"Go back and tell Eric, I understand what he means."
Geer put away the letter in his hand and asked the attendant to get the torch. The young knight stretched out his hand, and the tongue of fire eagerly bit the paper.
The golden flame slipped from the knight's hand, and the letter fell to the ground and burned, finally turning into ashes.
Watching the messenger's figure disappear into the woods, Geer shook his head slightly, feeling a little emotional.
"There has never been a pure white throne in the world. Although it is decorated with gems and gold and is dazzling on the surface, there is always bloodshed and conspiracy inside. No one is exception."
"Sir, what did you say?" Alval, the knight's attendant of Geer, said in confusion.
Another knight squire, Duff, quickly kicked the former hunter's feet to stop his companion from continuing to act foolishly.
Alval looked at his companion, who was originally a tavern owner, and did not continue to speak out of trust in him.
"It's nothing." Geer returned to his usual calmness, "You go out and inform everyone that we can prepare for combat."
"Sir, are you going to fight those cultists?" Alval asked with excitement on his face. The hunter, who was full of fighting spirit, completely ignored the gestures from his companions.
"Um."
Watching Duff dragging Alvale away, Geer smiled a little. These two people are the best among the locals of Elibrock. During the selection of the Knights of the Holy Sword, they were successfully selected with excellent results.
And became Geer's knight squire, but the two men's personalities were completely opposite.
One is more rough and doesn't pay much attention to details, while the other is overly careful and has to think twice before doing anything. It's really a wonderful thing that these two can become friends.
But these thoughts were immediately thrown out of his mind, because there were more important things for him to consider now.
It's because of Eric's letter.
There is only one thing in the letter. That is to let the Slakna army return to Merzai and not to completely annihilate it.
At a time when the enemy army could be completely crippled and defeated if it was delayed for just a few more days, this request was obviously very inappropriate. If it were just this order, Geer would never obey it.
The secret letter was written densely. Of course, it not only recorded this request, but also followed it with the reasons why this request was made. It seems that Eric was also worried that Geer would reject this unreasonable request.
The reason is actually very simple. The newly established Sylvia regime still needs this enemy to exist for a while, and they need to continue to confront the defenders of Merzai City to buy enough time for the development of Eli Bullock.
Now, with the surrounding princes successively joining forces, the Sylvia regime is getting stronger and stronger, but there is still a gap with Merzai, the capital of the Northeast District of Hastings, that is impossible to make up in a short time.
If only the enemy army was severely damaged, it is very likely that Merzai's Srakna army would choose to recover in order to prevent being flanked by Eli Bullock's army, and return to the area they already controlled for defense, thereby eliminating Merzai's army.
Wai.
At this time, the situation of Sylvia's regime will become a little embarrassing.
As the regional capital, Merzai City has the natural right to lead surrounding towns. Coupled with its own strength, it can be said to be the strongest force in the northeast of Hasting. Once they are freed from the threat of invaders
body, then it is worth considering how they will deal with Airi Block, who occupies the most important grain-producing area in the region.
In this period that can be called troubled times, strength is the best soil for ambition. Eric does not have much expectations for those Merzai nobles. In fact, he never hesitates to use the most malicious thoughts to consider those nobles.
The moral bottom line of the aristocracy.
In his analysis, in this case, the most likely possibility is that the city of Merzai intends to forcibly control Eli Bullock and use Princess Sylvia as a puppet to achieve great justice.
After Eli Bullock lost his righteousness to fight against the invaders, he had to face Merzai's suppression. There would inevitably be some unnecessary fluctuations in the hearts of the people inside, and it was very likely that he would not be able to resist Merzai's annexation.
Perhaps the other party may not do this, but Eric never believes that placing all hope on others is a praiseworthy thing. One's own strength is the most fundamental, so he needs Melzai to continue to support both parties.
Spending some time in the confrontation will give Eli Bullock time to improve his strength and integrate internally to better face challenges.
Of course, Eric is not asking Ger to let these enemies go back intact. A victory can not only consolidate the hearts of the people, but also enhance the prestige of Silvia's regime, and play a great role in rallying the princes who are on the sidelines.
, as for letting go, that will happen after victory.
Geer had to admit that what Eric said was very likely to happen. After all, the person who knows the most about the psychological state of the powerful must be another powerful person, and Geer also had a deep understanding of the aristocrats - especially this kind of people who were almost breaking the ground.
