Chapter 175: Excuses

"Cedrus?" At the military meeting, Hegar repeated with a frown.

"Yes." The person who was talking to him at the moment was Dietrous, presumably because he didn't think Hegar understood, so he explained again, "We have to go to Sedrus now, because it's the only one there. ”

"But......" Hegar looked hesitant.

"I know that if I have to go to Sedrus now, it will be delayed for a long time, but without the brown core rock grass, I can't prepare an antidote." Ditru said.

"But it's spring, and it's quite dangerous over there." Hegar was obviously aware of Cedrus's situation as well, and immediately said.

"I know, but that's the only way to do it right now." "If we don't find an antidote, then it's useless to go to the Imperial City now, right?" said Ditru. ”

"......" Hegar was silent for a moment, it was true, but he also asked immediately, "Master Ditru, are you really sure that you will be able to concoct the antidote after you get the brown core rock grass?" ”

"Of course!" Ditru immediately stood up and said, "Are you questioning my abilities?" If that's the case, then don't believe me, I don't care about it. ”

"Of course not." Hegar immediately said, although Ditru not only failed in the first few times, but also caused so much trouble, but after all, he is the most powerful pharmacist in their country, who else can he believe if he doesn't believe this. “

"Master Ditru, don't be impatient." Ye Junwen, who was sitting next to him, also spoke at this time, "Uncle, I think I can only go to Cedrus now." If we rush back to the Imperial City now, although it is possible to catch up with the decisive battle in the Imperial City, we have now lost our righteousness. Duke Seleto is now questioning the bloodline of the royal family, but he also used such a poisonous scheme, so that the people of the royal family have no way to come forward to explain, now even if we arrive and destroy them, we may be said to kill people and kill people and other things, at present, because of this incident, the soldiers have little fighting spirit, such a force cannot win any battle, plus the situation inside the imperial city, we may even be defeated. So the most important thing now is to solve this problem first. ”

"I know what you said." Hegar nodded, the situation on the side of the main city also seemed to be spreading among the army, and I don't know if it was the news deliberately spread by the spies of the remaining Duke of Seleto, but it did make the soldiers very shaken. Fortunately, this is just a rumor at present, as long as the royal family does not show up to expose the current situation, the soldiers should only shake a little, but the paper can't contain the fire, and the best way is of course to let the emperor show up immediately.

"But the problem now is that the Imperial City can't wait." "Now the people in the Imperial City are in turmoil, it has been besieged for many days, and now it is even more dangerous, if we go to Cedrus, we will have to delay a lot of time, in case the city is broken......"

"If the city is broken, it will be providential." Ye Junwen said, "We've done all our best, haven't we? There are indeed some things in this world that can only be determined by providence, we try to do what we can, and leave the rest to the great gods to decide. “

"Hmm......" It was obvious that Hejiaer was still a little hesitant, but he still nodded, he didn't know what to do, maybe Ye Junwen was right.

"Actually, as long as you are fast, it won't take much time." Ye Junwen said, "I think those new weapons of the Tang Dynasty can just restrain those dragon-throated birds." ”

"That's ......" Hegar nodded, the most troublesome thing about those things is that they can fly and are fast, and these weapons happen to be long-range, and they seem to be really feasible. Thinking of this, Hegar also nodded, "In that case, let's go immediately." ”

Yes, in fact, this is Ye Junwen's delaying plan. Now what we are waiting for is to divide the winners and losers on the side of the Imperial City, Ye Junwen is a good fisherman, so he needs to delay a little time, and this is the countermeasure discussed by Ye Junwen and Ditru.

Ditru was still persuaded by Ye Junwen, because he didn't pay much attention to who was the emperor, anyway, as long as this aspect remained the same, it was really a good thing to change the emperor, after all, he had turned the prince into a dog, and everyone was worried about the emperor settling accounts after the autumn, so Ye Junwen's proposal was still a good thing for him.

In this case, of course, Ditru also helped to think of a way, and it happened that there was a place called Septus on the west side of this place, and there was a special medicinal herb in that place, called brown core rock grass. This kind of thing is very rare, not to mention only growing in this one place, and it is also relatively high on rocky mountains.

