With unanswered questions, Xiao Yan rode on horseback and continued to read the rest of the letters. The sharp-eyed Galadia poked her head out from the side and watched the presentation of this particular mission with great interest.

"The third letter from Prince Commodus.

August 11, 1072

daughter of the Count of Lamour,

Frankly, our journey has not been easy. After departing from Darson, we approached the Storm's End, where the clues of the Grand Duke of Richelieu were hidden. Towns along the way kept asking us for help, claiming to have been attacked by the undead.

According to reports from the royal capital, the Freemasons who were revolting in Odessa and Sevasto were approaching Storm's End, which made me and my staff very nervous.

The location of Storm's Rest was crucial, but the walls had been badly damaged in the last war, and there was no garrison. So I immediately asked my men to speed up in order to get there before the Freemasonry.

It turned out that I was right, we arrived only a few hours earlier than the enemy. Despite being tired and ignorant of the enemy, my soldiers were ready to go. I placed archers and infantry on the plains and ordered the cavalry to stand by in the area beyond the sight of the hills. 30 cavalry at the front to lure the enemy into the trap.

The plan succeeded, and the Freemasons immediately launched a charge against us, numbering more than 3,000. But it also shows that they lack even the most basic common sense and intelligence.

These poorly equipped infantry huddled together and charged at us, leaving our longbowmen dead. Even the simplest projectile is enough to kill them.

When they finally rushed in front of us, the hoplites under the command of Sir York met them with swords, maces, halberds, and shields. It was at this time that I ordered the cavalry to emerge from their hiding place and attack, charging from behind. The cavalry rushed down the hill and pierced the ranks of the enemy with spears and swords.

The battle was fierce, but not for long. I must admit that Freemasonry had many brave and resilient warriors, and they showed themselves well. But stupid tactics doomed them to defeat. When the cavalry commanded by Count Wally broke through the rear lines of the Freemasons, the rest of the men could not reverse the defeat no matter how hard they tried.

In a few hours we annihilated the force, and thirty-three of our men were killed in the battle, and twice as many were wounded. More than 2,000 of the 3,000 Freemasonic soldiers were exterminated, others fled from the orchards. We were powerless to catch up with them. After a little more rest, we'll set out to track them down and solve them once and for all.

You must be desperate to hear that I'm safe, so I'm worried about whether this letter is too intense, but I also know that if I lie to you, I'll go against my heart. I have a lot of trust in Lord Doolittle, who is responsible for gathering information about Freemasonry and the undead. I'll write to you as soon as I catch up with the remnants of the Freemasonry army, and you'll receive it within a week. Doolittle is very sophisticated and should know how to choose the fastest messenger.

Thou faithful,

Commodus"

……

"This prince is not in a good situation......," Garadia shook her head, "I bet he will soon fall into the ambush of the enemy." ”

That's right, even if it was just the information revealed in the letter, didn't the prince notice that the situation around him was somewhat suspicious? The prince's lack of intelligence on the enemy's total size and strategic objectives, the undead of unknown origin, and the well-organized Masonic army were all threats that were difficult to assess for his small army.

Xiao Yan believes that the prince's better choice should be to sit in Odessa and then allocate one army after another to encircle and suppress, rather than running around with more than a thousand elite soldiers like a commander.

"Maybe we'll find out more when we meet up with Sonya." Xiao Yan put away the copy of the prince's letter and took out Sonya's letter, "We need to hurry up and arrive in Green Valley Town. ”

The letter was sent by Sonia after synthesizing the opinions of her staff. Considering that the distance between the two sides is too far to communicate through the team channel, and Sonia and Xiao Yan entered this world at the same time, this letter should be a letter set up and sent by the plane world itself, so that Xiao Yan and them can grasp the complex situation and background.

"Letter from Sonia de La Morde."

"Griffith, my knight. I hope you are well in a few days, and I wish you all the best, and please convey my greetings to the Count of Condé.

A few days ago, according to the conscription order issued by Prince Commodus, armies from all over the country began to gather in the town of Green Valley, preparing to use it as a base to completely wipe out the raging Masonic rebellion and the remnants of the undead and orcs that constantly haunt the wilderness.

My aides told me that a few months earlier, the Freemasons had rebelled in Odessa and had quickly gathered tens of thousands of troops. Although they withdrew from Odessa under the siege of the Romanian regular army, they continued to raid the estates of the nobles everywhere. Led by their leader Thomas Jefferson, the Freemasons used resolute guerrilla warfare to deal with the kingdom, and in collusion with the orcs and human pirates of the Daron Mill Sea, they cut off Romania's trade with the dwarven kingdoms on the eastern shore of the sea.

Although the kingdom quickly sent its navy to attack, the pirates avoided the battle, and relied on the support of the rebels on land to repeatedly maneuver with the Romanian navy, continuing to cut off the connection between the human kingdom and the dwarven kingdom.

Prince Commodus's plan was to use Odessa and nearby Wilhelmshaven as a base to send his navy out of piracy once the threat on land was lifted. At that time, the pirates without the support of the rear will not be far from the day of defeat.

Griffiths, I am marching to Green Valley with a family army of 3,000 men, and I enclose herewith a copy of the royal capital's authorization to mention to me the troops near Green Valley and my own warrant, please assemble the troops near Green Valley Town in my name and wait for my arrival. Our dear friend, Miss Elena of the Church of Light, and her faithful Knights of Judgment have arrived in advance, please convey my thoughts and greetings to her.

Ever since we entered Odessa, a group of black-armored rangers has been hovering around us. Several expulsions organized by the knights have failed, and we have to continue to endure their harassment. The officers all said that if the chief knight of the Lamor family, Griffith, you would not let these cavalrymen run wild in our ranks. I couldn't agree more with them.

Be careful, my knight. I sensed that there were many disturbing doubts about the whole thing.

You're sincere

Sonia de Lamour"

When he finished reading the letter, Xiao Yan began to sweat, and Galadia looked at him curiously.

The walls of Green Valley are already in sight. Although nominally a town, the Green Valley was a transportation hub and trade center in the area, and the Church of the Light also has a chapel here.

"Meet Elena......" Xiao Yan felt that she was starting to have stomach pain. Towards the end of World Three, Elena kissed him as a saint and made a shocking declaration:

"Griffith, remember!"

"The one who took your first kiss! I love Lena! ”

It's nothing, and being kissed by a beauty like that isn't a loss!

It's just that Galadia is around. If...... If...... When Elena saw her, she pounced on her and gave herself a hot kiss......

Oh no~ Xiao Yan couldn't help but cover his face.
