Fairy wreath space, village on the shores of Swan Lake.

In the past month, the original veterans have regained their former appearance, although most of them are physically disabled, but these are warriors who have survived many life-and-death battles.

Higg also discussed archery and the queue tactics of elven archers with Corincha, and studied knightly tactics with Johnson and Thomas, especially the tactical use of top classes such as paladins on the battlefield, as well as the coordination of various arms.

For a month, Higg, Thomas, Johnson and others lived a very fulfilling life, but Lan Xian'er was sullen, Pantony had not seen the kind of ore that Lan Xian'er needed, so he could only promise to go out and find the dwarf tribe of the Forest Country and inquire about the news from them, but he hoped that Miao Miao would not be able to meet the requirements of the Flower Valley in time.

"Young marshal!" Andrew strangely did not return to Swan Lake at the usual time, but ahead of schedule!

Higg stepped forward and hugged Andrew tightly, and Andrew, who had not heard from him for nearly ten years, finally appeared in front of Higg.

Higg pushed Andrew away, and carefully looked at this old guy who was ruthless enough to drive him away, this guy was still disheveled and unkempt, and he looked a lot older, but the tears on his face couldn't hide his resolute determination.

"Young marshal, I've finally waited for you to come back!" Andrew choked up and said, "I don't know how many times I woke up in my dreams, and when I saw you covered in blood, I was really scared that you wouldn't come back, and I really regretted why I didn't bring you directly into this Swan Lake in the first place!" Well, now that you've finally grown up and come back, I finally don't have to have nightmares anymore"

Higg also said with tears on his face: "Old man, why are you still working so hard? My father and mother have been dead for more than 20 years, and you have done what you can do for them, and you have done it well, and I am alive and well! ”

"No, it's not done yet!" Andrew said excitedly and resolutely, "The young marshal can't understand us people because he hasn't experienced the scene of twenty years ago, and those who are alive will never forget that the once glorious Fifth Legion has lost their commander and wife, lost all the halo of glory, and what is left is only humiliation and tribulation, and we will not be reconciled!" ”

Higg nodded, and suddenly asked, "Old man, did something happen outside when you came back in such a hurry?" ”

"Oops, I almost forgot about the big thing!" Andrew nodded solemnly and said: "The situation is urgent, now Arad has begun to operate in full force, the first step is to eat the Kolenwa Department that occupies the line from Mislan City to Echenu, and at the same time, the Second Legion of the Barbarian State has sent 300,000 troops, which are already close to the Ural Grand Canyon, ready to attack the Fifth Legion of Montgosar!" ”

Higg was taken aback and asked, "The Barbarians are going to intervene in the civil war in Erathia?" They want to tear up the armistice? ”

"An armistice is not a peace treaty, the two sides are actually at war, and when the war will start, it depends on when it is in their national interests," Andrew said. Maybe the barbarian countries are sure that Arad will win this war, and they just want to make some political capital in this war! ”

Higg thought for a moment and said, "I think it's very unlikely that the barbarians will enter the war, and no politician will dare to invest indiscriminately until Arad and Catherine have no obvious winner!" The barbarians are also pretending to put pressure on the Fifth Legion, forcing the Fifth Legion to fall to the Arad camp. ”

Andrew asked, "Young marshal, what should I do then?" Do you want to let the barbarian countries garrison the Ural Gorge? ”

Higg asked, "Old man, how is your work in the Fifth Legion going?" ”

Andrew said: "The work with Habaisa, the deputy commander of the Kuba Fortress, is going well, and there are some of the marshal's original subordinates, but their ranks are not high, and they are suppressed very badly!" Habaisa was also a commander of the infantry army under the marshal, but he was not a cronie, and he was slowly promoted from the grassroots level, he respected the marshal very much, I have observed it for a long time, and he is trustworthy! ”

"Good!" Higg said, "You arrange for me to meet with Habaisa first, but don't reveal my identity, just recommend a magician to him!" ”

Andrew asked suspiciously, "Young marshal, shall we go out now?" Have you found a way out? ”

"Don't act rashly before the others, I'll go out with you first!" Higg said with a smile, "Blue Fairy, you and Mr. Andrew study the entrances and exits, and in the future, you will control the clover and master the entrances and exits!" ”

Andrew hurriedly said: "Young marshal, the entrance and exit are very important, how can it be handed over to outsiders?" ”

"Shut up!" Higg said angrily: "When I fled, I took the route of Mong Kok Peak and the Grand Mountains, isn't that exactly what you wanted? You keep saying that I choose my own path, did I still have a choice at that time? Okay, I followed the route you planned, found a way to open the entrance and exit of Swan Lake, and also embarked on the path you wanted! ”

