"Go ahead...... Go ahead!"

General Schett almost gritted his teeth and gave the same order again, in fact, at this moment, his mind had reached the limit of depression.

Frankly speaking, General Schett was not unprepared, since the second checkpoint was breached, he had vaguely guessed that someone was secretly helping him. But in all fairness, General Shet didn't really like this kind of "help", and of course, on the surface, it worked well, it removed the biggest threat from the crowd and cleared the obstacles in front of them. But in fact, its fanfare "way of helping" is a hateful gritted teeth, originally General Schitt planned to hide secretly and sneak out of the Sith Empire while it was unprepared, so that the Sith Empire would have reservations about the development of the situation if it did not grasp the exact time. But now with such a fanfare attacking the outpost, the Sith Empire is not a fool, and naturally knows that it must be an important person who intends to break through, and if it continues to develop like this, I am afraid that he will still go out of the border of the Orrut Kingdom, and this matter is probably already known to passers-by.

And now, looking at the fact that this is just "freshly baked" in front of him, I am afraid that he has not yet passed ten minutes of battlefield, and General Schert feels that it is a little difficult to even breathe. As a general, of course, he could easily see the defensive arrangement here, compared to the previous one, it was obvious that this final line of defense was more solid, the huge stone wall fortress, plus the wooden stake barricades, and the magic cannon with black holes in the city wall, General Sheter was sure that if he led his troops to attack, then at least three to five thousand troops would be needed to capture this fortress.

But now, this last fortress outpost has been completely demolished into ruins by an invisible force, and those sturdy and powerful magic guide cannons have fallen into the ruins, turning into piles of scrap metal. The corpses of heavily armed Sith soldiers were strewn all over the ground, and their deaths were so horrific that even the battle-hardened soldiers could not bear them. Quantitatively, the defending soldiers here should be around a thousand.

However, it is a bit terrible that a thousand soldiers, plus a fortress outpost, could not withstand a single round of attacks, and did not even have time to signal an attack. General Schitt clearly remembered that he had not seen any unusual light or light from here on his way here, that is, the outpost had not had time to signal in the face of an attack by the other side - but from a common sense point of view, this possibility was almost zero.

General Schett's gaze swept across the battlefield once more, and as before, he saw only the corpses of the Sith Empire soldiers, and no other corpses. It was hard for him to imagine who was helping him through this. Moreover, General Schett is not very aware of the other party's intentions. He also once suspected that this was a bitter ploy of the Sith Empire, tricking them into joining up with the envoys of the Kingdom of West, and then hunting them all down. However, General Shet himself knew very well that this was simply whimsical, and it would be more successful to deliberately relax his vigilance and let himself and others slip away than to make such a big move. And if the other party is from the Westster Kingdom, then it makes even more sense, they can reveal their identities and move forward with themselves and others, instead of seeing the head and tail of the dragon like now, as if they are deliberately avoiding them at all.

Of course, it can't be ruled out that the other party has concerns, after all, this is the land of the Sith Empire, even if they run out to introduce themselves to General Shet and others, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain the trust of the other party. However, General Schett also knew this, and he had deliberately stayed alone outside the camp when he had set up camp in the wilderness, hoping to lure out the mysterious visitors and have a good conversation with them. But he waited for a whole night, but the other party didn't mean to come out and reply. This also made General Schett very depressed, as a general, a politician, of course, he knew very well that there was no pie-in-the-sky good thing in this world. If this is what good things he or the children of the royal family have done, it is unlikely that he has finally come to repay the favor, you know, politics is politics. At this stage, even their best friends will be hesitant to move forward with the situation in front of them. After all, it's not just a personal vendetta, and whoever dares to help them means that they are likely to face the wrath of the Sith Empire and the attack of the Knights of Damnation. You know, the Sith Empire has always been eyeing the territories of neighboring countries, and the only thing they lack now is just a reason.

No one wanted to give the Sith Empire a reason to send troops.

