"This, this, this, this..." An officer from Sussus was already confused. He seemed to recall the scenes buried deep in his memory that he never wanted to recall for the rest of his life.
He seemed to have seen the battle in which Tang Mo led 300 soldiers and defeated the 500 Susas officers he led at the time.
On that sunny morning, in just two breaths, his 500 private troops were crushed to pieces by 300 infantrymen commanded by a young man.
In fact, he didn't even stop the opponent from stopping their progress for a second, and he was completely defeated amidst the sound of a war drum that was like beating on his heart.
He didn't even dare to look back at the misery of his troops, so he was pulled by the reins by a few of his henchmen and fled to the royal city.
Then he heard that his territory was turned upside down by that man, and even his manor was burned to ashes.
Until now, he was filled with fear, fear of that sunny morning, fear of that terrible, rapid and unique drumbeat.
"Isn't this Tang Mo the same bastard who led his army across the Ice Crystal River all the way north?" At this time, an officer finally reacted and remembered the incident half a year ago that made the entire Susas Kingdom hate him to the bone. And he is as afraid of the name as a tiger.
Once upon a time, this name shrouded the entire royal city under a dark cloud. Even the soldiers stationed in the royal city were frightened by the news, and most of them fled before they even saw his flag.
In order to make this name leave honestly, His Majesty on the throne of Susas even collected 63,100 gold coins, just to buy him a promise not to continue going north.
Yes, not even daring to assemble an army to resist, the king of Susas could only spend money to buy peace.
To all the nobles in Sussus, the young man who ushered in a new era of zero-dollar purchases and committed all kinds of crimes including burning, killing, looting, and looting was no different from the devil.
But in the understanding of the officers of Susus, although they are unwilling to admit it, that name is actually placed together with the God of War.
No matter how conceited they were, they knew that they would not dare to lead only 300 people into the enemy's territory. What's more, relying only on these 300 people, that young man killed with great success, killed with great speed, killed with great success, and killed a piece of... the world!
He left with countless gold coins and smiled, but no one in the huge Susas Kingdom dared to block his way.
Even when he agreed not to go north again, but to leave south with a large amount of looted gold coins, what Susas felt up and down was not shame, but relief...
A Sussian general who didn't know that he couldn't even speak well, swallowed a mouthful of saliva before he managed to calm down, pointed at the letter, and after three minutes, he shouted in a fearful and angry voice: "He, he, he, he... He’s too arrogant!”
Finally, a Sussian general had enough of this depressing atmosphere. He emboldened himself and felt that he should be more passionate and heroic, so as to fit his image in the minds of others.
Therefore, he clenched his fists, built up his momentum, and shouted loudly: "I am sworn in with this thief! I will kill him!"
Sure enough, the people around him immediately cast admiring glances at him as "a brave man." It seems that there are some girls around at this time, who may be ready to commit themselves to him.
Some other officers also became excited and echoed excitedly: "That's right! Kill him!"
"..." Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be rushing in a direction beyond his control, Romell felt that he really wanted to shoot that bastard who was pretending to be X.
"..." The officer who had just taken the lead in acting cool also felt that he had gone too far and started to close his mouth and pretend to be transparent.
"Come on, I'll give you the command, go ahead!" Romell stared at the embarrassed officer and finally couldn't help but add insult to injury.
He took off his long sword and handed it to the other party: "Be loyal to the kingdom! You lead the troops across the river! Don't hesitate!"
The officer immediately blushed. He looked left and right. After realizing that no one was saving him, he finally gave up: "Well...ahem! I suddenly feel a little unwell. This thief doesn't need my help at all." , it’s enough to send a regiment commander!”
You see, sometimes, it is so simple to recognize yourself. When facing a tiger, the conversation across the screen is about a shovel. If it is face to face, the conversation is about how much the insurance will pay...
When Romell saw the excited officers, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What? Who else wants to go across the river and be a pioneer? How about that?"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and all the excitement immediately cooled down into silence.
"Since... you don't even have the guts..." When Romell said this, he didn't know what was going on in his heart, but he felt a little more happy inexplicably: "Then shut up!"
