On the way back, Changle left the river and flew along the northern land, intending to meet Marshal Fontaine first.

The marshal is both a legendary general and his mentor, and he has been fighting alone for so long, and he would like to hear the marshal's guidance.

This was difficult to do in the past, because it was thousands of miles away, and there were hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in between, but now Chang Le drove the necromantic bird to ride the wind, and all obstacles were no longer a problem.

Unexpectedly, after several efforts until dawn, he still did not succeed.

The marshal's march was too hidden, and the camp did not show the slightest light, even if there was a Blue Moon "undercover" by the marshal's side and kept a soul message with Chang Le, there was still no trace of the marshal's more than 10,000 horses.

After more than ten hours of flying, even though it was a third-order demonic beast, it was already foaming at the mouth of the night.

Chang Le had to find a bush, put the car into the beast soul space, and ordered it to rest well, and he would lie down in his kimono, eat something and take a nap.

After the sun rose, he took off again and continued to search for the trail of the marshal.

Blue Moon said that the troops were heading west, but the route avoided dense crowds, avoided enemy scouts, and walked completely in the wilderness, and she did not know the exact direction.

Chang Le lacks flying experience, and now when he looks down from the sky, he realizes how big the world is, and there are boundless plains as far as the eye can see.

This plain is not the Hanhai Gobi, but is covered with farmland, shrubs, deep grass, and between the woods are interspersed with ditches and ponds, and the outline of the surface is extremely chaotic, not to mention the small army looking for the marshal from it, and even his own flight direction is often lost.

In this way, he searched and flew all the way, but he unknowingly crossed the position of the marshal, gradually arrived at the front line, and saw Prince Frank's barracks.

The reason why it was determined that it was Frank, in addition to the royal flag, was also because of its size, thousands of tents stretched for several kilometers, this was the last formed resistance force in the empire, the westward march of the army with Frank as the commander-in-chief.

In order to avoid sensationalism, he landed on the ground early, put away the necromantic birds, summoned the steed Dire, and galloped towards the barracks.

Now that he is here, he decides to take Fanny away at once, leaving no chance for the prince!

The expected interrogation and blocking did not happen, the troops led by the prince were mainly "mobilized soldiers", the farmers were still farming yesterday, and today they went to the battlefield, there was a serious lack of military discipline and training, many people did not even have armor, except for an inferior iron helmet, there was no protection.

Chang Le was dressed in a gorgeous robe, originally to play the "magic master" in front of the elf queen, but when the "mobilized soldiers" saw him, they thought it was a nobleman under the prince, how dare they come up and ask, let him swagger and go straight to the main gate of the barracks.

And he walked all the way through the camp, listening to the soldiers gather in twos and threes to chat, and soon found that his suspicion was confirmed.

The lieutenant commander, Marquis Philip, did not agree with the prince, and had led his troops to leave two days earlier, weakening the already under-armed army again.

In particular, the fully equipped Fifth Guards Division, as the last elite standing army of the empire, was originally in charge of the garrison of the imperial capital and did not participate in the border battle, but fortunately preserved its strength, and this time it also went out as the core of the westward expansion army.

As a result, because the commander of the Fifth Division was Philip's brother-in-law, he naturally followed the marquis and left, resulting in only weak "mobilized soldiers" in the hands of the prince, and the morale of the whole army was seriously low.

The soldiers all believed in the discussion that the emperor would not let his son suffer defeat and become a prisoner, and he would definitely need reinforcements, so the prince would not move his troops like this, and he must be waiting for the arrival of "powerful reinforcements".

Chang Le knew very well that there would be no reinforcements except for the marshal's headquarters who were coming, and if this army was defeated again, it would mean the destruction of the Havilland Empire.

Seeing those soldiers talking expectantly about the non-existent "powerful reinforcements", Chang Le seriously doubted that if no reinforcements arrived in the end and this group was barely sent to the battlefield, I am afraid that the enemy would have already pulled out their feet and slipped away before they could charge.

Before the real war starts, the most urgent task is to improve the morale of the troops!

So in addition to picking Fanny away, Chang Le decided to have a serious talk with the prince as well.

The Prince's tent was easy to find, and the tallest and most ornate one in the center of the camp looked like a large golden mushroom towering in the sparse meadow, and would be the most conspicuous target if the enemy came to raid him.

It wasn't until he walked to the tent and looked like he was about to move forward that someone greeted him and questioned him about his name.

In order to make it less troublesome, Chang Le simplified his identity:

"I am an emissary, sent by Marshal Fontaine, to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

The guards were overjoyed when they heard the news:

"The marshal has sent someone, great! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is holding a military meeting, please wait a minute......

Before he finished his words, the crown prince heard the movement and had already ordered:

"Marshal's messenger, come in, let's have a meeting together!"

In addition to the prince himself, there were several unknown generals in the attendees, and the one sitting at the end of the table, with the rank of major general on his shoulder, was Fanny!

Fanny is already a general!

She had just graduated a few months earlier, and since then she has served in the General Staff Headquarters with the rank of major, and although she is valued by the military, she has not heard of any outstanding achievements.

Fanny can be a general, undoubtedly because of the prince's exceptional promotion!

Duke Stennis promoted his own son to be a general, which has already caused ridicule from everyone, and the prince's promotion of an irrelevant girl like this may have long become the gossip material of the entire empire after dinner!

And such a promotion must be accompanied by other conditions, did Fanny accept them all?

In addition to accepting this rank of Major General, what else did Fanny accept?

Chang Le's heart ached, and as soon as he entered the door, he stood still, staring at Fanny.

