The sun is warm and bright, and the breeze is blowing slowly, with a little coolness, but it does not make people feel cold.

On the school field not far away, the soldiers had already gotten up early and trained for a long time under the leadership of the officer. The sound of horns, passwords, and shouts echoed throughout the Huaishui Pass fortress, but it made people feel so relieved and quiet.

There was silence in the spacious room, save for the occasional rustle of the pages of a book.

Princess Arlina was lying comfortably on a chaise longue, holding a magic book in her hand, studying it attentively.

She frowned from time to time, for some incomprehensible question; Sometimes rejoice, for the occasional gain in the heart. But every once in a while, she would look up at the window to the side.

There, Anthony sat casually on the windowsill, holding a thick book in his hand, flipping it leisurely.

As long as she saw this sunny boy who looked like the boy next door, Princess Arina felt a sense of relief. It seems that no matter what troubles, sorrows, difficulties and pressures, this young man who has captured the princess's heart can help her carry it down and solve it.

It's like forced marriage and oppression in the Riga Empire.

Princess Yalina's eyes are gentle, affectionate, light and weightless, but they seem to be as heavy as a mountain. Anthony didn't look up, but he could feel it clearly.

As an imperial princess, Arlina didn't really need to follow the army.

If it is said that the initial dispatch of troops to Taranto to quell the rebellion is related to the entanglement between Yalina and the waste prince of the Riga Empire, she went on the expedition together to contribute to this matter. Now that the Glorious Empire has been calm, and the relationship between the two empires has long exceeded the boundaries of princesses and princes, there is no need for Arina to worry about the original marriage contract.

It's just that everyone knows that Her Royal Highness the princess does not follow the army, but only the general.

Princess Arina is generous, and she does not deliberately hide her affection.

Just for the tenderness and sweetness of the princess, Anthony must also redouble his efforts to solve problems for the future father-in-law.

Don't look at him as laid-back, in fact, Anthony's time is full, and every day is very fulfilling.

The army doesn't need him to worry too much, although Tang Feng doesn't talk much, he is patient and meticulous, and he is a rare deputy. As long as Anthony gives an order, Tang Feng can handle things properly.

Especially in the reorganization and training of the army, Anthony passed on to Tang Feng the training method that combined the advantages of the two world military formations. The latter was like a treasure, and he was full of interest and went to experiment with the soldiers below. I believe that it will not be long before this army is officially unveiled in front of the world, and it will definitely shock the entire continent.

Anthony, the imperial general, was a bit "unprofessional", and threw all the things of the boss to Tang Feng, but he was busy cultivating.

Because he calculated clearly in his heart, he had cultivated the top technique of the other world, "Mixed Yuan Returning to One Gong", and his future really had the possibility of being one against ten thousand.

Even at the current stage of cultivation that is not high, the role he can play alone is much greater than that of an elite army.

For example, the armor against the sky on the three hundred guards, and the healing pill that has been rumored to be a "miracle medicine" in the army.

Because of this, Anthony practiced day and night, and none of the alchemy, refining, and formation were pulled down. Even sleep has been replaced by meditation and practice. After more than a month, he was pleased to find that the bottleneck in the later stage of refining and refining gas had actually begun to loosen.

After more than half a year, Anthony's cultivation realm once again saw an opportunity to break through.

The four realms of cultivation: refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to the void, and refining the void and merging the way, Anthony is only in the lowest refining and refining qi realm, and the difficulty of cultivating and improving in the other world can be seen.

But once you break through the bottleneck and step into a new stage and a new realm, no matter your own strength or available means, there will be earth-shaking changes, as if you have changed a person.

If you can enter the late stage of refining and refining qi, what will it be like? Anthony is looking forward to it.

Pedal pedal pedal ~

A sound of footsteps approached the room, from far to near. From the unclosed door, a dignified old man turned in.

