Although Alva the Pearl of Light is nominally the queen of Falvia, in reality it is Falvia who controls the entire government.

"Got it! Let's not rush to attack Weiyeha Castle. The decisive battle with Shariz is what we need to do. Now the lords of the kingdom are focusing on this final battle. If we win, then the other lords who are waiting for the result will naturally know which side they should stand on! But if we fail, the lords within the kingdom will regroup under Sultan Hakim."

There are still lords like Dukuba in the Sarranid Sultanate. Although Falvia has already captured two cities in the Sarranid Sultanate, plus the territory of the Khergit Khanate seized, it can be said that Falvia has an absolute advantage. If it were not for Sultan Hakim's amazing wealth, the one sitting on the throne now would probably be Alva, the Pearl of Light.

Falvia stood up and glanced at the generals on her left and right. Among them were those who were sent by other lords to serve under his command, as well as those who were closest to him.

As if remembering something, Falvia frowned and continued to look at Gozert.

"Gozert! Go to Weiyeha Castle again and inquire in detail about the number of troops Wals brought this time."

Falvia's expression was serious, but Gozert's face was full of indifference.

"I have already found out about this. The elite troops led by Wals are only the 500 Nord soldiers he brought with him after defecting from the Nord Kingdom. These Nord soldiers followed Wals in his campaigns and are naturally the elite among the elite. However, the remaining 600 people are just ordinary recruits recruited by Wals' own lords from all over Rhodok. They have almost no combat experience and were hastily recruited from the fields."

Although Gozert said this, Falvia disagreed.

"No! Wals actually said that if he dares to lead his army to support Sultan Hakim, he will definitely be able to defeat us! After all, he is known as the God of War in the Kingdom of Nord."

This time, Falvia frowned extremely deeply, as if telling Gozert, if you don’t go, you will be in trouble next!

Gozert also knew what Falvia's expression meant. He quickly saluted Falvia and then left in a hurry. He understood that Falvia was not a harsh person, but this was a very urgent matter. After all, Wals enjoyed the title of God of War on the continent, and it was hard to say who would win or lose in a fight with Falvia!

But for Gozert, he felt that Falvia would definitely win. Falvia had 300 Sarranid Mamluks, who were the elite troops of the Sarranid Sultanate. Falvia led an army to annihilate many enemies who fought against him, including those elite Sarranid Mamluks who charged towards Falvia when the civil war broke out.

Falvia not only possessed extraordinary military power, but also had solid tactics, which enabled him to bring out the power of the Sarand Mamluks to the fullest extent.

Although Wals also has a cavalry team, known as the best Swadian knights in the field on the continent, when the Swadian knights and the Sarand Mamluks meet, it is really hard to say who will win! After all, both of them enjoy a high reputation in various fields.

However, this is under the situation of equal numbers. The troops led by Wals now only have dozens of Swadian knights. When 300 Mamluks meet the Swadian knights, the result is self-evident. He can fully believe that Falvia leading 300 Mamluks can directly push down Wals's 1,100 troops.

However, Gozet's idea still has limitations. Although Sultan Hakim is hiding near Sharez, he still has 200 Sarand Mamluks inside the city.

While feeling happy, Gozert walked leisurely on the desert. He rode on a desert horse and was followed by a scout. He was a reconnaissance captain. At this time, he had to complete the task assigned to him by Falvia and observe the Wals army near Weiyeha Castle.

The sun was about to set. He had already reached the border between the Sarand Sultanate and Rhodok and had heard about the Vols army. Falvia once again sent Gozert to find out about Vols's strength, which really annoyed Gozert. However, he did not dare to disobey Falvia's orders.

So he took a few of his companions and walked slowly forward, looking at the sun that was about to set.

"Guys! The night will provide us with the best concealment. Under the darkness, we can know the quality of the Vols army. We can check their quality clearly."

Gozert walked forward while teasing his subordinates. Suddenly, a small black dot appeared in front of him. Gozert knew what this meant. He had been helping Falvia to find out where the enemy was in the desert recently. A small black dot appeared in front of him, which meant that there was a group of people slowly moving towards them.

