"But Sophia, she is only sixteen years old, how can a girl in her teens learn all your knowledge, you are the first wise man in the empire......" The old servant looked a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Carmel, you don't understand, there is a kind of people, they are born to understand a lot of truths, and in a short time they can learn things that others can't learn in their lifetimes, and their pursuit is never something that ordinary people can imagine. And Sophia is such a genius...... I think that she has already had the answer to her question, and she left here and the imperial capital just to verify her answer......"

When Master Kant said this, he didn't seem to pay attention to the surprised look on the old servant's face, and just whispered faintly, "...... Sophia, she went to the Northwest not to train, but to find her own opportunities and ambitions, to find the person who could change her own mediocre fate......"

What Master Kant didn't know was that at the same time, thousands of miles away, in the Sadland County Guard's Mansion on the most border of the Western Empire of Light, the girl he praised as a genius was talking in front of Joseph and Alok at the moment.

"So, the place I chose is the northwest!" Sophia smiled faintly, then took the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea gently, and then said seemingly casually: "After I came to the northwest, it took me a year and a half to travel through the two provinces of Turan and Moxi, eleven counties and fifty-two towns. I have a basic understanding of the topography, rivers and mountains, and even the population distribution of the entire Northwest.

When the war broke out in the northwest last year, I was traveling in Turan Province to study, and after knowing that the Macedonians had captured the Guanwai, I rushed from Turan to Moxi Pass, and only barely managed to get out of the Guanwai by virtue of my identity as a magician.

It was also at that time that I learned about the distribution of Macedonian forces from many sources, and I even returned to Guannai with such a valuable piece of information and reported it to the then Governor of Moxi, but unfortunately, the Governor of Heru was recalled to the imperial capital by the central government before he got my information. ”

When the girl said this, she seemed to shake her head with some regret, but Jose looked at her with a surprised expression, and couldn't help asking: "You, you guy, mean, you also sneaked outside the pass to investigate the enemy during the outbreak of war, and figured out the distribution of Macedonian forces?"

Sophia nodded, and her eyes became a little solemn: "In the past two years in the northwest, I have long seen that the war is approaching, and there are very few opportunities to get close to the battlefield like this." And I'm dressed as a magician, even if those Macedonian troops see me, as long as I don't take the initiative to provoke them, I'm afraid that no one on the mainland of Ceylon will take the initiative to provoke magicians.

With this identity, I traveled around several fallen counties outside the Guan, and roughly figured out the number and strength of this Macedonian army, as well as the commander of the army, the Barcelus, who was known as the Macedonian military god.

That was my first encounter with the Macedonians, the main part of their army was stationed in the county town of Sadland. I stayed in Sadrand for almost two months, changing identities every day to find out about the military camp in the south of the city. Two months later, I had almost figured out the details of this army, their training methods, their daily routines, including the daily consumption and supply of food.

I quickly deduced that the approximate number of troops was at least fifty thousand men, and these were roughly the main forces of the Macedonians, who were numbered the Third and Fourth Legions, and in the middle there were some banners of the Ninth Legion. The wartime information is not well-informed, and the analysis of the enemy situation is not clear except for the army and the warring parties, but this time the battle in the northwest is very different, and this is what I am most interested in. ”

Interested?

José looked at the little girl in front of him talking eloquently, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart: it was hard for him to imagine that such a good-looking little girl could talk about the war as easily as chatting.

"Speaking of this war in the northwest, it can be said that the key turning point is not someone else, but you, Lord Jose!" Sophia smiled faintly, and then said: "As far as I know, the Macedonians' invasion this time is not mainly to occupy the territory of the empire, because the two countries are thousands of miles away from the Gelqin steppe, unless the Macedonians have the courage to subdue the steppe people first, they will definitely not send an expeditionary force deep into the enemy's territory."

First, long-distance warfare will make it difficult to sustain the supply in the rear, and second, too many troops will be invested, which will lead to a decline in the country's troops. As far as I know, at the time of the Macedonians' invasion of the northwest, there was a war with Isbi in the north of Macedonia, which shows that the Macedonians were not fighting in the northwest, but only a conscious plundering war.

After two months in Sadland, I was even more sure of this, because in the Macedonian barracks, I stumbled upon a Macedonian army with a golden name. According to Macedonian tradition, only members of the royal family are eligible to play the golden throne, so it is not difficult for me to deduce that there must be members of the royal family in the Macedonian army.

Even more proof of my talent is the golden armor of Barcelus, obviously the main force of the golden armor is facing the Northwest Army on the front line, but there are three banner regiments in the city of Sadland, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Sixth Army, it is obvious that the responsibility of these people is to protect this noble Macedonian royal family. ”

When Sophia said this, her eyes fell on Joseph intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "An army that is quite not low, plus an imperial military god-like general, guards a member of the royal family. Considering that the Macedonians have always had a tradition of sending royal children to the front to fight, it is not difficult to deduce the intentions of this army.

This Northwest War was just a regular war for the Macedonians, and the goal was probably to fight a few battles with the Northwest Army so that a certain prince could gain some experience. It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that the empire had changed the governor of Moxi at this moment, and I don't know what to use to describe such a self-destruction of the city wall except stupidity. ”

Sophia had no scruples about directly using "stupid" to describe the Empire, and Alok on the side couldn't help frowning when he heard it, but Jose's eyes just fell on her, and he looked at Sophia a little strangely and said:

"I said you little girl, although you are a disciple of Master Kant, but in front of an official appointed by the empire like me, is it a little too presumptuous for you to use the word 'stupid' to describe the empire?

As an official of the Empire, you slander the reputation of the Empire like this in front of me, and to say that it is serious to despise the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor, you are not afraid that I will put you in the dungeon of Sadland?!"
