They were flying at an altitude of 100 meters, Nikita's screams seemed to be blown away by the wind, and only the faint sound of air rubbing against the magic shield was gradually left in their ears, and only the earth below was slowly retreating at a visible speed, suggesting that they were moving at an alarming speed.

Rhodes couldn't help but start fugue again, but when he turned his head to look at his mother, looking at her gentle and concerned gaze, he was immediately relieved - his own mother was here, and she would never let this happen.

The little fox poked his head out of the bag curiously, looked down, and immediately retracted into the bag in fright. Yin'er is really afraid of everything...... I really don't know how she mustered up the courage to run to the fighting arena prison to save herself, thinking about this, Rod's heart softened, he reached into his bag and rubbed her dotingly, relaxed his mind, and began to appreciate the unobstructed magnificence and beauty that can only be experienced from the sky overlooking the earth.

......

However, this enjoyment was quickly affected, as they passed through the southern part of Antelli, which had been subjected to a scorched earth policy a dozen days earlier. On the brown and green earth, the path of the army is clear and wild, and the villages burned by fire seem to be black spots burned by someone with cigarette butts on this huge picture...... It's shocking to the eye.

The speed of the response of the Antelli high-level to the invasion of the empire is not unfast, and in the few days that Rhodes has been withdrawing with the troops of the palace, he has calculated the date by talking to people, and he has found that almost a few hours after the warning of the invasion came from the front line, the scorched earth order was sent to the executive base of the army, and the decision-making level took time to make a judgment It was too late to even call the high-level Qi, and the decisive decision was so decisive that even the Midland vanguard army was a little unexpected.

After a little analysis, Rod realized that this huge plan for the retreat of the entire army was probably not a temporary idea, but had already become one of the important plans in the minds of those in power to deal with the attack.

As long as the Antelli side, which resorted to such a brutal method, can hold on to the intervention of the surrounding countries, especially the Eriken Empire in the East, it is not clear who will die in this war...... However, due to his own reasons, the Antelli army, which was preparing to fight the invaders, was defeated before he could figure out the situation, and the kingdom that had existed for hundreds of years was reduced to the point of existence in name only. The destruction of countless villages and the displacement of countless refugees have all been reduced to meaningless sacrifices under the intervention of the mother in the name of "guardian".

In the face of the invasion, Antelli's army burned down a fraction of his country's territory and surrendered, which would have become a household joke if it had been written into the history books. How many people will laugh at the stupidity and cowardice of Antelli's decision-makers after tea and dinner in the future, but they can't imagine how many innocent people have lost their homes or even lost their lives behind this story?

But think about it another way, if there is no such thing as yourself, how will the war situation evolve?

......

More than 100,000 Antelli troops will launch a full-line counterattack in the area of Cavehall Forest-Sactenburg, and engage in one or more large-scale battles against the Imperial advance legions, which are disconnected from logistics for the sake of the raid. If you win, you will push the front south, and if you lose, you will rely on Sardenberg to continue to hold on and wait for foreign aid, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than now.

The Midland follow-up forces then continued into Anteli...... Direct military support and supplies from the surrounding countries and even Erikon will gradually arrive, and the contest between the two empires will not be filled by a few hundred or thousands of lives in a moment, and the scale of the war will continue to escalate, extending to the whole of Antaili, more northern countries, and even the empire itself.

Rhodes understood that when the war was fought to a certain extent, casualties became a cold number. Who cares that among the fallen soldiers, there is Sir Monterey, who is full of courage and a good voice, there is Hawke Blackstone, who is loyal to a human kingdom despite being a dwarf, and many more brave soldiers who are afraid of death but do not hesitate to take up arms, and are willing to draw swords against their own people for the son of an enemy nobleman?

Perhaps, Mother's approach is a kinder and better choice? But there are not only two countries in the world, and they have annexed half of Antaili in one bite, how can the expansion ambition of the empire continue to grow be satisfied?

Mother said that she would not intervene in the war again, and no one could make her change her mind, but what about herself, can she do something to end this war as soon as possible?

......

Putting an end to a war obviously wasn't done by brute force and self-healing, and I'm afraid he'll need to turn his brain around and use the resources at his disposal. He felt fortunate again that he was the biological child of his parents, that he could enjoy their pampering and pampering with peace of mind, that he could rely on their status and connections.

They flew so fast, and their destination was much closer than Rhodes had expected, that before the boy could come up with a practical plan, his mother took him and Nikita and began to slow down and fall to the ground.

They had just passed through the area where the scorched earth strategy was raging, and it was roughly inferred that they should not have left the border of Antaili yet, so why did they stop here?

Rod didn't ask, and he quickly learned why.

From above, they climbed over the wall and into a small courtyard guarded by Imperial red-clad soldiers, landing smoothly and without even making much noise.

"Roy, Rod is back. Raven led her son to a room.

"Ro-Der!" The door was pushed open in surprise, and a familiar slender figure rushed out of it, heading straight for Rhodes as Raven had done before, almost crushing him in her arms.

"Where's your hair, was it cut by those damn Antelles, is there any injury? Let me see!"

Roy pinched his brother's arm and touched his face, chattering and asking, completely abandoning the usual arrogant and cold mask, and his face was full of concern and nervousness. She felt that something was wrong on the day she was separated from her brother, and when she found that there was no one next to her at dinner, she suddenly realized that she and Rhodes had been inseparable since the day she began to conceive in her mother's womb, and in the seventeen years before she was born, she had not been separated from each other for more than a day!

After a few days of discomfort without the slightest improvement, Roy reluctantly admits that she simply can't bear to be separated from her brother. While convincing his brother that he was just going on a trip, he was looking for all kinds of things to distract himself, but what he was waiting for was the news of Rod's disappearance.

Mother was looking for Rod in Antelli, but Roy couldn't stay at home and wait, so he hesitated again and again, and finally ran over as well: "You conscienceless fellow, I worry about you every day at home, but you don't even know how to write a letter to report your safety for months!"

"It's me who is not good, I'm so lazy......" Rod felt sorry, both Dieter and Grom had reminded him, but he was full of promises at the time, and he forgot about it in a blink of an eye, and he didn't realize it at all.

"Who is this?" Roy saw the little girl behind his brother, thin and small, it couldn't be the wife he picked for her gentleness and beauty.

"Big ...... Hello sister-in-law. Nikita craned her neck to greet the girl, and Roy's otherworldly appearance made her feel ashamed...... Indeed, only such a woman is worthy of a big brother.

"This is my sister. Rod reluctantly corrected her.

"Oh, hello big sister!"

"What a mess. Raven was amused, and said to a guard on the side: "Take this little girl down and arrange a place to live, Rodroy will come in, and I will explain now the reason why you are different from ordinary people." ”
