In the middle of November, in the north of Gaul, the land was frozen, thousands of miles of snow drifted, and after a cold blizzard, there was an unexpected period of calm weather.

The Imperial Central Army advancing north from the direction of Kyoto in Gaul and the Northern Advance Army of Salon converged in Antura, the total strength of the two armies was 87,000 people, gathering the imperial generals Salon, Hukochili and others, and the Gallic side was annihilated with the 30,000 Bidan army of Duke Simon, the northern commander of the first wave of confrontation, and the total strength was reduced from the original 140,000 people who had an absolute advantage to the current 110,000 people, the gap in strength was narrowed, and the advantage was difficult to maintain, and when the soldiers learned that they were facing the most elite Central Army of the Falcon Empire, the morale was shaken and it was difficult to heal in a short period of time

Tielan held an emergency meeting in the small fortress at the pass, and first expressed his grief for the death of Duke Simon, the commander-in-chief of the northern part of the empire, for the country, but his eyes were full of indifference, leaning forward, his hands were heavily placed on the table, his eyes swept over the generals who were panicked for a while below, and said in a deep voice. Ladies and gentlemen, we are the last force of the Empire in the north, and as Imperial soldiers, we should try our best to annihilate the invading enemy as our first priority, but this time, our situation is very bad, the important northern town of Antura has fallen into the hands of the Falcon Army, we have cut off all the links with Kyoto, the total strength of the enemy has increased from 30,000 to 80,000, and the commander has also changed from the fierce general Salon, to the Falcon Emperor Vekia Falcon, who made countless Gallic generals tremble, this change is enough to make our original plan to defeat the Falcon Empire's northward advance force with three times the force cannot be implemented, and now we must make a choice, which is to fight!, or evacuate further north!"

"Naturally, it's a battle!, we have superior forces! And we are fighting on our own soil" Ruer, the commander of the 11th step of the Northern Army who had just belonged to Tielan, stood up, looking a little careless.

As soon as his words came out, he heard a burst of disdain from the generals of the Kyoto army on the opposite side, and the generals in Kyoto whispered something. "Something wrong with what I said?"

Ruhl's face was a little uncertain, he looked at Tielan, who was sitting in the main seat, and saw that the face of the head of the Kyoto Army looked ugly, as if he had been slapped in the face,

"Although I don't want to raise the enemy and hit myself, I still have to say," this is, a middle-aged general stood up from the general of the Central Army on the opposite side, he looked directly at the somewhat stunned Ruhr on the opposite side, and said in a condensed voice, "Lord Ruhr, your unit thinks that you have fought with the Falcon Army many times. That's why I dare to make such a rash judgment, but please realize that Lord Ruhr has been fighting against your department in the past, it is the fierce general of the Falcon Empire that has been fighting against you, and the opponent is only about 30,000 Falcon Army troops, but now, we are facing the Falcon Emperor Emperor, and there are as many as 50,000 real elite troops of the Falcon Empire under his command. If there is no superiority of more than 300,000 troops, and there is no perfect preparation, this is what only people who can say without thinking through their brains."

"What do you mean!"

Ruhl was a little confused. It took half a ring to react, and the other side was scolding himself!

He stood up angrily and replied in a sharp tone, "Lord Bailu, although you are a general of the Kyoto Army. It's from a big place like Kyoto, but it's not funny at all for you to joke like this, isn't he a human being? The Falcon Army's combat strength is strong, but we have also fought against each other, although their current strength has increased to 80,000, we are 110,000! And we are well-equipped, occupy the local advantage, and take the defense, it is now the middle of November, as long as it drags on for another month, the north will enter the most terrible cold, even if he Vekia Falcon is known as the invincible god of war, he will choose to retreat because of the cold winter supply problem!" "Lord Ruhr, do you know what you mean by holding out for a month? A trace of inexplicable gloom flashed on the face of the general of the Kyoto Army, known as Bai Lu, and his eyes flickered, and he said, "110,000 against 80,000, is it difficult to hold on for a month!" Lu Er took a deep breath, not to be outdone, and asked, "Stupid, I don't think I can do anything" "I really don't have a backache when I stand and talk"

