In August, the sun is so hot that even the wind is filled with a sultry atmosphere. The farmland around Tignets County is dotted with green wheat fields, growing happily. The farmers bent over and faced the earth, carefully fiddling in the fields.

Since the Battle of the Successors, the war has continued to continue. In this Battle of the Successors, both sides have tried their best to recruit and send all the young and strong serfs and free people who should have worked in the fields to the front-line battlefield, which directly affected the sowing and harvest of grain. The consequence is that it is difficult to see crops in the wheat fields that should have been green, but are covered with waist-length weeds... Occasionally, I saw someone working in the fields, and the old farmers with gray hair and staggering hair were fiddling on the fields~

On the other hand, the surrounding farmland was busy at this time. Although the land of Tignets County was not fertile, it could even be said to be a bit barren. However, thanks to the distance from the war in the Bernard and the series of decrees issued by Viscount Yat, the new Viscount of Tignets County, this barren land in the south was far away from the war in the north. It was step by step, sowing when it was time to sow when it was time to sow and when it was time to weed. Therefore, it is hard for anyone to believe that when almost the entire Bernard was involved in this damn battle of successors, this remote place that was ignored by the world could still maintain normal life and work...

At this time, the city of Tignets was also crowded with people. The streets of the county were not as wide as the city streets were crowded with bustling crowds. With the bell ringing on the city wall in the morning, Tignets's life began. When the huge oak gate was opened by the two soldiers guarding the city, vendors who had already been waiting on both sides of the city gate to sell and purchase goods were in and out under the guidance of the soldiers.

The tax collectors sitting on both sides of the gate of the county town held a quill pen in their hands, and recorded the taxes that traders should pay on the birch bark used for writing. These tax collectors were actually not very old, and some even looked a little immature. But don’t be confused by this young appearance. Although these people are young, they are familiar with tax methods. Because they are full-time clerks from the Southern Valley School, they are not only responsible for the collection of commercial taxes, but also for the payment of salaries for soldiers in Tignets County and the collection and verification of taxes in villages and territories in various places.

As early as when Yat took over Tinets County, she had already signaled the civil affairs officer Coober to arrange the full-time talents trained in the Valley School to various parts of the county as Yat's capable assistant to manage county affairs. It is worthy of Yat's hard work. These people faithfully fulfilled their duties in their respective positions, and managed the county towns in an orderly manner, making the county town business increasingly prosperous.

"Andre, call your people and follow me to check the levels outside the city." The Tinets County Army Base of the 2nd Branch of the Wells Legion, the captain of the 1st Company of the 2nd Branch of the Wells Legion, said to Andrei, the captain of the 1st Company.

Since Yat was awarded the title of Tignets County, this local guy born in Tinets has been promoted to the company captain of the first company of the Second Division of the Wells Legion, and his subordinates have managed nearly 200 Tignets County soldiers. Wall was originally the captain of the Tignets County soldiers. When Yat was still a hunter, he had already met Yat. Although he liked to be greedy for a little bit of money, he was pretty good.

"Sir, do you need to worry about this little thing? Just leave it to me to do it." Andrey quickly replied.

"No, Lord Yat specifically explained before leaving, asking me to maintain good security in the county. The north is not peaceful now, maybe when Tinets County will..." Walton paused.

Andre stared at Wall in confusion.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, call your people and set off right away!" Before Andre could speak again, Wall had already strode towards the stable next to the gate of the station.

On the road leading to the South City Gate, Wall rode his horse in front, followed by five county soldiers, including Andre, and soon arrived at the city gate.

At this time, at the gate of the south city of Tignets County, the sun was scorching. Wall wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand, and took the wine bag from his waist and poured it into his mouth with the other hand.

Seeing that several tax collectors at the city gate were still busy, Wall stopped, handed the reins to the soldiers beside him, and walked straight to the bottom of the door opening.

"Mr. Wall!" The tax collector saw Wall coming and quickly stood up to greet him.

"Thank you guys for your hard work, brothers." As he said that, he asked his subordinates to hand over a bag of wine to several people.

"It's too hot, drink some wine to quench your thirst, it's a little bit."

