When they returned to the avant-garde city, Psyche, Andrew, and Ian were already waiting.

I looked at a middle-aged man behind Lingphanta and asked Lingphant:

"Isn't this the cavalry captain of your Marina City?"

The middle-aged man, I've seen, was the cavalry captain who followed Psychic when he went to Marina City last time to solve the Sacred Lake incident. It's just that I don't know his name yet.

Psychic nodded in confirmation.

The captain of the cavalry stepped forward, knelt down on one knee to Lia, and said:

"Captain of the Marina City Cavalry, Cole Gladstone, see Her Majesty."

Liya said "um", and I said to him:

"Get up."

He stood up and bowed to me again:

"I've seen Generalissimo Chen."

I asked him, "Did Lord Haydn send you to pick up the spirit back?" ”

He clenched his fists again and said, "My lord, it's not like that. ”

Then he took out two more letters from his bosom and handed them to me.

"The city lord sent me here, first, to confirm the current situation of the eldest lady, and secondly, to ask his subordinates to hand over these two letters to the marshal."

A letter to me?

I took two letters, one of which was written by Lord Haydn, and I opened this one first.

The main content is that the lord of Haydn has learned that Mig killed King Ute and plotted rebellion, and at the same time expressed his support for our army, claiming that Marina City will fully support Liya to inherit the throne. Finally, he mentions that Mistress Middell had prepared Marina City for this to happen a long time ago.

When the second letter was opened, there was still an envelope inside, but it had already been opened.

When he took out the letter inside, it turned out to be a letter written by Midel to the lord of Haydn, which was relatively early.

"Haydn, the servant next to Chen Yingying, Qiuyue Liya Hilfer is His Majesty's biological daughter, and she is the first heir to the throne. However, if His Majesty announced that the heir to the throne would be changed to Akizuki Liya, it would inevitably lead to a resurgence of MiG's dissent, and the battle for the throne would lead to a big war, which would lead to a whirlpool of chaos. ”

"The master has sent someone to assassinate Liya Akizuki, and if he succeeds and kills him before his identity is revealed, the kingdom will continue to be stable. If not, His Majesty will definitely announce that the throne will be passed on to Autumn Moon Liya, and in this way, MiG will rebel. At that time, His Majesty's wish will be fulfilled and His Royal Highness will assist Her Highness Liya to ......"

"You have asked the kingdom several times to send troops to solve the problem of Marina City, and this is the right time. I will first suggest to Your Majesty that Chen Yingying be sent to Marina City to deal with this matter. At that time, you ask Chen Yingying to find a way to recruit the pig people and the fish people into Coastal City, in case the assassination plan of the division fails, and the kingdom falls into division again, the warriors of the two races are stronger than the Terran soldiers, and they can be reinforcements to help Chen Yingying eliminate the MiGs. ”

"In addition, the four cities of Butenia, Nobis , Midhead, Kiel and some of the villages and towns attached to them are loyal to Your Majesty, and they are the forces secretly cultivated by the division, and they can unite the lords of the four cities to fight against the MiG and destroy the rebels......"

In this way, Midl is really loyal to King Ute. It turned out that he had expected the current situation a long time ago, and secretly made arrangements, and even my trip to Binhai City was arranged by him, with two purposes. One is to try to find an opportunity to send someone to assassinate Riya, and the other is to subdue the two humanoid races in order to strengthen the power against MiG in the future.

I have a rough idea of the two letters.

I did not tell anyone what was going on in the letter, because the safety of several cities was at stake, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Presumably, MiG didn't know that those cities were Medel's power.

After calling the soldiers to carry dozens of sacks to the city treasury and sending heavy troops to guard them, I led everyone to the camp tent of the Chinese army.

Opening the map of the kingdom on the desk, I confirmed the location of several cities. The city of Kiel is next to the City of Mercenaries, and the other three cities are located to the east. Among them, out of the royal capital to the east is the city of Nobbys, and there is only a day's journey between the two.

After looking at the map, I wrote two more letters, and when I had sealed them, I exclaimed:

"General Ian."

"The last general!"

"General Yin En led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Highland City."

Ian looked embarrassed and said:

"My lord, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid ......"

Andrew also said:

"My lord, only 10,000 soldiers and horses are indeed not enough to attack Highland City, why don't you let me lead the army to Highland City with Ian, what do you think?"

I said, "General Andrew has another mission, and General Ian won't be alone. ”

Then I looked at Ian, picked up the two letters, and said:

"After General Ian arrives at Highland City, there is no need to rush to attack the city, first secretly send someone close to hand over this letter to the lord of Kiel City in the north of Highland City, who will help you, and then bring another letter and 100,000 gold coins to Mercenary City to hire an army, and then the three armies will surround Highland City and persuade him to surrender."

Andrew stood up and said:

"My lord, our army's military spending is insufficient. At present, there are still arrears owed to many landlords in the city, and it is really impossible to come up with 100,000 gold coins, and besides, 100,000 gold coins may not be enough to hire an army. ”

"General Andrew, please sit down," I said, "As for the issue of military expenses, I have settled it, and the 100,000 gold coins are only the initial payment for the mercenaries, and as for the final payment, of course, it will be paid later." ”

"In addition, the arrears of those landlords are temporarily owed."

