Chapter 175 Excuse

"Cedrus?" Hedgel frowned and repeated it.

"Yes." The person who said to him was Ditrue. I guess he felt that Hedgear didn't understand, so he explained again, "We must go to Cedrus now, because only there is brown-core rock grass there."

"But..." Hejar looked hesitant.

"I know that if I have to go to Cedrus now, it will take a long time, but if I don't have the Brown-core Rock Grass, I can't prepare the antidote." Ditrue said.

"But it's spring now, and there's a lot of danger there." Hegar obviously knew Cedrus's situation and said immediately.

"I know, but there is only one way now," Ditrue said. "If we don't find the antidote, it will be useless even if we go to the Imperial City now, right?"

"..." Hejar was silent for a moment. It was indeed the case, but he asked immediately, "Master Ditru, are you really sure that you can prepare the antidote after you get the Brown-core Rock Grass?"

"Of course!" Ditrue immediately stood up and said, "Are you questioning my abilities? If so, don't believe me, I won't care about this."

"Of course not." Hejar said immediately. Although Ditrue failed not only in the previous few times, he also caused so many troubles, he was the most powerful pharmacist in their country. Who else could he believe if he didn't believe it?"

"Master Ditrue, don't be impatient." Ye Junwen, who was sitting next to him, also spoke at this time, "Uncle, I think I can only go to Cedrus now. If we rush back to the imperial city, although we may be able to catch up with the decisive battle in the imperial city, we have now lost our righteousness. Duke Seleto is now questioning the royal bloodline, but he also used such a poisonous plan to make the royal family unable to explain. Now even if we arrive and destroy them, we may be said to be killing people and silence things. At present, because of this, the soldiers do not have the fighting spirit of fighting. Such troops cannot win any battles. In addition to the situation inside the imperial city, we may even be defeated. So the most important thing now is to solve this problem first."

"I know what you said, too." Hejar nodded. The situation in the main city seemed to be circulating in the army. I don't know if it was the news that the remaining Duke Seleto's spies were deliberately spread, but it really made the soldiers very shaken. Fortunately, this is just a rumor at present. As long as the royal family does not show up and exposes the current situation, the soldiers should just shake it, but it cannot be kept in the heat. Of course, the best way is to let the emperor show up immediately.

"But the problem now is that the imperial city can't wait." Hejar said, "Now the people in the imperial city are in a turmoil. They have been besieged for many days. Now it is even more dangerous. If we go to Cedrus, it will take a lot of time. If we are broken into the city..."

"If the city is broken, it is God's will." Ye Junwen said, "We have done all our efforts, aren't we? There are some things in this world that can only depend on God's will. We should do what we can do as much as possible, and leave the rest to the great gods to decide."

"Well..." It was obvious that Hejar was still a little hesitant, but he nodded. He didn't know what to do. Maybe what Ye Junwen said was right.

"Actually, as long as you have speed, it won't take long." Ye Junwen said, "I think those new weapons of the Tang Dynasty can just restrain those dragon-throated birds."

"This is..." Hejar nodded. The most troublesome thing about those things is that they can fly and are fast, and these weapons happen to be long-range, which seems to be really feasible. Thinking of this, Hejar nodded, "Since that's the case, set off right away."

Yes, this is actually Ye Junwen's delay plan. Now what I am waiting for is the winner and loser in the imperial city. Ye Junwen is good at fisherman's profit, so he needs to delay a little time, and this is the countermeasure discussed by Ye Junwen and Ditlu.

Ditrue was still convinced by Ye Junwen because he didn't attach much importance to who is an emperor. Anyway, as long as this aspect remains unchanged, it would be a good thing to change the emperor. After all, he turned the prince into a dog, and everyone was worried that the emperor would settle the score later, so Ye Junwen's proposal was still a good thing for him.

Since this is the case, Ditrue also helped to think of a solution. There was a place called Cedrus to the west of this place. There was a special medicinal herb called Brown-core Rock Grass. This kind of thing is very rare. Not only grow in this place, it is also on a relatively high rock mountain.

