    The Longyin City rebel camp was on a hillside, with about a thousand people in size, which was not too small.  The tents of the tourists were arranged in an orderly manner. The largest one was covered with black cloth, while the others were covered with red cloth.  Groups of soldiers were walking between tents with weapons in hand. Some were sitting on the ground talking, while others were practicing fighting in large open spaces.

    "Actually, I would like to ask, why do you want to rebel against the Serratil Empire?" Jestang asked.

    "It's a simple reason." A soldier tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand. "They are trying to use our blood and sweat to build a luxurious life for the emperor and the people of Serratil. We will never agree." He said  His eyes were firm, "The fearless Nuan Dong Territory, the child of the jungle and the sea, will not lose to Celatil soaked in wine and honey will not lose to that bastard emperor, you heard it, just because  Without saluting, he ordered his riders to massacre hundreds of our people. Hey, he's just a soft baby who doesn't even have a full beard. Why can he kill his so-called 'subjects' wantonly?"

    "Forty-five percent tax, tens of thousands of people exhausted from the project, humiliating our great Dragon Roar Lord Enough is enough!" Another soldier said cursingly, "Sooner or later, we will fight into Sera Emperor  In your heartland, kick the little emperor¡¯s head off the throne.¡±

    Jessdown understood that a repressive regime was met with a powerful counterattack.

    "Where do you want to take us?" Lear asked, "I hope it's not the gallows or something like that, oh, just kidding."

    "Don't worry when you see our commander, Beliver. He will properly arrange your tasks or the way to die."

    Fox Yi didn't like this obvious intimidation. She saw the tall red flagpole reflecting a blood-like light in the sun, and two soldiers working together to disembowel a poor sheep.  A group of people gathered around and talked wildly about the killed Celadiil.  So she showed a look of fear, walked to Lear and leaned against him.

    ¡°What kind of person is ¡®Belivre¡¯?¡± Bert asked.

    "The Celadiil people call him the 'Sword of the Warm East Territory'. You know, we don't have the number of people to know how many pitiful Celadiil bastards he has killed." The soldier stretched out his hand and gestured with a sharp weapon.  .  "It's awesome."

    Bert¡¯s crude imagination constructed a figure over two meters tall, holding a giant weapon, and with a bald head.  There are red tattoos on his body, he is unruly, wearing a full set of heavy armor, and he has the image of a warrior with a loud voice.  When he saw Bellifer.  He found that he had thought wrongly.

    The reason why he recognized the other party as the leader of this army at a glance.  It was because the blond middle-aged man was riding an armored war horse and loudly lecturing others.  Bellifer was not as tall as Bert had imagined, and was even a little shorter than Bert. He wore a set of ordinary steel armor, held a long sword in his hand, and carried a spear on his back. His face was thin and exuded a sense of majesty.

    "Stranger." A cold voice came from his mouth, "It seems that we have a candidate for our plan."

    "Belliful." The leading soldier bowed slightly.  Then he stepped away and stood upright.

    "Belivre." The others bowed in unison.  Stand next to the lead soldier.

    "Tell me about your names." Bellifer's eyes swept over them, "Three men, three women, interesting. I think in this day of sudden war, your honeymoon will not be too interesting.  .¡±

    "I'm Lear, this is Jesdan, and that's Bert." Lear pointed, "I'm an ordinary traveler, it's an honor to meet you."

    Bellifer pulled out a javelin from the weapons rack next to him. Just when Leal and the others were confused, Bellifer took action without hesitation.  The sharp javelin flew straight towards Burt. Relying on his intuition and combat experience, as well as the fact that Belliver's attack was not really intended to kill people, Burt grabbed the javelin and threw it back as if it were a shot.  .

    When Bert remembered that this was not a battle with a frost monster that could throw ice spears in the Lielan Forest, it was already too late.  The javelin grazed Bellifer and cut through his cloak. The sound of the cloth being torn was quite noticeable.

    "Very good." Beliver clapped his hands, "'Ordinary Traveler'."

    Bert shrugged, silently bearing the depressed looks from others.  He cleared his throat: "Okay, sir, saying 'goodbye' or 'rope' are both good options. However, the latter is likely to cause unpleasantness."

    "It's not 'goodbye', and I don't want to kill you." Bellevere smiled softly, "There is a shoal one kilometer away. In the past few months, whenever night falls and the water is slightly weak, you can wade through it.  The water crosses the river. We can break through the 'iron defense line' advocated by Ceradiel through there. However, the scout reported,In front of the ford is a stronghold with four hundred Ceratirians.  "Belivre put his hands behind his back and paced while saying, "I think that at this time, with a few more helping hands, it is more possible to capture the stronghold that needs to be pulled out.  "Belivre stretched out his finger, "You guys.  "

    "Sir, we don't like" Just as Leer was about to explain, Beliver knocked the sword in his hand on the ground.

