The Longquan River was a large river that originated from the Luas Empire's Dragon Vein Snow Mountain. The Dragon Bridge was the largest and oldest bridge in the Luas Empire. It was also the only way to cross the river. General Booth's army had also arrived early, but they didn't set up traps on the bridge like what Killer Liu Liu had imagined. They didn't set up traps on the bridge and wait for the enemy to cross the river before detonating them.
If the bridge was not there, it would take the eagle regiment a long time to cross the river. Even if they destroyed the bridge now, they could still stop the enemy's attack.
However, they did not do that. Instead, they set up camp on a hill some distance away from the bridge. It seemed like they were ready to fight.
"One! Two! "
Bang!
In the camp of the Luas Empire's army, many bare-chested strong men were hammering steel bars into the ground. They had set up magic cannons, probably to use them to attack the enemy.
Not far from the camp, there was a lush bush. A pair of eyes appeared between the leaves.
Young Raas eliminated his presence and snuck into the camp of the Luas Empire. His eyes were completely different from a year ago. They were sharper and steadier.
Suddenly, he saw a man with a red hat. The armor he wore was different from the others. It was obvious that he was of a higher rank than the others. He was probably the commander here. His appearance was different from what the young man had imagined. There was nothing scary about him, and of course, he didn't give off an amiable feeling. That was a typical aristocrat's face, but he just looked like a good person.
But so what? It was not like Raas had never seen a good person doing bad things with a good face before. He was just curious why they did not attack the bridge. Did they really think that they could fight against hundreds of thousands of bandits with only twenty or thirty thousand people?
Suddenly, just as Raas was confused, the general, Booth, suddenly turned around and looked in his direction.
When their eyes met, Raas' pupils dilated. He had goosebumps all over his body. He immediately held his breath.
Run!
He was the only one on this mission. Master Liuliu had already gone to monitor the eagle regiment. If he was in trouble, no one would come to help him.
In an instant, Raas made his decision. He immediately turned around and fled from this place. The interference of magic made it impossible for him to use dark magic to escape. This was a problem that happened most of the time. His master had repeatedly reminded him of this when he was teaching him.
He dashed out and lightly jumped onto a tree branch, shuttling back and forth between the trees. At this speed, the other party shouldn't be able to catch up.
However, just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air behind him.
With a crisp crack, the branch under his feet suddenly cracked. Raas missed his step and fell straight down.
Shit!!
He gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands. The moment he landed, he used both hands to support himself on the ground. After dispersing the falling force, he immediately straightened his hands and bounced up from the ground.
However, he immediately saw a gray-white figure. It was a soldier in armor. Raas immediately turned around and wanted to escape in another direction. Suddenly, another soldier blocked his way. There was more than one soldier! His keen ears picked up the sound of bows being drawn. He looked around and found himself surrounded.
Damn it!
He gritted his teeth, but he tactfully pulled out the dagger at his waist and threw it on the ground. He then raised his hands and slowly knelt on the ground.
Raas understood that he had no chance of winning in a head-on battle. Surrendering was his only way to survive.
"Just a little brat?"
A middle-aged soldier asked in confusion. Of course, he didn't have a good look on his face. He cautiously came to Raas' side and suddenly kicked Raas in the stomach, making him lose his ability to fight.
He was tied up by this group of people and brought back to General Booth.
General Booth seemed to be very busy. He had been working all this time, and after discovering Raas, he only gave an order. It wasn't until Raas was surrounded by a group of people that he pulled himself away from his busy work.
In front of the tent, Raas was brought in front of him.
"This is the scout of this place? Unexpectedly young. "
Booth sized up Raas, and Raas saw a trace of pity in his eyes.
He frowned and said, "I'm not from the Eagle Regiment."
"Still quibbling, kid!"
The soldier behind him scolded in disbelief.
Booth raised his eyebrows. He obviously didn't believe it.
"Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
This question made Raas fall silent, but the other party didn't have time to wait for him to think of an answer.
"I heard that Henry has a bloodthirsty youth under his command. Could it be you?"
Booth put his hands behind his back and walked in front of Raas.
Raas frowned and showed a confused expression. Then he said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You'll find out, kid! Sir, let us pry open this kid's mouth! "
A soldier behind him said.
Booth looked at Raas and said, "We have professional interrogators. You can't hide anything in front of him, but I want to give you a chance. Has the Eagle Regiment's influence already infiltrated here? How many scouts like you do they have? "
"Answer honestly! Kid! "
"No, the Eagle Regiment didn't discover your whereabouts. Even so, I don't think you can win. I suggest you blow up this bridge and send more reinforcements. Or do you think thirty thousand people can stop an army of four hundred and seventy thousand?"
The youth's words immediately angered the people behind him. They were about to curse out loud.
"Haha, how annoying. Being lectured by a child. You're right, but even a child knows. How could the enemy not know?" Booth laughed a few times. Raas didn't understand what was so funny.
"They'll arrive in about two days. It's not too late to send reinforcements."
He said a little anxiously.
"You don't have the right to say such things! Despicable little thief! "
The soldier behind him couldn't help but kick him, but Raas didn't care. He used his head to prop himself up.
Booth frowned and said, "Two days, huh? That's faster than we expected. Have the Eagle Regiment's troops all returned?"
"No, they haven't. They're all rushing here. It seems like they've given an order. Whoever captures the capital will get an extra piece of land."
Raas replied.
"I see. Then we still have a chance."
"No, that's exactly why you don't have a chance. Every one of them has brought enough food. Even if you can defeat the first one, the second one will arrive before you can rest. By then, it'll be too late for you to run."
"Thank you for the reminder. Alright, I should get to work. Take this youth away."
Booth ordered, but this order confused the soldiers.
"Um, General, should we …"
"There's no need. If what he said just now was a lie, then no one will be able to get the truth out of him. Just lock him up. We'll discuss his punishment after this battle."
"Yes, sir!"
Just like that, Raas was locked up. He turned to look at the young general who had let him go and frowned.
He knew that in two or three days, he might die in the chaos, but for some reason, he felt that it was a pity.
