Chapter 284 [Dealing with knives and guns, the Corsican Military Region is adjacent to Syltan County, which was divided from the original imperial administrative division into the Tema Military Region about eighty years ago. The first governor of the military district, Juan, Carlos, was once a famous fierce general of the empire at that time. He has experienced two wars with the Odin, and has made outstanding achievements.

At that time, the Tema Military Region system had only been formulated for many years, and the system had not yet collapsed, and the whole empire believed that this was a good strategy to resist the invasion of the Odins. Large-scale division of military districts in the north of the empire.

General Juan Carlos accumulated meritorious service and was made governor of the Corsican Military District.

Since then, Corsica has become a military district, and it has never been owned by the imperial family again, and has been more than ~ten years.

Today, the Carlos family has occupied the Corsican Military Region for three generations, and the first Governor-General of the Military Region, Juan Carlos, has long since passed away. The present Viceroy Sicinio Carlos is forty-one years old, in the prime of life, but ten years ago he suffered a serious illness, which caused him to collapse and be bedridden for many years, and his two sons were in charge of all the political and military affairs of the military district. The eldest son, Cardoso, was in charge, and the second son, Gaia, was in charge of the army.

Originally, the family of the governor of the military region was an actual warlord, and naturally attached the most importance to military power, but the Carros family, but the second son was in charge of the army, so naturally there was a hidden danger of seizing the heir. However, the governor of Sisinio liked the second son more than the eldest son, and handed over the military power to the younger son in his early years, and the eldest son was helpless.

The Corsican Military Region was adjacent to the county of Siltan, which was originally the location of the Seventh Corps, and the Empire set up this central standing corps here, firstly, to defend the northern territory of the Empire, and secondly, to supervise the movements of the surrounding Tema Military Region.

But with the entry of the Odin, the total annihilation of the Seventh Corps, and the occupation of Sirtan County, the Corsican Military Region naturally had no constraints, as early as the time of the war in Osgilia, the Corsican Military Region was the first to issue an announcement in response.

The Corsican Military District is also a stalwart member of the "Red Round Table", the entire Corsican Military District, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and close to the northern grain-producing regions, has a standing strength of more than 20,000, the size of a fully formed corps. At the outbreak of the war, Gaia, the second son of the governor, issued a mobilization order, and recruited another corps in one go, with a total strength of more than 40,000.

Originally, the eldest son Cardoso was not very happy, but seeing that the Seventh Corps was annihilated by the Odin in an instant, the combat effectiveness of the Red Snow Army of the Odin was so amazing! And these fierce guys, the rebels were in the neighboring county, and tens of thousands of Odin people were entrenched at the doorstep, which also made the Carlos family feel a little uneasy. After all, although there is a secret covenant, but the Odin people are fierce and arrogant by nature, who can guarantee that these red-eyed Odin robbers will not be greedy and come across the border?

Gaia, the second son of the governor in charge of the army, was quite heroic, and strongly advocated the border of the army to guard against the Odin. But the old governor and the eldest son strongly advocated Huairou. Thinking that at this time, there can be no over-the-top reaction, but it angered the Odin people and gave the Odin people an excuse to violate.

Although Gaia is dissatisfied, although he is in charge of the army, he is only a second son after all, and the old governor has been ill for many years, and he still has some influence, and he can't disobey his father's will.

After the old governor and his eldest son Cardoso defeated the Seventh Corps of the Red Snow Army, they successively sent two groups of people to Siltan County to meet with Manninger, the commander of the Red Snow Army, and also sent a large number of cattle, sheep, grain and grass, in the name of rewarding Odin's army, trying to appease these fierce Odin bandits in such a gentle way.

Manninger had just pacified the county of Siltan, and although he coveted the wealth of the Byzantines, he was unable to do anything else during the rainy season, and the two sides had a covenant, so he happily accepted these generous gifts.

For a time, the tense atmosphere between the two sides was greatly eased, and there was quite a posture of brothers and family.

