Outside the Huaishui Pass, in the camp of the Riga army led by General Dino, Goatee, who had just returned from an envoy, was reporting to the commander of the army about the negotiations.

"According to you, this Anthony is frivolous and impatient, proud and belligerent, and does not want to make peace with us at all?"

General Dino frowned unconsciously when he heard what he said.

"Exactly."

The goatee has long since lost the arrogance and rudeness of the envoy just now, and his attitude is humble and respectful.

"I think that Anthony is in a high position at a young age, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. I don't know what **** luck I went, but I happened to defeat Schindler and General French, and I was even more arrogant and unstoppable. In my opinion, this young man should have some skills, but his weaknesses are also extremely obvious, and as long as we pay careful attention, it should not be difficult to deal with him. ”

General Dino groaned, noncommittal to his opinion.

"From what you've observed, what's the relationship between Anthony and Mattcias?"

Goatee thought for a moment and replied, "It should be that the appearance is detached, and the face and heart are not in harmony." Anthony advocated fighting to the end, while Matthias was more conservative and inclined to make peace with us. If it weren't for the fact that Matesias threw out the name of their king in the end, I am afraid that this negotiation would have been ruined by Anthony in the first place. ”

General Dino said: "Mattesias has been guarding all his life, and he has become accustomed to it. Now that people are old, their enterprising spirit should be almost exhausted. Anthony is just the opposite of him, flexible in his use of troops, extremely aggressive, and has won several battles, so he naturally wants to make another meritorious service. ”

He secretly compared to himself that Anthony was extremely aggressive, and obviously a little more dangerous. But Matt Sias defended rigorously and was impenetrable, and he couldn't help it after attacking for a year, but it gave him more headaches than Anthony.

"Matt Sias is a hardcore henchman supported by King Beckenbauer, who has guarded the gateway of the Brilliant Empire for decades, and deeply feels the trust of the King of the Brilliant Empire. Anthony may have only recently risen to prominence, but he is a brilliant talent, and Frankie has rated him as the greatest threat to the future of the Empire, which he must get rid of as soon as possible. With these two people, it will be at least twice as difficult for us to conquer the glorious empire. If there is a contradiction between them, it is the biggest good news for us, and we must make good use of it and make a big fuss about it. ”

General Dino made a simple analysis, but finally sighed.

"But this is a matter for the future, at least for a short time, the goal of building a glorious empire is impossible to achieve."

Goatee knew why he sighed lightly, and comforted: "With the ability of a general, even in the face of Mattias and Anthony, as long as you think slowly, I believe that you will be able to find a flaw and knock them all to the ground in one fell swoop." If it weren't for the situation at home, and His Majesty didn't want to make enemies on many sides and go to war everywhere, we wouldn't need to take the initiative to negotiate peace with the glorious empire. ”

General Dino waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll leave that for later." It is imperative that we do our best to facilitate the conclusion of a peace treaty, to temporarily end the war with the glorious empire, so as to free up our hands to deal with the so-called rebel army and restore the ****. But Anthony is not in favor of negotiations, and is afraid that he will be bent on preventing the destruction. We can't give him a handle and let him play on the subject. Just according to his wishes, pull out the camp and raise the village, and withdraw the camp back ten miles. As for the specific negotiations, it depends on how much effort you take to try to finalize the matter at the lowest cost. ”

The goatee bowed down and bowed deeply.

"Yes!"

……

The night was deep, there were no stars or moons in the dark sky, and the thick clouds pressed down, making people feel a little depressed and uneasy out of thin air.

From the afternoon, a light rain began to fall in the sky. At midnight, the rain was getting heavier. The icy night rain and the mud on the ground made anyone want to huddle into a warm room and sleep well with the quilt.

But not everyone could enjoy this simple happiness, and on the outskirts of the newly erected camp of General Dino's army, two soldiers in charge of guarding the sentry hid in a hollow in a tree, watching the drizzle and complaining.

"It's really unlucky that you have to come out to patrol and sentry in this hellish weather."

One of the fierce middle-aged soldiers, wiped a handful of mud and rain from his face, and said indignantly.

The other soldier was younger, with a little immaturity on his face.

"Boss, let's hide here from the rain and not patrol, isn't it? If you let the commander know, I'm afraid you will be beaten with a military stick. ”

"Shh

The middle-aged boss looked disdainful, but leaned lazily against the trunk of the tree.

"It's freezing now, and it's raining lightly, who else is going out of their way to catch our pigtails except for us two unlucky guys?"

"But ......"

The young soldier hesitated and was about to speak, when suddenly he seemed to hear a sound, and hurriedly put his head out of the hole in the tree and looked around vigilantly.

Soon after, he retracted into the hollow of the tree, apparently finding nothing. However, the head and face that had just been wiped clean were once again covered with rain.

"You kid just love to be blind and nervous, let me tell you, we are very safe here, and it doesn't matter if you patrol or not."

The boss squinted at him and said calmly.

The young soldier was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

The boss said, "Who do you say are our enemies?" ”

"Of course, it's the Brilliant Emperor ** team in Huaishui Pass." The young soldier replied as a matter of course.

"That's right, but the Glorious Empire is negotiating a truce with us, how could they take the initiative to attack us at this time."