The generals of the Kyoto Army on the opposite side were like a drop of water falling into the boiling oil. exploded in an instant,

One of the generals said angrily, " The Battle of Rasti, as we did with superior forces to take the local defense, Vikia Falcon with 300,000 troops, just a sweep, a month, our imperial army lost 600,000 people before and after, and there were as many as sixty-seven generals who were captured, the Battle of Danny, the elite of your Northern Army led the battle, and it was less than a month, and 170,000 elite troops were all killed in this battle, and now you sue me again, as long as you hold on for a month, you know how ironic and ridiculous this sentence sounds now!" In a month, with 110,000 troops with good and bad equipment, against the most powerful Imperial Central Army under the command of Vekia Falcon, that is looking for death!" Another Kyoto Army general said, "Many previous examples have shown that any strong defense and so-called superiority in strength are a joke in front of the most feared top commander of the Vekia Falcon continent! And our supplies are afraid that we will not last for a month! Before the Falcon army collapses, we will collapse first!" "Okay, everyone be quiet!"

Tie Lan waved his hand, so that the quarrel stopped, looking at the chaos in front of him and felt a little headache, the Kyoto army was not a northerner, and now the Kyoto army wanted the Kyoto army to fight against the elite troops of the Falcon Empire led by Vekia Falcon for the north, these generals would definitely not do it, and the northern army represented by Ruhr was a different matter, as the troops responsible for the defense of the northern part of the empire, most of them were native-born northerners, and these northern armies naturally hoped to stick to their hometown,

Tie Lan rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, feeling that she was in a dilemma,

The strength of the Vikia Falcon is obvious to all, the first thing this Falcon Majesty did when he arrived in the north was to swallow the northern core Antura in one bite, firmly grasp the initiative of the battle in the north, and then waved his hand, and completely turned the Bidan army, which Duke Simon, the commander-in-chief of the empire, was proud of, into a pile of corpses, and the next step was to eliminate the 110,000 troops under his command, and completely incorporate the control of the northern part of the empire into the bag of the Falcon Empire。

The battle of Rasti, the sight of the Imperial army bleeding still seemed to be floating before his eyes, only after experiencing the horror of the invincible commander knew how difficult it was to make up his mind to fight against it, just as he knew that he was doomed to defeat before the battle, the commander who gave this order needed steely willpower,

Otherwise, the thought of personally sending tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of his subordinates to the enemy's butcher's knife would make the commander himself collapse with guilt. In this regard, although he did not say it, the person Tielan admired the most was actually Hasenrampo! This first place in the Gallic military circles is definitely worthy of his name, and his willpower alone is far more than that of other generals, if it were not for the powerful Falcon of Vekia on the opposite side, Hasenranpo may not have the opportunity to become a famous general in the Gallic Empire.

"Actually, I personally think. This falcon may not want to start a fight with us immediately!" In the silence, he muttered as if in the seat representing the Northern Army on Tielan's left

"What?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the past

"Pat, what did you just say?"

Tielan also thought that she had misheard, and asked again. The expressions of the others were the same, but the voice of the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Northern Army was too soft just now

Bald Pat hesitated for a moment on his face, "The subordinate is saying that the Vichia Falcon is the same as us, and it doesn't necessarily want to start fighting immediately." Because for now, this falcon should immediately choose to press us after eating Simon in one bite. However, the other side did not immediately turn in our direction, but retracted to Antura, which shows that the other side is also confined to the weakness of insufficient troops, and wavers between fighting and not fighting! If we fight, we may not be able to defeat him, but our side has put on a posture of stubborn defense, and the other side must consider that if 80,000 troops want to eat our 110,000 troops in one bite, at least half of our troops will be lost.

