Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Crystal snowflakes flutter in the wind like catkins, mountains, rivers and fields, towns and rivers, and continuous white snow decorate the world, and the glitz and hustle and bustle of the past fade between heaven and earth, leaving pure white and silence in the air.

The snow fell for a long time, and the wind blew harder.

The time when Earl Heather was scheduled to lead his army to the expedition had to be delayed, and anyone who was on the road in the snowy weather knew the danger, even if Earl Heather was a ruthless man, he would not joke with the lives of his soldiers.

The timing of the war was really well chosen.

In this regard, the Earl of Heather could not help but sigh at the schemes of Viscount Faratt.

Winter is not suitable for the development of war, this is the common sense that everyone who is familiar with the military is clear, the influence of climate and natural disasters, morale and military supplies have caused the difficulty of winter war, so every early winter to early summer, the noble lords of Sisinia seem to have a convention to rest and fight, and this time is often the most peaceful period in Sissinia.

The war stopped, the mercenaries rested; The caravan was rested, and the robbers had no business. Cities and towns have ushered in a rare bustle and bustle, pubs and restaurants, and noisy crowds can be seen everywhere.

However, there are those who are unable to enjoy this temporary peace.

"There is an urgent military situation from the Eagle Letter on the front, three days ago, Viscount Frank suddenly launched a surprise attack on Sloan by Diorda and Ulson at the same time, according to the judgment of the supreme commander stationed in Sloan, Grundale, Sloan, who is now empty of troops, can only hold them back for ten days at most."

The roaring fire of the fireplace warmed the solemn study, and Opred read the contents of the folded parchment in his hand, and stared solemnly at his father, who was silent at the desk.

"Tell Glendale that the front line is starting to crumble and burn all the towns and supplies along the way when you evacuate!"

Earl Heather clenched his fists and his brow furrowed. It was as if a big decision had been made.

"Father!!" Overred looked shocked and said, "You are burying the entire Sloane!" Even if we win the war, Khsloan will be a wasteland, and the people there will hate us forever! Is it worth paying such a heavy price?! ”

"War is a game of unscrupulous means, and if you want to win, then you must be prepared to give up your chances!" Earl Heather said solemnly.

"Will Commander Glendale follow your orders?"

Overred was silent and would not refute. He asked after a moment.

"Glendale is the most disciplined soldier I have ever commanded, and he will follow my will. That's something I've never doubted. Earl Heather said quietly.

"According to the prediction of the Military Staff, with Viscount Farrant's long-planned offensive, it will only take a month at most to reach Cantland, and the fastest is expected to be twenty-two natural days." Overred breathed a sigh of relief and shifted the conversation back to business.

"Twenty-two calendar days? There should still be time. Earl Heather looked at the silver white outside the window and muttered, "How is the current troop build-up?!" ”

"Cantland's Silver Shield Legion has gradually completed the regrouping of the soldiers withdrawn from the Sloan front. The Silver Cross and the First Knights stationed on the Ebranro side were on standby. Overred said.

"What about Togledo?" Earl Heather tapped on the table.

"Togredo's forces are a little slower, and it will take about four or five natural days to assemble." Overred said.

"With the strength of the Second Knights under your command, it should be enough for you to resist the sneak attack of Viscount Duda, right?!" Earl Heather asked.

"Don't worry, old fellow! When the time comes, I will definitely bring the head of Viscount Duda to you! Overred sneered.

"That's fine."

Earl Heather nodded expressionlessly and said, "Speaking of which, you've met Derrank. Xia Lan didn't?! ”

"I visited him yesterday evening, but unfortunately I didn't see him." Overred wondered, "What's wrong?" Are you still doubting and worrying?! ”

"Not suspicion, but concern." Earl Heather said lightly.

"Concern?! It's unbelievable to say something like that. Overred scoffed.

"Paying such a huge price for the essence of life, it is difficult for anyone to be calm." Earl Heather said.

"Are you worried that he won't succeed in reaching the strength you expected?!" Overred said.

"Yes." Earl Heather snorted coldly and said, "You and I both know that the key to this war lies on the side of Viscount Frank, and the brunt is Bai Cizer, the enemy who has given us countless painful experiences. If we still don't have the ability to contend with Baizeze, we've lost half of the war from the start. ”

I recall the sight of a tall figure leading the cavalry to an unstoppable charge, no matter how hard you try, you can't stop their unbridled attack, this deep despair will make people completely lose their will to fight, because the battle is like a two-dimensional world, you never know where to defeat the other side.

Overred sighed in his heart, but he never threw in the towel before setbacks. Regrouping his mind, he said, "Don't forget that he was the one who killed DeWitt himself, and I believe that his strength will not disappoint us." ”

"The outcome of his head-on battle with DeWitt is unpredictable, if it weren't for the sneak attack of the strong crossbow secretly arranged, otherwise he might not have been able to kill DeWitt." Earl Heather said with great reason.

"But at least he killed him." Overred still insisted.

"Offred, I'm curious about something, and I want you to answer me."

Earl Heather stared at Overred with strange eyes, "Why do you believe in him?!" Don't deceive me, child, I know your nature, and you, who have inherited my bloodline, have always been suspicious by nature. And you never trust someone for no reason, even the closest and most trusted Groan by your side. ”

"Do you see that?" Overred said with a natural expression: "Actually, my trust in him is only based on a certain person. ”

"Who is it?!"

"Someone you already know."

"You're talking about the woman?"

"What other woman besides her?"

In the face of Overlet's straightforward showdown, Count Heather sighed slightly in surprise: "When did you start showing her identity?!" ”

"When the group fled from Telalo City." Overred said.

"Channel!" Earl Heather suddenly said with a cold face.

"Secret."

Overred just smiled, even though he smelled a threat in his father's body.

"Sooner or later, you'll inherit the lordship of Rodeway."

The two faced off for a long time, and the Earl of Heather was the first to break the balance.

"I know. I deserved it. Overred said lightly.

"It's yours and it's naturally yours, but it's not yours, I won't give it, you can't grab it." A cold light flickered in Earl Heather's deep eyes.

"You're my father, I'm your son, that's all." Overred said calmly.

Earl Heather closed his eyes, his chest was soothed, and after a while, he opened his eyes: "Be careful of playing with fire**!" ”

"I just want to finish the road you haven't walked, it's so simple."
