40 Gentle Devil
On October 13, 1359, the Barois army divided into two routes, one led by the great general Rachel himself, to break through from the front of Reyriaga; The other route, led by Rahil's lieutenant general, made a detour from the territory that had already been taken, and flanked the city of Moon.

The war-torn earth was devastated by human beings, leaving only dead wood and rocks. Wisps of black smoke drifted from the scorching dirt, making it look extremely desolate.
Two figures, standing on a large charred stone at the moment, two pairs of translucent eyes swept the already dilapidated battlefield.
"Sister Xi, when can we go home? I'm so tired from calling back and forth like this. The little red-haired girl was leaning against a long-haired woman, her eyes half-squinted, and her face tired, as if she might fall asleep at any moment.
"It is estimated that in less than a month, Guiyue City will be breached, and we will be able to go home then. Nozomi stroked the girl's head dotingly.
"Sister Xi, why did you come here to participate in this war. We don't need to come here at all, and it doesn't matter to us whether or not Balova can capture Leliaga. The girl seemed to be really tired, and her body began to slowly slump, and she was about to fall to the ground.
Nozomi noticed that the girl was sleepy, and held her up before she fell asleep completely, and then hugged her by the waist with one hand and the other around her neck.
The girl fell asleep the moment she was picked up, lying peacefully in the woman's arms, snoring, and Nozomi had no intention of waking her up, but just tidied up the hair on her head a little.
"Newspaper-" A soldier quickly ran up behind Nozomi and gave her a military salute. "The captain of the first unit is injured, please let Miss Red Bean ...... Woo!!"
The soldier's body flew out and hit a large rock directly.
"Poof-" blood erupted from the soldier's mouth.
There was a slight sound of bones shattering, and the soldier immediately covered his arm and screamed, sweating like rain on his head, his face was pale, and he couldn't help but roll on the ground in pain for a while.
"Didn't you see Azuki Dou sleeping?" Xi dark purple pupils stared at the soldiers on the ground, not with the slightest mercy inside, but with killing intent.
"Right...... I'm sorry...... I...... Next time...... Certain...... It must be ......" The soldier had a hard time speaking, but under Nozomi's coercion, he forced himself to speak.
And then......
"Poofโ"
The blood, splashing up, made a "silky" sound when it touched the charred dead grass, leaving a red pool of blood on the originally charred ground.
Hoping that the corpse was no longer noisy, he wiped his blood-red right hand on his body very casually, and then turned away, as if it had not happened at all.
The beautiful melody spreads through the air, and the ballad sung by Zixi is beautiful and beautiful, like the sound of heaven.
She sat on a big rock, holding the red bean in her left hand and gently patting her back with her right hand, as gentle as a mother accompanying her child.

"General, the gate of the city in front is wide open, and there is not a single defender in the city, I don't know what it means, please go up and take a look for yourself. โ
In the barracks, Rachel, who was observing a map of Reliaga, was interrupted by a scout.
This rare general is a very handsome young man. At the age of twenty-eight, he passed the Barois's highest military examinations at an early age, and at the age of twenty he was appreciated by the king and promoted to general. Because of his outstanding military achievements, he was often entrusted with important responsibilities, and finally became the first general of Balowa.
Of course, Rachel's so-called military exploits were not completely convincing to the public, and some senior generals were very dissatisfied with his pampering, and after joining forces in private, they began to play some vicious tricks, even if they were as shrewd as Rahil, they were not less offended.
However, the appearance of one person completely broke this situation, and convinced the veterans who were once dissatisfied with Rachel.
Heiya, a girl known as the Black Flame Dragon. As one of the seventy-two divine beasts created by the elemental god himself, there is no doubt that she has amazing power, and it is because of her protection that Balova has today's glory. And it was such a protector beast that fell in love with this young general.
Since Heiya became a protector beast, she has shown no interest in things like feelings. In the history of Balova, there have been kings, nobles and the like who admired her, of course, they all ended in failure, otherwise it would not be Rachel's turn. Now that Rahil has been appreciated by Heiya, those who originally had some opinions have also kept their mouths shut.
This great general, who has thousands of honors, is the leader of Barlowa this time.
"There are no soldiers in the city, are you sure?" Rachel was visibly a little unconvinced of the scout's report.
At this moment, Rachel's troops have reached the hinterland of Reyaga, and it can be said that it will not be long before they can reach the imperial capital of Reyaga, Guiyue City. Is it possible that at such an important moment, there should be an unguarded city?
"The order goes down, and no one is allowed to enter the city until I give the order to march, and whoever violates the order will be beheaded. Rachel finished and threw a token at the scout.
"Yes. The Scout took the token and gave a military salute, taking the token in his hand and retreating.
(It stands to reason that there would be no empty city at such a time, could this be a ploy by Reyaga? Is Zajira back?no...... Wrong...... Although Zajira is good at leading troops, he is steady, and he does not know how to be flexible, and this kind of gambling empty city plan cannot be his strategy. To put it this way...... Is Iron Mask personally leading the troops?But he doesn't look like someone who would take such a risk......)
"Hehe, it looks like I have to go and see it. Rachel smiled, then put on his armor.
After putting on his armor, Rahil examined it in front of a mirror and finally picked up a red jade pendant that was placed on the table.
(Heiya, this war is going to continue to trouble you, and I will definitely end this safely and go back to accompany you.) When this battle is over, it is estimated that there will be a long vacation, and I will take you and Heilian to have a good rest at that time)
Rahil slung the jade pendant around his waist and walked out of the tent.