In fact, General Schett is not so full of trust in West, after all, although the alliance between the two countries has been around for a long time, he also knows very well that the so-called exchanges between countries are like this. What's more, I heard that West V is not a magnanimous and eloquent monarch, even if the other party is really willing to accept him, I am afraid that the next day will not be easy. But at the moment, they have no other choice, and no country in the vicinity of Orrut is willing to accept them, they are like hot potatoes, and they can't even touch them. The biggest reason why there is a glimmer of hope for West is that the Sith Empire has already determined the next target of attack, and West is the first to bear the brunt, so at the moment they can be said to be two grasshoppers on a rope. As the so-called best choice without a choice, that's roughly the case.

"Let's try harder. ”

Looking at the exhausted soldiers in front of him, General Schett also frowned, although he had expected to encounter many hardships and hardships in the process of escaping. But he was confident that he could take the time to recuperate. As a result, after this inexplicable play, along the way, I and others were simply exhausted, racing against time, so they rushed for several days and nights in a row, and they were not able to rest well. Even the self is a little tired, not to mention the soldiers. And......... Thinking of this, General Schert glanced at the carriage behind him with a melancholy gaze.

"We'll be there soon! When we leave the border, we'll be safe!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing General Schitt's words, the soldiers also gritted their teeth, yes, they have reached the border area anyway, as long as they work harder, they can stay away from danger! Thinking of this, the soldiers mustered up their enthusiasm and immediately continued to move forward. And they didn't even notice that on the hillside not far behind them, a dark, petite figure was standing there quietly.

Sidwig raised her head, feeling the sunlight in front of her, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of smugness, full of cruelty and expectant smiles. She just stood quietly on the hillside, until the group in front of her disappeared, and Sidwig laughed coldly, she turned, jumped off the stone platform with a light weight, and returned to her own army—thousands of soldiers stood quietly and neatly in front of her, and no one moved, and although they all looked different, their expressions were exactly carved out of the same mold - cold, indifferent, and emotionless.

"Withdraw troops. ”

At the girl's command, the soldiers immediately turned around, and then marched in unison along the path from which they had come. Sidwig, on the other hand, sank for a moment, then turned his head to glance at the surrounding mountains and forests, and then followed behind his own team, leaving without the slightest hesitation.

And this scene was seen by You Lian who was in the forest.

And so it was. ”

You Lian held the reins and sighed in a low voice with a somewhat solemn face.

General Schitt didn't notice that, in fact, they were still much slower. They underestimated the power of the gifted knights too much, and they also relaxed their tracking of the rear. Although they thought that they were hurrying with their best efforts and speed, in front of the gifted knights, these efforts were ultimately in vain. In fact, at the same time that General Schitt came to the third checkpoint, Sidway's army was already following closely behind, like a shadow.

When he saw Sidwig's army, Yulian was also a little hesitant, he didn't intend to appear in front of these Orlutes right now, and he didn't want to go head-to-head with a gifted knight. But then, Sidwig's actions were somewhat unexpected, and instead of sending troops to encircle and suppress her, she ordered her soldiers to evacuate, and she came to the hillside alone, as if the young gifted knight had only come to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and had not seen any important targets at all.

And it was only then that Yulian could finally confirm that this young gifted knight was not as innocent as she seemed on the surface, she already knew who the people in front of her were, and what they wanted to do. However, even so, she still chose to let the other party go, so there was only one explanation - the girl was looking forward to the war with West, and she did not want to lose the opportunity. If there is no chance, then create it...... That's exactly what this teenage girl did.

"She's gone, brother. ”

"It's a little weird, Dad. ”

It wasn't until Sidwig's figure disappeared into the horizon that the two sisters, who had been silently following behind Yu Lian, spoke curiously.