Sure enough, as time passed, a group of people appeared on the horizon of the desert. The number of people in this group was the same as that brought by Gozert. Gozert and his companions had a total of five people, while the horse-faced man in front of him also brought four people.

This man was none other than Borcha, who was sent by Wals to investigate Falvia.

Bolcha played a group of travelers heading to the Sarande Sultanate, and coincidentally, Gozert also had the same identity walking in the desert, and he was traveling in Vieja Castle as a traveler. At this time, the two groups met, and Bolcha was the first to speak: "Brothers on the opposite side! Where are you from? I haven't been in the Sarande Sultanate for a long time, and I'm not familiar with the road conditions here. I want to go to Shariz! I wonder if you can show me a way?"

Gozert looked at Bolcha in front of her, and she suddenly felt that the face in front of her was somewhat familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen this person?

But he knew that in order to act like a proper traveler, he had to answer Bolcha's questions.

"If you continue to go south, you will reach Shariz. But I have to remind you that Shariz is not peaceful recently. The rebels of the Sarand Sultanate have begun to plan to attack Shariz. If you go to Shariz, you might bring disaster upon yourself!"

Bolcha pretended to be surprised, but in fact he had already known that Falvia wanted to attack Shariz, and this news was already known to everyone.

"There is such a thing? I thought the rebellion would be put down soon, but Sultan Hakim has not put down the rebellion yet! Can you tell me more about the Sarand Sultanate?"

Gozert couldn't understand the person in front of him. This traveler was asking for some information. If ordinary people knew that there were some great difficulties ahead of them, they would definitely retreat. After all, Shariz was about to go to war, and those caravans and travelers would hide as far away as possible, at least away from such a war-torn place. But looking at the tone of Bolcha in front of him, it seemed that he didn't want to escape from Shariz at all, but was eager to try.

"That's strange! The war is about to start in Shariz, why do you need to know so much? Are you a spy for the enemy?"

Bolcha looked at Gozert with an extremely surprised look. She was pretending to be calm. When Gozert mentioned the spy, Bolcha realized that she seemed to have been exposed. But she thought about it carefully and couldn't figure out what was wrong with her! She had no choice but to continue.

"No! No! Please don't misunderstand me. I'm just a traveler passing by. Let's not reveal our names to each other. I'm just asking for directions. Shariz is my destination. If something unexpected happens, I will definitely not go there. But I was entrusted by someone..."

Bolcha pretended to be hesitant to speak, which aroused Gozert's interest and dispelled Gozert's suspicion. However, Gozert's suspicion disappeared a little, but Bolcha's suspicion rose. He suddenly felt that the two travelers in front of him were not real travelers, but spies sent by the enemy.

However, Bolcha concealed his suspicion very well. He knew that he could not reveal his doubts in front of anyone, because revealing his doubts would also arouse suspicion from others.

"Okay! I seem to understand your difficulties. Then I will tell you that I don't know much about the situation near Shariz. After all, a war is about to break out there. The farther I can get away from this disaster area, the better it will be for me. I am going to the north now!"

"north!?"

波尔查的怀疑之心越来越重了，他不经意之间暴露了吃惊与疑问！尽管这只是一小丝丝的变化，但是心事缜密的戈泽特却感受到了波尔查身上的变化，他的疑心又再度恢复起来。

眼前的这个人是奸细！

两个人的心中同时想起了这句话，但是他们又是同时心照不宣的默默的从对方的身边走过，他们只是侦察兵而已，并不是主力的作战部队，况且对方人数和自己相当，真的打起来到底谁胜谁负还很难说？戈泽特看了看自己瘦小的身板，虽然说波尔查也有着同样的身板，按理说他们是势均力敌的，但是在这里两败俱伤对双方都不好！

“我的朋友啊！既然你不知道的话我就继续前进了，祝你好运，希望你能够到北方找到一个好地方。”

波尔查想眼前的人行了一个普遍的礼节，算是作为告别。

戈泽特也是同样回了一个礼，双方的眼神当中都透露着一股浓浓的怀疑，他们错身而过，只是在这时，波尔查眼前的视野当中，那沙漠的地平线之上，扬起了阵阵尘土，此时太阳才刚刚降到地平线以下，红红的太阳还有一半暴露在地平线之上，借着微弱的日光，波尔查可以看见在戈泽特所来的那个方向有一队人马正朝着自己这里前进。

