With her arms around her chest, she said, "The demon army crossed the city tower to attack the interior, which is very common in the history of the Snow Dragon Empire. But in the previous battle, there was one thing that I was very concerned about, that is, the number of defenders inside the narrow peak pass was a bit too small. Later, I asked, because today's grain transportation temporarily drained forty percent of the troops, so that the defense force is insufficient. In addition, today's attack by the demon army was more ferocious than usual, and it was just before our group of reinforcements arrived. ”

"Do you want to say that in the border pass of the Northern Regions that I guard, there is a traitor buried by the demon clan" Fang Zhuosheng's voice was much lowered, his tone sounded a little confused, whether he was contemplative or secretly angry.

"Not necessarily. As far as I know, between the successive checkpoints on the northern frontier, every order to transport food was delivered by the Eagle at dawn that morning, so that the commanding people could transport the army back and forth as quickly as possible. Moreover, the baronkan will prepare the grain in the morning and have a special person to cooperate with the loading. The rapid march back and forth from the narrow peak pass, counting the handover and loading, should not take an hour. And on the contrary, the attack of the demon army was within this hour. If there were spies, it shouldn't have been possible to do it so quickly. There is a wasteland outside the gate, and there are many light and dark sentinels to monitor, and it is difficult to send the information out. What's more, it's still such a big offensive as a whole. ”

Fang Zhuosheng nodded and said, "So, what is your opinion?"

"Perhaps, it's really just a coincidence. But the reason for this coincidence,What is the previous attack of the demon race.,Because they are all nomadic tribes.,The troops are scattered.,For the common good, they are temporarily assembled together.,And each time choose one or two levels to attack.。 And today, there are too many troops appearing, and they are attacking multiple levels at the same time. Where did the extra demon army come from, and why did they attack like this" Twilight Yinyin speculated, looking very serious.

"At least from this point of view, as the daughter of Marshal Minami, you are quite qualified. More assertive than your sister who has always been an adjutant. However, the heat was still a little worse. ”

Fang Zhuosheng grinned, his gaze shifted to the rest of the people, and asked, "The rest of the people, do you have any opinions?"

Fang Huanlan replied: "Today's situation is a little different from what I have experienced in the past. At this time in previous years, those nomadic tribes of the demon clan attacked ruthlessly, but there was no such thing as today, regardless of the cost, a narrow peak pass actually launched five siege vehicles. Moreover, he even has the ability to break the main arm of the trebuchet defending the city from a distance. These, but never before. ”

Hearing this, Fang Zhuosheng lowered his head slightly, folded his hands, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are all just turning around in the gate, and you haven't gone up to the city tower to take a look."

"There are too many enemy troops, and several stairs are crowded with people and corpses, and it is difficult to go up. Moreover, it is certainly not possible to ignore the enemy in the pass, so it is natural to provide assistance nearby. ”

"Yes, no wonder you. Coming from afar, where can I take care of so much, I naturally see the enemy and go up. Besides, the demons are cruel, and it's not easy to deal with them. It's good that you're able to get out of battle while still having your whole body out. ”

When Fang Zhuosheng's words fell, Ning Yue slowly raised his hand and said, "Probably, I know what Marshal North is referring to." ”

"Oh, let's hear it. ”

"Because I went up to the city tower, I was able to see that in the distance outside the pass, in the position of the middle army of the demon army, there was obviously a different army. Coupled with the inadvertent reminder of Marshal West, I realized where the weirdness was. It's too neat, compared to those demon soldiers who attacked the city tower in rough and casual clothes, those soldiers who pressed the formation were extremely well-equipped, and the array was neat, which was obviously not something that the nomadic tribe could have. ”

In this regard, Fang Zhuosheng raised his head again and responded, "Not bad." A similar situation occurred not only in the Sabuchi Pass, but also in the Aranto Pass. As well as several other checkpoints, the same report came from them. In the rear of the poorly equipped army of nomadic tribes, a well-equipped regular army of demons appeared. According to our perception of the demons, such a force should not appear on the frontier of all nations. ”

Ning Yue continued: "Moreover, their arrows are very powerful. Long-range strikes are precise and ferocious. I'm ashamed to say that if it weren't for Marshal West's timely help, I'm afraid I would have hated it on the spot. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a thick trebuchet arm could be broken by an arrow, and the timing and precision were so accurate. It's terrifying, a hundred refining divisions. Even I suspect that if they are dispatched, even if the Red Flame Legion attacks, they will probably suffer a loss due to the disadvantage in numbers. ”

Twilight Yinyin was suddenly startled, and shouted: "Are you kidding, the Chiyan Legion is the elite of the elite of the empire, and what it is best at is to fight a decisive battle in the wilderness. ”

"That's probably because he hasn't met a qualified opponent. At least this time, he raised his bow and fired a series of shots, defeating the two generals of the opposing side, but when he exchanged a few moves with the bow and arrow of the main general of that army, it was an equal match. I couldn't see his face, but I was sure that he wasn't shocked, but excited, excited by the presence of a rare opponent. ”

Speaking of this, Ning Yue noticed that a faint light flashed in the eyes of Northern Marshal Fang Zhuosheng.

