Marshal Datong, the Imperial Supreme Treasure Pool, heard the news that the scouts reported that "on both sides of the Boundary Forest, all enemies have been evacuated", and stayed with his teacup for a full minute. At the same time, Regar, the chief magician of the empire sitting on the side, opened his mouth wide, and he didn't even notice that the magic wand he was leaning on next to him had fallen.

Has the enemy fully withdrawn its troops?

How could such a thing happen?

Even if he retreated 10,000 steps, even if the Jielin Theater never brought any unnecessary trouble to the Western Emperor Monarch Group, it was impossible for the hundreds of thousands of troops that had been assembled for nearly a month to withdraw and withdraw.

Put these three, Needless to say, in terms of food, the 300,000 army must be equipped with at least half of the people, nearly 500,000 people, and the horses and cattle used are calculated in 100,000 yuan, and there is no need to go into more than 100,000 miles, and at least three months will consume at least one year's worth of grain accumulated by the Holy See; tents and tents, camps and camps, and more than 400,000 hardwoods will be used up in the camps of more than 100 miles; in order to prevent the Jielin Theater from breaking through to the south and converging with the Tongyunguan Theater, the trenches dug by the people and Zhuangmen are more than 300 miles long in this monthIn the southernmost part, three trenches were dug one after another, more than two zhang deep and three zhang wide.

In such a large-scale war, the gold coins consumed by a fight can fill the camps of the warring parties densely and richly, according to the experience of His Excellency Marshal Chi Datong, the Western Emperor has consumed at least fifteen million funds before.

For the Imperial Army, once such strength is accumulated, even if the sky falls, this war must be fought first. How could it be that the enemy had retreated now?

And in fact, the enemy army that was still fighting in front of the Boundary Forest yesterday did seem to have disappeared like this. Not only did it disappear, but the camp that stretched for dozens of miles did not have time to be completely dismantled, and all kinds of military materials controlled by the state, such as arrow tips, gun handles the thickness of cobblestones, wooden stakes, etc., were thrown everywhere.

"They...... Don't...... But the days?" Lord Nord, the general of the Boundary, muttered in a low voice.

"General, a few days ago I heard a few bards singing, a * division named Zhonghua Yang has discovered an extremely great magic, it seems to be called 'alternate history', it is said that the * division that is more powerful than Zhonghua Yang can teleport a city and a legion back. You say, is it possible that these Fanos soldiers were teleported to wait here to raid us before the war?"

Nord shook his head helplessly, and then smiled at the little staff officer: "Well, I heard that in addition to chanting, being innocently executed is also one of the ways to go back to the past with the highest success rate, so why don't I let you go back and have a look, and then come back and report?"

The officers in the tent burst into laughter. Such a young man...... It's really his grandmother's rich fantasies.

"Lord Marshal, is it that General Amy has made great achievements in the Sanggan River Theater and forced the Western Emperor to ......," Yang Louis, the commander of the Jungle Knight Legion, put forward his opinion.

This is really possible, a month ago, His Excellency Amy, the temporary general of the Northern Theater of Operations, really sent a dragon knight to inform the battle situation, and by the way, he also asked where Miss Lin Yushang went. If nothing else, it is an indisputable fact that part of the elite combat forces of the Northern Theater are fighting with the Sanganhe Theater at this time, and the Sanggan River Theater, as the only inland theater of the empire, ranks first in terms of comprehensive combat power. All the officers of the Jielim Theater believed that His Excellency Amy, who had always been known as a golden brain, would not be stupid enough to go to the city to attack the city, as long as he could find a way to attract the enemy's troops from the city, whether it was a surprise attack or a frontal battle, the soldiers of the Gyeonggi (Northern) Theater would have an absolute advantage.

Marshal Chi Datong thought about it and shook his head slightly.

The current supreme military commander of the Sanggan River is a lackey general with a great reputation! Would Ray Barton be so stupid as to give up the advantage of the city to attack him? This is too much to underestimate the soldier who is known as such a wise general. Although there are not many regular troops in the Sanggan River Theater, the swordsman battalion is not much less than other theaters of the empire, these miscellaneous troops were not trained enough before, and the equipment was relatively poor, they came out to participate in the battle, due to morale and experience and other problems, it was very easy to be defeated by the regular army, but if these swordsman battalions were allowed to hide behind the city wall and throw stones and arrows downwards and pour boiling water, they would not do much worse than the regular army. Coupled with the reserves and other armed forces, no matter how great Amy's ability is, even if there are more dragon knights, it is absolutely impossible to achieve an avalanche-like victory in the short term.

Take a step back, even if the situation in the Sangan River theater has reached an incorrigible point, there must be reinforcements from elite legions, then ...... Why did at least 300,000 troops east of Jielin retreat? Such a force could already defeat the Sanganhe army alone, and there was no reason to leave in such a hurry.

Conspiracy? Trap?

The old marshal had a similar thought in his heart, and then shook his head and denied it.

It's one thing to be reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, but it's another thing entirely to kill the child first and not necessarily be able to trap the wolf. The range of activity of the scouts in the Jielin Theater is 50 miles a day, and now all the scouts who have returned have not seen the opponent's army, that is, the opponent has retreated in a rapid march, and the retreat direction is northeast. What are the pitfalls of this?

