, Zhangpian was dark, and the rain poured down from the darkened sky, and the big system, the state sweet drops smashed on the ground strongly, and the yellow smoke and dust steamed up from the ground.

The sudden torrential rain made the Stian soldiers stationed at the Vatu Pass feel miserable, and clusters of soldiers in tattered clothes were driven by the heavy rain and ran out of the broken tents.

They were the peasant soldiers of the lords of the west. Unlike the well-armed regular army of Stien, it was impossible for the financially weak western lords to equip them with waterproof tents, and many of the soldiers' tents were patched together from ordinary strips of rotten cloth.

Not only was it waterproof, but many of them collapsed in large chunks during the torrential rain, injuring many of the Stian soldiers

The wind blew in from outside the tent, and the tongue whirred in the dozen braziers in the tent,

"What's going on outside?" Stian Tuxa withdrew his eyes from the map, raised his head with a displeased face, and below him, sat several flag commanders from the regular army of Stien's Western Quarters,

Stianttuxa's analysis was interrupted by a rumbling sound outside, and he ordered one of the captains of the guards standing inside the tent, "Visa! Take a hundred law enforcement teams, these untouchables are too noisy! We can't count on those waste lords! They need someone to teach them what it means to obey military discipline and the consequences of disobeying the commander!"

"Yes, my lord!" the captain of the guard nodded in response, and bowed respectfully to exit the tent,

Soon there was a sound of horses' hooves kicking outside the tent, iron armor glistened in the rain, and hundreds of heavily armored black knights, led by the captain of the guard, quickly disappeared into the darkness.

This is the family's law enforcement team, composed of the most loyal family servants, and is the most combat-ready unit of the Stien family. The Guardsmen of the family.

"Your Excellency. These peasants are our biggest hidden danger!" a flag commander withdrew his gaze from outside the tent. With a little disdain on his face, he said in a low voice

"I don't think these combat-ready untouchables will not help us at all, but will be counterproductive at critical moments. If it was an ordinary war, it would have been forgotten, but this time we were facing Samar, and everyone had seen what happened during the day, and the 20,000 peasant soldiers could not even defeat the opponent's treacherous hoplites, which was really a shame for our glorious Stienne army!"

"Oh, then what do you think we should do. If you hand over the right flank to your Ninth Banner Regiment, can you guarantee a firm hold?" said Stianttuxa with a cold expression, he knew that because of the previous series of defeats, these unruly family generals had a lot of opinions about him"

Stiant Tuxa's words caused a silence in the tent, and the daytime battle was a great stimulus to the entire Stitian army, although the Stitian generals were tough in their mouths, in fact, everyone knew,

Not only was it defeated during the day. And it was a fiasco, even if he led the regular troops, he might not be able to stop the launched Samore army formation, and no one was stupid enough to send him to death,

The continuous superposition of the three-layer gun array is simply a moving killing machine, and everyone can see it. Those are veterans who have been in battle for a long time, exquisite skills and a steady mentality. Let them be the most formidable enemies on the battlefield, and their indomitable momentum and strong belief in victory are enough for them to dare to impact any opponent,

What's more, the commander-in-chief of the other party is the Southern Falcon, who has swept through the entire kingdom and has never been defeated. 2,000 to 20,000, this disparity in numbers, has clearly proved that the sharp claws of this falcon are so sharp!

In the face of a tenfold enemy, he still dared to command a small elite force, which was enough to force through the right flank of the Stienne army with its extremely sharp assault gun array.

This not only did the trap carefully arranged by the Stian army not work, but also put in more than 3,000 people, although it was only some insignificant lowly peasant soldiers, but the bravery of the Samorian army has been deeply penetrated, and the hearts of the Stian generals present here,

"Actually, these lords are not useless! at least they can drain the Samars' spirit," the other general stood up with an embarrassed face, his fingers drawing a long line along the map of the long table in the middle

"The Vatu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially the canyon passage to our rear, which belongs to the rear of the front line, and basically will not be attacked by the enemy, we can hand over this section of defense to these lords, so that we can replace the elite troops stationed in the rear!"

"Hehe! This is a good building, I think those peasants will still throw stones down the mountain!" the words of the general Stien caused a burst of discussion in the tent,

"Bump" Everyone suddenly heard the roar of the peasants and soldiers outside, mixed with the rumbling of the collapse of the tent, the sound of swords colliding, and the neighing and screaming of war horses.

