The enemy is already very close.

When the Ionian coalition discovered the first abandoned outpost, they knew that war was about to break out.

Strangely, however, after passing through two abandoned outposts in a row, they did not encounter a single Noxian.

The Noxians seemed to have vanished into thin air.

For this, everyone felt a little strange at the same time, but there was a trace of excitement in their hearts,

In this case, without thinking too much, you can probably guess that it is definitely the Noxians who are afraid, they dare not fight in a dignified duel anymore, they are crushed by the two terrible defeats that preceded them, they fled, ran to a place where there is no way back.

It is not so much waiting for the final battle as it is like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, waiting in the corner for the final death.

At the thought of this situation, some people even whistle easily while kicking the fence that is an eyesore.

"That's not a good sign." Graves closed the book in his hand, looked at the soldiers who were obviously a little relaxed around him, shook his head and said, "Throughout the history of Valoran, there is no war that can be won by an army that has the idea of death, and the so-called proud soldiers will be defeated." ”

"That's not that serious, it's just that the successive victories have made them a little underestimated, and it's not to the point of arrogance, besides, this is a battle for the defense of the family, don't underestimate the strength of their local feelings." Chen Senran comforted Graves instead.

"To be honest, I really can't understand you, the current situation is actually getting more and more dangerous, and we are alone now, because no one knows when those guys on the Heavenly King Mountain will go under the knife, but you are still such an old god, talk about it. What hole cards do you have? Graves looked at Chen Senran with great curiosity.

For such a long time, Graves has not been able to see through Chen Senran once.

He always gave Graves a mysterious, unpredictable, and terrifying feeling that you never thought of being in the back hand.

This time......

What's the surprise?

"You might as well guess?" Chen Senran also seemed to be interested, so he didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Oh. Interesting, then I'll guess. Graves laughed and lit a cigar for himself, and at the same time threw one to Chen Senran, and while lighting a cigarette, he pondered, "Well, I guess, it's Fitz." Is that right? It has to be Fitz, otherwise you wouldn't be able to explain why it's not here. ”

"Because its combat power can only be exerted at sea, I sent it to the sea to assist in defense." Chen Senran shrugged his shoulders with a cigar and signaled that you guessed wrong.

"I'm afraid there's still a point of spying on Dönitz, right?" Graves raised an eyebrow and said, "So that's Draven?" Right? He's a good knife for you, and you just let him go, there's definitely some conspiracy, right? I remember you sneaking around him. ”

"Draven, yes. He's amazing, but I didn't ask him to do anything. Besides, no matter how brave a person is, he will never be able to affect a war, he just went to fulfill a wish. Chen Senran still shook his head.

"The ......," Graves scratched his head in annoyance, and suddenly exclaimed as if he had a flash of light, "aha, I know, it's the ...... The giant of the deep. Notilus, right? I'll just say it's been a long, long time since I've seen this guy, and it's definitely you asking him to do something nasty, right? Graves' words were unceremonious, and his expression was fluttering.

It's like playing some kind of fun guessing game.

"Unfortunately, it's still not right. Nautirus......" Chen Senran shook his head, "He's homesick, I'll let him ...... Went home. ”

This sentence, he said is very meaningful.

"Well, I'll admit I can't guess, let's announce the answer." Graves gave up.

"The answer will be known when the time comes." Chen Senran refused.

"Okay." Graves wasn't surprised.

Both of them sipped their cigars at the same time.

The smoke rose slowly, and it had the beauty of an old man.

——————————

"Now it's time for you to tell me the answer, right?" Darius frowned as he looked at the latest battle report.

The Ionian coalition had reached the position of their second outpost, less than half a day away from their main camp.

The atmosphere in the whole camp has become more and more solemn, plus the famous murderous butcher Vincent escaped last night.

The soldiers' grievances were deeper and their morale was lower.

If the other party directly sets up a formation tomorrow and presses it over, maybe there is really no need to fight, no matter how high his prestige is, it is useless.

That's the whole crash.

"You let him go." Svein said something else.

"What?" Darius was stunned for a moment, as if in disbelief.

"I say, you let go of our dear Mr. Vincent, who could have been killed." Svein repeated, looking at Darius with a strange look in his eyes.

"Are you suspicious of me?" Darius laughed angrily at his gaze, "Well, just let him go, what's the use of you when you really catch him, skin him and strip him to the bone?" Hanging at the gate of the camp? You think this will boost morale? Do you think the Ionians will be scared in this way? Svein, you're not that naïve, are you? ”

At the last sentence, he almost yelled.

"How much food do we have?" Svein shook his head, as if he didn't want to continue the conversation.

"There is enough food in the camp for three days, and there are still some reserves on the ships in the port, plus the support we can get from the sea, and we will not run out of food in a short time." Darius put away his anger and reluctantly said, "Why do you expect those bunch of shit in the Navy?" It's good that they don't get beaten up, and that Puerto Rico, who thinks that after a few victories, no one cares about anything. ”

As a result, he became furious again.

"Well, where's the water?" Svein didn't care about Darius's attitude at all, and still asked his own questions.

"Water...... It's enough to drink for a few days. Darius already sensed something was wrong, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Darius, remember what I first told you?" Svein asked another inexplicable question.

"At first......" Darius vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"If we want to win, we have to gamble, and now is the time to gamble." Svein was still saying inexplicable words, "Say, how high is your prestige?" ”

"Kala-"

"Bang-" As soon as he finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly sounded outside.

Like ...... What was chiseled? (To be continued......)

PS: First update.

The state is stable today.
