After a moment of silence, a man jumped silently from the only weeping sycamore tree on the hillock.

"Miss Garcia. Desserto's expression was a little embarrassed, but more fanatical.

"You've been hiding in a tree for a long time?" Garcia still didn't look back.

"Yes. Desserto bit his cheek and nodded in acknowledgement, "I know you're going to be here." ”

"Why?" asked Garcia, turning to Desserto.

Diseto looked at the female warrior in front of him with some obsession, and muttered, "Garcia, have you forgotten? Three years ago at this time, it was also such a night, and we were here to learn martial arts from each other. ”

"Oh, it seems to be. Garcia seemed to remember something, too.

"Garcia!" Desserto's eyes burned, and he stepped forward and said in a trembling voice, "It was the first time we met, and it was the happiest day of my life. From that day on, all I had in my heart was you! Do you understand my mind?"

Garcia frowned slightly, and said in an indifferent tone: "A year ago, when my father rejected the marriage proposal you sent, you should understand my intentions, right?"

As if struck hard by this remark, Desertto took a step back and shook his head repeatedly, "No! This must be a will imposed on you by your father. Garcia, the grievances of the older generation cannot be paid for by our generation. ”

"That's what I want. Garcia stared at each other's eyes categorically, "I can tell you again, in my heart, there has never been a love between men and women, and all I think about day and night is how to go further on the way to martial arts." ”

"No, no, no, have you forgotten? We had a great conversation that day! You won't be without me. There was a mad obsession in Desserto's eyes.

"I was very happy that day, but I was happy that I met my opponent in chess, which made me understand martial arts even more. Garcia said.

"Well, now we can learn the same, and we can be as happy as we were three years ago. There was a pleading look in Desserto's eyes.

"No way. Diseto resolutely said, "Now you are far from being my opponent. There is no point in this kind of exchange. ”

"No, I'm the only one who deserves to be with you. Desserto's expression became frantic, and Huo Ran pulled out the war hammer on his back.

"Alright then!" Garcia slowly drew her long sword and turned her expression fierce, "I'll let you know the gap between us now." ”

The battle lasted only three rounds.

Empty-handed, Desserto stood in a state of despair, his eyes full of shock and despair.

"Three years ago, we fought fiercely for half a day, and now, you can't take my three moves. You, die!" Garcia walked away without looking back.

As she walked, Garcia's expression became more and more resolute.

I'm sorry, in my heart, there is only that one goal, in order to achieve it, I can do nothing, I can give up everything, no matter what, in front of it, is insignificant.

When Garcia's figure was long gone, Desserto remained on the hillside, the fading figure seemed to have drained the last of his strength, unable to even move his feet.

He looked distractedly at the Falling Star Lake with the shadow of the moon, and he didn't blink for a long time, as if he was immersed in memories.

At this moment, he saw a little light in the distance galloping along the shore of Falling Star Lake.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves approached with a swift and unrhythmic sound, and a samurai galloping on a horse.

"Young Master! It's Master Desserto!" the visitor shouted in surprise, but he couldn't hide the panic and anxiety in his heart!

"Whew!" the galloping horse, which had been slammed by the reins, stopped galloping a few paces from Desato, but fell to the ground with a wail as its hooves went limp.

"Master, something is wrong!" the warrior who had fallen to the ground with his horse struggled to his feet, struggling to cry out to Dessetto.

"It's Sadber, why are you here, what's wrong?" Desertor came to his senses and lifted the disheveled and embarrassed samurai from the ground.

"It's the Principality of the Clouds, which has betrayed the alliance with the kingdom and sent a large army to attack us, defeating Eagle Castle and Giant Wood Castle successively, and has already surrounded our Moon Cliff City!" the samurai cried out hoarsely.

"What! it can't be!!" Diseto's eyes widened and he shook the samurai's shoulders vigorously.

"Young Master, hurry up and inform the city lord, Moon Cliff City is in danger! There are not enough troops in the city!