This chaos lasted for a while, and then fell into a dead silence, so quiet that you could even hear the sound of the rain outside.

The army of tens of thousands of people camped, and such a calm seemed particularly strange

The generals looked at each other with strange expressions, but no one spoke, and all eyes were fixed on the commander-in-chief, Stianttuxa

"Winnfitt is right! I think it can be done this way" Stianttuxa's face was calm and terrifying, and he talked to the generals in the tent, as if he didn't notice the changes outside, "Stomble!" There was a sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, and the captain of the guard, Visa, who had just left the tent. A dark red man walked in from the outside. The iron armor on his body was washed by the rain,

Large dark red patches were irregularly distributed on it, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was the original color or dyed later, and the rain dripped down the cleats to the ground, forming a dark red water line

Captain Visa, the captain of the guard, came to Stianttuxa, bent down respectfully, and said, "My lord, all the rioters have been executed!

"Well, go down first!" Stiantuxa waved his hand at Visa, his expression calm, and the muscles on his face didn't even shake for a moment, as if the person who had just been executed was not a living person, but just a simple number

"It is said that it was Young Master Stianttuxa who personally ordered the burning of the entire Kyoto!" The generals didn't believe this rumor before, but now, this rumor has become much more true in the minds of the generals.

"Crazy!" this thought made these Stian generals come out of their mouths, and the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people!

Prosperous Kyoto, the heart of the entire kingdom burned into a sea of ruins,

Such a crazy thing is not really a crazy person who can't do it

Out of the corner of his eye, Stianttuxa could take in the faces of the generals below. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth,

He knew that the previous series of defeats in the battle situation had made these temporarily summoned western generals look down on him in their hearts, and the battle situation had reached the most critical moment, and he would never allow any doubtful voices

He needs some special means to gather people's hearts and kill chickens and police monkeys, which seems to be good now, and he believes that no one will dare to question his decision now

Stian Tuksa pointed to the map, his finger tapped the table fiercely, and said in a solemn voice, "I originally thought that the Samor army would storm the gorge, and deliberately distributed the fifth and seventh elite flag regiments on both sides of the gorge passage, and now it seems that the Samars on the opposite side have seen through our arrangement, starting tomorrow, you two flag map evacuation channels are responsible for the forward defense, and I will arrange for other lords to take over your defense"

"But my lord, the passage of the gorge is related to the whole battle situation, and we are still ......" An old and serious general was still not at ease with this arrangement, and just got up from his seat. was pulled by the corner of his clothes by his companions, which made his words have to be interrupted,

"Do you want to die! Is it really for the untouchables to see the heads on the flagpole?" the general who grabbed him whispered beside him, which made the general stricken, and he could vaguely see a long string of spherical objects fluttering on the flagpole of the military flag standing outside

For the general's words, Stianttuxa pretended not to hear, still looked at the map with his head down, and after a while raised his head, at this moment, all the generals sat honestly in their seats, and no one raised any objections

"Guys, do you have any problems with this arrangement?" asked Stiantuxa knowingly, his face gloomy as the sky outside

"No! Your Excellency's decision is our will!" General Stian looked at each other and nodded in response, everyone is not stupid, the commander's meaning is already so obvious, why should he insist on it and be bored.

The sky gradually brightened up in this embarrassment, and a white line was revealed in the eastern sky, I don't know if it was because of the heavy rain or some other reason, in the morning, the Samor army never sent troops to test the mountain, which made Stian Tuxa breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that the Samorian falcon is not an omnipotent god, and the sudden rainstorm caught the famous kingdom god of war off guard,,

But soon, Stianttuxa couldn't laugh anymore,

Yesterday's heavy rain washed away the bare rocks, and on the slopes that were not protected by trees, gravel, mud and sand, mixed with muddy currents leaked down from the higher mountain tops, and the camps stationed in the mountains were constantly hit by muddy currents of one kind or another, and the tents of the camps were washed away, and the ground became muddy and difficult to walk on in the heavy rain.

The armor of many of the Stitian soldiers was soaked in the heavy rain and blown by the howling mountain wind. The cold only shivered, and there was a lack of enough fire and herbs to cure the cold in the army, and many soldiers fell ill because of the cold.

