The leader of the spies rushed frantically on the road almost falling apart, annoyed and anxious, for the countless hours he had wasted, and for what it meant so much. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this day and age, how inconceivable it is to quietly assemble an army and wage war? Soldiers are not magical constructs, take off their armor and lay down their weapons, they are just strong and trained ordinary people, they also have to eat, drink, dress, sleep, they also have relatives, friends, lovers, children...... As the largest and most populous kingdom among the northern countries, since Kyle Ross dares to make a move, he must have the intention of not giving a chance to breathe with all his strength, and the spy intelligence network will never deliberately exaggerate the big data, since it is reported that 50,000 troops have crossed the border, then this data will only be more and not less.

War is never just a matter of front-line soldiers, in addition to soldiers, there are reserves, auxiliaries and logistics responsible for food and grass, these 50,000 troops can not destroy a large country with a population of nearly 10 million and many allies...... This requires the mobilization of at least hundreds of thousands of people, and the preparation work is related to millions of people, such a big project, involving all aspects of the entire empire, it is impossible not to show a little clues, not to mention trained spies, even ordinary people can smell the smell of war, the group of fools in charge of intelligence detection, is he all dead?

Far more than one person hadn't heard anything about it, but Nick had all the more reason to be upset - it was his primary duty to monitor the movements of the Empire's armies in the North, and he was confident that he would never have been able to detect a movement of this magnitude if he hadn't been redeployed. But he soon thought of something even more terrifying: it had only been a day since King Anteli was assassinated, and the Dominedran army had crossed the border - even if all these 50,000 troops had been assembled in a teleportation array at any cost, it would have been more than a little time, which meant that the Imperial army had been ready to move from the garrison long before the assassination of Illit III, and it was a premeditated war!

Doesn't this mean that everything he has done these days to provoke the war, and the sacrifices of his men, are meaningless? He should have realized this on the night of Elite's assassination, but the subconscious urge to keep a record of "mission accomplished" made him miss what he should have thought of, and he continued to waste a lot of time!

Wasting time and manpower on an unnecessary task could have been staggering—King Soth's original plan was to "provoke a war between the North and the South and join it against the empire for independence." But now that Kyle Ross guy is obviously ready for war, hasty war and premeditated are two completely different situations, wouldn't it be self-defeating for Narig to get involved in the latter case? The northern countries can still rely on the depth of their territory and the support of the Erikan Empire to fight, and the vassal countries that are sandwiched between the two sides and only have a small land are on the verge of mutiny, but I am afraid that the follow-up main army of the empire that was originally going north can wipe out Narig completely by the way as long as they change their course slightly!

He must rush back at once to stop this from happening, and to hell with that stupid mission, son of the damned Duke Foster!

The little fox girl hid in the tree hole in a transformed state for a long time, until the sunlight outside was no longer blazing and there was no sound, then she cautiously came out of her head, looked left and right nervously, and breathed a sigh of relief: there was no one.

After the relaxation, sorrow followed, and like Rod, she also lacked the psychological preparation and ability to survive alone outside, before only herself and the boy were left, although both of them were blinded and didn't know what to do next, but at least there was barely a support, but now, even the last straw in the psychology was taken away, what should I do?

It's unlucky to be caught running out of play, but fortunately, he was sold to a kind and gentle human being, and fortunately he was willing to send himself home, and the two lucks were superimposed, which was a blessing in misfortune. Although the young human was not without wants, the price to pay for himself was not so tragic and high, but ...... How did the days that should have gradually gotten better suddenly become the way they are now?

The little fox girl changed into a human form in fear, and took out the small bag that Rod had left behind...... In the past, he had curled up in it and followed the boy as he walked, and there was nothing inside, except for another magic pouch that could be opened with magic and could hold many things. She looked left and right, gently opened the bag, rummaged through it for a moment, found a hooded coat, and tried to put it on her body.

It's so big that it hangs down to the ground on my body, and it's hard to walk. Although it did cover the ears and tail that were obviously different from humans, it set off the body to be more petite and slender, and I was afraid that a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old would dare to bully her. Xiao Luo did leave a lot of money and magic crystals in his bag, but there were not even a few silver coins in it, and he ran to the human race with gold coins to ask for directions and spend in his own appearance, but he was afraid that he would be arrested and returned as a little slave girl in less than half a day.

She sniffed sadly, reluctantly put things back into the form of a fox again, so that she felt safe to reduce her size and hide behind the white fur, and picked up the magic pouch and left the woods, and the little fox girl decided to stay away from the main road first.

After running aimlessly for a while, the little fox girl came to a field, surrounded by tall and lush crops that completely hid her figure, which gave the girl some security, and she stopped to rest for a while.

After a moment's pause, she carefully revealed her original form after looking around again, and pulled out the map from the pouch and spread it out on the ground.

In the past two months, Rhodes has taught her to read and write almost every day in the gap before going to bed, although he often can't help but get her up and down to bed quickly, but she still tried everything to learn as many common words and words as possible, and at this moment it finally came in handy: after thinking about it upside down for half a minute, she finally didn't take the map upside down.

But that's all, literacy is literacy, looking at the map is not a simple job, she used her brain and worked hard to study for a long time, until the sun sank and she didn't figure out where she was at the moment...... She wasn't entirely to blame, Rhodes had left a world map in his bag, the useful one had already been taken to another world with Ciri's hasty departure, and it would be hell if she could find her way home from the world map.

Seeing that it was dark again but still clueless, the girl was so panicked that tears rolled in her eyes...... Sitting blankly among the tall crops, he began to think again. It's obviously impossible to find a home by yourself, or find a reliable human mercenary and hire someone to send you back with all Xiao Luo's money?

Assessing the chances of the plan's success, her ears moved, and the wind blew voices in the distance: "What did you find, Nakarya?"

Someone!

She jumped up and turned into a fox so quickly that she didn't even have time to pick up the pouch and ran away from the sound, and although the rows of crops around her were dense and tall like fences, she was able to flee quickly through the gaps between the stalks of the plants.

But the thing behind him was chasing faster, and apparently larger, big enough to completely ignore the obstructive crops, and use its body to squeeze through everything it came along the way.

The sound of "whoa, whoa, whoa" got closer and closer, and the big guy behind him parted the crops all the way and crushed them with the momentum of flattening everything, and the little fox girl's heart hung higher and higher, and finally, she ran out of the field and saw a big tree in the distance...... Just get there, hurry up the tree, and you'll be saved.

She gritted her teeth and accelerated again, the small meat pads on all four legs rubbed against the ground painfully, ten meters, five meters, two meters, one meter, she finally ran to the bottom of the tree, kicked her hind limbs, her claws popped out of the meat sheath at the tips of her limbs, firmly grasped the rough bark, climbed hard, and quickly rushed towards the tree.

(It should be safe) climbed to a height of three meters, the inertia of running and jumping had been exhausted, she turned her head to see what was chasing her while ventilating, but saw a huge black shadow jumping towards her from below, the bloody mouth that rushed towards her was the last scene she saw before being bitten.
