Chapter 689: The Chosen One

The Chosen One!

After understanding what happened, Su Mo could only come to such a conclusion.

In the beginning, Wallace had about 2,000 people, and then accidentally killed a marquis—in fact, the marquis was already a declining nobleman, with no title, not even a domain, only a manor and seventy or eighty guards.

After killing the marquis, Wallace also knew that he had stabbed a hornet's nest and began to flee into exile.

Presumably thinking that Wallace was going to be finished, many of his more than 2,000 people temporarily left the team.

At its worst, there were only more than 160 people around him.

There were people chasing them everywhere, and it was impossible to escape all the time, and they were finally blocked by official forces in the Great Rift Valley of East Zhejiang - the kind that was blocked at both ends, it was simply a situation where it was impossible to escape.

However, no one expected that the Great Rift Valley, which had stood there for at least a thousand years, would actually collapse.

The officers and soldiers all seemed to have been stoned to death, and Wallace, who was in the center, and his more than 100 brothers, only one of them had his ankle broken.

Everyone accepted the supplies and horses of the official army as if in a dream, and then met a group of defectors.

Those brothers who broke away from him before can't say that I see that you can't leave, their excuse is almost all that I am looking for some allies to see if anyone can contain us, anyway, most of them are fake, but some of them are sincere to find reinforcements.

I don't know if it's luck or how.

As soon as those people heard about Wallace's name, they immediately decided to bring people to help, and there was a posture that the princes of the Eighteenth Route defected to Dong Zhuo.

Wallace was already well-known among the southern thieves, and when the news came out that he had killed a marquis, he was no longer unconvinced.

Gonghou Bozi man, that is second only to the existence of the Grand Duke.

And when they arrived at the Great Rift Valley, they saw the collapsed Great Rift Valley, and an unknown number of officers and soldiers who were stoned to death, all of them bowed their heads and called them big brothers.

Wallace became the leader of the thieves of the South.

Then there's the Battle of Lake Miller.

Although they became the leaders of the thieves, Wallace and their numbers were only forty or fifty thousand, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were mixed among them, and they lacked medical treatment and medicine, and they could not eat enough, and even the bark of trees was stripped clean everywhere they passed, and at least more than 100 people were attrifled every day.

There were so many of them that they couldn't run.

In the face of the Southern Army of the Federation, which had already assembled and approached, the people around Wallace repeatedly persuaded him to leave these people and run quickly, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood.

Unfortunately, all of them were rejected by Wallace.

He felt that since he hadn't died in the Great Rift, he shouldn't die, and as long as he didn't deserve to die, he wouldn't die anyway.

If he deserves to die, he will die if he runs or not.

The leader refused to escape and wanted to live and die with everyone, and the morale of more than 40,000 people was very high, and they were full of energy—even if they were, there was no comparison with the regular army of the Southern Legion, which numbered more than 100,000.

The two sides kicked off the battle near Lake Miller.

Wallace and his mud-legged men couldn't run.

The night before the decisive battle, it rained heavily, and the Southern Army suffered greatly from the high ground on one side and the low terrain on the other.

In order not to be flooded in the barracks, they finally drowned alive, and had no choice but to withdraw their troops and move their positions - at this time, Wallace suddenly had a convulsion and led forty or fifty thousand mud legs to attack the Southern Army in the rain.

In this battle, he gained a little, and he defeated the Southern Army head-on.

It stands to reason that although the Southern Army was defeated, the mud-legged men could not catch up, and they could regroup and fight again with a little repair.

At this time, another change happened.

The commander of the Southern Army was sick in the rain, had a fever and cough, and could only lie in the carriage in a daze, and his assistant, he actually had quite a few assistants, and this was only one of the more capable ones, who was appointed to take over military affairs.

Although the Grand Commander is weak and old, his vision is obviously very good.

At this time, we can't let those bullshit nobles be embarrassed, and we must let those who have the ability to turn the tide of the war.

But the problem is that after he fell unconscious, several other noble officers joined forces to seize the power of the assistant, and also broke the assistant's leg by military law.

A few young aristocrats did not have madness.

They looked down on the mud legs, and even if they suffered a defeat, they didn't feel that the mud legs were a threat to them, so they fixed their eyes on the great achievements of this time to exterminate the thieves.

Exterminate Wallace, who ravaged the south, and avenge a marquis, with such military exploits, their position in the aristocratic circle will be more stable, and it is not impossible to inherit the title of their father, and it is not impossible to go further.

Unexpectedly, the Grand Commander actually handed over military affairs to an officer from a civilian background.

Taking advantage of the Commander's coma, they stripped the Commander's assistant, Mr. Montgomery, of all power, blaming him for his previous defeats, and then breaking his legs.

If it weren't for someone to help, Montgomery would have died.

That night, Montgomery, who had recovered a little, contacted some civilian officers and immediately launched a rebellion.

The internal chaos caused the Southern Legion, which was already like a frightened bird, to collapse in an instant.

According to the rumors, Wallace saw the enemy camp in chaos and decisively launched a new offensive - which was not the case. Wallace and his belongings were so exhausted that they couldn't even assemble a force capable of charging.

It was Montgomery who really broke the Southern Legion.

He killed almost all the nobles in the barracks - uncomfortable, but barely understandable.

The Grand Commander did not die, he handed over the Grand Commander to the Grand Commander's personal soldiers and sent him out of the country as a gift.

At this point, the Southern Army was extinguished, about 10 percent were killed in battle, 60 percent fled in all directions, and 30 percent followed Montgomery and surrendered to Wallace.

O Son of Destiny, why would a new valve that is about to rise be loyal to you.

An army of 100,000 was tossed and lost before you knew it.

Wallace integrated his men, selected the elite, and the regular army brought by Montgomery, and the strength skyrocketed by more than one or two times.

And there are countless supplies, and they don't need to worry about food at all.

However, their situation is not optimistic, and now the entire Federation is organizing people to exterminate this group of thieves, and bounties are posted everywhere.

As long as you can kill the thieves, you can gain a lot of reputation.

If you are able to kill several thieves on the list, you will not only gain a lot of reputation, but also receive a federal territorial reward.

Kill Wallace and reward 5,000,000 gold, a barony, and a territory.

Kill Montgomery and reward 5,000,000 coins, a baronial title, and a territory.

In addition, there are many unofficial bounties, some of which are even more powerful than the official ones, such as a new little widow in Tallinn, who offered a reward of 10 million gold coins for Montgomery's head, both big and small.

Most of these unofficial bounties are for Montgomery.

This guy killed almost all the noble officers of the Southern Legion, a total of more than 100 people, and involved almost all the famous families in the entire federation.

The hatred between him and the aristocracy was much worse than that of Wallace.

Su Mo soon received orders from the Noble Management Council, as well as a letter from Grand Duke Stan, asking him to put up a notice and offer a reward for the thieves and the thief leader.

He also asked Su Mo to send his territory guards to form a group to brush up the thieves.

The nobles were angry, the nobles were afraid, they finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and if they didn't take measures quickly, it was likely that the entire federation would be finished.
