There is still half a month before the expedition, and during this time, you can act on your own and prepare for war.

Since then, a long time has passed, and although there have been letters and exchanges, Yi Ye still plans to go to Fort Albuk to see his old friend Sancan. In addition to reminiscing about the past, you can also set some news. Yi Ye was temporarily separated from Fatis and Bestur, and went to different places to find out the news, but he still stayed with Kress.

"Well, then, let's do the parting, folks." Yi Ye held the war horse with one hand.

"Yi, please be sure to come back safely." Fatis said sincerely.

"That's called Ke or something, it's up to you to protect our heads." Bestur stepped forward to face Kress.

Kress nodded.

"Okay, don't waste time, in half a month, we'll meet here." Yi Ye spoke.

The crowd nodded.

Even if the army is divided into three, it still has a lot of combat effectiveness, Yi Ye picked a hundred elite cavalry, which is completely worthy of some field troops, two hundred cavalry spearmen from Fatis and two hundred cavalry archers from Bestur. Ordinary troops can't help them. Both Fatis and Bestur have experience leading teams, and it is a good idea to separate the troops. Besides, Yi Ye is not well-known, and it is very suspicious that he has so many troops with him inexplicably.

Not long after setting off, Yi Ye picked up the map and studied it, he noticed that this castle called Ismolola, this castle is located in the westernmost part of Vekia, guarding the border with the Nord Kingdom, and also guarding the road to the north of Vekia, it is a bridge, completely exposed to the view of this castle, and the entire bridge is within effective range. Strangely, to the north of Nord, Woche and Albuk Castle, which originally belonged to Nord, all rely on this bridge to connect the kingdom, and if this castle is not captured, the two cities will be difficult to liberate.

In order to cut corners, Yi Ye still had to go to Ismolola.

After only two days, the snow on the ground was up to his calves, and he was staggering, whether it was a man or a horse. Ahead was a white expanse, with no trace of pedestrians, not even living creatures except for the occasional snowbird. At this time, Yi Ye remembered a classic sentence "Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky." ”

Kress was still the same as before, gently hugging Yi Ye behind him, bringing a little warmth to his back.

"Bang!" A voice rang out, breaking the silence.

The horse then barked, and with a jolt, Yi Ye and Kress both fell off their horses, smashing a small crater in the ice.

Despite walking carefully, the horse broke through the ice with its front foot and sank in. It's still too heavy to ride two people.

"Cress, eat less in the future." Yi Ye pointed to the horse.

"Look how pitiful it is."

"Huh? What does it have to do with me, I weigh in the double digits. Kress blushed.

"yes, I can't see it." Yi Ye touched his chin and looked at her.

Kress turned his face to the side.

"Okay, okay, I see." Yi Ye helped her onto the horse. Then he signaled all the staff to dismount.

Fortunately, this time it was only the front foot that fell in, and if a large-scale collapse occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, one can see such a scene, a boy pulling a horse and walking in front, and immediately sitting a petite girl, followed by a troop, also pulling his own horse, walking in the white world, as if there was no purpose, just walking, walking.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, so the actual distance is very short, and at night, you don't have to think about it at all, so you obediently stop and light a fire.

But there is still a little benefit, that is, the snow washes away the usual odor, every piece of land here is stained with the smell of blood, including the smell of rotten corpses, the smell of feces and so on.

Stop-and-go, a little more than two days of travel took seven days to reach the destination.

These frontier castles are not very luxurious, and the quality is very average, and after the baptism of war, there are cracks everywhere in the castle, there are traces of swords, traces of catapults, and holes smashed by certain siege equipment. Makes the border castle of Elbuk look tattered. The only advantage is that it is high. This was necessary in order to defend against foreign invasions.

Because there was another battle not long ago, the lord Ruimad was afraid that Nord's people would sneak into the city, so the security here was relatively strict, but fortunately, Yi Ye had the pattern of his boss Muleza, and he could easily enter it. The pattern was a green-based jungle, with weapons on the ground and a snake passing by, and no one knew what that meant.

As soon as he entered the big city gate, he could see people lying or squatting on both sides, Yi Ye looked at the one closest to him, almost could not be described as a normal person, the dirty cotton clothes had a little black spots, which looked out of place on this pure white ground, his hair was very parted, scattered on his shoulders and chest, and he couldn't even distinguish his gender according to this, it could be seen from his forearms that were not much thicker than his fingers that he had been hungry for a long time. Yi Ye couldn't bear it, and he was about to hand over the bread in his pocket.

Kress stopped him.

"A few loaves of bread, not really." Yi Ye turned his head with a puzzled expression.

