Chapter 149: Both Sides Before the War (4)

July is known as the month of calamity by the Mars. Because during this month, heavy rains of more than 8 hours will fall in the territory of the Mars Empire almost every day. In addition, the Mars Empire is located in a mountainous woodland area, and there are often sudden mudslides, and these terrible mudslides can take away some fresh lives every time, so in July, it is the month when all the Mars people are most reluctant to fight, and every time at this time, their minds will be all on their families, especially this year, after the Christianity that the sun never sets is introduced to the faithless country of Mars, most of the Mars people will always gather together on time every day in the form of prayer, Pray that God will not allow the disaster caused by the mudslide to befall their family. It was not uncommon for the Mars to come en masse to the chapel built by the Christian Society on which the sun never sets, and it was precisely because of this that the low-ranking Mars commoners had the opportunity to meet the nobles or generals who were originally high.

Andrew was a commander in Mars's 30 armies and one of the most trusted new generals under the command of Emperor Mars, His Majesty Clifford the Scarred. It's just that in recent times, the career of the Legionnaire, who has been appreciated by the rulers of the country, has not been very smooth, at least in the eyes of most Mars, and these Mars generally believe that the reason why the career of the younger Legionnaire is not going well is that Andrew has fallen out of favor with His Majesty!

The reason why people think this way is actually very simple, because Andrew, who accompanied His Majesty to the Edinburgh Territory this time, was disqualified a few days before his departure for some reason, and was transferred to the northeast defense line of the empire with more than 10,000 soldiers under his command. In the eyes of the Mars, this personal expedition of His Majesty means that the Edinburgh Territory will definitely fall into the hands of the Mars Empire, because from the battle in which the Mars Emperor named Scar Man personally participated in after the age of 40, none of them was defeated, since this battle was considered a must-win battle by the Mars after Klebold joined, it also means that this battle is clearly a battle for the Mars to obtain honor and collect spoils, such a battle, And this young general, whom His Majesty Clifford admired, did not participate, so what could it be if he did not fall out of favor? Perhaps the only answer is the general named Andrew and His Majesty Clifford the Scar.

After selling a bottle of rum on the side of the road, General Andrew, who was slightly flushed, staggered into a tavern that was not very famous, and walked into an inconspicuous private room after tossing a gold coin to the bartender who was about to come forward to ask questions. However, after Andrew closed the door with his hand, he suddenly became serious when he was drunk, the flush on his face had long since receded, and his blurred eyes became very sharp and staring ahead, and in front of him, that is, in the private room, a figure in a black cloak was standing here, quietly shaking the wine glass with wine in his hand.

"Are you the intelligence officer sent by Sunset this time? I don't know what advice does Lu Dao have? After slowly placing the rum bottle in his hand on the table, Andrew asked the black-robed man in front of him in a flat tone.

"Hehehe............ First of all, let me introduce myself, I am the intelligence officer who came to help you collect intelligence from the 3rd Army of the Northeast Defense Line of Mars because of the request of Your Majesty Kleberd, and our Sun Lin Mian, the Lionheart King of the Empire, personally instructed you to help you collect intelligence on the 3rd Army of the Mars Northeast Defense Line, you can call me......... Thebes, the Secretive, and the reason I have called you here is to tell you that the army of the Warsaw League that you have been waiting for a long time is coming, and that it is not even ten kilometers from the city where you are staying. ”

"Oh, I see, is that what Your Excellency is here to tell me? If nothing else, then I'll quit first. You know that the army is coming, as the commander-in-chief of the three group armies of the empire's northeast defense line, if I do not appear in front of the generals during the war, it will inevitably shake the hearts of the army groups, and I will even be charged with the charge of 'afraid of the enemy army before the war', this is not what I want to happen, so Lord Thebes, can you let your people open the door? Andrew, who was already sitting in a chair, glanced behind him lightly and said to the black-robed man in front of him.

"Hehehe......... His Excellency Andrew is really anxious, but don't worry, the reason why I want to keep Your Excellency Andrew is because I haven't finished my business yet, and if I leave in such a hurry, then I won't be too responsible............ Before you leave, I want you to take a good look at what is written on this piece of paper, and believe me, it will help you in your next actions. As he spoke, the black-robed man took out a document from his arms and handed it to Andrew: "Since the matter has been completed, then there is no need for me to stay, go back to General Andrew, I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future." After speaking, the black-robed man walked straight to the door, and two black shadows suddenly appeared in the corners around him, following the black-robed man and leaving the private room. At this time, the general named Andrew was already attracted by the information in his hand.

"20,000 crossbowmen, 40,000 ironclad heavy infantry, 30,000 lightly armed sword and shield men, and 10,000 javelin raiders............ This—this is ...... 8,000 Warsaw Guards, and that's just the vanguards! It's hard to believe, if this information is true, it doesn't mean that there will be changes in the plan drawn up by His Majesty! No, it seems that I have to tell His Majesty about this matter, and ask His Majesty to immediately transfer the 5 army groups located on the Empire's northwest defense line to 3 army groups! Right! That's it! Thinking of this, Andrew, who looked anxious, immediately walked out of the private room quickly, and even forgot to take the bottle of rum on the table.

But just as Andrew walked out of the tavern, a group of soldiers in iron armor suddenly ran towards him from a distance, and the leading captain looked anxious, and immediately after stopping Andrew, he said: "Report to your lordship, something is wrong!" Just now, a Bobcat boy reported that an elite army of about 100,000 troops of the Warsaw Alliance was marching here, and the Warsaw Guards, an elite heavy cavalry unit of the Warsaw Alliance with about 8,000 people, were at the beginning! Please also rush back to the camp to command the battle! ”
