For White's defeat, Qi Tai, who had long known the faces of those aristocratic politicians, was not surprised.

If those nobles had been able to listen to their advice, they would not have gathered so many and extremely bloated armies in the first place.

And the evaluation of Pete has been lowered. When Pete was in Beihai Town and even when he first arrived in the Duchy of Meihe, he was completely the image of the heir of the Duchy full of wisdom. Now it seems that it is just a keen sense of smell as a politician and some cleverness, at best a smart person, far from a wise person.

After saying goodbye to White, the Sails mercenary group led by Qi Tai left the barracks overnight, leaving no message.

As a clear stream of the aristocratic class of the Principality of Meihe, White has no choice but to do his best to obey the mandate of heaven and spread and spread the scope of exploration. It was inevitable that the Dawning Church would make a move, but when and how to do it was like a second boot that had not yet fallen, which made White's heart palpitate.

Eventually, when the reconnaissance range spread to a hundred miles, the last boot fell.

A hundred miles away from the Restoration Army, Murphy looked at the two Restoration Army scouts pressed up by his subordinates, and his sarcasm was overflowing.

"Hehe, waste is waste, I only want to explore the Quartet now, it's too late! The army is acting according to the plan, slowly advancing, the other side is a rabble, this battle, annihilation of the rebels and a party!"

"Where are the heralds?"

Dozens of heralds responded in response.

......

Murphy's big tent was very conspicuous, on a hill in the distance, Diablo was very helpless, he couldn't imagine that the nobles of the Meihe Principality were so useless, working their own, and even did not hesitate to cooperate with the enemies of the church.

"What a puddle of mud! What the hell is that Sayles doing, such obvious drawbacks, I don't even know to remind you of a thing or two. Diablo said annoyedly.

"It's a pity that my Dawn Sect members will be swept away by those three countries again. ”

......

Looking at the three knights covered in wounds in front of him, Pete, who heard that he had been surrounded, couldn't believe it.

Immediately, Pete, who is an excellent politician, calmed down and began to discuss countermeasures with the heads of the families.

A group of politicians discussing military strategy is a very cold joke.

Perhaps, they can talk about swords and swords, but this is not helpful for military affairs.

discussed and discussed, and in the end, the nobles of the Meihe Principality, led by Pete, thought that there was no need to be so alarmed. Besides, with nearly 200,000 troops on their side, the Dawning Church actually wanted to surround and eat their own side in one bite.

White really didn't know where the self-confidence of these people in front of him came from, and he said that he was short-sighted, but they had already discussed the distribution of official positions after the restoration of the country. It's a wine bag and a rice bag, but who here hasn't received elite education since childhood, and belongs to the most elite handful in the Meihe Principality.

Could it be ...... Could it be that the Principality of Meihe is just over? Thinking of this, White couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

White, who was struggling inwardly, did not notice the meaningful glance of Pete sitting at the top.

As time passed, the encirclement under Murphy's command gradually formed, and the side of the Restoration Army remained silent. Pete wanted to fight each other in a decisive battle, but the nobles were worried that their private soldiers would lose too much in the hard fight, so they resigned, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit confrontation.

Until......

"What? Count Toom, who transports the grain and grass, defects? Who can tell me what this is!" said Pete, roaring like an angry lion.

The Restoration Army, which had lost the supply of food and grass, was about to fall into a situation from which it would never recover.

"Break out!" the nobles immediately decided. It has to be said that at the critical moment of life and death, the nobles, who have always been inefficient and forward-looking, broke out with unprecedented decisiveness.

The morale of the Restoration Army has been extremely low, and its combat effectiveness has dropped dramatically. At this moment, what still has the power of a war is the aristocratic private army.

This is not difficult to understand, the aristocratic private army is directly loyal to the family patriarch, and the treatment is much higher than that of the local garrison and other miscellaneous forces. Moreover, the supply of the nobles' private army is the responsibility of the major families themselves, so the combat power is also quite guaranteed.

The house leaked and rained overnight, facing a difficult situation, and the selfish character of the nobles was once again exposed.

Under the leadership of the Marquis of Robbie, the Marquis of Colin, the Earl of Edgar, the Earl of Jerome and other nobles, nearly 80,000 troops led by the nobles' private soldiers, part of the army and local armed forces, robbed the army of the little grain and grass left, and went directly to the east to break through.

In Pete's tent, the patriarchs of the Butulus and Garfields, Bud Buturus and Calvin Garfield, are in the tent discussing with Pete.

Calvin Garfield, one of the three warriors of the Duchy of the Mer, was none other than Marquis Robbie Jacob, who led the army to defect.

"The Jacobs, the Reims, the Simons...... "Okay, good, that's great!" The three "good" words came out, and Pete, who had always been quite calm, laughed wildly.

White would not have been qualified to participate in this kind of thing, but Bud specially brought White over today. Looking at Pete's slightly crazy expression, White was worried.

The situation in front of him is simply the autumn of life and death, under the internal and external troubles, could it be that Pete, who pinned the hopes of the entire principality, was crushed like this?

Suddenly, there was a trace of warmth in White's shoulder, and it was the generous palm of the old Marquis Barton that brought this warmth.

White looked at the expressions of his father and Marquis Calvin, a little relaxed, and a little relieved, very incomprehensible, could it be .......

"Childe, isn't it too risky for us to do this? ”

"Calvin, the plan has been executed to the point where it has been executed, and there is no turning back from the bow, I believe that Childe's plan will definitely succeed!" Bard said with a ruddy face. "My old Bard has been mediocre all his life, I didn't expect that he could do such a big thing in his later years, if this thing is done, although my Meihe Principality is only a principality, it will definitely be able to lay the supreme cause of becoming a kingdom!"

The conversation between the two was inexplicable to White, but faintly, White felt that everything that happened in the Restoration Army must have a great deal to do with it.

"If all goes well with Captain Sayles, he should be almost back in place by now. The drama on my side is full of sincerity, and the success or failure of this plan depends on whether Captain Sayles can complete the task as promised. Pete muttered to himself as he looked south, as if he could see through the tabernacle and through the mountains and rivers.
