Allegri and Dios, riding horses in the city.

As the war drew to a close, most of the remaining Ferenman defenders chose to abandon their weapons and surrender. As the news of the capture of the city lord spread, they gave up their resistance altogether and let the soldiers of the Western Route Army escort him to the prisoner camp.

"There should be a period of peace next," Dios said casually, looking at the houses with closed doors along the roadside, "and even if there is a war, it will be a small-scale military operation centered on this city to encroach on the enemy's controlled districts." ”

"yes, I can finally get some rest. Allegri nodded and said, this period of military life has made his cheeks have obvious sunken, and his complexion has darkened a lot. Due to neglect, a short stiff stubble came out, and long black hair was draped over his shoulders, like a dusty adventurer.

"And one more question," said Dios, who looked back at the frightened faces behind the windowpanes along the street, "Could it be that you really have a crush on the Marquis Ferenman's family estate?"

"No," replied Allegri, shaking his head, "I have taken a fancy to him as a person. ”

"No wonder," said Dios, smiling dumbly, "it is true that the valley should have some men, but it is not easy to get them from the military headquarters. ”

"Send the boy back to the valley first," Allegri confessed, "and as for Ferenman himself, let him stay in the prisoner camp for a while, for General Ebert will surely eat and drink well anyway." ”

The two of them talked and walked, preparing to report back to the headquarters. It was past noon, the sky was overcast, and the fire in the city gradually stopped, leaving only billowing smoke rising into the sky.

Groups of soldiers of the Western Route Army patrolled back and forth on the main road. Except for the dejected surrenders. It is difficult to see pedestrians on the streets, and most of them hide in their homes and do not dare to go out to avoid being affected by the rebels.

In reality, though, it's useless. Small Snowton troops, like hungry wolves, roamed all corners of the city. Glossy mansions and shops are the highest priority. They swung their weapons and broke into the door. Search everywhere for belongings, and if the owner dares to resist, he will be beaten severely. Fortunately, King Nacini had already ordered that he should not be slaughtered at will, so that these guys could be restrained, but the evil deeds of killing people and tyrannizing women also happened from time to time.

Because Allegri and Dios were both officers, the fierce soldiers were respectful in front of them. Get out of the way, salute and see the two of them leave, before continuing the raid just now.

This is the tradition of Snowton's army, and Allegri is not in a position to comment on it. But when he heard the faint crying and begging for mercy, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. But what can it be? Speaking of which, the tragic fate of the people of Fehrman was caused by him. If it weren't for the "Wrath of Vulcan" blasting through the walls, the ferocious Snowton wolves. Right now, he's still wandering outside the city.

"Commander Allegri," the herald with a small flag on his back. Lerma stopped in front of the two of them and said loudly, "The marshal has ordered that before seven o'clock in the evening, all the troops must return to the camp, and those who are overdue." Military Judge Advocate ...... In addition, officers at the rank of squadron leader and above immediately rushed to the headquarters to sign in, and the location was at the former Ferenman City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Ordered. Allegri gave a military salute on his horse and asked for the direction of the city lord's mansion. So he turned his horse's head with Dios and whipped away.

The Western Route Army's capture of Ferunman City was a good thing for the entire Southern Campaign.

The city is located on the border between the Duchy of Ian and the Torm Federation, and is built on a hill with difficult terrain. The Western Route Army was stationed here, which could not only threaten Torm so that he would not dare to act rashly, but also protect the flank of the Central Route Army against the roundabout tactics of the Holy See of Light.

In addition, after the Western Route Army completely took control of the city of Ferunman, it began to send small forces to seize strategic points nearby. On several occasions, Allegri personally led the "Wrath of Vulcan" on expeditions and captured several large cities in the south. On this basis, Ebert built a line of defense that was beginning to take shape. Several cities, each at the corner of each other, each stationed 5,000 to 10,000 soldiers, greatly strengthening the strategic depth.

The headquarters of the Southern Expeditionary Army, which received the good news, once again exerted its strength. On the one hand, Carter Roman's army marched westward, trying to connect with Ebert's army. On the other hand, after capturing Levenshire, the Eastern Route Army continued southward, marching side by side with Davide's Central Route Army, planning to capture a large area north of the St. Imas River in the next month.

In the process, a large number of young officers stood out and were promoted and reused by King Nachinani. And some generals who are inextricably linked to the aristocratic forces were deliberately arranged in the rear. They guard that little bit of merit every day, watching other people's names on the military merit book rub upwards, it is really uncomfortable as much as it is.

"Your Majesty, they are about to take it anymore. In the king's tent, Mordschic unfolded the paper scroll flat, and the dense characters were the code agreed in advance, and even if others got it, they couldn't understand the mysteries in it.

"Patience is insufficient," said King Nacini, leaning back in his chair, "many of the methods we have prepared have not yet been used. ”

"Perhaps the fellows have learned that the king is going to set up another bureaucracy in the south, and that they have put aside their plans altogether," thought Modescic, "and they are well informed." ”

"I deliberately said it at the banquet a few days ago," King Nacini added, with a twinkle in his eyes, "and the attendees are all veterans of the war. ”

"I see. Mordecic immediately understood what he meant.

"In the Southern Expeditionary Army, the Eighth and Tenth Legions are responsible for guarding the Anlan, no, the Duchy of Borriello, and the Liujin Merchants," King Nacini corrected the mistake in his words and pushed the note forward on the case, "General Cartroman's absence, you go directly to the General Staff Headquarters...... On this list, I listed a few old generals, and you said that I could not bear to see them sleeping on the front lines, so I transferred them to these two regiments. ”

"Yes," Mordschic asked, bowing down, "and what about the two Legionnaires?"

"Don't worry too much," said King Nacini, "they would like to go to the front and make a difference." ”

"I'll try to do as little as I can," Modusic nodded, and before leaving the tent, he asked one last question, "Do you need to inform Count Allegri about this?"

King Nacini pondered for a moment and waved his hand.
