On the front line of Beard's Old Country, the tug-of-war between Elt and West has been going on for seven days.

West wanted to march in three directions, but was constantly harassed by Elt's army, and the pace of his advance was greatly slowed.

On the eighth day, Princess Lutimoni of the Kingdom of Neuer personally led 8,000 light cavalry into the battlefield, on the ninth day, Elter Trul recruited another 10,000 town garrisons and new recruits in the rear to join the combined army, and on the 10th day, the third princess of the Kanna Imperial Kingdom, Kazuha herself, led 12,000 iron cavalry and heavy infantry into battle.

At this point, a number of large-scale battles began to break out between the two sides, each side suffered heavy casualties, and then each launched a serious war of attrition.

On the twelfth, the Westers began to retreat on the orders of Queen Lydia.

However, after learning this news, Yang Cheng did not feel happy, but had a headache.

"Master, we have won the war, why do you keep looking sad?"

Looking at Al's tired and excited appearance, Yang Cheng sighed and said, "Where can this be regarded as a win, at most it can only be regarded as a draw, and the situation after that is even worse!"

Al was a little confused, and didn't understand Yang Cheng's meaning for a while.

"Al, look at the information!"

After receiving the intelligence summary handed over by Yang Cheng, Al gasped, "They actually established a stronghold directly a hundred miles away?!"

"Yes, Princess Lydia saw that the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Noor and the Imperial Kingdom of Kanna were coming, and it was obvious that she didn't want to fight this war of attrition, so she planned to drag us to death by retreating!"

"Master, I was reckless. ”

Yang Cheng said with some pain: "The other party has established a stronghold, pressing but not attacking, this Noer Kingdom and the 20,000 reinforcements of the Shenna Imperial Kingdom cannot retreat at the moment, plus our own troops, now the food in the rear is scarce, with the existing national strength of our Elt, if you want to support such a huge army at once, you can't afford to be hurt, you really can't afford to hurt." ”

"Master, then what are we going to do, if the other party doesn't attack all the time, we can't always spend time with them, right?"

"Then what's the solution," Yang Cheng frowned and said: "Yaoji's side has probed for information many times, and the other party's stronghold is solid, and we are already at a disadvantage, and launching an attack in a hurry will instead lead to their way." ”

Al: "......"

"West is a big country, and the supply of a mere 100,000 troops is completely insignificant, but we are different, if this continues, I can't predict that in January, the morale of the army here will be crushed by the other side. Moreover, it is impossible for the armies of the Neuer Kingdom and the Kanna Imperial Kingdom to be crucified here endlessly, once they leave, it will be the time for the other party to capture Beard. ”

"Master, what you said is getting more and more serious, do we have to give up Beard, which we have obtained so hard," Al said unwillingly: "The conquest of Beard cost us a lot of troops, and now I am unwilling to give up my hands in vain!"

"It's right to have this momentum, don't worry, Lao Tzu finally occupied the territory, how could they let them take it for nothing!"

"Could it be that Master has already thought of a countermeasure?"

"Don't worry, I just thought of a possible countermeasure, let me think about it again, sort it out, you first prepare the army to deal with the situation that may happen at any time, and I will inform someone to call you if there is anything." ”

"Well, I believe in Master, then I'll go first!"

......

That night, Yang Cheng summoned Al over again.

"Master, I've been waiting for your news for a long time!"

"Al, don't talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point. There must be no loss of the stronghold of Makula, and if it is lost, all our previous efforts will be in vain. However, it is completely impossible to go on like this, and for the sake of today, we can only mobilize the army and take the lead in disintegrating the army of Queen Delia from other places!"

Al was shocked, "Master, didn't you say you can't act?"

Yang Cheng smiled bitterly: "It's okay not to expose it to the other party!"

"Is that really possible?"

"In the current situation, although we can break into the decisive battle right away, the risk is too great. No, it's not too big, but the chance of losing accounts for nine out of nine, so we must disintegrate the opponent's army in advance, otherwise we basically have no chance of winning!"

Al nodded, "How do I need to cooperate with Master?"

Yang Cheng pondered seriously for a moment and said, "In order not to expose the action, even if the troops are transferred, they can only mobilize an extremely small number of troops!"

"So...... I can't act with Master. ”

"No, you're going to go with me!"

"Ahh

The corners of Yang Cheng's mouth showed a good-looking arc and said, "It doesn't matter, we can move a more dazzling character in Makula!"

Al's eyes lit up, "Master, do you mean Lord Muster?"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "Although Muster is the pillar of Ayrte, she is only the Minister of the Interior, and from the position of the war, her identity is not qualified. Let's say it, I've got the queen brought here, and if nothing else, I'll be there tomorrow!"

"Hey, hey, hey—"

Al couldn't control his surprise anymore, he always felt that this was ridiculous, this battle had moved the queen from the palace to the front line, and the master in front of him was too outrageous.

"You're surprised, isn't the queen dazzling enough?"

"No, Master, this ...... This...... It's the first time I've seen a queen put on the battlefield, and does the queen herself agree?"

"It's okay, she's already trained, and when she heard my orders, she happily came to the front. ”

Al: "...... Master, you are so nasty, Queen, you are ...... ...... all."

"In your eyes, she is a queen, and in the eyes of the master, she is a woman like you, there is no difference, besides, this time she can't help it, for the prosperity and development of Elt, by the way, it is not a bad thing to let her come to the front line to see the cruelty of the battlefield. ”

"Okay, so when are we going to act?"

"Have a good rest tonight, and when the queen comes tomorrow, I will discuss the specific details with you!"

"That's fine, but Master...... Is it really okay to act, but the more I think about it, the more scared I become, if something happens to the queen here, even if she can hold Marcura, is there any point?"

Yang Cheng sighed: "Are you stupid, we also have tens of thousands of troops, even if we really lose the battle, it should be easy to protect a queen to retreat, if you can't even do this little thing, I will raise these tens of thousands of soldiers in vain, all of them will wipe my neck!"

"Okay, I'll just talk about it casually, then I'll listen to your arrangement tomorrow!"

"Okay, that's it!"