The terrible sound of the horn shattered the moon shadow all over the lake, and the wind and clouds changed abruptly.

Soon, the camp of Jiulian City was in chaos.

At first, no one dared to believe what they heard, but soon, the rout soldiers who escaped from the lower four cities arrived at Luoxing Lake in a terrible way, and they brought more and more shocking news.

In the second half of the night, the eagle envoy sent by Songquan City also rushed to the shore of Luoxing Lake, bringing the most appalling information.

Not only did the Principality of Yunzhong betray its alliance with the Tuyue Kingdom, but even the Principality of Chikawa, which had been married to the Tuyue Kingdom for generations, actually rebelled.

There are three kingdoms in Zhangzhou, where the Tuyue Kingdom is located, the Tuanyue Kingdom accounts for two-thirds of the area, one country is dominant, and the other two countries, the Principality of Yunzhong and the Principality of Chichuan, have always implemented a policy of big things, respecting the Tuoyue as the head, or marrying from generation to generation, or paying tribute and being a vassal.

The Tuyue Kingdom monopolized the western and central parts of Zhangzhou, while the northeastern part of Zhangzhou was the Principality of Akakawa and the southeastern part of the Duchy of Yunzhong.

The Principality of Akakawa and the Kingdom of Tuyue are bounded by the Akakawa River, which carries a lot of red sediment, while the western border between the Duchy of Yunzhong and the Kingdom of Tugatake is a series of dangerous peaks and ravines, which are difficult for people and horses to travel, and the few passages are completely choked by several dangerous passes and fortresses.

It is said that five days ago, the Principality of Akakawa and the Principality of Yunzhong attacked on the same day, and the dead soldiers of the Principality of Akakawa raided overnight and occupied the largest ferry on the Akagawa River, Yintingdu, and crossed three elite legions in one night.

As for the Duchy of Clouds, they knew that they could not capture the fortresses that had been carefully constructed by the Tuyue Kingdom to guard the border between the two countries, so they found another way, and the army went south, circled the savanna, and began to sweep from east to west.

The strategic intention of the Yunzhong Army is obvious, that is, to clear the savanna first, and then take advantage of the gap when the Great Wall defense line has been sent a large number of fresh troops to the north to reinforce it, find the weak underbelly of the insufficient defensive forces to break through the Great Wall defense line, directly threaten the south of the Tuyue Kingdom, and form a north-south flank with the Dawn Army.

If this strategic intent is achieved, the Tuyue Kingdom will be in danger!

When they realized this, all the nine city lords felt a cold sweat break out all over their bodies.

Opinion soon diverged sharply.

"We must immediately go east with all our might, reinforce Moon Cliff City, and join forces with the outside to repel the Yunzhong army. Moon Cliff City Lord Rosh shouted.

"My Eagle City! I must take back my Eagle City!" Beckett almost beat his chest.

"My, my two sons, and one daughter are all staying in Giant Wood City! I want to go back immediately! right now!" the fat Lord of Giant Wood City, Baron Gross, was already six gods and incoherent.

"What else is there to hesitate about! Immediately march eastward and fight to the death with the enemy who invades the border! Your Majesty has given us titles and fiefdoms, doesn't it just hope that we can defend the border for the country? At this time, you don't want to kill the enemy to serve the country, and you are still hesitating here, what do you want to do!" Viscount Salz, the brave lord of Broken Water City, took out his battle axe and smashed it on the ground with a fierce axe.

Broken Water City is the westernmost castle of the Lower Four Cities, the closest to Falling Star Lake, if the Yunzhong Army breaks through Moon Cliff City, the next target must be it.

Unlike the Lower Four Cities, which fiercely demanded that the whole army march eastward immediately, the attitude of the Upper Four Cities was very ambiguous.

