In the morning, it was still the small city with an extremely important strategic position.

The bleak light poured down, unobstructed, and without much warmth. Or rather, there is, but it is directly driven away by the ubiquitous and non-stop cold wind.

The town is quiet, eerily quiet. No loud people could be heard, and no figures were seen walking around the streets. Only the half-opened doors and windows that have not yet been closed, as well as the various shop signs hanging outside, flutter in the wind and smoke from time to time, rattling, monotonous and harsh, adding a bit of dullness to the small town.

Of course, if you know that the owner of this town has become a Northern Barbarian, then this qiē is not surprising. After all, not long after the change of ownership, the war has just passed, and it is normal to reveal a dilapidated and silent atmosphere.

The city was not without the Brans, although the retreat had been timely, and most of the people had retreated to the rear. But there are always some people who are unwilling or unable to leave, such as the captured Bran soldiers, and the old people who don't want to die in a foreign land. However, although they are still alive and staying here, they naturally won't make any noise, let alone go shopping and the like......

In this way, the one who is wandering the streets of the small town now, of course, will not be a Bran.

Walking at will, turning when you see the road, entering the alley, and occasionally encountering a few shops with open doors, you will also go in to have a look...... As the supreme commander of the Northern Wilderness army who led hundreds of thousands of barbarians to launch a war this time, Lansha's current situation seems to be very leisurely.

Oh, maybe not. So, it's patrolling the territory?

I had no intention of wandering into the corner of the southern city where the prisoners were kept. looked at the officer in charge who came in a hurry. Feel the look of fear or resentment behind the doors and windows around you. Lansha pushed the frame, waved his hand, turned his head and left the place again.

The next stop is the southern city wall, where tribal soldiers are simply repairing the fortifications of the city wall, and of course, there are also Bran captives who have been forced to come and sell coolies. Similarly, shortly after Lansha's arrival, the barbarian officers in charge of the fortifications arrived in a sweat. After saluting respectfully, he was about to carefully report the progress of the repair, but he was brought over by Lan Sha in a few words, and quickly turned to leave......

Such a perfunctory attitude, no one wants to believe it when it comes to inspecting the territory. Finally, after going to the place a few more stops, Andre, who had been following not far away, finally couldn't help but wonder and approached: "Your Highness, you ...... Seems to be idle, huh?"

"Ahh......h It's a bit boring. As if he had just come back to his senses, Lan Sha stopped, stretched, and spread his hands at Andre, who hurriedly bowed his head to avoid suspicion. "It's strange? I'm bored here when the battle is raging right now. Doesn't it feel very irresponsible?"

"Well, of course not......"

"Ha, don't hide it, your expression has betrayed you. This is naturally a joke, but although the status is very different, in private, with the acquaintance of the two, this kind of joke is still no problem. Of course, it is generally Lansha who takes the initiative to provoke it.

He smiled and explained casually, "It's because of the fierce fight in front of me that I don't have much to do." This kind of sudden, large-scale frontal encounter can be left to the warriors, and I don't have much effect. ”

Andre nodded when he heard this, these words are not difficult to understand, with the current field situation in front, there is really no need for command and strategic strategy, and even those generals in the army, just let the tribal warriors go to fight, it is estimated that they can win.

However, this does not mean that Andre easily believed Lan Sha's explanation, paused, and still said: "But General Xiong, they invited you to come over early in the morning to discuss......

Waving his hand, "Okay, okay, you're the most suspicious." ”

"It's a professional habit and a virtue, Your Highness. ”

"Yo, you've been eloquent lately, so let's sue you secretly. After looking nervously to the left and right, creating a little sense of mystery, Lan Sha leaned in and whispered, "Because with them, no, safe, all!"

"Huh?" Andre was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression changed instantly, "Old General Xiong, among them...... There are traitors?!"

