Before noon, Mavi took Yunia with him and set off with Dino.

In addition to some necessary food and drinking water, he also brought with him two tall and lanky young men, one named Kovalev and the other Rusov, both new members of the Church of Truth.

The news of the departure of Ma Wei and the others from Tyumen City soon reached the ears of Archbishop Henry, and after hearing the news, Archbishop Henry was not only overjoyed, but his heart was solemn and he raised his vigilance.

He didn't think that Ma Wei would leave Tyumen at this juncture, and if he had to leave, something big must have happened.

And the direction in which Ma Wei left happened to be the front line.

Could it be that something is wrong at the front?

Katerina can't cope with the enemy and urgently asks Mavi for help?

No....

Archbishop Henry thought about it and felt that this possibility was very low, if the battle on the front line was unfavorable, he should receive the news as soon as possible, not to mention that Katerina had only been gone for a few days, and the enemy and us were still in the confrontation period, so it was too early to ask for help?

Think about it....

Archbishop Henry thought that the only possibility, I was afraid that Ma Wei had received some gossip, so he hurried to the front.

But isn't he afraid of himself?

Filled with doubts, Archbishop Henry approached Paul I and told him about Mavi's hasty departure from Tyumen.

"Mavi Enders gone?"

Paul I was stunned at first, and then overjoyed: "This is a great time!" Now that the Church of Truth is extremely empty, we can take this opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop! In this way, Katerina will no longer be able to make any waves! ”

"The strange place is here." Archbishop Henry was not in a hurry, and said in a calm voice: "Mavi Enders was born in poverty, his parents were originally servants of Duke Crowley's family, and he died during the Great Famine, he was favored by Duke Crowley, and was selected as Tourey Crowley's entourage and boarded a privateer. ”

"During the years he was on the ship, he performed well, accumulated a lot of credit, and even saved Toure Crowley once, and as a token of gratitude, the Duke of Crowley not only gave him freedom, but also officially made him a member of the Royal Navy, and it didn't take long for him to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant..."

"Three years ago, at the Battle of Perea, after Toure Crowley fell into the sea, it was he who led the fleet to launch a counteroffensive, saving the face of the Royal Navy, and finally awarding the Royal Badge of Honor, and if he had not chosen to retire, he would have at least become a Captain by now..."

Paul I looked at Archbishop Henry puzzled: "I know what you said, is there any problem?" ”

"I say this just to tell Your Majesty that Mavi Enders is actually a very ruthless person, and you can't underestimate him." Archbishop Henry said: "A man like him, who climbs step by step from the bottom, is the most terrible, his feet are full of bones, and it is ridiculous for such a man to become a priest.... But it also shows that he has bigger ambitions lurking. ”

"You mean, Mavi Enders knew that the gods would come in three years, so he chose to start the Church of Truth?"

"I don't know about that, the reason for his retirement is not clearly documented." Archbishop Henry hesitated: "He is very calculating and scheming, and there must be an important reason for his sudden departure from Tyumen City at such a critical time, either the situation is serious enough for him to abandon the fledgling Church of Truth, or he has the audacity to conclude that we dare not do it." ”

"What makes us so scared that we don't dare to do it?"

Paul I sneered disapprovingly, and was just about to speak, when his body shook and realized something: "You just said where he went?" ”

"The direction of the front."

With a 'groan' in his heart, Paul I got up with Kolulu in his arms, came to the map, and stared at the Ural Mountains, his face gradually becoming solemn.

According to the normal situation, Mavi, who had already delivered the first friars, did not need to go to the front at all, and even Paul I was convinced that Katerina would be able to retake Chelyabinsk.

If so, why did Mavi go to the front?

There is only one answer, the front line encounters a danger that Katerina cannot solve, or....

Danger is on its way.

"The Barbarossa Empire... The only one who could pose a threat to us is the Barbarossa Empire, but under the rule of the Cult of Wisdom, it is impossible for him to attack us..."

With a whisper, Paul I shifted his gaze to the left and looked at the kingdom of Frederick, which bordered the Barbarossa Empire.

In addition to the Barbarossa Empire, only the Frederick Kingdom is currently in a position to attack, and it is impossible for other kingdoms to cross the Barbarossa Empire or the Frederick Kingdom....

Excluding all the impossible, the rest is the truth, no matter how bizarre it is.

Paul I swallowed, licked his dry lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Archbishop Henry, what do you think..... What is the Kingdom of Frederick doing now? ”

"They are attacking the Popon Kingdom, and the Barbarossa Empire is attacking them."