"Nord, you arrange a brigade to clean up the battlefield and bring back as many supplies as possible. Run a few more times, don't be greedy and end up getting trapped. ”

"What about you, old man?" Nord hurriedly asked.

"I'll summon the dragon, go see it. ”

Nord thought about it, but still kept some words in his heart. Although the opponent also has dragon knights, however, the marshal's mount dragon is a fifth-order natural dragon, and its flight speed is second only to the wind dragon, even if there are three or four dragon knights who set a trap in the sky, they may not be able to beat, but there must be no problem in running. The marshal is not old enough to fight the enemy, so there is no need to say anything superfluous. After the pressure in the Jielin Theater increased greatly, the second-in-command Dragon Knight Yang Chao General accompanied Prince Tiedu to the southern part of the theater to command the war 10 days ago, otherwise, there would be no need for the marshal to do it himself.

"It's windy in the sky, please be careful. Nord stood up and handed over the marshal's dragon knight cloak.

In the battle, most of the dragon knight's mounts were nearby or even in the barracks, and the dragon flute had just sounded for a few minutes, and the pale blue dragon was wrapped in a drizzle of rain.

The old marshal pulled three times in a row before sitting on the dragon saddle, Nord watched from behind, his nose was slightly sour, and he pushed forward for another thirty years, the dragon was still suspended, and the marshal in his prime pulled the ribbon and sat in the dragon saddle. Right now...... He is already seventy years old...... If Chi Changyun had married early, his great-grandson would have been embraced, and he would have enjoyed the due treatment as the lifelong marshal of the empire.

The dragon's blue wings spread out, and the 19-meter-long dragon body roared into the air as the rain star reversed and flew up, and disappeared into the sky after two breaths.

The years are not forgiving, Chi Datong really felt this sentence, just 10 years ago, he could still see a figure the size of an ant on the ground from the sky, but at this time, it has not yet reached that height, and the following is already blurred. With a sigh in his heart, the dragon knight motioned for the dragon to lower his height.

On the plain of winter words, all the grass and trees are green and yellow, and there has not been a drop of rain for more than 30 days, but the sun is not weaker than in summer, and the half-human-high grass is dry.

Starting from the original enemy barracks, a red bare dirt road more than 50 meters wide stretches to the northeast every few hundred meters, and this effect would not have been achieved without thousands of people walking on it. The red roads converge in the distance in turn, eventually forming a wide road 300 meters wide.

The dragon's wings vibrate frequently......

After more than an hour, the Red Avenue still has no end in sight, and the water dragon has traveled for at least 80 miles in an hour, what is going on? The Holy See troops are retreating in a hurry?

Don't...... Is it the plague?the rebellion?The dragon knight tried to find the right answer.

Hmm? What's that?

A pulsing black dot seemed to flash on the red and yellow earth, and the dragon flew so fast that it disappeared in an instant. The old marshal gave the order, and the dragon let out a long roar of joy, turned around in the air, and swooped back.

The marshal's pale eyebrows gathered little by little...... What is this? What's next?

There seemed to be a white stream of water on the withered yellow grass, and at the front of the water was a small black dot, and the dragon descended lower and lower, and Chi Datong's face became more and more solemn - there seemed to be something moving forward in the grass more than half a man's height, and these things were tall and fast.

The dragon's wings folded and fell like a stone to the ground......

Yes?!

Marshal Chi Datong's face flashed with a hint of surprise, and he fiercely pulled the dragon reins with both hands, and the dragon's wings spread out again, and the landing speed decreased sharply, and then rose rapidly!

In the moment just now, the marshal saw a scene that he had never seen before in his life. That little black dot turned out to be a black flag, which in itself is not surprising, all the flags of the Black Dragon Knights are black as the bottom, but, there is a skeleton on this black flag, and it is not the kind of skeleton that is painted, but a complete human skeleton is hung on the black banner, what makes the marshal can't believe his eyes is that the skeleton actually felt the approach of the dragon, and suddenly raised his head, and the eyes of the black hole stared at the dragon and the dragon knight! A shiny scimitar sheathed out and pointed straight at the dragon knight.

At the same moment, the marshal was even more surprised to find that the white waves in the wild grass were all skeletons...... Hundreds of skeletons!

Who summoned so many skeletons, and what was he going to do?

In the nearly 60 years of military service of Lord Marshal, he did hear of a kind of undead priest who could summon skeletons to help him fight, but ...... The rumored time, place, and people are at least 500 years old from this time. Don't...... These legendary undead priests all ended up taking refuge in the continent of Phanos?

Come to think of it, these skeletons can't defeat the dragon knight. Also, is it that you are dizzy from old age? The marshal took a deep breath and decided to go a little lower and take a closer look.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind in the sky on the south side!

Huh? Dragon...... And the Dragon Knight......

What the hell is the opponent doing? The marshal muttered in his heart, casually pulled down the mask, took off the dragon spear, hung it on the dragon's back, and pointed the red spear at the dragon knight approaching from his retreat: "The ancient covenant bestows us with sacred honor, fight, Lord Mengdkaner!"