"In this way, we don't have to fight the Vekia Falcon!" The generals of the Kyoto Army began to stir up, "Yes, yes, the other side did not use pressing tactics, we can ...... completely"

"That guy put on a big posture of attacking the north this time, but we accidentally put it on, just ate a small fish like Simon's 30,000 Bidanjun, he should be very angry, but now it seems that we are not completely without a chance!" Tie Lan's eyes lit up, and his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest

"Don't sue me, you want to make peace with the enemy in private?"

Another figure stood up, Ruhl looked at the generals of the Kyoto Army opposite, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, these guys, they came when the north was good, and now they have become a muddy pond, and they immediately want to pull their legs and leave, these bastards in Kyoto are absolutely doing such a thing in private,

Under his angry gaze, the generals of the Kyoto Army on the opposite side all subconsciously turned their gazes, and even Lord Tielan was silent, and the room fell silent. "Shameless, how can you ......" Ruhl said angrily, "As an Imperial soldier, this kind of behavior of yours is treason!"

"We are not treason, we just chose to evacuate when the war situation is unfavorable! We are not surrendering, we are not independent, we are just retreating!" the generals of the Kyoto Army responded

"What's the difference between evacuating and abandoning the North!" Ruhr unceremoniously denounced

"Is there a difference between all of us dying in the north? We are the Kyoto Army, not the Northern Army, do you want us to be so responsible for the erosion of the war situation in the north?" the generals of the Kyoto Army said menacingly

"For the sake of the first cowardice, you cowards! This kind of meeting is really painful! I ask to leave first" Ruhr gave a military salute to Tielan, pushed away the bench, and walked out of the conference room angrily, and the other two Northern Army generals Pat and Elinder hurriedly followed, and the three of them had just left,

The entire conference room exploded, and the generals of the Kyoto Army said indignantly, "My lord, this kind of person who does not know how to be grateful should be left to fend for himself!"

"Yes, these northern troops really don't know the severity, and we are not northerners, why should we die for the north!" someone chimed in, "I'll send them to the battlefield tomorrow, and it's a burden to stay!"

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting!" Tie Lan stood up from his seat with a gloomy face, his eyes swept over the descendants below, and said in a cold voice, "Everyone go back and prepare, in the next two days, we will evacuate"

"And the Northern Army?" someone asked

"I'll take care of it!" Tie Lan waved her hand coldly,

Ruhr, who walked out of the conference room, stopped at the corner of the corridor outside. He heard hurried footsteps coming from behind him, heard his name being called, turned around, and saw his fellow Northern Army comrades, Pat and Ellinder

"Ruhl, you were too reckless just now, you know, this is not our territory!Although we are the Northern Army, we are now also under the command of the Kyoto Army" Erinde followed from behind with a little complaint in his tone, followed by a bald Pat with an indifferent face, and Adelin kept complaining that Ruhl should not lose his temper at the meeting. You shouldn't offend the Kyoto Army because of this incident, after all, if you really go to Kyoto, you still need to rely on these Kyoto Army adults

"Elinder, will you go to Kyoto with them?"

Ruhl couldn't listen anymore. Raised his head sharply, his face flushed with anger with a hint of sarcasm. Her blood-colored eyes brought Elinde's grumbling to an abrupt halt

"Ruhr, you know, I'm from Kyoto!"

Elinder's voice paused, his face turned pale, and he shrugged his shoulders, expressing helplessness, and said, "It's my dream to return to Kyoto. And my family needs me too!It is a torment for me to stay here, I can't refuse the invitation of Lord Tielan, do you know how rare such an opportunity is......",

"Alright. I see!" Ruhl interrupted him unceremoniously, looking at Pat behind Elinder

"What about you, Pat!" asked Ruhl, who had the best relationship with Pat. If you want someone to help you, Pat is the best person to do and is thoughtful. Brave in battle, and above all, Pat has a staggering decisiveness

"I'll follow Lord Tielan to Kyoto!"

