Tie Lun's team walked back in silence, although the knights were scolding in low voices, but the morale was not as low as before.

The fire that had accumulated in the rugged mountain roads and annoying jungles had made everyone hold a fire in their chests, eager to see those Solan Knights right now and tear them to shreds.

In this regard, Tie Lun is happy to see it.

The army is a tool for killing. As a soldier, killing is a profession!

With the right amount of anger, the knights will become more aggressive and ferocious, while also ignoring the effects of the previous qiē.

Whether it's the damn mountain road or the setbacks of an otherwise easy battle.

Tie Lun had never doubted the power of the Ferry Empire.

This war will eventually end with the victory of the Empire. Solan will be the name of a dustbin that will be swept into history, a vast and rich land that will become the bag of the Philip Empire.

Countless imperial nobles will benefit from this war. Their realm will be doubled, with more slaves and more wealth.

There are many more who will become new nobles by virtue of their military exploits in war.

They will rule the land, become its masters, and use the grain produced here to strengthen the foundations of the Firet Empire.

Yes, Foundation! Tie Lun took a deep breath.

Few people know that the current Philip Empire has reached the brink of collapse.

The Feilie Empire, located to the west of the Solan Empire, is 70% of the desert and the Gobi. The climate is also two extremes, either extremely hot or extremely bitterly cold. Many places, with the exception of Warcraft, are not at all suitable for human habitation.

Even the most adaptable barbarians, and the orcs who can eat rats, bugs and grass roots. None survived.

On the surface, the Feilie Empire is fierce, with the largest army in the whole continent and a world-famous cavalry.

However, no one knew that the country was already terminally ill.

The land of redemption is barren and bitter cold. Hundreds of years ago, no one would have come here.

At that time, only the strong men of mankind used this place as a paradise to travel, and came here to hunt demonic beasts and let the harsh natural environment sharpen their will.

And after the final battle, in a desperate situation, human beings came to this place that was countless times smaller than the God-given continent. Think of this as a last resort.

Relying on the Broken Sky Mountain Range, the human race blocked the pursuit of the demons.

And in order to survive, humans and monsters fight for every inch of land that can grow food.

No one knows how tough it is. The grain of the Land of Salvation can only be harvested once a year. And for this little bit of food to survive, people have to guard it carefully for nine months.

They fight against the wind disaster, the sky drought, the blizzard, and the monsters.

Day after day.

And in this long day. If one day there is an irresistible disaster, then. All the hard work will be in vain, and all the hard work will be lost.

No one's food can last until the third year.

Therefore, if there is no harvest in the second year, then people can only endure hunger. There are only a few relatively strong people. In order to hunt and plunder, they can live until the next harvest, while most ordinary people can only wait for death.

A year of natural disasters is a disaster.

Natural disasters for two consecutive years. It is to destroy miè.

If a large-scale natural disaster occurs for three consecutive years, then even the top nobles of the empire will become yellow-faced and thin-skinned refugees. They or their hands, which are not touched by the spring water, will be cultivated in the mud, because by that time, there is no one left to work for them.

To survive is already luck.

This is the current state of human existence in the Land of Redemption. And the Feilie Empire, located in the southwest of the Salvation Continent, has an even harsher environment.

Three hundred years of peace have allowed the human beings who have redeemed the continent to recuperate.

And the increase in population is not a good thing for the food-strapped Ferry Empire. The reason why the empire maintains such a large army is simply that the empire needs the army to expand its territory and find more food and resources to feed the empire's growing population, or rather, let them die.

The dead don't waste food.

And war, is the best way to consume the population.

This is another survival of the fittest in nature, a means of maintaining the balance of nature, and at the same time, a necessary measure to maintain the rule of the empire and the extravagant enjoyment of the aristocracy.

The aristocracy did not need much of a population. They just need the necessary population to cultivate the land. If eight people could do all the work, they wouldn't be able to feed ten. If one person can do it, so much the better. They will have more wealth for themselves to splurge and enjoy.

And the excess population, they are used to wage war.

This is the tradition of the Philae Empire, whether it is internal or external, the necessary war is like a game of cards between nobles.

No one will say anything if you can win money at the table, such as annexing a neighboring minor nobleman. It's just a talking point, just like at the poker table where the last card was played right or wrong. They may envy how much the winner gets, but they don't think about the cards that are played.

Or rather, those who died.

Now, the domestic problems of the Filie Empire have become more and more serious.

After conquering the barbarians in the northwest, there was no place in the country to wage war, and there was no land to be cultivated.

Therefore, Peter I exported the war to the Solan Empire.

Compared to the barren Philip Empire, the Solan Empire has more arable land. In particular, the province of Lulian in the south, close to the sea and the storage of several grain-producing regions, is almost like a paradise.

