A moment later, Reinhardt left the garden behind the palace, and the moment he stepped out of the gate of the garden area, the imperial crown prince gave an order to summon someone to an attendant beside him without any hesitation.

Afterwards, looking at the back of the attendants leaving quickly, Reinhardt, who was standing solemnly, could not restrain a flash of anxiety in his eyes, as if in the eyes of the imperial prince, the current situation had become extremely urgent.

"Your Highness......"

After a while, another attendant beside Reinhardt seemed to realize something was wrong with the expression of his allegiance object, so he subconsciously stepped forward and asked,

"Did you encounter any trouble? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Facing the attendant's question, Reinhardt, who recovered from his contemplation, first let out a deep breath, then shook his head, and gave a wry smile,

"Trouble is indeed encountered, but the object is not me, but the empire."

"Now, there is a ferocious lion walking towards us, but everyone regards her as a cat."

"Only I know the horror of that guy. She has never been a harmless animal, but an ambitious predator. If you are not careful... ..”

"She wants to eat people!"

Chapter 198 194. The Great War Will Begin

A few days later, in Buzeledo Principality.

The torrential rain that seemed to drown the whole world finally stopped not long ago. As the dark clouds covering the sky gradually drifted away, a ray of sunlight fell on the earth, and many creatures who were suppressed by this torrential rain for a long time , finally ushered in a chance to breathe.

At this moment, at the edge of a certain forest, a black rose deer unique to Boozeredo is stopping at a puddle and drinking water with its head down. It looks quite embarrassed, as if it has been soaked in water It's been the same for a long time.

This is indeed the case. Due to the previous heavy rain, floods broke out in many areas of the jungle. Animals are not as organized as humans. Facing the torrential flood, they do not even know how to effectively avoid disasters. Passively subjected to the invasion of nature, survival depends entirely on luck.

This black rose deer was one of the victims of the flood. With a little luck, it barely survived after being washed away by the flood, but the situation it faced at this time was still extremely bad.

First of all, the black rose deer is a herd animal, and the strength of a single individual is weak. Many predators have the name of the black rose deer on their diets. They can only rely on the strength of the group to protect themselves. Unfortunately, the black rose in front of them Rose deer are separated from their own herd, which means that any predator will take it for granted as prey.

Secondly, because of struggling in the flood for too long, the black rose deer was not only exhausted at this time, but also seemed to be sick. If a predator appeared at this time, it would not even have the strength to escape.

Under such circumstances, whether this black rose deer can survive can only depend on whether fate is willing to continue to protect it.

Unfortunately, getting out of the catastrophe of the flood seems to have consumed all the luck of this black rose deer. Fate has lost its interest in it. At this moment, in the thorn bushes not far from the puddle, a coyote It is quietly approaching here.

Different from wolves in other areas, the coyotes living in the Boozeredo area are generally several circles larger than their own kind. Although they are also pack animals, their individual combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. A caravan member once saw it with his own eyes. , Boozeredo's Timberwolves put an adult Grizzly in a one-on-one situation!

There is no doubt that once the black rose deer enters the hunting range of the coyote, it will have no possibility of escape.

As time passed, under the cover of thorns, the coyote was getting closer and closer to the puddle. At this time, it could even clearly see the neck of the black rose deer through the leaves between the bushes .

Facing the prey that was close at hand, this coyote did not rush to attack. Like the black rose deer, it escaped the catastrophe of the flood. It is currently in a very bad physical condition. Not only is it hungry, but it is also sick Not to mention, given its current condition, once this hunting fails, it will probably not have enough physical strength to complete the next hunt, and what will meet it next will be nature's cruelest elimination mechanism.

Therefore, in order to ensure the success of the hunt, even though his eyes were red from hunger and disease, the coyote still maintained a high degree of patience.

Soon, the Timberwolf's patience brought it back. After entering the hunting range, the black rose deer not far away seemed to notice something, raised its head vigilantly and looked around, but because of the Timberwolf's caution, The exhausted black rose deer saw nothing, finally relaxed his vigilance, and continued to drink water with his head down.

"Whoosh-!"

It was too late and then too soon, at the moment when the black rose deer lowered its head, the coyote, who saw the opportunity, finally couldn't bear it anymore, it jumped out of the bushes without hesitation, opened its fangs and bit the black rose deer neck, and threw it to the ground.

Facing the sudden and swift attack of the jungle wolf, the unsuspecting black rose deer had no room to resist at all, and was almost thrown to the ground by the jungle wolf in a daze. By the time it reacted and wanted to struggle, it was too late The neck that was bitten tightly made it no longer possible to escape.

