Chapter XXXIV
Raising his hand to lift the thick curtain of the camp, Commander McHuner walked out of the command tent with the salute of the guards, looking at the green trees surrounded by the mountains, listening to the crisp and gentle calls of the busy birds in the early morning, and asking about the fragrance of grass and trees on the tip of his nose.

Walking outside the camp tent, Captain McHuner inspected the layout of the camp fortifications, and reminded the battalion officer on duty to pay attention to the enemy's sneak attack, after all, the Grizzly Legion has gone deep into the mountains, and the terrain here is very complex and very convenient for surprise attacks, and how to defend against enemy sneak attacks has always been a big rock in McShuner's heart. However, when McHuner looked at the boys who were doing their usual routine training in the glade, his mood suddenly turned again, and he thought with pride that even if the enemy came to sneak attack, these well-trained and powerful grizzly cubs would definitely give them the most powerful response.
Unfortunately, mixed with the regular roar of the Grizzlies' training, there was a hint of very discordant noise, like haggling in the vegetable market and like the yelling of casino bets, which made McShuner's mood worse again.
"What's going on??," Commander McHuner raised his arm and pointed in the direction from which the voice came, and asked the battalion officer on duty in a stern voice.
As if feeling the anger of the Legion Commander McShouner, the sweat on the face of the battalion defense officer on duty came down directly, and he replied to the Legion Commander with a sad face: "Report to Your Excellency the Legion Commander, over there...... It's not where our Grizzlies are staying, so we have no jurisdiction over them and can't stop their noise!"
"Huh?" Listening to the words of the battalion officer, Commander McHuner seemed to remember something, looked at the noise in the distance, and then asked the battalion officer with a hesitant face, "Is there a garrison for the nobles' private soldiers?"
"Yes, and the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency army, Marquis Griffins, was also stationed in the private barracks last night, and we were able to suppress them by three points before, but now with the support of Marquis Griffins, those noble private soldiers are all nostrils facing the sky, and they don't take our grizzly army in their eyes at all!"
These aristocratic private soldiers, who have no military discipline and cannot be moved, even the commander of the McShouner Army is quite a headache, and it is estimated that any one of them will be torn apart by a group of noisy nobles for a long time. Captain McShouner, who was sluggish in the direction of the private barracks, had no choice but to instruct the battalion officer: "Ignore those guys, just guard our camp." Tell your boys, as long as they don't take the initiative to make trouble, don't pay attention to what they do! Also, send a few more groups of sentry posts to keep an eye on the surroundings, so that you don't get attacked by the enemy in this dense forest. After the baggage from the rear is brought up, we will immediately march to the south to pull out the camp!"
Just as Commander McShouner was inspecting the camp's defenses one by one, the magic communication crystal that commanded the tent in the barracks suddenly lit up. The civilian officer on duty immediately stepped forward to check, and when he was about to report to the corps commander, he found that the corps commander did not know where to go, so he had to quickly order someone to inform the military mage Frank.
When the civilian officer recorded the message according to the frequency of the magic teleportation crystal's flickering, the military mage Frank also received a notification from the soldier and rushed over. Ignoring the civilian officer's salute, Frank grabbed the magic teleportation notebook from the civilian officer's hand, and deduced the information that Raymond had sent from the green city according to the frequency record.
After reading the information, Frank's eyes changed for a moment, and a trace of hideous meaning slowly appeared on his face, he tore the page recording the magic communication from the record book and tore it off casually, and after glancing at the civilian officer out of the corner of his eye, he reprimanded coldly: "This is a false alarm of the magic communication crystal, it's all wrong information, don't make a fuss!
After saying that, Frank completely ignored the grim-faced civilian officer, reached out and dusted off his robe and walked away.
After Frank walked out of the tent, the civilian officer spat hatefully, picked up Frank's torn record paper from the ground, and was about to throw it in the trash, but suddenly stopped, and the ghost put away the shredded paper and clipped it to the back of the record book.
Civilian officers know in their hearts that military magic communication crystals have a fixed magic frequency, and only those who know the magic frequency can send and receive messages, and it is impossible to receive other people's messages by mistake. If something really happens because of this message, if it is investigated, I am afraid that as an officer on duty, it will be difficult to escape the blame, and maybe Frank will be left behind, so this shredded paper must be kept.
This move of the civilian officer at this moment seems to have a god to protect him, if it weren't for the fact that he subconsciously kept the shredded paper, I'm afraid he would really become a scapegoat in the future.
......
Henry's Farm now has no more of the previous idyllic scene of sunsets, wheat fields, paths, villages, and cooking smoke, and the marching tents are like dark clouds shrouded in the wheat fields, and a pair of big feet have stepped the wheat seedlings that have just pulled out the sprouts into the soil again.
All the houses in the farm were requisitioned, the cattle shed was converted into stables, the barns were stuffed with military supplies, and the residence of the old Henry and others had become the command post of the Grand Duke of Wagner at this time. The generals present included almost most of the powerful generals of the southern faction, and in front of the Grand Duke, these powerful generals were as honest as schoolchildren who listened carefully, and they had completely lost their former domineering style.
