Although Rias hoped to reach Castile as soon as possible, it was still the morning of the third day when she entered the country.
The route the team took avoided the original route taken by the army.
It did not pass through the original capital of the Arturan Empire, but was on the edge, and then directly entered the border of Castile.
Fortunately, I haven't encountered any remnants of the Atulan Empire in the past three days, and I haven't encountered other obstacles along the way.
Of course, even if I did, it was probably just to give Anwenna some practice.
Wang Chu noticed a few villagers hiding and watching from a distance.
They did not dare to approach the team and just hid in the distance and watched quietly.
It is estimated that it should be from a nearby village.
There will be no people living in such a large area.
Since Atulan's political rule has collapsed, let alone the remaining forces, even people with some ability in the local area may join.
Among bandits, burning, killing and looting are most common in a country where the ruling class has been completely destroyed.
This is also the reason why Rias travels with tens of thousands of people.
Seeing a team with so many people, even those who have some thoughts may not dare to take action, not because they can't beat it but because it will take some time.
In the past few days, she has been receiving letters and information from the letter eagle.
The situation was exactly as I thought.
With the collapse of the Atulan Empire, those small countries that had been oppressed for many years suddenly became energetic and sent a large number of soldiers to nearby cities and began to plunder the properties in the cities.
On the contrary, the two empires seemed more civilized.
The northern generals also dispatched other troops to occupy nearby large cities, but they only suppressed the rebellion and did not seize any property.
Lucia and Rias also questioned themselves about this matter.
At first Wang Chu thought he was here to rob things, and it seemed reasonable for a poor country to rob a rich country.
However, when he noticed someone secretly observing the team during the journey, he figured out that just as people who were not strong enough did not dare to approach the team, small countries should have thought that they would not speak at all in the negotiations between the next few big countries.
Even if we send troops to fight, it will be of no use.
Instead of waiting for several big countries to discuss how to divide the territory, it is better to grab some resources that are useful to them before they get here, and use participation in the war as a cover.
A very cost-effective deal, otherwise it would not be cost-effective to relocate it to a remote place and waste time and money on re-construction.
The understanding of land in this world may be different from what Wang Chu originally thought.
National land is still mainly practical.
Due to population and economic constraints, if there are no available resources in the allocated part, it will be more than worth the loss for many small countries. , it needs to be developed and troops must be sent to guard it.
It's better not to have it In the competition between countries, every step is carefully calculated.
Wang Chu sighed.
Most of Castile's national borders are bordered by mountains.
In fact, this method is used in many human countries, because plains are difficult to draw boundaries and can easily cause disputes.
Mountains are the best.
This side is you, that side is me.
You can see a gourd-shaped tower in the distance, with a gray-white flag flying at the top.
Maybe it was colored before, but it has been washed away by rain all year round, so the color has faded, leaving only a city wall pattern painted on these surfaces.
"The Northern Wall, the pride of Castile, is also the largest building in the entire human empire."
Lucia on the side looked at the flag on the tower and said.
Over the years, she has transformed from an unknown maid to an imperial general, and Wang Chu can also see her efforts.
When I was in the Imperial City, I could see the lights in her room on every night.
She was born to a commoner, and she was born in a vassal country.
It can be said that it is very rare to have what we have achieved today.
"It turns out that their flag also looks like the Wall of the North."
Many people know about the Wall of the North, but those who have never seen it have never understood it.
The weather was pretty good.
When the team walked into the valley, they saw a dozen strong cavalry running towards them from a long distance away.

"Are you a team from the Asta Empire?"
The armors of several countries look different, and the team also holds flags, so when Rias discovered the opponent's tower, the opponent should also have discovered the team here.
"We are the Asta Imperial Army, subordinates of Commander Rias."
The leading knights also ran forward to talk.
Castile and the Asta Empire became allies in the recent war.
This news has long spread throughout the country, and people here have also received news of the victory of the war not long ago.
"Okay, just wait a moment."
Two of the soldiers ran back.
Wang Chu transformed into a raven and flew a little higher to take a look.
It turned out that behind the valley was a city wall fortress built by the opponent.
A huge wooden nail plate door blocked the way.
At this time, the door opened a small gap, just enough for the two of them to enter.
"We are allies who have won the war, and there is also the King of the Forest, but they are worried."
An adjutant asked beside Lucia.
She is also a girl.
It is said that she is Nikos's sister or something, so she was promoted to an adjutant.
Wang Chu heard Rias mention it before when he was at home in the imperial capital.
"After all, this place is not a central city, and the information received will not be comprehensive.
It is probably only their leader who knows and there are so many of us that he dare not let go.
Maybe they don't have that many defenders."
Lucia hesitated for a while and said. .
Only then did Wang Chu pay special attention to the surrounding defensive buildings.
Although it is the first empire on the mainland, everyone on the border is pretty much the same.
There has been no war all year round and many things are old.
The soldiers who occasionally poke their heads out are also wearing old armor.
Sure enough, as Lucia said, the door was fully opened soon.
A short, fat general in his forties with a big beard ran out on a horse and led the team.
"I'm so sorry, Commander Rias, I didn't know you were here in person as the vanguard."
When he was almost in front of Rias, he hurriedly dismounted.
Generals from allied countries do not need to salute, but due respect is necessary.
Wang Chu noticed that the bearded forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his eyes were looking around with some fear.
Soldiers are not good at acting.
This should be his real performance.
In other words, he was mentioned in the victory information of Castile, and he knew from his appearance that he was among them.
Landing on Rias's shoulder.
The bearded general whispered in fear.
"Commander Rias, Lord King of the Forest, I am Prado, the general of the Vasili region.
I am very happy to welcome you."
After he finished speaking, all the soldiers behind him stood in two lines, like a welcoming ceremony to greet everyone's arrival
