If there is something that can make people grow quickly, then it must be called failure, experiencing failure, summing up experience, and then challenging again, many successes need to go through such steps.

Originally, Golia didn't have much ambition, just wanted to gather everyone's strength, temporarily put aside the hatred, and then repel those invaders, protect their Ural Mountains, and protect their homeland.

However, after this loss and returning to the tribe, Golia was rebuked by the other tribes, who did not believe in their families, and their warriors died like this.

As a result, Goliath became a sinner for everyone, and the object of resentment, including those in her tribe, shouted at her, believing that her incompetence had led to this defeat.

This was just the beginning, and the next morning, a rumor spread through all the tribes here, and Goliath was labeled a traitor, because only Goliath was a traitor would such a failure happen.

"This is ridiculous, Goliath, how can they doubt you like that, you almost died!"

The guard was next to Goliath, dancing with excitement, he couldn't believe what was happening outside, he couldn't accept that such a ridiculous thing was happening to him, to the people around him.

"Shut up and be quiet. ”

Golia's face darkened, and she scolded.

"Don't say that, those are all rumors of the Baltic Empire. ”

"But...... The old men in the tribe, as well as the chiefs of other tribes, are discussing this issue, and they say that you have been bought by the Baltic Empire, and as long as the Baltic Empire wins, you will be able to leave the mountains and go outside to get a territory and become a lord. ”

"Huh? Did those old guys get rocks on their heads, or are they full of muscles?"

The brain is full of muscles, which Alice used to make fun of Beowulf in the first place, and is now widely used to describe people who act without going through their brains.

The guard was silent for a few minutes, he didn't know what to say to comfort Goliath, he didn't know what way to find a way to deal with the situation, he was just a guard, just a guard.

"How's it going out there, Levi. ”

"It's still being discussed, and no conclusion has been reached. ”

"Levi, I'm not asking for those guys, I'm asking what kind of situation our enemies are now. ”

Golia raised her eyebrows, a few minutes had already calmed her down, and she had returned to a calm situation, excitement could not change the current situation, only by calming down could it be possible to find a way to break the situation.

"Uh...... I don't know. ”

Levi hesitated slightly, and shook his head.

"Is anyone staring at those guys?"

"No, they're all arguing. ”

"Those bastards ......"

Goliath gritted her teeth, because a failure has fallen into a state of struggle for power, no matter how primitive and barbaric, the desire for the existence of intelligent life will not disappear, failure sometimes brings not only growth, but also may make the usually hidden inferior nature completely burst out.

Goliath was now under semi-house arrest, and there was no way to control the army and give orders, and if it weren't for the fact that there was still a group of warriors, including the Giants of the Hill, supporting her, she would have been executed.

"What to do, Goliath. ”

"No, it can't go on like this. ”

"Levi. ”

"In!"

Guard Levi shuddered, he straightened up, the worry on his face turned serious, just like in the army before, he didn't need to think too much, he just needed to listen to Golia's order seriously, and carry this order seriously.

"You go...... That'...... ...... like this"

Goliath leaned into Levi's ear, Levi's face turned red at first, then quickly turned pale, he looked at Goliath in shock, and finally nodded helplessly in her stern gaze.

Then, the next day, Goliath was rescued, and the first thing she did when she came out was to throw all the chattering old people into prison so that they could not influence her decision-making.

The second step is to start preparing the army, the previous defeat has caused the army to suffer heavy losses, she needs to quickly pull more soldiers, to fill the gaps in the army, and organize a sufficient number of troops to fight the enemy as soon as possible.

The battles here are never too complicated tactics, and more of a family is a wave of young and old, and Golia, who has not been educated and has not experienced too many wars, is not exempt.

When Goliath regained her command and reorganized her army, the soldiers of the Sixth Legion of the Baltic Empire, who had won the first victory, did not stay long, they left the former valley and now the ruins, and continued to march according to the original route.

As they walked, they could clearly feel the malice shown to them by insects and beasts, attacking them day and night.

Fortunately, the army system of the Baltic Empire is very strict, no matter when and under what circumstances, they maintain a strict style, do not eat anything here, and do not leave the barracks at will.

It was a very difficult journey, but it was only difficult, and they had a well-established logistics system that kept them from worrying about food, weapons and ammunition.

The Sixth Legion of the Baltic Empire maintained such a steady and steady style, destroying one large tribe and three medium-sized tribes in a row, and then they rarely encountered enemies.

Because, their combat effectiveness has been recognized by the indigenous population of the Ural Mountains, confirming that on the frontal battlefield, even with all their strength, they cannot be defeated and victorious.

Unable to achieve victory, the indigenous inhabitants of the Ural Mountains chose to leave their places of residence and move elsewhere to avoid the direction of the army.

They don't have the same sense of honor as the Scandinavians, they don't say they will fight to the death for the gods, for loyalty, for honor or something, they don't have that level of education, and the indigenous people of the Ural Mountains in the primitive stage of barbarism have always thought about how to survive in this harsh world.

In a sense, these uncultured natives are very similar to the idea that Alice has always adhered to, and promoted, which is to remove all the opulence and elegance, remove all the unnecessary things, and prioritize practicality and applicability.

