On the March, wensela was worried. He felt that he was too straightforward in front of bucken.


    He wanted to get the position of bishop, but it should not be so obvious. The rules set by the Pope are equivalent to the iron law that God punishers must abide by. Bucken can''t disobey the Pope for him, which is a promise that will not be fulfilled. However, winsera''s too excited performance left a handle on bucken and even became a pretext to threaten him in the future.


    Wensela struggled all the way to yunmang mountain. He still couldn''t let go. He said to deputy general Adelino: "after the war, no matter what the Archbishop promised us, we should treat it carefully and don''t make similar mistakes again."


    Adelino has followed wensela for many years. He knows that the general is willing to say these words to him out of trust in him, but he thinks wensela has made a mountain out of a molehill.


    "You know the Archbishop''s temperament. He disdains to do things that catch people''s mouth. I believe his commitment is true. He has also fought wars and served as a general in the divine punishment army. Archbishop Howe has also fought wars. If they can become archbishop, you can also become a bishop. As long as we make enough war achievements, the Pope will be willing to make an exception for you."


    "I hope so," sighed winsella, who was so eager for the position of bishop. In the divine punishment army, the phenomenon of emphasizing literature and neglecting martial arts is very serious. Wensela is the top five general under bucken. According to the level, she should be equivalent to the bishop. But the reality is that a bishop can yell at wensela, and a high deacon can point at him.


    The messenger leading the way in front was a high deacon. Along the way, he made a lot of trouble for wensela.


    "Tell your soldiers to keep quiet, especially those who know the way, and let them not complain so much!"


    The messenger chose a detour. Under normal circumstances, it would take up to two days to cross yunmang mountain, but according to his route, it would take at least three and a half days. Many soldiers expressed dissatisfaction with this. The messenger explained: "this road is not easy to ambush, and can avoid most of the wild animals in the mountain."


    Wensela did not speak, but Adelino could see the discontent on his face.


    Adelino advised wensela that the messenger was bucken''s confidant and there was no need to get into trouble for this trifle.


    "Don''t think about it, general. We should concentrate on the battlefield."


    "Battlefield? This is also a battlefield? Which enemy do you think is worth my concentration? Who among them is worth my more look? That munchke? A notorious hairy boy? And that elmen, just a hick in a remote place."


    "According to LAN Pigou''s war report, General Stanley around gaisack is also in Blackwater."


    "What kind of general is he?" winsora sneered. "Just a rascal!"


    "Roman Wilkins has yet to be identified."


    "No matter what his status, he''s just a young man who doesn''t know heaven and earth. It''s a great joke that the Archbishop still wants to canonize him as a holy messenger. I hate this kind of young man who has no real talent but is arrogant and ignorant!"


    The messenger walking in front of the team suddenly turned back and said, "general, how many times do I have to say? Try to keep quiet when marching. We may encounter an enemy ambush at any time!"


    "There are cowards like him!" wensela whispered. "People like him shouldn''t leave the king''s capital. It''s an insult to God''s punishment army to let him go to the battlefield!"


    ……


    Manu lay on the uphill slope and looked bored at the clouds in the sky. He led an army of two thousand people and stationed here for nearly a month. Lying on the grass and looking up at the sky is what he must complete every day.


    An eagle hovered in the sky. Manu showed a long lost smile. He had been waiting for the eagle''s response.


    Although Manda is not here, his taming skills have been effective. As long as he has not selected a new domestication target, the eagle will always stick to its mission.


    The eagle swooped down and threw something at manu. This is the signal sent by the eagle. Someone has entered the mountain.


    Manu stood up excitedly and was preparing to send a message to make Tilla ready. Suddenly, he found that the thing dropped by the eagle was a little special. It would move, right at manu''s feet.


    Manu lowered his head and took a breath. It was a poisonous snake with green skin and red spots. He stood up and was spitting out a letter towards manu.


    Manu knew this snake and was bitten by it. Twenty breaths would kill him. Fortunately, Manu was good. He pulled out a dagger and cut off the snake''s head. He pointed to the eagle and cursed, "damn big bird, let Toka shoot you down and roast you tomorrow!"


    ……


    Wensela led the soldiers and followed the messenger to the river. The river was wide, but the river was not deep. It was just below the ankle and the flow rate was very slow. The soldiers waded directly.


    The messenger stopped, frowned and said, "the last time I passed this river, the river was at least knee high. Why has the river become shallow?"


    Wensela said with a smile, "all rivers have dry seasons. This is common sense. I shouldn''t need to teach you."


    The messenger raised his head, frowned and looked at wensela: "general, why do you dig at me as soon as you speak? It seems that I have never offended you!"


    Winsora shrugged and said, "I dare not tease you. You are a noble deacon."


    The soldiers were crossing the river, but the main general quarreled with the messenger. Deputy general Adelino hurried forward to persuade him, but before he came to the main general, he suddenly heard a loud noise from the upper reaches of the river.


    When they were surprised, they all focused on the upstream. When they saw the huge waves more than ten feet high surging, the soldiers were swallowed up in the torrent before they could shout out.


    Tira, the second-order believer of Poseidon, his second-order skill is to control water.


    According to common sense, the believers of Poseidon can only control the sea water, and the ability to control the River belongs to the believers of river god.


    But Tilla is a special case. When dealing with the thief harlemon, he created his own reaction skills to the believers of the river god. Kunta found in ancient books that this belongs to the talent of mixed race believers. Tilla has a little blood of the river god.


    Through continuous research, Tilla has integrated this skill into the second-order skill. He can stop the flow of the river temporarily, just like building a dam to store the water upstream.


    This skill consumes a lot. Tilla can only persist for half a day. However, the river water accumulated for half a day is enough to trigger a mountain flood. Unfortunately, wensela has become the victim of the mountain flood. What''s more, he doesn''t know why the mountain flood came.


    Fortunately, he was a fourth-order warrior and rushed to the other side with his vigorous skills. Deputy general Adelino is a third-order divine punishment warrior. He also rushed to the opposite bank with the messenger.


    But the soldiers were not so lucky. When the flood receded and the number of people was counted, 3000 troops lost nearly 2000. Wensela sat on the ground in despair, and tears slid down her cheeks.


    Bucken urged him to cherish the soldiers. He even expected these soldiers to become the main force to conquer the southwest.


    But now more than half of them have died without a battle. The angry wensela pointed to the messenger and shouted, "this is the way you chose! You brought my army to this damn place!"


    Naturally, the messenger didn''t want to take the blame. He quickly retorted, "I reminded you that the depth of the river is wrong, but you didn''t listen at all. You told me about the dry season."


    The two began to quarrel again. Adelino came forward and advised, "this is not the time to say this. Should we continue our march or turn back immediately? We have to make a choice as soon as possible."


    This choice is really hard to make. If we continue to March, the combat effectiveness of the remaining more than 1000 soldiers is not optimistic. All grain, grass and weapons have been lost, and there are a lot of wounded soldiers.


    But if the original road turns back, who will bear such a heavy loss?


    After much deliberation, wensela decided to camp by the river for the time being and rest for a day before making a decision.


    In wensela''s view, this is a very safe choice, but for manu, this is the situation he most wants to see.


    "Tell Tilla to store water and inform Toka that it''s time for us to do it."
