After Byron's main force arrived, he did not launch an attack.

The little queen immediately looked at the enemy camp ahead at the height of a small hill. She was only accompanied by a limited number of followers, including Baranka. Ash Rufate was not by her side. From this position, the movement of the enemy was clearly seen. Byron was building a solid camp. They had been carrying out this project since noon after Byron's army arrived.

"Your Majesty, Byron may intend to confront us for a long time." Baranka said beside the little girl. "What they are building is not a temporary rest camp, but a solid large camp. This thing cannot be built in one day or two... I think there will be no full war before they build this camp."

On the side of the little girl, we also used the few days before Byron arrived to arrange corresponding fortifications based on the favorable terrain between the mountains. However, if the enemy does not attack, the fortifications will have no meaning.

"Your Majesty, this scene seems to be like the Battle of Sparg Hills." Barranca said. "We have a disadvantage in our troops, but we have occupied the favorable terrain and arranged corresponding fortifications... It seems that Byron is not a complete fool, at least he knows that if he is strong and attacking, he won't win." Barranca said.

"Can you tease the enemy's attack?" said no one behind. "I heard that Byron is an irritable person."

"It may be difficult. Although Byron is an irritable person, his anger can easily calm down." Baranka said. The little girl looked back at him. She knew very well now that Baranka seemed to be doing all her chances to get close to him.

"Is there any good way?" The little girl turned her head and looked at Balanca.

"I'm afraid it's difficult," Baranka replied in a low voice. "In my guess, even if we accomplished the record of burning enemy rations, Byron would not take the initiative to attack, but retreated back to his old nest, Fornoros. He is the kind of... extremely safe and careful person. Although it is not suitable to be a general,..."

"Isn't it suitable to be a general?" The little girl glanced at Balanca again.

"Yes, your majesty," replied Baranka. "Military, this cautious character cannot be a general. Although it is a bit of a boastful person, if we have the same force as the enemy, I am very confident to defeat him."

"Oh... do you have the confidence to defeat him?"

"With the same force, your majesty," said Baranka. "But now his military strength is three times that of ours... Your Majesty, have you heard of a saying?"

"What's the saying?"

"Even a genius who appears once a thousand years can offset only twice the difference in military strength." Baranka said. "This sentence was left by General Gilles. He was a very outstanding general. His greatest victory was to defeat 70,000 enemies with 40,000 troops. At that time, his subordinates congratulated him on saying that he was invincible in the world, and this great man said this... Perhaps an excellent critic said this sentence. In short, I think this sentence makes sense."

"Forty thousand vs. 70,000? But Garunas...I remember Garunas had fought a battle with a greater difference in strength and a greater success in the battle?"

"The nature is different. I know that during the Battle of Sparg Hills in Garunas, the troops were only one-third of the enemy. I admit that this victory was even more brilliant, but this victory... can be said to be a deceitful technique, which can be carried out by specific terrain and conditions. General Gilles fought head-on on the plains, relying on the correct use of troops and formation dispatch, and finally defeated the opponent to win. Therefore, in the eyes of some more conservative historians and soldiers, General Gilles received a higher evaluation. Of course, I have no intention of derogating the wilderness sage Gilles."

"So that's it... I understand." The little girl answered casually.

She did not look back this time, so she did not see the surprise flashing in Baranka's eyes. Now the mercenary has confirmed that the little girl is indeed not aware of military affairs - because she doesn't even know about Gilles. People who have studied military affairs cannot not know such a great celebrity... With this alone, he can see that the little queen is not proficient in this. But for some reason, the little queen has never held a formal military meeting.

Rather than saying that this is against common sense, it is ridiculous. It is amazing that a queen goes to war on her own and serves as commander (not to mention that she is only twelve years old), but she obviously doesn't know much about military affairs, but she refuses to hold a military meeting to listen to her subordinates' opinions.

Since the war, the little queen has decided the arrangements of the army alone, and there has been no sign of intending to use the wisdom of their subordinates to this day.

Of course, she also had chats with her subordinates about the situation and strategy on the way. But chatting is ultimately a chat, and she will not draw clear opinions and cannot form a conclusion. It is just a reference. Moreover, she rarely expresses her own opinions, just ending with words like "well", "I understand", "so that's it".

