In the dim light, Prais, the Minister of Military Affairs of Raldian, put a copy of the urgent document in his hand on the table, and on a gloomy night, the wind hung outside, and the whimpering wind sounded like a dying person moaning,

"Pop" a torrential rain hit the furry glass window, sometimes separated by a period of deathly silence, the rainstorm made the whole Bellyanch Castle suffer, the trees swayed in pain, and bowed their heads sadly,

The torrential rain swept in, enveloping every qiē in the heavens and the earth in a raging storm. The candlelight in the crystal lampshade also swayed because of the wind that occasionally penetrated through the tiny cracks in the window. From time to time, lightning streaked across the sky and left a shocking arc of fire on the window, followed by a deafening thunderclap.

The rain washed over the castle's exterior walls like a spring, and on the mossy old roofs, among the scattered rubble, on the smooth stone steps, there was a tireless and monotonous tapping sound, and the white raindrops turned into crystal clear water, like a huge white curtain, enveloping the whole castle

This is an important stronghold in the south-central part of the Ribogen, the castle of Beryanch, which was once the residence of the famous Haast family with a century of glory, and was once occupied by the cavalry of the Eastern Court during the raid on Ribogen, but was abandoned in 10 days under the strong counterattack of the Ryordian army, and is now the headquarters of Prais

On Prais's desk was a large map, in which the blue of the Raldian and the red of the Eastern Court cavalry were intertwined, like a huge irregular arc, but it was obvious that the blue was squeezing the red range, like a heavy object, as if it wanted to completely crush the red bar,

There is also a black line staring at the distant border, it is the army of the Falcon Dynasty who is quietly watching the changes, although there is a secret agreement of non-interference, but Prais, who has always not believed that the Vekia Falcon will keep his promise, still hopes that the black line can poke red from the back,

5,000,000 gold coins in exchange for a promise not to participate in the war, this is really a bit of a loss!But there is no way to do it, if the army of the Falcon Dynasty and the people of Dongting take advantage of the fire to loot, I am afraid that the entire Rui Erdian will quickly collapse

"Bang bang" There was a crisp knock outside the door,

Prais continued to focus on the map, bending over and drawing two diagonal lines along the staggered boundaries with the pen in his hand, as if trying to figure out something.

"Come in!"

He didn't reply that he would come to disturb him at this time, only the new lieutenant from Kyoto, Baron Rylac, was a young man full of energy,

A top student of the Department of Strategy of Parabun College, the heir of the wealthy Rirac family in Kyoto, any one of them is enough to become the envy of contemporary young people,

But this guy was obsessed with his daughter Pradi Elle, and took the initiative to ask to come to the front line to participate in the war, pass a certain way, and arrange to become his personal adjutant

The proverb "If you can get the girl's father to accept you, then you are half the battle" has a high sense of recognition among the young nobles of Raldian,

In this knightly society that pays attention to military merit and origin, getting a certain recommendation and having the opportunity to become an adjutant of a certain powerful person is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut.

Women always worship heroes, young adjutants, handsome and dashing appearance, prominent status, personable speech and demeanor, are enough to make those young girls who are still in love excited.

It's a pity, I don't know why, Prady Elle, who returned from Rimir, seems to be blind to this qiē, and often stares at the mangrove trees outside the window, which makes Prais feel a little sorry, and it can only be attributed to Prady Elle's lack of feelings for this young lieutenant

As the door opened, a young man with short hair and a straight military uniform walked in from the outside, his young face was full of heroic coldness,

Because they are rarely exposed to the scorching sun, their faces are a little falsely white, which is a characteristic of high nobles, and in Paraven, such people are called blue-blooded nobles, because the corners of their false white mouths can see blue blood vessels.

He first saluted the Minister of War, who was paying attention to the map, and then took out a document from his back, and said in a loud voice, "My lord, this is the report we just received, the torrential rain has washed away the four bridges on the east side of the Bora River, and Lord Tarui of the Fourth Legion and Lord Thadit of the Sixth Legion both think that it is no longer possible to move forward, and request to withdraw to the place where they are!"

"Four more have collapsed," Prais frowned at when he heard the report, raised his head in some confusion, and said to himself, "Counting yesterday's two, wouldn't six bridges have collapsed!

"I think it's strange too" The young adjutant gave the same answer to Prais's confusion, "I have been to Rebgen in the rainy season before, and this was not the case at that time, although there have been cases of wooden bridges being washed out, there is absolutely no record of stone bridges being washed away, and three of the bridges reported this time are solid stone bridges, which is simply incredible!"

