Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Discovery of the Abandoned House

The reason why Albert and others had to retreat from the South Gate. It is completely due to the current situation, because the west is the Mangtunkou of Kentan, the north is a steep and impassable tall mountain range, and although the east can directly lead to the imperial capital Xisa City, but the Duke of Kentan's heavy troops are stationed there, it is impossible to break through successfully, only the south is the only gap that can be worked, and this gap is actually deliberately set aside by Duke Kentan. He has long had a full and sober understanding of this great battle against the empire. Only by letting the undercurrents of the entire empire spontaneously erupt can he be sure of the final victory. Xiao A and the others have no inextricable grievances with himHe is willing to make a gesture so that everyone in the world knows that he is only targeting the emperor's family, and will not kill innocents indiscriminately. He is invisibly increasing the pressure on the emperor's side. Because the death of the old Duke Borot has long been doomed, Xiao A will one day have a showdown with Deliot. and the matter of blocking the emperor is what the Grand Duke of Kentan is most willing to do. He will not be stupid to the point of being used as a gun by the emperor. After all, in the south, apart from the wild mountains, there are some uninhabited ruins, and although the Tamborance Empire nominally governs there, it does not actually carry out any sub-feudalism, and no nobles or lords have taken the initiative to cultivate their sphere of influence there.

At the time of the world war between the 'elvies' and the dwarves, as well as the civil war between the east and the west of the 'elves' spirits, this area was once the focus of contention. It is the best place for all the fugitives and evil magicians of the Tamborance Empire to live, because there is no political jurisdiction or religious bondage, ordinary people do not come here, caravans do not choose to pass here, the soil here is very unsuitable for farming, and the plants that can survive here have some particularly amazing abilities.

If the vegetation cover of the whole Taiping Mountain can be likened to a thick curly hair, then the southern foot of the mountain gradually shows a sign of baldness, and the further south you go, the more distinct it becomes, until it is completely slippery.

A famous archaeologist of the Tamborance Empire once examined this phenomenon with tens of thousands of words of paper, and he collected a lot of convincing evidence, and through a variety of hypotheses, he came to an almost incontrovertible conclusion: that this barren and barren land was once a green and vibrant place, but a certain general of the 'elf' spirit clan was needed for war. His dissertation was widely accepted by the Empire, but there were also discerning bureaucrats who immediately pointed out his racist tendencies and naïve thinking that he had no regard for the bigger picture. How can you slander the other party in such a way? Even if it is a fact, you must deal with it with the attitude of turning a big thing into a small thing. How can you publish it so stupidly? These things are not suitable for ordinary people to watch at all, nor are they suitable for circulation and discussion.

Albert and the others are now facing such a place, although they and General Iros agreed to meet near the Taiping Mountain, but as soon as the cautious Taren Crawford left the city, he immediately pointed out that the foot of the mountain was not suitable as a place to stay for a long time, because it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no ambush on the mountain.

He put the remnants of the Duchy of Borot in the open and barren land, quietly and calmly waiting for the arrival of General Iros. The young duke, though angry, had no intention of seizing the power of the Tarun.

Claudia now shared a carriage with Lady Charlotte and Cosette, and they were the only 'females' who could enjoy this treatment.

The defenders of Birti did not go with Claudia, because they were so few in number, and no matter which side they went to, they would not be able to make any climate, and most of their families were in the city.

When the sun was about to set in the west, General Iros, his necromancers, and others rushed over with a dejected expression. They were 'confused' by the magical army of Kentan, especially the necromancer had hoped that his resurrection of the undead could turn the tide, but he didn't expect that there were so many talents in the opposing camp, and he easily cracked his 'mystery' dream.

The Imperial Guards had also lost their former pride, fearing that they would be sent to a forced labor camp by the murderous Emperor when they returned to the imperial capital.

As soon as Iros came up, he grumbled stupidly, "The terrain here is so open, and if the other party pursues us, won't we be swept away?"