On both sides of the mountain road near the mouth of the gorge, a large pile of rubble, which was already loose, was washed away and collapsed by the current at the top of the mountain. Like a tumbling mud dragon, gushing down from the top of the mountain, the rocks rolled, and even the trees that were deeply coiled in the cliff wall were wrapped in, and the brown roots were mixed with human corpses, faintly visible in the mud

It was night, and many soldiers were resting in their tents, and Stian Tuxa went to see it, and it was a disaster, and with a simple count, more than a thousand people were drowned in rubble and mud, and more than 2,000 were injured.

The sound of the rain made Stiantuxa feel a wave of fear in his heart, and the heavy rain did not stop at all, and the black rain clouds in the sky did not decrease, but gathered more and more. It's like a pile of straw piled up layer by layer,

Silver lightning bolts pierced through the inside, struggling forward. A striking, striking, flashing of light, and then being swallowed up by the black sky again, was evident to everyone that an even greater storm was gathering

"Damn rainy season" this time it's Stiantuxa's turn to have a headache. In order to defend against the fire attack of the Samar army, which was famous throughout the kingdom, the Stitian army cut down the dense pine forests and shrubs of the mountain pass. The hill slide, which has lost its trees, has now become a battlefield where a lot of mud and sand are raging. The turbid yellow currents crashed against each other and washed down from the top of the mountain, and even Stianttuxa himself was splashed, and he had to use his ornate armor to travel deep and shallow on the muddy road

In one night, almost 4,000 people were lost, and the casualties even exceeded the frontal battle the day before, which was tantamount to pouring salt on the extremely unfavorable wounds of the Stitian army,

Stianttuksa finally knew why the Samorish army was so quiet today. The Samorish falcon on the other side clearly knew the effect of the heavy rain on him, and he was waiting. The moment your army is completely destroyed by this torrential rain! Legend has it that the Samour Falcon is the darling of the gods and the patron of the gods of victory. The falcon's talons never miss!

"I won't lose! If the gods help you, I'll cut off even the gods" Stiantuksa looked back at his subordinates covered in mud and at the family elite who had suffered heavy casualties. In the rain in the distance. Large white tents loomed in it, especially the huge falcon battle flag, fluttering in the white rain with the wind, and the appearance of teeth and claws, as if it had come to life

"It's really a stubborn little guy on the other side!" the fat man looked at the washed away mess of the Jiangtou camp, and a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth, he could fully imagine the bitterness and wolf bèi of the Stienne army on the other side,

This time, the fat man rode not a Supor war horse for the Samar cavalry, but a more precious Suna ente horse. The mane of this horse is particularly lush and small, just like a scarf around the horse's neck, which looks particularly noble, and is one of the nobles' favorite collection of war horses.

If the Supor horse is a knight among war horses, then Suna Entma is a nobleman among war horses, considered the most elegant and noble horse breed, with the energetic armor of the fat man. In the flying rain curtain, there is really a bit of a feeling of elegance and ease.

This was specially sent from the Jones family a few days ago, it was the fat man's fiancée, and Sister Jones Nelly personally set a war horse for her personal character.

She will arrive at the fat man's barracks in four days as the new patriarch of the Jones family. We will discuss the reorganization of the Kyoto United Chamber of Commerce by the Jones family, and of course Kyoto this time. No longer the Chrystoin it used to be. Rather, the new center of Vecchia "Zhivadin"

For this request, the fat man could not refuse, and nominally, Jones Nelly was still the lord of Zhivadine. For the Jones family to be so urgent to show their own influence, the fat man can also understand.

The shape is stronger than people, especially the civil strife of the Jones family this time, so that the old Jones fox, who has always been arrogant, can see one thing clearly, the army is the ultimate voice of this kingdom, and the biggest power of the kingdom now is Samore, the territory extends from the south to the north, commercial changes and preferential trade policies, so that the rapid expansion of Samore's influence,,

Countless businessmen from all over the continent flocked to the south of Vekia. The population and industrial base of the south is becoming stronger and stronger, in March, the commercial alliance and the southern overlord Rude signed a trade agreement, after promising to pay an annual toll of 100,000 gold coins, the kingdom of Roude, which has common interests with Samor, opened its own commercial river to Samor, which virtually doubled the scope of the commercial alliance, and more than 100,000 merchants joined the commercial alliance

The bustling southern Zhivading people crossed the 600,000 mark in the May report, surpassing the heyday of the previous kingdom of Krysdor, Kyoto.

