In late spring and early summer, the weather is already getting a little hotter, and it doesn't take long for the dew that condenses at night to evaporate in the sun. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info abundant rain and dew, abundant sunshine, so that the grass can not hold back from the gap between the slabs of the business road to emerge tender green buds, stretch their bodies to their heart's content, desperately compete for their territory, and try their best to absorb every ray of rain and dew and every ray of sunshine.

However, the vibrant greenery of the trade road soon disappeared into a wave of heavy and neat steps, and a pair of big feet mercilessly trampled on the green grass and turned them into a puddle of marks printed on the stone slabs.

The marching column of the Grizzly Legion meandered from north to south like a long gray dragon. The neat queue was the scales of the dragon, the sword and shield men were on the outermost side, the spearmen were second, and the archers were guarded, and every ten soldiers formed a team, each team was staggered with each other, and even if an enemy suddenly appeared, these squads could support each other in time.

Leo looked at the Grizzly Legion's clear division of labor and neat and orderly marching array, and had to sigh, although the commander of the McShouner Legion was a stereotyped person, he was also a long-time veteran after all, and his superiority was revealed at a glance.

However, Leo, who was constantly admiring the Grizzly Legion, did not expect that Captain McHuner was now also drooling as he watched his Wei military pawn. Although the Grizzly Legion is one of the four major legions of the empire, it is only at the bottom of the four major legions, and many resources are not as good as the other three legions.

If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers of the Grizzly Legion were all from the most courageous and fearless Gray Rock Collar of the people, and the soldiers all had the strength to fight desperately, I am afraid that it would not be the turn of the Grizzly Legion to enter the ranks of the four major legions. With the dream of building his legion into a truly powerful legion, Commander McShouner looked at the equipment of the Wei soldiers and wanted to immediately pick them up and distribute them to his soldiers.

According to rumors, this Count Leo is in control of the entire imperial capital's ceramics business, and the gold coins he grabs every month are astronomical, this is a figure with gold bricks in his arms! Captain McHuner subconsciously rubbed his beard under his chin a few times, and it seemed that he should be closer to this Earl Leo.

"Your Excellency, where are we now?" was Legion Commander McShouner's pondering when Leo's voice suddenly came.

"Ahh Commander McShouner immediately came to his senses and hurriedly answered.

"Pearl Valley!" Leo immediately raised his vigilance as soon as he heard that there was a valley in front of him, after all, William had already successfully ambushed him once, and Leo didn't want his first army to be destroyed in the hands of that Archduke William.

"Your Excellency Commander, when you arrive at the mouth of the valley in the Pearl Valley, order the legion to stop and rest for a while, and send some people to enter the valley in advance to search for it, in case of an ambush by the enemy. Leo consulted with Captain McShouner.

Listening to Leo's words, Captain McHuner glanced at Leo with satisfaction, but he didn't expect this Earl Leo to be quite cautious, in fact, even if Leo didn't say it, Captain McHuner would arrange it like this, after all, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, Captain McHuner's Legion suffered a loss, so he would definitely be more careful.

Of course, it is a suggestion, Leo does not all count on the scouts of the Grizzly Legion, several ninjas have already been sent out by him to reconnoiter the situation in advance.

As soon as the vanguard of the Grizzly Legion arrived in the Valley of the Pearls, the entire marching army was lined up, and according to the orders of Count Leo and the Legion Commander, the soldiers stopped to rest and make fires to cook.

The ninjas also sent the news back from the Pearl Valley, and found traces of the southern rebel soldiers in the Pearl Valley, which seems to be small in number, and they are not sure what they mean for the time being.

Leo sat on a large rock, holding a piece of dry rations for the march, beating his legs and nibbling on them with his soldiers, without the slightest hint of being a count. Next to him, Commander McHuner was also gnawing on dry rations, and as a Legion Commander, he had always shared the weal and woe with his soldiers.

Leo's move was not a deliberate show, but it did have an excellent effect. The soldiers of the Grizzly Legion originally had a slight complaint about this so-called earl, but now seeing that he and the soldiers were eating dry food and drinking cold water, they did not have the arrogance and squeamishness of those imperial nobles at all, and the resentment accumulated by the nobles' private soldiers last time disappeared, and they instead admired and felt more cordial to Leo, a different earl.

While nibbling on the rough and dry food, Leo sorted out information about William in his mind. According to the ninjas' reconnaissance report, William's troops should be very weak at this time, and it may not be enough to defend the city, how can he appear in the Pearl Valley in front? For Archduke William's military ability, Leo has never dared to underestimate it, after all, William can defeat the Grizzly Legion, William has enough qualifications to prove himself.

Since there were traces of southern rebels in the Pearl Valley, it was not surprising that there must have been a trap arranged by Archduke William, but a passion for battle welled up in his heart. Only by fighting and killing can we get more gods pleasure points, after the battle of the imperial capital, the gods pleasure value in Leo's hands barely climbed a thousand points, only enough to support a summon, which made Leo feel a little confident in his heart, even if William had an ambush, Leo also believed that he could defeat him.

After stuffing the rest of the dry food into his mouth in three or two mouthfuls and swallowing it with water, Leo turned to Commander McHuner and said, "It is estimated that there will be our old friends waiting in the Pearl Valley ahead, let's rest for a while and then set off, with my personal guards as the lead, I will meet those southern rebels!"

Leo's initiative to ask for war surprised Captain McShouner, generally speaking, the nobles only participated in this kind of military operations as commanders or supervisors, and rarely participated in the battle in person, let alone like Leo, as the commander of the counterinsurgency army, actually asked to be the leading force.

"No, Lord Count, it's very dangerous to do this, and I can't let you take it!" Captain McHuner refused Leo's request without thinking. (To be continued.) )
