Chapter 159: The Only Explanation
Beyond the valley pass, a tributary of the Turan River winds out of it, and at this moment, on the banks of this river, on the broad mountain pass plain, thousands of tents of various sizes are distributed, where tens of thousands of the main forces of the Northwest Army are stationed.

In the evening, bursts of fireworks rose in the camp of the Northwest Army, and the soldiers in charge of logistics set up a cauldron to make a fire for cooking, and after a war last night, all the soldiers were also actively resting and busy.
The victory in last night's battle undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Northwest Army, especially in the face of such a strong enemy as the Macedonian Golden Armor. Since the start of the war, the Bright Empire has lost more and won less, and after Herudu was transferred back to the imperial capital, it caused a lot of turmoil within the Northwest Army.
In addition to a few standing regiments of the regular army in Moxi, the situation in the river valley was even more chaotic. However, in the last few battles, this duke from the imperial capital does have a lot of means, whether it is to boost morale or fight against the enemy, it has swept away the depression in the hearts of many soldiers for days, but he has a little more expectations for the future war.
On a hillside outside the camp, surrounded by a group of cavalry, a graceful figure appeared here. Su Ya, the commander of the Northwest Army, at this moment she is not wearing armor as usual, but in civilian clothes, like an ordinary Northwest girl.
"I heard that you have ordered the army to march into the valley tomorrow, right?" José on the side glanced at Su Ya, but his eyes casually glanced at the military camp in the distance.
"Yes, we've been fighting this battle for too long, it's time to put an end to this. Su Ya's voice was very low, she turned to look at Joseph, with a somewhat bright look in her eyes: "It's you, Joseph, I haven't seen you this year, you seem to have changed a lot." ”
"Is there one?" The corners of Jose's mouth rose, touched his nose, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I feel that you are still the same as before, just like the Suya in my impression." ”
"War can always make a difference. Su Ya shook her head, her eyes full of expressions that he couldn't understand.
At this time, there was a burst of singing from the direction of the barracks, and a group of guys in black robes gathered in the center of the camp, as if they were holding some kind of ceremony.
"Who are these guys, magician?" José was slightly surprised, for he could hear a faint wave of magic in the voices of these people's songs, which seemed to have some kind of calming effect.
Su Ya shook her head, she was wearing a robe made of linen at the moment, outlining her slender figure to the curves of a girl, and a look of piety suddenly appeared on her beautiful face:
"No, they're clergy in the army, and you know, magicians aren't that easy to find. They are all local temple servants in the northwest, and they are also responsible for doing some things to appease the army's hearts in the army, after all, there are also many temple believers in the northwest army. Judging by their appearance, they should be holding a ceremony to appease the undead for the Imperial soldiers who died last night. ”
"Pacify the undead...... José pondered for a moment, listening to the mysterious singing from above the barracks, accompanied by the pious gaze of many Northwest Army, but it was quite a bit sacred and desolate.
"The fallen soldiers could not bring back their bodies, so they could only leave as many of everyone's relics as possible and bring them back to their loved ones. Su Ya sighed faintly, her eyes a little erratic:
"There is a tradition in the Northwest Army that where you die in battle, you will be buried. As long as your soul is not gone, you can find your way home...... On the banks of this thousand-mile river of the Turan, I don't know how many warriors from the Western Frontier have been buried, and almost everywhere are the loyal souls of the empire!"
When Su Ya said this, her eyes fell on Jose, and she said in a very casual tone:
"I can see that you really seem to have changed a lot in the past year, and you are no longer the one who has a serious face when it comes to the bloodshed of war. I have a feeling that you seem to have experienced a lot of unusual things that have made you much calmer and more resilient. ”
Jose smiled slightly, didn't explain anything, just nodded: "In this year, I have indeed experienced a lot of things, and my heart has been sharpened a lot...... I thought you'd wonder why I had suddenly appeared here after I had disappeared for so long, but now it seems that you are not surprised at all, and you deliberately did not even mention it?"
"Of course I'm curious, but I have a feeling that if Joseph is willing to tell me, then you will naturally say, why should I ask?"
Su Ya deliberately glanced at Jose, but found that Joseph was also looking at her, and the two of them suddenly glanced at each other tacitly, and couldn't help but smile.
José thought about it, but still spoke:
"These things are a long story, after I was brought to the tribe by that elf, I found that the high priest of that tribe actually knew my teacher......"
José tried to pick out some less important things and say them again, but some details about the Protoss and others were deliberately hidden. Although he said it briefly, Su Ya couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she heard this.
When Joseph said that he had returned to Moxi and killed a wizard who claimed to be Falusi in Boulder Town, he finally couldn't help but frown and interrupted him: "You mean, you accidentally killed that Falusi wizard? Could it be that the commander of Macedonia, the third prince of Macedon, Falusi?!"
José thought for a moment and nodded seriously: "Based on my investigation afterwards and the reaction of the Macedonians, I think it is likely that it is that guy......"
Su Ya suddenly couldn't help but exclaim, her expression became solemn, she thought for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Although I believe that you won't lie to me, but after all, this matter is very important, and it is related to the direction of the war, so I must ask clearly." ”
Qiao Se could understand what Su Ya said, after all, this matter about the war between the Northwest Army and Macedonia can be regarded as extremely secret military intelligence, and there is no room for error.
José took a deep breath, trying to recall the situation, carefully recounting the process of how to fight Faluci.
After hearing what Jose said, even Su Ya was shocked, according to him, Su Ya felt that this matter was seven or eight points possible. Whether it is from the flag of the Macedonian army, or the appearance and clothing of the Falusi, and the reaction of those guys after hearing that Falusi died in battle, the accuracy of this matter can almost be proved.
Including Barcelus, who suddenly abandoned his army and hurried back to Sadland in desperation, if there was really any trap in it, then the price he paid would be too great! Of the Eighth Army, which had a total of nearly 10,000 people, only 2,000 cavalry escaped, such a sacrifice could never be a calculation, but it really seemed like a helpless move!
The commander was killed, the morale of the army was weakened, and his main force in golden armor was repatriated, no matter from any point of view, it can also explain why Barcelus reluctantly abandoned this elite army and returned to the army in Sedland desperately. (To be continued.) )