Peter I had already coveted the lands of his neighbors. And seeing that the Lanris people were trying to use the method of marrying Princess Elethea to seize the control of the Solan Empire without blood, he knew that if he didn't do it again, there would be no chance.

If he drags on any longer, he will not only have to face a stronger opponent, but also the growing rebellion in the country will cause the crater under his throne to erupt completely.

Peter I was an iron-blooded emperor.

He ascended to the throne by shedding blood. Also ruling the empire by bloodshed. I'm afraid that even if he dies, he will use blood to hold his funeral.

So, he gave the order for an all-out attack on Saint-Soran.

After the Phillips invaded Solan, they had no scruples about killing. This was the will of Peter I. The reason is simple. Because he doesn't need these Solans at all. He just wants this land. The population, which is large in the Philip Empire, only needs to immigrate them.

The sound of water has been heard.

Tielun stood on the cliff. Look at the waterfall I passed before.

Compared to Fire, it's beautiful. It was so beautiful that he was filled with a desire to conquer. As long as the fjord is taken, the Empire's conquest of Lulian will be unstoppable.

In a few years, Sir Tielun will become an earl, marquis, or even duke of Tielun. Become one of the rulers of the land!

All the stumbling blocks in front of you will be kicked away by yourself.

I've killed quite a few people myself, now. Don't mind killing a few more. I don't mind just going on killing like this. On the road to status, power and wealth, blood and dry bones are just embellishments.

Even if it's a trumpet for the soul, it's so wonderful.

On the side of the steep path, Tielun dismounted and walked down. He had always wondered how powerful the mysterious Soran army that could make both Nazi and Buzz fight. Where they come from and who they are made of. Who is the Commander?

And now, the answer lies ahead.

..............................

..............................

Red Scorpion Corridor. The two armies were a kilometer apart, silently facing each other.

On both wings, the cavalry of the squad was running back and forth, suddenly approaching, suddenly detouring, and suddenly crossing. Occasionally, they throw arrows at each other with bows and arrows, looking for opportunities to attack.

Both sides are waiting for their opponents to make mistakes.

"Something is wrong," Makuya stared at the Solan force in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, "The commander of the other party has changed." It's not the one you just had. ”

Zi Sen stood beside the curtain and nodded.

He also found that in just over a prayer hour after leaving the battle, this Solan reinforcement army in Muni City seemed to have been reborn.

Their actions have become more swift and aggressive. The movement of the team is strictly forbidden and thorough, and it is difficult to find flaws and flaws.

In the previous contact, Azusa Sen and Makuya once played this Solan army around.

In front of the elite Black Lightning Knight, the enemy simply can't keep up with the rhythm. The curtain can easily find their flaws, induce them to make mistakes, and plunge them into chaos.

Although the strength is inferior to that of his opponent, Azusa Sen believes that as long as there is enough time, even if Tie Lun does not come, Mu Ye and himself will be able to defeat this Solan army.

But now, an opponent who was once riddled with holes and loopholes has suddenly become elusive.

During the period of time when the two sides confronted each other and tried to probe each other, several attacks in the night were lightly defused by the opponent. And the traps that could have been certain that the other party would jump in were all invalid.

Especially just now, a squad on the left flank feinted defeat and tried to lure the opponent into pursuit, but when the opponent was able to chase to the edge of the danger area, he turned his horse's head, swept past the edge of the trap, and calmly turned back to his own position.

At that time, Zisen's feeling was like seeing that the fish had bitten the bait, and when he was about to pull the hook, he found that the bait had been eaten, but the fish had not been caught.

Such a watertight command skill was definitely not possessed by the Solan commander they had faced before.

This guy is amazing!

Because of this person's existence, the army in front of him has also become difficult to deal with. If the current situation continues, it will be difficult for Azusa to guarantee that he and Makuya will be able to stop each other's progress.

Staring at the Solan military array in the distance, Zi Sen frowned slightly, and muttered: "Solan's military strength has always been weak, not only the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not high, but there are few outstanding figures in terms of battle command. The only people who can be ranked are Safin and a group of old people......"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the night, "Who could this person be in front of us?"

"It won't be Solan who has become famous," Muya shook his head and said, "Those people are the treasures of the Solan Empire, and any one of them makes a mistake will be a huge blow to this weak empire." They were reluctant to let these people risk their lives with an army of only a few thousand in number......"

The corners of the mouth of the night. Evoking a sneer, "And in Lulian, there is no opponent worth mentioning at all, if I am not mistaken, there is only one person who will appear here at this time......"

Azusa Mori's eyes rolled. Suddenly, he said: "You mean, Adolf's youngest daughter ......"