    "You are distressed because you are unable to cross the border." Belifer roughly understood their situation, "Listen to me, and you can cross the border along the ford. If you refuse, every inn and village in Celadiil will be destroyed."  There are warriors from the Nuandong Territory waiting to draw their swords."

    "There's no choice," Burt said. "Andit doesn't sound difficult."

    Bellifer's plan was to send a force of 200 men to launch a sudden attack on the stronghold. When the defenders were in panic, he would arrive with 50 personal guards and launch a fatal blow to the defenders.  .  The others will come out in full force, some as a new force to completely annihilate the enemies in the stronghold, and the other part will form a formation to intercept the troops of Fort Jellegg.

    "You will definitely come back alive." Baileyful said to them sincerely after arranging the plan.

    Everything is well arranged.  The young soldiers, under the orders of their officers, prepared for battle.  In order to ensure concealment, the cooking smoke was also covered up, so it was impossible to tell that there was an army of a thousand people here.  Hot soups, steaks and fresh fish keep everyone energized.  The people in Nuandongling were very enthusiastic. They picked up the wine bottles and even though they turned off the lights, they were still singing, talking and preparing in a low voice.  Everyone is filled with the yearning for glory and the supreme courage and confidence to defend dignity.

    This can be easily seen, their password is "Nuandong Awakening" and the reply is "Empire Tremor".

    Towards night, the soldiers were summoned for training.  They are clearly divided into sections.

    The guards who used to deal with bandits and pickpockets became rare "veterans" after joining the army and became the backbone of the Nuandong rebels.  A considerable number of experienced mercenaries saw the opportunity to join the army and became the backbone of it.  Other young people have simple thoughts and are among the cutting-edge.  Although the fire of rebellion ignited not long ago, it had been brewing for some time.  So when the lords of Longyin City raised the flag of resistance against Seladir, all the villages and towns responded one after another.

    Many passionate Dongling people have been instilled with similar ideas.  When Longyin City rang out, they all volunteered to become part of the rebel army.  They have enough courage and strength to handle most battles.  In addition, most of these soldiers are hunters and fishermen, making their strength even more important.

    Bert can see that the new recruits have basically received at least two months of basic training and have basic skills and discipline.  He felt a little more relieved. There was no numerical advantage in the first place. If his side was a bunch of untrained rabble, they might not even be able to touch the gate of the stronghold, and they might be frightened by the defenders' crossbows and flee.  .

    According to intelligence, the stronghold opposite the ford is not strong, with only some low walls and a wooden door.  However, as long as the gate is closed and the crossbowmen are placed on the low wall, it will still pose a great threat to the attackers.

    The defender¡¯s arrows can kill and injure some of the attackers.  As the attackers prepared their siege engines, some of them were killed or wounded.  Much blood will also be shed when the walls and gates are attacked.  As they surged up the walls, it took many lives to gain a foothold.  By this time, only the bravest, best-trained, and most disciplined soldiers would not flee.

    In order to deal with the defense of the stronghold, this team of 200 people is equipped with fifteen ladders, which is more than enough to deal with the four-meter-high low wall.  At eight o'clock in the evening, under the cover of night, with everything ready, they stepped across the shoal and entered the Celadiil Empire.

    From the conversations of other people, it can be understood that this river is notoriously fast and can almost be said to be a natural hazard.  It is precisely because of this terrifying river that the Nuandong Territory has the courage to challenge the Ceratil Empire.

    If we can capture Fort Jarreg, then the Nuandong Territory will not only shout loudly, but also dare to step directly on the nose of the Ceratil Empire.  Because once Jareg Fort is occupied by the rebels, this river can be said to belong to the Nuandong Territory, and there is no need to worry about Ceradiel's attack.  By this time, the Celadiil garrison stranded in the Nuandong Territory will be wiped out in one fell swoop. Ordinary Celadiil will not be able to escape back to their hometown, and will become prisoners and become bargain items in negotiations with the empire.

    "If things go wrong, use the 'Dark Dragon' and Li'er will summon the tree spirit." Bert said, "In other cases, save your magic power and physical strength and don't waste your power."Our strength should not be wasted here.  "

    The person who commanded this small army was an experienced officer. He ordered everyone to stop, take shelter in a patch of long grass, and assemble the ladder.  The crossbowmen quietly cocked and nocked their arrows, aiming at the unsuspecting defenders.

    "" There was no sound, no offensive roar.  Everyone followed the officer closely and ran towards the stronghold like a dormant black beast in front of them.  The sound of intensive running and the red figures under the pale moonlight finally woke up the defenders in the stronghold.  (To be continued.)
