"This..." Hejar also frowned. It is true that according to the general situation, Earl Twad should come back with their reconnaissance team to welcome the prince. Although you are the prince's uncle, you are not the royal family, but the rear family. The status is still very different. The other party not only did not come by himself, but did not even send anyone here. This is indeed not normal.

"But the Legion Commander did not stipulate that he had to come here in person. Maybe he was just preparing to welcome the work in the city." said a general next to him.

"Just leave this kind of thing to the people below to do," Ye Junwen said, "And what I want to say is that this matter reveals that this Earl of Twad has a certain degree of contempt for the prince."

"Yes." Hejar nodded, "But it's not certain that the other party has betrayed His Majesty. Maybe he just doesn't pay much attention to His Highness the Eighth Prince. Didn't he agree to receive us? Are you... going to ambush us while we are not prepared?"

"Ambushes should be impossible. The number of troops varies too much. Even if the ambush is successful, don't wait..." Ye Junwen said, suddenly he figured it out, "I probably understand what the situation is. It seems that things are not so bad."

"What?" Hejar asked.

"The Earl of Twad must have a connection with the rebels, or he is more optimistic about the rebels." Ye Junwen said, "And now the one who has the ability to pose a threat to our troops is the rebels we defeated just now. Earl of Twad knows this and should be ready to contact this rebels and inform them of their current situation."

"That is, they are going to attack us with the rebels?" Hejar asked.

"But it seems that Count Twad has not made the rebels' plan to work hard. His situation may be that he wants to join the rebels, but he does not want to defend the city and resist our troops for the rebels. This is too dangerous for him. So although he contacted the rebels now, he wants to let the rebels take action." Ye Junwen said, "If we really don't pay attention, it will be more dangerous for the rebels to be shot from behind. However... as long as the rebels know that we are still paying attention to the rear, according to the previous performance of General Conrad, he will not come back."

General Conrad should still understand military affairs, so according to Ye Junwen's analysis, if the other party finds that Ye Junwen and his troops do not pay attention to the rear, it is very likely that they will come back. When the rebels come back, if the Earl of Twad here is closed and attacked on both sides, they will be very dangerous. However, as long as they come carefully, the rebels should not dare to come up and fight again.

"As long as we send a large number of scouts to investigate everywhere in the rear, the enemy will not march again when they see this situation." Ye Junwen said.

Of course, Hejar would not object to this proposal. No matter what Count Twad's attitude was, it would be correct to be careful to prevent the rebels behind him from making a comeback. So soon they sent a large number of scouts to investigate everywhere in the rear of their army, and their troops were heading towards the city of Edmede.

If the General Conrad on the side also received this information at this time. It was similar to what Ye Junwen expected. After retreating for a while, General Conrad did not retreat anymore, but began to rectify the troops to see if there was any chance. At this moment, he also got contacted by an informant from Edmead City, saying that it was something that Earl Twad wanted to cooperate with them.

Unfortunately, when General Conrad sent someone to investigate, he found that there were a large number of reconnaissance troops behind the opponent's troops, which means that the opponent was still guarding against them. There was probably no chance. Just because of the troops he had just defeated just now, he could not defeat the imperial army with high morale.

"I am worthy of being a genius commander, but I am commanding without any leakage." General Conrad hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Tell me the order, continue to retreat to the west and return to the base camp."

"Sir, aren't we going to stick it up?" asked the deputy general next to him. "The enemy's food is scarce now. If Count Twad joins us and closes the city gate and does not allow them to supply, we will harass each other from behind, maybe we can drag down the other party."

"Can we believe this Earl of Twad?" Conrad asked.

"This..." Of course, the adjutant didn't know if he could believe it. He suddenly wrote a letter saying that he was interested in joining, who knew if it was true.

"What if it's the other party's plan?" Conrad said, "We don't have to be so careful when facing other people, but the person named Serina on the opposite side is not simple. Judging from the previous battle, this is a very good at calculating person. If you want to defeat him, this kind of side-minded trick will not work. Instead, you will fall into the other party's plan. Only by facing him from the front can you defeat him."

