The next day, early in the morning.

On the north bank of the Lenau River, large tidal flats loom in the thick of a veil-like morning mist, looking vast and desolate.

Farther away, the gentle river water follows the eternal route pattern, superimposing forces, constantly lapping the riverside embankment, and also shaking those large and small boats that are docked on the shore in a row and cannot see the edge at a glance.

If you have good eyesight, you can see the boats walking back and forth from the edge of the tidal flats. Of course, those figures with big shoulders and round waists, and a body that is obviously larger than a normal Bran, are obviously not fishermen......

In fact, it is precisely like this, the place where these people beg for a life is not in the current river, but on the battlefield that is perennially filled with swords and swords, bloody rain and bloody wind, they are the Northern Wilderness barbarians whose individual combat ability is the highest in the mainland!

However, perhaps it is precisely because of the difference in the main battlefield that these warriors, who used to be unscrupulous on land, now look extremely uncomfortable when stepping on the planks of the ship with a smooth foot and a little flickering frequency from side to side. From time to time, on the ship that could come back from the distant waters, I saw a figure lying on the edge of the ship's side, bowing its head, spitting something in a big gulp......

"It's just a riverside area, and after trying to prepare for more than a week, still can't you get used to it?" On the mound high ground on the outskirts of the tidal flat, Lan Sha frowned and looked depressed as he looked at the one that happened in the distance.

"Back to Your Highness, tribal warriors are accustomed to fighting on the mountain plains. We really didn't have much experience in water warfare, almost none, and the soldiers felt very uncomfortable. The tribal officer on the side replied awkwardly. "But rest assured, Your Highness. Give us some more time. The Warriors will definitely be able to overcome this problem......"

"Give you some more time?" Glancing at the embarrassed officer, Lansha made no secret of the displeasure on his face. This was not for the immediate predicament, but because of the perfunctory attitude of the officer next to him. She is not a vase character, she has previously strategized and led the army to break through the border checkpoints in Brando one after another, and she knows very well that with the current situation of the tribal soldiers, even if she is given another month, the situation will not get better.

It's not a matter of time at all, it's that tribal warriors are really not good at water warfare.

But even if this officer is a bit overbearing. But the starting point is always responsible, so Lansha will not directly discourage him. With a light snort, he shook his head and vetoed: "The plan for the battle of crossing the river has been set a long time ago, we don't have time to continue waiting, we must come up with other solutions to ......"

Before Lan Sha's words fell, an unceremonious question suddenly came from behind him, "So, after today, you will still attack as originally planned, right?"

You don't need to turn your head, just listen to the voice, Lan Sha knows who is walking behind him. The pretty face instantly turned cold, "This is not the Gray Army." You are not the leader of my tribe. Miss Josia, you've crossed the line!"

"You know the consequences of the attack very well!" Josia, who walked up the mound to Lansha's side, looked even more unceremonious, his eyes glancing like knives, "There is no news coming, at this time you order to attack, do you want to kill him?"

As Wu Ding thought, once the Northern Wilderness tribe crossed the river and invaded, Xia Wei'an's captive value would be infinitely reduced, and even Tang En's situation would be extremely passive. In this case, if Don forces his hand again...... Well, that's almost certain. Don would have come to the rescue, no matter what the circumstances, but the odds of success would be even slimmer.

After a pause, Lansha turned his head away from Josia's gaze, "You should go and tell my mother these words." Will it kill him, and give the order to attack...... It's not for me to decide. ”

Josia's eyes were gray when she heard this, and she said in an accentuated tone, "That's right, she's your mother—"

"That's right, but she's the Empress of the Northern Wilderness!"

A battle of concise words, followed by a long period of silence.

What else can be said? From the moment the empress left the Imperial City of the Northern Wilderness and traveled thousands of miles to the army, it became different.

To put it simply, it is a difference in position, and Josia's focus from beginning to end is someone's safety, so she is the last thing she wants to see the Northern Wilderness troops cross the river to fight. At least not until someone succeeds and leaves the southern continent safely.

Sadly, the situation is not under her control. The person who really controls the overall situation is the Empress of the Northern Wilderness, and there is no need to say anything about her position. Truth be told, a month's delay of the horde army here on the North Shore was beyond the limits of what she could tolerate. Next, she will take over the battle and plant the banner of the Northern Wilderness tribe on the south bank.

As for Lan Sha, his mental position is the most complicated and helpless. She was equally worried about someone, and she was just as proud of the tribe......

There's no choice, is there?