Lan Sha was also stunned, and looked at Andre who suddenly tightened his body with a smile: "Where do you want to go, your professional habits are too strong!Haha, it seems that I need to remind Xini after I go back this time, so that she must not look for a man outside...... Haha, it's so funny, no, no, no......"

Andre, who also felt that he was a little overreacting, looked at Lansha who was leaning forward and backwards with a smile, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly. Immediately, until Lan Sha's laughter gradually stopped, he asked seriously: "Your Highness, what did you mean by the insecurity you just ......said?"

"Hehe, just guessing, don't be nervous. Lan Sha, who finally couldn't hold back his smile, simply sat in front of the steps of the shop on the side, waving his hand indifferently, "This battle is full of weirdness, on the surface, our side has taken a big advantage." But don't forget, it was Bran who started this battle, and they would be so kind, so stupid...... Anyone can tell it's not normal, but until Bran doesn't really make a move, we can only guess. Well, Uncle Xiong, they have already guessed many possibilities, and they wanted to pull me over this morning to discuss this matter. But this seems to me ......"

After a pause, Lan Sha pursed the corners of his mouth, smiled, and shook his head, "There is no need! Because, guessing this kind of thing out of thin air is not only to give full play to your imagination, but also to consider the problem from the other party's point of view." ”

Turning his head to look at Andre, who was listening to the clouds and fog, his brows furrowed and trying to keep up with his thoughts, "You say, what does Bran want to do most now?"

"Uh...... Beat us?"

"Well, how can we be defeated in the current situation?"

"This ......" racked his brains for a long time, and finally Andrei gave up and shook his head, "I really can't think of it." There's no way they're going to beat us, though!"

"Okay, then a different angle, a different question. Lansha continued, "Why do you think they can't defeat us?"

The question is simple, and he said without hesitation, "because our morale is high at the moment." Warriors swear to the death. The battle situation also occupies an absolute advantage of victory...... That's right. And most importantly, we have you, Your Highness!" There is no reason, let alone a long analysis to support it. But in the latter sentence, Andrei said it categorically. Moreover, he dared to swear by the barbarian god, this is definitely not a horse slap!

Lan Sha smiled: "Hehe, when it comes to the key point, because of me...... Tut. It's not a taste, it sounds like it's narcissistic and boastful. It's better to put it another way - because there is the supreme commander of the Northern Wilderness Army. ”

Andrei was confused: "Huh...... Is there a difference between this? Your Highness, aren't you the supreme commander of the Northern Wilderness Army?"

"Generally speaking, of course, there is a difference, but people are different. But if you look at Bran strategically, it makes no difference...... Haven't figured it out yet, think about it, if Bran's army is facing an army in the Northern Wilderness without a supreme commander...... What will happen?"

"How is it possible, Your Highness is joking......" Andre subconsciously shook his head in denial when he heard this, an army does not have a supreme commander, is it still called an army? There is also a leader of bandits and rabble...... Suddenly. Combined with the first question Lan Sha asked just now, a thought was extremely abrupt and crossed into his mind. Immediately afterwards, the bottom of the heart was cool, and the body trembled instantly, paralyzing the scalp...... Bang, unconsciously taking a step back, Andre looked like a ghostly look, and said in a trembling voice, "Bububu, Bran...... I want to kill Your Highness!"

"Such a big reaction...... It's just a guess, don't be so nervous. Frightened by Andre's fierce reaction, Lan Sha sighed a little helplessly, and then raised his hand and pushed the frame, "Besides, it's an enemy, just like we wanted to kill Zi Yi before, isn't it normal for Bran to want to kill me." ”

Andre stepped back and waved excitedly: "This is different!"