"Sophia!" Mu Ye nodded, "This youngest daughter of Grand Duke Lulian, the Flower of Lulian, is said to be born with intelligence and extremely high military intelligence. In the withering talent of the Loulian family, it is the mainstay. The Empire attacked Lulian in vain, and suffered a crushing defeat at the city of Medin. It was given by this woman. ”

He gently tapped his palm with his horsewhip, squinted his eyes, and said, "Now, Your Excellency Benson has broken through the Dragon Gate defense line of the Solan Empire, and the soldiers are invincible. Even if he knew that the direction of attack of His Excellency Benson's army was south, the Solan Empire could only hold the central gateway of Atlanta.

Coupled with the teacher's strategy, the odd soldiers attacked Adolf and besieged him. The situation in Lulian is out of control. Now this is just an abyss. No amount of resources invested is a waste. Under such circumstances, no one wants to wade into this muddy water......"

As he spoke, Mu Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Except for Sophia!"

"Is it her?!" Azusa muttered, his brow furrowed slowly.

If it's really Sophia, then this battle is not easy to fight.

Azusen once listened to the teacher's analysis of the battle in Medin City.

Reputedly. At that time, Lulian's main force originally agreed with the Fifth Army of the Solan Border Army to fight a decisive battle with the Southern Army of Ferret under the city of Medding. However, at the critical period when the Philae army was approaching the city, Solan's Fifth Army crossed the Celestial River and left Adolf to the Philem army as a containment. But he took the opportunity to attack Fei Li's back road and reap the merits.

And it was under such circumstances that the Solan army, under the command of Sophia, achieved a great victory.

Although the battle of Medin City was one of the accidents of the extraordinary performance of the rabble army, according to Minai's analysis, in this battle, whether it was the decisive retreat of Solan's main force before, or the capture and grasp when the fighters appeared later, Sophia's command was excellent.

When retreating, the troops retreated slowly and without panic. When attacking, it is like a tiger coming out of the gate, as fast as lightning. Breakthrough, pursuit, division, encirclement, step by step, fierce and ruthless. Even if Minai asked himself in Sophia's position at that time, Cheng Dù who could do it was nothing more than that.

And at this moment, fighting in person, Zisen's awesomeness towards Sophia has an extra layer of personal experience.

In the face of such an opponent, even with his confidence in the night, he can't help but be a little worried. After all, your own forces are at a disadvantage, and if you are broken through by Sophia, the consequences will be ......

As he spoke, the knights of the two sides had already fought for several rounds.

Obviously, the strength of the Black Lightning Knight is much higher than that of the other party, and the battle formation is cooperative, and the team is more well-trained and more rigorous and tacit, but it does not take advantage of the slightest advantage. No matter how the Solan army advances or retreats, it is quite disciplined, and it does not leak, and it does not give its own side the slightest chance at all.

If the fight continues like this for a long time, it will be quite disadvantageous for the Feilie Army, which is at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

After all, the Solan Knight can rotate back and forth, but the Philip Knight can't get a break. Even if they lose in the end, the five important places in the fjord are still under the control of the Solans.

"Worried?" Seeing Zisen's frowns, he asked.

Azusa nodded.

To be honest, the hunch in his heart is indeed not very good.

Originally, in the eyes of their five masters, seizing the fjord was an easy thing to do. Unexpectedly, the situation has evolved to such a point.

Not only did Minai ask for none of the five strategic points taken, but even Naqi and Buz lost their traces, and their lives were uncertain.

If Sophia in front of her is still a threat on the surface, then the mysterious Solan army on the Western Front makes Zisen even more uneasy.

"Tie Lun's side, there won't be any problems, right?" Zi Sen asked after steadying his mind.

"Take Qi carelessly, Bouz is reckless," said Mu Ye lightly, "It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong with the two of them." However, if the other party thinks that Tie Lun is also so easy to deal with, then he may have made the wrong decision. ”

As he spoke, Makuya turned his head to look at Zi Sen, "If it were you, how sure would you be that you would attack Tie Lun when he was already alert?"

Zi Sen was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure! If I want to attack him forcibly, I may be swallowed by him in one gulp!"

"Among us, Tie Lun's style of use of troops is the most fierce and fierce. Even if it's to push him into a corner. He will bite back when he is dying," said Makuya, "Even if it is me, I am not sure of victory against him." The other party wants to kill Tie Lun, it's a fool's dream!"

As he spoke, he looked into the distance. "As long as Tie Lun can arrive in time, we will win this battle. ”

"Then ...... now," Azusa asked.

"Wait!" Muya sneered, "he'll need at least five prayer hours to get here." Solan people are in a hurry, we are not in a hurry. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look behind him.

