After traveling day and night, everyone returned to Sageson on the afternoon of the next day after Xie Feng received the letter.

Pushing open the door of the Lord's Hall, Christina had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Xie Feng coming, she said, "You are finally back."

Xie Feng smiled and said: "I rushed back immediately after receiving your letter - so suddenly a war started with the Kingdom of Swadia? Don't you know how powerful the Swadia cavalry is?"

Kristina said: "We don't want to start a war. It was the Kingdom of Swadia that first started a war and invaded our Kingdom of Nord."

Xie Feng thought to himself: "Oh? The bellicose Fourth Ha?"

Kristina continued: "Xie Feng, as an outsider, you may not know the history of Calradia. A long time ago, there was only one country in Calradia - the Kingdom of Swadia."

Xie Feng nodded. He knew this clearly. When he played this game before, he had understood the background of the game. But at that time, the Kingdom of Swadia seemed to be called "Ruidian", right?

Kristina continued: "Later, due to various foreign invasions and wars, the continent of Calradia was divided into six countries - and the ancestors of our Kingdom of Nord came from Yamuna, known as the land of ice and snow. From then on,

The Kingdom of Swadia is frantically trying to regain its previous land and restore the vast territory of the Kingdom of Swadia, and it continues to fight wars - until today."

Xie Feng thought: "This should be the reason why Ha Laosi is so bellicose."

Kristina continued: "Although Calradia was once the kingdom of Swadia - but this was only once, and history will be constantly rewritten. And now, the northern coastal areas of Calradia should also

It is a legal territory belonging to our Kingdom of Nord..."

Hearing this, Xie Feng interjected: "No need to brainwash me, I understand the success of the king and the defeat of the bandits. Don't worry, I won't think that you should return the land to the Kingdom of Swadia."

Seeing that Xie Feng had discovered her intention, Kristina did not blush and continued: "Last month, the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Rhodok signed an armistice agreement - facing the spear of the Kingdom of Rhodok

The regiment, the knights of Swadia had no choice but to return in defeat. Now, after a month of recuperation, King Haraus of the Kingdom of Swadia remembered his ambition to conquer the country and intended to go to war again. "

Kristina took a sip of water and continued: "Among the five surrounding countries, the Kingdom of Swadia is the best to deal with, and the Kingdom of Nord is the one where we have neither cavalry nor spearmen. In my case,

The night before I wrote to you, Jelborg Castle had been captured - which also announced the beginning of the war between the Kingdom of Svadia and the Kingdom of Nord. Therefore, I hope that as a mercenary of the Kingdom of Nord,

You can contribute to this war."

Xie Feng said: "Don't worry, I will never be vague about my responsibilities."

Seeing Xie Feng readily agreed, Christina nodded, took out 15 gold coins and put them on the table, saying: "This is your military expenditure for the past three weeks - a total of 1,500 dinars. Go back and reorganize the team.

, I will lead the troops to go out tomorrow to patrol the border between the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Nord to prevent the invasion of the Kingdom of Swadia - Castle Jellbog has just been captured, Harau

Si will definitely think that we will focus all our attention there and wait for the opportunity to continue to invade our country through other ways - then you should follow suit."

Xie Feng secretly admired Kristina's military talent. He took the money and nodded: "Okay, tomorrow I will lead my 'bandit army' to listen to the Lord's instructions at any time!"

Just as Xie Feng was about to leave, Kristina said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you - a few days ago, a man who called himself the elder of Wayezeji Village came to Sageson to inquire about your whereabouts."

Hearing this, Xie Feng was like a bolt from the blue - because of his own negligence, he killed three young villagers of Wayeseji Village who represented the future of Wayeseji Village. Xie Feng had never dared to talk to Wayeseji Village.

Report the bad news. Now, the villagers saw that no news about the three people had returned to the village, so they came to the door. Naturally, they also went to the training ground to inquire about the situation, and found that the three people in their village had not been to the training ground.

, I have to ask myself for clarification. Oops, I have a headache, I have a headache.

Seeing that Xie Feng's face was not very good, Kristina asked with concern: "Is that so? Did you get into trouble in Wayezeji?"

Xie Feng shook his head and said: "It's okay."

Seeing that Xie Feng didn't really seem to be fine, Christina said, "If there's anything I can do to help, you might as well say it."

Xie Feng continued to shake his head and said: "It's really okay...you still have to solve your own affairs by yourself." After saying that, Xie Feng walked out of the Lord's Hall without looking back.

After leaving the castle, it was already dark. His team probably went to the tavern to party - after all, they had followed him on the expedition for so long, and it was time to relax. Xie Feng recalled the location of the tavern, and then

He walked towards the tavern.

Walking into the tavern, Xie Feng easily found the people enjoying the carnival. Fernande, who was sharp-eyed, saw Xie Feng coming and waved to Xie Feng enthusiastically.

After Xie Feng sat down, Ali, whose face was a little red from drinking, asked: "How is the situation? Xie Feng?"

Xie Feng picked up the glass of ale that the waiter had just served, took a deep sip, and said, "Are you asking about the movement of the team, or about the war?"

Ali said: "Let's talk about the war first."

Xie Feng said: "A few days ago, Jelborg Fort was occupied by the Kingdom of Swadia."

After hearing this, Ali stroked his small beard with his hand and said to himself: "Well, that's not good..."

Minos on the side laughed and said: "Of course it's not good, your map is so outdated, hahahaha!"

Fernand thought for a moment and said: "Then, we should strengthen the defense of other borders."

Effie said while eating: "Huh? Shouldn't we increase the number of troops to control the area near Jelborg Castle? Firstly, we can wait for an opportunity to recapture the castle. Secondly, since the enemy forces are all struggling to capture Jelborg Castle, it will be very difficult.

We may use that as a base to continue our attack.”

