At the beginning of June, the warm summer wind began to give off the humidity of the rainy season, drizzling, although the Mossander region gathered more than 300,000 troops on both sides, but because of the arrival of the rainy season, there was a rare balance, the southwest army launched several feints, were repulsed by the opposite northwest army, and the northwest army's focus was still Stanley Spencer's Janissary Army,

The cavalry in the northwest has ignored the southwest army several times, and directly sent nomadic cavalry clusters to fire strings of night arrows, which came like the wind in the dark night, covering the camp of the Praetorian Guards with death, or using Thor to shoot alone, and arrogantly launched a point shot at the camp of the Praetorian Guard at a distance of several hundred meters, "boom" The sound of artillery can be transmitted far away at night, watching a cannonball dragging a bare tail and finally bursting like a flower in the camp of the Praetorian Guard in Kyoto, not far away The soldiers of the Southwest Army were still worried at first, but soon found that the other party seemed to be only interested in the Janissaries, and became fearless, the Southwest Army guarded the gate of the empire for several generations, and most of the Southwesterners were brave and brave, and it was also because of the fat man who did not lose money that he was killed by the pit, and in the hands of Murphy Oone, the morale of the Southwest Army quickly recovered,

They sat high in the camp in groups, pointing at the cannonballs that streaked across the night sky like beautiful meteors, and every night, the Northwest army on the opposite side seemed to be happy about it, although it was small in size and caused limited casualties, but it also made Stanley Binder's Praetorian Guard begin to tremble in the night.

Most of these Praetorian Guards from Kyoto are lords of Kyoto, with titles on their bodies, and when they go there, they are followed by more or less subordinate knights, even if they are beaten like a water dog by the Northwest Army in the Sona River, and as a result, in front of the local Southwest Army, they immediately put on a swaggering appearance,

Several considerable clashes broke out between the two sides. In order to avoid the contradiction between the two armies from continuing to expand, Murphy Boone personally presided over a military meeting and ordered the more than 100,000 southwest troops to be divided into two routes, 60,000 all the way, and the left flank of the 50,000 Praetorian Guards densely scattered in Stanley Spencer, and the other 110,000 people set up an array of left and right containment, since they could not fight. The Southwest Army became more powerful than the Praetorian Guard.

Every morning, the camp of the Southwest Army was full of flags fluttering during training, and the spears were like snow, and the black pressure was overwhelming, almost covering the original color of the land in the summer of June, and correspondingly, the camp of the Praetorian Guards was scattered with two or three small birds, for unknown reasons. In recent days, the Praetorian Guard has had an outbreak of a plague that is not strict but rapidly expanding, and the plague is manifested in vomiting and diarrhea, and the face is blue. The soldiers were shaking their hands and feet and could not hold their weapons tightly, and the plague was menacing, and even Stanley Spencer, the commander of the army, was not spared.

The sturdy commander had lost weight in just a few days. Some say that this is a curse on the Praetorian Guard by the soldiers of the Fourth Legion who died in the Sona River, and it is no wonder that there are such rumors. After the battle of the Sona River, the Fourth Army of the Gallic Empire was completely lost, but the tens of thousands of Janissaries from Kyoto were not damaged at all, some people have long said that the Janissaries forcibly drove the soldiers of the Fourth Legion into the Sona River, the attack was unfavorable, and they left the Fourth Legion to flee for their lives, as a result, all the 100,000 soldiers of the Gallic Empire died in the river, and it is said that on the bank of the river, as long as it is night, you can hear the terrible cry of ghosts

Algernon Julia's entry into the Southwest did not attract the attention of Murphy Obon, except for a very few people who knew the inside story. In his opinion, these tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards have already finished ahead of schedule, or some of them are well-equipped and well-trained, but most of the Praetorian Guard soldiers are already weak, even if the five thousand Janissaries are withdrawn from Rose, it will not be able to affect the overall situation, of course, if he knows that among the people who have withdrawn this time, there is the ruthless role of Algernon Julia, the chief of the Emperor's Majesty, or he will not be so complacent, in the far northwest, Algernon Giulia is enough to represent His Majesty the Emperor, this is part of the plan

Because of the plague, Stanley Spencer recuperated in the southwestern capital, and Algernon Julia was dressed in men's clothes, and her hair was in her helmet, and on the night of her entry into the city, she immediately went to Stanley Spencer at No. 26 Main Street to ask for an appointment, and with her was a doctor in the Praetorian Guard, who, after giving his false name, saw Stanley Spencer, who looked frail.