What's even more troublesome is that there is another dangerous creature in the place where the brown-core rock grass grows, called the dragon-throated bird. According to Ditrue, this bird is huge in size and can also release magic. It is a level 4 monster. It's very difficult to deal with, and the number is particularly large, because Cedrus happens to be the breeding ground for these monsters, and this season is the breeding season for the dragon-throated bird.

Dragon-throated birds are birds similar to migratory birds. They will come to the Cedrus area to breed every spring, and then leave in the autumn and go to a more southern place. Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if brown-core rock grass is needed, local people will collect it in autumn and winter. It is prohibited to enter the breeding area of ​​Dragon-throated birds in spring and summer. Because it is the breeding season, in order to protect their cubs, these Dragon-throated birds will actively attack those entering their territory.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Ye Junwen and DiTru said that they need something like brown core rock grass. Otherwise, if you have ordinary medicinal materials, you can just find a way to go from other places. This medicinal material has no output in this season and cannot be preserved for a long time. Therefore, you can only get fresh brown core rock grass by yourself.

And Ditrue needs a lot of things. If only a little is needed, it is possible to find it, or just send some experts to a trip. But if there are a lot of things needed, then there is only one way, which is to send troops.

Of course, this is just an excuse. Ditrue himself hadn't thought about what materials to use, and he hadn't figured out why the previous experiment failed. This was just a way to delay time when he and Ye Junwen thought. Once he said that, the troops could only go to the Cedrus area.

Indeed, Ditrue also proposed many other solutions, but Ye Junwen also had one more reason to choose this, that is, the Cedrus area is just southwest, and the imperial city is on the west side of them, so they are equivalent to walking to the rear of the rebels. If they act like this, it is obvious that they are stimulating the rebels. Because it seems that they want to cut off the rebels' retreat, so this is forcing the rebels to act quickly.

In this case, the rebels should seize the time. Of course, Ye Junwen doesn't know whether it works. If they really wait until they find the Brown Rock Grass and the rebels here have not yet decided on the victory or defeat with the troops in the imperial city, Ye Junwen will have no choice and will be ready to show up with He Jiaer.

So in fact, after such a big circle, Ye Junwen just wanted to try to save Hejar. As he said, do his best and leave his destiny. He really gave Hejar a chance. Whether he could save it or not is really up to the sky. For him, he had to wait for the victory or defeat in the main city anyway. He had nothing to do during this period, so he just thought it was just to stroll around and pass the time.

Ye Junwen expected that He Jiaer agreed to the action, after all, there was something else to do. After all, he heard He Jiaer say to set off immediately, Ye Junwen also interrupted the other party: "Although I want to set off quickly, there is still a more troublesome question at present, what should the prisoners here do..."

"Yes." Hejar also reacted. There were still 50,000 troops from the Fifth Legion here. They couldn't just leave them here. It seemed that it was not appropriate to take them away.

"Let's reorganize it first." Ye Junwen said, "After all, they are soldiers of the Saint Wayland Empire. They just follow Conrad's orders. We can't kill them all."

"Yes." Of course, Hejar agreed to this point, and had promised Conrad not to kill these prisoners.

"It just so happens that our troops have suffered a lot of losses, and the organization is now very messy. These soldiers are good sources of soldiers, so if they are disrupted and integrated into the troops, what do you think?" Ye Junwen said.

"Well, I agree." Hejar nodded. Of course, this is also risky. For example, if they still have the intention of rebellion, it would be very dangerous to integrate into their troops, so there may be mutiny or something. However, Ye Junwen felt that these soldiers would not be able to get confused if they lost their heads, as long as Conrad was optimistic.

Of course, this is also a way to delay time. Integration also takes time. If Ye Junwen didn't delay time, it would be possible to really cheat these prisoners, but now it's just that time is just waiting for it.

So it took another two days, Ye Junwen and He Jiaer worked hard to rectify their troops. This time the joint legion expanded to more than 160,000 troops. The reorganization process was quite smooth, and these soldiers didn't say anything. They all felt that rebellion was impossible to succeed. After all, the First and Second Legion was so powerful that if the rebellion failed, it would be a rebellion and would be beheaded. Now the reorganization was, but it saved their lives, so of course they were willing to do so.
