The next day, Marshal Jiu Zhan of the Tingxiao Empire sent someone to send a letter of war. The book said respectfully and had no intention of provocation. First, he praised King Kelman's courage to personally lead the army to the front line and expressed his sincere admiration. Finally, he sincerely invited Kelman to decide with him on the Marold Plain on February 15th.

Kelman looked at the war letter on the table and didn't care much, after all, it was expected. However, an accelerated war report from Newin made Kelman very worried. The war report was delivered in the morning. Kelman immediately summoned all officers of the corps commander and above (including the corps commander) to discuss the matter. The crowd was summoned to wait in the hall of the castle's main watchtower without even having breakfast.

The highest rank present was naturally Prince Resa, and then there were Earls of Ferrey and Governor Yuankam at the command level, and then there were more than a dozen legion commanders such as Duke Nandon and Duke Yasugi.

The sand table has been installed in the center of the main hall, and the troops, strongholds and major cities of Tingxiao and Yafei are clearly marked. On the march routes between the two sides, even the marching scenes of the soldiers are displayed on the sand table through magic. Basically, the current battle situation is clearly visible on the sand table.

"Look at it all." Kelman pointed at the sand table, and war immediately broke out around Sidou City on the east coast, and the guards of Yafei soldiers were fighting fiercely with the Tingxiao people on the top of the city.

"What? The Tingxiao people on the Eastern Front battlefield have already reached Situ City?" Duke Nandun said in surprise.

Many officers present also showed the same expression as Duke Nandun. Obviously, these people did not expect the mercenaries hired to advance so quickly on the eastern battlefield.

"It's not just about attacking Sidou City, they surrounded Sidou City. Now there are 50,000 or 60,000 Tingxiao mercenaries outside Sidou City." Kelman said with a frown.

Now the officers began to whisper.

"Sito City is the largest city on the east coastline, with a provincial highway leading directly to Nüyin City. Once this city is broken, these mercenaries who regard wealth as their lives will definitely go straight to Nüyin City in the northwest along the provincial highway, and then our retreat will be cut off." Earl Feilie analyzed.

"Nuyin City is the logistics transport hub for this battle, so there must be no mistakes." Earl of Cesan said. Some officers also agreed upon when they heard this.

"At that time, the prince was confident that he would not lose a city or a land after returning to Maine. Now the Tingxiao people swept in the Eastern Front battlefield. This..." Governor Yuan Kang said as he glanced at Prince Reza.

At this time, no one in the palace spoke.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister does not stick to the battlefield on the Eastern Front. It's that the city of Sidor goes north and there is really no way to defend. If you send troops to guard the small castle along the way, it's tantamount to sending these elite Maine to the Tingxiao people to eat. Therefore, the old minister decided to send only troops to guard the most critical city of Sidor." Resa explained.

"But Situo City is surrounded now, and it will not take long to break this." Yuan Kang said lightly.

"At that time, Jiu Zhan led more than 100,000 people to kill under the wall of Yiling Bernard. I had only 70,000 people in my hand. I also divided 5,000 to collect Xituo City, and there were thousands more people defending the monsters on the south side of the mountain range. Governor Yuankang, do you teach me, should I send more people to Xituo City, fortunately, I lost this Lianshan City to Jiu Zhan before His Majesty arrived here? Is this what you think of your heart?" Resa replied coldly.

Yuan Kang also looked bad, "Prince, what do you mean? You..."

He was about to fight back when he was interrupted by Kelman.

"Okay!" Kelman said angrily, "When is it that there is still time to argue here, can you get rid of the enemy by quarrel?"

The scene was completely quiet.

"How long can the five thousand people in Sidor last?" Kelman glanced at Prince Resa.

"Your Majesty, the city of Situo is strong, and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is definitely not something that those miscellaneous mercenaries can capture by relying on their number of people." Resa replied in a deep voice.

Although the prince said this, most people in the field did not believe it. Even Kelman felt that Reza was too optimistic about Sidor City.

"Ha." Yuan Kang sneered, and because His Majesty got angry just now, he did not continue to ridicule.

"Your Majesty, although the prince said this, the number of people siege by the other party has reached more than ten times that of the defenders. The old minister thinks it is better to be careful. Now a group of people should be sent to rescue Sidou City." Duke Sishan said.

"Yes..." Many people also agree with Duke Masania.

Seeing that most people agreed to send reinforcements to Sidor City, Resa didn't say anything more.

"I'm still wondering why Jiu Zhan asked me to wait for February 15th to fight him again. It turned out that he was waiting for his mercenaries to fight us behind and wanted to fight again while our morale was unstable, but he thought it was too simple." Kelman sneered.

"Who would like to lead the army to Sidor City to rescue the siege?" King Kelman glanced at the officers around him.

