In the morning sun, the Twin Towers Fortress is like a knight in a golden cloak, silently standing in this desolate and bloody land, guarding the peace of the kingdom - for many Turines, especially those living in the Dukedom of Hantu City, this is the end of the world, beyond the other end of the Twin Towers Fortress, a hell full of barbarism and barrenness.

And for each generation of the Duke of Hantu City, it is likely to be even more so - the eastern side of the Twin Towers is not only a fairly barren land, but also filled with a large number of monsters and beasts, between the mountains and forests are bloodthirsty and fierce war tribes, where the land has no value to conquer at all, compared to the southeast corner, although the terrain is broken, there are still rivers passing through it, and there are fertile tidal flats and swamps that can be cultivated as long as the water is drained.

Therefore, in the past three hundred years, the Hantu barbarians have launched attacks from the Twin Towers Fortress again and again, and in the past three hundred years, each Duke of Hantu City has never expanded his territory to the east of the Twin Towers Fortress by half a step, but has chosen to vigorously manage and develop the hills in the southeast corner, and divide the land there to retired soldiers and knights with military achievements, and build villages and towns one after another.

But in Edward's eyes, there was another precious "treasure" in this seemingly desolate land—and that was the unobstructed road!

True, it was desolate and barren, and was infested with a large number of barbarians. But one of the reasons why every "King of the Vast Land" has chosen to attack the Vast Earth City from here for hundreds of years is also because the roads are so smooth that tens of thousands of troops can easily pass through them, and such roads are absolutely non-existent in other parts of the Vast Lands.

Compared to the Duke of Hantu City. It will definitely be more troublesome for these war tribes to gather an army. There is no order. There is no planning. Relying entirely on the memories of the warriors and leaders of their ancestors, the assembly was done in their respective locations - if the roads were rough and the assembly places were hard to find, it would have driven them crazy.

"How long will it take us to turn around now, leave the Twin Towers Fortress and return to Hantu City, and then head south to the Southeast Corner, a month or a half? It can reach the battlefield in the southeast corner without losing the combat effectiveness of the legion. ”

"But with all due respect, what you want to do is simply taking a risk!" Although he had decided to be completely loyal to Edward, Lybinus's answer was still very strong, without considering whether it was rude or not: "Our army has not traveled here at all, who can be sure that this road is safe, those barbarian leaders?"

"If they dare to lie to us, then kill us again!" shouted Donner, who was sitting on the outermost side, "Anyway, if we have won once, we will definitely win a second time, just like the one in the Eagle's Nest Valley!"

"Even so. We should still reduce the senseless casualties - and this time, unlike the Eagle's Nest Valley, for these barbarian tribes. We don't have any favors, but we need to collect food and soldiers from them!" Repinus couldn't help but emphasise: "Can we expect them to be grateful after taking their grain and cattle and plundering the slaves?!"

"We can try to pick the more loyal tribes, or find a way to find a more suitable replacement. Edward said in a deep voice, "Lebinus, you are right, this is indeed a rather risky plan - what can you do to make it to the southeast corner as quickly as possible, and avoid all kinds of risks?"

The Chief Centurion was silent - where in the world did such a good thing come from? Acquiescing to Edward's choice, he had to take a step back: "Then please allow me to lead the scout cavalry and the guide together, to avoid risks as much as possible, and to make a map that is accurate enough." ”

"So be it. Of course, Edward would not object to such a proposal, and the longsword Bright Star slammed in mid-air and inserted it back into its sheath: "Rectify the whole army, after noon, we will officially open and advance to the east of the Twin Towers Fortress!"

The generals and knights who had been ordered to leave the hall one after another—except for a silver-haired wizard who was belated, sat in his place with a funny expression on his face, and poured a glass of mead: "Lessinus is right—the way you chose is too dangerous, who can guarantee that there will be a few traitors among those war tribes who are ready to sell you to the great chief of the Blue Wolf Clan?"

"The decision I made, which one is not dangerous - that's more interesting, isn't it?" The corners of Edward's mouth curled slightly, and a strange light flashed in his dark eyes, "Seriously, if I had the chance, I really wanted to meet the great chief of the Blue Wolf Clan." ”

Marco Tasker couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the smile on Edward's face—the look was full of anticipation and rather pleasant, and it was extremely cruel to look at it.

...... Sure enough, even now, Edward Witwood hasn't changed at all, he just disguises himself very well, and he is no longer so public, he is still the arrogant, murderous, cunning, and slightly human guy who disguises himself!

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Marco Tasker immediately denied it, and changed the subject: "But now that we have defeated Gracchus and the Red Horse Clan has perished, how can we tell His Highness Anson about such a big thing?"

Edward nodded silently - this was indeed a problem, in fact, he did not expect to end the battle so quickly, in his original plan, the two sides were afraid that it would drag on for a long time, after all, Gracchus commanded a full army of 50,000, even if he relied on the Twin Towers Fortress, it was still extremely difficult to defeat him.

But the situation was surprisingly smooth now, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of heading to the southeast corner immediately...... After a slight pause, Edward still made a decision: "Send it as it is - try to describe it in the letter, we won the battle after a terrible bloody battle, and the Battle Banner Legion has suffered heavy casualties, as for our next plan, don't talk about it." ”

"Understood!" the silver-haired wizard smiled and nodded—he could probably guess what Edward was trying to do—first, to take credit and try to get a reward from the little prince, and secondly, to show that the Legion was too heavy to take on too many tasks, so that the Banner Legion would not be placed on some other important battlefield by the Chief Lieutenant of Grimm Turn.

The Twin Towers Fortress was reasonable, but that didn't mean that Edward liked to be called upon by him - he didn't want to be done anything like that by the chief lieutenant, otherwise even if he could win every time, by the time the war was over, the entire Battle Banner Legion would have been killed and wounded, and there would be no more combat power to speak of.

Without its own legion, it has no status, let alone the right to speak, which is especially important in Hantu.

"Oh, by the way, the war tribes who surrendered to you have sent nearly three thousand tribal warriors to join your legion, most of them infantry, and more than a hundred cavalry. Marco Tasker seemed to have just thought: "I have been scattered and assigned to various flag regiments, and I am practicing according to the combat style of the legion, but I am afraid that there will still be some omissions in the short term." ”

"It doesn't matter, after a few battles, they'll be indistinguishable from the Turin soldiers - that's why Berrion likes to recruit the war tribes so much. Edward said in a deep voice, "And if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid the journey won't be too uneventful." ”

Of course, it won't be too peaceful, otherwise Edward's will choose to travel from Hantu City to the southeast corner—Marco Tasker couldn't help but pout. Whether it's a trophy or a strong enough army, it needs war to forge.

Edward Witwood will get everything he wants, but whether he will succeed or not is known only to Radiant Cross. (To be continued.) )
