Earl Marcus, who was transferred to the first squadron to perform tasks, led his troops to the forefront.
"Is this my chance to do something good?"
Thinking of the upcoming opportunity, he hastily ordered his troops to block the border.
He wanted to pinch the arrogant nose of the enemy general.
But unfortunately, no enemies appeared.
None of the 4th Squadron has been attacked so far.
Marcus, who was full of expectations, muttered to himself.
"Tsk, coward!"
Three days later, the counter-revolutionary army came to a clearing.
"Wow, there's farmland over there!"
"Walking all over the east, west, north and south, I saw only yellow hills!"
The knights who saw the largest granary in the St. Arthurian Empire, the Meltlin Plain, rushed up one after another.
There were also many granary districts in the Locke Empire, but none were as fertile and spacious as the Meltling Plain.
The Meitling Plain is uniquely fertile, accounting for about half of the total grain output of the Holy Empire.
The appearance of the Meltling Plain means that the next stop will be Peride.
"If you go a little further, you will see a huge town. Tonight, we will rest there and speed up!
With an order, all the soldiers accelerated their marching pace.
The fourth squadron was at the forefront.
Passing through several hilly areas, Lin Qing looked at Count Marcus solemnly.
"What's the matter, Captain Lev?"
Earl Marcus, who was talking to the staff, glanced at Lin Qing.
Although Marcus failed to take Lin Qing under his command immediately, he still treated him very well.
Therefore, at least for now, no one dared to trouble Lin Qing, so Lin Qing joined the earl immediately.
Lin Qing pointed to a hill.
"It is possible that the enemy is behind, we need to search the place thoroughly and then pass.
As soon as these words came out, the nobles around the earl all looked at Lin Qing with mocking eyes.
"What are you talking about? The scouts have seen it, how many people can hide behind such a small hill? There is no time to waste! We must rush to the village before nightfall, this is an order!"
As the pace of the march has slowed down, orders have been given to speed up the march.
Spending time scouting the hills and slowing down the army could be blamed.
But Lin Qing didn't back down from the argument.
"If the enemy suddenly attacked and rushed down that hill, what would you do?"
"What are you talking about? How dare a mercenary chief speak like that!"
Count Marcus looked flustered when the two quarreled.
Lin Qing and the red wolf mercenaries are the kind of talents he absolutely wants to recruit.
However, the nobles who opposed Lin Qing's opinion had military experience.
"We need a search, officer!"
"No, it can't be like this. If there is no ambush, the commander-in-chief will blame us for wasting time."
Earl Marcus did not interfere, but at the moment his mood was very complicated.
The captain of the 2nd Squadron, who was right behind the 4th Squadron, approached them.
"Marcus, why did you stop suddenly? Are you picking up gold or hitting a bitch?"
Hearing the words of the second squadron leader Mark, Marcus frowned.
Mark is a paladin, currently the paladin coordinator of the Marius faction, and the deadly enemy of Earl Marcus.
Naturally, the relationship was not good. Earl Marcus said with a wrinkled face: "That's not the case. There may be an ambush ahead. I'm discussing it with my subordinates."
"Hmph, you still need to discuss with your subordinates? You are afraid, if you are afraid, let the second squadron take the lead."
After hearing this, Bishop Mark didn't listen to Marcus at all, and directly ordered his troops to catch up with the fourth squadron.
Marcus, who had become a coward, wanted to push forward, but the second squadron had already reached the mountain road before the fourth squadron.
Although half of the two squadrons entered by mountain trails, they were not attacked.
In this case, Marcus was very dissatisfied with Lin Qing.
"Captain Lev! Because of your nonsense, I became a coward. How are you going to take responsibility for this?"
Just when the earl was angry with Lin Qing.
Between the two hills a great fire rose, and the fire did not go out for a moment.
Snapped!
The gunpowder buried in the ground reacted with the fire magic, producing a huge explosion, and a huge mushroom cloud rose slowly.
The huge shock wave turned the nearby titans into scrap iron, and the soldiers were swallowed up by the tsunami-like flames.
"Wow!"
"help me!"
Wrapped in flames, they struggled for their lives. They were covered in flames and rolled crazily on the ground.
However, no one dared to approach them.
The hellish fire could not be extinguished, and the gunpowder that destroyed the core engine and truck of the titan also exploded one after another.
In addition, an ambush by the rebels has been launched.
They dug a hole in the mountain and very carefully Kṣitigarbha waited for the moment in the hole, and now the moment came.
"kill!"
"They dare to trample on our hometown! Don't let any one go!"
Bishop Mark, who led the team, felt that he had been stabbed several times by the swarming rebels.
Earl Marcus and the nobles who were looking at Lin Qing were no longer quiet when they saw this.
The Earl was the first to speak, and he looked at Lin Xue.
"Uh, Captain Lev, I hope you can teach me more in the future."
"Thank you, sir, but shouldn't we save our allies first?"
"Of course, they need help. Let's report to the commander-in-chief first..."
Marcus wanted to see more destruction, and was not ready to join the fray until the last moment.
It wasn't long, but both squadrons were in great danger.
"No! Damn it! Don't scatter 160!"
"Titan, cover the Allies!"
At least, the remaining paladins and officers commanded calmly, and thanks to this, they managed to avoid further damage.
In addition, the rebels quickly retreated after saving the 2nd Squadron from the fire.
In terms of strength, their troops only have twenty giants.
They are not stupid enough to launch an all-out war against an army of 150,000 with a few hundred titans.
Furthermore, the goal is not to eliminate the military.
It was precisely to hit the soldiers' hearts and frustrate their momentum, so after they achieved their goal, they fled without hesitation.
"Good night, fool! We'll play next time!"
"Ugh! Stand there!"
Lin Qing tried to chase the rebels, but the rebels managed to escape by throwing smoke bombs.
Anyway, the fighting is over and the army is investigating who was injured.
"Ten thousand deaths?"
"More than thirty titans were destroyed."
Not many were ambushed, but it was still a loss.
Naturally, Bishop Mark, the captain of the 2nd Squadron, became the target of the operation. His position was beyond the rank of the 4th Squadron Leader, and he ignored the warning of a possible ambush.
Earl Marcus opened his mouth and patted Mark on the shoulder.
"Cut, this is too much. Because of you, a coward, you managed to make the enemy escape."
