Chapter Ninety-Four: Abandonment

(Ask for votes!)

At dusk, Princess Naya stood on the high walls of the city of Reese, looking south, looking preoccupied.

The outbreak of war on the border of the Huoyun Empire was something she expected, and the empire had made a lot of preparations for war for this. But she didn't expect that her uncle, who had always doted on her, would rebel in front of the battle and push the Huoyun Empire to the edge of the cliff. With a million Asman brigades in the south and 600,000 rebels in the north, the empire is in an unprecedented crisis.

At this critical moment of unstable hearts and wavering military morale, she stepped forward and was ordered to form the Sixth Army of the Empire, and led the army south, preempting the Asman army to reach the capital of the Roman Province, Reese. However, when she arrived in Rees, she received the news that the city of Priseli had fallen and that the Assman Left Army had marched towards Rees, so she had to order the army to stop advancing and strengthen the city defenses to prepare for battle.

"Sister Naya. ”

"Sister Alei, why are you here?" Naya turned around and saw a haggard looking Alei.

"I want to ......" Ah Lei looked at her, and stopped talking.

"Say whatever you want, you're my sister now. Naya laughed.

"Can you send someone to find my second brother?" said Ah Lei, tears glistening faintly in her eyes.

"Ah Lei, there's nothing I can do about it. Naya sighed, avoiding Arei's heartbreaking gaze.

All along, Naya didn't have a good impression of Liuyun. With the increase in the number of contacts with Liuyun, she slowly felt that this person was like a group fan, an extremely contradictory person, and often had some amazing conversations and did some unexpected things, which also made her view of Liuyun change a little.

At the banquet in the natural residence, after listening to Hua Scarlet's words and seeing Liuyun's sworn appearance, she even looked forward to Liuyun's better performance in the military exercise.

However, with the outbreak of the war, the military exercise was canceled, and Liuyun's performance in the war disappointed her greatly. After learning that the town of Sapp had been captured, most of the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment had been killed, and the regiment commander Liuyun had disappeared, she even suspected that Liuyun had abandoned his troops and escaped alone. Because of Liuyun's special identity, there was a lot of discussion in the emperor.

At this time, Hughes left the rebels and returned to the imperial capital with nine deaths, bringing back the news from the front.

In contrast, Hughes became a hero of the empire, while Liuyun became a coward. Under the manipulation of well-intentioned people, the news soon spread throughout the army, and Liuyun became synonymous with death-fearing ghosts. Strangely, Liuyun's father, Imperial Marshal Yan Tian, has always been silent about this.

"Perhaps, dying on the battlefield is a good thing for him. In that case, he would be at least a qualified military man. ”

"Why? The second brother is missing at the front line, and you don't even want to send someone to find him, princess, he is working hard for the country!" said Ah Lei, and couldn't help crying.

"Sister, don't worry, the battle on the front line is too tight, and I can't pull out anyone for the time being. Well, when the fighting on the front line stabilizes, I'll help you find him. Naya tried to delay the war.

"Princess, in your heart, do you still look down on my second brother so much, and don't care about his life or death at all?"

"Sister, the town of Sepp is lost, and he has not completed his mission. Most of the officers and men of the Third Regiment were killed in battle, but his whereabouts are unknown. I am not the only one who has an opinion on him, but most of the generals in the army have an opinion. There's really nothing I can do about it!" Naya's words also revealed a hint of anger.

"Your Royal Highness, one day, you will regret it!" said Ally, smiling miserably, turning and walking down the walled city.

The Roman province has a warm climate, fertile land, and is fed by two large rivers, the Pecos River and the Bolan River, which are convenient for water conservancy and irrigation, so the agriculture is very developed, and it is an important granary of the empire. Its capital, Rees, is a major commercial route connecting the Sith, Assman, and Fire Clouds, with nearly three million inhabitants, making it the largest city in the southern part of the empire.

