Chapter 575: "Lobbying" The Mountain Barbarians (I)

Britannia Empire, North, at the foot of the Ligasos Mountains (Mount Bra), the Pingman Legion stronghold.

Standing on the observation deck, Deng Jiaer, full of confidence, held the purple knight sword at her waist with one hand and the wooden railing on the observation deck with the other hand, looking at the huge mountain range in front of her that looked like a lying beast.

This was the second time Deng Jiaer led the army alone, and also the first time she led the army alone since she became a knight.

The last time she led the army was when the "Summer Wind" offensive was launched a year ago. At that time, she obtained Su Cheng's permission to lead the army, commanded all the cavalry of the East Route Army, penetrated into the rear of the Luo Lin Army at lightning speed, and eliminated 15,000 enemy troops, making great contributions to the victory of the "Summer Wind" offensive.

Thanks to this contribution, Deng Jiaer finally got her wish to become a knight sword, obtained a purple knight sword, and took a big step towards her dream.

This time, a year after her first independent leadership, she finally had the opportunity to lead an army for the second time.

This time, she no longer led 5,000 cavalry, but led a full 10,000 troops to attack and destroy the mountain barbarians who refused to surrender in the Ligasos Mountains.

Although she led a small number of troops, the scale of the battle was not large, and the enemy was not a very formidable enemy, Deng Jiaer still cherished this opportunity.

Deng Jiaer was not stupid, she knew that the reason she was able to get the opportunity to lead the army to pacify the mountain barbarians was entirely due to Su Cheng's favoritism towards her.

The Knights of Michael were full of powerful generals, and there were a total of 20 knights who could lead more than 10,000 troops to go on an expedition, including Willy, Deng Jiaer, Alyssa, Su Cheng and the current four commanders.

In terms of seniority, prestige and even age, Deng Jiaer was the last among the 20 people.

No matter how it was rotated, it would not be her turn to lead the army to go on an expedition.

The reason why Deng Jiaer was able to get the position of the commander of the Pingman Army this time was all due to Su Cheng's preference for her.

Deng Jiaer was deeply moved and grateful for Su Cheng's preference for her.

At the same time, she also felt a lot of pressure.

Everyone knew that the reason why she was able to become the commander of the Pingman Army was because Su Cheng favored her. If she did not fight this battle well, not only she, but also Su Cheng would definitely suffer from the ridicule of everyone.

When she thought of this, Deng Jiaer felt full of pressure.

While feeling pressure, she also felt motivated.

When leading these 10,000 people to the battle, Deng Jiaer secretly made up her mind: I must win beautifully! For herself and for Su Cheng!

The 10,000 troops have now been stationed at the foot of the Ligasos Mountains and can march to attack the mountains at any time.

There are two reasons why Deng Jiaer is not attacking the mountains now.

First, some tribes that chose to surrender have not moved down from the mountain. Deng Jiaer plans to wait until all the tribes that chose to surrender move down the mountain before attacking the tribes that chose to resist.

Second, a few days ago, Su Cheng suddenly informed her through a pigeon: he had sent a lobbyist to persuade the three tribes that had not yet expressed their opinions, so that these three tribes would choose to surrender and further reduce the fighting power of the mountain barbarians.

Deng Jiaer felt that sending lobbyists was a waste of time.

These three tribes have been reluctant to express their opinions, so they can be regarded as "resistance factions" and eliminated together. There is no need to be so troublesome.

Whether there is one more tribe resisting or one less tribe resisting, Deng Jiaer doesn't care. Even if all 32 tribes unite to resist, Deng Jiaer is confident that he can defeat them all.

However, since Su Cheng said that he had sent lobbyists and planned to further weaken the fighting power of the mountain barbarians,

Deng Jiaer could only obey Su Cheng's orders.

——I really don't know when this lobbyist will come...

Deng Jiaer continued to think in his heart while looking at the Ligasos Mountains in the distance.

——Although I don't know much about the mountain barbarians, I also know that they are a group of brave and fierce barbarians...It is very dangerous to lobby such barbarians...

Just when Deng Jiaer was thinking about coming out, a loud shout suddenly came from the observation tower:

"Commander! Commander!"

"What's the matter?" Deng Jiaer asked the observation tower.

"A group of people who claim to be lobbying the mountain barbarians came to our camp! They request to enter the camp!"

——Huh? What a coincidence, I just wondered when this lobbyist would come, and he came right away.

Deng Jiaer climbed down the observation tower while thinking so.

Out of courtesy, it is also right for her, the commander of the bandit suppression army, to personally receive this lobbyist who is about to go up the mountain.

In addition, Deng Jiaer also wanted to see what this warrior who had the courage to lobby the mountain barbarians looked like.

However, after quickly walking outside the military camp, Deng Jiaer saw a familiar face that she had never expected:

"Vivian?!"

Deng Jiaer looked at the girl in front of her with a smile on her face.

"Sister, long time no see~ Although it's not long since we last met."

After saying that, Vivian rushed up and hugged Deng Jiaer.

After hugging Vivian for a short while, Deng Jiaer grabbed Vivian's shoulders and pulled Vivian outward, making Vivian distance herself from her, and then looked directly at Vivian's face that was 80% similar to hers.

"Vivian, why are you here? This is the frontline battlefield! It's very dangerous! I can't guarantee that the mountain barbarians will not rush down the mountain and raid our camp!"

After saying that, Deng Jiaer found that there was an acquaintance behind Vivian.

"Huh? Mr. Samuel? Why are you here too?"

The acquaintance standing behind Vivian was Samuel, the commander of the 2nd Army of the Knights of Michael.

In addition to Samuel, there were 20 elite soldiers standing behind Vivian, whose postures showed their extraordinary strength.

"Could it be..." Deng Jiaer hesitated to Samuel, "Mr. Samuel, are you the lobbyist who is going to the mountain to lobby the mountain barbarians?"

Deng Jiaer couldn't help but cast a few suspicious glances at Samuel.

It's no wonder that Deng Jiaer looked at Samuel with suspicion, because Samuel, who was usually lazy and only used 20% of his strength, and definitely not 30% of his strength, really didn't look like someone who could handle the difficult task of "lobbying".

"I'm not a lobbyist." After hearing Deng Jiaer's question, Samuel shook his head, "I came here only to serve as the lobbyist's guard, and the lobbyist who was going to the mountain to lobby the mountain barbarians was in your arms."

"My... arms...?"

Deng Jiaer twisted her stiff neck and looked at Vivian's cute face, who was close to her, with incredible eyes.

"Sister, I know you have a lot of questions to ask me now." Vivian smiled at Deng Jiaer, "But can we wait until we enter the barracks and have dinner before asking? I'm starving now~"