Pat shook his head affirmatively and reached out to pat Ruhl on the shoulder. In fact, from the elite of the northern army transferred westward, Lord Yald was asked to go to Kyoto, I knew that the north had been abandoned by Kyoto, although the Kyoto side always kept saying that it was the north that supported Kyoto's war of resistance, but in fact, the Kyoto side has never cared about the life and death of the north, from the fact that they transferred Yard, who knew the value of the north, and sent a Duke Simon, who only knew how to scrape, to preside over the affairs of the north, I knew that Kyoto just wanted an area that could provide them with soldiers, weapons, mines, and food." It's not worth it to die for such a person," Pat's voice paused, and he continued, "There is only one result of staying in the north, death or capture, and I don't want to choose one!" "So, even you have given up on the north, and you have given up the vows you made together!" Ruhl raised his eyebrows, and slammed his fist on the wooden pillar of the corridor, blood was left from the location of the broken bones, he looked at the white earth outside the corridor, full of grief, as an authentic northerner, the earth in front of him was like a mother to him,

The companions who had vowed to guard left one by one, and even Pat chose to leave,

There was not a trace of clouds in the white sky, and an indescribable loneliness rose in his heart,

Will the once glorious Northern Army battle flag completely part ways after tonight?"

I'll leave tomorrow and lead the troops to Koalasa further north, even if there is a chance, I will fight to the death for the north, if one day I really ...... I hope you can remember to cover my grave with a battle flag of the Northern Army" Ruhl turned to look at Pat, a slightly wry smile on his lips, his face had never been so determined, and turned to the other side

"Old friend, it seems that you still made a choice!" Pat lowered his head with a sad face, he couldn't bear to see it, and with a twist of his right arm wrist below, a cold light dagger appeared in his hand, looking at Ruhl's defenseless back, with lightning speed, the dagger in his hand stabbed into Ruhl's heart, "Ah" Ruhl let out a painful muffled sound, turned his head in disbelief, and looked at Pat who was holding the dagger behind him

"You!" Ruhl's voice trembled in pain, he couldn't believe that he would die at the hands of his best friend, and wanted to speak, but broken internal organs and blood kept gushing out of his mouth and blocked his throat, and with a thud, Pat pulled out his dagger, and Ruhl's body collapsed into his arms as if he had lost his brace, and blood splattered on Elinde's face, who was still stunned next to him

"You...... Why!" Elinder was stupid, he looked at Pat's hideous face, and felt a chill rise from the back of his head, it was terrible, Pat, who had always been very aggressive, could have such a terrible expression!

"There are enough people who have died in the Northern Army, and for something that should have been given up a long time ago, his insistence will only make more people die! I dare to guarantee that if Ruhr does not die, all of us in the Northern Army will receive an order to attack Antura tomorrow" Pat spread his hands evenly, slowly flattened Ruhr's body, looked at Ruhr, who was no longer breathless, a trace of pain flashed on his face, and said in a deep voice, "You can go and talk back to Lord Tielan now, just say that Ruhr, the commander of the Eleventh Step of the Imperial Army, has just died in despair!" The Northern Army will follow Lord Tielan to Kyoto!"

At noon, Tielan's reply book reached the fat man's hand, and he put down the reply book in his hand, and the fat man's face was not too relaxed.

Tielan's 110,000 troops, sure enough, chose to return to Kyoto, and the fat man would order the troops to be placed on a road, and next to Tielan's reply, there was also a letter received yesterday,

The letter was written by Pat, the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Northern Army of the Gallic Empire, and the general of the Northern Army expressed his surrender to the fat man in the letter, and assured that Tielan's troops would inevitably choose to avoid the battle and return to Kyoto.

But as a condition,

Pat hopes that the Falcon Imperial Army, which has obtained control in the north, will be able to treat the families of the northern army of more than one million people kindly.

When he got this letter, the fat man knew that the once glorious Gallic Northern Army was completely finish......ed!
