The Yokoga military camp is located on the border between the Kingdom of Saran and the Sauron Empire. It has always been the heart of resistance to Sauron. The soldiers stationed here can also be called the elite of the Saran Kingdom.

But Shen Mengting had great reservations about this, she was not sure at all that the soldiers in this military camp would fall into a comfortable quagmire like Saran's overall depravity. After all, her father had been dead for many years, and coupled with the compromise faction's deduction of the army [river crab] fee, it was almost unimaginable to outsiders what kind of slack Saran's soldiers had become.

Alas! Shen Mengting sighed again and slowly steered the horse forward.

When she and her group of soldiers arrived at this 'Yokoga barracks', it was already more than ten days later. The overall tone of the rush is quite stable, which is not too fast and cannot be said to be slow.

Seeing the flag of the Henghe military camp from a distance, Shen Mengting's heart still had a sense of stability. At least judging from the fact that this military camp still exists in the world, it is clear that Sauron's side has not yet reached the point of making a move.

Shen Mengting breathed a long sigh of relief, the current situation is not the worst, as long as there is this nominally the most elite military camp soldier in Salan, then it is equivalent to filling a lot of chips against foreign enemies.

Thinking like this, Shen Mengting ordered the six thousand soldiers she brought with her to enter the Henghe military camp directly.

The Yokoga military camp was run by a major general named Wang Bin, who was a rather short but very athletic middle-aged man.

Shen Mengting would never understand that the dignified border barracks officer was actually just an official at the level of a minor [River Crab] general, and it seemed that in recent years, the compromisers had indeed sifted through the military [River Crab] team system.

Major General Wang Bin is still an understanding person, and he has already received the news that Shen Mengting will bring troops here. So, when Shen Mengting and his party just came to the gate of the barracks, the major general couldn't wait to come to greet them.

"Ahhh

Shen Mengting also personally dismounted for this reason and shook hands with the major general. Behind her, there was a vast crowd of soldiers brought from Kiyose Castle.

Of course, after shaking hands with Shen Mengting, Wang Bin also greeted Deputy Marshal Ma Liming very politely. This way of greeting is more respectful than when facing Shen Mengting, as if Ma Liming's level is bigger

Qian Hao saw it clearly from behind, and in the hurried experience along the way, he found that the soldiers he brought with him also seemed to be more obedient to the deputy marshal.

"Oh! I've waited a minute. Since the two marshals have arrived, then come in quickly!" Major General Wang Bin didn't plan to mix anything with the cold, and directly prepared to introduce the people who came into the barracks.

This character honestly echoed Shen Mengting's taste, and after making a rude smile, she nodded and entered the Yokoga military camp in parallel with Vice Marshal Ma Liming.

As for the more than 6,000 soldiers brought by the gang in the rear, she didn't need to worry about anything anymore, and there were naturally people in the barracks who took them in. When the Yokoga military camp was built, it was built for one of the best camps in the country. After all, it had to bear the responsibility of fighting against the Sauron Empire, so it was only natural that it would spend a lot of money and occupy a huge area.

Following Major General Wang Bin all the way, they were referred to as they entered a shack. But judging from the appearance alone, the design of this shed is extremely simple. First of all, it has a different color and style from the surrounding buildings, and you can see its important position from a distance.

After walking into this shack, Shen Mengting concluded this. This place is the core command area of the entire military camp, and the meaning of Wang Bin bringing them here is self-evident.

"Please come in!" Wang Bin has always maintained this humble and respectful appearance, and the image of this major general is cautious.

Shen Mengting and Ma Liming entered the shack at the same time in parallel, followed by Qian Hao, Shen Jun and Chen Tianhao. If Wang Bin himself is added, then there are six people in the house.

These six people are the only people in the military camp who have a higher rank than the [River Crab] general, and they must also be the core figures of this defensive battle. Therefore, they discussed countermeasures in the shack, which is a very normal situation.

Shen Mengting continued to walk towards the center of the room, she casually turned her head to look around a few times, and found that the layout here was quite simple.

In front of the deepest wall in the room, there are brackets with wooden boards. There was also a large map attached to the board, and she immediately recognized it as a map detailing the border between Saran and Sauron.

In the center of the room, a large table is placed. The table is seven or eight square meters in size and is decorated with miniature mountains and hills. Of course, in these mini-lands, there are also small flags that the army should have. Presumably this is a simulated thumbnail image near the barracks!

Shen Mengting's blood boiled when she saw these placements, and she dreamed of being like her father since she was a child, in this kind of command house that depicts the nearby environment, imagining countermeasures against the enemy.

Today is finally the fulfillment of her childhood dream.

On either side of this large table, there are two rows of tables and chairs, and their purpose is naturally for the generals who are discussing countermeasures to rest.

