When May arrives, the temperature slowly begins to get hot all over the Empire, and everything is full of life under the scorching sun, but even on such days, the war that spreads across the Empire does not stop at all, but intensifies.

Now that the three sides of the empire are in turmoil, the two famous generals of the empire, Javier and Estes, who have been entrusted with important tasks, respectively lead their legions to fight in the east and west, facing the peaceful road on the troubled side and the foreign nations in the west.

Originally, everything was going well, but it didn't take long for them to stalemate the war for their own reasons, and they couldn't get out of the quagmire of war for a while.

At the same time, the entire 300,000 troops of the revolutionary army pushed all the way from the southeast border, and finally came to the last barrier of the imperial capital - Bishui Pass, and faced the most elite guards in the empire, commanded by the "Pillar of the Empire" Bud Elliott.

The day after the revolutionary army encamped in the area around Bishui Pass, the tragic siege battle officially began.

In the face of the onslaught of the revolutionary army, Bud was under a lot of pressure, but he was worthy of being a battle-hardened man, and he carried out the original plan very calmly, and while holding the city, he had already emptied the supplies of the surrounding towns, making it difficult for the revolutionary army to replenish itself by fighting and fighting war.

At the same time, Major General Andrei, who was far away in the Southwest Military Region, also received Bude's order to lead more than 30,000 soldiers who remained in the military region to constantly attack and harass the rear of the revolutionary army.

The plan laid out by Javier and Bud has been going well so far, and if the Revolutionary Army can be kept in a state like this, and the supply of military rations will continue to be insufficient, and even without the help of Estes and Javier's army, the Revolutionary Army will collapse first.

Therefore, even if he received the news that there were many situations on the eastern and western fronts, and the arrival of reinforcements would probably be delayed a little later, Bud was still able to calm down, he thought that the situation on the imperial capital side was quite stable, and even if it needed to support for a longer time, he was confident that there would be no problems.

Going through the entire empire several times, Bud's strategic vision is also one of the best, he said that there is no problem, naturally he has his own logic and considerations - the situation is still under control, this is the conclusion he has reached.

However, one of the revolutionary troops, who was at this time in full swing with the Guards Corps, possessed a wisdom and strategic vision that was not inferior to Bude, and after a detailed investigation, he was very sharp in finding the weakest link in the enemy's layout and taking swift action.

Whether it's a clash of swords or a clash of strategies, it's too early to draw conclusions until the dust settles.

-

In the city of the Thousand Armies in the southwest, which is very far away from the war at Bishui Pass, the Taishou Mansion is still brightly lit tonight, and the palace is full of guards and private soldiers who are responsible for patrolling, and the defensive deployment is several levels higher than before the war started, and I am afraid that even a mouse will not be able to sneak in without being detected.

It is normal to be heavily defended, after all, the empire is now at war everywhere, and as a nobleman, most of them are very life-sparing, in order to guard against possible mobs and rebels, this is understandable.

However, this is the southwest region, and this territory is extremely safe and secure throughout the empire, so there is no need to worry about these problems, and the defense of the Taishou Mansion is indeed not set up because of this, but for other reasons.

In the study of the Taishou Mansion, a young nobleman in a white brocade dress was looking at the documents in his hand by the light, the room was quiet, only the rustle of the pages being turned, his expression was serious and focused, and he wrote something from time to time, and time passed quietly in such an atmosphere.

Enoch Gregory, the Taishou of the Thousand Army Castle, was one of the two people Xavier had entrusted with the important task before he left the Southwest Military Region.

In this war between the imperial capital and the revolutionary army, as a person who participated in the same situation as Andrei, his duty was to be responsible for logistics support in the shadows, and to provide military aircraft intelligence to Andre, who was fighting on the front line.

Havel had placed many spies within the Revolutionary Army, and although some of them had been pulled out in an internal purge, there were still many usable people in important positions.

These people transmitted some confidential information in the revolutionary army through certain channels, and then Enoch, who had a certain command of the "Shadow Force", summarized and sorted it out, and then screened out the information that had an effect on the current battle situation and handed it to Andre, so that he had the absolute initiative in intelligence information.

