Chapter 2354

The new strategic plan gave Toman some confidence, and from his point of view, it was a perfect plan.

Tomman felt that the new emperor should have a strategic think tank by his side, or that the new emperor himself had this ability.

If it was just an ordinary war, at this moment he felt that his side had a great chance of winning. It's just that I don't know why I always feel a shadow shrouded in my heart.

Obviously, this war is not an ordinary war, and they did not expect that the impact of those three policies would come so quickly.

Just as the First and Second Legions here were preparing to take the initiative to attack, Joel, a farmer from Rothschild Village, also came to the northern border at this time.

At this time, after inquiring all the way, he has also confirmed the news of the rebellion of the First and Second Legion in the north, and probably knows the current situation.

Sure enough, there is going to be a war, and Joel is very anxious now. He doesn't know when and whether Linton's army will attack, but once a fight starts, the north will probably become a battlefield. He still knows how dangerous it is.

Thinking of this, Joel traveled day and night, walking as fast as he could, and wanted to bring his good brother back before the war started. Otherwise, even if he brought the news, when the time came to really fight, it would be up to them whether they could leave successfully or not. It's hard to say.

But Joel is not acting alone now, in fact, he met many people with the same purpose as him along the way. Most of them came here to deliver letters like him.

From their mouths, Joel also knew what happened in other villages. Basically the same as what he encountered, that is, the family members of the First Legion and the Second Legion were taken away, and now they are all waiting to be killed, and they have been given a month. Why don’t you hurry up and find someone to send the news? .

Now the news sending team has gathered more than 70 people, and this is of course just one of them. In this team, like Joel, some were sent from the village, and some people couldn't come at all, so the people who asked them to go would help carry the letters. There are even mercenaries.

Yes, as long as the mercenaries are given money, they will usually accept any mission. Of course they also accepted the task of delivering the letter, and then someone paid them to send the letter to the north. Although they knew the danger, but for the money, they didn't shudder.

Joel's current team has more than twenty mercenaries. These mercenaries are not from the same group, several of them have received the task of delivering letters. Everyone gathered together spontaneously. After all, the purpose is the same, and it can be regarded as a care.

This team has more or less combat effectiveness. In fact, it encountered some troops that looked like bandits on the road, but they didn't fight. It is estimated that these bandits feel that the idea is difficult, and they probably feel that there is nothing to make money. This group of farmers, who are mostly farmers, seems to be desperately poor, so they might as well grab the caravan, right?

In this way, everyone took care of each other and came to the north smoothly all the way. But what to do next, they don't know.

The people they are looking for are all from the army. Does this go directly to the army camp to deliver the letter? They don't even know where the army is now. And they also know that the purpose of their coming is to bring their people back. The officers of the army probably will not agree, will they be arrested.

Fortunately, the first problem was solved immediately, because they soon encountered many people who went in the opposite direction to them.

Similarly, the opponent's small team looked like they were dressed as peasants. When they first met, both sides were very afraid of each other. But after asking, I found out that everyone is just an ordinary farmer, and the team on the opposite side is a farmer from the north here, and it's from the same village.

There is going to be a war in the north, so of course they are also afraid. Originally, they planned to hide and forget it as before, depending on their luck, but whoever said that now the Queen of the Imperial Capital in the south issued a new decree, saying that people from their side went to the south to open up wasteland, and the land opened would be Their own is exempted from tax for two years, and the empire also provides grain.

With such good conditions, they are a little moved. Although they are not very willing to leave their homes, but they are afraid of death when there is going to be a war.

So there are heartbeats, and there are also decisions to stay. As for the heartbeat, it is usually discussed by the whole village. Everyone is just a farmer with little experience, most of them just follow the trend, if you go, I will go too. The leaders of several villages talked to each other, made a clapboard and set off.

There are quite a few small troops like this, and Joel and his team went retrograde all the way, and asked all the way.

Not to mention the environment of the main world, most of the news is spread by word of mouth, and everyone is used to this method. Ask all the way and really gain something.

Some people said that they saw the legion there before, so they walked in the direction, asked again, and walked again. Just like this, they searched and walked for two days in a row, until...they were surrounded by an army.

Just looking at the opponent's uniform armor, one can tell that they are surrounded by a regular army. The opponent is also a team of nearly fifty people. Although the number is not as large as their group of messengers, the combat effectiveness is not at the same level at all.

Along the way, everyone has established a preliminary friendship, and now the group of mercenaries took the initiative to form a circle on the outside, enclosing most of the farmers inside. But facing the regular army troops armed to the teeth in front of them, these mercenaries also knew that it was impossible to fight, and there was a high probability that they would be finished.

The army on the opposite side is obviously not going to let them go. They were originally here to take care of these peasants who fled the village, but they did not expect to encounter this retrograde army, which was still armed. I don't know what the other side is doing, but in this situation, it is obviously better to catch it.

Just when the two sides seemed to be fighting, Joel in the team suddenly noticed a soldier in the opposite team.

He froze for a while, then suddenly pushed away the mercenary in front, rushed out of the defensive circle and shouted to the opposite side: "Gruto! Is that you, Gruto! I'm Joel, Joel!"

"Joel?" The soldier on the opposite side was indeed Gruto. He didn't notice it at first, but when he saw Joel rushing out, he saw it clearly. Although he didn't go back after serving in the army for a year, he naturally knew Joel when he was young.

The sudden situation made the atmosphere on both sides slightly relaxed, and everyone noticed Gruto and Joel.

"Gruto! It's good to see you! I'm here to take you back! Your mother, Jane, and Selar have all been arrested! Come back with me, or they will be executed!" Taking advantage of the quietness around him, Joel hurriedly shouted.