"Miss Julia!" Looking at the men's beauty who walked into the room, Stanley Spencer's face was furled, and he wanted to get off the bed with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, but was stopped by Algernon Giulia with a wave of his hand, and said, "I heard that the adult is sick, and I specially led a doctor, hoping to help the adult's condition!"

"Doctor, it's not a big deal, I've already seen a doctor, but it's because of eating unclean food that causes diarrhea," Stanley Binsai said disapprerovingly, lying on the bed

"Do you know what kind of unclean food it is?" said Algernon Julia, sitting down across from her, with a stern expression,

"I don't know, but as a soldier, it's inevitable to fight in the field, eat and sleep in the open, and naturally I don't pay so much attention to it! Stanley Spencer spoke very respectfully in front of Algernon Julia, this is a close minister of the Emperor's Majesty, and it is even rumored that if it were not unwilling, this daughter of the Algernon family is expected to become the third princess of the Algernon family, and may even become the noble queen of the empire.

"Since it's an arrangement, no one can guarantee that it will succeed, Master Stanley takes it too seriously"

Algernon Julia smiled beautifully, and when she saw the people's heartbeat, she continued: "The Vicchia falcon is indeed powerful, it struck the east and west, quietly entered the country, and then the army crossed hundreds of miles, and quietly let the soldiers suppress Sende, so that I was embarrassed and had to choose to retreat on my own."

Algernon Julia's voice stopped, his mouth pursed slightly, and he said with a little disdain, "But unfortunately, he is also a mediocre talent who is too merciful for the untouchables, tens of thousands of elite cavalry actually take into account the lives of the untouchables, and see our army get out of the southwest safely, if it were me, I would definitely not hesitate to order all the civilians to be killed, even the people and things were trampled into minced meat, missed this opportunity, I promise to make him regret it extremely!"

"This defeat of the Sova. There should be a lot of baggage lost, is there enough food in the army on the front line?" Algernon Julia's words changed, and a cold light flashed in her slightly narrowed phoenix eyes,

Stanley Spencer responded, "The losses of baggage are indeed heavy, but because the military rations are supplied from the southwest and transported in batches, the losses are not large"

"When was the last delivery of military rations?" asked Algernon Julia coldly

"Ten days ago, on the third day of our army's crushing defeat, the Southwestern Army brought enough military rations for 20 days!" Stanley Spencer took a deep breath. I don't know why Algernon Julia asked this, but she seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and said with some uncertainty, "Miss Julia means that this plague in the army has something to do with military rations?"

"I'm not sure, but I've received such news!" Algernon Giulia said in a low voice, "It is rumored that in order to reduce the pressure on the supply of food, the head of the Southwest Army, Murphyo Boone, specially purchased the grain that was soaked in the torrential rain some time ago, dried it and supplied it to the Praetorian Guard as military rations!"

"What! how dare he do this!" Stanley Spencer's face changed slightly, his face changing slightly, "I heard Algernon Giulia mention this. I just remembered that some time ago, I felt that the taste of this batch of military food was wrong, for which I also severely reprimanded the attendant officer, and most of the soldiers seemed to have eaten this food in less than two days. vomited and diarrhea, the body was tired, and the mischievous attack of the Northwest Army made many Praetorian Guard soldiers have to choose to leave the front line. Come to the capital of the southwest to recuperate!"

"It seems, that's right!" said Algernon Julia, frowning slightly, and looking up at the summer sun outside the window. Suddenly, he asked in a decisive tone, "How many troops are there in the southwest capital now, and who is the commander?"

Stanley Spencer looked at Algernon Julia's stern face, not knowing what this woman wanted to do, but still answered honestly, "Because most of them have been transferred to Mossand, the capital has a three-quarter vacancy, less than three thousand, but the commander is a famous fierce general in the east, Murphy Obonne's younger brother, Murphylins!