The young soldier said worriedly: "Not necessarily, the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, who knows if they will quietly launch a sneak attack while talking." ”

The boss looked at him with a look of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

"If our two countries are reversed, and I, the Riga Empire, are negotiating and planning a sneak attack on them, then it is still possible. Just those people of the glorious empire? Do they dare? General Dino is willing to negotiate peace with them, and if they don't continue to attack Huaishui Pass, they should be thankful. ”

The young soldier opened his mouth, but still retorted: "The Brilliant Empire is not as weak as originally thought, don't say that the defenders of Huaishui Pass will not retreat in a desperate battle, we can't attack it after fighting for so long." I heard that they had another young general, who was very powerful, and in less than two months they put down the rebellion in the country. Even my Riga Empire, General French and Schindler, was in his hands. It's not impossible for such an opponent to do something. ”

The low-level soldiers in the army are not well-informed, but the high-level generals always have people close to them, and these close people also have their own good friends and henchmen, and their subordinates have subordinates. In this way, the battle situation in the Glorious Empire can also be known by small soldiers like young soldiers.

The boss can't refute the words of the juniors, so he can only support them.

"Well, this, across a Huaishui pass, who knows what the truth is. The general named Anthony is said to be less than twenty years old, about the same age as your kid, but he has great ability, do you think it's possible? According to Lao Tzu, don't be a glorious empire, these guys blow out a hero by themselves to boost morale. Although Frankie and the other two generals were defeated, they may not have anything to do with the so-called genius boy, but they just took the credit on him. ”

The young warrior did not agree, but he also did not know and had nothing to say.

The boss saw that the other party was calm, and quickly turned the topic away.

"Actually, Lao Tzu is sure that the glorious empire will not come, and this is not the main reason."

"Oh, what's the main reason for that?" The young warrior was really distracted and hurriedly asked.

The boss said: "I think that Anthony is belligerent, even if he doesn't measure himself, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be hot-headed and lead the troops to attack." ”

The young warrior said secretly, that's what I said.

Fortunately, it was dark at the moment, and it was even more difficult to see in the tree hole, and the boss didn't see his face.

"The Brilliant Empire has been pressed and beaten by us for so many years, and if there is a little ability, it will have already begun to fight back. We took the initiative to ask for peace, and even if they did not agree immediately, they had to think carefully and think about it for a long time. What kind of general and duke, no matter how powerful he is, he doesn't dare to make his own decisions, after all, he still has to report to their king, wait for the king's will, and then take action. In this way, there is no ten days and a half months, where can it be finished? ”

The young warrior nodded, and that was true.

"So, this time is the safest. Unless we take the initiative to attack, there will be absolutely no fighting. ”

The boss moved his body to make himself lie more comfortable, and continued to speak leisurely.

"Actually, you only have to look closely to know that the barricades, trenches, and other fortifications arranged on the periphery of this new camp are much rougher and more rudimentary than when we were camped in the past?"

When the young warrior thought about it, it was really like that. According to General Dino's old standards, this work would be punished for doing it like this.

"Boss, do you mean that everyone knows that no one will attack the camp, and it's raining and cold, so they're all lazy and just act like they're coping?"

"You just know?" The boss said angrily.

The young warrior was relieved, although he was still vaguely uneasy in his heart, but since everyone had relaxed their vigilance, what was the use of being careful and conscientious by himself?

Just as the young warrior forced himself to relax, he leaned lightly against the trunk of the tree. Suddenly, there was a tremor from under the buttocks.

The tremor was not intense, but the two lazy patrolmen jumped up, forgetting for a moment that they were still hiding in the hollow of the tree, and suddenly spun around, each with a large bag on their heads.

Groazed, he got up, got out of the hole in the tree, and looked out with his eyes wide open.

The rain was still heavy and far in sight. In the haze, they vaguely saw black shadows like hideous beasts, quickly rushing towards this side and approaching.

Enemy attack!

The two of them realized what it was in an instant, but before they could signal the camp, two long arrows cut through the rain curtain and pinpointed them to their throats.

As the young warrior fell, only a low, cold voice was heard.

"The whole army obeys the order, give up stealth, and go all out to assault!"

The boss was wrong, the glorious empire ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and brazenly launched an active attack!

It was the last thought that crossed the young warrior's mind.

……

The king of the Riga Empire frowned, and was worried about the folds on the table.

In recent years, the Riga Empire has fought in the north and south, conquering more than a dozen neighboring countries, and its military power is unparalleled for a while. However, it is easy to kill the army and conquer the city, but it is very difficult to make these countries truly part of the Riga Empire and recognize them as part of the Riga Empire.

The Riga Empire is beautiful on the surface, but the old forces of these countries raise the banner of restoration from time to time, ups and downs, and make the imperial team exhausted. To make matters worse, even the original subjects of the empire were dissatisfied with the king's years of warfare. According to local officials, mysterious organizations of unknown origin have been found in many places, and it seems that they are plotting to rebel and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the king.

If it weren't for that, the king would not have gone against the norm and took the initiative to ask for peace talks after losing the first battle of the glorious empire.

Now I only hope that General Dino's side can speed up the process of peace talks, so that they can meet as soon as possible and solve the internal problems of the empire.

When the country is stable, we will definitely raise an army again and level the glorious empire in one fell swoop!

The king thought hatefully, but at this moment he only hoped that General Dino would come back quickly. To this end, the king has authorized him to make considerable concessions in the peace talks.

Anyway, if the glorious empire eats it, sooner or later it will have to spit out even the principal interest. Hum!

"Your Majesty, the Western Front Military Emergency!"

An official hurried in, his face unconcealed with panic.

The king's face sank, and he reached out to take the urgent report and unfolded it.

“…… On the night of the peace talks, the defenders of Huaishui Pass took advantage of the rainy night to attack the camp, and the Western Army was defeated and the whole army was annihilated! Coach General Dino was only spared ......"

The king's hands trembled, and he could barely hold a fluttering letter. His face turned red instantly, and his eyes widened. Suddenly, with a wow, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty......"

"Pass the imperial doctor, pass the imperial doctor quickly!"

Inside the Imperial Palace of Riga, there was chaos.
