In the Balia region, a dense jungle at this time. Like any other jungle, this is home to monsters, as it is sparsely populated. But among the many jungles, only this place is special.

Because the people here are far larger than the monsters, in fact, the monsters here are basically killed to extinction. Because the mountains here contain a large number of magic guide stones, the surrounding countries have sent armies to compete.

But the fact that he has been able to maintain the appearance of the jungle for so long is because of his unique geographical location. This is a buffer zone for several countries, although only two or three countries are currently fighting. But no one dares to monopolize this place, because it will be attacked by other countries on the grounds of threatening their territory.

It's easy to say if it's a force, but the charm of these magic guide stones is not bad. Therefore, the occupation of this place is tantamount to declaring hostility against these countries, and it is very troublesome to build walls in this place. Because this is red soil, it is relatively soft, and it is not convenient to build.

Therefore, there is basically not much defense ability to occupy this place, and the strength of all countries is about the same. Therefore, no force has really occupied him, and naturally no one has built anything here, so it still retains his most primitive appearance.

But even this can't hide the battlefield of gunfire, and perhaps the fighting here is not as hot as the big war. However, the small frictions that continue here represent the strength and change of a dynasty, and every time a country is strong, more troops will be sent here.

And the increase in the number of troops will inevitably lead to a deviation of superiority, after all, there is no such thing as the art of war in the West. Therefore, for them, it is more about the strength of the troops and the strength of the soldiers to determine the victory or defeat, and naturally the more soldiers there are, the greater the chance of victory.

But this is just a smile deviation, after all, no matter how powerful a country is, it is impossible to suddenly be outrageously powerful, unless there are other factors. Therefore, the powerful side only controls a little more area, but after all, it still does not dare to take the area under its control as its own.

The two most controlled forces in the area are Warrit and Catlea, a relationship that has lasted for nearly a hundred years. But now it has been broken, yes, a new force has emerged in the region of Baria.

This is not an ordinary force, at least in terms of strength, it is definitely not comparable to the power of these countries. In just a few months, the other troops stationed here have been largely wiped out.

And Catlea's army was almost wiped out, much to the heartache of Duke Walker. After all, the 10,000 people here are his most elite troops, and he originally planned to occupy this place and expand his power to top Yinhu.

But it doesn't matter if you haven't been able to take this place down all these years, and now it's about to be wiped out by the enemy. I guess he was disappointed in this place! Knowing that Zhao Yulong was going to attack here, he didn't have any reaction.

Now Zhao Yulong has arrived here with the army, according to the appearance depicted on the map. This is equivalent to half of Katlea, which means that if you get here, plus your own Balita area, you can basically equal one Katleia.

This is not a small number, after all, the size of a country's fiefdom, plus the supply of resources that are most needed to march and fight. Zhao Yulong is not only able to establish himself as a king, but also can use this place as the center to directly spread to the surrounding area and directly establish a large empire with vast land.

But the premise is that you must occupy this place to have such qualifications to do such a thing, so this place is indeed the top priority. According to the records of the military book, all soldiers must fight for important places and must send heavy troops, but these countries are reluctant to send large armies.

But come to think of it, only one emperor is allowed in a country in the East. In the West, a lord is basically equal to a soil emperor, and their politicians are not in harmony, but they cannot concentrate a large army.

And if you act alone, basically except for some big lords, everyone's troops are too small to send troops at all. And those big lords can't produce many troops, at most there are only more than 10,000 people.

Therefore, it is funny that such an important place has been ownerless for so many years. If it is placed in the east, it is estimated that there are many countries that basically want to take such a place with their entire army!

And Zhao Yulong has only brought 4,000 people now, so he naturally regrets it now. However, considering that the other countries have basically been wiped out, then the only remaining enemy army is just that mysterious army, so it is not very difficult.

It's a pity that there is no way to know the details of the other party, otherwise this battle will be much easier. And now we can only look at one step at a time, and we can only hope that the enemy army is not particularly cunning, otherwise it will be really difficult to fight.

Now that the tent has been set up, it is still under the control of Catalea. Basically, there are fewer chances of enemy troops, so it's better to set up camp here.

At this time, Zhao Yulong was sitting on a chair, and Jing Rui, Meng Liang, and Hu Yun were still standing beside him. There is no way, the march can't carry too many things, so this chair is just that.

"How long has it been since we've lost?" Zhao Yulong put down the half-seen book in his hand and asked Jing Rui and them.

"When I think about it, the last time I lost seemed like a year ago. We've fought a lot of battles since then and we've always won, what's wrong?"

"I think it's time for us to lose a good game, and it's the kind of loss that we lose. Zhao Yulong got up and looked outside the tent: "In a war, there must be losses and wins, and it is not enough to win without losing! If we keep winning, if we lose, we can't afford to lose!"

