Under normal circumstances, after a tentative action such as testing the water, the next step is to lay out a big battle of carriages and horses.

However, there are occasional surprises, such as the current situation in the capital. After deciding the winner in a game called 'The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada, the Yellow Sparrow Follows', Wooding simply took Wensling back to the mountain, and Donn, the ill-intentioned assassin, stayed in the capital with peace of mind. Neither side made any next move, as if nothing had happened, and the wind was calm.

This situation is undoubtedly weird, but if you think about it, it is perfectly normal.

Because of the affairs of the Northern Wilderness tribe, Wu Ding was no longer firm in the idea of sending people north to capture Josia alive. Now Don has played a very beautiful assassination under his nose, and has successfully proved that he does have the ability to threaten King Bran. Wu Ding also had to seriously consider the consequences of forcing Tang En to go crazy. Thinking about it this way, the idea of going north is undoubtedly even weaker......

It's much the same for Donne's side, who is naturally at a disadvantage in the clash with Woodin. There is no way, the strength is not good, and it is resentful. Don't look at him playing such a beautiful hand under Woodin's nose, but that's actually walking a tightrope. Once the two of them are facing each other, Don is going to lie down. Fortunately, the hiding skills are good, and you don't have to worry about being found out by the other party, you can make a thin needle that is not easy to be detected, but it is very threatening!

In this way, if Woodin doesn't take the initiative to find trouble, Don will have to burn high incense. Naturally, he didn't dare to make any more inches and force the sword god to go crazy......

Wacky balance!

Each is worried that the other will go crazy, and each is restraining itself not to go crazy first.

Therefore, it is actually quite good to feel that there is nothing to do with each other. So let's leave it at that......

But. Where is there absolute equilibrium in the world? As long as external factors interfere. This strange balance has to reveal its fragile nature. It's just a little unexpected that it was not the weak Don who was forced to strike first, but the Woodin who took the initiative and the Bran Empire, which has always been strong......

......

North, front, bloodstained land.

From the moment the Northern Wilderness army officially crossed the Bran border, there was blood and dead people here almost every second. The thick smell of blood in the air that made the scalp tingle tingle, even though the cold wind of the North continued to blow, did not diminish even for a moment.

This was the case. For both sides of a small fight every three years and a big war every five years, they have become accustomed to it. It was nothing more than the barbarians going to war, attacking, Bran defending, the two sides stalemate, and finally the barbarians retreated. Then they each went back to recuperate and recuperate, and then chose an auspicious day for the zodiac to start the war again...... The same rhythm has been repeated for hundreds of years, and it has never changed.

Perhaps, even the gods can't stand this boring and boring drama, and secretly changes something. So this year the situation was a little different, and from the moment the war began, Bran's army fought especially hard......

Zichen Legion Defense Area, a former army command post.

The Great Sword Regiment of the Third Division of the Second Army was besieged in Bal'er Mountain. Urgent need for reinforcements!"

"Well, haven't you already sent a pikes regiment and an elite tomahawk battalion?"

The pikemen regiment of the 3rd Division was five kilometers south of Bald Mountain when it was attacked by a large group of barbarians. Heavy losses......"

Ten kilometers west of Bald Mountain, the elite tomahawk battalion that went to the rescue was ambushed by the barbarians, and it was in urgent need of rescue ......."

"Where is the heavy cavalry brigade of the first army, the target is Bald Mountain, kill me!"

......

"Report! The First Army Heavy Cavalry Brigade ......"

"What the fuck is going on?"

"Report to the General! The First Heavy Cavalry Brigade reported that they had been entangled by the Wild Wolves, an elite unit of the barbarians, shortly after their departure, and that they might not be able to reach the rescue site within the allotted time. ”

“......”

"Report! The Great Sword Regiment of the Third Division of the Second Army is surrounded in Bal'er Mountain, and it is waiting for ...... urgently."

There was a loud bang, and in the command post, the simple wooden table where the tactical topographic map was placed shook and creaked, as if it would be slapped on it in the next moment.

"Urgent...... Urgently waiting for rescue......" The angry voice gradually faded, and the scout stood in the middle of the officers at the command post with his head bowed and his hands down, nervous.