Halfway through, Josia took a slight breath, straightened her shoulders and back, and took the lead in breaking the silence, her tone soft and firm: "If the final result is that you kill him, I swear - we will never let you go!"

It's you, not you. It's us, not me. This is an official ultimatum from the leader of the Grey Army to His Highness the Northern Wilderness Tribe!

It can also be seen as a necessary warning before the possibility of war!

Or, threats?

Lan Sha understood, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he raised his fingers: "I like this sentence, and I like your attitude even more." At the very least, it makes me feel like I'm looking at you for a reason other than first-come, first-served. Hehe......"

Smiling, Lan Sha suddenly turned his head, "But, as a lover, you can't do enough...... Don't be in a hurry to argue, I admit that you care about him, but are you underestimating his ability?"

Josia frowned instantly, but she was very patient, calmly waiting for Arashira to continue, "You know, I gave him a month to rescue him, and the deadline is today. Oh, what a coincidence, I didn't expect that the time limit I gave would coincide with the auspicious day of the coronation of the new king of Nabulan...... Perhaps, this is providence. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Lan Sha glanced sideways at Josia, then retracted his gaze and opened his arms to look into the distance, "The stage has been set up, it is very grand and luxurious, it is rare to see in a hundred years...... I've always been lucky, and this time, I'm betting that he'll put on a great show on this stage!"

Following Lan Sha's line of sight to look at the vast river in the distance, and the red rising sun that had just poked out half of its head, that is, the bright face of the river, Josia pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and only said after a moment, "I hope it is as you wish." ”

"It must be as I wish!" Lan Sha was in high spirits, guiding the party from afar, "Although my tribe's army has not yet attacked the south bank, the spies sent have already spread their eyelines all over the other side. They have been ordered by me to keep an eye on the temple association. Once I find a movement, it will take half a day, or at most half a day, and the news will reach me...... Well, I'll be waiting here all day today, how about you?"

Josia squinted at the south, unheard, silent. Seeing this, Lan Sha shook his head and laughed, waved his hand to the guards on the side and said, "Go, move two chairs, and bring two breakfasts......

......

It was also early in the morning, and the sun was rising.

Brando, contrary to the solemn and solemn tense atmosphere in recent times, when the sky has just been flushed with a white belly in the early morning, the square city gate is undefended and opens early.

In the city, the lanterns are as if they are a festival, and the doors and windows on both sides of the road are wide open, and the crowds are crowded.

Outside the city, the ten-mile canopy velvet carpet, the trees on both sides of the hundred-mile official road are all red lings, and the wind is swaying like a hospitable welcome. It's clearly the end of winter, but I don't know what magic means are used, and there are all kinds of petals, and the wind is dazzling......

Needless to say, it is a good auspicious day for the new king and the eldest prince to go to the temple to accept the coronation and enthronement of the pope!

I have to say that perhaps because of the dangerous situation in the past two years of turmoil and constant fire in the empire, the people in the capital have been more or less depressed, and Yan zhòng lacks a sense of security. Therefore, the eldest prince chose to be crowned and crowned at this time and called the emperor king, which was like a shot in the arm, which instantly detonated the enthusiasm of the ordinary people.

Even if the latter do not know what benefits the former's coronation will bring to their lives or change anything, it does not affect their affection.

No, you know, sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness. Just like the truth that blindness can be exchanged for a long time......

At this time, at the gate of the royal castle, as a line of gorgeous honor guards slowly walked out of the palace gate, cheers and applause suddenly resounded all over the world, like thunder rolling down from the sky, and the momentum was instantly magnificent!

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the team's safety?"

"Your Highness rest assured...... Worship of the royal family...... Protecting ...... at all times"

"What are you talking about? I can't hear you...... Hell!" in the middle of the procession, under the canopy of ornate floats. While holding back the noise in his heart, maintaining his demeanor, and constantly smiling and waving his hand at the cheering and jumping people on both sides of the road, the eldest prince twitched the corners of his mouth and asked repeatedly, "Did you find that damn guy...... I asked, "That, a, should, die, stab, stab!"

"Go back to Your Highness, and return it for the time being...... Not yet. ”

"Waste! Idiot! Idiot!"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness...... Word came from the temple that they were fully prepared. As long as our side speeds up and enters their control range as soon as possible, there will be no problem. ”

"Hmph, after looking for so many days, you can't even catch an assassin and dare to say that there is no problem......? Call...... Pass the order down and speed up the procession. ”

"Yes...... But Your Highness, the roads are blocked by the people, and the city cannot be accelerated......"

"Damn !!"