"I see what you mean, our team really needs a defeat too much. These days they have long been impetuous. Especially when we attacked the Lore snow before, it was too easy for us to win. Jing Rui nodded.

"Speaking of the Luoer Snowfield, Meng Liang, how many people did you bring from the snow this time?" said Zhao Yulong looked at Meng Liang, although Zhao Yulong did not inform him to come, he still came here with some soldiers.

"It's probably more than a thousand! Brother Long, didn't you say it in the letter?" said Meng Liang and took out a letter.

"Letter, what letter? Why don't I know?" Zhao Yulong remembered that he hadn't written any letter to Meng Liang, and now he was naturally puzzled, so he took the letter in his hand.

"I didn't write it, but it's handwritten. It looks like someone should have cheated on you. After reading a few lines, Zhao Yulong found that the writing skills of this letter writer were indeed strong, and he was able to imitate his own handwriting so similarly.

But this is limited to the demon language, if the words written in the lingua franca of the East want to imitate, it is not necessarily how easy it is. After all, those words are very complicated, and it is basically not too easy to make every stroke the same as other people's.

"Yes, I said, Brother Long, why don't you write it in the lingua franca of the East, it turns out that this is the case. So do I bring the troops back now?" Although he was angry about this matter, Meng Liang did not show such a tone.

Because I have been with Zhao Yulong for so long, I have learned Zhao Yulong's calmness to some extent.

"No need, I guess it's already Duke Walker's new world. You won't get anything when you go back, at least now we still have a thousand people from there. It's not a pity that there are a thousand people who lose the snow in Lore, after all, there is not much important there. ”

"I see, then I'll go down first. With that, Meng Liang was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Zhao Yulong.

"Wait a minute, you still have something to do, in fact, I called everyone here today to arrange the plan, so ...... now" Zhao Yulong looked outside the tent: "Come in if you want to come in, don't stand outside the door." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ellie walked inside with a plate full of fruit, "Can I really come in?"

"Of course, it's not a secret, so why don't you come in. It's really hard for you, and you're still thinking about bringing me fruit here. Saying that, Zhao Yulong sat on the chair.

"No, being considerate of the owner is what we should do. Saying that, Ellie trotted to Zhao Yulong's side like a coquettish and peeled the fruit for him.

But now Jing Rui couldn't stand it anymore: "Zhao Yulong, since you are talking about business, why let an outsider come in, isn't this a bit ...... What if she hears something she shouldn't hear?"

"No, she's not an outsider, she's my servant. Besides, do you think the tent can block out the sound? She listens the same outside as she listens inside, so it is better to let her listen inside than to stand outside and get cold? Besides, the fruit is not tasty if it is frozen. Saying that, Zhao Yulong put a peeled fruit into his mouth.

Jing Rui wanted to say something, but because of Zhao Yulong's face, he didn't say anything, but just asked: "So what is our strategic deployment, could it be that she also wants to participate?"

"Naturally, she doesn't participate, she wants to stay with me. Besides, this time we have to lose once, and it has to be the defeat of the whole army, understand?"

"Why? The victory is not good, but the whole army will be defeated, what if the whole army is destroyed?"

"No, I'm sure, anyway, when the time comes, you will command the battle, and you will only be allowed to lose or win. The worse we lose, the better, so that we can win more later. ”

"I hope you're still in your right mind, with all due respect, you've become a little less like you since this woman appeared. On the march, you'll never stop to pick flowers. And this march, a month's journey, you have spent half a month on picking flowers and chasing butterflies. Zhao Yulong, as a friend, I implore you to see yourself clearly. You are not a gentleman, nor are you a prince. Your bloodline, what your mission is, you should know better than I do!"

"Is that all?" Zhao Yulong didn't care about Jing Rui's words, but inadvertently stuffed the fruit handed by Ellie into his mouth: "There's nothing else, you guys go down first!"

"Farewell!" Jing Rui had never seen Zhao Yulong speak to him with such an attitude, and now he was also on fire. Although I still wanted to make it clear in my heart, I didn't want to say it now, but walked towards the door.

"I don't send it. Saying that, Zhao Yulong swallowed another fruit, and saw Huyun and Meng Liang follow Jingrui out.

"Brother Rui, wait for us, why are you walking so fast?" Now that Hu Yun had just walked out of the camp, he saw that Jingrui had walked a long distance, so he hurriedly ran up.

"Don't follow me, I'm in a bad mood right now and want to be alone. With that, Jingrui ran towards the outside of the tent.

"Oops! Who the hell provoked you, such a big anger, dissipate the anger, dissipate the anger. Saying that, Hu Yun quickly caught up, and now he is walking side by side with Jingrui.

