Before noon, Ma Wei took Yunia and set off with Dino.
In addition to some necessary food and drinking water, he also brought two lanky young men, one named Kovalev and the other Rusov, both new members of the Church of Truth.
The news that Ma Wei and others left Tyumen City soon reached the ears of Archbishop Henry. After hearing the news, Archbishop Henry, instead of being happy, felt solemn and heightened his vigilance.
He didn't think Ma Wei would leave Tyumen City at this juncture. If he had to leave, something big must have happened.
The direction Ma Wei left happened to be the front line.
Is there something wrong on the front line?
Katerina was unable to deal with the enemy and urgently asked Mavey for help?
No....
Archbishop Henry thought about it and felt that the possibility was very low. If the battle on the front line was not going well, he should receive the news as soon as possible. Besides, Katerina had only left a few days ago, and the enemy and we were still in a confrontation. Wouldn't it be better to ask for help now? Too early?
Thinking about it....
Archbishop Henry believed that the only possibility was that Ma Wei had received some gossip, so he hurried to the front line.
But isn't he afraid of himself?
Full of doubts, Archbishop Henry found Paul I and told him about Mawei's hurried departure from Tyumen.
"Marvie Enders is gone?"
Paul I was stunned at first, then overjoyed: "This is a great opportunity! Now the Church of Truth is extremely empty, we can take this opportunity to destroy them in one go! In this way, Katerina will no longer be able to make any waves. Got it!"
"The strange thing is here." Archbishop Henry was not in a hurry and said in a calm voice: "Marvey Enders was born in a poor family. His parents were originally servants of Duke Crowley's family. They died during the Great Famine. Spotted by Duke Crowley, he was selected as Tulay Crowley's servant and boarded the privateer."
"During the few years he boarded the ship, he performed well and accumulated a lot of credit. He even saved Turay Crowley once. In order to express his gratitude, Duke Crowley not only gave him freedom, but also officially made him a In the Royal Navy, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant soon..."
"In the Battle of Perea three years ago, after Toure Crowley fell into the sea, he also led the fleet to launch a counterattack, saved the face of the Royal Navy, and was finally awarded the Royal Badge of Honor. If he had not chosen to retire, at least he would now To be a naval captain..."
Paul I looked at Archbishop Henry in confusion: "I know everything you said. Is there any problem?"
"I say this just to tell you that Marvie Enders is actually a very ruthless person. You cannot underestimate him." Archbishop Henry said: "People like him who climb up from the bottom step by step are the most terrifying. , there are piles of bones at his feet. Although it is ridiculous for such a person to become a priest...but it also shows that he has greater ambitions hidden."
"You mean, Mawe Enders already knew that God would come in three years, so he chose to establish the Church of Truth?"
"I don't know about this. There is no clear record of the reason for his retirement." Archbishop Henry hesitated: "He is very calculating and very scheming. There must be important reasons for suddenly leaving Tyumen City at such a critical period, or the situation is so serious that He can give up on the fledgling Church of Truth, or he is too emboldened and concludes that we do not dare to take action."
"What is the reason that makes us so afraid that we dare not take action?"
Paul I sneered disapprovingly. Just as he was about to speak, his body suddenly shook and he realized something: "Where did you say he went?"
"The direction of the front line."
With a thump in his heart, Paul I stood up with Ke Lulu in his arms, came to the map, stared at the Ural Mountains, his face gradually became serious.
Under normal circumstances, Mavey, who had delivered the first batch of monks, did not need to go to the front line at all. Even Paul I was convinced that Katerina could retake Chelyabinsk.
If that's the case, why does Mavi go to the front lines?
There is only one answer. The frontline encounters a danger that Katerina cannot solve, or...
Danger is on the way.
"The Barbarossa Empire...the only one that may pose a threat to us is the Barbarossa Empire, but under the rule of the Wisdom God, it is impossible for him to attack us..."
In the midst of the murmur, Paul I moved his eyes to the left and looked at the Kingdom of Frederick, which bordered the Barbarossa Empire.
In addition to the Barbarossa Empire, currently only the Kingdom of Frederick has the conditions to launch an attack. It is impossible for other kingdoms to cross the Empire of Barbarossa or the Kingdom of Frederick....
Eliminate all impossibilities, and whatever remains, no matter how bizarre, is the truth.
Paul I swallowed, licked his dry lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Archbishop Henry, what do you think... Frederick's Kingdom is doing now?"
"They are attacking the Kingdom of Popon, and the Empire of Barbarossa is also attacking them."
"Do they still have the strength to attack the Romanov Kingdom?"
