Chapter 41: The Pursuers

Beechcraft Chinese permanent website, please keep in mind!

The procession of the Istalen exiles set out from the town of Lille and headed west along the border between Istalen and Sarin. Chinese The refugees have accumulated valuable experience from their past journeys, and this time they are prepared to embark on the journey, and the efficiency and order of the operation have been significantly improved.

According to the original plan of the Exiles Conference, the exiles would walk along the border for five days and then enter the brownland hills. But after receiving Lolana's report, Tiana immediately gave the order to start speeding up. Mercenaries, who excelled in traveling and exploring, were still in charge of finding their way ahead, while the assembled Isttalon troops were in charge of the rear.

Due to some instinctive sensitivity, Tiana considered moving her troops to the flanks of the exiles' convoy for alerting, but El was not there, and she was a little constrained in wanting to move her troops directly.

El is the nominal supreme commander of the Istaron forces, while Palanti is the last bloodline heir of the White Lion family, and the two of them can be said to be the soul of this army. Neither of them, however, was a qualified commander, and most of the time, it was the experienced Ahmed who was really in charge of military affairs.

Ahmed usually keeps a low profile, and after taking a back seat from the position of the leader of the Mountain Hunter Brigade, he follows El and hardly participates in the discussion of meetings, and has no sense of existence at all. Although she knows his true strength, Tiana has no more trust in him than the newcomer Renard, and still maintains the level of etiquette.

However, now that the situation is tense, Tiana doesn't know when El will be able to return, and she has to let down her guard and communicate with Ahmed just in case. After some candid exchanges, she found that the former captain was not actually a dull person, or should it be the other way around, not only experienced but also calm, more reliable in every way than the two bear children of El and Palanti, and the former captain of the hunter team of Isttalon was not in vain.

It's just that the gods are chattering about superstitions all day long, and this superstition is a bit of a headache.

When camping in the evening, Tiana approached Ahmed and wanted to discuss with him the issue of strengthening the defense of the troops, but Ahmed agreed to come down.

"I have told my brothers to be on guard, Miss Lanstadt. Ahmed said with a calm face: "At the beginning of the march, the commander left the camp, which is not a good sign, and it is always a bad thing to be careful." ”

"You are doing a great job, Mr. Ahmed. 【Beechcraft Chinese Network Debut】" Tiana nodded and said, "Although I don't want to say this, please be prepared that they can't come back." ”

"They'll be back. Ahmed said with great certainty: "I just asked Master Apache for divination......"

Tiana turned her head away, resisting the urge to roll her eyes and not continue with the delicate topic. There were other, more reliable ways to find out what was going on in El, such as the parchment of the newsletter with only one chance left to get in touch, and she decided to use it as soon as she returned.

For El's willfulness, Tiana can understand but can't accept it. It was obvious that the living were more important than the dead, but she also knew that El was not the kind of hero who was righteous and awe-inspiring. There is no point in telling him big things or blaming him, and you can only convince him with emotion.

That night, Tiana hesitated for a long time in the candlelight, and finally wrote only one sentence on parchment:

"I need you. ”

There was no reply on the parchment for a long time, which made Tiana's heart sink for a long time. Although she didn't want to speculate, it was likely that things were sliding in the way she didn't want to see. At dawn, sirens sounded through the camp, waking all the exiles from their dreams.

The Istalon Army's Night's Watch was far more competent than their counterparts in the Southern Army, and the military discipline included a well-established vigil rotation system that allowed them to get adequate rest and early warning capabilities. The soldiers on the last shift remained at their posts until after dawn, and only then did they keenly spot the enemy's tracks.

The Southern Army, under the banner of the Kemal family, appeared in the col behind the exiles, who seemed to have just arrived after a night march, and did not even take the necessary cover. When they heard the sirens in the camp, they also knew that they had been spotted, so they stopped out of sight.

"Is Delaire going to turn his face, but what's the interest in biting us?" Tiana frowned as she stepped over the makeshift line of the Istalon warriors, looking at the valley in the distance. Behind her, the mid-level commanders such as Renard, Allet, and Timmy had already rushed over, and they glanced at each other, their faces a little delicate. The current Isttalon army is actually a combination of three forces, and it has not yet had time to reorganize, let alone tacit cooperation.