No one left the list for a while, and no one was a fool. At this time, even if you went to Xituo City, even if you suppress all the Tingxiao mercenaries, you still had to share the achievements with Prince Resa's defenders. How could you stay at the front line of Yiling Berner Castle to kill these Tingxiao's regular troops?

"Is no one willing to go?" Kelman's voice turned cold.

For a moment, the palace was silent.

"Or why do you let these mercenaries who are following you go to rescue the siege?" The representative officer of the Military Affairs Department asked in a low voice.

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought. Many people thought about it carefully and found that this attention seemed good. No one was at a loss without sending out regular troops. So they let these mercenaries and Tingxiao's mercenaries fight.

So many people really nodded repeatedly and praised the representative of the Military Affairs Department.

Only Prince Resa, Earl of Feilie, Governor Yuankang, Duke of Ceshan, and Duke Nanton were still clear-headed and didn't say a word.

"Nothing!" Kelman slapped the mahogany railing on the edge of the sand table, "You didn't eat a meal, and you were all so hungry that you were not good at it? Let these mercenary groups who were more profit-oriented and did not obey the orders go to rescue them, then you would be like letting the soldiers of Sidor City fend for themselves?"

Seeing His Majesty furious, the military conference fell into silence again.

"The old minister is willing to lead his army to rescue Sidou City." Duke Nandun glanced at the people around him and stood up and said. After hearing this, many officers glared at him and couldn't help but turn their heads and show a look of gratitude to this colleague who "sacrifices himself for others".

"The old minister is willing to go." Duke Sugi also stood up at this time.

When Kelman saw the two who stood up, he thought for a while and felt that they were indeed suitable for him. Although these two were not independent generals, they were successful in practicing and calm. It should be no problem to go to help Situo City.

However, Kelman still looked at Earl Feilie, and Earl Feilie nodded slightly.

"Okay, then you two go. Nandun is the main general and Shishan is the deputy general. You two lead 5,000 troops each and rush to Sidou City to rescue immediately. No mistakes are possible. Do you understand?" Kelman said sternly.

"I understand. The old minister has fulfilled his mission." Nandun and Eshan took the order and left.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, the four-sided mercenary group heading north along the coastline was still advancing towards Situ City. Because there was no starry night journey, the four-sided mercenary group was still energetic at this time. When less than five miles away from Situ City, you could already see the smoke and dust in the distance, and the smell of gunpowder in the air was quite heavy. After walking for another mile or two, you could already see the Situ City living in the mountains from afar. Looking at the thick smoke rising from the city wall, if you prick up your ears and listen carefully, you could actually hear the dense shouts of killing.

"Qiao Zhi, you will lead twenty agile assassins to discuss the situation ahead. Remember to be careful." Lai Wu ordered to Qiao Zhi, the strong man beside him.

So Qiao Zhi led twenty cavalry to break away from the large army and followed the path to the sparse mountain forest in front. Instead, Lai Wu stopped the large army and waved to Alvin on the airboat, meaning not to move forward any further.

Since the last Fevony Forest, Qiao Zhi has been Lai Wu's most reliable source of information on the battlefield. These assassins were arranged by Lai Wu for him. They do not need to take action when fighting head-on, they just need to listen to Qiao Zhi's arrangements and inquire about the information in every corner of the battlefield.

Alvin looked further on the airboat, and crossed the forest in front of him, and it was the road of the road. Looking into the distance, although it was not clear that the dense black dots were all figures, and Situo City was located at the end of the mountain path. Who could imagine that there was a huge city on this steep hillside, a city surrounded by mountains and seas.

Looking down, the provincial road connected to the mountain road was no longer clear, and Alvin began to pray in his heart that the black shadows would be better not to be human.

Alvin quickly asked Kuiqing to lower the airship. At this time, Qiao Zhi also rode back on the "Dream Horse", with a very solemn expression on her face.

"Are they all humans?" Alvin asked at Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi nodded a few times, with an unbelievable expression on her face, "I took a look. There were at least 30,000 to 40,000 people on the way from the provincial highway to the mountain. These Tingxiao people have surrounded the mountain roads of Xituo City to the point of being blocked."

"Can you still go out of the forest in front?" Lai Wu asked.

"No, once we leave the forest, we will encounter the large army of the Tingxiao people. When we go out, it is tantamount to killing us." Qiao Zhi's tone was very affirmative.

At this time, the other assassins also came back one after another, basically bringing back the same news - the exit to the northeast of the mountain forest had been blocked by the Tingxiao army.

Qiao Zhi ordered the number of people, and three assassins had not returned yet, so it was probably a bad situation.

"Are those tens of thousands of Tingxiao people regular soldiers? Or mercenaries?" Lai Wu asked again.

"Looking at the various flags, they should be mercenaries." George replied.

Lai Wu nodded and began to ponder.