"...."
Archbishop Henry was silent. He could not answer this point. He thought it was impossible before, but now that Ma Wei suddenly left Tyumen City, he had to doubt the intentions of Frederick's Kingdom.
"The Kingdom of Frederick signed a treaty of friendship and non-aggression with us...
Paul I said with a somewhat pale face: "Our two countries often marry each other. My mother and Katerina's mother are the princesses of the Kingdom of Frederick. Did they really break the treaty and attack us?" No...impossible! Prime Minister Bismarck's policy was to reconcile with the Romanov Kingdom! There is no way Frederick's Kingdom will attack us! "
"Your Majesty, all marriages are just a pretense. The war that should be launched will never be stopped because a certain king marries a certain princess. At most, it will be postponed. What is supposed to come will always come." Archbishop Henry's face was not good-looking either. For the first time, I felt like I was falling behind.
"What should we do? Send more troops to the front line? But we no longer have the troops to support the front line...Conscription...Yes, we must recruit troops!"
Looking at Paul I who was a little confused and confused, Archbishop Henry did not look down upon him because he knew what it meant for Frederick's Kingdom to launch a war at this point in time.
"Your Majesty, it is too late to recruit troops. It will take at least a month to recruit troops to support the front line. By then, the battle in the Ural Mountains will have ended." Archbishop Henry said in a deep voice: "We should now send forces that can influence the battle situation to the front line. Just like Marv Enders."
King Paul I turned his head and looked at Archbishop Henry blankly: "Are you going to the front line?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we must guard against the attack of Frederick's Kingdom. It is currently the best solution for me to go to the front line."

"Pooh!"
At dusk, Onufri spat viciously on the ground. The sound of shelling that lasted for an hour almost deafened his ears, from the afternoon to the evening.
This was a pot of steel broth. Katerina brought all the artillery at her disposal onto the battlefield, aiming at the barbed wire fence outside the city and blasting a gap.
The thick smoke obscured everyone's sight, and it would take a while for it to dissipate. Onufri held the telescope tightly, feeling extremely anxious.
He hoped that the bombardment would work and open a route to Chelyabinsk, at which point he could charge with his cavalry.
Ten minutes later, a gust of cold wind blew through, and the smoke quickly dissipated from the battlefield. Onufri immediately raised his telescope and began to observe the enemy's lines.
Under the dim sky, a ray of sunlight shone into the slowly dissipating gunpowder smoke, revealing the large craters left by the shells one after another. Looking at them...
Onufri's heart gradually sank.
On the position full of large pits, he saw countless crooked barbed wire fences. The shelling did have an effect, but it only disrupted the regular layout of the barbed wire fences and did not completely destroy them.
He even saw the enemy soldiers in the city smiling jokingly, drinking tea from tin cans and laughing at their useless efforts.
"Made!"
Onufri cursed loudly, his chest heaved violently, and his face turned pale with anger. He had fought and enjoyed it all his life, but he had never experienced this kind of suffocation.
The other party is a bunch of shameless turtles!
After sulking for a while, Onufri became frustrated again. The opponent was indeed a coward, but he had to admit that this tactic was very effective and successfully blocked their attack...
"General!" an adjutant pointed at the barbed wire formation in front and said, "Look, there seems to be a gap!"
Onufri quickly looked in the direction pointed by the adjutant, and sure enough he found a small, imperceptible gap at the edge of the barbed wire position. Not only that, but there were more or less similar flaws in the subsequent barbed wire defense lines.
but....
What's the use?
A gap that can only accommodate one or two people passing through at the same time is of no use to the cavalry!
Extremely disappointed, he found Katerina who was watching on the hillside and told her what he had discovered.
"Is there a gap?"
"Yes...but it can only accommodate one or two people passing through at the same time. Our fast horses still can't charge up."
Her blue eyes slowly narrowed, and Katerina said thoughtfully: "That's enough."
Onufri raised his head: "What did you say, Your Highness?"
"Make note of the location of the gap. Tonight, gather 500 people. Each person will be equipped with an SA-60 repeating rifle, two revolvers, and a certain number of bullets. We will attack Chelyabinsk in a surprise attack!"
"Understood!" Onufri's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to lay out the order, he suddenly thought of something: "Your Highness, who will lead the team? Why don't you let me go? Although I am a cavalryman, even if I don't have a horse, Cavalry can also run faster than infantry!"
"I have already decided who will lead the team."
Katerina turned and walked towards the temporary command post. Onufri followed closely behind her and asked curiously: "Who did you choose, Your Highness?"
"I."
