Nelson rode on a horse and led a dozen soldiers to quickly pass by the troops who were desperately rushing.

As the most trusted general under Senat, Nelson has more than 30,000 elite troops in his hands. He was originally responsible for garrisoning Seike City, but this afternoon Senat suddenly issued an order to him, asking him to move as quickly as possible. With great speed, he led 20,000 elite infantrymen to the Valo Mountain area, intercepted the Magic Exchange Group of Moon Moon City, and gave him the power to command all Senat troops in that area. In order to reduce the threat of the other side's magicians to our own army, Senat also generously provided him with 12 magicians.

As an excellent general, Nelson certainly knew that the Wallow Mountains were the natural boundary between Senat's territory and the territories of several other small lords. An infantry of 5,000 people was stationed there, and this infantry had also received orders. , will buy them time on their way,

Before Senat openly broke away from the empire, Nelson was the leader of a mercenary group. In fact, this mercenary group was the base for Senat to train his army. They established a base in the mountains far away from the city. , Nelson has personally trained tens of thousands of soldiers there for more than ten years,

Every once in a while, some warriors who have passed the training and meet the standards will be drawn out. Several hundred people will be recruited. They will register a new mercenary group under various names, and then go on adventures outside to accumulate practical experience. It will not be long before these new mercenary groups are recruited. The mercenary groups that emerge will be hired by some rich people or caravans very reasonably, and soon fade out of the Adventurer's Guild.

Therefore, no one will find that the members of the mercenary group will become unrecognizable every once in a while. The original old members are almost all replaced by new faces. Even the proprietors who hire them will not say it, because these so-called The rich man and the caravan are basically Senat's subordinates.

Senat used this method to accumulate strength secretly. His strength was mainly concentrated in the southern region, which was far away from the imperial capital and had developed commerce. Mercenaries were everywhere, making it easy to hide his power. Originally, Senat should have used all his forces He would launch a rebellion after concentrating, but he believed too much in himself and underestimated the strength of the legendary invincible Royal Knights. In addition, the opportunity for Senat's rebellion was indeed rare. If he waited until all his troops were concentrated, the imperial capital would be destroyed. After that period of weak military strength,

At that time, Senat thought that it was impossible for the emperor to send out troops so quickly. Even if the army arrived in Seike City, Senat could defend it for a period of time with the troops at hand. But what he never expected was that Orlando, the leader of the Royal Knights, was bold. Careful, he directly led the cavalry to quickly go south and continuously attacked Senat's important stronghold outside Seike City, which made Senat unable to defend the city with peace of mind. In addition, Senat believed that the Royal Knights were all cavalry and were not good at attacking cities. Coming from afar, he was short of nourishment and eager to become famous in a battle, so he led his army out of the city to fight.

It wasn't until he faced the legendary army of the undead that tens of thousands of people could directly overwhelm tens of millions of people, and the Royal Knights, which had never failed since its establishment, that Senat realized that he was completely wrong. As long as there was a slight flaw in his side, , the opponent's cavalry assault can accelerate and penetrate into one's vital points in an instant, and no matter how one's own sword or bayonet slashes, it cannot hurt those holy knights with shining golden bodies.

In this asymmetrical battle, even Senat, the greatest military commander in human history, was powerless. When his army was defeated, Senat had to flee the battlefield in despair. In order to protect himself, he hid in the The power in the dark can only choose to flee north, leaving traces along the way to lure the Royal Knights to pursue them, in order to share the pressure of their hidden forces in the south.

Orlando succeeded in taking the risk, but could not stay in Seike City for a long time, and soon returned to the imperial capital. The imperial ruler Fernando XIII ambitiously sent the city lord, hoping to use Seike City as a stepping stone to conquer the entire south. Unfortunately, Senat's hidden strength in Seike City is far beyond what others can imagine. The city lord was dismissed soon after he took office.

During those days, Senat not only had to hide in Tibet, but also spent a period of house arrest in the orc territory on the frozen plateau in the north. It was not until the orcs launched an attack that Senat was tasked with attacking the imperial capital from both sides. After returning from the mission, Senat returned to Seike City. Taking advantage of the inextricable battle between the imperial capital and the orcs, he went all out to expand his army and prepare for war. He turned the tens of thousands of elites into a full 200,000. These troops in turn expanded Senat's army. special territory,

"Although 200,000 people are a large number, the combat effectiveness has dropped compared with before. Fortunately, the imperial capital is overwhelmed now, and we still have time." Nelson thought silently while riding on the horse: "It's a pity that the master refuses to listen to my persuasion. At this time It’s not rational to be an enemy of Wangyue City. Once…”

"General, general." The guards around Nelson kept calling him, which also brought him back to his senses. Nelson raised his head and found that a scout on a horse was less than 5 meters away from him. , Nelson reacted very quickly. He tightened the reins with both hands, and the war horse immediately let out a long neigh, raised its two front hooves high, and stopped its fast galloping almost on the spot.

"Good riding skills, good horses." The scout naturally knew how difficult it was to do this, so he shouted loudly, and the soldiers trotting forward on the road also all cheered after seeing their general show his hand. They cheered loudly, but they immediately shut their mouths and continued moving forward without any delay.

"What's going on?" Nelson asked on his horse, "Is it the news from the front?"

"Yes, General, our troops Cindy and Cantelli's troops have successfully surrounded the target on the Wallen Peak in the Valo Mountains. The target shows no signs of breaking out. Cindy and Commander Cantelli have divided their forces to block the target's movement from south to north. Passage, now has ten times the superior strength and is preparing to launch a test attack... "

"Damn it, do you think this is just an ordinary hunt? With thousands of soldiers under your command, you dare to challenge the Grand Magister." Nelson immediately cursed when he heard this. He had already issued an order to ask the Wallow Mountains to Cindy, Cantelli's troops only encircled and did not attack. Firstly, they were afraid that the attack would be unfavorable and would cause loopholes in the encirclement. Secondly, they did not know the master's ultimate purpose. If this matter led to a deadly battle between Seke City and Mochizuki City, then Wouldn't it make the Imperial City cheaper

Nelson knew that he was not the superior of these commanders before. Although he personally trained tens of thousands of elites, these second-line troops had no idea how powerful Nelson was. If Nelson trained his direct descendants, how could this happen? If he acted rashly, he immediately took out a command talisman from his arms and threw it to the guards beside him, shouting: "Hurry up and take my command talisman and rush over. Strictly order Cindy, Cantelli must not act rashly, as long as the target is surrounded Just don’t let them escape. Remember, Cindy, Commander Cantelli must not be greedy for credit, otherwise I won’t let him go.”

Seeing his personal guards galloping away with eight scouts, Nelson suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart, and he immediately issued a second order: "Order the former army to leave their baggage and move forward lightly, and tell them , there are still 80 kilometers left, if they can’t make it at dawn, I will personally command the Chinese army to send them to see Hades.”