Higg sighed, and then said, "Andrew, how many times have you found me and scolded you in my heart in the past few years?" I always feel deceived by you, hehe, since you let me be your young marshal instead of a nameless boy, then you must obey my arrangement! ”

Andrew was stunned, Higg had never been angry with him, but his words were so resolute and decisive that he couldn't bear any mercy, as if Andrew saw the shadow of Higg's father back then, so he said excitedly: "Andrew is willing to obey any arrangement of the young marshal!" ”

……

At the head of the fortress of Kuba, the commander of the fortress, Trondo, inspected the fort's defense work an hour before sunset every day. Standing at the head of the high city, Trendo looked to the north from afar, which was another fortress location of the Ural Grand Canyon, the Barbarian Fortress, according to intelligence, in a few days, hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops would appear there, and the Ural Grand Canyon was once again dragged into the war.

Swoop—a loud thud rang out across the sky, and then an arrow shot in a beautiful arc toward Trondo's left chest, the arrow passed through the front and back armor, and continued to fly backwards, disappearing into the empty inner city tower.

The surrounding guards didn't have any time to react, and Trondo fell to the ground with blood spurting out, without a breath.

The chief of the guard immediately shouted angrily: "Immediately search the area within 500 meters ahead, find suspicious characters, arrest immediately, and those who resist arrest will be killed!" Dispatch the Griffin Guards, immediately reconnoiter from the air, and report at any time! ”

……

In the barracks of Habaisa, the deputy commander of the fortress of Kuba, Andrew and Higg stood in front of Habaisa.

"Mr. Andrew, I have to admire your guts!" Habaisa laughed, "Now the entire fortress and even the surrounding area of the fortress are arresting the suspects who assassinated the Commander, not only are you here, but you also dare to bring strangers to me, you are not afraid of being arrested by the guards as assassins?" ”

Andrew laughed and said, "Hahaha, it is precisely because the Commander was assassinated that I had to come in time to congratulate the new Commander on taking office, and it will not be happy if it is late!" ”

Habaisa smiled and asked, "Who is this, how can you bring people to my barracks casually?" ”

Andrew said: "This is the magician Angela, and it is also my old friend, who is willing to serve under the command of the Lord!" Don't look at him young, but his magic ability is not lost to the magic guide! ”

Habaisa looked at Higg, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Andrew, where is there such a young magician, besides, this is an extraordinary time, I don't dare to accept people casually!" ”

Andrew was about to explain again, but Higg stopped him, stepped forward and said with a smile: "It seems that the deputy commander is not interested in the gift I gave me at all!" ”

Habaisa raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously, "What gift?" ”

Higg smiled and said, "Is there anyone still fighting for the position of the new commander of the Kuba Fortress with the deputy commander?" ”

"Is that you?" Habaisa was taken aback, took a few steps back, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll have someone arrest you right now?" ”

"What's in it for the Lords? Even if the Commander captured me, but he caught an assassin in his barracks, Commander, did you make it clear? Higg smiled and took a few steps forward, his face changed, and he said fiercely: "Since the commander doesn't appreciate it, I don't mind changing the position of the commander!" ”

Habaisa was furious and said, "Who are you? This is my barracks, do you really think I'm a coward? ”

Andrew smiled and said, "Lord Commander has misunderstood! We just want to resolve the crisis for adults and give adults a great fortune, since adults don't appreciate it, then forget it! Angela, let's go! ”

After Andrew finished speaking, he led Higg out of the barracks!

"Wait!" Habaisa said angrily, "Do you come as soon as you say you come to my barracks, and leave as you say?" ”

"Oh?" When Sig heard Habaisa's words, he did not leave, sat down at the conference table in the barracks, and said, "What do you mean, Lord Commander?" Think we can't get out of this fortress, do you? ”

Habaisa said: "If you speak clearly, if you are not clear, do not go!" ”

"Hahaha!" Higg laughed and said, "Andrew, you have often mentioned to me how loyal Lord Habaisa is, but now it seems that he just wants to be Arad's lackey!" ”

Habaisa said angrily, "Why am I going to be Arad's lackey? Andrew, you and I are such friends, what kind of person I Habaisa is, don't you know, even if I die, I will not be Arad's minion! ”

Higg said, "Well, it seems that I have misunderstood Lord Habaisa! But, my lord, now that hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops want to attack the Ural Grand Canyon, and the Fifth Army will face a flank attack, how can you resolve this crisis? ”

Habaisa said: "Hmph, the Kuba Fortress is in danger, 30,000 soldiers fought bloodily, even if the army of the barbarian country can pass through the Kuba Fortress, then at least 100,000 lives will be taken to pave the way!" ”

Higg sneered and said, "If that's the case, the Lord Commander has just fallen for Arad's trick!" ”

Habaisa was taken aback, and then said, "The soldiers are coming!" Where did all the trickery come from? ”
