"Everyone follow me!"

Herme called on everyone to follow him.

At the moment, Adal Aip Darcy's defense was obviously empty as he expected. It was entirely possible to seize this opportunity and capture the flag.

But the risk is still very high. If you want to get to Adal, you have to cross a vast battlefield. If you are discovered and intercepted in the middle, you will fail.

But now that we have reached this point, we have no regrets and can only keep moving forward.

But he didn't rush in all directions. The team was not advancing very fast. Herme observed the battlefield and thought about how to reach the Nilfgaardian coach in a safer way.

While thinking, Herme did not forget to reload the spring gun in her hand.

If this thing is used properly, it can produce unexpected effects.

He still remembered that he shot and killed the Nilfgaardian general during the Battle of Vengerberg, thereby ending the war. Maybe he could also kill that bastard Adal with one shot.

The Wind Tower Brigade was now completely immersed in the fight with the royal knights. Gwama's presence on the front line made the entire army lose control. They just ignored Heme.

On Hemei's side, he finally figured out a way, and then he led the team into the forest.

The reason for changing my mind is simple. It's still too risky to rush over directly, so I'd better go around as much as possible, get behind that guy Adal as much as possible, and then give him a "surprise".

His choice also made many people breathe a sigh of relief. Going to the forest is much better than rushing directly to the black sun flag.

And his choice was correct. Shortly after they entered the forest, a group of Nilfgaardian cavalry ran past the place where they had just stayed. If Herme's team was still there, they would definitely have to fight with this team.

Get up and get entangled.

In the forest, Herme's team soon encountered many dead Scoia'tael and Nilfgaardian skirmishers, with several corpses of members of the Aedirn Special Forces scattered among them.

Seeing this, Herme knew that Leila should have been here before.

This made him feel more reassured. Leila's people had raided the place, so it should be difficult to encounter enemies here.

Mentioning Layla, Herme remembered the mission she had given them, asking them to find the Nilfgaardians' possible backhand.

At that time, they were just asked to search aimlessly, but when they saw the green flames rising into the sky, they should have understood what they wanted to solve.

Now it seems that there have been no green flames streaking across the sky on the battlefield for a long time. It seems that they have solved that thing.

Hemei was quite surprised by this. This was just a free chess piece of his, but he didn't expect that this free chess piece would be a great success.

Now, Herme plans to advance a certain distance in the forest and try his best to get back behind the Nilfgaardian army. He wants to kill the damn Adal Aip Darcy at once, even if he can't kill him.

He fled in despair.

Just as Herme was thinking about how to make a surprise attack next, Marendo suddenly signaled Herme to stop. The gesture meant that there was someone nearby.

Seeing this, the Protector subconsciously put his hand on his spring gun, ready to pull it out and shoot at any time.

Naturally, everyone else was also ready for battle, always ready for a fight.

But they finally discovered that those who appeared were friendly forces.

The people who came out of the forest all had the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Aden, and although they were all covered in blood, it could still be seen that they were wearing the uniforms of the Aedirn special forces.

"Salute to you, Lord Protector."

Leila naturally saluted Heme in the most standard military manner. Heme nodded in response, and then looked at the special forces pouring out of the forest.

The special forces have only recently replenished their manpower to 500, but looking at the current situation, their losses are probably close to half.

He also saw the wounded being placed on stretchers, and among them, Herme saw his previous attendant Viator.

Seeing that it was Herme, Viato quickly got up. Herme also waved to his attendant, but he had no intention of chatting with Viator because he didn't have the time now, so it would be better to let him have a good rest.

.

Next, Leila naturally told what they had experienced. Herme was quite surprised after hearing that it was Viator who fought to defeat the entire army and kill the Nilfgaardian crossbow.

I didn't expect that the little attendant who came out of my place could actually achieve such a feat.

Next, Hemei organized all the people here who could still move into his own troops. He was going to kill the generals and capture the flag, so it would be better to have more troops around him.

As for the wounded, they were sent to the rear and as far away from the battlefield as possible. Hermei sent some people to protect them.

After recruiting more manpower, Hemei calculated their positions.

He felt that now was the time to launch a surprise attack over there, and he must take this opportunity to give that Adal Aip Darcy a good look.

.

"Barbarians are barbarians after all, and they will inevitably collapse in front of the imperial army."

