Anyone who travels at night will be glad that there are two moons on this continent. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The white moon Selene and the red moon Artemis illuminated the entire continent of Theseus, but the group of people who were on the road today were very reluctant to be illuminated. On a night without moonlight, the human vision will be greatly reduced, which is especially good for those who want to hide from their pursuers.

But tonight is a full moon again, and the white moonlight is more than half brighter than usual, which makes Bert very anxious. He didn't dare to stop and rest until he had found a clear geographical indication and determined his location. The people who followed him also understood, and no one complained at this time.

Walking south for most of the night, before everyone was about to give up, there was a silvery white light in the distance in the moonlight.

Bert quickly took out the map in his arms and compared it in the bright moonlight. A river is very clearly marked on this precise military map.

"Everyone, let's camp near the river. We'll be to the nearest village tomorrow. Bert couldn't hold back his excitement and turned back and shouted. The people who had been drowsy immediately woke up, and after a little more perseverance, they could see the warm bed.

The speed of the group increased at once, and even the tired horses seemed to understand Bert's words, and their steps ceased to flutter, and began to run in small steps.

An hour later, the group had reached the river, and the horses were exhausted from the day's walk, and everyone jumped off their horses and let them go to the river to replenish their water.

"Bert, it is estimated that there are still two hours before dawn, you tell everyone to rest early. We'll continue our journey early tomorrow morning. I'll keep an eye on it at night, so you guys have a good rest. Frank took out some dry food and left. At night, Frank's eyesight is the best, and it is best to keep him on guard.

Watching the young man leave Bert was a little unbearable, Frank was the youngest of them, and now was the time for him to grow up, and after a long day of fighting, everyone fell asleep, but he still insisted on going to the sentry.

"You're tired too, rest early, and wait until you get to the village tomorrow." Erin walked over to Bert and sat down.

Bert looked at Frank's departing figure and didn't speak, everyone was afraid that the alien troops were nearby, so they didn't light a bonfire, and many people didn't care whether the ground was clean or not, and they just lay down to sleep, and snoring for a while.

"What are you thinking?" said Erin, noticing Bert's strangeness.

"I'm wondering how good they must be if they are masters, they will be able to defeat those enemies easily, and those knights will not be sacrificed. ”

"Don't be too sad, we can't compare to the master and them now, but we have such a strong master as them, and you still have so many friends. We will definitely defeat those invaders in the future. ”

Bert looked at Erin in the moonlight, and there were some ripples in his heart, the girl in front of him was suffocatingly beautiful. Her face was a little pale from the overcast, but it showed the delicacy of her skin even more. The long, somewhat messy hair that was stirred by the wind scattered haphazardly. Because he was too tired, his eyes were foggy, which made Bert look stupid for a while.

Eileen was probably too tired, and before Bert could say anything, she fell asleep with her head resting on his shoulder. Bert's heart was already beating to his throat, and he had never been so nervous when he had played against Poor Strange before. Fortunately, everyone had fallen asleep, and no one saw his whole red face.

Bert gently placed Erin on the ground and took out the quilt from the duffel bag to help her cover it. Bert then lay down beside her, and he fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, who had also overcast the spell.

The warm evening breeze swept across the river, soothing these weary travelers.

The next day, Tallinnburg.

"Marshal. Birdwin hurried in, not paying any attention to Hebrew, who was still eating breakfast.

"Is there a letter from the military headquarters?" Hebrew wiped his mouth and ordered the breakfast to be removed.

"Yes, the letter that was sent back with the magic array a few days ago has been replied today. Please take a look at it. Bodwin handed the letter with both hands.

Hebrew discovered that the letter was still stamped with the seal of the military department. This magic array itself is already internally transmitted, and it actually adds a layer of insurance, and it seems that the contents inside will be very confidential.

Hebrew took the knife he had used to eat, tore open the envelope, and took out the letter inside and looked at it. It didn't take long for a strange look to appear on his face.

It was rare for Birdwin to see him so serious, and it can be seen that this letter from the military department gave Hebrew a headache. "Marshal, is it tricky?" this kind of thing his rank does not necessarily have the right to know, and Bodwin can only ask about it by playing a side game.

Hebrew put away the letter and sighed. "Gather all the captains in the council chamber and talk together. We might have to leave the city. With that, he walked to the council chamber.

