Chapter VIII

Has it already been chosen! Could it be that the teacher is also from a royal family?

After hearing Li Yuxuan's answer, Tork couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, although he knew that he shouldn't have inquired into the teacher's privacy, but the young man's curiosity finally overcame reason. Through nearly half a year of contact with Li Yuxuan, Li Yuxuan has a unique temperament that deeply attracts him. Although the teacher usually doesn't communicate with him much, and he spends most of his time alone. But even if the teacher didn't say a word, the domineering spirit of the king still couldn't make him ignore it.

Teucer had compared Li Yuxuan to his father in his own mind, and even he was shocked by the conclusions he came to. It seems that the teacher has more of a monarchical demeanor than the king's father. The father's fiery temper made it clear to all the people what was going on in their king's mind. Because of this, although those ministers seemed to be quite afraid of their father on the surface, it was clearly not the same thing in their hearts. As can be seen from the siege of his father in the valley of Solang, the ministers' fear of the Newingman Imperial Army seems to be far greater than their loyalty to their father.

And the teacher is obviously different from his father, he is so silent that the people around him can't see what kind of person he really is, and they don't know what his heart really thinks. However, all people did not ignore his presence because of his silence. On the contrary, the sense of coercion that the teacher who does not speak gives to the people around him makes everyone feel an unpredictable danger. The teacher is like a cheetah hidden in the shadows and peeping into everything, everyone's thoughts can't escape his eyes, and others can never understand what he really thinks.

What a terrifying power!

Strange wisdom that borders on cunning, darkness!

Extraordinary Determination and Strong Confidence!

This is what Teucer thinks about his teacher at this time.

"Teucer, are you thinking about me?"

Without waiting for Teucer to ask, Li Yuxuan had already said what he was thinking.

Teucer had long known that it was impossible for anyone to hide their true thoughts in front of the teacher, so even if Li Yuxuan guessed his mind now, he didn't feel anything surprising.

"Yes, teacher. I wonder what kind of person the teacher will be, and who should his real identity be?"

Since he knew that he couldn't hide anything, Teucer also straightforwardly asked Li Yuxuan his own questions face to face. Subconsciously, Teucer thought that Li Yuxuan would never hurt himself, which was why he was able to say what was in his heart so calmly.

Surprised by Teucer's generous attitude, Li Yuxuan's face did not change at all, and he stared back at the smoke rising in midair.

"I'll tell you when it's time for you to know, but I'm afraid it won't be until the end of this war. ”

"When does the teacher think this war will end?" Seeing that Li Yuxuan refused to answer his question, Tork was unwilling to do any more senseless entanglement, and shifted the topic to the war in front of him.

"I think it will take at least another month, and it will depend on whether your father can seize the opportunity to use the main forces of the kingdom in the valley of Zaisorang, which is now besieged. In the final analysis, it is impossible for our current army alone to defeat the 100,000-strong army of the Newingman Empire. ”

"A month?"

"Alright, you go down first, it seems that our scouts have brought back some new news. ”

I saw a cavalryman dressed in the armor of a Fabre knight coming towards Hyde City in the smoke and dust in the distance, and in an instant, he passed through the city gate and entered the city. Hearing Li Yuxuan's command, Teucer turned around and walked towards the stairs at the corner of the city wall.

Maybe one day, you'll know me again on the battlefield!

Li Yuxuan glanced at Teucer's distant back, the young man's immature shoulders had already begun to bear the burden of the entire kingdom.

While Li Yuxuan led 5,000 wandering knights to fight against Sever's 8,000 infantry outside Hyde, Count Ferdinand was leading the main cavalry regiment in the opposite direction of the battlefield. Two days later, Ferdinand's main cavalry arrived in the small town of Awute. Just a few days ago, not a single Fabre soldier could be found in this small city where the main reinforcements of the Kingdom of Fabre were stationed. It seemed that the main force of Fabre's reinforcements disappeared out of thin air. What is even more amazing is that not only could not find a single soldier in this small city, but not even a single civilian. The entire city of Awute was completely empty.