Immediately, Fang Zhuosheng nodded and said, "I agree with your opinion. For a long time, the opponents of the Snow Dragon Empire were the rest of the empires on the frontier of all nations, some orc tribes in the west, and the demon nomadic tribes in the northern regions. The pattern on the big 6 has its own balance, and those who are too strong will not arbitrarily meddle in the battle of the relatively weak. But today, that balance is beginning to be upset. ”

Fang Huanlan's face changed, and she exclaimed: "Could it be that Marshal North means that the elite demon army comes from the north, the rumored Demon Realm."

Nodding, Fang Zhuosheng said, "Other than that, it's hard to have any other answers. But as I said, there is a balance of patterns on the big 6, although the frontier of all nations is large, but compared to the other areas occupied by humans, the overall strength is too weak. So much so that the other side of the big 6 is called the occupant of the demon realm, and they don't bother to deal with us at all, just some scattered demon tribes scattered on the edge of the gap, and they have been in conflict and war with us. ”

"But if that's the case, what is their purpose The rumored high-level demon clan divided by the empire has a strict and complete ruling system, and it is better than the borders of all countries. What reason did they have to come to the aid of the scattered nomadic tribes, and to help them plunder the food for the winter, and the cost of sending an army once was not small, and that alone would not be worth the loss. Twilight shook her head.

She knows a lot about the rumors and records of the demons. Marshal Nan likes to study refining weapons, has no view of the portal, and even gets involved in the skills of other races, so much so that he has collected all kinds of books. In the past, when she was bored, Twilight Yinyin would go and look at it at random, and she knew more from this, more than many generals in the empire.

Fang Zhuosheng said: "The suspicion is exactly like this. Such a well-equipped strong force really has to fight, and if it concentrates its combat power on a point, even this deserted gate will not be able to defend it. However, judging from the performance of the army scattered in various checkpoints today, it was just a wait-and-see and a few random helps. It seems that their purpose was not to attack the city at all. Then, it is even more difficult to guess the true purpose. ”

"As for this, I'm afraid it's useless to just guess, I can only slowly collect clues in the next time. Hopefully, they're just passing by, with some other purpose. For the sake of the demons, just help the nomadic tribes outside the gate, that's all. ”

Ning Yue smiled, as if he wanted to ease the overly solemn atmosphere.

Nodding, Fang Zhuosheng sighed: "I wanted to come to you to talk casually, but it turned out to be an old problem, why did I directly get to the topic that should be discussed with the generals, just now, it should be all idle chat, and don't spread it." ”

"This is natural. Twilight Yinyin hurriedly replied.

"But thanks to you, at least I have a little more ideas before the next strategy meeting. By the way, you've been driving all the way, and you're going to fight as soon as you arrive, so you should be quite tired, so let's go back and rest for a while, and the room should be ready. That, Alain, you stay, I haven't played chess with you for a long time. ”

Since Marshal North said so, Ning Yue and the others were not easy to stay, so they took their own leave.

After coming to the door, Chang Xuanxuan and Xiao Ao exhaled a long breath, as if the tense heartstrings could finally be released. Then, Chang Xuanxuan punched Ning Yue in the chest.

"I said that you kid is really anyone's talk, that is the dignified Marshal of the North, the oldest of the four generalissimos of the empire, even the old even His Majesty respects him for three points, you dare to interject so much. At least, I don't have the guts. ”

"I don't think it's guts, but that your brain is already a mess, and you don't have any thoughts, just like Lin Mo. ”

Xiao Ao pointed to his side, Lin Mo seemed to have both legs weak, and he barely stood firm with Ji Qianyou's support.

Ning Yue spread his hands and said: "I said you, Marshal North is not here to ask, do you need to be so nervous, Xiaoao, if you are bold enough, why didn't you say a word?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ao's expression was slightly gloomy, and he pulled Ning Yue to the side, and said in a low voice: "When Marshal North looked at us just now, it seemed that when he looked at me, his eyes instinctively became a little more vigilant. Like, he's gone."

Inside the house, looking at Fang Huanlan, who was holding the child, Fang Zhuosheng shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect to stay with that little princess who is famous for chess skills for so long, and Alan's chess skills are still the same as before, and they haven't grown." ”

"It's not a long time, I only reached a consensus with her after I planned to participate in the new competition, and there was no intersection before. When she came to me, I was surprised. And at that time, I didn't know that she was the sister of the current queen. ”

The chess pieces in her hand fell, and Fang Huanlan suddenly smiled: "It's you, grandpa, you still have the usual steady style, first consolidate the defensive formation, and then look for fighters." ”

Fang Zhuosheng also smiled and replied: "I can't change my habits over the years. You grew up with me, aren't you also somewhat contaminated with some of these practices, but there are some things that can't be defended as offense like this. If you are robbed of the opportunity, stability will become your constraints. ”

Fang Huanlan was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "I don't know, what is grandpa referring to"

In this regard, Fang Zhuosheng's smile was a little meaningful, but it was a little playful.

"Alan has always been a woman who does not let her eyebrows, and no one in the army dares to question it. But after all, it's still a girl, and at this age, it's not uncommon for some people to think about common sense. From the letters you sent back to me, I can see that you care a lot about that Ning Yue."
