On the first night after Salamdo's speech, soldiers from all over Balowa quickly gathered.

After all, this time is different from the last time, Balova no longer has enough soldiers to deploy, after a year of respite, the veterans have added a lot of new recruits, and it is enough to make up the number of people now.

It's hard to win, even against Reliaga, who also suffered a lot of damage in the last war.

However, in terms of marching and fighting, since ancient times, the attacking side, most of the time, must have several times the number of soldiers on the defending side, otherwise, it is easy to collapse in front of the attacking opponent.

Now, Balova no longer has this capital, and it is difficult to say whether the existing army can be five or five on the other side, let alone rely on the advantage of numbers to crush it.

Therefore, after a series of discussions, the king and guardian beast of Balova finally chose the method of surprise attack.

In the same way, a small number of people is not all a bad thing, at least, an army that is not too large can still hide its whereabouts while marching. Moreover, as a country with extremely serious internal hidden dangers, Reliaga is also full of loopholes in all aspects, and it looks very solid, but if there is an external force, it will only collapse sooner or later.

Although......

The surprise attack is a very disgraceful way to start a war, but for the vengeful Heiya, this is already the only way.

Tonight, the riverside outside Ryujin City is as bright as day.

Tens of thousands of soldiers gathered here, armed with torches, standing in a very neat formation.

The flames were shining brightly, and the faces of the soldiers were illuminated.

Each one, with a resolute expression, looks like they are all looking at death as if they were at home.

"Click......

The sound of footsteps came from the side, and at the same moment, the tens of thousands of soldiers all looked in that direction.

Heiya, the guardian beast, put on her own military uniform for the first time in a long time.

Unlike the ordinary soldiers below, Hei Ya's body is more inclined to the decoration of knights. The pitch-black armor is entangled, protecting the delicate flesh in it, the cloak has long hair, and the golden lines carve a dragon head at its heart, and the whole body is revealing a handsomeness.

"Click-"

The leather boots landed, Heiya, and finally came to the front of the team.

The wind, blowing, brought up the black hair behind Heiya.

Tonight's wind was unexpectedly strong, to the point where it could hinder others, and the cloak draped behind Hei Ya was also hunting under this strong wind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a great job. ”

The corners of Heiya's mouth pulled out a slight smile.

Yes, she didn't hate the feeling of standing at the front of the team and leading thousands of troops, and the shouts and reverent gazes below always made her feel a sense of pride.

"General Heiya!"

"General, long time no see!"

"Finally...... We can stand on the same battlefield again!"

The people who are talking below are basically veterans of a bit of age. Balova, for a long time before Rahil completely took over the military, was led by Heiya, and the soldiers still preferred this female general who had disappeared for a long time to the young general who had just been in power for a long time.

"Think about it...... Since I went back...... It's been a long time......"

The gaze swept over the soldiers below, and there was a little nostalgia on Hei Ya's face.

"Among you...... Many of my brothers who were with me back then...... You're getting old, too......"

Every time she arrives at this kind of scene, Hei Ya feels a little sentimental in her heart.

Heiya is one of the seventy-two divine beasts, and theoretically, there is no real death. Naturally, the appearance does not age with the passage of time.

Even now that she has retired from the battlefield and given birth to a child, she still maintains the appearance of a teenage girl, and there is no difference from when she galloped on the battlefield.

But......

The soldiers who followed her in those years had more or less gray hair on their heads.

"I'm sorry, everyone, but now that you're all family and old, I'm still going to let you come over to fight this war. ”

Looking at the many soldiers below with half-white hair, Hei Ya felt a lot.

The theory of time, for the immortal, is always cruel, every generation of monarchs passes, Heiya looks back, she will see loneliness and loneliness, on this road, I don't know when it began, she is the only one who is moving forward.

"General, we will always follow you!"

"As long as you need us, even if you are old and can only lie in bed, we will definitely come as soon as possible!"

"Yes!

Below, again, the voices of various soldiers.

This time, it wasn't just the older veterans, but even some of the younger soldiers who shouted.

On the battlefield, it is often not the number of soldiers that determines the outcome of the battle, but the momentum and fighting spirit of the participants, that is, the so-called morale.

When a person is desperate, it is the most terrible existence. Strong or weak, that can only represent your theoretical strength, really fighting, in order to protect yourself, the limit of your own strength may be very large.

For soldiers, the psychology of daring to fight is the most important existence, and how to achieve this is the task of the leader.

"Thank you. ”

Heiya, the girl who was actually higher than the king, bent down and bowed to the dense crowd of soldiers.

"Then, everyone, get ready, and we'll leave later. ”

"Yes!"

He was answered in a very neat voice.

After explaining to the soldiers, the rest is to deal with personal matters. Unlike in the past, when she led troops to fight, the Black Flame Fire Dragon was no longer alone, she lost her husband, but at least, she was still the mother of a child.

"Mom...... Don't go...... Is that okay?"

The little girl hid behind Salamdo and said timidly.

Children's feelings are often very sensitive, and Heilian, who is still young, doesn't know what her mother is going to do, but her instinct is to sense a very bad breath, and in her heart, she always feels a little uneasy.

"It's okay, Mom will definitely be back before the New Year. ”

Hei Ya squatted down, hugged Hei Lian's small body into her arms, and gently stroked the little furry head.

"Until then, you can be with Salamdo, but don't be too relaxed with him, if he wants to do anything to you, you can just use what I taught you before, break his legs. ”

"Hey, hey, don't teach Black Lotus indiscriminately!!"

Hearing Heiya say this, Salamdo couldn't sit still.

"Mom's ......"

The little girl raised her head, and with some tears in the corners of her eyes, she opened her mouth and said something that made Heiya very sad.

"Brother...... He's a good guy...... It's not as bad as you say, Mom......"

"It's over, the elbow is turned out, and it looks like in a few years, the daughter will be snatched away. ”

As a mother, Heiya said that she was very sad, and for a while, she felt that her daughter was getting farther and farther away.

"Hmph. ”

Salamdo crossed his hands on his hips and looked very proud.

"It turns out that my charm is still very great, and Hei Ya may not be affected if she is married, but a little girl like Hei Lian will definitely be fascinated by me. ”

"Hmph, let me tell you, I have already applied magic on the black lotus in advance, you touch it randomly, your hands are like fire, kiss it, and poison it all over your body. ”

“...... Just kidding. ”

"You can try. ”

"No, I still want to live a long life with Claire. ”

"You are self-aware. ”

After saying that, Hei Ya left a kiss on Hei Lian's forehead, got up, and turned in the direction of the soldiers.

"Alright, that's all I have to say, I'm leaving. ”

"Be careful all the way. ”

"Mom...... Be careful on ...... road"

The little king and Heilian said their final goodbyes, but the former had an evil smile on his face, and it seemed that he was very happy about Heiya's departure.

"Well, from tonight we will march as fast as we can, and strive to reach Reliaga in the shortest possible time. ”

"Where to go?"

"Of course...... It's the river that no one dared to walk on before......"

Hei Ya, the guardian beast, the black flame fire dragon, this girl who combines all kinds of reputations, has a confident smile on her face.
