Most of the people in the Southern Army have no deep-seated hatred against the Almohad Empire. They just have different bosses.

At the very least, you can save your life by surrendering. If you make some contribution to the Almohad Empire government, you might be able to keep your wealth.

It seems that surrender is not unacceptable.

Especially after the Battle of Pliska, where even Hardou was defeated and was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma, everyone in the Southern Army felt that their future was bleak.

Some people will not be willing to sink the broken ship Hadou.

Angel sighed inwardly, only then did he feel the huge gap between him and his father.

The man in gray robe said calmly: "As far as I know, some unfamiliar faces often appear in front of several generals in the north recently."

Seeing Angel's questioning expression, the man in gray robe shook his hand and said: "Don't ask me how I know, we always have some special methods."

At this time, Angel also felt that there was something unusual about the generals who did not come back to visit Hadou on the pretext of an urgent military situation.

Normally, even if the Hadu kittens catch a cold, they will rush back to express condolences. Even if they really can't come, they will take the wife route and let their family members come to visit on their behalf.

This time, the two generals only asked someone to send back a message, not even a letter. And their families seemed to have no longer been in Haligad a few months ago.

Angel suddenly realized.

He smacked his palm hard and cursed bitterly: "***, those twenty-five-year-olds, it turns out they have been rebelling for a long time~!"

The man in gray robe sighed and said: "Now, eldest son, don't you understand that now only we... are your strongest allies, and only we have the power to help you.

And we are just a group of Avengers, we have the same goal as you, but there is no conflict of interest. We will neither want your land nor compete with you for the crown."

"Emperor...Crown~!" Angel said na na.

The man in gray robe nodded and said: "Yes, you heard it right, the crown, as long as you obtain it, the Almohad crown will be placed on the head of your eldest son.

No one will be condemned, my dear eldest son, as long as you are the last one, the world will only praise your great achievements.

To do all this, you only need to pay a little bit of cooperation.”

Angel lowered his head and murmured to himself: "

If I don’t do this, all that awaits our Hadou family is death. Since there is a dead end, why not give it a try?”

The man in gray robe looked at Angel with satisfaction and said slowly: "You are right."

Angel clenched his fist and shouted: "If you do it, why should we wait to die? Teacher, you are right, no one will be condemned."

The man in gray robe nodded and said: "The facts will prove that you will be proud of this decision. Now, let us discuss the first step..."

"We need a special place, and we also need some completely trustworthy people..." The man in gray robe grabbed Angel's arm and walked to a hidden place in the backyard.

Kirkforth Province is one of the traditional forces of Hadu. It is an important province on the south bank of the Zamibia River. It is not wealthy compared with Halua Province. It has many mountainous areas and strong folk customs. They often draw swords against each other when they disagree.

It is known as a place where unruly people come from poor mountains and harsh waters.

But it was also the place where the Confederate Army had the best soldiers. Kirkforth's soldiers had always been known for their adeptness in mountain warfare and their bravery.

As a gateway to the capital Middelburg and most of the province of Kirkforth, the Zinderen Pass has a very important position.

In order to guard against the imperial government in the north, Hadou operated here for many years.

The Zinderen Pass has turned into a huge and solid mountain barrier, known as an insurmountable natural danger.

And if you can't cross the Zinderen Pass, you can't directly enter Kirkforth Province. The only way is to take a roundabout way from both sides.

This is why the New Army was so complacent when they captured the Zinderen Pass without paying huge casualties during their first southern expedition.

This is also a sad place for the new army. They were ambushed here and suffered heavy losses. They had no choice but to flee back to the north in a hurry, losing the initiative on the battlefield.

After the war began, the Zinderun Pass was guarded by a whole legion of Southern troops. With these troops alone, even a hundred thousand troops coming from the opposite direction would not be able to knock down the wall of the Zinderun Pass.

A short, fat middle-aged man stood on the tallest tower of the Zinderen Pass, facing north and looking at the mountains and plains at his feet.

He has a dark and rough face, a large beard, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, and is dressed in military uniform. The whole person looks extremely powerful.

He was the number one general under Haddu, Quindus Petius, who commanded the army in Kirkforth Province.

We have a comrade-in-arms and friend relationship with Hadou. We have followed Hadou on his expeditions from north to south since he was a junior officer, and it has been more than thirty years now.

He is also the second-ranking figure in the Southern Army after Haddou. He commands four legions and more than 20,000 Kirkforth soldiers.

It was Quindus who defeated the new army that took the initiative to attack a year ago by luring the enemy in deep.

The reward offered by the Almohad Empire government to him has reached 50,000 gold coins, and they still don't care whether he lives or lives.

At this moment, Pedius was looking into the distance in a daze without saying a word. The subordinates behind him all knew that the boss hated being interrupted when he was thinking.

At that time, a young man who looked like a staff member took long strides, the soles of his feet stomping loudly, crossing several steps with each step, and came panting behind Quindus.

Peterius frowned in displeasure, and his serious expression made the officers around him feel their hearts beating. They all knew that this boss really killed people when he got angry.

The young man lowered his head and whispered in Quindus's ear for a while.

Bidius had a ferocious look on his face and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, general, they have received orders and are preparing to go out." The young man nodded.

Petius slapped the city wall angrily and cursed loudly: "Young-mouthed kid~! How dare he?"

"Sir, what happened?" the officers around asked nervously.

Bidius waved his hand, and the young man turned around and said to everyone: "The eldest son himself took the position of Master Hadou, and ordered the troops to be divided to attack Alpha and other places."

"Ouch~!" The people around were in an uproar. In their opinion, since Hadou fell ill, the entire Southern Army should listen to their boss, the second-largest man in the Southern Army, Peterius, instead of Mao just now

The eldest son of Chang Qi, he has no experience in leading an army to fight. Those achievements are not all flattered by others.

"This... this..." The officers looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Peterius took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Old Abdul has formulated an active defense plan, but that kid Angel actually dispersed his troops and played the piano randomly~!

There are too few successes and too many failures. How do we fight now? Should Kirkforth defend or not?"

"Would you like to go back and persuade the eldest son?" someone suggested.

Peterius shook his head and said angrily: "Is the advice useful? Military orders have been issued. Alas... Amor fell too suddenly."

Hadu has always been the only leader of the Southern Army. If this leader suddenly becomes paralyzed, problems will naturally arise for the entire Southern Army.

When everyone thought that they might have to fight with the peacekeeping forces under Angel's command, they all shook their heads. It was simply impossible.

Biedius said: "I still misjudged him. This kid is really quick when it comes to seizing power."

"Sir, should we listen to the order from Haligard or not?" Someone raised the most important question for everyone. The enemy has already pressed the border with a large army. If there is more internal strife over the issue of command authority, why don't we just stop fighting this battle?

.

Peterius hesitated and asked him to listen to the little boy Angel. Of course Peterius was not willing. The order from Haligard at that time represented the authority of Hardu. If he did not listen, it would be tantamount to rebellion.

Bidius was confused for a moment, suddenly felt discouraged, and felt that the road ahead was dark.

He let out a long sigh, waved his hands feebly, and said, "Let me think about it. You all should go down. By the way, go and invite the businessman from the hotel."