The Rollo River is a river that runs through the Corsican region and the county of Siltan, and the upper reaches of the Rollo River are the border of the two regions, the population of Rollo was originally small, only less than 2,000 inhabitants, relying on the fertile land of the riverside plain, and the agriculture is developed.

After the outbreak of the war, the Corsican Military Region originally stationed two flag regiments on the border with Siltan to maintain pressure on the Seventh Corps, but after the Seventh Corps was annihilated, in order to "take into account the overall situation" and win the trust of the Odin, they instead withdrew the two flag regiments.

Because of the importance of geographical location, Luo Luocai is located in the upper plain of the river, surrounded by radiation grain production areas, and it is the end of spring ploughing, in order to ensure that there are no accidents in grain production, so the Corsican Military Region still left a battalion of troops stationed here, and at the same time, there is also a baggage transport team stationed in the surrounding area less than 20 miles.

Originally, after receiving the reward materials sent by Corsica, the Odin people also relaxed their defense of the border on both sides, and Manninger was still trustworthy, restraining the warriors in the tribe, and strictly ordered his subordinates not to cross the river into the Corsican military region, so as to avoid any accidents and frictions.

After nearly a month, the two sides were at peace, and gradually everyone relaxed, and even every day when the defenders of Luo Luo Feedli patrolled along the riverside, the Odin warriors who were taking water from across the river waved hello. In addition, when the weather is fine, the two sides send people to wade across the river and barter for trade.

This night, but there is something special, the rainy season has obviously ended, but this day from the afternoon, there is a large dark cloud in the north, the sky is also soon darkened, the weather is hot and humid, but the rain has never fallen, but the cloud seems to be getting lower and lower, and the sky is dark very early.

By the time it was time for dinner, it was completely dark, and the birds and clouds had obscured the starlight and moonlight in the sky.

The army garrison stationed at the west end of the town of Rollo had already rested early, and except for the soldiers who were still patrolling the baby, they only heard gusts of wind passing through the streets of the shovel, blowing the curtains of some houses on both sides of the street.

In the middle of the night, the defenders were already slack and tired, but suddenly they heard a noisy sound in the east of the baby, and the sound came from afar, as if it was mixed with the movement of the Jin Ge fight, and there were faint screams.

Soon, in the darkness of the night, the sound of hurried hooves swept through the streets of the town like the wind. Some of the inhabitants of the feeder were awakened, and some of them were bolder, and quietly opened the windows to peek out, but they saw a group of people galloping down the town under the cover of night, and in the darkness, I don't know how many of them, but I felt that the mounts of these fellows were running, and the sound of hooves was dull, and the silhouette of the shadows that fell on the eyes did not look like horses, and those mounts had horns on their heads.

These people rushed into the baby at a gallop, and without stopping in the lock, they went directly to the garrison of the defenders to the west and killed them. Seeing a heavy weapon such as a snowy tomahawk and a hammer, he smashed the heads of the oncoming patrol soldiers into shreds, and the rest of the people rushed to collapse in the dark night, and before they could turn around and flee for their lives, they were trampled into flesh by the cavalry who swarmed and chased after them, and the torches in the hands of the patrol soldiers fell to the ground, and by the light of the fire, they saw these cavalry suddenly falling from the sky, everyone rode a majestic reindeer with firstborn feet and markings! The riders on the horses were all burly and majestic, wearing short jackets, and the weapons in their hands were all heavy guys such as tomahawks, machetes, and hammers, and only a few were wearing iron armor, and most of them were using leather armor as armor.

The short sound of the fight was quickly drowned out by the sound of hooves, and the group swept like a dark cloud towards the defenders' garrison to the west of Wazi.

There are really no defensive fortifications in this station, but there is a slightly higher slope at the west end of the baby, the garrison is barely stationed here, and some simple sheds have been built, in order to save trouble, not even the walled wall has been done, only some baggage wagons are used to surround it, barely counted as a walled wall, one by one can be imagined, a battalion of only about 300 people, what strong fortifications can be built When the sneak attackers rushed to the front of the station, many soldiers had not yet run out of the shed, even those guarding the door were obviously panicked。 There was no gate at all, but two big tree poles were cut and a partition beam was made, and the reindeer galloped over, and the rider controlled the mount lightly, and jumped over with a slight leap, and when he landed, the rider on the back of the reindeer dropped the axe and cut off the head of the gatekeeper with a light and skillful hand.

