"Oh, damn it......" Augustine was on his horse, looking at the sky from time to time, "Why is it raining at this time!" Augustine looked at the drizzle falling from the sky, Augustine showed an ugly face.

He hates the rain, and this is almost a common problem of all cavalry, all cavalry, no one likes to fight with the enemy in the rain, the gallop of the war horse is difficult to open people's eyes, and even the slightest raindrop, it still hurts to hit the face, and the face of the light cavalry will not have armor.

The Twenty-Seventh Corps is not now moving at full speed, nor is the horses running, in fact, they have set foot on the land of the Imperial Territory, and beyond that is Taransar.

"It's June, Augustin, don't you know it's a rainy season?" said Cillin, glancing at Augustine.

"Uh...... That being said, I hate the rain," Augustine said, glancing at the sky again, "Damn, those guys in the Imperial Capital, they don't know where to send us. ”

For Augustine's complaints, Cillin directly chose to ignore them, in his opinion, Augustin's words are more and more, due to his excessive adrenaline secretion, and has nothing to do with the weather.

After two days of full speed forward, the 20th Corps finally entered the Imperial Territory, because their speed was already fast, and the messengers sent out were not faster than them, so until now, Xilin did not know the news that the 16th Corps had been killed.

Augustine looked at Cillin and ignored him, so he stopped talking, but it didn't take long for him to continue: "Sillin." Who do you think our immediate boss will be? Lord Oliver is the commander of the Western Expedition. We need to take charge of the overall situation, our 27th Corps is cavalry, and the chances of the reproduction of the troops and horses are not too great, is it Lord Harris? My God, we were just minions when we were in Odo. ”

Speaking of Odo, Augustine remembered General Clarence, but now, only a few hundred people survived from the original 27th Corps. The cavalry corps of more than 10,000 people is only a few hundred left!

Glancing at Cirin, Augustine didn't continue.

Ahead, a magnificent city loomed, and the thin rain line did not block the view too much, not only Xilin and Augustine, but also some ordinary soldiers.

Although there was no cheering, Xilin clearly felt that among the soldiers, in the ranks of the entire twenty-seventh corps. The oppressive atmosphere seemed to disappear in an instant.

A faint smile appeared on Cillin's face, and he remembered what General Clarence had said: There is more to war than fighting. A race against time is no less a battle, and even more strategic!

Yes, strategically!

In any case, Xilin is now the general of the 27th Corps, and yes, the newly built 27th Corps has already passed his rite of passage!

"Lord Reginord!" Looking at the front of the team outside the city, Xilin's eyes suddenly widened!

He rode his horse at the front, with Augustin and Dana flanking him and dozens of guards led by Arrin behind.

"General Xilin, I didn't expect us to meet so soon!haha!" Reginald's face was full of smiles, and he walked up to meet him when he was more than ten meters away.

Seeing the other party greeting him, Xilin hurriedly turned over and jumped off the horse, and dozens of people behind him also followed.

"Your Excellency!" said Cillin, and the group fell to one knee.

Reginod also walked in front of everyone at this time, and when he saw Xilin kneeling, he took two quick steps, and helped Xilin up with both hands, "General, please get up, all soldiers, please get up!"

With the slight force of Reginord's hands, Xilin stood up, and everyone behind him also stood up at the same time, if Reginod didn't go out of the city to pick up, Xilin They didn't have to make this big salute, but the other party was an important minister of the empire, and he went out of the city to greet him, this is not an ordinary courtesy, for Xilin, and even for the entire twenty-seventh corps, this is an honor!

"It's good for an adult to call him Xilin, and he can be called a general, but it just torments me. While riding his horse, Cillin said to Reginord beside him, "My lord, what are you?"

"Huh...... I forgot to tell you, this expedition to the west is extraordinary, Duke Oliver is in command of the three armies, Lord Harris is the deputy commander, and I now have the title of forward commander. Reginoord smiled as if the striker wasn't that important.

Hearing this, Xilin's heart also breathed a sigh of relief, in addition to being very good at enjoying it, there is nothing bad about this person, maybe it can also be said that his tactical and strategic command ability is very outstanding!

It was raining lightly, but that didn't affect their conversation, as they were both from the military, and it wasn't a big deal.