This was a classic and perfect hunt. If there were no accidents, this coyote would have received the gift of nature——to be allowed to continue to survive. However, just when everything was about to settle, a black shadow Suddenly, like lightning, it broke through the air from the depths of the dense jungle!

The next moment, a dog's howling sounded in the jungle, and then fell silent. When I looked at the past again, the jungle wolf that had just been a predator was lying on the ground lifeless. The long black arrow pierced through its head together with the black rose deer under it!

"Good archery!"

After a while, several figures stepped on the damp soil and slowly approached. After seeing the two prey on the ground that killed two birds with one stone, someone praised loudly,

"As expected of your Excellency, even in a complex environment like a dense forest, you can still hit a double hit with one shot. This arrow technique is really rare and unparalleled in the world!"

As the voice fell, several uninvited guests had already approached the prey. After a certain figure at the front glanced at the prey on the ground, he first touched the longbow in his hand, then turned around and gave a low smile. soundtrack,

"Baron Hallett, your praise is too much. It's just good luck to hit a double. I may not be able to do it on weekdays."

"Your Excellency, what you said is wrong, luck is also a manifestation of strength......"

Hearing the humble words of the leader, a certain figure called Baron Hallet continued to compliment without hesitation,

"Without your superb archery skills, even if others have this luck, they would never be able to achieve such a harvest, so after all, it is your superb skills......"

"Hahahahaha~~" Faced with Baron Hallet's praise, the Duke finally couldn't help laughing, but soon, the Duke stopped laughing, and after handing the longbow to the attendant beside him, he Looking at Baron Hallett at the side, he smiled and said,

"Baron Hallett, your mouth is really powerful. It's as if you've been poured several bowls of 'hero soup'. My old man's blood boils."

At this point, looking at Baron Hallett who seemed to want to say something more, the Duke suddenly restrained his smile and waved his hands,

"Okay, okay, let's talk less about flattery~"

"What is my own situation, I am very clear, no matter how glorious I was, I am now old after all, and my ability is not as good as before."

"otherwise................"

Speaking of this, the Duke suddenly paused, and then the corner of his mouth curled up. Under Baron Hallett's blank gaze, he continued to speak with a half-smile,

"Otherwise, why would His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly send you over to 'check the post'? Doesn't this just show that His Highness is worried about me, an old man?"

Hearing this, Baron Hallett's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly explained,

"Your Excellency, don't think so, there must be some misunderstanding......"

"Misunderstanding~?" Before Baron Hallett finished speaking, the Duke sneered ironically, and then took out a letter from the portable bag on his waist.

After waving the letter in the air for a while, the Duke pointed to the open letter, with a smile that could not be seen on his face,

"Then tell me, what is a misunderstanding?"

"His Highness has already made it very clear in this letter. I am not a fool, old man, how could I not understand?"

"Your Excellency, you really misunderstood. Your Highness did not mean that."

Facing the Duke's plain but indifferent remarks, Baron Hallett's expression became even more anxious. He was eager to explain the matter clearly, but the Duke refused to give him this chance at all.

"Hehe, that's not what it means? But old man, I don't see that His Highness has other meanings?"

As he spoke, the Duke put on an excited posture, and pointed to a certain line of text on the letter with his finger,

"Come and see here, Baron Hallett, you translated for me. What is meant by 'Although Katerina is a woman and young, she is resolute and intelligent by nature. She has many wonderful strategies on the battlefield. Don't let your guard down, or you will be hurt by him'?"

"There is also this sentence, 'The legion deployed by the Allies in this campaign is a new type of rifle legion with strong combat capabilities, and Katerina is the commander. Until the details of her are found out, it is a good tactical strategy to stick to the town'."

"Hehe, is Your Highness teaching me how to fight?"

At this moment, when the Duke's words fell, Baron Hallett's face suddenly turned pale. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the thunder-like power released by the Duke's words and deeds made him All his words were blocked in his throat.

After a while, seeing Baron Hallett's reaction, the Duke raised his eyebrows suddenly, restrained his momentum, and did not continue to push, but at the next moment, a letter that had been folded indiscriminately was suddenly thrown heavily into Halley. Baron Te's arms.

"Go back and say hello to His Highness for me, and then send a message for me..."