Finally, when almost half of the brigade had rushed into the garrison, there were bursts of shouts from the camp.

"Enemy Death!!"

"Odin!Odin's coming!!"

This short shout was quickly drowned out by the firelight and the sound of shouting for killing...... There was a lot of food hoarded in the station, and they were all going to be sent from here by convoys in the next two days, and most of the three hundred defenders were killed, and a few escaped with their lives, so they fled in all directions.

These guys who attacked at night did not pursue, but after killing the defenders, they immediately began to carry food.

Most of this food has already been loaded into trucks, and they can walk with only the animals that pull the carts. The hundreds of reindeer cavalry began to retreat with dozens of carts of grain, and while it was nightfall, some people could see clearly, but they were heading in the direction of the river.

There was no large army of the Corsican Military Region near the town of Rollo, only a heavy transport battalion was stationed less than twenty miles away, and the defeated soldiers of Rollo fled there, and this transport baggage battalion got the news, but where did they dare to go to the rescue, but they only ordered to guard the camp gate, and panicked all night, until dawn, seeing that the Odin did not kill, this was barely reassured.

By the afternoon of the next day, hundreds of cavalry from the Corsican Military Region had come to the rescue from a small town fifty miles away, but by the time they came to Lorro's feed, the barracks had been destroyed, the grain had been carried out, and everything that had not had time to be moved was burned.

After questioning some of the routs who escaped with their lives, they all identified the other party as Odin.

The reindeer were ridden, and all of those warriors were fierce and strong, burly, and they were all wearing Odin's fur coats and skins, and the weapons in their hands were also the heavy weapons used by the Odins.

The most important thing is that at night, when someone saw these guys after the robbery, they retreated in the direction of the river, and the army that came to the rescue knew that the matter was very important, and did not dare to make an arbitrary decision, so they hurriedly reported the matter to the top.

This kind of military situation, even if it is urgent, by the time it is reported to the Governor's Palace, it will already be another day.

And that very night, on the banks of the lower reaches of the Rollo River, a city called Li'an, was also robbed by √the Odins.

The news that came out of the newspaper was almost identical.

At night, the Odin cavalry did not know what method was used, after opening the city gate, a group of people forcibly rushed into the city, and after setting a few fires in the city, they rushed into the city's government office, not only slaughtering the administrative officials, but also carrying all the tax and ruthenium money stored in the government office for this spring.

There were originally 500 defenders stationed outside the city, but these 500 defenders were all infantry, and by the time the defenders organized their forces to arrive, these Odinites had already finished their belongings and left the city. These Odin people are very murderous wives, and after leaving the city, seeing that Lean's garrison was chasing after them, they simply turned around and killed them.

Poor Lean's defenders were all infantry, and they hurried to the rescue when they got the news at night, and they didn't bring any heavy weapons at all, and it was a field battle, where was the opponent of the cavalry? It was crushed in less than a moment, and this group of Odin cavalry was even more arrogant and domineering, so they chased the defeated defenders and fought for a full circle around the city of Lean, only to kill the Li'an defenders who could not form an army, and the remaining five hundred defenders were less than one, so they swaggered away, and before leaving, they also put a fire under the city gate.

This news was soon sent to the governor's palace of the Corsican Military Region, and it immediately caused an uproar, especially the second son of the governor, Gaia, who was immediately furious, smashed the table on the spot, and scolded: "The Odin people are too arrogant! We blindly tolerated and sent a large sum of gold, silver, grain and grass, they were not greedy enough, and they actually came to rob us and kill our sergeant!!"

As he spoke, he said angrily to his brother who was sitting on it, "It's not all your idea, these Odin people have to inch in, we showed weakness a few days ago, but they thought we were easy to bully, this is really rushing to the door!"