In addition, the Ural Mountains are a place of frequent earthquakes and mudslides, and there are countless fierce beasts in it, and the tribes living here have made it a habit to migrate, sometimes once every few years, and sometimes twice a week, because they are lucky enough.

The environment of the Ural Mountains is very complicated, even with detailed maps, equipment for fighting, and some heavy weapons, it is destined that the Sixth Legion will not be able to catch up with the tribes that have migrated away.

Moreover, this war is defined as a small-scale war of annihilation, as much as possible to annihilate the indigenous forces here, to obtain slaves, and to achieve the purpose of training the army, the former has been done very well, the problem is the latter.

The first three battles, well, let's count those three as battles, the soldiers of the Sixth Legion of the Baltic Empire did not really appreciate the battlefield, and the battle ended in victory.

In the next few times, the opponent's strength was too weak, and it didn't take long for the formation to collapse, the demoralized soldiers dropped their weapons and fled everywhere, the mother hid in the house with her child in her arms and cried in a low voice, and the old man was pushed to the ground, and then trampled to death by the chaotic crowd.

"I knew that I wouldn't have let the caster team make a move at that time. ”

Thinking of the battle that was easily won a few days ago, the commander of the Sixth Legion shook his head, it was the army that looked most like an army he had seen during this time, and it could be seen from the previous two attacks that the commander of the opposing side was very good at using the power in his hands when directing the battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's vision was limited to this land, which led to the ambush turning into a war of annihilation, then through a formal war, these soldiers could be reminded of the cruelty of the battlefield and transformed from the elite on the training ground to the elite on the battlefield.

They don't just want victory, they don't just want rich booty, they want to fight, they want to fight, they want to fight brutally, to gain real, experience that can only be gained through the battle between life and death.

"Looks like you're bothered by something, Captain. ”

With an excited smile on his face, the herald came to open the tent and walked in.

"It seems that you have brought me good news, Chuan Lin Officer. ”

"Of course, this is information sent by those assassins from the intelligence services, you can take a look. ”

The herald handed over a piece of papyrus, and looked at the information written on it with special secret runes, the wrinkles on his face slowly spread, and the corners of his mouth smiled.

"Well done, boys. ”

The Legion Commander said with praise.

Normally, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between a soldier who likes to fight head-on and an assassin who likes to hide and kill the enemy in the shadows, and it is not just a contradiction limited to interests, but a contradiction caused by differences in world outlook, outlook on life, and values.

However, this will not happen in the Baltic Empire, because they are all allegiance to Alice, they are all giving everything for the empire, the difference is only what they are good at, the methods used, and what areas are more applicable.

Because this is not a full-scale war for the purpose of conquering this land, these assassins who have been brutally trained by Hassan and have received a good evaluation are not on an assassination mission, but only collect information for the army and blend in with the tribes.

Otherwise, the chiefs of those tribes would have been killed at the first moment of the war, and then the scattered indigenous population would have been easily defeated, captured, conquered, and the war would have ended in the shortest possible time.

"Is the commander in chief on the ground a girl? and so young, it's amazing. ”

The intelligence assassins brought information about Goliath and what happened to her during this time, and according to the intelligence records, Goliath used her elite troops to launch a rebellion without much loss.

No, no, it would be incorrect to describe it as a rebellion, because in this war, Golia was nominally the commander of the tribal alliance, and she was only violently removing the people and institutions that restricted her rights.

"Legion Commander, the war we are looking forward to is coming. ”

The herald said loudly, such a battle without waves really did not interest him.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. ”

The Legion Commander quickly calmed down, and he carefully read the information written on the papyrus, and thought carefully.

"I need more information, to tell the assassins, I want to know their specific situation now, their location, the composition of their army, I want to be detailed. ”

The corps commander said to the herald.

"Yes, understood, Legion Commander. ”

The herald saluted, then turned around and left the tent to contact the assassins.

After two hours, the entire army had changed direction, making an arc in another direction, ready to take the initiative to find Goliath's troops.

From the information sent back by the assassins, it can be learned that after experiencing a defeat and a political struggle, the other party has not only become weaker, but more powerful, and the commander named Golia, using the army in his hands, forced other tribes to send more warriors to the army, and then used his eloquence and personal charm to gain the support of those warriors.

"Then, let me see if you have grown after failing once, don't let me down, if a war of annihilation becomes a war of conquest, I will not be able to explain to Your Highness and Your Majesty after I go back. ”

Looking at the hot noon sun in the sky, the corps commander thought silently in his heart.

The enemy's information has been obtained by him, the targeted tactics have been prepared, and all that remains is to rehearse the opera according to the script that has been arranged.

Unbeknownst to him, the woman he had praised by Golia, had also received information about the change in the direction of their army, and had also learned about the number, disposition, and equipment of the Sixth Legion.

The assassins of the Baltic Empire are indeed very good in terms of intelligence acquisition, but there are never only some people in this world, and in this land of the Ural Mountains, the natives living here have a home advantage.

"Sure enough, there are people from the other side in our army, and our every move has been known by the other party, so at that time, we will be defeated so easily, and the trap that we have worked so hard to set will be directly trampled on with one foot. ”

If that ambush hadn't been discovered beforehand, it would have been the Baltic Empire's Sixth Legion that would have been defeated, and in the event of entering the valley, the magic of the Earth Shaking would have been buried with them.