Then I looked at Ian again and said:

"In a while, General Ian can go to the city treasury to receive 100,000 gold coins."

"Yes!"

General Andrew led 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the city to defend against enemy forces that could attack at any time. Questions? ”

"The last will do his best." Andrew paused and asked, "I just don't know what the marshal wants?" ”

"General Psychic and I led the rest of the men east to attack the city of Black Mor. General Andrew defended the avant-garde city, and if he could defend it, if the enemy army was too strong to defend, he led the soldiers and horses in the city to the west to join General Ian. ”

"Yes!"

After the arrangement, Andrew and Ian exited the camp, leaving Liya, Psyche, and Chunhua Qiuyue behind.

"Liya, you're going to have to travel a long way again, and you're going to have to work hard for a while."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of getting tired."

Psychic looked surprised and asked:

"Is Your Majesty coming with us?"

Liya said angrily:

"Sister Lingphant, they all say that when there are no outsiders, just call me Liya."

The illusion looked embarrassed and replied:

"After all, this is still a courtesy of a monarch and a minister."

As she spoke, she quietly glanced at the four of Spring Flower and Autumn Moon.

I also quietly glanced at the spring flowers and autumn moon, and then said to the spirit:

"Liya is right, in a situation like now, there is no need to see outsiders like this."

My meaning should be very clear, although Chunhua Qiuyue was sent by King Ute to protect Liya, but they are not outsiders, after all, they are Liya's personal guards, and Liya also calls them sisters.

Lingphanta hesitated for a moment and said:

"Okay then."

Immediately, she asked again:

"Leah is also going east with us to Black Mor City?"

"That's right." I explained: "At present, we don't have many soldiers and horses, and we need soldiers and horses on both the east and west roads, so we can't leave a large army to defend the city on this side of the avant-garde city, and it is very unsafe for Liya to stay here, so it is better to go east with us." ”

Linghuanxiu frowned slightly, and said, "But is it safe to attack Black Mor City with us?" Excluding the 10,000 men and horses of General West Road Ian and General Andrew, who guarded the avant-garde city, we only have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it may not be easy to capture the city of Black Mor. ”

"Don't worry," I looked around at the four of them again, and then said to the Spirit: "The reason why I want to conquer Black Mor City is because in addition to the royal capital, Black Mor City is another way to Marina City......

"Marina City?" Psychic and incomprehensible.

"That's right, Marina City." I explained, "Your father, Lord Haydn, has expressed his support for us, and I want to join him in Marina City. In addition, to the south of Black Moore is Butnia, which is the power cultivated by Lord Middel and will support us when the time comes. When we reach Hemor, we can first go to Butnia, and then lead the defenders of Hemor out, and the two armies will encircle and suppress them outside the city. ”

"Oh, I see." Ling imagined for a moment, and then guessed, "Then according to you, Kiel City is also the power that Lord Middel cultivated during his lifetime?" ”

"yes, you're smart."

Lingphant's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head and whispered:

"It's fine."

By the way, if the army attacks to the east, it will be difficult for Andrew's 10,000 soldiers and horses to hold the avant-garde city, and those gold coins and diamonds are not safe here, so it is better to leave them to Nilou for safekeeping.

I found Nilou in the evening, and sent another group of soldiers to carry most of the sacks, leaving only two bags of diamonds here for the temporary expenses of the city army. Let Nilou find a hidden place to hide her belongings on her back, anyway, she is there, and she can take them at any time, as much as you want.

Then some flags were made overnight. Embroidered with "Wang" and "Chen" respectively, two big characters.

"Wang" refers to Liya's royal banner, and "Chen" refers to my surname as my army.

Early the next morning, I, together with Liya and Linghuan, led 30,000 soldiers and horses to the city of Black More. Before leaving, he told Andrew again that if the enemy army came to attack the city, he would defend it if he could defend it, and withdraw if he couldn't defend it.

After four days' march, we reached the vicinity of the city of Hemor, and set up camp at the foot of a hill fifty miles from the city.

As I had to pass through Black Moore to get to Butenia, I disguised myself as a merchant. Liya had to follow, there was no way, so I had to let Lingphantom stay in the army, I took Liya to Black Moor City, in addition to the spring flowers and autumn moon had to follow, I also selected ten elite soldiers to follow.

A group of sixteen people, I as a merchant, then Liya pretended to be my wife, and Chunhua Qiuyue was a maid, and ten elite soldiers were used as caravan coolies. Each blade was hidden in the debris on the horse's back. He drove a few wagons to the city gate.

Fortunately, the battle did not affect the city of Hemo for the time being, at least the people in the city should think so, there was no special checkpoint at the city gate, but as usual, a small group of soldiers stood guard on the city tower, and four guards at the city gate were on duty, allowing pedestrians to pass freely. Only when the guards noticed that someone was acting suspiciously did they order them to stop and inspect the items.
