It would be a big joke for any legion, when it reached a certain level of numbers, to hide its whereabouts - a whole army of 300,000 troops marched on the Turin Heights, even if they never entered the western part of the Turines, and the news would be the first to reach the city.

In fact, there was no need for Anson to send someone to find out the news, someone would send the information of this army to their ears - 300,000 troops, such a large army had never appeared in the entire Hantu, and their slogan was no different from all the rebellious Hantu barbarians in the past three hundred years, they were all ready to conquer Hantu City and then become the king of Hantu.

Many clans had had such ambitions in the past, but this time they were replaced by the clans in the eastern wasteland, the farthest and most savage of the many tribes of the Vast Lands, and the ancient tribes between the dense forests and mountains officially rose up, unified the surrounding tribes, and officially declared war on the people of Turin.

Almost every day, news of this legion would come in, and these barbarian clans didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, and even kept spreading the news, and they had been rebelling with the surrounding tribes, disconnecting from Hantu City and joining the army, which were currently attacking the Twin Towers.

It was for this reason that Edward dared to conclude that they would never have taken the Twin Towers Fortress - if they really intended to take it by the strongest means, it would not have dragged on until now. According to Lerbinus, most of the barbarian warriors under Gracchus had no protective gear, and their weapons were rude. The only people who can pose a threat to the fortress are the four-headed trolls. And they have already killed one with a ballista. Gracchus hadn't launched any decent attacks for a whole day.

According to Edward's estimation of this barbarian army, the number of trolls in their hands should not be less than ten, and if they were faced with a castle that had to be breached, they would definitely do their best, instead of delaying it like now. You must know that this army is 300,000 people, and even if the consumption of various materials is maintained at the lowest level, it is definitely an incomparably huge number, and every day of delay will seriously damage morale and war potential.

And if you want to avoid the Twin Towers Fortress. And the road that would allow 300,000 troops to pass through and get to Hantu City without any problems would not be a mountain trail, it must have been a fairly open area—and it must have been known to everyone before they passed there.

"Therefore, the Twin Towers Fortress is very safe now - since they have no intention of attacking from the Twin Towers Fortress at all, then Gracchus will not really take down the Twin Towers Fortress at all costs until the enemy enters the territory of Hantu City. This guy is very cunning, he knows very well the significance of the Twin Towers Fortress. Once he captures it, the entire Han Land will destroy him at all costs!"

"And the cunning fox will not be sent to death easily. Therefore, even if we withdraw the troops in the fortress now, I am afraid that he will not have the courage to attack, but will find himself in a dilemma. Looking at the contents of the letter, Edward asserted, "That's why he wants to make peace with us, because he doesn't want to drain too much of his strength." ”

"But...... If that's the case, why did you send so many troops to the Twin Towers Fortress?" Little Goodwin was a little confused: "Since the other side doesn't dare to attack at all, wouldn't it be better to take the opportunity to withdraw some troops and arrange to go somewhere else?"

"On the contrary, the more times like this, the more we can't let the other side understand that their intentions and goals have been detected!" Edward shook his head and patted the little squire's head lightly: "It's not just killing you to the death on the battlefield that it's war - the operation of logistics, the number of hole cards, and the contest between layouts are all part of the war, and there are still many things you have to learn!"

"But I'm just your servant, I don't need to know this, do I?" muttered little Goodwin, "My job is to keep notes, and arrange everything for you—is there anything else?"

"Of course, maybe the ability can't determine the upper limit of a person, but when the great task comes, how much you can do determines whether you can really take on your own responsibilities!" Edward looked at him, "Could it be that I would have known that I could become the Knight of the Sacred Tree, and even His Highness's Squire Military Attaché, the Viscount of Hornfort until now the Chief Flag Officer?"

Little Goodwin nodded as if he didn't understand - although he never thought that he could be the chief flag officer, Edward did make a lot of sense, and more importantly, the other party was his loyal person, whether he understood it or not, just nod his head.

"Now here's up to you - get the damn ledgers in order, take stock of what should be delivered to which warehouse, and do what you do best. As he spoke, Edward rubbed little Goodwin's hair into a mess, "I'm going to talk to our chief lieutenant about how to meet with those overexcited barbarians!"

"Really?" Little Goodwin's eyes lit up immediately, holding the account book that was taller than him, and looked at Edward excitedly: "Are you going to war?!"

"Of course, otherwise, if all these soldiers are gathered in Hantu City, the whole city will be famine in less than half a month. The corners of Edward's mouth lifted and he strode out of the room: "The best choice for them to be honest is to let them kill themselves!"

As soon as he walked out the door, the smile on Edward's face faded a lot—only he knew himself best, and Edward was no different, and all he said was always an excuse.

Of course, this was only one of the reasons, but Edward knew very well that he would not have the heart to prepare for the coming big battle if he could not keep the Twin Towers in a state of absolute security - he had already sent out most of the troops around him to ensure Allen's safety, and there were not many soldiers left at hand.

The price is that in this war, it is likely that he has not done much at all - and even if he had, he would have been taken credit to the little prince. After all, he was the Duke of Hantu City, and he was just a chief flag officer beside him, as it should be.

If it weren't for this rebellion, I'm afraid the little prince wouldn't have thought so much of himself. No matter how close the relationship between him as a military attache of the Wang family is, those generals from wealthy families will not give up the position next to Anson to themselves.

When Edward walked into the room, the whole room was almost full—the pairs of fearful, respectful, disdainful, and even flattering glances swept in front of Edward one by one, and the fine armor and coats of arms on their bodies indicated their identity, and all the officers and commanders of the entire land were here.

"I thought you were going to be late. Seeing the person walking in, the corners of Green Turn's mouth curled slightly: "It seems that our Chief Flag Officer finally has time to leave his parchment pile?"

"It's not like a chief lieutenant who has gotten into the eye of money, my work is boring and boring, and I don't want to do it for a long time. Edward also joked: "After all, he is just a flag bearer, and it is not your turn to be as beautiful!"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, but the generals around them were all in a cold sweat - this kind of joke is the mouth of the two people who have a good enough relationship to say, and any knight would have already drawn his sword at this time.

"With that out of the way, it's time for us to get down to business. Greene Turn, picking up his saber and tapping lightly at the map table in the center of the room, said, "Our enemy has gathered an army of 300,000 and will reach the border at any time." ”

"They have two options, the most likely is the Twin Towers, and now there are 50,000 troops attacking this castle for days, and it could fall at any moment. Greene Turn: "So, we're going to catch them from the other direction!" (To be continued.) )