"Ha, do you finally realize that it's different?" As if seeing the stubborn apprentice finally enlightened, Lansha, the mentor who followed the good path, seemed very relieved, and patted the steps beside him, "Sit down and talk, I'm always tired of looking up like you...... The situation is indeed different. The structure of the armies of the Northern Wilderness and Bran is very different, and our warriors rely too much on authority, that is, orders from above. During the war, there were generals killed in the Bran army, and although it would also be chaotic, there would soon be adjutant generals on top to command the battle. And if our Northern Wilderness army dies in wartime, the generals ...... The warriors will continue to fight, but there will be many problems, and in the end, it is likely that it will turn into a scattered sand, and the battles that could have been won will also be lost. ”

"That's our disadvantage, Bran knows it well. Therefore, after I became the supreme commander, my mother strictly blocked the news, just because she was worried that my whereabouts information would be exposed, which would lead to the assassination of Bran...... After all, killing one person can end a war involving the lives and deaths of more than a million people and the danger of losing their country, which is too cost-effective. ”

Looking at the tavern sign waving in the wind across the street, Lansha's tone was light, chuckling from time to time, and even laughing at himself, as if he was not talking about his own life and death, it was very casual, "From now on, it seems that we have done a good job of secrecy, and Bran should not have confirmed my identity yet." Hehe, it's because of this that they have to start casting their nets and casting bait......"

"This encounter?" said Andrei, who was not a stupid man, and said the answer with great bitterness when he heard this. The excitement that had been brought about by the fruitful results of this battle was swept away in an instant.

"Yes, a big deal, you know, it won't do Blanco any good, but it will exacerbate the casualties of the army, and make the shape worse. Well, I don't know who came up with this idea, it's extraordinary......" sighed with emotion, and continued, "Once the battle starts, the situation will become chaotic, and the army scheduling, monitoring the battle situation in various places, judging and choosing military orders, etc., all need to be checked and responsible for the wartime high command formed by me and Uncle Xiong." And by collecting feedback from these actions and following the vine, it is likely that we can deduce where we are now. ”

Lansha pointed to his feet, but Andre subconsciously scanned the surroundings, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, very vigilant and cautious, as if the Bran assassin had already found him.

"Your Highness, either we, we ......"

As if he didn't feel Andre's nervousness at all, Lan Sha asked with a smile, "Can't go on?"

Andre really can't go on, if Lan Sha is an ordinary person, even if she is a general, Andre dares to persuade her to escape from the battle and protect her life. But the actual situation is that Lan Sha is His Royal Highness, the pearl of the Northern Wilderness, and the next empress of the Northern Wilderness tribe if nothing else. He is also the supreme commander who is currently commanding hundreds of thousands of troops.

So. She couldn't escape. You can't retreat, you can only sit in this supreme command, stay still, and meet the wind and rain!

"Look, even you can't talk anymore, how dare I tell Uncle Xiong these speculations. So, it's better to stay away from them, and I'm just wandering the streets like this. Even if I collide with the Assassin Nabran now, he won't think I'm a big deal. But if I get together with Uncle Xiong and his group of generals, then I'll be in danger, haha......"

Smiling heartlessly, Andre didn't have such a relaxed mood: "Your Highness, we have to make some preparations...... By the way, what did An Shuai do before, didn't he succeed in being assassinated by Bran?"

Lan Sha waved his hand: "The situation between the teacher and me is a little different, at that time, although the Bran border shape shì was still passive, they had Ziyi. Fearless and confident. That's why I'm not so enthusiastic about this kind of assassination. "And because An Shuai led the Northern Wilderness army to invade for decades, he still couldn't do anything with Bran, so Bran didn't look down on An Shuai...... Of course, about this, Lan Sha, who has a master and apprentice with An Shuai, naturally will not say it.

After a pause, he comforted, "Again, don't be nervous, it's just my guess." And even if this speculation is true, don't you still have protection......" Wanting to say something, Lan Sha smiled and shook his head, "Hehe, don't worry, I'm not so easy to be assassinated." ”

Having said that, he got up, and Andre still said firmly: "No, after I go back, I will strengthen the guards, surround the city lord's mansion, and protect His Highness!"

"Ha, isn't that the same as suing the assassin that I'm there?"

