Chapter 67: The cause of the war

　　Tronst continent.
　　 Clovey's army has been marching for five days. After the magician applied the speed-increasing magic state, ordinary soldiers also ran out about three times the original speed. In these five days, they traveled a distance of more than 800 kilometers and entered the southern region.
　　 As for the magician phalanx, three-quarters of the manpower was separated and rushed to the border between Clovis and Ponga.
　　Bill Eukins and Annie are in the vanguard of the wizard.
　　 At this moment, they camped more than 20 kilometers away from the border to take a rest and reorganize. Of course, it is a rest and rectification, but in fact, for most magicians who have flying mounts or flying tools to travel, it is basically unnecessary. They are stationed here for two main purposes. One is to wait for the large troops to arrive, and the other is to wait for the opportunity to inquire about Ponga's situation.
　　According to the marching speed of the infantry, it will take about ten days to get here. After Bill gave instructions to rest and rehabilitate, he dispatched a small team of magicians of about five people to investigate the situation in Ponga. He himself took Annie and a dozen other high-ranking magicians on board. peak.
　　Bill led the way. In addition, two old magicians who were about 50 or 60 years old and had gray hair were the deputy commanders of the magician phalanx, following Bill one by one. Annie walked behind the old magician, keeping a distance from her father. Behind her, there are some other famous magicians or big figures from the magic family. They looked at Annie and couldn't help but frown slightly. It was true that Annie looked too young, and her clothes were too open. Such a young woman squeezed in front of them, which made their faces a little unsightly.
　　 One of the black-bearded and black-robed sorcerers with a solemn face, with a low voice, secretly asked the other person next to him: "Do you know her?"
　　 The magician next to him was short and chubby. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have never seen it before."
　　 "Which family has come out of a wild girl who has practiced? You don't know the rules so much..."
　　……
　　 A group of a dozen people climbed to the top of the mountain.
　　 Bill looked into the distance, and only 20 kilometers away, there was a big meandering river. This big river is the dividing line of the two empires of Clovis and Ponga, named the Sisti River.
"Earl Eugenes." A deputy command old magician said, "I heard that a great magician set up a huge induction magic circle near the Sister River in the Ponga Empire more than a hundred years ago. Our infantry and cavalry, as long as they cross the river and set foot on the territory of Ponga, they will be immediately sensed. I wonder if there is such a thing?"
Bill's complexion was slightly dark, and he held his chin with his hands. About half a minute later, he said: "I have heard of this, but no one has ever been able to know the truth or not. Therefore, we must be more careful here Be cautious. There are still ten days before the large army arrives. During this time, I hope that this matter should be understood no matter what. I sent a five-person wizard team before, and they all rode With fast projectiles, and they are good at concealing their bodies, they should be the most suitable for exploring the reality."
　　 "The number is small, but it's safe." The other deputy command old magician nodded.
　　 "So, we need to wait for them to come back. Hope, it can bring good news." Bill said.
　　 "Earl Eugenes, are we going to cross the river from there when the large forces arrive?" The black-bearded and black-robed wizard who was solemnly faced before stepped forward and asked, pointing to a bend in the river in the distance.
"There is the first choice." Bill said, "The water flow is the slowest and the river is the shallowest. The troops can cross the river directly. However, because of this, they may encounter strong resistance. Of course, as for the deployment of large troops, everything is up to Lyle. The commander has the final say."
　　 "However, Lyle is always the commander of the army." The black-robed magician continued, "It's not that I don't trust him. This time we should be considered the main combat force? Shouldn't it be them that cooperate with us?"
　　 The few people behind also all agreed and agreed.
"The battle between the two countries and the siege of the city must be dominated by ordinary troops. There is no doubt that we are here this time only to break through the possible magic circle and take action against the magicians of the Ponga Empire. And, Lyle The commander is talented and rough, using soldiers like gods. He also has experience working with magicians. Don't worry about this." Bill turned around and said to everyone.
　　Bill knew that at this moment, the entire army must have the same voice. Otherwise, there will be unpredictable changes!
　　 Just when everyone was talking about it, there was a young man next to him but he didn't participate in the discussion. In other words, he was not interested in the topics that everyone was talking about. All his attention fell on Annie, who was standing quietly on the side.
　　 was born in a large family of magicians, he was also raised with a golden key, and he became a knight as an adult. He has met many high-class ladies, but he has never seen a stunner as beautiful as Annie! For a while, his heart was about to move.
"Cough cough..." The son cleared his throat, took a few steps in the direction of Annie, and said politely, "Hello, beautiful lady. Introduce myself, I am from the Draper family Heir, Gail Dillap. Dare to ask Miss's name?"
　　 I have to say that this Gail Dilap, who looks like a man, plus his identity as the heir of the Dilap family, can touch the hearts of many girls. In the past, Gail also used this method to successfully strike up many girls, and most of them were put in bed by him.
　　 "Your name is Gail?" Annie turned her head and glanced at him.
　　 "Exactly!"
　　 "The name is terrible." Annie attacked mercilessly, "Do you want to strike up a conversation with me?"
"Uh..." Gail did not expect to receive such a reply at all, his face was a little flushed for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, but fortunately his reaction was still astute, and his mind turned after a while. After turning around, he coughed twice, and still politely replied, "Of course, I think there is no man who will not be tempted by such a bright and charming beauty like you. Of course I am no exception!"
　　 "Oh?" Annie raised her eyebrows, but she was a little surprised by Gale's response, and then smiled boldly, "Well, as long as you can answer one of my questions. I promise to date you!"
　　Gail became excited when he heard this, thinking that there is still such a good thing? It seems that my Master Gail's charm is extraordinary!
　　 "Please tell me!"
　　 Annie cast her gaze to the big river in the distance~EbookFREE.me~ There was a rare trace of sadness in her eyes.
　　 "My question is, why are we fighting this war?" Annie said.
　　 "Oh, it's simple." Gale heard it and quickly said, "I know the reason for this war. Look!"
As he said, Gail pointed to a mountain and plain on the other side of the river, and then continued: "As early as a hundred years ago, our Clovis dynasty had a vast territory. At that time, the border between Clovis and Ponga should be On the other side of the river! But later, the Ponga Empire unreasonably launched an aggression, and finally cut off a large part of our land, resulting in the current border with this river. The Clovis dynasty endured for many years and arrived Now, the time is finally ripe. Why should we fight this war? Just to retake our country!"
"Hehe, isn't it?..." Annie smiled a few times, then turned to look at Gail, her smiled face suddenly became gloomy, and her whole body began to feel black. "It's all Nonsense! War is a sin! All wars are wrong."
Gail was taken aback by Annie's changes. He only felt a terrible chill hit his face. He couldn't help but shivered, stammering and arguing: "But we are the righteous side! Our war is. A just war."
"No war is just." Annie sneered. "Everything is a trick of the rulers. For ordinary people, war will only be a disaster! Sorry, you have not been able to answer my questions. Show up in front of me again, otherwise, I will see you once and hit you once."