The eldest son Cardoso is also angry, but he is even more angry, because it is his idea to live in harmony with Odin, but at this moment, the Odin people treacherously crossed the border, and immediately felt as if they had been slapped in the face. He suppressed his anger, but he couldn't weaken his momentum in front of this younger brother, let alone admit his mistakes, but he just kept silent.

"I'm going to gather the army and personally lead the troops to the Luoluo River!" Gaia was about to go out when Cardoso finally shouted, "Stop!"

"What?" Gaia turned her head with a fierce expression on her face.

"The strategy of reconciliation with Odin was set by your father, do you want to rebel against your father's ideas?" Cardoso said coldly: "Father is still sick, brother, you are not allowed to mess around!"

After a pause, he said, "Send a clever man to Syltan to meet the leader of the Odin people to ask for their guilt, this time they broke the contract first, see what they have to say." ”

Although Gaia was angry in his heart, he was also very dissatisfied with his brother, but after all, he was not a governor, and although his father was sick, he was still the lord of Corsica after all, so he could only hold back his anger: "Okay! I want to see what these Odin people can say!"

Here in the Corsican region, Cardoso, after consulting with the old governor, sent two capable and clever men to the county of Siltan and met with Ninger.

Manninger read a letter of reproach written by the old governor of Karros, and was slightly puzzled, but then the thought in his heart changed to think that his soldiers stationed on the banks of the Rollo River had done it on their own initiative.

He was the patriarch of the Bashak tribe, so he naturally knew the temperament of these boys under his command. These days to invade Byzantium, all the way is more than smooth, easily killed the Byzantine Seventh Corps, but also occupied two counties of the flower world, the land here is fertile, the Byzantines are rich, copied a lot of rich nobles' homes, but also copied a lot of gold and silver treasures, the whole army is a great harvest, I just feel that there is no better object in the world than these Byzantine sheep to bully.

A few days ago, he received the reward materials sent by the Corsican side, although he also ordered that the people under his command were not allowed to cross the border to make trouble, but these guys under his command are not inferior on weekdays, maybe they are the boys along the way, looking at the rich Corsican military region on the other side, and under the red eyes, it is not strange that they quietly took people across the border to see such a vote. The Odin people have always been respected by the strong, whose fists are hard and whose knives are bright, they will naturally be respected.

These guys have been depressed for too long these days, maybe someone has violated their orders, and it is not too surprising to do this kind of thing.

Manninger is familiar with the temperament of the Odin warriors under his command, and he has long been accustomed to it, Odin was born in the northern country, even if it is between the same tribes, there will be occasional fights, this kind of small thing, if it is placed in the clan, he will just smile and pass, and he will not hold anyone accountable at all. According to the custom of the Odin, if you are robbed, you can only blame yourself for being too weak, and you deserve it, and no one will sympathize with you and pity you at all.

If you are weak and backward, you will be beaten, and in the eyes of the Odin, it is simply a matter of course.

The only thing that made Manninger a little unhappy was that these little cubs below, since they had done such a vote and got benefits, they actually swallowed it privately, and according to the customs of the tribe, they went out to loot the sharp goods, but they had to think that the clan elders contributed a part. These family rights: After doing this really vote, I am afraid that I have gained a lot of weight in one bite, but I actually got bored, and it is a bit nonsense.

I think it's because I gave a military order not to cross the border, and these kids below are hindered by the military order, so they don't dare to report it to themselves.

Manninger decided in his heart that he had all the remaining doubts, but he thought that he would go back and knock the restless boys below, robbing them, but he still had to hand over the spoils according to the rules, and the rules in the tribe could not be broken.

As for the envoy sent by the Corsican Military District, Manninger only dealt with it casually, only deniing that he knew about the situation, and there was no evidence of such a thing.

Speaking of evidence, the people sent by the Corsican Military Region immediately realized that this Odin leader was probably going to deny it.

