Lord of the North

A mutiny erupted in the Barea Pass the night after Jason's final assault on Dede Town had left Panik in trouble.

A deputy army commander named Cecil united many nobles, big and small, and led more than 10,000 soldiers at the Baria Pass to rebel against Atum.

And this time the army stationed at the Baria Pass was selected and assembled by him.

They used the fastest speed to control another group of army commanders in the Baria Pass, and obtained from them the command of all the troops in the Baria Pass with a total of 13,000 soldiers.

Only Atum's guards remained in the pass fortress and did not fall into his hands, but this guards only had 500 people.

But when they entered the house where Atum lived, they did not find Atum himself, and even his five hundred guards disappeared.

This caused Cecil to fall into a brief panic. He had served under Atum for more than ten years, and he knew very well the horror of this excellent commander.

In other words, his mutiny was already expected by Atum, but why did he turn a blind eye and let himself bring all the troops to the Baria Pass, why did he give himself a chance to mutiny?

It's just that Cecil is very clear that now is not the time to think about this issue, he has more important things to do right now.

That night, the gate of the Barea Pass was slowly opened, and an army in the distance quickly entered the Barea Pass in the dark. They will leave here at dawn tomorrow, but they will not advance to the interior of the White Sword Province.

Tomorrow morning, a total of 15,000 soldiers will rush towards the Lucca Province along the border of the three provinces like beasts released from the cage. Their goal is the army led by Jason who is fighting Panik.

However, the previous plan had gone awry, and Panick's army had been defeated. Even if Jason's army could not be wiped out, they had to be held back and wait for domestic reinforcements.

A vanguard army of 50,000 people composed of noble private soldiers from all over the country has reached the Gos Province in the south of the Jalan Province, and within a month they will reach the fallen Baria Pass.

"Baron Dongte, I have a piece of advice for you."

Before leaving, Cecil found Baron Dongte, but his expression is not very good now, because Baron Dongte deprived him of most of his military power after he came to Baria Pass, leaving only the control of a thousand troops .

Even the girl named Audrey, who looked only about twenty years old, had the command over two thousand troops. Cecil would stay with her at the Barea Pass after Baron Dongte led his troops away.

"It turned out to be the commander of the Cecil Army. What do you want to say?"

Baron Dongte put down the task in hand, explained a few more words to a guard, then turned around and said to him eagerly.

"Atum escaped, I suspect he had already anticipated my rebellion." Cecil clenched his fists when he said this, he felt like a monkey being played around by him.

"You leaked the news before?" Baron Dongte's eager expression disappeared, and the rest was complete indifference, he said in a cold tone.

"Absolutely not, and now I'm still wondering."

Cecil gritted his teeth and said that he didn't know where he had gone wrong.

"I want to remind you that besides the 13,000 soldiers who have already fallen into your hands, there is still at least 9,000 troops gathered in the White Sword Province."

Although he was dissatisfied with Baron Dongte's attitude, he continued to say that he had now boarded the ship of Jalan Province, and it was impossible to turn back.

"This is impossible!"

Baron Dongte's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "How could there be so many troops in Baijian Province? Even if all the nobles add up, it is impossible to have so many soldiers. This is the north, not the rest of the kingdom!"

"You underestimate Atum. Although the White Sword Province is not the richest province in the north, its military strength is definitely second only to the Lucca Province.

And before Jason went to the north, his military strength was the strongest. "

Cecil sneered. He originally planned to leave Atum in the Baria Pass, so that no matter how strong the White Sword Province was, it would be useless, but he escaped.

"I see, you go back." Baron Dongte's face was livid, and now he can't wait to stuff the heads of those intelligence people into their own asses!

After Cecil left, he called Audrey over again, with a solemn expression on his face: "Audrey, after I leave with the army tomorrow, you immediately leave the Baria pass with your general guard, and I will tell Binke Take over your mission."

"Why? Father?! Didn't we already agree?" Audrey's face was full of disbelief, and she even called out her usual address.

"The plan can't keep up with the changes, and our plan has gone wrong."

Baron Dongte's face was ugly, and finally got up and kicked over the table in front of him, and couldn't help but yelled: "This useless Cecil! It's not enough to succeed! He has pushed our thousands of troops into a future. Unpredictable danger!"

Then he told Audrey about the accident.

"No! I'm not going back! Father!"

After listening, Audrey's face was full of stubbornness, and she looked straight at Baron Dongte with her beautiful eyes without blinking: "If I become a general who ran away, how can I take over your position in the future?"

"..."

Under the offensive of her eyes, Baron Dongte sighed. He really has nothing to do with his daughter, especially what she said is very reasonable.

"I will leave you another thousand soldiers. If there is a crisis at the Barea Pass, I hope you can persist until Earl Milne arrives. If you really can't persist, then retreat. Sometimes it is not a shame to take a step back."

"Thank you, Father."

In the early morning of the next day, 14,000 soldiers left the Baron Pass and marched westward under the leadership of Baron Dongte. As expected, he left another 1,000 soldiers for Audrey to garrison the Baron Pass. The general named Bink was sent to assist her.

It's just that what he didn't know was that when his army left the Baria pass, a gaze captured all their movements.

In the mountains to the northeast of the Baria pass, a man in gray armor led hundreds of soldiers and watched them leave quietly. It turned out to be the missing commander of the Atum Legion.

"It's time for us to go back and prepare. I don't want to mess things up and be punished by Princess Helena." He chuckled lightly, turned around and led the soldiers away.