Although El never took his status as a general seriously, the estrangement between several mid-level officers was exposed in his absence. However, fortunately, there was still a strong man with old qualifications in the army, which barely suppressed the hidden danger of the conflict.

Just as El doesn't understand politics, so does Tiana have a hard time understanding the rules of the game for military people. Although she also vaguely felt the undercurrent surging behind her, she didn't have a solution to it. Now, however, the problem of external troubles is even more serious than internal troubles -- after a short pause, the Southern Army, which had caught up, once again marched forward, and brazenly put on an offensive formation.

"Attack, attack, rob me of the woman and the treasure!" cried Grande, riding his horse as he rode to and fro his ranks, and cried impatiently. He had seen the army of exiles, and sure enough, as he had received from the information, the once invincible Istalon had become a disgraced reservoir dog.

For well-known purposes, Grande has been persistently planting nails under Delare's men over the years, although he has to admit that Delaere has the strength commensurate with his heir's status, but the sky is unpredictable, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents in this chaotic year.

This time, the news from the inside line made Grande crazy. The elder brother, who had always claimed to be a genius, was so dazzled by the Miss Lanstadt that he did such an unwise thing, and actually let the refugee team live under the bewilderment of beauty and money?

If you can stop this team, then you won't be left to your own needs? Since the elder brother is embarrassed to do it, then let yourself be the brother's agent!

"That shouldn't be the Third Legion that we've fought against. Ahmed narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully for a moment, and came to a positive conclusion. As a silver-ranked archer, his eyesight is second only to El's in the army, and if you only know about the army, he even surpasses it.

"Maybe the other units of the Kemal family heard the news and wanted to come over and make some profits?" Reynard, who was more familiar with the Southern Army, guessed with some uncertainty.

"De Laere understands our combat strength, he shouldn't act rashly, so ......" Tiana snorted coldly as she looked at the approaching Southern Army in the distance, "The commander of this army must be a not very likable guy, and stupid enough, stupid and outrageous." ”

"Charge, charge, surround those Istalen, stop their wagons, don't let them escape!" As soon as Tiana's words fell, a hearty shout was heard from the opposite side, and the pace of the Southern Army suddenly quickened a lot.

"It's really not an ordinary stupid ......" Ahmed couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the attack array in front of him that was gradually breaking down due to the accelerated speed.

As long as the army generals with a little common sense, even if they were deceived and fooled before, they should be able to sober up at this time. Although the exiles were all refugees, they did not panic when they heard the alarm, but organized their bags in an orderly manner.

Although they had some opinions about their own army, the refugees never had doubts about the effectiveness of the army, a self-confidence that the Isttalen had cultivated over the centuries.

In the course of the advance of the Southern Army, the soldiers of Isttalon had already built a simple defensive front in the shortest possible time. After the replenishment of the troops of Heguguan and the Locke family, the problem of tension in the troops has been greatly alleviated, and after the food problem is solved, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the original unit has also been completely restored.

On the other hand, the southern army on the opposite side, not to mention factors such as weaponry and morale, the sparse and uneven number of people alone does not look like the establishment of the legion, and according to the comparison of the actual combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides, they have almost no advantage.

But...... Grande didn't even notice the obvious problems, his eyes fixed on the long rolling carriages of the camp. No matter what goods those wagons were carrying, the amount alone showed that it was worth a lot.

Under the constraints of the Kemal family's impersonal family system, Grande, who has no heir status, has less than any resources tilted. His eyes were red now, and like a mad dog, he would pounce on anything profitable and take a bite, not caring even if it was poison.

For such a pure person, Ahmed was also a little helpless, he turned his head to look at Tiana, and looked for a solution with his eyes.

"If you dare to come, don't leave, let's stay, lest people think that we are really fat meat that can be eaten casually. Tiana said expressionlessly: "Don't worry about the revenge of the Kemal family, all the responsibility is borne by me." ”

"The Isttalon warriors never 'feared' the enemy's reprisals. Ahmed chuckled, unleashed his cloak, flipped his wrist and pulled out his small short bow, aiming it far away at the head of the enemy commander.
