Chapter 1427: The Will of the Lord

~7 min read 1,367 words

"Respected Excellency, we have important intelligence we wish to report to your general, we are not here to donate things."

The one in the white robe said calmly.

The Strategist looked at these three people, thinking to himself, forget it, the army is about to set out.

He still has things to do and cannot continue wasting time here.

"Fine, then speak," the Strategist said directly, showing a trace of impatience.

The one in the white robe looked at the surrounding Longyan Soldiers, unwilling to speak, and fell silent.

The Strategist looked at the three people in front of him, and more impatience rose in his heart; what is going on with these three people?

Giving them a chance, and now they won't speak.

The Strategist frowned and directly ordered them to be driven away: "If you don't want to speak, then leave. Guards, escort them away."

After speaking, the Strategist turned to leave.

The one in the white robe suddenly grabbed the Strategist's sleeve, and the Strategist turned his head to look at them.

His gaze became somewhat unkind, thinking to himself, what is wrong with these three people? Told them to leave, and they won't leave?

Told them to speak, and they won't speak.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The one in the white robe only then realized that their previous action was a bit too impulsive and hurriedly withdrew their hand.

Only then did they say: "It is not that we do not want to speak, it is that we must tell your general alone, so we implore you to report this to the general."

The Strategist glanced at the three of them, his gaze very unkind.

But he did not drive them away, instead saying: "Regardless of your purpose, it is impossible for you to see our general."

"Go back."

The one in the white robe, upon hearing this, hurriedly said: "We have important intelligence concerning the Protestants within Austria."

Hearing this, the Strategist was slightly stunned.

The number of Protestants in Austria is not large, but ever since Chief Councilor Liu Zheng declared to the world that they would aid the Protestants.

In various places across Europe, those Protestants suppressed by Catholicism have gradually become restless and risen up to resist Catholicism.

For a time, this caused no small amount of turmoil and chaos in many countries.

However, the most widespread and recognized faith in Europe is Catholicism.

In the end, being outnumbered, the Protestant uprisings were quickly suppressed.

However, the worsening situation of the war did give these Protestants some time to breathe.

Most of the Protestants went underground to accumulate strength.

Now that their Longyan army dares to penetrate deep into Europe, and does so even while cut off from supplies, it is because they want to rally these Protestants.

Why they are heading toward the former territory of Prussia.

It is because most people in Prussia believe in Protestantism; the Longyan army attacking under the banner of supporting Protestantism will definitely gain a large popular base in Prussia.

By then, their supplies and logistics will have the most basic guarantee.

So when the Strategist heard this news, his body was slightly stunned as he looked at the three people in front of him.

Although he could not be sure if this information was true or false, it was at least good news for their Longyan army.

The Strategist thought for a moment and said: "Alright, then I will take you to see our general."

The Strategist turned and looked at these three people again; in any case, Ling Chen has high martial arts skills, so there should be no problem bringing three people to see him in his military camp.

No, there is definitely no problem.

The Longyan army is about to set out and march, so most of the tents that have not been set up are being dismantled directly, ready to be transported away.

The tent where Ling Chen is located did not have time to be taken down because Ling Chen was still inside the military tent, looking at a map.

Although the army is setting out and the destination has already been determined.

But there is one problem: they do not understand the terrain of Austria.

And one

city they are heading to has mountainous terrain; this kind of terrain makes marching difficult, and many heavy supplies cannot be transported.

Ling Chen looked at the map, thinking if there was a possibility of going around from here, but looking at the mountains on the map, only the terrain was marked.

There was no detailed map of the mountain range, so there was no way to start; if one wanted to go around, one would have to take a very long detour.

This is not what Ling Chen wanted to see.

Ling Chen frowned, thinking to himself that he would go there to take a look before making a decision.

Just at this moment, a voice sounded outside the military tent.

"General, there are three Protestants looking for you, saying they have major intelligence to report to you."

Hearing this familiar voice, it is the Strategist; the army is about to set out, and his tasks should be the most burdensome.

At this time, how does he still have time to bring three Protestants to find me?

Ling Chen was somewhat puzzled, but it also highlighted the importance of these three Protestants.

"Come in."

Having received the answer, the Strategist brought the three Protestants in.

"They say they have important intelligence concerning the Protestants and insist on telling you."

Ling Chen was stunned, looked at the three Protestants before him, and asked: "What do the three of you have to tell me?"

The three people looked at each other, clearly not understanding what Ling Chen had said.

The Strategist reminded him: "They do not understand the Longyan Language."

Ling Chen slapped his forehead, almost forgetting, because recently in the military camp there are only Longyan people, and Ling Chen has recently become accustomed to using the Longyan Language.

Previously, when at the East India Company, Ling Chen still used European languages.

Ling Chen used the European language and repeated what he had said once more.

Only then did the three people understand Ling Chen's meaning.

The one in the white robe leading them took a look at Ling Chen and bowed slightly: "May the Lord bless you."

"We have come this time under the guidance of the Lord to show the Warrior the path ahead."

Ling Chen's mind automatically translated the words of this white-robed woman; the general meaning was that she had come to be a guide.

Ling Chen's face lit up with joy; things were truly coming just as he was thinking of them.

"May I ask if you know a lot about European Geography?" Ling Chen asked excitedly.

"Not much," the white-robed woman answered straightforwardly.

Ling Chen's face darkened.

The white-robed woman then spoke again: "We are only familiar with the Geography of Austria and Prussia; we have not been to other parts of Europe, as it is so vast."

Hearing this answer, Ling Chen's face, which had turned dark, regained its radiance.

She should have said so earlier; he was exactly looking for such map experts right now, and being familiar with the terrain of these two places was enough.

"I implore the three of you to stay and serve as our advisors."

Ling Chen did not believe in gods or Buddhas, and naturally did not believe in Protestantism, but he still learned the way of Protestantism, tapped his chest and forehead three times, and said: "I am willing to follow the Lord's arrangement."

The one in the white robe was very satisfied to hear Ling Chen express himself this way.

She walked forward, looked at Ling Chen, took off the hood covering her face, and revealed fair skin and golden hair.

When Ling Chen saw her appearance, he was momentarily dazed.

The one in the white robe smiled lightly, moving and enchanting.

"Since the General has already agreed to the Lord's arrangement, the Lord also spoke of another matter, and hopes the General can also follow the Lord's will."