The tax collector quickly stepped forward to take the wine bag and kept bent down to express his gratitude.

After coming out of the city gate, Andre, who was standing beside Wall, finally couldn't hold it in.

"Sir, they are just small tax collectors. Why do you have to personally deliver wine to them? They are worthy of it."

Wall looked sideways at Andre and said with a smile, "You don't understand this. They are Lord Yat's right-hand assistants, in charge of the tax affairs of Tignets County, and are also responsible for accounting and payment of county soldiers. Establishing good relations with them will be beneficial or harmful to us. Maybe we can even speak a few good words for us in front of Lord Yat. At that time, it will be possible to get promoted and make a fortune..." Wall looked proud.

Andrei tilted his mouth and thought for a while, flatteringly, "Sir, how clever are you?"

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha..." The two laughed out loud.

While speaking, two black shadows appeared on the hillside half a mile from the city gate. Behind them, sand and dust were flying everywhere, and war horses were roaring all the way towards several people.

"There is an enemy!" Just as the two of them laughed, one of the county soldiers suddenly shouted.

"Wow~~~"

When Wall heard this, he was so scared that he quickly tied the reins. The others also pulled out the short swords at their waists, their faces full of horror.

"Sir, there are cavalry on the hillside over there!" Wall looked in the direction the county soldiers pointed.

For a moment, two fast horses galloped down the hillside and galloped towards several people.

"There are only two of them, don't worry, listen to my orders." Wall said nervously to the soldiers beside him who had drawn their swords to fight the enemy.

After a while, the two cavalrymen were less than five hundred steps away from several people.

"Sir, they, they seem to be our people." Andrei blocked the dazzling sunlight with his left hand, and his eyes narrowed and stared at the two shadows getting closer and closer.

"You bastard, have you seen it clearly?" Wall said to Andrei, who looked up at his left.

"I can see clearly that it is really ours. They are wearing black cloaks and there is no one else except ours."

"It seems to be true." Wall replied.

"Wow~~~" The two cavalrymen stopped their horses and stopped twenty steps away from the few people.

Wall and his men stood there.

"It's the contingent's Chief Oliver." Andre immediately recognized the person.

Oliver and the other men took off their hoods and slowly got off the horse's back without moving.

"It turns out it's Brother Oliver." Wall hurried forward.

The two of them fell down on their knees.

"Oliver!" Wall shouted when he saw this, quickly ran forward, and helped Oliver to the ground.

When he walked forward, he saw that Oliver's face was covered in dust, his lips were chapped, bloodshot, his eyes were dull, and his face was exhausted.

"Brother Oliver, what's wrong with you, why are you two?"

"Water~water~" Oliver said weakly.

"Hurry, give me the water." Wall took the water bag and slowly poured the water into Oliver's mouth. The other person had fainted on the ground, and several county soldiers surrounded him, at a loss.

Oliver took a little water and took a breath.

"Brother Oliver, why are you like this, where are they?" Wall asked anxiously.

"Can..." Andre beside him muttered.

Wall glanced at Andre with a sad expression. He really didn't want Andre to say what he didn't say was true.

"Sir~Sir, they're fine." Oliver said weakly.

"Quick~ Send troops, send troops to rescue Fort Marsey..." Oliver's eyes turned dark and he fainted.

Wall looked at Oliver who fainted, and looked around at everyone, muttering,

"What should be come or not."

…………

At the North Pass Army Fort in the Valley, Bass, the commander of the Wells Legion garrison, was training new peasant soldiers in the airfield.

"Prepare, sting!"

"cut!"

...

After Yat took the First Division of the Wells Legion to fight, Bass, as the commander of the garrison army, was responsible for recruiting and training peasants during this period, and also took into account the defense and public security in the territory. He was busy every day.

As one of the first people to follow Yat, Bass has long been familiar with Legion affairs. Although he is very busy, everything is going on in an orderly manner under his management.

"Okay, let's get to the training today. It's good for everyone to figure out the key points of the movements after they go back. Don't just know how to drink and eat meat to find women all day long."

"Hahaha..." The peasants burst into laughter.

"If you don't train carefully today and don't sweat much, if you arrive at the battlefield one day, you will be bleeding!"