"It's hard for me to be old, and I'm still running up and down. You kid is leisurely, sitting here reading a book, tsk, and beautiful women. Is there still a heavenly principle in this world? ”

The old man sat on a wide chair and shouted loudly without any image and demeanor, it was none other than Grand Duke Mattesias.

Princess Arina's face was slightly red, but she stood up with a smile on her face and saluted, "Uncle Mattesias." ”

The Duke wields the most powerful military in the empire - the word "was" is now added - and is an absolute confidant of King Beckenbauer, and he is naturally very familiar with Princess Arlina and other members of the royal family. The Duke's beloved daughter, Janice, is even better friends with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and once asked the Hilton family for perfume to give to Arina.

Anthony and the old duke were both angry with each other, and the duke was very arrogant in front of him, and the young man would not be polite to him, and his eyes still fell on the book in his hand, and he did not raise his head.

"Didn't we say it early, you are familiar with the Huaishui Pass Fortress, and it is naturally your old man who commands the defensive battle to take care of more. If I intervene rashly, not only will I not be able to help, but I may leave the troops at a loss and not know who to listen to. ”

The Grand Duke shifted to make himself sit more comfortably.

"I naturally know this, but looking at your kid's idleness, I get angry with the old man. Hum! ”

In fact, the Grand Duke knew very well that Anthony was definitely not as idle and idle as he said. However, he knew all day long that he was busy cultivating, but he didn't pay much attention to taking care of the army. Fortunately, Tang Feng, who has recently emerged under him, is solid and diligent, and he has taken care of everything. Otherwise, Grand Duke Mattesias would have doubted that the army he brought with him would be in chaos.

"It's strange to say, you kid is bent on being a hands-off shopkeeper, but the soldiers below are not convinced by your worship of the great general. When you weren't here, Marquis Marco's group kept shouting, 'If the Great General was here,' and complained about my old man's conservatism. Now that you have come, the general, not only continue to shrink, but also ignore the training and combat of the troops. Instead of being discouraged, those generals gave you a reason: when Schindler's army of 20,000 miles was annihilated, the general also led us to chase and flee with the enemy, and never engaged us head-on. It's the same now, it's just to paralyze Dino's army outside the city. When the time comes, as soon as the general makes a move, it will inevitably be a thunderous blow and a success. ”

The Grand Duke sighed, both amazed and puzzled.

"They are justified on the left and right, and they are really unconvinced. Of course, let them become fanatical worshippers like believers, and my old man admires you kid even more. ”

For the faint split in the army into two factions, Grand Duke Mattosias was quite worried in his heart.

The distinction between factions and camps among politicians in the court can also be said to be a check and balance on each other and maintain the stability of the supreme ruler's power, which can barely be regarded as a positive significance. However, in the army, factional struggle can only drag each other back, increase internal friction, delay action, and miss out on fighters...... In short, there are all kinds of harms and no benefits.

While the Grand Duke was racking his brains to think of a countermeasure, Anthony came. He didn't even make any moves, just gave an explanation, and let the Grand Duke continue to command the army. Marquis Marco and other generals of the foreign faction immediately complied and did not say a word.

The Duke could see that they were genuinely obedient and had no doubts. I believe that the general's arrangement must have a deep meaning, and they don't need to delve into it, as long as they follow the order.

As he said, if you don't accept it, you can't do it!

The spirit of the army is cohesive, the training is also fruitful, and it is seen that a strong army is slowly forming a form.

Outside Huaishui Pass, the offensive of the Riga army slowed down again. It seems that the general's banner planted at the head of the city exerts infinite power, so that General Dino is also afraid and does not dare to attack recklessly.

This kid!

Grand Duke Mattesias squinted his eyes and sighed in his heart as he looked at the young general who was still looking down at his book. This guy seems to have a kind of magic in him, not only can any difficulties fall into his hands smoothly, but even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he exists, the situation will inexplicably become favorable.

It's not luck anymore, it's luck.

"Actually, what they said is not wrong."

Anthony still didn't raise his head, and said indifferently.

Grand Duke Mattesias was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly stood up from his seat, greatly excited.