There, a mountain like a hat, standing quietly under the blue sky and white clouds. That's the south side of Red Scorpion Canyon. It is a natural pass.

This was the main reason why Matsuya chose this place as the location to intercept Solan's reinforcements.

With their backs to this hill and their condescending position, no matter how fierce the offensive of the Solan people is, they will not want to break through without paying a great price.

Right now, the battle area is still far from the mountains to the north, and there is still a lot of space behind them. Just retreat slowly. Hold on to a dozen prayer hours, or even a day or two, while preserving the strength of the troops. It's not a problem.

When Tie Lun arrives, he will not only have to stop Sophia here, but even if he is Solan's main force, he will not want to take a step beyond the thunder pool!

And who, can stop themselves?!

...........................

...........................

In the mountains of the southern fjord. Armies of Filies, like long dragons, marched along the winding mountain roads.

"Quick!"

A Ferri officer roared and urged his men to rush to the front of the line.

"Speed up!"

The roar of the officers. Echoing in the valley. Looking at their ice-like faces, the soldiers gritted their teeth and quickened their pace.

In the center of the procession, a huge silver elephant walked slowly.

Each step of it is equivalent to an ordinary soldier running a dozen steps with all his might. As a result, although it may seem slow, it can move extremely fast. Even on narrow mountain roads, they are flat and steady, and they are like flying.

Mina's long body stood quietly on the head of the silver elephant. As the giant elephant moved, the mountain wind blew in his face, blowing his long hair. Behind him, several Feilie generals held their breath and stood with their hands tied. The gaze of everyone who looked at Mina was filled with deep awe.

Everyone who knows Minai knows that although the face of this gentle and elegant Philip general seems to be calm, in fact, he is already angry!

Since being appointed by Peter I to take over the command of the Southern Army of Philae, Minai has been in control of the situation.

He first defeated Lulian's main force with a textbook night attack, forcing Adolf, who was Lulian's soul, to hold the camel pass. Immediately afterwards, he used Adolf as a bait to design a series of designs to transfer the main force of the Solan army to the Night Canyon, and surprise the fjord, completely opening the door to the north of Lulian.

In terms of strategy and tactics, even the most unconvinced people have to admit that Minai is more than a step above his opponents, completely playing the Solan people in the palm of his hand.

After Fano's army had crossed the White Horse Slope, the battle had already entered the steps of Minais - dragging Fano, capturing Adolf, and advancing out of the fjord to the Hilley River, splitting Lulian in two. After this battle, the whole of Lulian will become the pocket of the empire, and everything will be under control.

But no one expected that at this time, two incredible news came.

The first news is that Adolf, who was already a turtle in an urn, successfully jumped out of the encirclement with the help of a force of Ferry Knights, and disappeared!

After besieging it for so long, it was heavily guarded, and Adolf was allowed to escape, and all his efforts were wasted. It has to be said that this is a heavy blow to the proud and conceited Mina.

However, what made Minai even more angry was not Adolf slipping through the net, but the fjord!

Nazi and Buzz go missing, and at night, Azusa and Tielun are forced to turn in!

The five important lands have not been taken, and they are all in the hands of the Solan people!

This can no longer be described as incompetent.

Two small castles, two military villages, and a watchtower. Such a goal, not to mention the five masters who are disciples of Minai himself, have outstanding talents, and have experienced a hundred battles. Even if you send some ordinary legions, you will have taken it a long time ago.

However, a few of them missed at night.

Not only did he miss, but even Nazi and Buzz were uncertain.

There was a dead silence among the generals.

Looking at Mina's back, they didn't even dare to come out.

After a long time, Mina turned her head. There was no expression on that handsome and elegant face.

He sat down on the wide wooden chair and said slowly, "It seems that I still underestimate the Solan people. Originally, I thought that in a place like Lulian, there were few opponents worth paying attention to, even Adolf. But I didn't expect that at the end of the game, it gave me such a big surprise!"

The generals all bowed their heads and did not dare to say anything.

"Our opponents seem to have suddenly become smarter," Minai said thoughtfully, tapping his fingers on the armrest, "to be able to see through my plan and make them suffer such a big loss...... I'm curious to know which of Solan's famous generals came to Lulian to compete with me!"

The generals remained silent.

Minai looked up at the sky, and for a moment she was stunned, her gaze falling and sweeping over everyone's faces.

"Pass my orders!" Mina said calmly.

The generals stood straight with their chests solemn.

"The troops hastened forward, and the main force must reach the fjord within fifteen prayer hours," said Minai in a cold voice, "and order the Knights to break away from the brigade and rush with me to the fjord." ”

As he spoke, Mina's fingers were already smashing the sturdy wooden handrail.

A grim light flickered in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I want to see who this gentleman who stands in our way......!" (To be continued......)