Glancing at Baron Hallet, who was scrambling to catch the letter, the Duke turned back coldly, raised his head high, and walked out of the forest like a mighty beast. At the same time, there was a cold voice Slowly ringing in Baron Hallet's ear,

"I, Rockman Gorton, joined the army at the age of 15, and took over the Gorton Knights at the age of 27. I have led the army to fight in the battlefield for more than [-] years, and I have never been defeated. I don't need others to teach me how to fight!"

"That's right, I am indeed getting old. The leadership of this world will eventually be taken over by an outstanding young man like Your Highness...but definitely not now!"

.................................................. .........

At the same time, Katerina, who just took over the position of commander in chief of the coalition forces in the border city of the Kingdom of Norci, is staying in her tent, staring solemnly at a document in front of her. There seems to be something recorded in the document The important thing, the girl kept watching and did not move for a long time.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and a figure rushed in quickly.

Hearing the movement in her ears, Katerina, who had been staring at the file, raised her head and took a look. After realizing that it was Celia, the girl lowered her head again and locked her eyes on the file. At the same time, her tone seemed An indifferent voice of inquiry sounded in the tent,

"what's up?"

"Report to Your Majesty..."

Facing Katerina's question, Celia quickly approached, first saluted respectfully, and then responded in a deep voice,

"Just now the Kingdom of Boerrel sent an envoy to deliver a message, saying that some accidents occurred in the Kingdom of Artim, and the reinforcements over there could not arrive on time. We may have to wait for a while."

"Hu~~"

After listening to Celia's report, Katerina first breathed out a deep breath, and then the corner of her mouth suddenly evoked a hint of sarcasm, and her expression revealed a strong sense of sarcasm.

"Oh, these guys are really interesting. The enemy has already hit the door, and they are not in a hurry at all. Today this one is out of the chain, and tomorrow there is something wrong."

"It's no wonder that more than a dozen kingdoms united together and fought against the empire for nearly a hundred years. Not only did they have no results, but they were forced to a dead end."

"With this kind of executive power, even if a dog is placed in their position, I am afraid that the efficiency is better than them!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful!" Facing Katerina's sarcasm, Celia looked around subconsciously. After confirming that no one was paying attention, the female knight immediately advised in a deep voice,

"This is not our territory, beware of peeping."

"Let them see, let them listen, I'm still afraid!" Regarding Celia's admonition, Katerina sneered unceremoniously,

"Even if those guys are standing in front of me now, I still dare to hit them in the face!"

Seeing her lord wantonly venting her dissatisfaction, Seria, as a close minister, should have continued to persuade, but after she opened her mouth, the female knight finally chose to remain silent.

It has nothing to do with loyalty. On the one hand, Celia himself agrees with Katerina's statement. When she has a position in her heart, she naturally doesn't know how to persuade her. On the other hand, the female knight believes in Katerina. She is firm. I think that girls will never blame others in the face of difficulties, and even without her persuasion, they will definitely be able to get out of negative emotions and make correct judgments.

In fact, Katerina did not live up to Celia's trust. The emotional vent only lasted for a very short period of time, and the girl quickly recovered her composure.

"Seria, I trouble you to go to Earl Wiener's place again and tell him that my side is ready and I will lead the troops to Boozeredo tomorrow."

At this moment, as Katerina's voice fell, Celia seemed to hear something incredible, her eyes widened suddenly, and then she hurriedly asked,

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"Right now, about half of our troops have arrived, and the elite troops from the Kingdom of Norchi and the Kingdom of Artim have not yet arrived. Except for the 2000 people from the Kingdom of Borrel, the troops of the other kingdoms are simply making up the numbers. "

"Going to Boozeredo in this state is simply too risky."

"It's too late!" Facing Celia's admonition, Katerina waved her hand irritably, and then said with a wry smile,

"If conditions permit, I also want to wait until everything is ready before setting off, but judging from the current situation, I guess even if the empire is already approaching the city, this legion will never be able to complete the assembly."

"Moreover, even if the assembly can be completed, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness."

"As you have seen in the past few days, the composition of the soldiers in this legion is extremely complicated, and each faction has its own calculations. Now the people have not gathered together yet, and the people below are already fighting in secret. When the assembly is complete , Putting the armies of multiple countries together will only make things worse."

"I've been thinking about it for a long time. Instead of continuing to wait, it's better to start now."

"Currently, the imperial army is being held back by refugees from the Principality of Buzeledo. The path in the Yabuprofen Mountains is simply unable to transport supplies on a large scale. Before that road is widened, the imperial army cannot take the initiative to carry out large-scale operations. offensive."