不能够在这里久留的！

波尔查几乎想都没想就准备掉头离开，可是在这个时候，他同样遇到了正准备掉头的戈泽特。

双方都同时惊讶万分，因为他们根本就没有想到，对方居然还要掉头？波尔查的怀疑顿时就消失了，后面的那一群人，难道不是和这一个间谍是一伙的？

可是下一秒的时候，波尔查就知道了戈泽特为什么要掉头了！因为在戈泽特的身后，也就是自己所来的那一个方向，同样扬起了一片尘土，那是大队人马前行所造成的飞扬情况，这说明自己也有一队人马来支持自己！

“我的朋友啊！你知道你来的方向那里出现的一队人马是干什么的吗？”

戈泽特带着半分怀疑之心说道，他现在已经有五成的把握可以肯定对方是沃尔斯所派来的奸细。

“不！我并不知道，可是，我的朋友，你来的那个方向也出现了一队人马，你能告诉我那一队人马是干什么的吗？”

波尔查也是对眼前的这个人写了极大的怀疑，戈泽特茫然而不知所措。因为他也不知道从自己的方向所来的那一队人马到底是干什么的？按照常理来说，这附近的旅行者和商队都因为这里将要开展而躲得远远的，因此过来的人很大机遇就是法尔维娅派过来支援自己的部队。

两个人的眼神再一次碰撞到一起，气氛顿时就紧张起来了，双方的随从们都不自觉的把自己的手摸索到自己的腰间，在他们的腰间都悬挂着一把铁剑。这是为了应对紧急情况而备用的武器。

其实最终结果是大大出乎两个人的意料的，法尔维娅在戈泽特身后安排了一支军队，他是由拉克曼所带领的，而波尔查也是同样的情况，沃尔斯神不知鬼不觉的安排了另外一支部队跟在了波尔查的身后，而带领这只部队的则是法提斯，法提斯是一位骑马军官，此时他带着刚刚从领地里面征招过来的罗多克新兵，赶到了波尔查的身边。

此时，波尔查和戈泽特已经把他们的武器给拔了出来，法提斯已经意识到不妙了，眼前的这一伙自己不认识的人说不定就是一伙奸细。他连忙将自己腰间的武器给抽了出来，那是一把锋利的单手剑，把与此同时，他也注意到了在自己面前的那一个方向也出现了一队萨兰德苏丹国的人马，看着这一队人马的装扮，就可以知道他们是正宗的萨兰德苏丹国人。可是带头的那一个人却好像不是本地人，她是一个外来者。

拉克曼作为法尔维娅手下的大将之一，他的地位和法提斯的地位足可以相提并论，虽然在此前的战斗当中，艾米瑞达和艾雷恩似乎已经在沃尔斯的战斗过程当中立下了赫赫战功，他们的光彩掩盖了法提斯等人的辉煌，但是法提斯也有着重大的功劳，毕竟他总是在关键的时候吸引了敌人的火力。

拉克曼也是迫不及待的拔出了自己腰间的武器，和法提斯一模一样，拉克曼也是以使用这一种锋利的单手剑。

波尔查毕竟只是一个侦察兵，他亲自上战场的时候连他自己都可以数的出来，而眼前的戈泽特和波尔查也是同样的货色。

“我说兄弟啊！我都不用再猜了，你一定是法尔维娅派来的奸细吧！”

波尔查一副恍然大悟的模样，他对眼前的戈泽特多了几分凶狠之色。撕掉伪装的恶狼此时浮现在戈泽特的面前。

尽管波尔查想要树立一个饿狼的形象，不过伏尔加的模样在戈泽特的眼睛当中，就是一条恶狗罢了。

“这样的话，我也不用多问了，想必你就是沃尔斯派到我方的奸细吧！你们军队初来乍到，最重要的是要知己知彼，既然如此的话沃尔斯也一定会派遣奸细到我们的军队当中去的。”