"All the marshals and generals have worked hard! This is the command house of the barracks! Everyone sit down!" Wang Bin ordered everyone to sit down. His outstretched arms swept the chairs on either side from time to time.

Qian Hao and Shen Jun were the most excited, and they were about to sit on the chairs on both sides. After all, their buttocks have been touching the horse's back all these days! The feeling of jolting is unnecessary, and sometimes the fear of falling from the top is the most apprehensive thing for them.

So when they heard that they could finally relax and sit down, they couldn't have been happier. They were about to walk to the side in a laughing voice, but they didn't notice that Shen Mengting was staring at her.

"Ah, I think you are the generals who were personally appointed by the king this time, right?" asked Wang Bin curiously. His eyes were naturally locked on Qian Hao and the three of them.

But because Chen Tianhao, who had been standing at the door, was just standing, Wang Bin's eyes were focused on Qian Hao and Shen Jun.

"Oh! that's us!" Qian Hao had a bright smile on his face, and he was still scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

Without even a few seconds of effort, he and Shen Jun sat directly on the chairs. They seemed to be enjoying the feeling of sitting in the big room, and it seemed that they were just going to talk and laugh.

There are really no rules! Deputy Marshal Ma Liming couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth on the side, but his movements still stopped with his chest and his hands behind his back.

"Oh, to tell you the truth, I received a letter from the king a few days ago that a new general was coming, and after meeting you today, I really found that you have a heroic spirit!" Wang Bin said flattering words to the fullest.

Qian Hao didn't seem to shy away from it at all, he actually accepted this compliment happily, and even Erlang's legs were cocked. Although he still said that he was embarrassed, his actual actions all explained that he should be a general.

This made Wang Bin, who had been praising all the time, embarrassed. After scratching his chin, he quickly ordered the others to sit down as well.

But Shen Mengting directly raised her hand and refused, "No need! I don't want to sit down now!" Her tone was firm and excited, and her eyes were focused on Qian Hao and Shen Jun.

Qian Hao seemed to sense something, and after coughing lightly, he still stood up. When Shen Jun saw him like this, he also stood up. The two of them resumed their standing posture, and secretly went behind Shen Mengting.

When Wang Bin saw this scene, he twitched his cheeks a few times without smiling.

Even the two marshals didn't sit down, and you two major generals actually dared to sit down first-Qian Hao found this meaning in Shen Mengting's eyes. That's why they stood behind Shen Mengting again.

"Okay! I won't say any more kind words! Major General Wang Bin, I believe you should also know the purpose of our visit to the Henghe military camp this time!" Shen Mengting made a respectful fist salute to the front, and Wang Bin and his person naturally stood in the opposite direction.

"Ah!" Wang Bin replied with the same action with some embarrassment, "I know! I know! Generalissimo Shen Mengting! You have been traveling for several days, so let's sit down first and then talk about it! All the generals should also sit down!"

"No! now is not the time to sit at all, I need to quickly understand the situation here!" As she spoke, Shen Mengting walked towards the depths of the house. She came to the map posted on the wooden board and squinted.

"Well! Now is indeed not the time to sit! The current situation is still relatively urgent! I hope that Major General Wang Bin can report the situation as soon as possible!" Ma Liming also seemed to be making a supplement.

For the first time, the two marshals seemed to be of the same opinion.

Wang Bin was a little embarrassed at this time, and he quickly lowered his waist and echoed a few words, "Ah! yes! Yes, the two marshals are right!"

"General Wang Bin, what's the situation now?" Shen Mengting turned around suddenly, but didn't move her pace. She still wants to be close to the border map, so that she can feel on it at any time.

"The current situation ......" Wang Bin looked a little embarrassed, and his brows furrowed.

"Just talk to your heart's content! Actually, when we were in Kiyose Castle, we were already told that the situation was not good. ”

Wang Bin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. However, the breath that flowed from his mouth was quickly turned into a lament, "The situation has really reached a very bad point now!" his shoulders sank, "The first to notice this were the scouts in our camp, who discovered for no apparent reason that the Sauron Empire was gathering forces at the border. At first, I thought it was just a small point, but it turned out to be ......."

"As a result, after you carefully investigated, you learned that the number is 30,000?" Ma Liming interjected.

"Yes, they have 30,000 troops stationed at the border. This scares us so much!, so we're going to send a messenger to Kiyose Castle with an urgent letter!"

"Well, we've seen that! But General Wang Bin! I have a question for you! When exactly did they start stationing troops for no reason?"

You know, 30,000 troops is not a small number. The sudden appearance of such a large number of troops out of thin air on the border must have aroused the vigilance of the border scouts.

"This ......" Wang Bin seemed to have something unspeakable. His teeth clenched tightly, and hot air blew from between his teeth, "Well...... If you really want to say the specific time, it should be half a month ago, right?"

