishan are both veterans, so it should be easy to kill those Tingxiao mercenaries. Philip comforted.

"It's a good thing that he's not here. Fetimo let out a sigh of relief.

"Why? do you think tomorrow's battle is dangerous?" asked Ferry, raising her eyes.

"Could it be that you feel the same way?" said Fetimo, a little surprised. In fact, from yesterday to the present, he has repeatedly interpreted the sentence that Fei Yue reminded him yesterday in his mind.

"I don't know, maybe I haven't fought for many years, and I'm a little scared. Philip shook his head.

"Not really. Back then, you were very fierce when you killed people. Fetimor smirked.

"Do you really think that people don't grow old?" said Ferret, looking at Fetimor with a sneer.

Fetimor smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Actually, I'm curious, could it be that the boy never suspected that the book was left by his mother?" said Fetimo after a moment's silence.

"He must have guessed a little. It's just that this kid hides everything in his heart and never wants to tell anyone. Over the years, he rarely asks about his mother. ”

"Why is that?" asked Fetimus.

"What's the reason for that. If I don't mention it, he won't ask. Fei Li said with a look of course.

Fetimor was stunned and didn't say anything more.

After the old friend who had known him for many years left, Fei Lie sat alone on the sofa, looking at the pendant in his hand.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Back then, you said that you didn't need a magic staff, so you removed the falling crystal of the staff and changed this pendant." I've been wearing this thing for so many years, and I've never used it, so I hope I won't use it this time. ”

As he spoke, the Count could not help but recall the past, of a certain wayward woman. Only now did he suddenly discover that those past events about her, those voices and smiles that passed by frame by frame, actually began to blur.

Memories are such wonderful things that even if you think about them every day, you will forget them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remote Sail Coastline, Missil County.

This area is the most poisoned area by the Tingxiao people, and more than a dozen castles of all sizes were ransacked by the Tingxiao mercenaries. Who would have thought that when these mercenaries were beaten away, they also burned down more than a dozen trestle bridges in the county, and the roads were also destroyed a lot.

At this time, the Royal Iron Cavalry and the Quartet mercenaries were repairing the road little by little. Along the way, the magicians of the mercenary group have already built three temporary trestle bridges, and they need to be given a rest. Thanks to Princess Onian, who was so merciful last night that these more than 5,000 people rested all night instead of traveling overnight, so that these people now have the strength to work.

"It's too slow, I don't know if I'll be able to make it to the Mallord Plains tomorrow morning. Keba said with a worried face.

"What's wrong with you today, it's abnormal. Alvin gave Keba a funny look. He wondered in his heart, Kaiba was also the most calm of the four young people, how could he look anxious today. And generally if you have work to do, this guy likes to shrink back and be lazy, which tendon is wrong today, and actively participates in the work of directing road repair.

"Hey, you can't work so hard for so long, and in the end you won't be able to catch up with tomorrow's conference battle. Keba explained, and then ran to the front to help the royal knights fill in the destroyed road.

"Do you regret not leaving the provincial road now, and being angry with the methods of these Tingxiao people?" Alvin teased when he saw O'Ann coming.

"Will you be able to reach the Mallord Plains tomorrow morning?" asked Oneen, spreading out the parchment map in her hand.

"I just don't know how many trestles and roads have been destroyed in front of me, and if this is the case along the way, it is estimated that it is a bit hanging. Alvin replied.

"It's better for me to meet these Tingxiao mercenaries!" said Onien, with a fierce look in her eyes.

Elle looked at her and felt that it was better to keep silent for the time being.

"By the way, I want to ask you something, why do I always feel that you don't care much about the outcome of this battle?" the princess asked, looking carefully at Alwin's face, "I haven't seen any curiosity about the situation at the front from the beginning of Saliushi's journey. ”

"I don't care anymore, I need to know that my dad is also on the front line. Alvin argued.

Onieen nodded perfunctorily, reluctantly accepting Alwin's answer.

"It's not something I can control, what's the use of me caring about it. He sighed inwardly.