The sneak attack of the Odin did a very clean job, every time they came at night, grabbed a ticket and ran, and when fighting, even if there was damage, they never left prisoners. As for the evidence, he didn't even catch a single hair of the other party, so where can he say the evidence? As for the witnesses, after all, there is no comment...... Manninger looked at the other party's envoy's face, and his heart immediately calmed down, thinking that although these boys below were a little reckless, they were still doing things cleanly, and they also saved me a lot of trouble.

Besides, Manninger is also a mind, as the patriarch, he is naturally protective of his shortcomings, and he originally saw that these Byzantines were weak and could be bullied, and his subordinates robbed them, even if they violated their own orders, it was their own patriarch who closed the door and dealt with them by himself, where did the Byzantines who got these soft Byzantines come to ask for guilt?

At that time, Manninger sank his face and said angrily: "Since there is no evidence, why do you say that I Odin Warrior did it?

The envoy of the other party was speechless, but he just insisted on one, after the battle, naturally some people saw clearly, the person who attacked the sneak attack must be the Odin warriors, not only the Corsican soldiers can testify, but also many civilians and civilians have also seen it.

When Manninger heard this, he smiled coldly: "Since there is a witness, bring it and confront me face to face!"

This also made the Corsican envoy lose his temper...... Running in front of the commander of the Odin, who doesn't know that this Manninger is a murderer who doesn't blink an eye, slaughtering thousands of prisoners of war in the Seventh Soldier without even blinking an eyelid. Who would dare to confront such a fierce person in person?

"This one-one-one" Seeing that the envoy was speechless) Manninger's face sank even more) shouted angrily = "Hmph, you don't even dare to confront each other, naturally you are weak-hearted, and I don't know where the bandits came from to rob you, you don't have the ability to catch the thieves, but you are planted on our Bashak people! I see that your Corsican army is also pus, hum, for the sake of the two alliances, if you don't have the ability to suppress the thieves yourself, I, as an ally, might as well send troops across the river to help you maintain law and order!"

As soon as the envoy heard this, Manninger was going to send troops to cross the river?

Manninger's face sank like water, he was also the head of a clan, the commander of thousands of troops under his command, and the commander of the army, killing people was not counted, and naturally there was a majesty of killing, and the face of the messenger of Corsica was like earth, and he only promised to make promises, where did he dare to accuse him? I could only swallow this breath helplessly, and went back in a hunch.

drove away the Corsican envoy, but Manninger only smiled and ordered, "Go down and ask which little cub did a good deed, hehe, send someone down to scold a few words, and the things that were snatched back, according to the rules of the tribe, should be handed over."

Naturally, his subordinates went down to investigate, but they asked all the camps below, but they didn't ask a single doorway. Manninger listened to the report, said that he didn't find it, and he didn't care, but just smiled: "These boys are getting more and more cunning." Forget it, probably because they were afraid that I would punish them for violating military orders, so no one dared to admit it. Tell the people below to do things carefully in the future 0 bar.

He said this casually, to be honest, Manninger was satisfied with his heart at this time, and he didn't regard offending a Corsican military district as a big deal, he knew the overall situation, these Byzantine rebel warlords would never dare to turn their faces with Odin at this moment, besides, Odin's army had already occupied the four counties in northern Byzantium, and more than 100,000 male soldiers were at the door of the other party's house, where did they dare to turn their faces against themselves? The battle in Osgilia was not over yet, and these Byzantines were too late to tie themselves up.

Manninger's order was to "do things carefully", but did not reiterate anything "no crossing the river to loot", the guys from the Odin battalion below had been depressed for many days, and at this moment I heard that the brothers of a battalion had crossed the river to rob and made a fortune, and they had not been punished, so the patriarch reprimanded them so casually.

Suddenly, everyone's minds came alive.

To grab it, but to do it cleanly, without leaving a handle?