The chest heaved and he wheezed. Standing up, General Zichen, who was wearing high-grade standard armor, hurriedly walked back and forth in front of the wooden table, and laughed angrily, "Lure the enemy deep, trap the lone army, and fight the reinforcements to the death...... It seems that the simple-minded barbarians have really grown their hearts and eyes, and they have all started to play tricks with me...... I'm cǎo!"

"General, this is not normal!" Seeing that his general was showing signs of madness, an officer hurriedly walked out, "Even if the other party is determined to trap the lone army and fight the reinforcements to the death, he will not be so fast, step by step ahead of us." ”

"What do you want to say, are the barbarians roundworms in my stomach?

"Uh...... I'm afraid it's really the Divine Eye......"

The body shook, the general seemed to think of something, stunned, and only after a moment did he wave his hand and say angrily: "Bullshit God's Eye! It's just an alchemy thing played by a child, and a barbarian is still a treasure, I'm sorry!"

Although he said this, he was very disdainful in his words, but there was still a stupid envy in the look of the general who returned to the table.

As for the object of envy, it is naturally the divine eye. Of course, this is not to say that the barbarian really opened the Divine Eye, but a military item called the Savage Divine Eye held in the hands of the barbarian officer.

Just a few days ago, when this thing officially appeared in front of the eyes of Commander Zhongbran, it instantly caused a stir.

The structure of this thing is very simple, just a bamboo tube and a few round lenses. But it was such an inconspicuous thing that became the dead dream of the Bran officers. It is not an exaggeration to say that the reason why Bran is in such a passive situation at the moment is due to the fact that this thing has a lot of credit in it.

Because, as long as you put it in front of your eyes, even a person with bad eyes can easily see the distant situation that cannot be observed by the naked eye.

They are all people who have been on the battlefield for most of their lives, and such good things are undoubtedly the dreams of all the Bran officers. As soon as I figured out what this thing was for, my eyes lit up, and it instantly became clear that this effect could have a huge effect on the battlefield.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is almost transformative!

For example, right now, when the eyes are dark here, the other party can see their movements from a distance through the wild divine eye of guò, and then calmly arrange a response strategy to attack the reinforcements, resulting in the current situation of taking the lead step by step with divine help......

Immediately, after knowing that in the barbarian army, as long as a leader has this thing, Bran's side immediately became nervous. While collecting information about this thing in a large area, he quickly looked for the alchemy master to see if he could copy it in batches......

There's a digression here.

Leaving aside the progress of the latter's imitation for the time being, what the former investigated made the officers of the Bran can't help but feel angry.

This thing is very popular in the Northern Wilderness, saying that the great god of the wilderness can't bear to suffer from the defeat of his people again, so he jointly invented it with the help of the little princess of the royal family in the Northern Wilderness and an alchemist named Matthew Man from the royal craftsman to benefit all people. Hence the name Savage Eyes......

To simplify, this thing was made by the little princess of the Northern Wilderness and a man named Matthew Man.

The little princess of the Northern Wilderness or something is okay, but after knowing that Matthew Man is actually a Bran, how can the Bran officers not be angry? The general idea is that we dare to be beaten here constantly, it turns out that you are a traitor who has cheated us, it's a shame!

As everyone knows, the barbarians are also very dissatisfied with this, in their opinion, the little princess of the royal family is favored by the barbarian gods, which is a matter of course. Moreover, the little princess has long been regarded as the pride of all the people of the Northern Wilderness, and she has this qualification! But what is the matter with an old man Bran mixed in? It was not until later that a rumor gradually spread, saying that this was really the deep meaning of the barbarian god, that is, to fight Bran with the hands of the Bran people. Coupled with the fact that it is said that the little princess herself insisted on bringing this old man Bran and signing the name of this wild god eye, this uproar gradually dissipated......

Well, let's leave the details out for now. Let's just say that at the moment, General Zichen, who understands the other party's intentions, does not make a painful decision before there are greater losses, calls back the heavy cavalry brigade, and instead reinforces the elite tomahawk battalion that is being ambushed. As for the Great Sword Regiment that was surrounded in Bald Mountain, and the Spear Regiment that rushed to the rescue, they could only choose to give up strategically......

This is war!