Fernand shook his head and said: "It's rare that you can analyze the war situation, but it's a pity that you are wrong."

Effie swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her head and said, "What's wrong?"

Fernand said: "You will think so, the people in the Kingdom of Nord will think so, and the Kingdom of Swadia will think so even more. It is possible that the enemy is using the capture of Jelborg Castle to attract our attention.

force, and then divide the troops to attack from other places."

Effie clapped quickly: "Fernand, you are so smart!"

Fernand continued: "However, it is also possible that the enemy is using a trick to let our troops guard other places, and then start the attack from Fort Jelborg."

Effie said: "Then which side should we guard against?"

Fernand said: "I'm not sure, this can be considered a gamble."

Xie Feng said: "Don't think about it, it's useless to think too much now. Now, what I am sure of is that tomorrow morning we will patrol other borders with the princess's team - you guys have fun tonight, don't play too late

, don’t drink too much, we have to leave tomorrow morning, thank you for your hard work.” The next morning, Xie Feng led his team to the city gate to meet up with Christina’s team.

Kristina brought a lot of people with her on this expedition - a hundred people, including 5 scouts responsible for exploring the path. In comparison, Xie Feng's team of less than 0 people seemed

Too shabby.

Seeing that Xie Feng's team had arrived, Christina stopped talking nonsense and ordered the army to set off.

The army was marching forward in an orderly manner. Five scouts were walking far ahead to explore the road. Christina was wearing armor and riding a white horse at the front of the large team, while Xie Feng was riding a horse.

Liuyan followed Christina closely.

Xie Feng said to Kristina: "Xiao Ke, is there really no problem at Fort Jelborg? If the other side tries to trick him and really starts attacking from there, we will use all our troops to defend other places.

That was not a good time."

Christina looked at Xie Feng with interest and said, "Yo? I didn't expect you still have some brains?"

Xie Feng scratched his head and said: "Well... I didn't think of it. It was a guy named Fernand in my team... He has very strong insight and can temporarily serve as our team's strategist."

Kristina smiled and said, "I knew you didn't want someone with such a good mind, haha."

Xie Feng rolled his eyes at Kristina and thought to himself: "I'm not stupid, right?"

Kristina continued: "Don't worry about this. Over at Jelborg Castle, the original lord of the castle, Olaf Jarl, is more anxious than anyone else. He will keep an eye on Jelborg Castle's movements.

Moreover, if you want to directly attack the Kingdom of Nord from the Kingdom of Swadia, there are not many options to choose from, and the one we are going to go to is the location of your previous training ground - the closest point between the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Nord.

It’s a vast road. If our team travels quickly, we can probably get to Ruda Castle and stay overnight there before night. What I’m worried about now is whether the Kingdom of Swadia will borrow it from the Kingdom of Vigia.

road."

Xie Feng thought about it, and it was the same. Three months ago, because of Serra, Kristina had already made the relationship between the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Vaegia a bit tense. Moreover, the armistice agreement between the two countries seemed to be

It has expired, which means that the Kingdom of Vaegia may launch an attack on the Kingdom of Nord at any time. If the two countries unite to attack the Kingdom of Nord... the situation is obviously not good.

After a moment of silence, Kristina said again: "By the way, Xie Feng. We will pass by Dawa Yezeji Village before noon. You seem to have some things to deal with, do you want to..."

Xie Feng swallowed a sip of saliva. He couldn't hide from what he had to face, so he said: "When the time comes, just wait for me for a while..."

Seeing what Xie Feng said, Christina stopped asking questions.

When it was close to noon, a scout from the front suddenly turned back on his horse and rushed to Kristina, saying: "Report sir! The front is approaching the village of Wayeseji, but a large number of troops are concentrated in the village, and they seem to be burning the village."

Kristina was horrified and said: "What did you say?... Give the order, and the whole army will advance at full speed!" After saying that, Kristina clamped her legs together, and the white horse under her crotch immediately accelerated.

Xie Feng hurriedly followed up and said: "Xiao Ke, my horse is faster, do you want me to go and inquire about the situation first?"

Kristina didn't say anything, and waved her hand to signal Xie Feng to go.

Xie Feng galloped his horse and soon came to the vicinity of Wayeseji Village. After a closer look, it was true that troops appeared at the entrance of the village to look at the troops, while the villagers in the village were fleeing from other exits.

And those troops...are actually dressed in the attire of the Kingdom of Vaegiya?

Xie Feng quickly rode back to Kristina and said, "Xiao Ke, it's not good. There are nearly two hundred people in the army, all wearing Vaegian army uniforms." Xie Feng was careful not to say anything.

It is "Vegian army" and "wearing the uniform of Vaegian army". This is because when learning the knowledge of spies from Schell, Schell once told himself: when reporting on intelligence in the future, he must "see

You should never make a conclusion easily. For example, if you see a person and he says his name is so-and-so, you cannot say "a person named so-and-so" when reporting back, but you should say "there is a person who calls himself so-and-so".

"Someone". This is something that any spy must pay attention to, because any reckless judgment on any detail may affect the entire situation.

Kristina frowned and said: "Two hundred people... we still have the strength to fight."

Xie Feng said: "Xiao Ke, if those troops are really from the Kingdom of Vadiya, it might be bad. It would be better if they simply took advantage of the situation, but if they have united with the Kingdom of Swadia to deal with us..."

Kristina waved her hand and said: "It's useless to make baseless guesses like yours. First of all, you have to feel suspicious. Why did the Lord of Tichlog Castle not send any signal in the face of such a large group of teams?

?”

Yes, there is Tikhlog Fort near Vayezegi. Logically speaking, when encountering such a large number of troops, even if the lord is arrogant and unwilling to light the beacon signal, he should send troops to stop it.
To be continued...