"She didn't plan to attack. ”

"There was no intention of capturing either. ”

Instead, he chose to leave. ”

"She did it on purpose. ”

"That's right. ”

You Lian smiled and nodded, if he was a little nervous before, then now he has let go of most of his heart. After all, being followed by a gifted knight is not always a pleasant thing. And now, since Sidwig has expressed her position and attitude with her actions, then for Yulian, the uncontrollable surname in the situation has been reduced a lot.

Thinking of this, Yu Lianyi pulled the reins.

"Well, it's time for us to move on...... Next, it's time for dinner. ”

As he spoke, the shadow war horse under You Lian immediately took a step and quickly shuttled through the forest.

Although according to the terrain, the speed of people in the complex mountain and forest terrain is far less fast than on the flat road, but the three people including Yu Lian are riding are not extraordinary, the shadow war horse is obviously used to this kind of terrain, and the unicorn is the king of the forest, advancing on this rugged mountain road is simply a pre-dinner stroll for it, as for the nightmare, not to mention, the place where it lives, its environment is far harsher than this small mountain forest, and it is naturally familiar with it.

Because of this, Yulian and the others were able to destroy the outpost before the arrival of the Captain and the others and then retreat, otherwise, it would not be easy to race against time.

Unaware that someone was following him, General Schitt was still advancing, but at this moment, he had left the continent and headed for the rugged path in the mountains and forests. After walking for a long time, General Schett suddenly ordered the carriage to stop, and they began to camp in place.

"Why are they camping here, brother?"

"Aren't they afraid of being discovered, Dad?"

Looking at the soldiers who were moving not far away, the two sisters tilted their heads and asked questions with some curiosity, but Yulian looked around carefully, and then made a gesture to stop the two sisters, his eyes swept to the grass not far away, and then made a silent movement. Then, in the next moment, the horse beneath Yuren suddenly disappeared, and he turned sideways lightly, and soon jumped onto a nearby tree, hiding quietly in the shade.

Seeing Yu Lian's movements, the two sisters also reacted immediately, they quickly retracted their mounts, and then followed Yu Lian, jumping up the tree with ease like two nimble cats, and hiding their bodies with the help of the dense bushes.

Soon, the three of them saw those unnatural black spots in the grass not far away, which were not shadows or soil, but human beings who were all black. At this moment, they were lying quietly in the grass, motionless and monitoring the camp not far below. It is clear that these should be soldiers of the Kingdom of West, and if it is from the Sith Empire, there is no way to judge where the Orruts will stay. Only the Westers who have done business with them will designate the location of the joint and make contact. Only they can make such a move as an ambush in advance.

It seems that Yuren's speculation is not unreasonable.

"It's funny. ”

Retracting his gaze from those lurkers, Yulian sneered and didn't say anything more.

It was clear that things were going according to their expectations, and it couldn't have been a perfect unfolding for Yulen.

Minutes and seconds passed, and soon it was dusk, and the bright red sunlight covered the entire valley and forest, bringing a little gloomy atmosphere. It was only then that the Orrut soldiers, who had been resting, suddenly stood up and began to look around vigilantly. Soon, however, several rapid birdsong sounds came from the woods, echoing through the forest with a certain pattern.

“――！！”

Hearing these birdsongs, Olute also quickly responded. After the exchange of codes between the two sides, the woods fell silent again.

Then, several tall men in leather armor parted from the bushes and walked towards the Orlutes below.

In the face of these visitors, Olut's soldiers were obviously a little nervous, but General Sheter quickly stopped their rude behavior, because at this moment he had seen the person in front of him, it was the adjutant of Celt, one of the three major captains of West, as two allied countries, General Sheter still had a certain understanding of each other's members, and now, seeing a familiar face appear here, he was also secretly relieved.

"Hello, General Schitt. ”

Walking up to General Sheter, the young officer of West bowed slightly, saluted him, and then raised his head and smiled at the general of Orrut.