"Did you hear it clearly?" Bass shouted.

"Yes!" The peasants and soldiers spoke in unison.

"Okay, let's all disperse." After that, everyone on the training ground scattered.

Bass had just turned around and was about to walk towards the wine on the table in the fort hall. A neigh of a war horse interrupted his pace.

"Report!"

"Letter from the sub-group leader, Tinets County City."

After saying that, the messenger jumped off his horse and ran towards Bass quickly.

This is a garrison commander from Jushi Town, responsible for the connection between Tinets and the valley and other Atlantic territories and the valley. This morning, Tinets sent a letter to the messenger. Since it was a major military order, the garrison commander of the Jushi Town had no right to make a decision, so Pegasus quickly reported to Bass, the commander of the Guard Legion.

"Wells' Third Division of the Wells Legion met the order and crossed the mountain path between Thorne and Kodor provinces westward to reinforce Fort Marsey. The military situation is urgent and there must be no mistakes!" Bass took the order and read it softly.

"Messenger!" Bass stood at the entrance of the military fort hall and shouted at the Messenger.

"exist!"

"Immediately go to the valley to inform the civil affairs officer, Lord Cooper and the garrison officer, Scott, to come to the Beiguan Military Fort for military discussion, and said there was a major military situation."

"Yes!" The messenger led the order to run towards the military fort stables.

The Beiguan Military Fort military discussion did not last long due to military emergency. Several military and civilian officials from several valleys made three resolutions after discussion.

1. All standing peasant soldiers, registered peasant soldiers, and some garrisons in Jushi Town were immediately gathered. In addition, another 150 young and strong peasant soldiers were recruited in the territory, one hundred of whom followed the garrison army to fight, and another fifty people stayed at the Beiguan Army Fort, and Scott temporarily took over as the head of the garrison army.

2. He immediately sent a messenger to Fort Andermatt, and ordered Baron Antayas to lead 150 soldiers into Tinets County, of which 100 were with the army, leaving fifty people to maintain the order of the county and prevent outsiders from causing trouble.

3. The Civil Affairs immediately prepared a large army to conquer food, grass and supplies, and at the same time collected food from the territorial people in case of emergency needs.

On the third day after the military discussion, the third branch of the Wells Legion, led by Bass, left Jushi Town north and headed north to Tinets County, and joined forces with 100 Fort Andermatt and 150 Tignes County soldiers. Then he accelerated his march and rushed towards the mountain path between Thorne and Kodor.

"Look at you, you know how to fight all day long, and you don't know how to spend time with me..."

Inside the Sapburg Castle, Mrs. Galvin looked sad, and loved and hated Felix, the future owner of this Sapburg Castle and the only son of the Yuge family.

After receiving the order from Yat, Phoenix was like crazy. He was not on the ground for nearly two days. While busy gathering troops and deploying the defense of the Sap Fort, he was preparing for the food and supplies of the troops to go out to fight.

"I said, mother, you should be happy for me, why do you still look depressed? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am responsible for the revival of the Yuge family." Phoenix was excited.

"If we don't seize this opportunity to make contributions, our Yuge family will always be rich businessmen in the eyes of others, and our father will not be able to raise his head in front of those old-fashioned nobles and powerful ministers. If I have military merits, I think who dares to look down on our Yuge family."

Mrs. Galvin stopped talking. She knew that her child had grown up and that Phoenix was no longer the dandy and arrogant noble master. He had clear goals and ambitiousness. Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved in her heart and stopped saying anything.

According to Yat's order, the Sap army included the first company of the Second Regiment of the Sap Legion and the 3rd Division of the Wells Legion who had already entered Sap Fort in the early stage. Under the leadership of Phoenix, the company captain of the Second Company, the Sap Army, went west to Tiaoshi Fort, and joined forces with the Longxia Leader to the north, and lurked and stood on standby.

…………

There was a busy scene in Fort Marsi at this time, and the soldiers of the Wells Legion were not idle.

Some were strengthening the city walls, carpenters and blacksmiths were making arrows, and there were also baggage teams who had just returned from collecting food and grass outside the city. The city walls were already filled with huge rocks, tinder oil and rolling wood for guarding the city...