"Murphylins, that brave fool!" Algernon Julia twitched the corners of his mouth, looking extremely disdainful, raised his head, looked at Stanley Spencer, and said, "Lord Stanley, the defeat in the Battle of the Northwest, have you thought about what you want to think of the Emperor's Majesty to explain? 100,000 troops lost in one battle! Such misery even exceeded the defeat in the Battle of Seattle, and the Emperor Emperor Xià is still in Kyoto looking forward to your Excellency being able to lead the army to recover the Northwest, this is your reward for the Emperor's kindness?"

"Defeat is defeat, the battle of the Sova River, I have nothing to say if I am defeated!" Stanley Spencer's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will apologize to His Majesty with my life!"

"Your Majesty wants a thousand miles of fertile fields in the northwest, not a cold corpse of Your Excellency!" Algernon Julia said unhurriedly, "This time I brought back 5,000 people, 3,000 people stayed a hundred miles away from here, and 1,500 people were outside the city, 500 of the most elite guards followed me into the city, if there are really only 3,000 garrisons in the city, it is not an opportunity for Your Excellency, since you can't recover the northwest, why not recover the southwest!" "Southwest, there are more than 100,000 troops in the southwest!" Stanley Spencer was obviously taken aback by this mentions, "Since Your Excellency is not even afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of!" Algernon Julia said slowly, "It seems that there are more than 100,000 troops in the southwest, but in fact, there is only one Mephio Boone, killing him, the emperor will be very pleased, and I have come forward to recommend you, I believe that your chances of becoming the commander-in-chief of the southwest are very high, at least it is better than going back to Kyoto and waiting for death."

"Kill...... Kill Murphy Oone!" Stanley Spencer said with an ugly face, "This is impossible, he is now in the Southwest Army camp, protected by more than 100,000 troops!" And Murphy Oone is very cautious, under normal circumstances, there are always guards with him, it is too difficult to kill him!"

"Well, I don't have to say it, I know!" said Algernon Julia coldly, "but now, there is such a wonderful opportunity in front of us, his brother Murphylins is in the city, you should know how deep the friendship between the two brothers is, if Murphylins is assassinated in the capital, I can guarantee that Murphyo Boone will definitely rush back as soon as possible, with the Northwest army in front of him, he can be accompanied by no more than a squadron in a hurry, and we have a full five thousand men." That's our chance, kill Murphy Oboone and control more than 100,000 Southwest Army, aren't you not impressed at all?" "Kill Murphy Oone and receive the Southwest Army!" Stanley Spencer was so excited that he stood up all of a sudden, and walked around the room quickly. Everyone is a smart man, and it doesn't take Algernon Giulia to know that there is a good chance that this plan will succeed, and the most tricky thing about Murfeoh Boone is that he is steady and rarely puts himself in danger. But if his position is thrown into chaos, as long as an ambush is placed on the road, it will be easy to destroy him, and the entire eastern battlefield knows it,

Murphy Obon's martial arts are really not very good, as long as they are properly arranged, killing Murphy Oone is too easy

"In that case, let's discuss how to clean up Murphylins first!" Algernon Julia saw Stanley Spencer's red face and knew that the other party was already moved, so she said in a deep voice, "Murphylins is a famous warrior of the Murphy family. Most of the entourage guards were elites, and of the five hundred people who followed me into the city, fifty were royal knights sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and ten were masters of long-range shooting. Needless to say, personal force and loyalty can be relied upon. It would be their honor to be able to help the adults."

"In that case, I'll ask Miss Julia," said Stanley Spencer, with a look of confidence on his face. Laughing dryly, he couldn't help but be excited when he thought of adding more than 100,000 more powerful Southwest Army troops in his hands

On the evening of June 11

The guards who stood up straight saluted the people who were coming out, "Lord Lins!"

"Go to Master Stanley!" Murphylins stepped into the carriage. Escorted by a hundred Murphy dragon cavalry, he turned into the east street of the city,

He had just received an invitation from Stanley Spencer, and the moonlight was dim. In the lonely and empty streets, the horse team drove unhurriedly, and the sign of the cross of the sword and shield of the Murphy Dragoon was very conspicuous. The horses' hooves trampled on the cold streets, the dim wind lamps swayed rhythmically, and the cold wind swished to blow in front of them.

