After a fierce battle and all the soldiers were exhausted, Will volunteered to take on the duty of guard, and Meria gave the order to rest in place, and walked all the way to the interior of the village with Ron.

All the inhabitants of the small village fled, leaving only empty houses, and Ron noticed that many of the houses were not even furnished, and even the doors of some houses were knocked down with axes, and the whole village was in shambles.

"This is war, and these innocent people can only leave their homes. Merial sighed softly.

"Looking at this way, it turns out that Noah's military top brass is not wise enough to escape. Carlin couldn't help but sneer: "The tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness can certainly minimize the materials plundered by the enemy, but the people who live here will start to rebuild when they come back in the future." ”

The killing he saw in Hamp City had already made Ron's heart hold a fire, as the army of the principality, gave up resistance and retreated on all fronts, and let the civilians under his rule be killed by the empire, such a war, in the previous life, Ron has always been ashamed, as a soldier, it is to defend his country, to defend his compatriots, therefore, Ron did not speak politely.

"Hmph, isn't Your Excellency Noah's soldier? The retreat of the troops is an order issued by the superiors, and we, as soldiers, are unconditionally obedient to the order!" Meria said coldly, "It's not that we are unwilling to resist, the independent brigade has just been established, and in terms of combat experience and equipment configuration, it can't be compared with the Second Army of Beilu at all, and we will definitely recapture the lost Hamp City!"

Ron took a deep breath, there was no point in dwelling on this issue, and it would fall apart.

"The magic just now should have been used by Your Excellency, right? Since you are a magician, why do you put this title on me?"

Merial sighed, a wry smile on her face, "It would be nice if this was really a magic I could cast." ”

As she spoke, Meria suddenly drew her sword, and Carlin could see that the blade was suddenly plated with an orange glow.

"Orange Fighting Spirit, are you a knight?" Ron was surprised, "What about the magic just now?"

Meria coughed and stared at Ron with her eyes intended: "Before I joined the army, the two magic scrolls that my family gave me at home, in fact, even if you didn't show up just now, I would have used them, but I don't want the soldiers to know this secret." ”

Ron blinked, "You're not afraid that I'll snatch you?" ”

Indeed, this little officer he just met made Ron a little confused, although he had not been exposed to such a thing as a magic scroll, but combined with some literature, film and television works in his previous life, it was also a very expensive thing, and he actually told himself the secret directly.

"I don't think you're that kind of person. Merial chuckled softly, "If you were really the kind of person with a sinister heart, you wouldn't have said that kind of thing before, and besides, just the two of you, you would never help us." ”

"Well, I'll admit you're right. Ron smiled and said, "According to what you mean, I will explain to the soldiers later, just say that I use a magic scroll, if any soldier is red-eyed and gives me a knife in the back, I am not sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky?"

"Poof. Ron's words made Meria laugh out loud, "Okay, you can rest assured, it's absolutely impossible for these soldiers under me to do this kind of thing." ”

"Sir, you didn't bring me here just to talk about the Magic Scroll, did you?" Ron said in a deep voice, "There are still a large number of Beru troops in Hamp City, and we can't stay here forever. ”

"I'm thinking about it, too. Meria took out a neatly stacked map from her bosom and spread it out directly on the earthen wall, then pulled out a short sword like a ribbed fork from her waist and stabbed it into the wall.

"The large army has retreated a long way, and our troops are left to fight separately and slow down the enemy's pursuit," Meria said in a deep voice: "Beru's army does not seem to want to pursue deeply, but wants to destroy our sporadic troops." ”

"No, it seems, if I were the commander of the Belu army, I would do the same. Ron sneered: "Going deep into the borders of other countries and chasing the enemy's army is completely trying to trap yourself in an encirclement." If you want me to say, the commander of your independent brigade is a complete waste. ”

Meria's face was a little ugly, if it was someone else, in front of him, a soldier, insulting his superior officer, he would have exploded, but now the situation is different after all, and the army of the Principality of Noah is like a lost dog, which is also an indisputable fact.

Ron raised his voice a few more times: "Don't you see it yet? Beru's invasion of the Duchy of Noah this time is not a strategic attack on the land at all, on the contrary, after occupying the city of Hamp, they are crazy to kill and rape, the whole city of Hamp, it is like experiencing a catastrophe, such a city, such a land, what's the use?"

"Water can carry boats, but it can also overturn boats, and the city of Hampoo, which has lost its people, cannot get up again from the ruins. Ron said in a deep voice, "If your large army insists on escaping back to the interior of the principality, the Beru army will not continue to pursue, and now spread out the troops just in time for the enemy to break through." ”

"The goal of the Belu people is very clear, which is to kill as many living forces as possible in the Principality of Noah! Even if you are lucky enough to escape the pursuit of this wave of enemy troops, what are you going to do with the next enemy attack?"

"My lord, do you have any good ideas?" Meria said in a deep voice, "It should be too late to catch up with the big army now." ”

Ron's gaze fell on the map, which included the entire Duchy of Noah and most of the Duchy of Beru, and Ron quickly found the location of Hamp City on the map.

"Brother Ron, we should be here now. Will reached out and landed on a small village to the west and south of the map.

Ron's brow furrowed.

Not far to the east on the map, is the name of Hamp City, on the map, Hamp City is still a city belonging to the Principality of Noah, west of the small village where he is, to be exact, the entire west of Hamp City, is a large plain, marching on this terrain, almost the same as looking for death, if it is only him and Will, there is no need to worry too much about concealment, but if you take into account the soldiers around you, this terrain has become the biggest problem hindering their progress.

Moreover, except for Hamp City, there are only scattered villages and towns on the entire plain, and these villages and towns are not suitable for defense at all.

"My lord, I think we'd better stick here. Meria scratched her head: "There's really no place to go around here. ”

"Nope. Ron immediately interrupted Merial, "Let's go here." ”

Ron's finger slowly headed south, then stopped on the map.

Merial let out a low cry.

"My lord, you want us to die. His voice trembled.

"No, if you don't go into the tiger's den, you will get a tiger, this is the most dangerous place, but the safest place. ”
