"Sorry, there's something delaying on the way!"

Zhao Hao showed an embarrassed but polite expression towards the envoy who greeted him.

Even if it's because you don't care at all, you can't show it.

Truth be told, if the Storm Legion marched at full speed, it would save at least half the time.

But they are completely touristic along the way.

"It's okay, Your Excellency the Baron can arrive!"

This young envoy has no arrogance in his bones when facing the player.

Now that the Bucks Principality is facing annihilation, it is naturally not arrogant.

First come to the cantonment.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Storm Legion to enter the royal capital.

In other words, the legions were not allowed to enter the city except in times of war.

Zhao Hao only brought Feida and Freya, the two double safflower stick thugs.

Memphira and Ellie were in charge of the legion's stationing.

The Green Legion and the Viking Warrior Legion, the two subordinate units of the Storm Legion, also followed, and were responsible for the logistics of the Storm Legion.

In the last battle, the two legions have been following behind to harvest, which can be said to have gained a lot of experience.

The Green Field Legion is a long-range unit, and the Viking warriors are fully armored, plus they are not on the front line, so the losses are not much, and the total has just broken through the triple digits, which is not worth mentioning at all compared to the results achieved.

Without the armor, the number of Viking warriors would never have been less than a third.

It can only be said that for flesh and blood troops, weapons and equipment are extremely important.

The process of entering the royal capital was very smooth, and there was no such thing as inspection at all.

There is no way, now Zhao Hao's identity is different from before.

In the past, he was just an independent lord with the name of 'Baron Stag', and this kind of person was not a thousand but eight hundred in the principality.

But now that the Storm Legion has made a name for itself, and its combat effectiveness is comparable to or even stronger than that of the Ace Legion, then its status will naturally be greatly improved.

Who would dare to treat him like an 'ordinary baron' now?

Strength = Power!

In the world of heroes, these two things can be equated.

After entering the royal capital, Zhao Hao was taken to the command headquarters.

No way, there's no time for a welcome party or anything like that.

Headquarters!

A castle-like building located not far from the royal palace.

The guards guarding outside are all strong and well-equipped warriors, at least they start at the elite level, and there is no shortage of strong people above the transcendent level.

"Is something wrong?"

Zhao Hao asked the little noble envoy who was leading the way.

Judging from the nervous posture of these guards, it means that something is wrong.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so nervous.

Hearing the inquiry, the envoy looked around cautiously before turning his head and whispering:

"A few days ago, there were quite a few lizardman assassins who infiltrated Hong Cleist, causing a lot of confusion, and I heard that they have a special camouflage ability that allows them to approach incognito!"

The news was not a secret, so he dared to say it.

Lizardman Assassin!

Well, that's not something strange.

Because the lizardmen have some special talents in this race, they can use their camouflage ability to achieve the effect of 'stealth'.

Because it's a racial talent and not a spell, it won't be discovered by all kinds of enchantments.

If you can't catch off guard, it's not surprising that you will be made a big fuss by the other party directly.

Although it is possible that the Bucks Principality knows this ability of the lizardmen, but the other party was a nominal 'ally' before, so it is naturally impossible to target, so it will suffer, and now it should be arranged.

The two talked and entered the command.

Freya and Fida, on the other hand, followed.

By communicating with the other party, Zhao Hao also figured out the current situation.

That is, the situation in the Bucks Principality is very bad now!

Once the northern defense line collapses, then the swamp army can completely cross the royal capital and wreak havoc on the entire principality.

Because the royal capital is not a key node, there are routes that want to bypass.

And because of the large number of rivers within the principality, the swamp army can use it to provide food and march.

Especially the Ultimate Hydra!

It's an amphibious swamp creature.

As for the dangerous creatures in the river?

For the ultimate hydra, it's a delicious snack.

In contrast to the dangerous and deadly swamps, the river is the rhythm of the 'safe zone'.

Even Zhao Hao didn't expect that Greenham's offensive would be so terrifying.

Because in his impression, the opponent's attack was easily defeated this time, and he has been shrinking in the swamp since then.

But this time it was different, the strength and results of the dispatch were far from what I remembered.

With such a strong fortress camp, even he couldn't believe it.

It didn't take long for them to enter the command hall, and the noise was overwhelming.

"Let the Fifteenth Legion go up, as long as they don't die, they must hold it!"

"What, the logistics unit was attacked, how is the escort unit still alive?"

"Let the Antlers go out immediately, it's too late if you don't do it!"

…

The voices in the hall mingled, as if they were louder than their voices.

In the middle is a giant sand table tens of meters long and more than ten meters wide, and on the walls are various data lists and maps.

A large number of documents, tables and chairs fill most of the space.

A figure carrying a document in and out seems to be a rushing river.

The situation of the war can be seen on the sand table, because all the information will be marked on it, so that people can see it at a glance.

Of course, the prerequisite is to know how to discern what these markers represent.

And Zhao Hao naturally knew these signs, so he could see at a glance that the northern defense line was precarious at this time, not only could it not withstand the front, but there was also a swamp army around the rear ready to attack.

As for how to get around to the back?.

It's either the air or the river, so there's no need to guess at all.

Among the swamp flying creatures, there is an ace creature called the 'Green Duck'.

Although the opponent's combat effectiveness is not very good, but the transportation ability is extraordinary, and the fortress swamp has the profession of 'animal tamer', which can completely control the flying dragon to transport.

In addition to the fact that the Wyvern can be transported from the air, it can also bypass the defense line from the river.

The Bucks Principality has not experienced a war for a long time, and it is strange to suddenly deal with the fortress camp that has rarely fought before, and not to be beaten without being familiar with the opponent's style.

Soon, Zhao Hao and the others were taken to a room in the corner of the hall.

Knock, knock!

After knocking on the door to obtain permission, the young envoy opened the door and made a gesture of please.

Zhao Hao and the others stepped in, but the other party closed the door and did not follow in.

Obviously, not everyone is qualified to enter this office, at least not the envoy who led the way.

And in this small room with a small area and a map on the wall, Zhao Hao saw two people, and they were both acquaintances.

The old man sitting behind the desk, with a strong momentum and eagle eyes, was none other than the Duke Barlouf, whom he had seen at the manor banquet before.

The other one is more familiar.

Remember how he joined the Bucks Duchy?

Barr. Stag. Tange!

It was precisely because he defeated the three princes of the Buck Principality at sea and reached an 'alliance under the city' with the other party, and with the help of the opponent's energy, he joined the Buck Principality and won the title of baron.

In everyone's eyes, the Storm Leader belongs to the other party's forces, so meeting each other here is both accidental and inevitable.
