Because half of Hicks' prestige is due to the efforts of this woman.

For Earl Hicks Nelson to have such a beautiful and charming partner, with rare skills and strength, it makes many nobles feel envious and even jealous.

These aristocratic lords who are intriguing and intriguing have no other hobbies, and they are usually idle and moldy, and the women around them have become the objects of their show-off.

And this woman is also very empathetic, and never makes Hicks feel embarrassed.

"I'm worried about this war launched by our Highness. Hicks reached out and stroked Hetty's smooth thigh, his face sad.

"We came with 50,000 troops to support Count Ica this time, and that man's men are only about 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, so we won't be at a disadvantage, right?"

Hetty chuckled, reached out and took Hicks' large hand, whispering reassurance.

"Yes, the 50,000 army, plus the fact that the Zhelun Province and Lord Sandra are left behind in the White Sword Province, we really don't have to be afraid of that person, but I don't know why I always feel uncomfortable in my heart. ”

Hicks sighed and took his hand off Hetty's thigh, and now he felt like he had been poured cold water on it, and his interest was half gone.

“......”

Hetty bit her lower lip and didn't know what to say to comfort him, so she could only look at him worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just don't know why there is always a trace of uneasiness in my heart, maybe the pressure brought to me by the Marquis of Asa is too great. Hicks continued.

In fact, he was a little broken when he learned that Phil had given up on continuing to attack the Marquis of Asa's province of Lake, and instead pointed his sword at Jason in the north.

In his opinion, the threat brought to Phil by a young prince who was not an adult was far inferior to that of the Marquis of Asa, even if he had the right to inherit the throne.

Only those who really rose up in the same era as the Marquis of Asa really understood the horror of that man, and all the people of their generation had come this far in his shadow.

"Marquis Asa is indeed a difficult person to deal with, but he is still busy attacking the Susin Kingdom, how can he have an impact on the war in the north? ”

An elusive look flashed in Hetty's eyes, and she continued to comfort her, who had dealt with the Marquis of Asa, a man who seemed to be particularly easy to deal with, but who was the most difficult person to deal with.

There is not a single nobleman in the kingdom of Lopez who is not in awe of him.

"I'm worried about His Highness Phil too......" Hicks pushed the carriage away, looking into the distance at the gate that was gradually opening at the Settlement Fortress.

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

"Lord Baron, the mountain road ahead is blocked!"

Baron Donte had been leading his army for several days, with little time to rest each day, all in order to be able to join General Pannick as soon as possible, and then flank Jason's army back and forth, as long as Jason's army could be broken before there was a crisis at Baria Pass, then the farce would be over.

What he didn't expect was that he chose to cross the mountains to avoid the army sent by Jason, but he was still blocked in the middle of the road.

He ignored the blue eagle flying high in the sky, as well as the ancient falcon herders.

"Give the whole army an order to stop advancing. ”

Baron Donte's face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered, and then asked with a gloomy expression: "Have you found the enemy in front?"

"Nope. ”

The scout's face was solemn and ugly, which was the most puzzling to him, since he had the ability to block their way to the upper mountain rocks in the valley, why didn't he stay here and ambush them?

Word of the power of the Iron Fang's giant catapult had spread in the north, and if they had assembled a dozen catapults here, Baron Donter's army would have to leave a lot of corpses behind before they could pass.

"Order the army to line up in formation, guard the mountains and forests around us, and send out all the scouts!"

Baron Donte rode on his horse and vigilantly observed the sparse mountains and forests around him, pressing his right hand on the hilt of his sword, guarding against another hidden arrow to hurt people.

"Lord Baron, do you think we've jumped into their encirclement?" Just as he was quietly observing his surroundings, a general came to his side and whispered a reminder in a low voice.

He was afraid that once this speculation was heard by others, it would affect the stability of the army's morale, and if there was chaos within the army at this time, it would be in big trouble.

Hearing this, Baron Donte's forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat, yes, has he already stepped into the enemy's ambush circle with his army?

"Pass the order, the rear army will become the front army, the front army will become the rear army, send someone to order the grain transportation team to turn around and retreat the same way immediately!"

He immediately gave a very decisive order, but immediately changed his order, and he yelled with a blue face: "No! Inform the grain transport army to line up in place to defend against possible enemies, and send two thousand black-armored troops to quickly support and protect it, and there must be no accidents in the grain and grass!"

Because the grain army is too slow and always some distance from the main army, it is the most vulnerable target of the entire army.

And once they lose this food, it means that the food they carry with them is not enough to support them to rush to General Panik.

"Yes, Lord Baron!" the general who had just reminded Baron Dontes immediately turned straight and hurried away to give orders.

After he had left, Baron Donte looked again at the road in front of him, which was blocked by boulders, and it was impossible to clear it in a day.

He temporarily changed his route in order to avoid Roland's blocking army, but he was still blocked, and now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, and his situation is really not optimistic.

On the other hand, his daughter Audrey will also face the biggest crisis in her life in more than 20 years, because Atum, a madman, has actually gathered 8,000 troops in just a few days and is slowly marching towards the Barria Pass.

However, it is still about half a month before the reinforcements from China arrive, and I don't know if the two people who look like Audrey and Cecil can cooperate to support it for so long.

"General Cecil, we are about to face a great crisis now, I wonder how Atum managed to escape from the Barria Pass, and if he holds some secret passage or something?"

So Audrey came to Cecil's mansion under the protection of several guards, her pretty face was tense, and she asked straight to the point as soon as they met.