Alvin and Lai Wu were in trouble. After pondering for a while, Lai Wu made a decision that surprised everyone - everyone was on the airship.

With the order of Lai Wu, all available combatants were on the airship, leaving about ten wounded soldiers stationed on the spot, actually leaving only to take care of these horses who could not bring them to the airship. Chen Zhu and Kaiba, who were originally lying in the carriage, were also carried to the airship. The two of them looked confused and had no idea what was going on outside.

There were already more than a hundred magicians on the airship, and now more than 300 people rushed up. In addition, the original supplies in the cabin and the armor installed around the airship, all the weights of this combined have obviously exceeded the load load, so the current flight speed is very slow, and the steering and pulling have become very slow. The little girl Kuiqing struggled to control it, and Alvin was helpless when he watched from the side.

In this way, a "heavy" air boat headed towards Sidor City two miles away.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Royal Camp of Yiling Berner Castle.

Duke Nandon and Duke Kasan had already set up 10,000 troops and set out from Lianshan City toward Situo City.

"Brother Nandun, can you ask, why are you going to rescue the city of Sidor?" Duke Shishan on his horse suddenly turned his head for no reason and asked.

"There's no way. I have an incredible son and I have to build a mercenary group by myself. I didn't see anyone along the way. I thought I was just a slow marching and didn't follow the large army. Unexpectedly, when I went to the Military Affairs Department yesterday, I found that this guy had passed Fengtie Fort and disappeared. I thought with his personality, he should have gone to the east coast to fight for luck. I am also in a difficult life, and I will be tossed by these children at this age." Duke Nandun sighed bitterly.

If he knew that Lai Wu was commanding a few hundred airships to fly over tens of thousands of people at this time, he would probably fall from his horse in shock.

"Is it the child named Lai Wu?" Duke Shan asked curiously, "The child looks quite clever."

"Oh, he can still get into your eyes with you, brother? Then you are so proud of me." Nandun smiled, "My sons know how to spend money from me without doing their jobs all day long. It's really far from yours."

"Oh, it's all the same, the same ones don't worry. My child fell in love with the girl from the prince's family and couldn't stand it, so he begged me to go and explore the prince's words." Ce Shan said angrily.

"Oh? What did the prince say?" Nandun was also interested.

"The prince is quite encouraged, but the girl looks down on me. My son also knows why he was defeated. One night he came back and made a fuss all night. Oh, he was disturbed by him in the mansion." Duke Shan smiled bitterly, "Look, this time, he doesn't even want to come to the front line of Maine, and said he doesn't want to see the girl in the prince's family again."

"Brother Ce Shan, I think it's not that he doesn't want to come, it's that you don't bring him here..." Nandun looked at Ce Shan with a deep smile.

"Brother, where do you say this?" Ce Shan stagnated for a moment, looking puzzled.

"Hehe, brother, you follow me to rescue Xituo City today. If you don't take advantage of the great military achievements, how can I still not understand your thoughts? Don't forget, you and I have been in this court for so many years." Nandun joked.

"Yes, I'm afraid this military merit is not easy to make. I'd better leave it to the young people." Zhi Shan sighed, and then joked at Nandun: "Brother, you have brought all your family members in the Royal Legion. If you don't notice anything, I don't believe it."

"Ha, brother, you're quite careful. But I'll tell you, it's another story if you don't notice it. I've heard that the prince's second son has been ruined." After saying that, Nandun looked at Le Shan, "It is said that even his martial arts cultivation has been ruined, his face has been ruined, and he has become a ruined person. Putting his heart in mind, who can treat me as if I can swallow this breath when I see my son being tortured like this?"

"Ah? There is also this? The child's face was labeled like that by the princess. No one is wrong, but for a long time, how could his cultivation be destroyed?" E Shan asked in a low voice with a look of surprise.

"I don't know if this matter is what Your Majesty meant. Maybe someone might use His Majesty to revenge his personal grievances. However, if the prince himself did not raise it, naturally no one would pursue it. Maybe Your Majesty doesn't know about it yet." Nandun said.

"That brother...who will win this time?" Ce Shan asked carefully staring at Nandun.

Nandun couldn't answer for a moment, pondered for a while, and said helplessly: "I probably can't guess my ability."

"Who isn't?" Shi Shan also laughed awkwardly when he heard this.

"Hey, by the way, do you know that old guy Qianxiao?" Nandun asked again.

"Duke Qianxiao? When you talk about him, I seem to have never seen him since I came to Yiling Bernard Castle. I didn't seem to have seen him at today's meeting. Where are the others?" Ce Shan said curiously.

"This old guy is much smarter than us. When he passed by Newin City, he said that it was cold that day, and the old man had his legs that were cold and he couldn't walk anymore. His Majesty also knew about his legs, so he allowed him to get sick there." Duke Nandun smiled.
