Chapter 148 Crossing Borders

Albert seemed to think it was important for him to see and consider the reality. After finishing the brief report, Ye Kai thought about protecting Albert's dignity and felt that he had to act quickly.

Ye Kai returned to the refugee shelter and got off Purple, giving his place to Bethan and Mabel. Although they showed some hesitation, he persuaded them to go up in order to move smoothly.

"Holtzlein has already made the decision to go on the expedition. The force will be 30,000. The commander is Lord Klein."

“What!? Isn’t Klein the crown prince…” Tulio was not only surprised by the expedition itself and its scale, but was also interested in the commander’s name.

"Yes, this time it was the Crown Prince's expedition. His Majesty also made a bold decision."

"Oh no! Phrygia may not send so many troops."

“Don’t worry about the balance. This is His Majesty’s decision, and he must have his reasons.”

“So, everything is entrusted to Lord Klein?” Cham seemed to be able to read Albert’s thoughts.

"It seems so. We were told to discuss and decide on that issue."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! What is King Holzlein thinking? Is he letting you decide at will?"

"That person is too doting on this person. Maybe he is considering Holzlein's contribution to us and will continue to support us in the future? Although it is a bit lawless, maybe there is such a consideration."

"Really? Would a king let this man boss him around?"

“Your words are really hurtful.”

Hearing such conversations, some people began to feel uneasy.

"Um... I feel like there are a lot of ominous words...?"

"If you care, you lose,"

Chaim spoke mercilessly, and Mabel used her eyes to signal "keep it secret" to Ye Kai. It was awkward to stand in this situation. He began to feel at a loss, but it was difficult to refuse the warm smiles of these people.

The invading army of the Treba Empire, 25,000 people, marched solemnly. When a large group appeared, the monsters were reluctant to approach, so it can be said that there were almost no obstacles.

On the contrary, the problem was internal. The conscripted peasant soldiers who had just finished the busy harvest season were trained and marching. Due to overwork, many of them fell down.

The logistics troops had many horse-drawn carriages, and they temporarily loaded the fallen people into them, but even so, it was too late.

The military supplies themselves were not enough, and complaints were constant because the food distributed was too little. Even if they wanted to resupply in the villages along the way, they were already in a state of being squeezed dry. If they were given even a grain of wheat, they might die of starvation. Moreover, if they did so, the locals would definitely provoke a rebellion by armed peasants.

General Conkret, the commander of the invasion army, was faced with a headache, but if he took such an action, his head would fly away. Not metaphorically, but literally. He could easily imagine himself being glared at by Emperor Rufan.

Even so, once you cross the border, there is the rich land of Phrygia. If you take it, your glory will be guaranteed. The territory will increase, and a luxurious life will become possible. Now you can only believe in the bright future and move forward.

The reports from the regularly dispatched scouts were just normal words. The scouts should have reached the border, but there was no movement of the enemy's border guards, which felt a bit strange.

On the contrary, reports from enemy reconnaissance forces came in sporadically, but no enemy interception forces were seen waiting on the border.

Indeed, once an enemy scout is spotted, an attack order will be issued. This is to prevent the enemy from understanding the size of the team. Therefore, although they have detected some enemy movements, they should not have discovered the existence of the invading army.

Normally, it is routine to mass troops at the border for situational awareness, but this is not seen now, which is disturbing.

The Phrygian Border Guard is an elite force. It is unlikely that they will run away due to such pressure. There are too many uncertainties involved in the recent battles of the Treba Army.

The planning phase of the Holzlein invasion nine years ago looked like it would be anything but a success.

Concrete had the idea of ​​"These guys are doing great" for Generals Rendel and Barot, but the result was a disastrous defeat.

The 20,000-man army attacked and was even ready to open the gate, but was easily repelled. The two generals' heads displayed on the city gate showed an expression of reluctance, which is unforgettable.

Looking back, it was also a baffling failure. The information obtained from the returning soldiers was wrong from the beginning of the plan. The reason is still unclear.

However, some soldiers shouted insanely, "The Silver Claw Demon is coming..." and then went crazy. Only rumors of this monster were widely circulated in the army.

In the poems of the bards, the story of this strange man was taboo in the royal palace of Treba. Although the spread of rumors could not be controlled, they only became more and more independent.

The sudden ease with which the invading army crossed the border made people feel uneasy. Although the situation was strange, it was free to rob the villages from here. The only satisfaction was that the supplies were sufficient. However, this estimate could easily fall apart.

3 Lutz (3.6 km) away, he saw the enemy troops arranged neatly and outnumbering his own army. General Conkret just let out a word.

“What a fool…”

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

The food in the "warehouse" strangely disappeared. Ye Kai thought this was his first experience. Even the attacking monsters ate with relish, but the appetite of 350 refugees would not be satisfied with this.

“It’s kind of interesting, in a way.”

"This is no joke."

Ye Kai laughed loudly, and Bessen blamed him unhappily. After all, it was his "warehouse" and military force that supported everyone, so it was not appropriate to blame him.

“How can we repay you?”

“The kids don’t have to worry about that. It’s just my ego.”

It is true that he did not save everyone. People who were forcibly conscripted may be forced to do hard labor in various places. When Ye Kai mentioned this, Besen felt his helpless expression, and all this touched his heart.

(How big is the world inside this person's head?)

He could think in all directions. He wondered if he could become such an adult.

While crossing the wilderness to beware of pursuers, the group had returned to the main road near the Holzlein border. If they broke in without reason, the border guards would naturally not let them go. On the contrary, there were also guards on the Treba side, but they had been defeated by the four people.

They passed the checkpoint easily. Waiting in front was the Holzlein Border Guard. Ye Kai came out and started talking to them.

"Excuse me, where is the commander? I am such a person."

The relief he pulled from his bosom brought about a dramatic change in the guard.