Ferdinand, who had set up his camp outside the city, was puzzled by this situation, and could not understand where the main force of his opponent had gone, nor could he understand why the city of Ayvot had become an empty city.

The day after Ferdinand's army of 25,000 cavalry occupied the city of Evut, scouts from the direction of Hyde finally solved the mystery. The city of Hyde was occupied by enemy troops, and the supply lines of the Imperial cavalry of the Newman Empire had been completely cut off.

What the hell, when did Fabre's main forces cross their own lines and run to Hyde City, will they fly!

On reflection, Ferdinand's only conclusion was that Fabre's main force had advanced from the southern front to Hyde by the time they arrived at Evutte, and that the two thousand infantry had only played a role in confusing himself in order to misjudge the date of their departure.

Ferdinand's reasoning seemed logical, but there was one point in it that he could not find a reasonable explanation.

How did the main force of Fabre's reinforcements escape from their scouts on the southern front and run to Hyde City? You know, that's an infantry of 20,000 slow tortoises.

On the other hand, the fact that Hyde City was captured was in front of Ferdinand, and he could not believe that a few thousand wandering knights could capture the fortified city of Hyde without any siege equipment.

There seems to be only one way ahead of Ferdinand now, and that is to gather all the forces at his disposal and retake Hyde City from the enemy. But faced with this only solution, Ferdinand hesitated. With his own 30,000 cavalry to smash the enemy's 20,000 or so troops stationed in Hyde City, the odds of victory are obviously not on his side, once the siege is not over, then he will definitely end up buried in a foreign country. When the time comes, what "colorful knights" and what "flowers of the empire" will also become a passing cloud.

No, I can't do this by myself.

Before Ferdinand made any further moves, the first thing he denied was a move that would have helped him to win. In his mind, it was already an irrefutable fact that the main force of Fabre's reinforcements was stationed in Hyde City. Li Yuxuan's "false and real plan" finally had the expected effect, and he concealed Ferdinand, the cavalry commander of the Newman Imperial Army.

Standing in front of a military map, Ferdinand finally found his goal.

Fabre's capital, the city of Serres.

It was only a little over two hundred miles from the city of Awute, and the distance was not much different from that of Hyde, and the cavalry could reach the city of Cyres in four days. At this moment, Fabre's main army has been transferred to the western part of the kingdom, and the capital city of Serres, which is located in the eastern part of the kingdom, must be quite empty. Why don't you take this opportunity to take the city of Seres in one fell swoop, and cut off the supply line of Fabre's reinforcements while solving your own supply problems. Another reason for Ferdinand's attraction was that once the city of Serres was captured, the blow to the morale of Fabre's army was immeasurable, and as the commander of the battle, he would undoubtedly be the first contributor to the empire's annexation of Fabre.

Military and political considerations ultimately determined Ferdinand's "Plan for the East".

It was also this "eastward expansion plan" that Ferdinand stepped into the trap that Li Yuxuan had already arranged, which eventually led to the end of him and the entire Newman Imperial cavalry to Fabre.

As soon as he thought of this "eastward expansion plan" that could make his fame and fortune come true, Ferdinand was very excited.

Three days later, the five thousand cavalry who had been on the northern front arrived at the city of Evut under Ferdinand's order to "march east at full speed", and in his order they were asked to avoid each other and make a detour when they met Fabre's two thousand infantry. In Ferdinand's eyes, the 2,000 infantry seemed to be irrelevant, and thus gave up his only chance of winning the war, but it was only a partial victory.

Just as Ferdinand had completed his order to assemble his main force at the city of Evut, Corinth and his two thousand infantry arrived at Hyde. Li Yuxuan was also shocked by this result. I didn't expect Ferdinand to let go of this low-hanging victory. It also shows Ferdinand's eagerness to attack Serres.
