Chapter 879 The Real War

"Bernard, wait a minute..."

Kuci rode his donkey and walked slowly to the right rear of El.

It was already 2 hours ago that the refugees rioted.

However, even though more than 2 hours have passed, Ku Ci's face is still pale and has not returned to its original color even now.

"Sorry..." Kuci lowered his head and apologized to El, "I didn't expect that giving that woman half a piece of bread would have such consequences..."

It was precisely because he gave the woman half a piece of bread that so many refugees came to snatch the half piece of bread, which led to the death of the woman and her daughter...

Ku Ci still feels deeply regretful for his actions just now.

"..." El sighed softly after being silent for a while, "Forget it, just know that you made a mistake and know that you can't do it again in the future."

At this point, El paused.

Then he changed into a serious tone and said to Kuci:

"Hunger is a very terrible thing. Hungry people dare to despise imperial power, laws, principles and other things that are insignificant in the face of hunger."

El told Kuci what he had just said to the young general.

"The incident just now should have made you see how terrible hunger and hungry people are." El turned his head and continued to speak to Kuci in a tone that sounded like a joke, but it didn't feel like a joke, "Remember those horrific scenes just now."

"yes……"

"Cheer up quickly, Second Class Kolowin." El raised his hand and patted Kuci on the shoulder, "We are about to encounter the Britannian Army, and you keep feeling down like this. But that’s not possible.”

"What?" Kuci looked at El in surprise, "We are about to encounter the Britannia Army."

"That's right."

"We've got refugees now."

"Since we have encountered refugees, it means that we are not far from the Britannia Army."

Having said this, El turned his head back, looked straight ahead, and then sighed softly.

"The real war is about to begin..."

…

…

Just as El said, they were indeed about to encounter the Britannian army.

After seeing the refugees, Nikita made the same judgment as El - he was about to come into contact with the Eastern Route Army of the Britannia Army!

After the Britannian Army captured the Chupol Fortress, it was divided into two armies, the eastern and western armies, and each marched forward - this was information that the Holy Hiran Empire had long known.

If the rescue force wants to rescue the west, it will inevitably fight against the Eastern Route Army of the Britannia Army first.

Since he will fight the Eastern Route Army first, it means that Nikita may have just arrived on the western battlefield and will face Su Cheng.

After all, judging from the current intelligence, the Eastern Route Army is very likely to be the main force of the Britannia Army this time.

Since it is the main force, the possibility of Su Cheng personally commanding the East Route Army is very high.

After all, letting the strongest people lead the strongest troops to complete the most difficult tasks - this is the most normal thing no matter where they are.

When he thought about having to fight Su Cheng soon, Nikita felt that his pressure was increasing day by day... No, it should be said that it was increasing with time.

Nikita did not participate in the "Iron Hammer" battle, so he had not fought against Su Cheng before.

But Su Cheng's famous name has long been known to him.

Since Su Cheng appeared in the public eye,

He never lost a battle.

So far, all the battles he has commanded have ended in complete victory.

Last year, he personally defeated Dominic, the first marshal of their Holy Hiran Empire.

Nikita and Dominic are good friends, so he also knows how strong a general Dominic is.

If compared with Dominic in terms of military command and command ability, Nikita would be ashamed of himself.

Even Dominic, who was so powerful and had the title of First Marshal of the Holy Hiran Empire, was defeated miserably at the hands of Su Cheng, so Nikita did not have much confidence in being able to defeat Su Cheng.

Especially now that he doesn't have as many troops as Su Cheng, which makes Nikita even less confident in defeating Su Cheng...

In fact, when he led the rescue force to formally dispatch troops, Nikita had never thought about defeating Su Cheng.

Nikita's idea is that as long as he can tie with Su Cheng and Su Cheng doesn't take much advantage, he will be satisfied.

After seeing the refugees, Nikita tried to calm down his nervous and fearful emotions, while sending a large number of scouts to detect intelligence, trying to find out the location of the Britannia Army's Eastern Route Army.

…

…

When Nikita sent a large number of scouts to look for the traces and location of the Britannia Army's Eastern Route Army, Deng Jiaer also sent a large number of scouts to look for the traces and location of the Hiran Army's rescue force...

A few days ago, the Eastern Route Army received reliable information: The Holy Hiran Empire sent 100,000 troops to rescue the west, and the commander was Marshal Nikita Belov, the commander-in-chief of the Central Guards.

Let’s not mention whether the Holy Hiran Empire’s rescue force has 100,000 people. After all, adding water to the number of troops sent is what the Holy Hiran Empire often does.

But the Holy Hiran Empire has really sent troops to rescue the west, which is a sure thing.

Su Cheng didn't dare to neglect when he didn't know the total strength of this rescue force.

Even Su Cheng dared not neglect it, let alone Deng Jiaer who dared not make even the slightest mistake now.

Deng Jiaer, who became the commander-in-chief of the vanguard troops under Su Cheng's favoritism, would be criticized and attacked by many people if she and Su Cheng made even the slightest mistake.

The duty of the vanguard troops is to open the way for the main force in the rear and collect intelligence, and to help the main force solve some enemies that can be solved by itself.

So after learning that the Holy Xilan Empire sent reinforcements, Deng Jiaer immediately and nervously sent all the scouts of the vanguard troops to gather intelligence.

Deng Jiaer, who felt that the scouts he had were not enough, also asked Su Cheng for a batch of new scouts.

And Su Cheng was also very generous to lend some of his elite scouts to Deng Jiaer.

The commanders of both armies sent a large number of scouts to explore each other's traces and locations.

While sending a large number of scouts to explore each other's traces and locations, the two armies kept getting closer...

Finally-the scouts of the two armies found each other almost at the same time.

Nikita finally found out where the Britannia Army's Eastern Route Army was - it was besieging the city of Vuka 80 miles to the west.

And Deng Jiaer, who was commanding the vanguard troops to besiege the city of Vuka, also knew where the Holy Hilan Empire's rescue troops were - somewhere in the wilderness 80 miles to the east.

Both sides knew where each other was.

Since they already knew where each other was, it wasn't long before the two armies officially engaged in battle.
