In the woods about 10 kilometers away from Andrew's small mountain village, there were large numbers of barefoot farmers in worn-out clothes. They were not ordinary farmers, about 500 hundred people, each holding crude weapons, short robberies, rifles, sabers or long-handled forks. Obviously, the first two were far less than the latter two, about one-third. Originally, the farmers also had a very beautiful bronze cannon, but the road was not slippery and dragged down the mountain, so they stayed on the hill to let it get wet. Everyone had rosary beads on their belts, a heart-shaped statue of Jesus hanging on their chests, and relying on a round hat with white tape on their heads to resist the heavy rain.

This is a group of royalist rebels in the Vendian period, and they can also be described by bandits, peasants, and Jesus. They were undisciplined and sat scattered in dense woods, crowded together in groups in bad weather, pierced the hard bread they took out from their arms and swallowed the rain into their stomachs. In addition to chewing food, they also expressed their topics in vulgar dialects, including heavy rain, food and women, but women talked the most. There were only four regular officers, not only exquisitely dressed, wearing straight white uniforms and excellent weapons, each with two to three short guns and a dagger in their military boots. They did not go with the mud legs, but they all ran to the thatched huts built by the woods to shelter.

The leader of the four was a middle-aged man, who was just forty years old, named Badith, formerly the assistant prosecutor of the Circuit Court of Wandai County, and a not-so-known aristocrat in the local area. Shortly after the outbreak of the Great Revolution, the poor people in the city raped his wife and daughter and killed his whole family. Badith, alone, turned to the countryside to engage in armed activities against the Republic, and was awarded the colonel military academy by the rebel leader...

At this time, Badis was in a daze in the face of heavy rain, and he could not take into account the complaints and commotions of his officers.

"Why haven't the sentry come yet? We first waited on the hill for a day and a night, and now we went to the ghost woods to receive the damn rain baptism." The one who spoke was the youngest of the four officers, who was less than 20 years old, a noble child, the nephew of Colonel Badis.

"Don't complain, Captain Phelis. We are not here for sightseeing and enjoyment, but to accept God's mission to come to revenge and send the Andrew butcher to hell." A guy persuaded the young captain Phelis and gently patted the young man's shoulder. His name was Famey, the major of the old-style royal army. In 1792, the Republic Army defected to Wangdai.

"Hehe, Phelis, are you scared? The baby who is breastfeeding, hurry back to your mother's cemetery and ask for milk, haha." Li Shidori is also a major. His age and experience are similar to Fameiyi, and his temper is much worse than Fameiyi. Although he respects his leader, he likes to mock the young captain, which is a playboy who loves women's breasts.

Hearing the malicious attack of Li Shidori, the angry Phelis immediately pulled out his short gun and shouted loudly at the provocateur's chest: "With the honor of my mother and family, I swear before God that I must kill you, a vulgar boy. Duel, bastard!"

No one else interfered, and Badis was still staring outside in a daze. The old guy who had just comforted the young man stood still without moving, smiling at the two roosters preparing for duel. Farmey, who had been in the military for many years, naturally understood that the short gun could not be fired at all because of the rain. Everyone knew that Phelis, who had never been on the battlefield, did not understand.

Today, his old habits have been broken again. He is now "dueling" with the noble boy and offended a distant relative of Badis. He is now refuting Badis' plan of attack. But Badis has a good temper. The colonel just said: "You are too exaggerating the devil's talents. In the last battle in the valley, we also wiped out 4,000 Blue Army, as well as their commanders and commissioners."

"I'm sorry, Colonel. The last battle was just a chance. Maybe you know the inside story better than me. Besides, we had more than 20,000 people besieged them at that time, and we only won a terrible victory at the cost of more than 10,000 casualties. As a soldier, I don't need such a victory." Li Shidori said.

Even if Badis had a good temper, he could not tolerate the guy in front of him continuing to sing against him. The nobles who did not understand military just wanted to kill a few more Republicans to avenge their relatives. So he gave up his kind words and scolded loudly in a stern tone:

"Shut up, you forgot that you are a soldier defending the King of France, not a blue army of the Republicans. Enough, this is the order of Count Houster. Do you want to disobey? Now I order that after the heavy rain stops, the whole army will immediately rush to Rodette village and kill Andrew and his entourage."

"Yes, Colonel, if you insist, however, we don't have much time to bake ammunition." Li Shidori no longer insisted on his point of view, that was because he knew that the nobles in front of him had been confused by hatred.

"No need, use bayonets, sabers, forks and your daggers. That works more. convey my orders and go down and prepare."

"As for the order, colonel!" Li Shiduoli could not help but accept the colonel's order.