"So that's it." The adjutant nodded. Indeed, the letter from Count Twad might be one of the plans of the commander named Serina, which is to drag their troops here, wait until they post it, and ambush them immediately. Now it's better to retreat to the west base camp safely and repair it slightly.

So Conrad's troops retreated directly to the west, and after a while, Earl Twad also learned about the news.

"Damn it, this coward!" Earl Twad slapped the table so angry that he was really optimistic about the rebels and wanted to join the rebels at this time. However, what he didn't expect was that the other party's troops retreated. Fortunately, he didn't turn against Hejar, and knew that there might be something wrong with the rebels. If he could join, he would certainly not fight to the death with the Imperial Army. "Open the door and welcome the Imperial Army."

A crisis was resolved invisibly. Ye Junwen and the others just sent a few scouts to sway behind their own troops. When the troops of the First and Second Legion arrived at Edmead City, they had already seen Earl Twad and his men greeted the city gate, and of course the city gates were also wide open.

"Welcome to His Highness the Eighth Prince." Earl Twad also welcomed Ye Junwen and the others very enthusiastically.

When the troops entered the city, Hejar was relieved. After all, the recent situation was indeed quite dangerous, and now he can finally relax a little.

"I have ordered people to prepare food and supplies, and I also ask my troops to repair them here so that I can wipe out the abominable rebels in one fell swoop." Earl Twad said to Hedgell.

"Earl Twad is really loyal to His Majesty." Hegar said.

"Is that true?" Ye Junwen next to him suddenly interrupted, "My men told me that I seemed to have seen someone sending people from Edmead City to the rebels. I wonder if Earl Twad knew about this?"

"What?" Earl Twad felt panicked, but said immediately, "I don't know this. Do I have any rebel spies under my command? I will definitely go back and check it out immediately."

"Oh, that's it." Ye Junwen nodded, "I thought you, Earl Twad..."

"Earl Twad is the queen's younger brother, so he will definitely not betray the country." Hejar inserted and said, "The rebels are now in great power, so it is normal for a few spies to appear."

"Yes... this is my fault. If I haven't found out the situation of my subordinates, I will definitely check it out." Earl Twad said immediately.

After chatting for a while, the Earl of Twad left here. Ye Junwen looked at his back and said, "From this reaction, there is indeed a problem."

"I can see it too," said Hedgeal. "But there is no need for you to talk about this now. Can't we settle the score with him when our troops stabilize."

"In the current situation, this kind of time bomb must be cleaned up as soon as possible, otherwise something may happen at any time." Ye Junwen said, "At present, this Edmeade City is an important stronghold for us to deal with the rebels. If there are any internal problems, it will be very troublesome to the future plan."

"Well..." He Jiaer felt that what Ye Junwen said made some sense, "But we have no evidence at the moment, so we can't arrest him casually."

"No problem, let me do this." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said.

"Uh... OK." He Jiaer thought about it. Ye Junwen still felt relieved. At least there was no problem at the moment, but I don't know why I always felt a bit bad when I saw Ye Junwen's expression this time.

In short, no matter what, the troops of the First and Second Legion were stationed in Edmead City. At present, the situation in Edmead City is relatively stable. There is a lot of food in the city. Although it is a large army of more than 100,000, it is enough to eat for a month. In the current situation, they not only need to prepare the troops, but the most important thing is to inquire about the situation of the rebels and the main city, so they will temporarily repair it here during this period.

Because Ye Junwen is much more convenient for doing things in the city, he also asked someone to find a way to contact Skam to let the other party know that he was already in the city and asked the other party to come to him quickly.

It is not a troublesome to contact Skam, and Skam is indeed paying attention to Ye Junwen's situation, but he couldn't find where Ye Junwen was before. However, now that he has received the message, of course, he came to Edmeade City as soon as possible, and soon came to Ye Junwen. At this time, Ye Junwen had just held a military meeting and summoned him when he heard the news.
