Chapter Eighty-One: A Strange Battle Situation
Although tortured by power outages, I persisted in updating twice a day. Recently preparing for an explosion, everyone recommends support! The precision conference will continue to be held!
When the troops marched to a small town near Xidon, the capital of Paraka Province, the third battalion stopped at the roadside outside the town for rest and adjustment. The cooks also set up pots and prepared lunch.
At this time, a cavalry team rushed out of the small town, raising a trail of smoke and dust, and quickly charged into the resting place of the three troops. Several cooks who were busy making fires by the road, originally covered in soot and grime, were now covered in dust and couldn't help but curse.
"A group of bastards, can't they see?"
Take another look, the water that had just been boiled in the pot was also covered with a layer of dirt. The cooks cursed even louder: "Which unit's bird people are out, not letting us eat is it?"
The several knights who fell behind turned their heads and looked at the few people shouting behind them with disdain, and continued to move forward.
"Damn it! You're riding a female horse with your legs spread apart, have you become a beast yourself?!" Several cooks jumped up and cursed loudly.
Hanno and Charlie, who were comfortably chatting on the ground, drinking a drink they had just bought from the town, heard a curse coming from afar and both got up at the same time.
"Charlie, make a bet, let's try our luck?" Han No said with a smile, looking at the cavalry in the distance.
"A hundred gold coins!" Charlie clenched his fists tightly, making his joints crackle with a series of pops.
"Good."
The two men jumped up at the same time and charged straight towards the cavalrymen.
Hanno rushed to the front of a cavalryman, who hastily pulled the reins, and the warhorse suddenly let out a long neigh, raised its hooves, and stopped. Hanno flew up, grasped the horse's neck with both hands, and violently exerted his strength, throwing the warhorse and the cavalryman on it to the ground.
Charlie was more direct, facing another leading cavalryman, and punched the horse's head with a straight fist, splashing a piece of blood. The warhorse let out a painful whinny and fell to the ground.
Two dusty horsemen were scrambling to their feet as Charlie and Hanno argued.
"Hanuo, you lost! With this punch, everything red and white will come out!"
"Charlie, don't think you've won just because you saw blood. You know or don't know, I twisted that horse's neck off!"
"Which unit are you from? How dare you be so bold as to attack the guard of the commander of the 2nd Division!"
It turned out that the two cavalrymen who had fallen to the ground earlier were actually accompanied by an officer. He glared at the two people in front of him and shouted angrily.
The cavalry also rushed up and surrounded Hans and Charlie in the middle.
"Oh, heavens, only a hundred gold coins, Hannes, you're not going to welch on the deal, are you?" Charlie's angry shout fell on deaf ears as he charged towards Hannes with a bitter face.
"It's too noisy here, I couldn't hear what you were saying!" Han No laughed and turned to face the officer, "This brother, we're just teaching a lesson to two beasts who don't know how to behave, yet they rushed into our resting place. You'd better not speak nonsense!"
The officer's face turned blue and purple, a cavalry team was about to take action, but found that dozens of people had already surrounded them.
"Hanno and Charlie turned around at the same time and shouted: "Brothers, don't mess around, it's all a misunderstanding! You guys, if you really want to fight... remember to go easy on each other, don't forget that we're friendly neighboring troops!"
The crowd rushed up and pulled the cavalrymen off their horses, beating them severely.
"Right, didn't he just say they were the division commander's guards?"
"It seems so! However, we have fulfilled our responsibility and have already advised everyone not to fight!"
"Then pretend you didn't hear it. It's none of his business anyway, what's there to be afraid of?"
As they spoke, the two of them lay down on the side of the road again to rest.
Liuyun and Longyun looked at this scene from afar, both of them couldn't help but laugh.
"Deputy Commander, these two battalion commanders of yours are really talented!" said Liú Yún.
"It's just a bit of brute force, that's how you keep those soldiers under control." Long Yun said with satisfaction.
"If you don't come on stage now, there will be trouble."
"Every time, it's always me who has to clean up after them. I said, you're the captain now, shouldn't you be taking care of this?"
"Does a small matter like this also require the team leader? I'm busy, I've made an appointment with my secretary for a massage." After finishing speaking, Liú Yún went to find Shuǐ Líng ér.
Long Yun then appeared in a timely manner before the cavalrymen, representing the Third Regiment, clearing up the misunderstanding and entrusting them to convey the commander of the Third Regiment's apologies to the commander of the Second Brigade whom he had never met.
Long Yun's attitude made the cavalry understand: if they fought, they would be defeated, and it was useless to intimidate people with the Second Division. When they finally understood that the people in front of them were from the Third Division, Third Regiment, they regretted it so much that their intestines turned green, each leading a horse, silently leaving.

When Huajing heard the news that Liuyun had gone to the front line, she was filled with worry. She had always hoped that Liuyun would become the greatest warrior on the mainland. But when he really went onto the battlefield to realize this dream, she regretted it.
"What was I saying all along?"
Huā jiàng lèi zài fángjiān lǐ zǒu lái zǒu qù, yī shí shǒu zú wú cuò. Dāng chū, tā yě shì shòu le gōng zhǔ de cì jī hòu, cái yǒnggǎn de zhàn chū lái bāng liú yún shuō huà, què méi xiǎng dào zhànzhēng huì lái dé zhème kuài, tā jiù nàme qù le qiánxiàn.
"It won't do, he hasn't made any preparations. What if something happens?" Farewell was originally meant to be forgotten, but farewell can also make memories grow like weeds. Huajing didn't expect that after leaving Liuyun, all her worries and concerns would become more and more real and heavy.
"Rainbow Butterfly, let's set off to the Roman province and inform those swordsmen and magicians to come along as well." Huajian walked out of the room and instructed a fairy girl.
"Yes, miss." The girl responded and left.
"No matter where you go, I'll always be silently supporting you from behind, Yun!" Huā Jiàng's thoughts flew to Liú Yún's side in an instant.

"Generals Hans and Landon should have arrived at their designated positions by now. Send a message to the two generals, telling them to rest in place, strengthen their vigilance, and not provoke the Huoyun Empire's army without my order. Without my command, do not launch an attack!"
Two hundred miles away from Roland's fortress, Brooke ordered the army to camp and rest on the spot, while summoning the heralds to issue orders to the left and right troops.
As a result, the border defense troops of the Huoyun Empire soon saw such a situation: the Asman army, which was approaching with great momentum, suddenly stopped before reaching the imperial border. They trained normally during the day and arranged sentries at night, then went to sleep with their heads down. It seemed that they were not here to fight, but had been cooped up in the interior for too long and now moved their camp to the border to get some fresh air.
This strange phenomenon, on the other hand, plunged the troops on the imperial border into extreme tension, not daring to slack off in the slightest. However, since the Asman Empire's army did not attack, the Fire Cloud Border Troops also did not dare to launch a rash attack before reinforcements arrived.
Soon, the three armies led by Joseph also arrived at their respective defenses. After the army arrived, Joseph also gave a strange order: each road army strengthened its defense, solidified its fortifications, and prepared for battle. Without receiving an order, it was not allowed to launch a proactive attack.
Two countries, over 20 million troops, gathered on the border line of thousands of miles from east to west, but neither side took the initiative to attack. Under the restraint of the commander-in-chief, the border between the two countries was unusually calm, and even occasional accidental discharges that occurred in peacetime did not happen. Such calmness is quite strange, as if an arrow has been put on the string, the string has been tightened, but it is controlled by the archer and will never be shot out.
The three troops led by Liú Yún arrived in their own defensive region, the town of Sepu, two hundred miles outside of Luo Lan Fortress.
