After the secret meeting, all the nobles secretly organized and mobilized their own family's private soldiers through different channels, preparing to deal a fatal blow to those southern rebels, while Hyakchi Yukishige stayed in Rien City with a few ninjas to continue to explore the strength distribution of the rebels.

Archduke William, who was ambushed outside the Pearl Valley, did not expect that the ambush he had set up had not yet been launched, and the rear had already been instigated by Leo.

Involving the interests of themselves and their families, the actions of the nobles of Lien City were also very fast, and the organization and mobilization of private soldiers were under the full supervision of the nobles, and they soon made up the scale of hundreds of private soldiers and mercenary group mercenaries, compared to those rear parties in the north, the efficiency was simply terrifying.

And the Baidi Xingzhong, who went to investigate the city defense of Lyne City, also made a surprising discovery, at this moment, there were only Archduke William's adjutant and a few southern rebel guards in Lyne City, and the others were the garrison led by the former Lyne City City Defense Officer who surrendered to the southern rebels, and Archduke William and the southern rebels under his command were nowhere to be found.

"It's wonderful! With the blessing of the Goddess of Harvest, my city of Rion will definitely return to the Empire!" Viscount Murphy, who was overjoyed to learn that Archduke William and his southern rebels were not in the city, thanked the Goddess of Harvest for her protection.

"Those rebels are unlucky, that city guard is greedy for life and afraid of death, the soldiers of the garrison have long been dissatisfied with the rebels, as long as His Excellency Viscount Murphy ascends to the heights, the garrison will definitely be on our side, we will regain control of the city of Rien, even if those rebels return, we will be helpless. Baron Leon said happily that as a military nobleman, he had a high prestige among the city defense reserves, and the soldiers who countered the city defense reserves were extremely confident.

"Then without further ado, let's take the city of Rion as soon as possible, so that those rebels don't return, and then we won't be able to do it!" Viscount Murphy made a quick decision, asking the nobles to lead their own private soldiers to retake the gates of Rion City, and he and Baron Leon went to the garrison camp to rebel and recruit the soldiers of the garrison.

When the situation in the city of Lien was changing, Leo and his Wei soldiers also passed through the Pearl Valley smoothly, although the middle was frequently disturbed, but under the protection of the soldiers, there was no danger to come, along the way all the southern soldiers who were found were shot by the soldiers one by one, I believe that when the rear grizzly bear army passed, there should be no obstacles.

At noon, the sun was blazing all over the land, and even in the midst of the dense forest, with dense foliage blocking the raging sun, the dreary heat and humidity peculiar to the south, and the abundant moisture near the river, made the rebel soldiers feel even more tormented.

Patience passed with time, from not moving to constantly wiping sweat, even Archduke William felt a trace of restlessness among his corporals, could there be no surprise? William kept asking this question in his heart, but quickly denied it himself.

Fortunately, Leo didn't make him wait too long, and when the neat array of warriors appeared at the exit of Pearl Valley, William could almost hear the relief of all the rebel soldiers around him almost at the same time.

But as the Wei military formation slowly approached, William's brows became tighter and tighter. These soldiers are distinctly different from the Grizzlies' standard equipment. They are much, much better than the normal Imperial Legion standard equipment, but they are somewhat like ...... Like the soldiers in Baron Leo's castle, yes!

William's heart was a little strange, how could that Baron Leo's soldiers appear here? Shouldn't it be the Grizzly Legion as the vanguard? A trace of doubt made Archduke William feel that things seemed to be a little out of his expectations, and an ominous premonition hit his heart.

Suddenly walking out of the gloom of the valley, the blazing and strong sunlight outside the valley made Leo a little uncomfortable, squinting his eyes and looking at the surroundings, the river in the distance made Leo's heart happy, but then it was tight.

Although the water of that river does not seem to be turbulent, the wider surface of the river is still a bit threatening, after all, the soldiers under his command are all wearing heavy armor, and once they enter the water, they will be helpless. And although there was a stone bridge over the river, Leo dared to conclude that Archduke William's idea must have been to attack halfway.

After all, pushing the other party's soldiers into the river is the most labor-saving way, and I believe that Archduke William will not miss it. Then, according to this calculation, Leo's eyes stopped in the dense forest on the other side of the river.

If you want to attack halfway, that dense forest is the best place to hide, but unfortunately it is the time of spring and summer, and the vegetation is lush, if you change to autumn and winter, all you need is a fire to make Archduke Wilhelm unable to eat and walk.

Since Leo saw through Archduke William's scheme, of course he was not in a hurry, while sending someone to inform the commander of the McShouner Legion to let the Grizzly Legion pass through the Pearl Valley with confidence, Leo ordered the soldiers to rest by the river for a while, not to cross the river in a hurry, let Archduke William feed the mosquitoes in the dense forest for a while.

Watching those heavily armored soldiers resting by the river, the rebels in the dense forest hated the roots of their teeth. Lying on his stomach in the hot and humid dense forest all morning, I don't know how many bags I was bitten by mosquitoes, I finally saw the army of the empire passing through the Pearl Valley, but I rested leisurely by the river. Many of the rebel soldiers were breathing heavily, and they were a little impulsive at Leo's decision.

After a while, the ranks of the Grizzly Bear Legion came out of the Pearl Valley one after another, and Leo ordered the Wei soldiers to reline and quickly continue their march south through the stone bridge.

Watching Leo cross the stone bridge with hundreds of heavily armored soldiers, Archduke William hesitated. This is seriously inconsistent with his expectations, now that Leo has led the team through the stone bridge, if he launches an attack at this moment, even if he can destroy these heavily armored soldiers, it will not be painful for the Grizzly Legion, and it will not be able to achieve the goal of stopping the Grizzly Legion at all. But if Leo and his party are allowed to pass like this, Archduke William's heart is really unwilling, and if Leo ignores himself and goes straight to Rien City, then the inner empty Rien City may fall into his hands, and it will be impossible to steal chickens and rice at that time.

However, it turned out that Archduke William was thinking too much, and now the initiative was not in his hands at all. When Li Ao led the Wei army formation through the dense forest ambushed by the rebels, he suddenly gave an order: "All the soldiers hold crossbows, target the dense forest on the left and right, and shoot three times in a row!"

Before the rebel soldiers could react, a burst of crossbow machines rang out, and a dense stream of crossbow bolts shrouded the dense forest on both sides. (To be continued.) )