If it were someone else, Baranka might think it was childish or stupid. But this little girl...not to mention anything else, just passing through the mountain road calmly this time is like a miracle. Did she know it long ago? Or is it really just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse?

With Baranka's experience of hiring mercenaries for so many years, I feel that I can't see through it. Is this considered to be born brave? Or is it natural?

"Anyway, you mean, because Byron has the advantage of military strength, we have no choice now, right?"

"This..." Such straightforward words made people unable to get out of Taiwan, but after all, the other party was the queen, so Baranka could only hesitate for a long time and finally said "That's it."

"Well, at least you're right. It seems that Byron will not try to attack before repairing his turtle shell." The little girl said. "Let's go back."

Practice is the best teacher. After experiencing the experience of being worn out and bloody, the little girl now looks a bit decent when riding a horse. In addition, this horse is indeed relatively tame, which allows her to easily control it.

Wang Jun’s camp was built on a narrow and long open space at the inner end of this valley. The two armies’ camps were about one ligament away. This ligament was an ideal battlefield, because it could only allow the two armies to form a total of no more than 30,000 troops. If there were more troops, it would only be arranged in the rear as a backup and would not be used for much use. In order to better utilize this terrain, Wang Jun also laid trenches and fences on the battlefield.

However, although Wang Jun had already formed a formation on the battlefield before, Byron was not fooled. Even if he invited the other party, he ignored it. Everyone could see that Byron would not take the initiative to attack before establishing a good camp. Even if he established a good camp, he would not take the initiative to attack.

It's getting dark.

The little girl's living tent is not far from the Central Army tent. Although it is said to be a large tent, it has not been used much, because so far, the queen has not held any military meetings at all, and at most it is just to summon the generals to assign tasks. However, at this time when it was supposed to be a rest, the little girl's figure appeared in the large tent.

She came in quietly from a corner next to her, and no one saw it. Of course, it doesn't matter if she is seen, after all, she is the queen.

"Ash Rufate!" The little girl saw Ash Rufate at a glance. She ran over and hugged the other party in an instant. Although she tried hard to pretend to be a confident leader for a day, in fact, only she knew the shock of seeing the enemy's huge army.

What is obviously shaken when you see the White Eagle flag, what is not daring to act when you see the Queen is completely wishful thinking. Although today is just a distance view, the little girl still truly feels that the other party’s morale is high. When Balanca said that, only she knew the uneasiness in her heart.

But at this moment, when I hugged Eshu Rufate, all the worries, worries, anxiety, and fear disappeared. Everything else in the whole world was no longer important, only the two of them were important.

After a long time, the two people separated.

"I... have already made someone dig the way," said Ashu Rufate. "Now our cannons can easily reach the front line."

"You..." The little girl suddenly had an ominous premonition. "Why do you say this?"

"I'm leaving." Ashu Rufate suddenly said softly.

"Leave?" This time the little girl was already a little panicked. "What are you leaving? What does it mean?"

"Look at this." Ashu Rufate had a letter in his hand. "Byron actually found someone to deliver a letter to me... He wanted to meet me privately tonight."

"Meet?" The little girl suddenly realized what Asu Ruffat wanted to do. "You want to see him?"

"Yes, I'm going to see him."

"Is this... dangerous?"

"It should be considered dangerous," Ash Rufate replied. "If I was not wrong, with Byron's idea, he would definitely try to make him surrender and surrender to him. Once I refuse... this meeting will immediately become a Hongmen Banquet."

The little girl was eager to speak, but Ashu Rufat poked her forehead with his hand, making her unable to speak at once.

"Remember what I said to you?" he said softly. "To win this war, you need courage. Now, it is the time to take your courage."

"As long as you are by my side, I have the courage to face anything."

"But this time, I can't be with you."

...

The cells in Fornoros were much cleaner than expected.

Although Byron was declared a traitor by the Queen, at least in his own territory, especially in Fornoros, he could be regarded as a kind and wise ruler. This is also reflected in the cell. The prisoners in the cell did not tell the truth.

Cleo moved forward all the way to the end and saw the person he was looking for. In this simple and clean cell, there was an old prisoner full of white hair.