It can almost be said that the reason why Andrei was able to jump so arrogantly behind the back of the revolutionary army, invade and harass and grab supplies, while the revolutionary army could not find an effective solution, Enoch's strategy throughout the process was crucial.

As the night deepened, the study was still quiet and audible as needles fell, and the footsteps of the guards patrolling outside the window could still be heard.

After a long time, Enoch, who had finally come to a definite conclusion, breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on his face, and took a sip of a cup of tea that had cooled down next to his desk.

His movements are casual, but elegant, and it is obvious that he has formed a deep imprint under the long-term aristocratic education, and in fact, Enoch is indeed a popular figure in the circle of the aristocracy, even Javier once said: This guy is simply a model of the "aristocracy", I can't learn from him.

"That way, the next step can be finalized."

Enoch put down the teacup, picked up the rice paper on the desk and looked at it from the beginning, and finally nodded, with a slight coldness in his eyes.

"Revolutionary Army...... Hmph, in the name of the revolution, but what he does is no different from bandits, just a group of rebels who commit rebellion...... When my plan is complete, I'll send you scum to hell! ”

Enoch was a scribe, well-versed in internal affairs, but also good at strategy and cunning, and all of André's actions these days had a shadow of him operating behind the scenes, and this time, in order to defeat the revolutionary army, he drew up a new plan.

That's right, it's a rout, not a delay in waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Enoch had always been an ambitious man, and the false name of the nobility did not satisfy him, and he wanted to pursue something more...... For example, it will go down in history, such as being famous through the ages, and it is like sitting on the position of minister.

Enoch made many efforts to achieve these goals, including befriending Javier, a promising general, and tying himself to the same chariot as him.

It was undoubtedly a gamble, and luckily he won.

But that wasn't enough, Enoch needed to prove his abilities further, and this war was a great opportunity right now.

If he could use his own strategy to defeat the forces of the revolutionary army before the two generals of Javier and Estes returned to the imperial capital, such a feat would undoubtedly make him famous in the Empire, and he might even become the youngest minister in the history of the Empire, if he could do so.

This is certainly not fanciful, Enoch is a pragmatic person, and every plan he proposes is naturally feasible to a considerable extent.

He planned to use Andrei's invasion and harassment of the rear of the revolutionary army as a false pretense to divide a force through a secret passage across the Black Wind Mountains, and take their lair in one go when the headquarters of the revolutionary army was currently empty.

Even the rebels of the revolutionary army, they all have families, as long as they can control these people, and then use this to make a big fuss, so that those soldiers who are attacking Bishui Pass with all their might, and even the generals will hear the news.

At that time, there is a great possibility that the enemy army will mutiny, and even if the top brass of the revolutionary army can barely control the situation by thunderous means, what use can the discouraged troops be?

By that time, the revolutionary army will be self-defeating!

Of course, this plan is simple to say, and there will definitely be many problems when it really runs, and all of this requires Enoch's strong operational research ability to make a series of preparations and arrangements in advance, if the preliminary work is completed smoothly, when the plan is officially implemented, it will be overwhelming.

As he was still thinking about his plan in his head, figuring out the key links, Enoch thought about what kind of wording he should use to write the letter tomorrow, so that Andre agreed to deviate from the original plan and accompany him to take the risk of doing this vote, with that guy's brain, it was not an easy thing.

Enoch put down the rice paper in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip of cold tea, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a little discordant, and his body, which was originally sitting on the chair casually, was slightly straightened.

Seem...... Some are too quiet.

Enoch narrowed his eyes, listened carefully for a while, and there was still an unbearable silence, no sound, not even the footsteps of the guards on patrol were gone, deathly silent.

Problematic!

Enoch frowned, and was about to get up to go outside to take a look, but the next moment, only to hear a loud bang, he saw the door of the study being rudely pushed open from the outside, and then the pungent smell of blood quietly wafted into the room, making his whole heart sink suddenly.

At the door of the study, a brown-haired boy walked in slowly with blood-stained steps, his face was delicate, he was wearing a trench coat, and he held a blood-stained blunt knife in his right hand, as if he had just killed someone.

The most impressive thing is his pair of dragon-like cross blood pupils, which can be terrifying even for even a murderous executioner.

Enoch didn't know the boy, but if Javier was here, he would be able to call out his name - Tazmi!