Everyone shrank their necks and began to talk about him. An officer asked his colleagues in a low voice: "This Tang Mo, there was no intelligence before that he was just a businessman from Bunas."
The officer beside him immediately thought of something and frowned in disbelief: "Yes! Why did he come to Beiling again and make it difficult for us?"
In the past six months, Susas' intelligence officers have not been idle. They also investigated the changes in Beiling.
On the one hand, they also knew that the troops in Beiling were equipped with more advanced weapons, and the head of the Cyric Consortium in Susas was transferred and punished because of this matter.
"Shura Martial God"
After investigation after investigation, they finally found out that the young man who led the troops into Susus and left a shadow on Susus was not actually a general from Beiling, but a businessman who served as a temporary officer. The businessman had his own property in Bunas and would not normally come to Northridge.
It was precisely because of this investigation report that the hasty dispatch of troops occurred. Susas felt that Tang Mo might not come to this muddy water.
Amidst all the chatter, an officer suddenly seemed to have figured out something and asked angrily: "Is Cyric's information inaccurate?"
"When was their intelligence accurate?" Another officer immediately echoed.
The atmosphere that had been a little awkward just now became heated again amid the denunciations of cursing the Cyric Consortium.
Then, the reasoning master also came online. One of the officers immediately used his imagination, patted his thigh and suddenly realized: "They want us to fight Tang Mo to the death, so that they can get benefits behind the scenes!"
After understanding this link, everyone suddenly felt enlightened - they seemed to have a very good reason to go south without crossing the river.
Several officers nodded in agreement with their colleagues' speculation, determined not to be taken advantage of by others: "We can't be fooled by this!"
"Yes! We don't want to be other people's cannon fodder!" With this statement, everyone began to get excited again, shouting one by one, more firmly and confidently than when they called for troops to go south.
"In order not to cause misunderstandings, we should... withdraw some distance and report the current situation to His Majesty the King." Romell's confidant suggested in a lowered voice at this time.
Romell's eyes lit up when he heard this - indeed, it seemed to be a good idea to leave this difficult matter to the king.
So he immediately nodded and accepted the suggestion: "Order the troops to retreat 30 kilometers! Then set up camp! Send knights immediately to send the news here back to the royal city!"
…
One day later, the news of Susas's retreat spread back to Ice Crystal City. A group of Beiling officers who had never seen Tang Mo burning, killing and looting in Susas looked at Tang Mo who was processing documents in disbelief.
One of the officers asked out of curiosity: "Sir, you just wrote them a letter?"
"Yeah, I just wrote a letter to them." Tang Mo approved a document and put it aside, saying without raising his head.
The officer still looked unbelieving and continued to question: "Then they retreated?"
"Yes, and then they retreated." Tang Mo nodded matter-of-factly, as if this was a matter of course.
"Are they stupid?" the officer blurted out, causing Weiss, who was standing next to Tang Mo, to almost burst out laughing.
Tang Mo put down the document and raised his head: "Maybe."
"What did you write in the letter?" Finally, one of the earl's attendants couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Greetings to the other party, introducing myself, and then asking them to get ready..." Tang Mo answered truthfully, and Weiss, who knew the truth beside him, almost couldn't help laughing again.
He knew that in the eyes of the officers of Susus, these contents were no different from the demons in hell sharpening their knives while threatening them.
It's a pity that these Beiling officers don't know, so they are still confused: "That's all?"
"That's all." Tang Mo nodded solemnly.
"Sir, Commander Romell of the Sussus Force has sent a reply." At this moment, an officer opened the door of the office and delivered a beautiful envelope.
"Read it." Tang Mo motioned for someone to come and read the reply from Susas to see what the other person had to say.
As a result, as the person reading the letter read it, he began to try hard to hold back his laughter: "Dear Mr. Tang Mo, our army's move south is just an ordinary border defense change, and there is no provocation. Please Don’t get me wrong! Our troops have now retreated to express their goodwill... Count Romel... Yours sincerely..."