To be honest, walking like this made Meng Liang feel very tired. Because Jing Rui is half a head taller than him, if others take two steps, he has to take three steps to be the same. So he felt like he was jogging now.

"Who else can there be, what did that demon girl do to Zhao Yulong? Now I kindly persuade him, but he doesn't care! I don't want to think about who said that he wants to seize the world, so that the whole world will be free of oppression, and everyone can live well. For the sake of this belief, I should have inherited the family business, but now I have stayed in this place, and what is he doing now? I have forgotten who I am!" said the spear on his back and stabbed straight into the ground.

Then I saw that the body of the gun was pierced directly, and only a three-inch-long tail remained.

"Don't! Brother Rui, it's not right for you to think like this! Maybe Brother Long is just in love, don't forget, you didn't forget anything when you were a sister in Tongtian Academy. But having said that, none of them went to the end, and all of them died under Brother Long's sword, it seems that Brother Rui, your luck is really back!"

"It's just love, where does he like that demon girl. He's completely protecting her now, and there must be something wrong with her. I have to figure it out, go back with me, and arrest the witch to extract a confession. Saying that, Jing Rui had already drawn his spear and was going to walk towards the camp.

It's a long way from the camp now, although you can see the camp. However, this is no longer in Catlea's control zone, which means that enemy forces could be encountered at any time.

"Don't, Brother Rega, it's useless for you to do this. If I were her, I wouldn't say anything at that time even if there was a problem, I would just pretend to be pitiful. Because she knew that Brother Long would not watch her suffer, as long as she didn't say it, there would be nothing wrong. Saying that, Hu Yun grabbed Jingrui.

"Also, that hateful enchantress is simply excessive, and we must find a way to convince him that there is definitely something wrong with this woman. Otherwise......"

"I think Brother Rega, let's forget it! Didn't you and I go to the slave trader a month ago? He said there was no problem, so don't think too much about it. ”

"I think there's something wrong with that slave trader, it's definitely not a good thing that he can sell!"

"You can't say that! Brother Rygo, don't forget that half of the soldiers in our team are from slave traders, and that's not a good thing to say. Okay, let's dissipate our anger, don't worry about this when we go back!" Hu Yun gave Meng Liang, who happened to run over, a look.

But Meng Liang didn't seem to see it, so he still ran over to this side: "Hide quickly, I think I saw something very important." ”

"You can manage what good things can be in this poor mountain and bad water, you better go back and appease Brother Long first! Otherwise, when Brother Rui returns, it will be bad to quarrel." Although these words made Jing Rui not sound good, but now Meng Liang couldn't read his eyes, so he had to say them in person.

But Meng Liang still ran anxiously to this side: "No, what do you see this?" As he spoke, Meng Liang took out a cloth-like thing from the ring.

"It's a military flag, and it looks like it's a lion. Now Jingrui took the cloth with both hands and examined it carefully.

"yes! I picked it up from the ground, and there's no dust on it. Apparently it didn't last long here, and it wasn't dropped because of a battle retreat. It is estimated that he should have fallen without paying attention during the march. ”

"So, there's an army around us?" said Jing Rui, vigilant.

"I think so, Brother Rui, only your teleportation technique among us can convey such a long distance, go and talk to Brother Long. I'm afraid it's too late for the three of us to run back. Speaking of Huyun, Meng Liang had already looked for the surrounding cover and hid.

Although Jingrui is angry now, he is not a child after all. Naturally, it is important to know the temper and military intelligence. Now it doesn't matter whether Zhao Yulong is in the mood to listen to it or not, in short, I will relay the news to him first.

"Okay, Zhao Yulong should know it. If his mind is clear, then he should know what to do. But if I've been brainwashed by that witch, then I can't do anything. In short, our safety is the most important thing now, there are troops nearby, and they must be the first to see us alone. ”

Saying that, Jing Rui also hid, and said to Hu Yun: "You first look around, if there is any shadow of the army, if not, let's be careful and rush towards the camp." ”

"Yes, and I don't think we can leave!" As soon as Hu Yun's words fell, a large number of soldiers appeared around him, surrounding the three of them.

"Yo, it's still some new faces, but you three dare to come to a place like this, name your camp, or take us there, and we might be able to spare you." Otherwise, we won't be able to give you this military flag for nothing!"

Jing Ruizheng wondered why they found this place so easily, it turned out that the military flag was deliberately placed on the ground. Because according to the usual management, the guards who reconnoitred would run towards the camp when they saw anything about the enemy's situation and report it to the general.

And they put the flag there, just waiting for the enemy soldiers to find it and report it to the camp. So that they would be able to follow the soldier, find their camp, and attack by surprise.