"I ...... I'm going to keep it hidden so that people don't see it from the outside. ”

"Didn't that attract assassins to assassinate one after another?"

"I ...... Your Highness!" Looking at Lan Sha who was constantly carrying, it was still very reasonable, and Andre was helpless.

Lansha laughed: "Haha, relax. You should think that even the assassination trick that can't be used shows that Bran's side has been forced to do nothing, and we are not far from the dawn of victory. ”

"I can't say anything about you, anyway, whatever Your Highness says makes sense. With such a master, Andre, who has always been extremely respectful, rolled his eyes angrily and said with resentment.

"Hehe, that's because I have a point. Responding with a smile, Lan Sha turned his head in confusion, and looked in the direction of the south city gate, where there was a noise, it was very lively, and he was stunned, "No, right...... Could it be that the Bran assassins have already been killed?"

Lan Sha, who is not proficient in martial arts, can find that something is wrong, and Andre is naturally faster, and his face instantly sank: "Your Highness, let's go back immediately!"

Despite his casual attitude towards the assassination, he did not think that the Assassin who had high hopes from the Bran Empire would be so inferior, and was discovered as soon as he came. But when it came to safety, Lansha quickly got up from the steps in a cooperative manner. It's not a disagreement, it's not fear, it's respect for Andre and the other guards. After all, her identity is enough to make her life involved with a number of people and a number of strict situations. One is prosperous, one is lost!

However, this time it was obviously in vain. Without waiting for Lan Sha and his party to return to the City Lord's Mansion, that is, the headquarters, they met the scouts who rushed towards them.

"Your Excellency, Your Highness Tiu has arrived outside the city, and the General has ordered me to inform you to come and greet you. "It's a normal tone and attitude, it's impossible for a scout of this level to know Lansha's true identity.

"Brother...... Your Highness?" Lansha and Andre looked at each other, both stunned. With their identity, it is impossible for Tiu to come back without knowing it. But now he is so surprised, which can only mean that this Tiu did not inform anyone, and this is an impromptu intention.

Immediately, different reactions. Lan Sha was very happy and ordered to turn around and go to the south gate. Andre frowned slightly, as if he felt that something was wrong......

......

......

At this time, on the mountain road more than 100 kilometers away from the small city.

It's appreciated, and it feels different...... Tang En, who stroked the green hair of the giant wolf under him, looked around with a big grin, and was in a very good mood. Especially when I saw those Dark Serpent Guards who looked indignant and could only run forward on their legs, they felt that the weather was sunny and the cold wind had become much warmer.

Don is still delivering information, but unlike the usual scouts before, he is now a person with status. According to the envy of the Temur people, that is, he is going to be developed.

The person who was called the general last night was none other than the supreme commander of that army, the general of Zhennan, Hugula. He admired Donn's bravery, and promised to promote him to a squadron leader in the Guards when he returned from this mission.

Of course, Don was not interested in this promotion, but he was very satisfied with the additional benefits of this promotion. Not to mention anything else, take this mission as an example, although it is the same to send information, but unlike the previous drilling, he now has a seat, and under him is a strong and fierce giant wolf wearing green armor!

This is the elite class of the Northern Wilderness, the standard mount of the Wilderness Wolf Ride, and also the mount of some officers and generals. It stands to reason that neither Donne's previous status as an ordinary scout nor his status as a squadron leader of the Guards after being reported is eligible for such a mount. But now he is sitting in a dignified position, which can also show the importance of the barbarian general to him.

In response to this weight, although his current status in this intelligence team is not the highest, no one dares to offend. The Serpent Guards who accompanied him hated him so much that they had to bow their heads in submission after he cast his gaze.

Tang En didn't care if these Dark Serpent Guards surrendered, what he cared about was that with this layer of tiger skin, he would have a lot less trouble, which was undoubtedly beneficial to the plan.

Well, that's a good sign......