"Hmm, half a month ago?" Shen Mengting's head tilted slightly, "Wait! Is this a specific time period?"

"Generalissimo Shen Mengting! If you want to say the specific time, it will be a bit ......."

"Are you embarrassed?" Shen Mengting directly asked.

The reason why she wanted to know the exact time was to see what level of vigilance the soldiers in this barracks were?

However, the current answer is a pity! There are tens of thousands of troops from other countries on the border for no reason, and the people in this barracks are completely unaware of it! This shows how lax their thinking is and how incapable they are of their great responsibilities!

Of course, there was a second reason why she did it. She wanted to see what the Sauron Empire was thinking. It had been nearly three months since Yang Jiening escaped and was killed, but Sauron's side had only officially begun to gather troops about half a month ago. This shows that Sauron was not monolithic in this invasion of Saran, and their officials must have been in a heated debate.

However, Shen Mengting also thought of another reason, that is, someone in the Sauron Kingdom was deliberately hiding the matter of Uncle Yang Jiening. And recently, this matter can't be hidden, so it is like the East Window incident to start gathering troops to officially invade.

Shen Mengting's eyes kept rolling with reverie, and she had almost thought about the possible reasons.

General Wang Bin's answer has not been released for a long time, and it seems that he really doesn't know the specific days of the Sauron Empire. But he couldn't be blamed, no one in the barracks could have imagined that in a day of peace, the two countries would suddenly turn to each other again until the moment of the invasion of troops.

"Okay! You don't have to answer! Actually, I'm just asking, and if you don't know the specific day, let it not know! We need to defend those 30,000 troops now!"

"Defense, how to defend it?" asked Qian Hao.

Why do you want to ask this question out of thin air, don't you think about it yourself? Shen Mengting suddenly glared at Qian Hao with some anger.

Seeing this, Qian Hao shrunk his neck, and quickly lowered his head. What he couldn't stand the most was making eye contact with Shen Mengting, that woman's gaze could really kill people sometimes.

None of the others responded, but General Wang Bin spoke, "Ah, you ask how to defend it! I have actually discussed this with the other captains in the barracks, but ......"

"But what's the matter?" Vice Marshal Ma Limin walked a few steps forward, and he came to General Wang Bin, "Can't you defend it?"

Wang Bin lowered his head, he didn't answer clearly, but the look on his face seemed to have already explained the problem.

"Can't defend it?" Shen Mengting was really shocked after seeing this answer, "Ah? Why can't you defend it?"

Wang Bin just glanced at the female marshal. Where the man stood, in addition to a map posted on a wooden board, there was a table and chair that was completely different from the chairs on either side. It was for the supreme commander here, and it used to be said to be the exclusive seat of Major General Wang Bin, but with the arrival of the generalissimo, this position was already owned by the woman kneeling.

"Greetings to the Generalissimo, soldiers of the Sauron Empire...... They ...... "Wang Bin's speech has always been slurred, without a sense of decisiveness that a general should have.

Shen Mengting was a little impatient when she heard this, and she immediately waved her hand, "I understand what you mean! How powerful the Sauron Empire is, this is something that every country and race in the world of Celes knows. I know what it means to be targeted by their army. ”

When Wang Bin heard this, he was also immediately relieved. Most of the rest of the people came out with some discouraged looks. The inability of one's own country to resist a strong country is probably all the thinking of this group.

"But I still want to emphasize one thing: No matter how strong the enemy is, we, as soldiers of the country, must resist. If even we give up, then what should the people of this country do?" Shen Mengting raised her chest high, and this sentence was naturally addressed to everyone present.

However, there are few exciting scenes in the house at present, and most people are still a little sluggish. Especially Chen Tianhao, this assassin has not said a word since he entered the barracks. In fact, in the more than ten days of hurrying before, he had become completely silent.

He really regretted it, maybe he didn't go to Qingse City with Shen Mengting at that time, and chose a place to live in seclusion, it seemed that he would have a better end.

"The generalissimo is not wrong to say this!" It was Wang Bin who answered, he still maintained a cat's waist and respectful movements, "We will also abide by your words!"

"Okay! There is no need to say flattering words! The reason why I, Shen Mengting, came today is to defend against the invasion of other countries! This is also the task given to me by the king and the officials there!" Shen Mengting's legs moved at this moment, and she seemed to be coming from a distance. However, after taking two or three steps, he retracted his legs.

She still had to stand on the map, because that was the key to the whole defense.

"By the way, Major General Wang Bin! There's a question I should have asked a long time ago!" Shen Mengting returned to the deepest part of the house. She came to the table that was placed here, and immediately put her hands on it. Her body leaned forward a little, and her front abdomen collided with the edge of the table, "How many troops do you have in the barracks?"