"I'm very glad to see you safe and sound, I heard that the Sith Empire has been moving a lot recently, and you haven't been able to show up at the scheduled time, honestly, we're really worried. ”

"I've bothered you. ”

General Schett also sighed at this moment, and he saluted the other man back, and then turned to look at the carriage.

"While the blockade of the Sith Empire is indeed tricky, luckily we are not badly lucky. In the end, he escaped......... Excuse me, when can we leave?"

"I'm afraid not for the time being. ”

Hearing this, the young adjutant shook his head with an embarrassed expression. Seeing his expression, General Schett was a little surprised.

"Any questions?"

"You have been in the royal capital all year round, and you may not know it. ”

Hearing General Shet's inquiry, the young adjutant smiled bitterly.

"In fact, just half a month ago, our patrol was attacked by unknown people, and three patrols were killed in a row, and the same thing seems to have happened on the border of the Sith Empire. Now to be honest, we all suspect that the other side is deliberately provoking, so patrols along the border line are very frequent at the moment. And here, our power has weakened, and we are not able to ensure your safety as we used to. So, I've received orders from the Legion Commander that we will only send troops to meet you once we have heard from you, and until then, we don't want to, and can't do, engage in a large-scale head-on conflict with the Sith Empire. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, General Schett frowned. Of course, he didn't know that half a month ago, it was Yulian's actions that made the border of the Red Fortress extremely tense, and Celtic, who had lost three patrols in a row, naturally couldn't stop, in order to be able to grasp the clues of the other party. He even ventured into a spy trip, but it was completely fruitless. Not only that, but after some days, they learned that several patrols had also been killed on the border of the Sith Empire, and at present, although the two countries still seemed calm on the surface, in private, they had already launched mutual spying and fighting.

Of course, General Schett had no way of predicting such a complicated situation, so he hesitated for a moment before he asked again.

"Is there no way to rush back before the Sith Empire with our current strength?"

"Frankly, it's very difficult. ”

The young adjutant spread his hands helplessly.

"The Sith Empire has strengthened the patrol of the border, and it is in a situation of dispersing the patrols, in fact, you are now on the border, you can't see the ordinary patrols, they have long been hidden, and once they find the target, they will attack it in groups. Frankly, our patrols have suffered their losses, and a strong army is necessary if we want to deter them. But I think you also understand that the Red Fortress is currently under construction, and we simply can't spare too many manpower, so the Legion Commander will give me an order to send troops to the rescue after confirming your whereabouts. Until then, I can only ask you to wait here a little longer. ”

"This ..............."

Hearing this, General Shet hesitated, he thought for a moment, and then nodded heavily.

"Okay, then we'll stay here for the time being, as you requested. ”

Although this is not in line with the original plan, the so-called people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Although General Schett felt that this arrangement was not very suitable, in the end, he reluctantly agreed.

"Thank you. ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the young adjutant's face, and then he turned around and gave orders to his subordinates.

"Go back at once and report to Lord Celt that we have received the dignitaries of Orrut and ask them to send reinforcements immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing this, two of his men immediately gave a military salute, and then one of them peeked at General Schitt, who had already turned around and walked back to the camp, with a hint of unease on his face. Then, he asked in a whispered voice of concern.

"Excuse me......... My lord, do we really want to do this? After all, Orrut is our ally, and they are ......... for us."

"I know what you mean. ”

The young adjutant had a serious and calm face, but without the slightest hesitation.

"It is true that they were our allies, and it is not moral for us to do so...... But we don't want war, guys, we're not afraid of death, we just don't want to see our loved ones die in the flames of war. Olute is gone, and we don't want our homes and loved ones to suffer for it, that's the order......... I think everyone understands what we're fighting for........." said this, and the young adjutant bit his lip. "Then, go and carry out the order. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing the young adjutant's answer, the faces of the two soldiers also became solemn, and they looked at the camp not far away again, then nodded heavily, and then they turned to leave. The young adjutant watched their backs intently, and it was only after the two had disappeared that he sighed softly and walked to the camp not far away.
