Clovis' army had been marching for five days. After the magician applied the speed increase magic state, the average soldier also ran about three times the original speed. In these five days, they traveled a distance of more than 800 kilometers and entered the southern region.

The phalanx of magicians, with three-quarters of its manpower, was divided and rushed to the border between Clovis and Poongga.

Bill Eugens and Anne are in the vanguard of the Wizards.

At this moment, they camped more than 20 kilometers away from the border line to rest and reorganize. Of course, it is said to be resting and rectifying, but in fact, for most magicians who have flying mounts or flying tools to travel, there is basically no need. They were stationed here for two main purposes, one was to wait for the arrival of the large army, and on the other hand, they were also waiting for an opportunity to inquire about the situation on the side of Pontah.

According to the speed of the infantry, it would take about ten days to reach here. After giving instructions to recuperate, Bill sent a small team of about five magicians to Ponca to inquire about the situation, and he himself took Anne and a dozen other high-ranking magicians to the summit.

Bill led the way ahead. Two other old magicians, who were about fifty or sixty years old and had gray hair, followed Bill from left to right, as the deputy commanders of the phalanx of magicians. Anne walked behind the old magician, keeping her father at arm's length. Behind her, there are other well-known magicians or big names in magical families. They looked at Anne and couldn't help frowning slightly, it was really Anne who looked too young and dressed too openly, and such a young woman squeezed in front of them, which made their faces a little unsightly.

One of them, a black-bearded black-robed magician with a solemn face, lowered his voice and secretly asked the other person next to him, "Do you know her?"

The magician next to him was short and fat, he shook his head, and said, "I don't know, I've never seen it." ”

"Which family ran out to experience the wild girl, right? ...... so ignorant of the rules."

......

A group of more than a dozen people climbed to the top of the mountain.

Bill looked into the distance, and twenty kilometers away, there was a large river that meandered and flowed. This great river was the dividing line between the two empires of Clovis and Ponca and was called the Sisty River.

"Count Eukins. An old magician in the deputy commander spoke, "I heard that more than 100 years ago, the Pompa Empire was set up by a grand magister near the Sisti River with a huge induction magic array. Our infantry and cavalry, as soon as they cross the river and set foot on the territory of Ponca will be immediately sensitive. I wonder if there's such a thing?"

Bill's face was slightly gloomy, and he pinched his chin with his hand, and after about half a minute, he said, "I have heard about this matter, but no one has been able to know whether it is true or false." Therefore, here we need to be doubly cautious. There are still ten days to go before the big force arrives, and in the meantime, I hope that this matter should be clarified anyway. I've sent a team of five magicians before, all of them riding fast flying props, and all of them are good at stealth, so they should be the best to explore the real world. ”

"The number of people is small, but it is also safe. The other lieutenant, the old magician, nodded.

"So, we need to wait for them to come back. Hopefully, it will bring good news. "Bill Road.

"Count Eukins, are we going to cross the river from there when the army arrives?" asked the black-bearded black-robed magician with a solemn face from before, taking a few steps forward and pointing to a bend in the distance of a river.

"There is the first choice. "Bill Road," the slowest current, the shallowest river, and the troops could cross the river directly. However, because of this, there is a possibility that you will encounter strong resistance. Of course, regarding the deployment of large forces, everything is up to Commander Lyle. ”

"However, Lyle was always the commander-in-chief of the army. The black-robed magician continued, "It's not that I don't trust him. This time, we should be the main force of the battle, right? Shouldn't they be cooperating with us?"

Several people in the back also echoed and agreed.

"When the two countries are at war and conquering cities, they must still be dominated by ordinary armies. There is no doubt that we are only here this time to break through the magic array that may exist, and to deal with the magicians of the Poonga Empire. Moreover, Commander Lyle is eloquent and strategic, and he also has experience working with magicians. Don't worry about that. Bill turned and said to the crowd.

Bill knew that at this juncture, the voice of the entire army must be in unison. Otherwise, there will definitely be unforeseen changes!

Just when everyone was talking, there was a young boy next to him who did not participate in the discussion. Or rather, he had no interest in what everyone was talking about, and all his attention fell on Anne, who stood quietly on the side.

Born in a big magical family, he also grew up with a golden key, and when he became an adult, he also received a knighthood, and met many high-class celebrities, but he had never seen such a beautiful and moving stunner as Anne!

"Ahem...... Brother Childe cleared his throat, took a few steps in the direction of Anne, and then said politely, "Hello, this beautiful young lady. Let me introduce myself, I am the heir of the Dilap family, Gail Dilap. Dare to ask Miss's name?"

I have to say that this Gail Dilap is still a talent, and his status as the heir of the Dilap family can touch the hearts of many girls. In the past, Gail also successfully accosted many girls in this way, and most of them were slept with by him.

"Your name is Gail?" Anne turned her head and glanced at him.

"Exactly!"

"It's a terrible name. Anne lashed out mercilessly, "You want to strike up a conversation with me?"

"Uh......" Gail didn't expect to receive such a reply at all, his face was a little red for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, his reaction was quite quick, and after a while, his mind turned around, and he coughed dryly, still politely replied, "Of course, I think there is no man who would not be tempted by a beautiful woman like you." I'm certainly no exception!"

"Oh?" Anne raised an eyebrow, a little surprised by Gail's response, and then laughed boldly, "Well, if you can answer one of my questions." I'll promise to date you!"

When Gale heard this, he immediately became excited, thinking that there is such a good thing? It seems that my young master Gale is very charming!

"Tell me!"

Anne set her eyes on the river in the distance, and there was a rare hint of gloom in her gaze.

"My question is, why are we fighting this war?" said Anne.

"Oh, it's easy. When Gail heard this, he hurriedly said, "I know best why this war was started. Look!"

As he spoke, Gale pointed to the mountains and plains on the other side of the river, and continued: "A hundred years ago, our Clovis dynasty was vast. At that time, the border between Clovis and Poonga was supposed to be on the other side of the river! Later, the Ponga Empire launched an unreasonable invasion, and finally cut off a large part of our land, resulting in the current boundary of this river. The Clovis dynasty endured humiliation for many years, and now the time is finally ripe. Why are we fighting this war? Just to take back our land!"

"Hehe, is it?......" Anne laughed a few times, then turned to look at Gail, the original smiling face suddenly became gloomy, and the whole body began to emit a trace of black gas, "It's all! War is evil! All wars are wrong." ”

Gale was taken aback by Anne's change, and he felt a terrible chill rush over him, and he couldn't help but shiver, and stammered a little, "But we are on the side of justice! ”

"No war is just. Anne sneered, "It's all just a trick of the rulers. For those ordinary people, war will only be a disaster! I'm sorry that you were not able to answer my question, and don't appear in front of me again in the future, otherwise, I will see you and hit you again. ”