"Oh, you're saying there are three stone bridges in the collapsed bridge today?" Prais said with surprise written on his face, and handed the pen in his hand to the adjutant, asking him to mark the location of the collapsed stone bridge,

As the position was marked, Prais's face became more and more solemn,

With the location of all the broken bridges marked, it can be clearly seen that this is an irregular semi-arc, behind this semi-arc is a wide river channel that has no way back, in front of it is a wide flat land, and in the middle can be faintly seen a place name, Yiint Racecourse

"Damn, fooled!" Prais bounced up from his seat almost reflexively, "The people of the East Court must have done something on the bridge beforehand, in order to isolate Iint, and now that legion is stationed there?"

The young adjutant also seemed to react to what was going on, and a large cold sweat crept up his forehead,

Yiint is the largest grassland in Rebogen, it is the pasture where war horses were stored in the past, the ground is flat, and it is most conducive to the large-scale movement of cavalry clusters, if the goal of the Dongting people is really here, it will be terrible, there are heavy troops in front, there is no way back, it is simply a place of death

After recalling for a while, he quickly replied

"It's the First Knights of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, because they are the fastest advancing legion, and they are also the vanguard of the Eastern Court cavalry, so they have crossed the Bora River five days ago and entered the Inter Grassland where they can rest their war horses and station!

"Hell, how can this be!" said Prais, whose face turned pale with indignation, His Royal Highness is the person on whom His Majesty has the greatest hope, and if anything happens to him, all of us will be executed!

North central Reborgen, Evente Racecourse

White raindrops hit the muddy ground, thick meadows bent down in unison in the torrential rain,

"Your Highness, the rain here is too heavy, let's go back to the watchtower first!" A great knight who followed behind the eldest prince Arsaac, blocked the raindrops falling on his head with his hands, and shouted with a unique and rough throat, "I don't know when this rain is going to fall, now there is no place to shelter the rain, once there is a large area of cold disease in the army, I am afraid that it will cause a very strict attrition!"

In order to appease the army, the eldest prince Arsaac did not choose to take shelter from the rain at the watchtower, but inspected the camp in the heavy rain

The rain was too big and too strong, almost half a day, it had already washed down the dilapidated grass huts left on the horse farm, the military tents were useless, and the entire ground was full of large and small waterholes and mud pits, not to mention people, it was difficult to find a clean place, except for the only three-story watchtower, the entire horse farm was a water

The residence of the First Knights of Raldian was on a slope of the horse farm, and the crumbling tents and straw huts abounded on the messy ground, and under the pouring rain, these noble knights were like little rabbits that had been driven away, and could only squeeze into the small stone stables with the dirty war horses with great condescension.

The noisy voices filled the rain, and the ground was full of small streams of water gathered by the rain, like long silver earthworms, flowing along the grass stems in a zigzag.

Because it was so chaotic, the knights' weapons were scattered against the wall, including knights' spears, crane-shaped shields, battle axes, flails, and even the saddles of some war horses, because of the advance of the battle situation, there was a kind of arrogance and complacency in the First Knights.

It is thought that the elite cavalry of the Eastern Court is nothing more than this, and in front of the heavily armored knights of Rui Erdian, the famous black-armored archers are nothing more than a group of embroidered pillows that collapse in one rush, except for some innocuous harassment with the thin bow and arrow in their hands, they can hardly see any effect

"Always ready to fight"

It is a knight's instinct that has been trained all year round, but these knights in front of him seem to be very scattered, just a heavy rain becomes like this, which proves that this kind of love has reached a certain stage

In the distance of "Your Highness", a group of cavalry was running towards this side in the rain, led by a large knight with a red tassel floating on his head, the bright armor was full of mud and water, and the knight's cloak representing glory had also become a water rag.

"It's the Knight Captain of Set, who went to the rear to dispatch a defensive tent."

Arsaac recognized the identity of the great knight, and when he saw the other party return empty-handed, he couldn't help but frown his eyebrows

"Where's the supplies you were asked to pick?" Al Saacs asked loudly

"The bridge is broken, all the bridges leading to the back are broken! Before the heavy rain stops, I'm afraid there will be no supplies to provide!" the chief knight got off his horse with a helpless face, untied the cloak that had been condensed on his body, and took the towel from one of the attendants, "It seems that we have to figure it out ourselves!"

Before his words fell, a mournful sound of grace came from the air, and countless black dots fell mixed with the raindrops,