"According to intelligence, there are more than 50,000 Yunzhong troops dispatched this time, divided into two groups, of which 30,000 are attacking Yanhui Pass, which is the defense line of the Great Wall, and the one responsible for eliminating our Jiulian City one by one has 20,000 people. We have less than 4,000 people, and if we recklessly bump into it, won't we bring about our own destruction?" said the Lord of Bull in Riptide City, frowning.

"Yes! The more times like this, the more we can't be in a hurry, we should ask for help from the passes of the Great Wall on the one hand, and send scouts in batches to Moon Cliff City on the other, and then slowly march eastward, we must not rush in!" said Viscount Bernell, the city lord of Taoyuan Cave City, with a solemn face, stroked his gray beard meaningfully.

"Yes, I'm not in favor of going all out right now. The enemy's forces are so strong that they will suffer losses if they fight hard, so we should exchange space for time and constantly harass them along the road, so that they will be tired and unable to continue to advance westward comfortably, and this is the best policy. "The tall, thin man who spoke was Brock, the lord of Twin Islands.

"That's right, the Yunzhong Army is coming from afar, they are guest troops, and they want to fight quickly the most, and we have a tired enemy tactic. "The voice is loud, and the beard on his face is Wayne, the westernmost city lord of Jiulian City.

"Fart! What is the exchange of space for time, what is the tactic of exhausting the enemy! According to your way of playing, you are planning to use us as victims in the next four cities!" Beckett retorted almost screaming.

"The enemy army is coming from the east, and you will naturally lose more in the lower four cities, if it is from the west, it will be unlucky in the upper four cities, and there is no way to do it. A few months ago, the barbarians raided Jiulian City, just looking for my Weishan City as a breakthrough, who to reason with? We are not for the gain or loss of one city and one pool, as long as our Jiulian City defense line is finally defended, what is lost will come back!" Gao Ge, who had been silent, spoke, "I agree with the method of the city lord of Bernell, while asking for help, while exploring, and then slowly march eastward. However, before heading east, I wish we could wait here for a day. This is the closest to my Weishan City, and I will send people back overnight, and it will only take one day for the reinforcements from Weishan City to arrive. ”

"What if your reinforcements from Weishan City arrive!" exclaimed Desserto, who was standing behind Rosh, "you farmers who have just washed the mud off their feet, even if they do, what use will they be!"

"Shut up!" Zhuo Lanama, who was behind Gao Ge, pressed the saber on his waist and shouted angrily: "What is your identity, dare to speak like this to the city lord!"

"You ......" Diseto stared at Gao Ge and Zhuo Lanama viciously, as if he wanted to swallow each other in one gulp, making Gao Ge confused.

There's no need to hate being defeated by me in the arena!

......

At dawn, after a night of arguing, the Nine Cities were still divided, and the armies of the Lower Four Cities were assembled early in the morning and hurriedly marched to the east.

"I'll report your cowardice to the military headquarters. As he was leaving, Rosh grimaced and dropped such a sentence.

At the same time, countless messengers galloped in different directions.

The four cities originally planned to go back and wait for the enemy, but they were stopped by Gao Ge.

"You can send someone back and tell your castle to prepare for battle. But yourselves, and the army now on the shores of Falling Star Lake, must follow our Weishan army to meet the invading enemy. Gao Ge said this at the time, categorically.

"Father, we can't hold it by sticking to it, at least, we should go and see the situation of the enemy army first. Garcia's words made Boss finally make up his mind to stay.

With Riptide City taking the lead, the other three of the upper four cities naturally stayed.

However, the four city lords actually didn't think much of what Gao Ge said about waiting for the reinforcements from Weishan City to arrive before marching east together, what kind of combat effectiveness would a peasant army put together makeshift have.

However, if we can delay here for another day, everyone is optimistic about the success and preservation of strength, which is the issue that everyone is most concerned about now.

PS: The second battle of the top ten battles of the founding of the Weishan Dynasty is about to be staged fiercely, old irons, give it a boost!