Seeing Cress's serious face, he withdrew his hand.

Further on, the situation was not much better, and there were many more wounded, the wounds were only wrapped in a few circles of cloth, and the blood continued to gush out, without exception, where they sit, was full of blood. This tragic scene shocked everyone, and the cruelty of war was far more terrible than imagined.

Yi Ye's whole heart hung up, he was worried about what the three cans were long and short, even if he said in the letter that there was no big problem.

After several twists and turns, Yi Ye found the tavern with three cans.

The tavern was so dilapidated that it could only be described as a latrine, with nothing more than a large patch of thatch propped up by wooden sticks. This is completely different from the last time Yi Ye came.

Lifting the front curtain, Yi Ye saw three cans at a glance, the flat nose and the full beard, he would never forget. Although there were no obvious wounds on him, the man had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were dull.

Just a few seconds later, the three cans looked at Yi Ye, showed a happy expression, immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, and trotted all the way towards Yi Ye, this "transformed" tavern was very small, and he walked in front of Yi Ye in a few steps.

"Yi Ye, you can be counted as here. Long time no see. Sancan held Yi Ye's hands and looked very enthusiastic.

"How has this time been, I don't think so." After Yi Ye approached him, the deep dark circles under his eyes were clearly visible.

"Indeed, this city."

"Ugh." Three cans sighed.

"Several times we Nords have invaded the city in a vain attempt to control the halls of the castle, but the lord has ordered it to be set on fire, poured oil on it, and sprinkled with asphalt. Although they were repulsed, the situation did not get better. Disease, famine, was prevalent in this castle. ”

Yi Ye clenched his fists.

"This is a practice that even the fierce Nords are afraid of......"

The two sat down on a small wooden bench with their arms in their hands. Yi Ye's men filled the tavern, and the rest of the people left first.

"Don't talk about that, you kid, you've been doing well lately." The three cans looked at the long swing chain mail and gauntlets on Yi Ye's body.

"Generally, it's just lucky, and I picked up a few big bargains." Yi Ye grinned and fooled over.

"Anyway, we two need to have a drink." The three cans were poured back and the wine glass was taken out.

"That's no problem, but let me say it first, I have a mission this time, but I can't drink too much, I have to be in moderation."

Kress, who was traveling with him, did not stay this time, because this time the time was tight and there was no room for delay.

Nord lost Fort Elbuk, and as expected, the main town of Woche to the north was cut off from all roads except the sea. The people there were poor, no better than the castle, the situation was terrible, and his subordinate villages were looted and their resources were emptied. It is said that a counteroffensive is already being prepared. The battle for Vino is about to begin.

After most of the day, Kress had gathered a lot of information, and it was late at night, so he went back to the tavern to see, needless to say, he was still drinking.

"Why did you come to this place? There is no good food, the wine is still inferior, you look at this glass, it is still leaking. One of Yi Ye's soldiers complained.

"That's it, even if the environment is poor, there are no beauties to see, it's really disappointing."

Yi Ye has heard a lot of complaints about this kind of complaint, but he has not pursued it, but this time it is different.

Yi Ye got up and walked towards the mouthy two, his face was hideous, his cheeks were slightly red, and before the two could explain, he picked up his right hand and hit one of them in the face with a left hook, flying half a meter away. This was followed by a knee kick to the other man's chest, and the crisp sound of broken ribs could be clearly heard.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, as if time had stood still, they stopped what they were doing, and their eyes focused on Yi Ye alone.

Kress immediately rushed in and tried to grab the angry Yi Ye, and the three cans got up, and the two of them pulled Yi Ye together. If you continue to fight like this, you can't die to blame.

The events of this night spread among this army, and everyone knew that this impoverished little boss could not be provoked, and they knew even more about the violent temper of this boss Yi.

Fortunately, Yi Ye usually treats them well, and it won't cause more contradictions, but the impression left is not very good.

The sun and the moon alternate, and rarely, the warm sun rises slowly.

The snow and ice on the streets melted a little, which was useless, but it was great news for the wounded soldiers lying on both sides of the road, and this little bit of sunlight helped them heal their wounds and let their frozen bodies gradually recover.

Since Kress had gathered enough information, Yi Ye only stayed for a day before preparing to leave, leaving them not much time, except for coming to Fort Elbuk to investigate, they had to go to other places.

The boss of the three cans seems to be much worse than before, and he collapsed after drinking not much. Until Yi Ye's departure, he was still asleep.

Before leaving, Yi Ye couldn't bear to wake him up from his sleep, so he just saluted him and turned to leave. Of course, he left behind enough supplies and dinars that would allow him to return to a decent life.
