Chapter 1 Difficulties

The dusk in late spring always comes very quickly, and the water vapor evaporated by the sunlight in the mountains has dissipated.

The sun set into the western mountain. So, the mist in the valley drove away the white mist and wandered down the mountain with a strong coolness; and the shadow of the mountain pressed against the village faster, and the shadow became thicker and thicker, gradually mixed with the night, but soon, it was silver-grayed by the moon.

Roger rode on his horse and looked at Linxi Town, which had been thrown behind him, and then looked at the boundary marker in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had finally gone abroad. This was the first time since his rebirth that he had left Baissus.

"Brother Roger, not far ahead is the original garrison of our country's Lightning Corps. I heard from the commander of the Del Legion that some food and equipment were still left. Let's rest here for a night to make up for it." Annie rode a horse behind Roger and said.

"Oh, okay!" Roger came back from his thoughts at this time and asked as he walked: "Annie, how sure are you to convince the Rock Legion to surrender?"

"To be honest, I really have no confidence. Although Winter, the commander of the Rock Legion, was originally loyal to my father on the surface, he was recommended by Prime Minister Eisen to serve as the commander of the Rock Legion. And you also know that Eisen played a key role in this coup. If it weren't for his previous series of military mobilizations that allowed Wales to be deployed calmly, and after Wales entered Ballatan, he would have been the first to express support for Wales, Ballatan would not have been controlled by Wales so soon." Anne said with a wry smile.

"But if Winter was from Wales, would they have to transfer the Rock Legion to the Red Mountains? Isn't it better to just let them be in the capital?" Roger raised this question.

"Who knows? Maybe they are not at ease with the grassroots officers or soldiers of the Rock Legion. After all, the Rock Legion is equivalent to the garrison in the capital. Its loyalty to the royal family and the king is the highest among the major legions." Anne sighed and continued: "I have sent people to contact several officers of the Rock Legion who must support my father. I want to know the current trends of the Rock Legion. I guess the people who will contact in the past two days should come back."

"Okay! After the people who come back will introduce the situation of the Rock Legion, let's discuss how to take action next!" Roger nodded.

After dinner, Roger and Anne were about to go to the camp to discuss the matter, but a young officer in his thirties hurriedly came to report: "Your Highness, the situation is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Anne looked closely and saw that Simon Del, the current commander of the First Division of the Lightning Corps, reorganized the Lightning Corps, and organized the remaining 40,000 people into four divisions. As the first general under his command, Simon became the commander of the First Division.

"The people we sent to contact brought back very bad news. The Rock Legion may no longer be able to instigate the rebellion, and they have come down from the Red Mountains and are probably heading towards us." Simon said with a worried look on his face.

"Then let's go to the big account to discuss!" Annie was also a little nervous at this time.

"Okay! The commander of the legion and deputy commander of the legion are already waiting in the big tent!" Simon immediately walked forward to lead the way.

When he walked into the tent, Roger saw that Del, Dias and the other three division commanders were already in the tent. There was also a middle-aged man wearing a magician robe. He was gray and bearded, about fifty years old, and his eyes were extremely sharp.

"Your Highness Princess, Mr. Roger, let me introduce you to you. This is Fengseka, the leader of the Elemental Magic Group of our Lightning Army." Seeing Anne and Roger coming, Del quickly stood up to greet him.

Fonseca then stepped forward and saluted Anne, but he couldn't even look at Roger, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Roger was really puzzled. He felt that he had not offended Fonseca.

Simon said quietly in his ear: "Brother Roger, the son of the commander of the Fonseca was a captain in the former Second Division. In the Battle of Hetante, he died in the square in front of the city lord's mansion."

Roger then suddenly realized that this guy's son was killed by his own storm of destruction. No wonder he hated him so much.

Thinking of this, Roger whispered to Simon: "But at that time the two countries were fighting, and both sides were in a state of hostility. I was forced to do so."

Simon also whispered: "Your Excellency the Legion Commander has told him about this, but Fonseca is a man who is willing to take the blame. This time we come to Hetante City, he is determined not to come. Now he has been more restrained from taking action against you."

Roger nodded slightly, thinking that he was really unlucky, and he offended the leader of the Elemental Magic Group as soon as he came. He originally wanted to find him to learn how the magician fought in the war. It seemed that he was the only one who observed and learned secretly.

At this time, Adams also walked into the tent. When he saw that Roger and Anne had arrived, he immediately saluted them. Anne quickly waved his hand and signaled that there was no need to be too polite: "Mr. Adams, you are too polite. Now we are not attending a dinner, so there is no need for so many politeness!"

"Haha, Your Highness, you also know that I used to be the captain of Princess Jessica's guards and had been in the palace for a lot of activities, so I often salute and sometimes became accustomed to it." Adams laughed dryly. This time he insisted on coming to Ice with Roger, the main purpose was to monitor Roger and see what the ambitious man in his mind would do in Ice. Of course, the reason he proposed must be to protect Roger. It really moved Roger, Hawking, Clyde and others for a while.

"It's not in the palace, why are we doing so solemnly?" Annie smiled, but her expression immediately became serious. She asked, "What's the details? Is it really impossible to instigate them?"

Del smiled bitterly at this time and said, "The people I sent to contact pretended to be the relatives of the officers I wanted to contact, saying that they were planning to introduce them to the army. As a result, at a mountain pass in the Red Mountains, they encountered soldiers from the Rock Legion guarding them. When they told the soldiers about the situation, the soldiers' faces changed drastically and told them to leave quickly, saying that the officers had been killed and replaced by others. If they did not leave, the people transferred by the Military Law Department and the Flame Legion would definitely be arrested as spies."
