After listening to Russell's heartfelt words, Viscount Hale left Russell's camp with a hint of smile and regret.

Before leaving, he praised Bauer's tea and gave him a small bag of dinars.

After Viscount Hale rode on his horse and left, Bauer secretly told Russell: "Actually, I don't know how to make tea at all, but I just saw that the tea water was about to boil and served it, but I didn't expect the Viscount to like the tea I brewed very much." ”

Russell patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "You are an ignorant and fearless!"

Russell then walked towards Carlos' tent, leaving a bewildered Bauer stunned in place.

Russell walked to Carlos' tent, where he was looking at the map he had bought at great expense.

When the two saw each other, they all wanted to say something, and this coincidence appeared, and Russell and Carlos laughed at the same time very tacitly.

Carlos made an inviting gesture and said, "Please also ask Your Excellency Russell to give your opinion first." ”

Russell pursed his lips, walked to the table and said to Carlos, "An old man has just come to visit me, and it is the Viscount of Hale that I told you before. ”

Carlos thought back to the familiar name and said, "Oh, it's him!"

Russell nodded and said, "It's him, I used to doubt whether he was the one who framed my father, but the result should be that I thought too much about it, he came to me this time to let me join his team and win military merits." ”

Carlos hurriedly asked, "How did you answer?"

Russell smiled: "Of course I refused his request, you are all my companions from birth to death, how can I abandon you?"

"Then I'll be relieved"

Russell had already spoken of the important point, and his expression became a little grim.

"What Viscount Haile said to me this time reminded me that we must not think it safe to stay in the rear, for this time there may be another enemy, whose army is always elusive, and may attack the rear of the ranks at any moment. ”

Carlos nodded and said, "You just happened to talk about what I was going to say, according to the strange things we have encountered during this time, I am afraid that the abyss army mentioned by Shu Ling has arrived in our world, and this war may be very difficult." ”

Russell agreed, "What you said makes a lot of sense, let's pay attention to it in the next battle." ”

In the initial engagement, the Empire had the upper hand, and Empress Gladys, seeing that the enemy was clearly showing the intention of retreating, began to order the rear troops to march forward.

Since most of his army was cavalry, Earl Pike still camped on the plain in front of the forest and waited for the arrival of the large army.

A day later, the Imperial armies converged again, and this time no amount of ambushes could resist the path of the Imperial Legions, and the troops who had been ambushed in the forest had already withdrawn from the place when they saw that the situation was not good.

The dense conifers that stood in the way were a big obstacle, and the siege was sure to be indispensable for the next battle, so the empress ordered the soldiers to start cutting down these trees and making them into siege equipment, such as ladders, battering rams, siege towers and other siege weapons.

Hundreds of thousands of people started working together, and this thousand-year-old ancient forest was cut down in a few days, leaving only a large number of wooden stakes standing on the ground.

The animals that have lived here for generations have lost their sustainable homes and fled the forest in a disturbed manner, but they have not fled far and have been wandering nearby.

This ancient forest is also the place where the tribesmen of the Snow Tribe have hunted and grazed for generations, and the cutting down of the forest by the Imperial army is certainly not hidden from the eyes of the tribemen, who are indignant and want Prince Gael to agree to their war.

Seeing a group of tribal warriors kneeling in front of him, Gail was a little moved.

But after a while, he became serious and said to the already soldiers: "I understand the anger in your hearts, because I am also angry, but now we cannot fight!"

When the warriors heard the prince's words, they were puzzled and asked, "Why don't you let us go into battle?"

"We are not afraid of the Empire's armies. ”

"We're going to fight them to the death!"

"Listen to me, everybody!" Gael continued as he calmed the situation, "The scouts of the abyss have already reported to me, and they have detected the plains not far from the forest, and there are still some faint figures of Imperial troops passing by.

This proves that the Empire has ambushes there, and as soon as we attack the Imperial troops who are cutting down trees, those ambushes will immediately appear and attack our flanks, so I don't give the order to attack, and I don't want my warriors to die. ”

The warriors listened to the prince's explanation and stopped clamoring to attack the imperial army, but their hideous faces still showed the resentment in their hearts.

Gale understands how important a real victory is to his own morale, so as the prince of the Snowfield Tribe, he must play the role of leader!