On the rich Zhivading Plain, there is an endless stream of merchant wagons and transport cargo ships, and the new center of the Kingdom of Vekia has been formed, as the previous southern overlord was just a vulgar warrior with the name of the governor, and now the fat man of Samore is already synonymous with dignity and the new king of Vecchia,

The entire continent, except for a few northern forces led by Miaoerdian, other kingdoms only recognize Samore as the representative of Vecchia, for the northern Stien, more Vycians call him "Sleeping King Cusai" This is in the Wekian language, with an obvious derogatory connotation, in order to satirize the despicable actions of this northern hero in the Kugit War and the shame of relying on the Rydianians!

If the Jones family does not want to miss a rare opportunity for development because of their arrogance, then they must abandon the previous attitude of equal cooperation and truly become a big branch under the influence of Samor, and Jones Nelly will personally step in. It represents a shift in the philosophy of the Jones family

"My lord, should we consider the three conditions of the Mamo family," Lidarchus, who accompanied him, whispered in the fat man's ear, "There is nothing wrong with the first two requests for trade and the formation of caravans with each other, but they ask us to send troops to help the Mamo family stabilize the west, I don't think it will be good for my Samor." A divided west is what we need the most, we can completely select a few agents from the many families in the west, this can achieve the purpose of dispersing the power of the west, the Maomo family is too strong, we may not be able to control it!"

"Scattered West!" the fat man seemed to disagree with Lidakus's words, and retracted his gaze from the distant mountain pass, and the whip in his hand gently patted the war horse under his crotch. He asked rhetorically, "Do you think those families can do it, Altay, Festo, or the Vic family who smuggle arms, if I want the caravan you guarantee to pass through the west safely, which of them do you think it can?"

"This

Lidakus's face was pale, and he was a little panicked in his heart, the few families mentioned by the fat man were all families related to the Lida family, and they were important partners in business, and the fat man pointed out these families in person, and the warning was too obvious.

Lidarchus himself is well aware. Although these families are close to the Lida family, they do not have the prestige of the Maomo family, not to mention ruling the entire west, that is, their territory is rampant with bandits, and it is a mess, so that these families become agents of the west, that is a disaster

"You go and reply to them!" the fat man raised his horsewhip and pointed to the mountains in the distance, "I can agree to three conditions, but I also have three conditions, first, the business alliance must set up a branch in the west, and second, the west must claim to be part of Vecchia!"

"Third!" The fat man looked at Lidakus, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "If you want me to send troops to Samor, you need to pay a price, and I don't want to lose thousands of military expenses at a young age!"

"Falling Wan!" Lidakus's eyes were bulging, he almost didn't fall off his horse, the dead fat man was crazy about money, what the west was like, everyone knew it, he relied on so little fur income every year, and he had to feed so many people, even if he was the dominant Maomo family in the west. It is estimated that the maximum amount of money in a year will be the benefit of 10,000 gold coins, "Falling 10,000 gold coins, you can't let the Mao Mo family sell their family money, "Yes! Falling 10,000!" The fat man nodded affirmatively and said, "One point can't be less, if not." Then use that woman named Mao Mona Qing as collateral."

"I see!" Lidarchus's face was stunned, and a pair of eyes grunted on the face of the dead fat man, although the dead fat man was lustful and recognized money, he had never heard of a fetish for taking women as collateral, and it was at the moment when the fiancée of the Jones family was about to arrive,

It can't be some kind of "internal struggle", think of it. Lidarchus, who has always been cautious and timid, couldn't help but shrink his head, this kind of complicated struggle of the monarch's own family is a "mess" that has not even been bone-bound

Thinking about the bloody incidents of the royal family in the past dynasties, Lidarchus, who had been full of the secret files of the royal family of Ruierdian, did not dare to say anything anymore, but just looked at the fat man with a pair of pitiful little eyes to show that he was "completely unaware"

"What do you think!" The fat man saw Lidakus looking at him with a pair of ** eyes, and slapped Lidakus hard, and scolded in his mouth, "I think that woman is not simple, and she is in the west." I'm not at ease!"

"My lord is really wise, this woman is the pearl of the Mao Mo family, and this time she can play such an important role in the secret mission, it seems that Mao Mo Dayin attaches great importance to her. Even more than the Mau Moravant, who served as the patriarch," Lidakus nodded with a smirk, looked at the fat man's back, and couldn't help but crook his mouth, "There is such a big beauty in the west." As long as it's a normal man. I guess I'm not at ease!"