Although the Chixue Army has gained a lot since it went south, who would be afraid of money for a while, and everyone is secretly gearing up...... But he said that after the Corsican envoy returned, he reported what happened in the Manninger camp again, and the governor's palace of Corsica was also annoyed. When the old governor heard the news from his hospital bed, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and the eldest son Cardoso, who was in charge, was silent for a long time, and finally dropped the teacup in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

This Odin people are so unpopular, Cardoso is naturally helpless, but then someone sent by his father sent an order: no drag is allowed in all places, in case the Odin people start a war under the pretext of the Odin.

He also sent someone to instruct a sentence: The overall situation is important, as long as the battle situation in Osgilia has a result, naturally there is no fear of Shizen.

The old governor sent someone to convey this to his second son Gaia, probably because the old governor knew that his second son had a violent temperament, and sent someone to tell him that the army must not move without permission, and if there is a transfer, it must go through his own warrant The old governor is naturally kind, but he doesn't know that this little son of Taiji has a different mind.

, Dusk Gaia took charge of the Corsican Military Region, and originally relied on his old father to love him. But the old governor has been sick in bed for many years, and he is in charge of the army outside, but there is a big brother who stays in power, and the eldest son Cardoso is also a smart man, serving in front of the bed, Si Si's redemption of the old governor's feelings, and the balance gradually favors the eldest son. It's just that after all, the second son has led the army for many years and already has a certain amount of power in the army, even if the old governor wants to cut the second son's military power at this moment, he has some scruples, which has dragged this situation to this day.

At this time, the old governor was kind, for fear that his youngest son would indiscriminately transfer troops and horses and cause friction with the Odin, and said a sentence "The transfer of the army must have a warrant from the governor", which fell on Gaia's ears, but he had a different reaction: Could it be that my father wants to take the opportunity to seize my military power and support my eldest brother to take the throne?

He pretended to be obedient on the surface, but secretly summoned his henchmen and sent everyone down, instructing everyone to take charge of the army...... "Without my own order, not even my eldest brother or the governor's warrant, no ......"

These henchmen and generals under him are all henchmen who he has cultivated for many years, and his future has long been tied to him, knowing that if Gaia loses power, his people will definitely be tolerated by the eldest prince, so he naturally accepts the order without hesitation.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Major General...... If the Odin provokes again, what are we going to do......?

Gaia was a tough person, and immediately said angrily: "We still need to ask, how do they fight, how can we beat back! Are we Corsicans all turtles with shrunken heads? When someone robs something and kills someone, don't you dare to resist!"

He also had a thought in his heart: "Just take the opportunity to firmly grasp the military power, in case his father and eldest brother do anything."

This is a more sensitive time, once the war in Osgilia has come to an end, the Byzantine royal family will be an independent kingdom from now on. Although he has military power, he is not the heir of the family after all, so if he doesn't take the opportunity to gain a firm foothold and firmly grasp the military power, how will he mix it up in the future?

It is best to let the father and the eldest brother see the situation clearly and know that the army is in their own hands, and it is best for the father to make a choice, abolish the eldest brother, and make himself the heir, which is once and for all.

In a mountain forest on the upper reaches of the Rollo River, among the dense woods, there are some secret sentinels hidden in the treetops at the edge of the woods, in the woods, Char is surrounded by a group of horse thieves, and a map of Corsica and Siltan County is spread on the ground, Char took a branch and compared it for a while, and said with a smile: "We have made two troubles, and both sides can actually bear it, it seems that the strength of this fanning the flames is not enough, and we have to do another big vote." ”

After a pause, the leader of a cavalry next to him smiled and said, "Uncle...... That, Char-sama, these Corsican armies are too, since we pretended to be Odin and beat them, they don't dare to fight back to retaliate against the Odin, why don't we attack the Odin...... Wouldn't it be much easier for those Odin people to have a fiery temper than to provoke these timid Corsicans?"

