Chapter 777: People who break the rules

A few kilometers away from the town of Megalija, a red-haired young man narrowed his eyes and looked at the military flag fluttering in the distance. The other side had indeed taken over the town first, and they were still too late.

"Sir, what should we do next?" the officer stepped forward and asked.

"It has come to this point. We have no choice but to abandon this town."

"Pass the order down and slow down the march."

"Yes, my lord."

As the order was given, the marching speed suddenly dropped to the speed of an old lady taking a walk.

Outside the town of Megaliga, the young officer looked at the troops slowing down their march in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to sit down and rest.

After a while, the army of the Woodland Freedom Alliance arrived in the town.

"Sir, welcome to the town of Megaliga." The young officer walked forward, bowed and saluted, greeting politely.

"You are very fast, so fast that it surprises me." The red-haired young man returned the greeting with noble etiquette and responded in the common language with a smile.

"We dare not disobey the orders from above."

The young officer's kind smile formed a sharp contrast with the blood on his face, leaving a deep impression on the red-haired young man.

The two had a friendly exchange and then reached an agreement.

The town of Megaliga is guarded by the 2nd Battalion of the 9th Battalion of the Black Rock Army, and three kilometers east of Megaliga Town is used as the temporary base of the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Army of the 13th Corps of the Woodland Freedom Alliance.

The two sides set the boundary 300 meters outside the eastern entrance and exit of Megaliga Town as the boundary, refrained from aggression and waited for the negotiations from above.

The border between Haina and Billion regions is over 300 kilometers long, with no less than 30 towns located there. There have been both peaceful contacts and conflicts with swords.

The 15th Army moved its headquarters to Sriveri, an important town in the eastern part of the Haina Region, to facilitate the control of the northeastern region of the Haina Region and the real-time dispatch of troops.

In the Lord's Mansion of Srivili City, a low-rank silver knight walked through the gate and entered the hall where the meeting was being held. He knelt on one knee and reported loudly: "My Lord, the Third Battalion of the Alan Army in Belle Town suffered heavy losses. The battalion commander Calendin was killed in the battle, the chaplain accompanying the army was seriously injured, more than half of the officers were killed, and only one in ten soldiers survived."

Weilin asked, "Why is the loss so severe?"

Many generals participating in the meeting looked at the low-level silver knight in unison, wanting to know the reason.

"Reporting to the lord, according to the surviving officers of the Third Battalion of the Alan Army, the army of the Woodland Free Alliance attacked Belle Town in the middle of the night. The leader was very powerful and the army was large in number. The Third Battalion of the Alan Army was defeated and had to retreat in a hurry." The low-level silver knight replied respectfully.

"Does Belle Town have our military flag?"

"Have."

"Okay, you go down first."

"Yes."

When the low-rank silver knights left the hall, everyone looked at Weilin who was sitting in the upper seat, waiting for his orders.

Looking around, Weilin observed the expressions of the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Since it was the Woodland Freedom Alliance that took action first, then don't blame our Fifteenth Army."

"Pass the order down, order the Mines Army and the Haina Army to assemble, led by General Devonshire, and take back Belle Town for me."

"Bring that daring fellow to me. I want to see where he gets the courage to do such a thing."

"Yes."

Everyone stood up and answered loudly.

In less than a moment, Weilin and Kyle were the only ones left in the hall.

"My lord, do you need to send someone to contact the Duke of Moravia?" Kyle asked.

"Let Miller deliver the letter."

Weilin stood up and continued, "We won't be able to start a local war this time, but I must destroy the army of the Harvest Church in Belle Town, and I won't leave any of them alive, otherwise I won't be able to lead this army."

"You keep an eye on Belle Town. If the Harvest Church sends more troops, we will also send more troops. But after we take back Belle Town, if they don't take action, we must not take action first, otherwise it will be difficult to get compensation."

"Lord, I understand."

……

Late at night in Baili Town, an aloof young man and his personal guards were inspecting the defense.

Five days ago, he led his army to seize Baili Town and killed more than two thousand natives.

"Is there anything going on around here?"

Upon hearing this, the officer guarding the eastern section of Baili Town bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Sir, everything is fine. No trace of the defeated army has been found."

"Cheer up, we can attack Baili Town at night, and so can they. As long as the reinforcements arrive, we will be the heroes." The arrogant young man patted the officer on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Yes, General."

The officer answered loudly with excitement on his face.

After inspecting the eastern section, the aloof young man led his men into the town.

"Master Gesor, why don't you temporarily evacuate Belle Town to prevent those people from resorting to any means to save face." The middle-aged knight made up his mind and gave advice.

Gesor stopped, turned around, stared at the middle-aged knight with sharp eyes, and sneered: "Uncle Rex, don't worry, it's just killing some natives. Even if they manage to take back Belle Town, as long as we reveal our identities, are you afraid that they will not treat us politely?"

"Master, on the battlefield, some people don't follow the rules. This time we broke the rules first, which gave the other side an excuse."

The middle-aged knight gave earnest advice, hoping that the dandy young master would listen to him.

"Okay, I am the commander of this army. If you let me hear this again, you will get out of here."

After saying this, Gesor walked towards the castle of the former Baron of Belle Town without looking back.

Looking at the back of his young master, the middle-aged knight shook his head helplessly, feeling more and more uneasy.

"Ugh--"

"There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world!"

If someone makes a move and the Life Church holds on to this matter, the life of this young master will definitely be in danger, and even the Earl will be implicated, not to mention the Earl's other children who have already grown up.

After all, this is not the Apfeng Kingdom, and the forces it faces are not small forces.

"I'll persuade you again tomorrow. If you still don't listen, then leave here early. At worst, you can become a mercenary, which is better than waiting to die here."

After making up his mind, the middle-aged knight prepared to fulfill his duty as a guard once again.

……

Two days later, Devonshire led tens of thousands of troops and approached Baili Town.

"General, this is information sent by an assassin." A low-level silver knight entered the tent, handed a letter to Devonshire, and looked it up.

Taking the letter from the knight, Devonshire quickly flipped through it and soon grasped the relevant situation of Baili Town.

He knew very well that the lord had an assassination force at his disposal.

After putting away the letter, Devonshire gave an order: "Send a message to General Iliff to have the Mines Army start the attack. When the sun sets, I want to see the culprit who robbed Baili Town."

"Yes." The knight answered loudly, then stood up and left.
