The night in the northwest of the empire is always much earlier than in the other prosperous provinces in the east, especially this autumn night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf you let the people of an eastern province such as Rhodo or Tokai stay here, you will inevitably feel a different feeling than the warm and humid eastern maritime climate. Especially in this autumn and winter, the huge temperature difference between day and night makes the nights in the northwest particularly lonely and cold.

The bitter cold of the northwest has been the case for thousands of years.

Just after the first battle between the garrison of Boulder Town and the Macedonian army, in the middle of the night, a group of men and horses quietly sneaked out of Boulder Town.

It was a cavalry corps, each of whom carried a walking horse with him in addition to a war horse, but wore only the lightest leather armor, and wore a short crossbow and a scimitar.

The number of this light cavalry team was about twenty people, all of whom were silent, silent, and lightly armed. They tried to choose a hidden mountain road, bypassing the Macedonian garrison, and then galloped eastward.

Such a team, this night, quietly slipped out of Boulder Town in a total of five batches. It was not until near dawn that the last cavalry rounded the Macedonian camp.

At this moment, in the camp of the Macedonian army, except for the sentries on the lookout and the night patrol in the battalion, most of the soldiers were still asleep. Yesterday's big battle undoubtedly made these soldiers who had come from afar a little tired, and the military order passed down by the commander last night was that the whole army rested, so the barracks was quite quiet at the moment.

Outside the tent of the Chinese army, a guy dressed as a Macedonian officer walked quickly to the camp tent. At the door of the tent were two burly Macedonian warriors, not wearing military uniforms, but armor and weapons of various colors. The Macedonian officer whispered a few words to the two Macedonian warriors standing guard in front of the tent door, and then one of the warriors turned and walked into the tent.

After a while, he heard a slight male voice from the tent:

"Come in!"

Kakar, the officer at the door, walked into the tent with a respectful face, the light inside the tent was not very good, and there was a strong smell of smoke in the air. However, under the cover of this incense, there seems to be a faint fishy smell, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. However, Kakar didn't even frown as if he hadn't smelled it, and just stood aside respectfully.

In the center of the tent was a table and a large chair in animal skin. A man was reclining on a large chair with his eyes closed, looking very comfortable and relaxed, this man was the young nobleman in the daytime.

"Returning to my lordship, last night I have released sentinels in the mountains on the roads out of Boulder Town, and scouts have also been arranged in the mountains and forests outside the camp. Sure enough, as the adults expected, there were indeed small groups of troops in the city who fled in batches last night, and most of them went all the way to the east, apparently in the direction of Moxi Guannei. ”

Kakar's tone was very respectful, and his body leaned forward slightly, as if he did not dare to alarm the noble man lying on the big animal skin chair.

"You're doing a great job. The young nobleman didn't even open his eyes, but said with some disdain: "It's just that I didn't expect these ants to be unbearable so quickly, but...... Kakar, you say, have these guys already guessed something?"

Kakar lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "My subordinates don't dare to guess, but I think it's likely that these guys are going to ask for help." After all, there are only a few regular armies in Moxi Pass, and these guys are all lightly armed and don't carry too much baggage, so they should be in a hurry. ”

"No," the young nobleman shook his head, "Now the entire Guanwai is our army, and those armies in the Guanwai are also entangled by our main force, and they will not be easily withdrawn." Boulder Town is far away in the western part of the river valley corridor, and Moxi Pass is in the eastern part of the river valley, and they are nearly thousands of miles away in between. ”

"What do you mean by ......"

"If it's not for help, it's for the military, but these ants have sensitive noses, and they actually feel some danger......"

"Even if these guys don't know anything, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep this little town. After all, there are thousands of Macedonian warriors under your command, and it is really easy to capture this small city. ”

The young nobleman squinted his eyes, changed to a comfortable position and lay down again, but waved his hand and said, "Hmph, you don't have to say such things to test me, I surrounded Boulder Town, naturally I have my own plans."

If this town was just an ordinary rebel army, it would naturally be overthrown by a large army. But what's interesting is that there are magicians in the city! Haha, how boring it would be to take the city like this!

Anyway, there's still a lot of time, if you can fight a Light Empire magician, and then kill him with your own hands, hehe...... What an interesting thing it would be for a magician to refine the soul of the undead!

Speaking of which, although this is the first time I have led a soldier into battle, it seems that my two brothers are not very comfortable with me. First, he sent an old fellow to supervise and control me, and then reduced my troops, so that I only had to bring more than 10,000 warriors from my headquarters...... Now, the war is almost over, and I have been sent to do such a trivial thing as cleaning the rear. If I don't find something to do, won't this expedition be boring to death?"

Kakar's face suddenly tightened, and things like this were naturally not something he could discuss casually, so he simply stood aside without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the young nobleman nodded thoughtfully and said:

"You see, I forgot that you are an officer promoted by my father, so naturally you don't want to get involved in these things. However, before this expedition, I heard that my eldest brother used to be very close to you and gave you a lot of benefits...... Oh, I heard that before leaving, I also sent a few beautiful women from Isby to your house, right?

Speaking of which, those women do have a lot of taste, and even to a shaman like me, who worships the gods, the women of Isby are very angry......"

The young nobleman was still casually talking, but Kakar was already covered in cold sweat, and he was almost on his knees:

"Your Highness, I ......"

Only then did the young nobleman open his eyes and looked at Kakar with some surprise:

"What's the matter, why do you look like you're so nervous? Oh, I forgot, this kind of thing is usually very secretive. I shouldn't have said it so brazenly, so that my dear big brother would know from your mouth, wouldn't it? Look at me, I always forget these trivial things, and I can say whatever I want, it's really nerve-wracking......"

Seeing that the young nobleman deliberately looked suddenly realized, Kakar's face turned pale, and he finally couldn't help but fall to his knees, not daring to say a word again.

"Get up, Kakar, don't be so nervous. The young nobleman sighed and said in a very self-reproachful tone: "Really, I can't even find a person who can speak from the heart...... Speaking of which, you are also a warrior in my Macedonian army, don't just kneel down casually!, remember?"

When the young nobleman said this, he shook his head and said, "It seems that I still have to be thoughtful, if these guys ask for help, it is nothing more than asking for help from the nearby rebels......

Kakar, are there any other large-scale rebellions near Boulder?" )