知己知彼是法尔维娅常常挂在嘴边的一句话，戈泽特听也听习惯了，此时他生搬硬套说出来的这一番话。

他们两人的随从都拿出了武器，就在这一个时候，拉克曼和法提斯随即赶到，拉克曼所带领的是萨兰德骑兵，尽管不是精锐的萨兰德马穆鲁克，但也是强大的军队，而法提斯带来了士兵大多数都是征召的罗多克士兵，他们只有少量士兵骑的战马，而且罗多克士兵的骑兵并不厉害，他们主要负责侦察和传递消息。

法提斯毫不畏惧的走上前去，他将战马勒住停在了波尔查的身边。

“我说波尔查，给我介绍一下你身边的这几位朋友吧，而且这位带领的骑兵的萨兰德苏丹国的军官似乎也有些不友善！”

现在法提斯的表情极其严肃，虽然从心底上说法提斯是一个正直的领主，但是面对敌人的时候他也毫不留情。因此他的眼神锐利而又凶狠，他望向了拉克曼，从拉克曼身上所散发的气质来看的话，她明显的感觉到拉克曼也是一位强大的武士。

“我不知道啊，好老兄，我就只知道一点，我眼前的这个贼头贼脑的家伙，就是法尔维亚派到我们军队当中的间谍，而跟在他身后的那一队骑兵想必也是他的同伙了。那么我说老兄啊！剩下的事就交给你了。”

波尔查拍了拍他战马的马屁股，然后掉头离开，跟随着他的随从似乎也习惯了这样的场景，和波尔查一样，他们也调转马头赶紧离开。法提斯并不过多的追究，他们只是侦察部队，战斗力极其有限，因此他们在不在战场之上完没有关系。

“你说谁贼头贼脑的！”

很明显，戈泽特是不满意波尔查这样称呼他的，可是波尔查已经先行离开，就算他想要和波尔查吵一下，想必也是不可能的。

戈泽特恨的咬牙切齿，不过他看着敌人的援军已经来了，也准备打算离开，刚一回头就正好看见拉克曼弯弓搭箭，此时一支利箭直接飞过，刚好就射中了正准备离开的波尔查，这一支利箭不知道是有意的还是无意的，竟然仅仅只是划破了波尔查身上的衣服罢了，波尔查左臂的那一层衣服被割开了，但是他自己却毫发无伤。

好厉害的弓术！

法提斯在自己的心里赞叹一声，他看得出来，拉克曼弯弓搭箭只是想吓唬吓唬波尔查罢了，其实他只是想要叫波尔查站住罢了。

“那一个贼头贼脑的小子！你现在给我回来，否则的话我的骑兵会立刻追上你，不，或许根本就用不上的骑兵，我的弓箭就会取走你的性命。”

波尔查在那一霎那之间，也是感受到死亡的威胁，因此她极不情愿的转过头，他的随从们也停下了脚步。

波尔查一脸恐惧与震惊的看着身后的拉克曼，法提斯这个时候默不作声，对方部都是骑兵，而他所率领的只是刚刚从田地里征召过来的新兵，在这样敌强我弱的情况之下，法提斯到是想看一看这个拉克曼刚才的时候为什么不直接杀掉波尔查。

不过，他也知道自己如果不说话的话，就会让沃尔斯颜面尽失，自己家的人被人给羞辱了，而身边的人却没有还击，这难道就是耻辱吗？

“想必阁下是法尔维娅手下的大将！卡拉德王国的领主法提斯在此，现在我们的大军就在附近，不知道阁下到这里来要做些什么？”

Fatis deliberately emphasized that his army was nearby, just to make Rackman not act rashly. But Rackman simply disdained such intimidation. He completely ignored Fatis and said to Bolcha: "You! Come here now and compete with Gozert!"

Looking at the stunned crowd, Rackman showed a mysterious smile. "Obviously, I don't want to force you. We haven't officially started the war yet. If I bully the weak, it will damage my reputation. I can see that the troops led by Fatis are just new Rhodok soldiers recruited from the fields. I am General Rackman under Lady Falvia. I will not do such things to bully the weak. My cavalry can defeat those new soldiers under Fatis in an instant."