"Do they still have the strength to attack the Romanov Kingdom?"

“.......”

Archbishop Henry was silent, he could not answer this point, he had thought it impossible before, but now Mavi's sudden departure from Tyumen made him doubt the intentions of the Kingdom of Frederick.

"The Kingdom of Frederick has signed a treaty of friendship and non-aggression with us....

Paul I said with a pale face: "Our two countries often marry, and my mother and Katerina's mother are the princesses of Frederick's kingdom, have they really torn the treaty and launched an attack on us?" No... No way! Prime Minister Bismarck's policy was to reconcile with the Romanov kingdom! The kingdom of Frederick will never attack us! ”

"Your Majesty, all marriages are just a façade, and the war that should be waged will never be quelled because a certain king marries a certain princess, at most it will be delayed, and what should come will always come." Archbishop Henry's face was also not good-looking, and for the first time he felt that he was lagging behind.

"What are we going to do? Sending more troops to the front? But we don't have any troops to support the front line.... Conscription... Yes, conscription is necessary! ”

Looking at Paul I, who was a little flustered and overwhelmed, Archbishop Henry did not disdain, because he knew what it meant for the kingdom of Frederick to start a war at this point in time.

"Your Majesty, it's too late to conscript, and now it will take at least a month to support the front, and by then the campaign in the Ural Mountains will be over a long time ago." Archbishop Henry said in a deep voice, "We should now send forces that can influence the tide of the battle to the front, like Mavi Enders. ”

Paul I turned his head and looked at Archbishop Henry in a daze: "Are you going to the front?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we must guard against the attack of Frederick's kingdom, and it is best for me to go to the front line at the moment."

....................................

"Phew!"

At dusk, Onufri spat viciously on the ground, and the sound of the shelling, which lasted for an hour, almost deafened his ears from the afternoon to the evening.

It was a pot of steel broth, and Katerina pulled all the artillery she could at her disposal onto the battlefield, aiming at the barbed wire outside the city, and she had to blast a gap.

The thick smoke obscured everyone's vision, and it would take a while for Onufri to clench his binoculars, and he was in a state of great trepidation.

He hoped that the shelling would work, opening a route for attacking Chelyabinsk, and then he would be able to charge with the cavalry.

Ten minutes later, a cold wind blew, and the smoke on the battlefield quickly dissipated, Onufri immediately raised his binoculars and began to observe the enemy line.

Under the dim sky, a ray of sunlight shone into the smoke that slowly dispersed, revealing the large craters left by one cannonball after another.

Onufri's heart sank.

On the position full of large pits, he saw countless crooked barbed wire, and the shelling did work, but it only disrupted the regular layout of the barbed wire, and did not completely destroy them.

He even saw the enemy soldiers in the city smiling playfully, sipping tin pots of tea while laughing at the uselessness of their work.

"Made!"

Onufri scolded, his chest rose and fell violently, his face turned pale with anger, he had fought all his life, he had enjoyed it, but he had not experienced this kind of sulking.

The other party is a group of shameless shrunken turtles!

After sulking for a while, Onufri became frustrated again, the other party was indeed a turtle with a shrunken head, but I have to admit that this tactic was effective and successfully blocked the pace of their attack....

"General!" One of the adjutant pointed to the barbed wire position ahead and said, "Look, there seems to be a gap!" ”

Onufri hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by the adjutant, and sure enough, he found a small gap at the edge of the barbed wire position, and not only that, but the back of several barbed wire defense lines had more or less similar flaws.

But....

What's the use of that?

A gap that can only accommodate the passage of one or two people at the same time is of no use to the cavalry at all!

Extremely disappointed, he found Katerina, who was watching on the hillside, and told his discovery.

"Is there a gap?"

"There is.... However, it can only accommodate one or two people at the same time, and our fast horses still can't rush up. ”

Her dark blue eyes narrowed, and Katerina said thoughtfully, "That's enough." ”

Onufri raised his head: "What did you say, Your Highness?" ”

"Write down the location of the gap, tonight, count 500 people, each armed with a SA-60 repeating rifle, two revolvers, a number of bullets, surprise attack on Chelyabinsk!"

"Understood!" Onufri's eyes lit up, and he was just about to arrange the order, when he suddenly thought of something: "Your Highness, who will lead the team?" Why don't you let me get on it, even though I'm a cavalryman, even without horses, cavalry can run faster than infantry! ”

"I've already decided on who will lead the team."

Katerina turned around and walked towards the temporary command post, and Onufri followed behind, asking curiously, "Your Highness, who did you choose?" ”

"Me."