Kenny Elsie, the adjutant of Archduke Wagner, grew up in the Grand Duke's mansion since he was a child, and since he was a child, he regarded the brilliant and talented Grand Duke Wagner as his idol.
"William, as the son of the Grand Duke, you naturally have to lead by example, and you have learned almost all of my skills, and now is the time for you to put what you have learned into practice. I order, this ambush in the Luminman Mountains will be led by William Wagner, and all the participating legions must obey the orders!" A noble young man behind the Grand Duke of Wagner showed an excited look on his face, his chest was held high, and he watched the generals who were alive in the past receive orders one after another.
Seeing that the Grand Duke was constantly surrounded by officers who were ordered to come out according to the Grand Duke's arrangement, and that there were fewer and fewer officers left, Kenny began to worry a little about the Grand Duke Wagner's own safety. However, this kind of military meeting is attended by the commanders of the various legions, and his small adjutant is not qualified to speak at all, and he has no right to interrupt the Grand Duke's command arrangements, so Kenny can only secretly sweat for the Grand Duke.
The last general gave a military salute to the Grand Duke of Wagner and then received the order, Kenny couldn't hold back his worries, and stepped forward to tell the Grand Duke that if all the elite troops were arranged, then the command camp would inevitably cause a void in defense, and it would cause a big problem for the safety of Grand Duke Wagner at that time.
"Alas, don't look at the current emperor is deaf and incompetent, and the noble elders' house is pedantic, but after all, the Varu Empire is a great empire that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the country is rich and the people are strong. I fought the Empire with the strength of the three provinces, and although the number of troops was slightly higher than that of the counterinsurgency, I am afraid that it would be difficult to win if I did not fight with all my might. Besides, this battle is too big, if it can win, it can break the mask of false prosperity of the empire in one fell swoop, all ambitious princes and magnates from all walks of life will naturally see hope, as long as the empire is on fire everywhere, even if there are more elite legions of the empire, I am afraid that they will be tired of running for their lives, and have no time to take care of the south; I really can't help it!" "Grand Duke Wagner has been strategizing under pressure for several days, and the psychological strings are too tight, and Kenny's concern makes Grand Duke Wagner naturally confide in his worries. However, after all, Grand Duke Wagner is also a generation of heroes, and the true feelings of a moment disappeared from his face in an instant.
"Hmph, is there anyone in the whole south who dares to assassinate me?" Grand Duke Wagner said after recovering his gloom from his past: "We are in the barracks, even the elite regiments have been sent out, aren't there still you? Aren't there still my immediate guards? And we have already arrested the leader of the underground thieves in the south, who will have the courage to assassinate me!"
Grand Duke Wagner didn't mention that old Henry was fine, but when he mentioned it, Kenny's heart hung in the air again. The Grand Duke has been in a high position for a long time and does not know the civil forces, but Kenny knows one or two of them, the old Henry has been operating in the three southern provinces for decades, and it has long been deeply entrenched, that is, it is now wartime, otherwise the people who come to the door for the old Henry must be indispensable, although the old Henry has been imprisoned, but his son has not been found, if he is really escaped, I am afraid that the location of the Grand Duke's front-line military camp has been known, I am afraid that the stunned young man who does not open his eyes will really dare to break into the military camp to disturb the Grand Duke.
Kenny's worries are not unfounded, and perhaps there are people in this world who can sense the crisis when it comes. Just as all the elite legions of the Southern Army marched into the designated position to set up an ambush in accordance with the military instructions of the Grand Duke of Wagner, the huge barn in the center of Henry's Farm really changed as Kenny feared.
At the bottom of the spiraling wooden staircase in the barn, at the corner of the low staircase, a plank shook quietly a few times, and then was silently pulled inward, revealing a dark hole in the ground. Because of the cover of the staircase and the fact that the barn was full of military baggage, even if there were guards in the barn, it would not be possible to see all the corners of the barn.
A thin, emaciated figure crawled out of the hole in the ground, his movements gentle and silent, completely unnoticed by the barn guards. As the figure appeared, a few rays of light shining through the cracks in the wooden staircase sprinkled on his body, and he could vaguely recognize that it was Feng Xifan's figure.
The footsteps of the barn guards patrolling back and forth, and the regular breathing of the secret whistle fell into Feng Xifan's ears one by one, and when Feng Xifan confirmed that he had mastered the number and location of all the guards in the barn, he reached out and took out a few small stones from his arms, which were just stones that he picked up in the tunnel when he came, but in the hands of Feng Xifan, an inner master, the power was no less than any bow.
Feng Xifan grabbed the stone with both hands and flicked his ten fingers, only to hear a series of sound of broken flesh and the sound of the human body falling, and the barn fell into silence, all the guards and the secret sentry were killed by the pebble, and no one could give a warning, and they were killed immediately without even screaming.
After Feng Xifan confirmed that the barn was not in danger, he made a gesture to the hole in the ground, and Leo and the others rushed out.