The nobleman who is the king has a very deep understanding.
But understanding is understanding, whether you want to do what Eric said is another matter.
But after seeing the next few signatures, including Sylvia's, Geer finally decided to act on this request. After all, this already meant the future of this immature regime.
When an interest group is formed, there will only be more and more such things, and this will not change due to individual will.
"After this is completed, it's better to return to San Lotaro as soon as possible."
With a sigh, Geer picked up the long sword and walked out of the camp.
Not far away, a horn sounded, startling countless birds.
A strong gust of wind came late, causing Geer to squint his eyes and touch his cheek, which was slightly sore from the gravel brought by the wind. Geer seemed to have smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke belonging to the battlefield.
The curtain of war has been drawn.
…
"Sir, the wind direction has changed, and we are in the upper wind." The old-fashioned Souness's hair was a little scattered by the wind, but there was a rare smile on his face, and the fluctuation of his voice also changed.
It has to be different from usual size.
"Very good, follow the plan." Manstandin nodded. The unfriendly wind brought good news to the Wayne people, and the grand leader of the Knights couldn't help but secretly pray to the god Slak in his heart.
, grateful to the gods for their blessings.
"Hurry up, it's hard to say how long this wind will last. And there is likely to be heavy rain after this kind of weather. We only have this chance to let everyone abandon everything except weapons, horses and food. At the beginning of the plan, everyone used their best
Move forward quickly, don’t delay!”
"Yes, adult."
Looking at Ce Ma Benz. It is full of vitality as if returning to his youth. Manantin laughed. He looked up and looked at the wind, and then turned his head to look at the wind with a strong air flow.
That night, the knight who jumped in the flames, his face was solemn.
"That's it this time, next time we have a positive victory or defeat!"
Nympho
"Grandpa. It's not good, those cults are setting fire ..."
The scourge of the gray face kept spurning the horses under the body, passing through the camp all the way, and then turning over the horse in front of Gel.
After hearing the words, Geer's pupils tightened slightly, and immediately turned over and kicked the horse's belly. The war horse would start running forward. He quickly left the barracks and came to a slightly taller hill.
Looking at the eyes, the rolling smoke is swepting here, and from time to time in the gray piece, the red that represents the destruction from time to time, a stranded smell comes along the wind.
It can also be felt vaguely.
In this dry season, this fire spreads particularly fast. It is like a big hand composed of flames. Between stretching and shrinking, a large forest land is covered in it, and then the firefighter becomes huge.
"Those bastards!"
Part -time Geer's guardian attendant rushed over and looked at the fire that seemed to have come to the forest.
"Notify everyone. Immediately evacuate, go to Sakaka Valley to avoid it."
Gel immediately issued an order.
The Eric Army immediately operated, and everyone knew how terrible the forest fire was in this season.
Pack up the camp at the fastest speed, and even some things that are not easy to move and simply abandon without bringing. The army quickly turns and starts to rush towards the place where the fire cannot be burned.
Ce Ma Banba was in the middle of the team, and Gel looked back at the sky that was dyed, silent.
Obviously, Manstein Danfang is not to attack Geel's army, but to create a isolation zone, so that Geer cannot continue to chase them in a short time, and give them the opportunity to escape back to Melzy's opportunity to escape back to Melzy.
Then, then, then
It can only be said that Manstein's luck is very good. After this wind direction that is most suitable for setting fire, it successfully blocks Gel's next move.
"Alval, will it rain today?" Geer asked. Although he could notice the water vapor in the air, he could not reach the level of rain.
Alva, who has lived in this forest for decades, has more say.
Alvala looked at the sky, stretched out his fingers, let the wind blow for a while, then retracted, smelled it under his nose, and then answered with certainty: "There is rain at night, and it is heavy rain."
"Well." Gel nodded. Since it was heavy rain, then such a fire could be suppressed. He calculated that the fire extinguished the fire at night.
Then, then, then
However, since Manstein chose to set fire, he would definitely not waste this opportunity, and he would definitely speed up the road. Even if Geer stepped on the road tomorrow, there would not be many opportunities to catch Manstein.
This battle may end.
I also admire the decisiveness shown by Manstantin.
But that's fine, this way Eric's request is fulfilled, and there is no need for Ger to worry about how to win and let go of his opponent.
"The competition is not over yet, I believe we will meet again."