Seeing that the battle situation in front of him was stabilizing and even developing in a direction beneficial to the empire, Adal said proudly and arrogantly,

After the last reserve group headed by the Sun Wheel Master entered the battlefield, it became clear that the Aedianites were becoming more and more out of support.

First, the previous wave of attacks was stopped, and then the fronts of both sides pushed each other. Now the northerners are beginning to show signs of defeat.

In his opinion, this battle will definitely wash away the humiliation of defeat to the northerners.

Duke Adal even began to think about how to clean up this land after the war, how to empty out and rob everything here.

The resistance of the northerners made him so passive, these barbarians must pay the price.

Especially that Hemei. If he hadn't intervened, how could things have developed like this?

And that damn Queen of Rivia, this woman is like a cockroach, she can't be beaten to death, and she keeps causing trouble for herself, so she must die.

The two attendants around Adal were praising their Duke desperately, which made Adal feel comfortable serving him. He just liked the feeling of being flattered like this.

In comparison, the senior officers present were basically expressionless. They all didn't like this guy, and their emotions were as high as they could get.

Adal naturally noticed all these expressions.

Humph, these guys look down on him all day long. They are just a group of chess pieces. Who do the chess pieces look down on here?

After the war, when his prestige was sufficient, Adal planned to carry out a purge of the Eastern Army Group, eliminate some senior officers who did not know the heights of the world, and then replace them with obedient people who were truly willing to obey him.

The charges were all ready-made. To "cleanse the remnants of the usurper", we just dragged the person out and beheaded him.

Even if the current Nilfgaardian army has gone through several purges, people who are related to the usurper are still everywhere. After all, this powerful army was ultimately built by that person.

Adal is still thinking about how to use this victory to build momentum in the City of Golden Towers and replenish all the political resources that have been lost.

The ancient family had taken away a lot of things from him before, and he wanted to get them all back and let those guys know that his things were not that easy to get.

The Nilfgaardian soldiers on the periphery naturally didn't know what the big guys above were thinking. They were now watching the fighting in front of them.

The new recruits cheered and were excited that the balance of victory in this war was tilted in their favor.

In the eyes of some veterans, this is too childish and too rookie.

The imperial army has such an advantage, and victory should be a matter of course. There is nothing strange about this. Let's think about how to collect the spoils after the war.

"Hey, Val, cheer up. If those officers find out that you are slacking off, you will be whipped. And aren't you excited? It looks like we are going to win soon, and we will get the spoils of war!"

A soldier wearing a pot helmet and a jacket called out to the veteran who was dozing off with his spear.

He was very surprised that this veteran could fall asleep despite the fierce fighting ahead, and he seemed to be sleeping well.

"No one cares about us. I can do whatever I want. The senior officials are focusing on the battlefield, and the military judges have also gone to the front line. There is no need to be so nervous."

The veteran's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Don't get too excited and don't look at what this place has to do with the two sentries guarding here. We can't go to the front line to get loot. Even if they send people urgently, they won't send us. Don't forget, you and me

We are all from the province, and if we want to rob them, we must let the elders of the Golden Tower City rob them first."

After hearing this, the recruit's mood became obviously depressed.

He left his hometown to join the army, originally thinking that he could have a big adventure that he had never seen before, but instead he spent most of his time standing here on guard.

Now the war is right in front of us, but we can't participate - of course, another thought is to be grateful that we don't have to participate in such a cruel battle.

He had no doubts about the veteran's words. The veteran and he were from the same village and had joined the army several times. It was he who led him to join the army.

"Dylan, think about how to save your life and return home safely. After the war, you will usually be given a bounty, and you can go home with the money. Or after the war, you can sign up and join the immigration process.

You can also get a piece of land. Our current position is quite good. We have been standing guard throughout the whole war. Isn't that good? And don't have so many military rules and regulations in your mind. Be flexible when you really need to be flexible.

…”

The veteran kept talking. Although Dylan knew that he was imparting life lessons, he still couldn't help but think about it. The war he wanted was not like this.

Suddenly, Dylan saw soldiers appearing on the edge of the forest he was looking at unconsciously.

And his good eyesight allowed him to see clearly that there was none other than the people of Aedirn.

He quickly shook the veteran and told him what happened.

The veteran's next reaction was so fast that he could not imagine, and he directly pulled him and jumped into a nearby tunnel.

This also saved their lives, because the next moment a group of cavalry rushed over. They were obviously eager and ignored the two Nilfgaardian sentries hiding aside.

.

"Hold them off!"

"Keep Duke Adal safe!"