The girl is still as delicate, beautiful, and innocent as before, like a white "carnation after the rain", but her complexion is much haggard, and her eyebrows are full of worry.

Just this glance, Chang Le was full of pity, and countless sweet memories came to his heart, and he immediately decided in his heart that even if something happened to Fanny and the prince, he would forgive her, and let her return to him no matter what.

After all, the two are in a state of "breaking up", and even if Fanny does something, she is morally blameless, and she has also done things that are sorry for Fanny.

At this time, the prince's slightly dissatisfied voice sounded:

"When will the marshal's troops arrive? I've been waiting for three days!"

After speaking, he glanced at Chang Le with a lofty demeanor, and then moved his gaze back to the map hanging in front of him, and the same was true of several generals here.

After all, Chang Le is just a "messenger", not the marshal himself, so he wouldn't ask them to shake hands and greet them.

Only Fanny, from the moment she saw Chang Le, raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes were round, there was shock, a little joy and sadness mixed, and tears faintly appeared.

Chang Le walked calmly, sat down next to Fanny, pulled a chair, moved closer to her, and then took her other hand under the table.

Fanny struggled, but couldn't pull her hand out, glanced at the crown prince in a hurry, and lowered her head again, her face beginning to turn red.

The crown prince also noticed the abnormality, went around the table, found Chang Le's small movements, and immediately shouted:

"What's going on? Mr. Emissary, can you explain your actions?"

Chang Le smiled, and simply hugged Fanny into his arms:

"Introduction, she's my woman, I'm his man, clear enough, clear enough, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Fanny's little face turned completely red, and she kept whispering and begging:

"No!

She still tried to break free, but as in the past, her resistance to Changle was still weak.

Fanny's demeanor angered the prince even more, and he took a few steps, pointed at Changle's nose and roared:

"It's you, Changsler, that untouchable bandit!"

Hearing this, several other generals jumped up and drew their swords out of their sheaths, as if they were planning to help the coach kill their rivals.

But these people together can't match Chang Le's fingers, and the latter is of course light and light, just smiling slightly.

Fanny finally couldn't take it anymore, struggled to break free from Chang Le's arms, got up suddenly, and then tore the rank on her shoulder.

The crown prince was shocked and hurriedly spoke out to stop it, but Fanny was too weak to tear off the epaulettes after all.

She had no choice but to cry out in a weak voice:

"Your Royal Highness, I know that you appointed me as a major general's staff officer because of your affection for me. But you have always been polite and never forced me to do anything......"

Chang Le heard this, with a relieved smile on his face, and Fanny explained to him in this way that she and the prince had not committed any misdeeds.

Even if it happened, he was ready to forgive, not to mention that it hadn't happened, it was even more wonderful!

And Fanny continued, sending a plea to the crown prince:

"Your Highness, I hope you can continue your tolerance, I haven't been able to get out of my past relationship, if you are unhappy, you can remove me, please don't force me, let alone hurt....... don't hurt him......"

The crown prince's expression changed, and Chang Le had a bright smile on his face.

Since the other party has always been polite and did not force Fanny, his impression of the crown prince immediately improved.

So he got up and smiled:

"Your Royal Highness, I am here today for one purpose to pick up my woman, and the other purpose is to help you and help you win the battle. ”

"Nonsense!" one of the generals roared, "you are a little bandit, and you can help us win the battle?"

Everyone gossiped, and gradually let Chang Le figure out their attitude.

These so-called "generals" are not soldiers from the Guards system at all, but a few noble children that the prince trusts on weekdays.

They have never entered a military academy, and they are all pretentious, not to mention Chang Le, a "little thief", they don't even look down on Marshal Fang Dan, and the plan to ask the marshal to lead his troops over to meet the division is completely out of Fanny's suggestion, and the crown prince is obedient to Fanny.

Those people have long been dissatisfied with this, they look down on the marshal, because the marshal has too few soldiers, and a considerable part of them are Chang Le's subordinates, who can only beat the thieves who rob their homes!

Chang Le was so angry with them that he laughed:

"What right do you have to look down on the marshal? He is a famous general of the Empire, what are you? What victories have you fought, tell me about it?"

"Our qualifications, it's not your turn to question this little thief!"

A "general" slapped the table and shouted:

"Fontaine's last victory was twenty years ago, it's outdated!

Another chimed in:

"Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never fought a war, he is familiar with military books and has memorized all kinds of military theories like fluent! The current war does not rely on brute force, but on wisdom! And the wisdom of His Royal Highness Frank is unmatched!"

Chang Le shook his head with a smile and turned to Fanny:

"My beautiful female general, please be fair, this prince Frank, who has never led a soldier, but is very wise, with such a group of truly talented and learned generals, who are by no means sycophants, leading a group of peasants with high morale and never fleeing to the battlefield, will definitely be able to win the battle, right?"

Fanny couldn't answer this question at all, to be honest, she would definitely offend the crown prince, and if she told a lie, she would offend Chang Le, and this soft-hearted girl could only cry in a hurry.

"That's enough!" Frank didn't slap the table, his bearing was relatively graceful, but his tone was very stern, "Mr. Changsler, I have maintained the maximum patience with you, if you spread the words of defeat again, according to military discipline, I should also kill you!"

Chang Le nodded:

"That makes sense, I won't speak, but now please tell me how many troops you have? How many troops did Marquis Philip take with him, and where did he take them? What are the enemy's forces, where are they, and what are your next steps?"

"Please be aware of your identity. Frank's face sank, "As the commander of the army, I am not obligated to report the battle plan to a bandit!"