Char shook his head when he heard this: "The Corsicans are weak, we go to attack them, and they don't dare to chase them too much." After all, we are alone, only a few hundred people. If someone finds a trace, I'm afraid everyone will be buried. To provoke the Odin, the danger of exposure is too great. And...... There are no good opportunities either. ”

After a pause, he explained: "The system in the army of the Odin is loose and crude, we pretend to be Odin to sneak attack the Corsicans, even if the Odin people know the news, they will be confused for a while, and they can't figure out who did it, but they are afraid that they really think which part of their own people did it." It is precisely because of the loose system within the Odin that we can fish in troubled waters. This Corsica is different, if we pretend to be Corsican people to go to the Yuzhanti Odin army, as soon as the news comes out, the Corsican army is built according to the Byzantine military system, and the upper and lower ranks are clear, and you can find it out if you check carefully. When the time comes, we'll be exposed. ”

The people lurked in the woods for two more days, and anyway, they came back from a few days of grabbing a lot of food, and there was no shortage of food.

After hiding for two days, there were scouts from outside who came back to report the news, which immediately made Char happy, it turned out that the Corsicans did not retaliate, but the Odin people had moved, it turned out that the Odin people had long wanted to cross the river to make a fortune, and they had been patient under Manninger's military orders. However, a few days ago, Char and others pretended to be Odin to sneak attack the Corsican army on the other side, and Odin was confused inside, and he didn't know which good man in his tribe did it...... Originally, everyone wanted to get rich, but because of the patriarch's order, there was no one to take the lead...... At this time, someone finally took the lead, and the patriarch did not do any strict internal investigation and punishment because of his shortcomings, but it stimulated everyone's thoughts.

In less than three days, three more Odin squads stationed on the banks of the Rollo River crossed the river at night to attack the village of Corsica and grabbed a lot of loot.

There was also a group of unscrupulous men, who were no more than a hundred people, surrounded a village, sent people to block it at both ends, and then went from house to house to confiscate property, and the result was a full night, and at dawn, the nearby Corsican army finally sent troops, but this group of Odin was not afraid, less than a hundred men, and confronted two battalions of Corsican army, only to think that these Corsicans were as weak as the other Byzantines.

Unexpectedly, the Corsican army of these two battalions that ran over was Gaia's descendant, and they had already received Gaia's order, and if the Odin invaded again, they would fight back fiercely, and as a result, the two sides really fought a battle, although the Odin were fierce and fierce, but more than half of the people were killed and wounded on the spot, and only five or six ran back, and everyone was injured.

At this moment, it suddenly caused a sensation in the entire Red Snow Army with the character of the Odin, I can rob you, if you dare to kill my people, then it will not work Suddenly all the armies were in a commotion, although Manninger knew that his own side was at fault, but he was now in the limelight, where was he willing to give in? Immediately, a large army gathered on the bank of the Rollo River, and put on a posture to cross the river.

In fact, although Manninger made a fierce posture, he also knew that the overall situation was important, and he could not really start a war with the Corsican Military Region. It's just a show to scare the other party, as long as the other party relents, sends someone to send a lot of money, and then introduces a few scapegoats, he will take the opportunity to step down.

But here's the problem...... Corsica was not unified with the old governor and Cardoso, so they naturally did not want to go to war with the Odin, and just as Manninger thought, send a sum of money, and push out a few scapegoats, and settle the matter.

But the problem is that it's okay to send a batch of property, but this scapegoat can't be pushed out, and it is Gaia's descendants who have fought fiercely with the Odin! Gaia has a foothold in the Corsican Military Region, he is the youngest son, according to the Byzantine tradition, he has no inheritance in the first place, and relies on the support of these descendants of the generals in the army. If at such a time, he handed over his descendants as scapegoats - go...... Doesn't it chill the hearts of his henchmen? In this way, who will be faithful to him in the future?

Naturally, Gaia did not back down, and even simply left the Governor's Palace and moved to the barracks of his descendants' army, putting on a resolute and uncooperative attitude.

And the old governor wants to send people to arrest people in the direct army, but there is no way, Gaia has already ordered, in addition to his warrant, even the old governor's orders can not be obeyed Although the old governor is also in charge of some descendant troops, but after all, he takes into account the overall situation, and he can't do anything to let his descendant troops crusade against the younger son's troops. It can be seen that although the old man is seriously ill, he is not dizzy.