"You kid mean that you are ready to take the initiative to send troops and counterattack?"

The Duke was known for his rock-solid defenses, and was the only commander of Antony's previously glorious empire. But as a soldier, who doesn't have a lot of blood, who wants to be defensive and defensive all his life, only to be beaten and not fight back?

It's just that the Duke knows his own affairs, and he is good at defending him, and he really has no bottom in his heart to take the initiative to attack. All the chips that the glorious empire can use have been concentrated in the Huaishui Pass, if the battle is fruitless, but the army is lost and the army is thrown outside the Huaishui Pass, then he Mattsias is the sinner of the empire.

He couldn't afford to take this risk, and he didn't dare to take it.

But Anthony was different, he was agile and sharp, and the Grand Duke believed that he could do what he could not do.

Anthony finally looked up, and there was surprise in his eyes.

"If there is a great opportunity, of course, it is necessary to take the initiative to attack and strive to defeat the enemy army in a battle, will the Grand Duke just let it go?"

"The perfect opportunity?"

The Grand Duke sat back down disappointed, feeling that the boy was entertaining his old man.

"Where are the great opportunities? General Dino is strict with his troops, and the Riga army is well-trained, so how can he leave a big flaw for us to exploit. ”

Anthony finally closed the thick book in his hand and looked at Grand Duke Mattsias.

"The Riga Empire, though powerful, is not invulnerable, and the Duke is overly pessimistic. Not to mention the Riga army led by General Guanwai Dino, even the Riga Empire, known as the Tiger and Wolf, in my opinion, is only fierce on the surface, but it has fatal flaws on the inside. As long as you find the key to it, plus a certain amount of luck and opportunity, it is not impossible to overthrow it in one fell swoop. ”

Grand Duke Mattesias looked at him stunned, seeing his calm and breezy appearance, but with words that could scare people to death, he didn't know how to feel for a while.

While everyone was still struggling to resist the invasion of the Riga Empire, the young man's eyes had already skimmed over the Dino army outside the gate and threw himself into the territory of the Riga Empire.

This mind, this spirit, this vision.

The Grand Duke had to sigh from the bottom of his heart, although he had been a horse all his life, and he could be a young grandfather at his age, he was indeed far inferior to the other party.

"What fatal flaw?"

Lord Duke muttered.

Anthony patted the book in his hand lightly: "The answer is in this book." ”

The Grand Duke's spirit was shocked, and he looked at it according to his words.

He thought that the boy was reading something like a magic book, but it turned out to be information closely related to the war situation and the Riga Empire, and he had misunderstood him before. It's just that the mighty Riga Empire actually has a fatal flaw, and it is recorded in a book? Will there be such a book? Where did Anthony get it from?

The Grand Duke's head was full of questions, and when he saw the big characters on the cover of the tome, he instantly turned into anger.

"Invincible: The Road to the Rise of the Riga Empire"

This is the fatal flaw of the Riga Empire? This is the ultimate secret to defeat the Riga Empire?!

This kind of book that glorifies the Riga Empire will not exist in the glorious empire, and it is difficult for Anthony to find it without knowing where to find it, and he still relish it.

I really misjudged him! Hum!

As much hope as there is, there is as much disappointment as there is, Grand Duke Mattesias was indeed angry this time, and his face was very ugly.

Anthony looked at him, but remained unmoved, and his tone was leisurely.

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. Only by understanding and analyzing why the opponent is so strong can we grasp the key points and kill the enemy with one blow. ”

The Duke was slightly furious, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Listen to that...... There is also a little bit of truth.

But what kind of fatal flaw or something like that, it must be Anthony's nonsense and deception of the old man's feelings.

was about to open his mouth to question, when suddenly a person rushed in outside the door, and he was inexplicably excited.

"General, Grand Duke, there are people outside Huaishui Pass who ask to see you. He claimed to be an envoy sent by the king of the Riga Empire to discuss with the adults about the cessation of hostilities between the two countries. ”