After Reginald finished speaking, he seemed to remember another thing, and then said: "By the way, Silin, I forgot to tell you that there is another person you know in Taransar. ”

"Kus?" Cillin raised an eyebrow.

"Haha...... You've guessed it right, it seems that you have some prejudices about the Kuth Overseers. As he spoke, Reginald looked to the side, Augustin and Dana were following from a distance, and only he and Sirin were in the front, "I have news for you, Kus knows that His Majesty intends to marry you the princess, and he has regarded you as his rival in love." ”

Reginord's voice was small, but Sirin was close enough to hear it clearly.

"Rival in love?" Cillin looked at Reginord, "I don't know any princess, how can he treat me as a rival in love, besides, I didn't say that I must marry a princess." ”

But without waiting for Reginod to answer, Xilin looked at Reginod with a smile again, "My lord, how old is Your Majesty this year, where will there be any princess, my lord is joking." ”

"Do you think I'm joking?" said Reginald, gesturing to his nose......

"Like!"

"Okay, then I won't say more, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is sixteen years old this year, and she can get married. With that, Reginald looked ahead to himself.

"Uh...... Eldest princess?" Xilin looked stunned, "Your Majesty's sister?"

"En......" I saw Reginod nodding heavily, with a gloomy smile on his face, which made Xilin look how insidious and insidious this smile was.

Augustine and Dana in the back didn't know what the two were talking about, but they looked at this mysterious appearance, as if they were talking about something important.

Seeing that Reginod stopped talking, Xilin coughed lightly: "My lord, what you said can't be true, His Majesty will marry his sister to me, why is this?"

"What, you're tempted?" Reginord glanced at Cilin, "I heard that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is very beautiful." ”

Xilin is not tempted, he knows that no matter how beautiful the princess is, he will not be tempted, just because of the emperor of the empire!

"Huh...... Adults don't joke anymore. After saying that, Xilin looked at the city gate not far away.

Seeing that Sirin was like this, Reginod couldn't say anything, he could have guessed that this was the kind of ending, and he still knew some reasons for the death of Cilin's father.

With the arrival of Xilin, the vanguard corps of the entire Western Expedition is only 19 Corps, although Xilin is farther than them, but the 27th Corps' war horses, the endurance is still good.

According to the Malay report, the 19th Corps was already less than thirty kilometers away from Taransar, and because after two days of forced march, their speed had now slowed down, and it was estimated that it would take at least four hours or more to arrive.

On the evening of June 1, after an hour's rest, the first important meeting in the real history of the Western Expedition was held in the chamber of Taransar.

Present at the meeting were Commander Reginod, Commander of the Striker, Viscount Kus, Commander of the Twenty-Seven Corps, General Silin, and Corps Staff Officer Augustin and Adjutant General Dana, as well as officers of the Thirty-second Corps.

The meeting lasted until late in the evening, during which all those present expressed their opinions, and finally the famous 'Taransar Resolution' on the road to the west was passed.

That being said, this resolution does not seem to have brought much of a favorable situation to the war, and what is even more speechless is that this resolution will drag several corps into the quagmire of war in the coming months.

But that's all for later, and the reality goes back to June 1st, when the dark night was spent in the rain, and the next day when the sun shone on the earth, it was a sign that a new day had arrived.

For three days, Claude did not brave the heavy rain to advance, such a heavy rain, maybe the plan to postpone it for a few more days is possible, the postponement of the war is beneficial to both sides, but it depends on who can seize the advantage.

On the 2nd of June, early in the morning, the 27th Corps, which had rested all night, set out again, yes, the rain in Taransar was very small, and it only fell until midnight, which did not affect the rest of the soldiers.

Although the previous rapid march had made them extremely sluggish, but now they were alive and well, and the young men of the empire were full of vitality.

This time, Xilin's destination is the northeast region of Andus, yes, this is the only way to go through the general route of the Western Expedition, and as the only cavalry corps of the forward corps, if it can win in Andus, then the first merit of the Western Expedition will fall into Xilin's pocket.

In this regard, Kus also objected, but except for Xilin, there was no one in the entire forward corps who was suitable for this task, and Kus had to give up, but he was not optimistic about Xilin, although it was from the elite division, but the army they were facing, the other party ate the sixteenth corps in less than two hours, since he couldn't stop Xilin from taking the lead, then he was also very happy to sit and watch Xilin make a fool of himself.