This time, without waiting for the Odin to call, the interior of Corsica was so angry that the old governor vomited two bowls of blood on the bed, but he didn't expect that he was getting old, but he was given power by his own son.

The old governor was so angry that he was dying, and his eldest son Cardoso was so scared that he was dying, and now it seemed that the military power was in his brother's hands, and if his brother took the opportunity to launch a coup d'état, wouldn't he be able to kill himself in an instant?

After all, the old father still has a father-son relationship with his younger brother, and even if the younger brother launches a coup d'état, he will never harm the old father's life. But it's different...... If the younger brother is launched, the one who wants to be killed must be himself, and when it comes to making a choice, although his father still has a little military power, he will not tear his face with his younger brother for the sake of himself! Cardoso knows very well that although his father is bedridden, he is not stupid, and for the sake of the family's great cause, when it comes time to make a choice, he would rather sacrifice himself than see the family split and fight a civil war.

At this time, a staff member gave Cardoso a suggestion, "My lord, the current situation is nothing more than the persecution of the Odin army...... After all, he is not a governor, and if he does this, the governor will definitely be dissatisfied in his heart. As long as the Odin people outside withdraw, the little boy will have no excuse to continue to grasp the military power. In the current situation, we must buy time, as long as we can let the Odin people recede, our internal can naturally be slowly rectified. The Governor must also be dissatisfied with the little boy. It's just that due to the persecution of the Odin, I have to support the little boy at this moment, once the Odin people retreat......"

Cardoso's eyes lit up suddenly, he weighed it for a while, and finally made up his mind, "If you want the Odin people to retreat, it seems that I have to go in person! As the eldest son of the governor, I went to see Manninger in person, which can be regarded as giving the Odin people a lot of face, and the Odin people don't mean to really tear their faces with us, as long as I go in person, Manninger has a step, and he will naturally retreat." ”

The subordinates around him were shocked: "You go yourself? That's not okay! I heard that these Odin people are fierce and cruel, and that Manninger is a guy who kills people without blinking. You have gone with such an identity, what is the mistake of Wan Shi......"

Cardoso gritted his teeth; "The current situation is urgent, if I don't go, I'm afraid it will be a dead end! It's better to fight! As long as I can persuade Manninger to withdraw his troops, the old ministers in the governor's palace will look up to me! Even Gaia can't speak! Whether he is a rich or a prisoner in the future depends on this fight!"

After a pause, he instructed his henchmen: "I'll go quietly, don't make noise about the news, take a detour, don't take the defense area of the Gaia barium troops, lest someone harm me......"

This Cardoso is also a decisive character, and after making a decision and making proper arrangements, Cardoso met with the boss that night, and quietly went on the road with a hundred and ten guards.

"Uncle, Uncle!!"

In the woods, Char was holding a skinned rabbit in his hand and grilling it on the fire, and said with a smile: "This barbecue pays attention to a heat, when Lao Tzu was in the mountains, what meat was not roasted?" There are also a few horse thieves by his side, and Char is bragging about his glorious history of fighting tigers and leopards in the mountains...... Just as he was talking, he heard a horse thief running in and shouting, Char's face turned pale, and he was furious, "What are you shouting nonsense!

"That, my lord......" The horse thief laughed and lowered his voice, "Business has come to the door! On the road east of the forest, a team of people has come! More than a dozen big cars, the wheel prints are very deep, and it seems that there are a lot of things! We are familiar with these things, the car is heavy and light cargo, a few hundred steps apart, at a glance, you can guess ** not far from ten. This team is such a fat sheep!"

Char's eyes rolled, and he laughed and scolded this guy, "Damn, you guys, have you forgotten your identity? Now you are not horse thieves, you are Byzantine officers."

Why did you think of doing this robbery again!"

The horse thief grinned: "Those big carts, I have looked carefully, they have the mark of the Corsican army on them, and they seem to be transporters...... I don't know what to ship. There is a luxurious carriage in the back, surrounded by many guards, I think it is a big man!"
