late at night.
The Velvet City was pitch black, and a raging thunderstorm swept in, covering everything between the heaven and the earth in the storm.
The lightning across the sky from time to time leaves shocking flashes of light on the black screen of the night, followed by deafening thunder.
The location of Tinder Castle seemed to be in the middle of a thunderstorm, and the continuous flashes of lightning and bursts of thunder seemed to turn this exquisite and magnificent castle into ashes at any time.
The candlelight in the castle was swaying because of the gust of wind, and it seemed that it would be blown out in the next moment.
"Father-in-law, the lords around Linshui City have responded to my call and sent troops to block the retreat of the Blood Cavalry Army. Now, it is raining again and the road is muddy and difficult. It is the best time to trap the Blood Cavalry Army in Linshui City. !"
Earl Bruggen was standing on the balcony of the castle, his face flickering with the lightning flashing from time to time.
After a while, he finally made up his mind and ordered:
"Okay! Tinder Army, assemble!"
Following this order, the five knights of the Bruggen family bowed immediately, left the room, and went to gather the army.
Earl Evan couldn't hide his excitement. The nightmare that had been entangled in his mind for a long time was finally coming to an end.
The shame of Clover City will finally be completely washed away by this storm.
Turning around, Earl Evan saw a beautiful figure standing at the door.
Feeling hot in his heart, he walked up quickly, staring at the beautiful face of his fiancée, and said in a deep voice:
"Grace, I will dedicate the glory of this victory to you!"
Grace smiled gently and lowered her head, as if she couldn't bear her fiancé's hot gaze.
The shy look made Earl Evan want to hug her into his arms, but when he stretched out his hand, Grace took a step back and said softly:
"Then I will pray to my Lord for you, and may you return victorious as soon as possible!"
Earl Evan's hands stopped in the air awkwardly, as if realizing his impoliteness, he quickly stopped his hands and stood up, bowed, and then walked away quickly.
Earl Bruggen, who had a panoramic view of all this, also walked up to his daughter and said softly: "When we come back from victory this time, you won't resist Evan like this again."
Grace curled her lips stubbornly, and said: "Ignoring the safety of Bailu City and my relatives, I only want to wash away my shame, and even issued a call-up order to the surrounding lords in the name of the Duke, and forced the Tinder Army to do it for me by means of marriage. It serves...
Such a victory is not worth bragging about, let alone much honor. "
"But a victory is a victory after all." Earl Bruggen said solemnly, "If he wins this game, he will be the future master of the Eastern Territory."
After Earl Bruggen said this, he ignored his daughter who was throwing a temper, and strode out.
…
The rain has stopped.
It was as if the heaven knew that the decisive battle was approaching, and the atmosphere was almost prepared, and it was time for the dinner to be served.
Standing at the head of Linshui City, Ke Lin looked at the distant field and remained silent.
The cold winter is approaching, and the suburbs are bleak. The heavy rain has gradually mixed with some snowflakes.
At this time, the rain was over and the sky was clear, but the temperature dropped a lot, and the north wind whizzed by, making people shiver.
Amid the hurried footsteps, an orderly approached quickly.
Seeing that Colin didn't reach out to pick it up, Prince Harrison, who was standing beside him, took the military newspaper, flipped through it, and reported softly:
"Teacher, the Tinder Army has already been dispatched."
Only then did Colin come back to his senses, an inscrutable smile appeared on his face: "We are surrounded."
Afterwards, he turned his head to look at the solemn Prince Harrison, and asked, "Which direction do you think we should go to break through?"
Hearing this, Prince Harrison breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though Colin has always acted confidently, Prince Harrison has been watching the eastern border troops gather around Linshui City these days, and it is really difficult to keep calm.
Hearing Colin's question at this moment, Prince Harrison thought it was the teacher's test for himself, and quickly said the answer he had been thinking about for many days:
"Teacher, I think we should break out to the west!"
"Why?"
"First of all, to the west is a coalition of various eastern border lords. Although they dispatched early to block our retreat, after all, they have a complex composition of personnel and lack of tacit cooperation. It is difficult to form a unified and coordinated combat rhythm. There are a lot of people, but it is the direction we are most likely to break through.
Secondly, although the army in the north is smaller in number, they are cavalry after all. Once they are entangled, it is difficult for us to get rid of them.
Although there are no enemy troops in the east, going east will only lead to farther and farther, until the impasse of Huiyue Forest.
As for the south, there is the most powerful army in the east - the Tinder Army... "
"The strongest army in the East?" Colin couldn't help showing a mocking smile when he heard this.
Prince Harrison also touched his nose in embarrassment, and said: "Although the army in the Eastern Region has always been weak, the Tinder Army is famous after all, and they should still have some strength. We are short of troops, so it's better not to gnaw on this tough bone..."
"No!" Ke Lin shook his head slowly, and said, "I just want to break this hard bone!"
Prince Harrison looked at his teacher in shock, and said after a while: "Teacher, this is what you said, did you catch him by surprise?"
"That's right." Colin said solemnly, "The people in the east certainly wouldn't think that I would break through to the south, they thought I would flee to the west, but I never thought of fleeing from the beginning to the end!
The strongest army in the East
hehe.
I just want to defeat the pride of the soldiers in the Eastern Border, cross the Arthias Mountains, and fight all the way to Bailu City! "
Prince Harrison opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say anymore.
If an ordinary general said something like this, he would only think that the other party was crazy.
But in the face of this illustrious guardian of the north, Prince Harrison suddenly felt that this was not a joke like a fairy tale.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a rush of blood welling up in his heart.
To create a miracle in a desperate situation, isn't this a hero!
Under Prince Harrison's admiring eyes, Colin ordered the messenger: "Assemble the army!"
"yes!"
woo—
The sound of bugles pierced the sky of Linshui City.
The residents of the city looked nervously at the groups of Blood Cavalry soldiers speeding past on the street, shivering on the side of the road in fright.
Standing at the top of the city, Ke Lin watched quietly the soldiers of the Blood Cavalry Army gathering under his feet like a stream of water, and couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.
Insufficient troops
A sneer could not help but appear on the corner of Colin's mouth.
He just wants to use these three thousand blood cavalry to break the backbone of the Eastern Realm!
"Out of town!"