Bodwin was stunned, how could he abandon Tallinnburg? Why did the enemy abandon the city when there was no sign of attacking it? Not to mention that he was unwilling, all the people of the "Red Panther Knights" who had been stationed here for 20 years would not be willing.

Berdwin hurriedly sent people to inform the captains of the various brigades, and even the captain of the conscription brigade was called.

It didn't take long for the people representing the highest combat unit in Tallinnburg to gather in the council chamber. Those who arrive late look at those who arrive early, those who arrive early look at Berdwin, and Birdwin looks at the Generalissimo. I didn't even understand what I was doing when I suddenly gathered them all together.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hebrew began to speak. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Imperial War Department sent us a reply this morning. The letter gave us a number of clear instructions. ”

Everyone did not speak, but listened quietly. Hebrew was silent for a moment before continuing: "The letter tells us to fight with the reserve legions, and then have a big battle with the alien enemy, and we must destroy the teleportation circle in one fell swoop and cut off their follow-up forces. ”

"When will the reinforcements arrive?" Cosimo asked, asking.

"The reinforcements are not on the way to Tallinn, they will join us in Budapest. Hebrew's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it.

"What do you mean, why don't the reinforcements come?"

"What are they doing in Budapest?"

"Those things who are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

Hebrew didn't say anything when he saw them scolding constantly, in fact, he also wanted to scold, but he couldn't mess up in front of so many people below.

"Marshal, even if they don't come, we can defeat the aliens ourselves, we don't need coward teammates. A captain stood up and said, and there was immediately a chorus of echoing voices below.

But the day before they replied, the city of Budapest sent an urgent letter back. The content is that the reserve transport route between Budapest and Tallinn Fort was attacked by an unknown enemy, and a large amount of armaments and supplies were looted. The Imperial War Department considered that Tallinn was too far from the Imperial territory to provide effective support, and ordered us to evacuate Tallinn Fort. ”

There was silence in the hall for a while, and then various objections erupted, including many voices greeting the supreme commander of the military department, but the person who was glared at by Birdwin suddenly remembered that the highest commander of the military department was Birdwin's father.

"Marshal, we can't withdraw, we have defended Tallinn Fort for so many years, how many times have we repelled Satya's troops? Not to mention, even if we withdraw, how can we take it back if we want to get it back then?" The third captain of the knight's brigade was very short-tempered, and he tried to restrain himself now, but his roar almost deafened Hebrew's ears.

"Everyone, everyone......" Hebrew gestured to silence them. "I understand everyone's feelings for Tallinn, and I'm just like you. ”

The captains of the various brigades who had calmed down fell silent. So Hebrew continued: "But I am the marshal, and you are the captains of the empire, and you cannot do one thing according to your own personal preferences. Under each of you are a whole 10,000 soldiers, and you have to think about their lives and their children's families. We've lost most of our defensive equipment, and we're running out of food. We are waiting for this batch of supplies, and you will teach me how to fight this battle without supplies. ”

The crowd didn't speak again, and even the most basic knights knew the truth that the soldiers and horses had not moved the grain and grass first.

Seeing that no one spoke, Hebrew simply continued: "Fortunately, the civilians in the city have been evacuated to several cities near Budapest in advance, and we can withdraw our troops with confidence. No one knows Tallinn better than we do, and I hope that when the time comes to retake Tallinn, the first to climb the walls will be our Red Panther Knights. ”

"Long live the Red Panther Knights!"

"No one can surpass us!"

Hebrew looked at the ambitious captains and nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone, we still have five brigades of soldiers on our hands, and two of them are conscripts. I hope you can keep them safe as much as possible when we retreat, we are the regular army of the Empire, an elite order of knights, and we must not let the Praetorian Guard guys see our jokes. Well, now let's start arranging the retreat. Today, the soldiers of the three cities in the south, east and south were informed to return to the main city. In addition, destroy all the trebuchets on the city walls, and we can't take them with us, and we can't keep them. Early tomorrow morning, the 1st Brigade will be the vanguard, and the 3rd Brigade will be the rear, aiming at Budapest. Wipe out all the aliens you encounter along the way and avenge your brothers in the legations!"

"Yes!" all the captains slapped their chests with their right hands, making a dull sound.

Hebrew had received the news of what had happened in the legations, and the knights who reported the news immediately went to the place of the incident with five squadron of knights, but saw corpses all over the ground. Unfortunately, it was as if the wave of enemies had suddenly disappeared, and they never appeared in their sight again.