To add insult to injury, there is another dangerous creature called the dragon-throated bird, where the brown-core grass grows. According to Dietrous, this bird is huge, and it can also release magic, it belongs to the fourth level of monsters, not to mention, it is very difficult, and the number is very large, because Cedrus happens to be the breeding ground of these monsters, and the current season is the breeding season of the dragon-throated bird.

The Dragon's Throat is a migratory bird that comes to the Cedrus region in the spring to breed and then leaves in the autumn to go further south, so in general, even if the brown core grass is needed, the locals will collect it in the autumn and winter, and the spring and summer seasons are forbidden to enter the breeding area of the dragonthroat. Because it was the breeding season, in order to protect their young, these dragon-throated birds would take the initiative to attack the people who entered their territory.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Ye Junwen and Ditru will say that they need something like brown core rock grass, otherwise ordinary medicinal materials, they can just find a way to get it from other places, and this medicinal material does not produce anything in this season, and it cannot be stored for a long time, so if you want fresh brown core rock grass, you can only take it yourself.

And there are quite a few of Ditru's needs, if you only need a little, then it is possible to find them, or directly send some masters or something to run, but if you need a large number, then there is only one way, which is to send troops.

Of course, this was just an excuse, and Dietrou himself hadn't even thought of what materials to use, and he hadn't figured out why the previous experiment had failed. This was just a way for him and Ye Junwen to think of to delay time, once they said that, the troops could only go to the Cedrus area.

It is true that Dietroux also proposed a lot of other methods, but there is another reason why Ye Junwen chose this, that is, the Cedrus area is just in the southwest, and the imperial city is to the west of them, so they are tantamount to saying that they are going to the rear of the rebels, and if they act like this, it is obvious that they are stimulating the rebels. Because it seems that they want to cut off the retreat of the rebels, this is not forcing the rebels to move quickly.

In this way, the rebels should hurry up, of course, as for whether it will work or not, Ye Junwen doesn't know. If they really waited until they found the brown core rock grass, and the rebels here had not yet separated the victory from the troops in the imperial city, Ye Junwen would have no choice, and he would be ready to have a showdown with Hejiaer.

So in fact, after going around such a big circle, Ye Junwen just wanted to try to keep Hejiaer, just like he said, do his best and obey the destiny of heaven, he really gave Hejiaer a chance, whether he can keep it or not, it really depends on the sky. For him, anyway, he had to wait for the victory or defeat in the main city, and there was nothing to do during this time, so he just walked around to pass the time.

Hejiaer's agreement to act was also expected by Ye Junwen, after all, there was no other way. Hearing Hejiaer say to leave immediately, Ye Junwen also interrupted the other party: "Although I also want to set off quickly, there is still a more troublesome problem, what to do with the prisoners here......

"That's right." Hegar also reacted, there are still 50,000 troops of the Fifth Army here, they can't just leave them here, it doesn't seem appropriate to take them with them.

"Let's reorganize it first." Ye Junwen said, "After all, they are also soldiers of the Holy Willan Empire, and they are just acting on Conrad's orders, so we can't kill them all." ”

"Hmm." Of course, Hegar agreed to this, and had promised Conrad not to kill the captives.

"It just so happens that our troops have also suffered a lot of losses, and the establishment is now very chaotic, and these soldiers are all good soldiers, so what do you think of the disrupted integration into the troops?" Ye Junwen said.

"Well, I agree." Hegar nodded, of course, this is also risky, for example, if they still have the intention of rebelling, then it is not very dangerous to integrate into their troops, so there is a possibility of mutiny or something. However, Ye Junwen felt that these soldiers should not be able to mess up if they lost their leaders, as long as Conrad was optimistic.

Of course, this is also a way to delay time, of course, integration also takes time, if Ye Junwen is not to delay time, it is possible to really trap these captives, but now this is just waiting for time.

So it took another two days, Ye Junwen and He Jiaer worked hard to reorganize their troops, and this time the combined army expanded to more than 160,000 troops. The process of reorganization is relatively smooth, these soldiers didn't say anything, they all feel that the rebellion is impossible to succeed now, after all, the first and second legions are so powerful, if the rebellion is not successful, it will really be a rebellion, and they will be killed.

All preparations were made, and early on the morning of the third day, the combined forces set out again, targeting Sedrus in the southwest.
