Chapter 379: A Gambler's Expedition to the West

After the stalemate in the Shandong Boundary Mountain of the Divine Realm lasted for half a month, the battle situation finally ushered in a new change. The www.biquge.info Imperial side of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion gathered about 100,000 imperial troops stationed in the west and drove mightily to the West Boundary Mountain. And the one in charge of unifying the army is the general of the Imperial Army, and this time he was specially promoted to the rank of general.

In the fortress's office, Imperial Marshal Miridrian sighed deeply after carefully reading the emperor's edict sent by the imperial capital.

Seeing this, Di Lan, who was always by the marshal's side, couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency, is there anything wrong?"

"Dilan, your prophecy from the other day has hit beautifully. Your Majesty, no, probably our Prime Minister has decided to open a second front. By this time, the army must have begun to assemble. It will depart in a week at the earliest, and will depart in 10 days at the latest. ”

"Your Excellency, are you still against this strategy?"

"Ahh Miridian nodded, "Still, you know. It would be better for me to come up with this strategy. ”

"What's going on?"

"Dilan, as a means of breaking the deadlock. Although the strategy of opening a second front makes me extremely uneasy, it is not impossible to think about it rationally. However, our Prime Minister does not seem to see anything but possibility, and this is called self-inflicted cleverness. ”

What happened to the end?

Dylan looked at Miridrian in confusion, so the latter smiled at him and finally stopped sighing, but explained well: "It's not a big problem to send troops, but the way to send troops is really terrible. ”

With that as he spoke, Miridian folded up the long scroll containing the Emperor's edicts, highlighted a certain passage, and handed it to Dilan.

After taking the folded scroll and reading it quickly, Dylan couldn't help but be shocked.

"Actually transferred the garrison in the west! And according to this arrangement, wouldn't the princes' territories bordering the Western Boundary Mountain become empty cities after sending troops!"

"Exactly. In this way, it is good that the Western Expeditionary Army is victorious, and once defeated, the enemy can take advantage of the situation to encroach on all the surrounding land. It's simply a gambler's practice. ”

"The troops we are using now are basically drawn from the central and western regions, and even the prime minister should not forget this! Why do we still have to transfer troops from the west? Even if it takes some time here, we should recruit troops from the east, which has enough troops!"

"It's not just a matter of time. Miridrian sighed, "Your Excellency, you probably don't dare to recruit the Eastern Army. ”

"Don't dare? Why?"

"Because, our nobles are so stupid. Now that Count Bazan is no longer there, his territory has naturally become a hot object of contention among the surrounding princes. Among them was the Count of Lundbell. ”

"Count Lundbell, but didn't he suppress the rebels in the northeast......?"

"Ahh That's it. In order to grab the land, the guy gave up continuing the repression. As a result, the rebels, who had been given a chance to breathe, made a comeback and became more troublesome than before. ”

"But, even so, as for keeping all the eastern garrisons still?"

"That's the essence of our prime minister. is obviously so big, and he is ruthless in doing things, but his courage is unexpectedly small. ”

"In that case, Your Excellency, I think you should send a letter to General Rabitu at once to secretly take over the command of the Western Expeditionary Army. That's the only way to make sure you're sure!"

"Haha. Miridrian smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Dilan, I remember I told you before that not every general in the Imperial Army will obey me. ”

Hearing this, Dilan couldn't help but be stunned, and then said nervously: "Could it be that General Lafotu is one of those 'no'!"

"That's right. Otherwise, why do you think the prime minister named Lafotu to lead the Western Expeditionary Army? It's just because he won't listen to me. But if you don't listen to me, you may not listen to him. ”

"Your Excellency, what do you mean by that?"

"Dilan, hounds usually follow the instructions of their owners to hunt existence, but there are also strange things, once they are scattered, they will eventually come back, but where they will run and what they will bring back is not something that the owner can control. ”

"Is this General Lafortu?"

"It's a great achievement, and it's just for yourself. That guy still has some merit as a general, but it's too far from the position of a general. The best outcome of the Western Expedition is that it will not lose. But in the event of a big defeat or even a fiasco......"

Dylan swallowed, he felt that the marshal was going to say something very bad, and that was exactly what it was.

"There's no point on our side!" Miridrian said, standing up and walking to the window and looking back at the way back to the Empire, "I'll send a letter of advice." But I think we'd better prepare for a retreat first. ”

In the area bordering the western boundary mountain of the Divine Realm, the main city of the Eternal Night Forest Swamp, the "Black Bamboo Forest", the temporary command post of the four knights who were strategically arranged to guard here was set up.

At this moment, four people were sitting around the long table, and it was none other than the heads of the Knights, Duke Edlaide, Edman Schüzer, Huang He, and Bordeaux Lonsminster.

Among them, the dominant one is naturally Duke Edlaide, who holds the title of Marshal of the Kingdom Army. Now this meeting is also convened by him.

After picking up the "black tea" that is a specialty of the Eternal Night Forest Marsh, Duke spoke with a smile: "That friend who traveled to the north a few days ago finally brought us back a souvenir. ”

"Hmph!" Edman snorted coldly, "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing with us! Isn't it just the secret agent! That's the guy named 'Shabby' who was recommended by the Red Demon King, right? ”

"About that. I think we should apologize to His Excellency Shabé. Duke smiled appreciatively, "Don't look like that, but he's done a pretty good job." The gifts he brought back mainly included a rough map of the entire empire, topographical maps of various regions, especially the terrain near the northern pass of the Western Boundary Mountain, which he would use for the first time in the future, and he personally proofread and marked it in detail. In addition to this, there is an accurate piece of information that Lord Edelman should like. ”

"Should you say that you are worthy of being a member of the original thief group?" Huang He sneered, "The ability to steal is really amazing. ”

"Huang He. Bordeaux reminded with some dissatisfaction, "We still have witness protection regulations. He has already said that he will not pursue the previous matter. Moreover, he is now atoning for his sins in his own way. ”

"That's fine!" Edman slammed his fist on the table. The rude gesture made both Huang He and Bordeaux frown. Edman looked at Duke indifferently and asked, "What is that news that I would really like?"

Hearing this, Duke laughed slyly.

"The Imperial Army has already sent a Western Expeditionary Army. ”

"Great!" Edman was ecstatic, "that is, it's finally our turn!"

"Exactly. So, let's enjoy the rare war event. Saying this, Duke couldn't help but smile hideously.