These days, as the fighting in the south has arisen and Priseli has fallen, a flood of refugees has poured into the city. Therefore, Princess Naya ordered that martial law be imposed on the whole city, and all refugees temporarily lived outside the city, and the city of Rees gave them basic living guarantees, and they could only enter the city after strict checks. Residents of the city are strictly forbidden to leave the city. At the same time, Naya sent troops to dismantle all five bridges over the Pecos River south of the city. When this order was given, Naya's heart was bitter and helpless, because it would mean that the empire had abandoned the people of the southern Roman province. But in doing so, the Pecos River became a natural barrier for Reese City, giving her more time to prepare.

Willie was one of the last refugees to arrive in Reese before the bridge was demolished. After a rigorous examination, dressed in rags and with a sad expression, he walked into the city of Reese and headed for a military camp.

Under the protection of the veterans, recruit Willy survived and left the town of Sepp. Unable to tell the direction, he had to follow the refugees who went north to Reese City. The baptism of war made this recruit grow up rapidly. After leaving the battlefield, the first thing he thought of was to tell the emperor about the regiment commander's breakthrough, and let them send troops to rescue.

"This brother, I am Willy, a soldier of the 3rd Regiment, and I have an urgent military situation to report to the promotion. ”

"Which of the three regiments?" the guard in front of the barracks asked loudly, glancing at Willy.

"The third division and three regiments of the Fifth Army Corps are stationed in the town of Sep. ”

"What's going on?"

Hughes with a few guards, just after attending the regiment's combat meeting, returned to the camp and saw the scene in front of him, so he asked the camp guards. After returning to the imperial capital, Hughes was unusually promoted to the commander of the second division of the Sixth Army under the aura of heroism, and came to Reese City to take up his post.

"Report to the general, this person claims to be a soldier of the third division and three regiments of the Fifth Army Corps, and has important military reports. ”

"Then come in with me. Hughes paused, then said with a smile.

"I beg the general to report this to the military, and send troops to rescue our regimental commander as soon as possible!" After entering Hughes's tent, Willy briefly reported to him the situation on the battlefield, and then said earnestly.

Hughes sat in the tent, listening to the soldier's report, his expression cloudy.

"Bold! Saipu Town is already over, and Young Master Liuyun has also run away, the military has long known about this matter, you dare to come here to spread rumors!" Suddenly, Hughes was furious, slapped his palm on the table, and pointed at Willy and scolded.

"General, I'm telling the truth!" said Willie, anxiously.

"Even if you are from the third regiment, you are like your regiment commander, and if you run away alone, you will be a bad seed! Drag me out and beat me hard!"

The nurses pounced on him and dragged Willie, who was still arguing, out of the tent.

"Beat him half to death, and then send men to throw him out of the city, and he was not allowed to enter the city again. Hughes commanded in a low voice as the guards left.

"You sons of dogs! Lao Tzu's three regiments fought bloody battles in Saipu Town, and you actually did this to me!"

When the two guards dragged Willy, who was beaten and covered in blood, to the city gate, Willy suddenly cursed loudly.

"How dare you yell and don't think you're hitting hard enough?" said one of the guards with a disdainful laugh.

"Commander, I can't help you, we're abandoned! I knew I would have to suffer such a humiliation when I came back, I might as well die!" Willy sighed as he looked up to the sky.

One of the guards reached out and covered his mouth and kicked him hard.

Willy's scolding attracted some onlookers, and also attracted the attention of the two elf girls who were looking around on the street for news of Liuyun.

The two girls walked towards the guards.

"This military master, what's the matter with this man?" asked a girl sweetly, pointing at Willy.

"Beautiful young lady, this person pretended to be an emperor, spread rumors, and was punished by the general!" the guard looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and replied very gracefully.

"Oh, I heard that he is from the town of Sepp, and my young lady has relatives there, and she is looking around for someone from the town of Sepu to inquire about the news. Can the two military masters make it convenient?"

"I'm sorry, miss, but the general has an order to expel this man from the city. One of the guards replied.

An elf girl walked up to the guard, pulled out a few golden tickets, and quietly stuffed them.

"I won't delay the affairs of the two military masters, just ask about the situation in the town. ”

The two guards looked at each other, then nodded, and dragged Willy with the two girls to an inn not far away.