The shadow of the sycamore tree beside the road was reflected on his body, a wisp of emanation covered his injured forehead, and he was still reminiscing about the warmth of the beauty fragrance just now, there are many beauties in the southwest since ancient times, here is the front line of the war, and it is also the key point to visit the northwest, under the multi-ethnic mixture, the beauty is also like a cloud, especially in the two months of recuperation, Murphylins has become a celebrity of several aristocratic families, compared with his brother Murphy Oone, who always needs to think about the future of the southwest, Murphylins's thinking is much simpler.

"I hope the news that guy brought will not disappoint me!" Murphylins shook his head, the reason Stanley Spencer invited him was because a beautiful woman from Kyoto happened to appear at Stanley Spencer's banquet tonight, Algernon Julia, this name that is popular enough in Kyoto, and is also the dream lover in the hearts of countless young people in Kyoto, with a prominent family background, a peerless face, and a slender neck that is rumored to be enough to be called stunning, it is said that even the Emperor Xià was once obsessed with it

"Bang!" the car paused and slowly stopped. Murphylins woke up from his complacency and looked up through the car window, but what he saw was still a plane tree on the side of the street, and a three-way intersection in front of him.

"What's going on, why did the car stop?" Murphylins felt a little wrong, but soon smiled self-deprecatingly at the corner of his mouth, this is the capital of the Southwest, it is his own territory, even if Stanley Spencer wants to do some tricks, is it just the dozens of guards he brought back?

A Murphy Dragoon officer ran to the carriage window, "My lord, it's the city guard who is strictly investigating curfew smuggling. ”

"What are you kidding from the city guard for curfew smuggling?" Morphyllin looked out of the car window, and the street ahead was flickering with lights, and there were indeed many figures in city guard uniforms shaking torches, and the sound came from the front, and the city guards were stopping a freight wagon and shouting.

Morphylins' face was cold and said lightly, "The city guards have become more and more unseemly lately, and they dare to stop our car? ”

"Yes, my lord!"

The Murphy Dragonarmor officer saluted, and rode forward, and a cold wind blew, and the plane trees on both sides of the street were blown to a rattle, and a leaf drifted leisurely in front of the window, falling in front of his eyes

"Is it just autumn?" Looking at the trajectory of the falling leaves, Murphylins' pupils contracted suddenly, his body trembled slightly, and in an instant, he felt the cold hairs all over his body stand up: his gaze swept in front, and he found that everyone's eyes unconsciously avoided him, and he already felt it very clearly, the killing machine was already rippling in the air, and his sixth sense, as an outstanding general, made him shout "Attention!" But it was obviously over, and suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the silence of the night sky, and the two sides who were arguing just now suddenly drew their weapons at the same time,

The city guard smiled and shouted, "Do it!"

Suddenly, there was a sudden change!With a bang, countless figures jumped down from the houses on both sides, and rolled to the ground with the Murphy dragon armored cavalry on their horses, and pulled out the short sword they were hiding. Fiercely slammed into the dragoon cavalry under him, because it was not wartime, the dragoon cavalry only wore simple chain mail, and for a while, the sword was shining, blood was splashing, and the sharp blade slashed into the muscles and bones, and the screams and screams sounded intensively.

"Enemy attack!" The dragoon officer who had gone to inquire just now noticed that something was wrong, and quickly drew his weapon and shouted, before the words fell, several long swords stabbed into their bodies at the same time, and blood gushed out and choked his throat. His body fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and the blood stained the ground scarlet. "Kill the Morphylins!" shouted the slogan of the lightly armored Praetorian Guard, leaping across the road like a wolf, rushing out of the other forks in the mountain, and hundreds of people broke the encirclement of the unprepared dragoon guards at once,

Quickly rushed towards the middle of the convoy, a sword light flashed, and countless rapidly moving footsteps stuck the blood on the ground, "Attention, protect your lord!" The eight dragon armored cavalry in the second column didn't have time to instigate their horses, and the wine glasses "Boom, pop, boom......" A series of rapid sounds, more than a dozen stabbing spears pierced their bodies from all directions, piercing them in pair,

The howl of the ghost crying wolf made everyone who heard it feel sour, but the Praetorian Guards did not listen, and they stabbed the barbed spears in their hands again with all their might, and the spurs they drew were all stained scarlet, and the sticky blood splattered on the ground......;
