Chapter 507 Reason 1

“Hello, Marshal MacDonald, my teacher Mr. Aldrich told me to wait for you here.”

Kevin looked at him in awe. The old marshal stepped off the carriage. After arriving in Gabela, one of the first celebrity deeds Kevin learned was MacDonald. He joined the imperial army at a young age and served for The empire has won countless battles, and his name is known to all surrounding countries.

The Untouchable Macdonald—that's how he was known to his enemies.

“Your name is Kevin, right?” McDonald looked at the young man in front of him and asked.

"Yes, I am Kevin."

Kevin replied with surprise and joy. He had met McDonald a few times because of his teacher relationship, and Teacher Aldrich introduced him casually. He didn't expect the old marshal to remember his appearance and name.

McDonald smiled at him: "Thank you for welcoming me, kid, take me to see your teacher."

Kevin turned around, stretched out his hand inside and said: "This way, please , Marshal MacDonald”

The botanical garden behind the Bachelor's Tower is one of the few quiet places in the Gabera Imperial Capital. It is lush and beautiful. People in the Bachelor's Tower often come here to take a walk and cultivate their body and mind after intense research and study. But this place is not only The resting place is also where the naturalists of the Bachelor's Tower do research. The plants inside are cultivated by these scholars themselves. They work tirelessly to collect exotic flowers and plants from all over the continent and transplant them to this botanical garden. As long as they can survive, It can become the object of observation and research by latecomers, and over time a large garden has been formed here.

Beside a small lake, there stood a small pavilion, inside which two elderly bachelors were guarding a board of chess pieces and playing happily.

“Haha, your king is going to die.”

Aldrich’s junior fellow, Bachelor Alvi, stared at his senior with joy.

“Don’t be too proud. You haven’t seen that I have a backup plan. You will cry later.”

Bachelor Aldrich refused to admit defeat, but his hands stopped stiffly on the chessboard, and he still couldn't see which move his so-called second move was going to make.

“You should leave!”

Jalvi sneered, his beard almost rising up with pride.

Just when there was a stalemate, Kevin's voice came from the path leading here, "Two teachers, Marshal MacDonald is here."

The arrival of the students saved the students who were about to fall. The incompetent Maester Aldrich.

"Well, it would be nice if the Marshal had come a few minutes later, so that I could see your cute expression like a defeated dog."

Aldrich exhaled heavily, with a look on his face. It says "regret". Then he stood up and made a gesture of welcoming the guests, obviously not wanting to continue the chess game.

However, although MacDonald was welcomed, he first looked at his dear student gratefully.

“Huh!” Bachelor Arvi rolled his eyes and expressed contempt for his senior.

Immediately he stood up and joined the seniors in welcoming the old marshal.

"Oh, Macdonald, you have kept us waiting for a long time."

There are no polite words. After all, we have known each other for decades and are still loyal to the same emperor.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I have some military affairs to deal with temporarily."

McDonald apologized with a smile. The three of them sat down in the pavilion. Kevin did some errands, helped them remove the chessboard and chess pieces, and put out boiled tea and several plates of fruit.

Aldrich told the students: "Kevin, the three of us are going to chat for a while, so you don't need to work here."

Kevin knows that what they are going to talk about may not be suitable for him to listen to, okay. After a salute, he left.

After the young man walked away, Macdonald put away his smile and said seriously: "Two bachelors, I know that you are definitely not looking for me today just for chatting. I am a warrior and I don't like to bend around. Go round, so you can just say it."

Aldrich and Alvi looked at each other and smiled, and then Aldrich said: "Marshal, there were things we really couldn't say in the past. , But now, we can talk to you, after all, we are all supporters of His Highness Antonio now."

McDonald looked at him and nodded.

Alvi took the senior's words and said, "Although you have just come to His Highness's side, we feel it is necessary for you to know the full picture of things as soon as possible. As the saying goes, if you want to complete a career with one person, then Just don’t doubt him, we deeply agree with this sentence.”

“So we chose this time and this place to talk to you heart-to-heart.”

Hear both. A highly respected bachelor said this, and Macdonald's expression became more serious.

“You two, in fact, I just want to ask why the Bachelor Tower, which has been politically neutral since its creation and has never been involved in the battle for the throne, stood up to His Highness Antonio with such fanfare this time. One side."

"Oh, please don't worry."

Aldrich responded, a mysterious smile on his face.

“You will get all the answers you want next.”

……

Collins General Semen Fedotov looked at the man behind him with satisfaction. The pass is the last obstacle to Hydera, and it's all smooth sailing after that.

He stood on a small slope next to the road. From here he could see the pass. The soldiers of the Skitarii were passing through the gate of the pass one after another.

His army seemed like a long giant python, passing through the small hole and about to swallow a nest of poor little mice hiding in the hole.

After capturing this pass, Fedotov ordered the army to repair for two days in preparation for the next attack on the large city of Hydera.

A vanguard force of 3,000 people set off early to explore the road ahead and set up a camp near Hydra City.

Fedotov learned from the latest intelligence that the troops of the Corner Bay Alliance have reached this point, and they are still wondering whether they should move eastward or northward.

Fedotov almost laughed out loud at this.

Praise be to the Father in heaven, the great Lord of light, who appears and punishes the apostate—a broken brain.

Fedotov secretly vowed to uproot the heretics along the coast and spread the seeds of righteous faith so that this land would be bathed in the glory of the Father again.

"Okay!" He said to the subordinates beside him, "Let's catch up with the troops that set out earlier. I hope that when we see them, they can welcome us with a camp set up."

Fedotov slapped the horse's butt happily, and the horse spread its hooves and ran towards the south.