"It's good to garrison the Taiping Mountain, but if Kentan has an ambush beforehand, our fate will be worse than here." Without hesitation, Tarun retorted to the bearded general, paused slightly, and then proceeded to the point: "For the sake of prudence, we must continue south, and after a hundred miles, we will consider turning back east."

"But why is this, is it because they are afraid that they will not be able to capture us in the east?"

"The general is right, but the more important thing is that there will be enough time lag to allow the emperor to think clearly about the key to the problem, and not to be hot-headed and send us to the guillotine."

"Damn, Bird Emperor, if he dares to do this, we will go up and smash his palace and chop down his chair, and see if he dares to continue to be arrogant." Kagun's eyes widened in anger, his teeth crunched.

Tarun ignored him, and continued to say to the crowd: "Since the Cortése Neo has ignored the will of his Pope Pisius, and instead of helping us in the crusade against the traitors, he has joined the enemy camp in a fit of rage. We can immediately draw up a letter and send it to the imperial capital of Sisa, describing the situation in detail. Of course, the focus must be on the matter of Neo's rebellion. I will write the specific details. We can discuss it together. We must make the emperor believe that it is Neo, the inner ghost, who has broken our whole pot of soup. He not only made Raeder abduct Queen Isabella, but also made the city defense of Bilti City empty. Not only did he 'hand' over all the Cortés under his command. He handed it over to the commander of Kentan, and quietly brought the rebel Grand Duke to the east 'gate' of the city of Birti, causing a grave situation of attack from both sides......

Iros, like the others, admired Talen's resourcefulness, but he couldn't help but interrupt his gushing words: "Of course your ideas are good, but His Majesty the Emperor is not a fool.

"The general is right.This emperor is a great man.Of course he doesn't just listen to us.But he doesn't have any better way to find out the real news.He has to go outside and settle inside.That's something that the people of the whole empire know very well.Although I have never met him in person.But the emperor's previous actions are not difficult to deduce what he might do now.He is a man who will never trust a traitor.He is also a man who is willing to make sacrifices when he wants to have something important in his heart.Neo is the traitor.And we are the ones he can tolerate.Because there is a priority in everythingNo one can eat a big fat man at once.The emperor has already made a lot of noise at the banquet celebrating the reconquest of the holy city of Roma.And the old Duke Borot has been killed by a mob under his nose.These things have only been long in the past.He will definitely not attack us easily.Boiled frogs in warm water, I don't know it, if I had been roasted by a fierce fire as soon as I came up, I guess I would have scared the timid people away, and it would have made those lords and nobles who had already had the intention of rebelling secretly step up their alliance. I didn't regard the general as an outsider. That's why I told the truth like this. I also hope that the general will not play too much of your own little calculations."

Talen's words made everyone present feel dripping and happy, and his analysis was reasonable, especially the boiled frog in warm water, and the sentence of dying, which made Albert have to applaud.

General Iros had a pimple in his heart, because the death of Lao Bao was more or less indirectly related to him, and he took Talen's last sentence as a warning, and he couldn't help but fight a cold war.

"It's getting late, and it looks like we're going to have to camp with dew." Everyone was talking about it.

The necromancer under General Beard shook his head unexpectedly, and he smiled slightly and pointed to a dark spot in front of him, "There are obvious traces of magic in there, maybe it's a good place to live."

"I hate tricksters." Shorty Kegan and Thief Best hook up again, and they complain almost in unison.

The eyes of the 'elf' Lingcris were also very sharp, and he agreed with the necromancer's statement: "The 'dew' camp is not a very good choice in this wilderness after all, since it is possible to find a place to live in the past people, why not try it."

"What if there's a fraud." Adrian asked.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse, it's in the dark, we're in the light, and since we can all see it, doesn't it notice us, and if there's any evil, there's only one way left to meet each other."

'Desire' knows what it is, and listens to the next breakdown.
