Just as Huo Ce spoke, the marching column beside him suddenly came to a halt.
Frowning in annoyance, he said, "Damn it, what's the problem now?"
A courier hurried over on horseback from the front, loudly reporting, "General, French Army has been spotted on the south bank of the Aile River. Our engineering camp has been attacked."
"French people?" Huo Ce exclaimed in shock, "How could there be French people here?"
"Well... the engineering camp says the enemy might be over ten thousand strong."
Huo Ce was somewhat bewildered.
When he left Zurich, he hadn't heard of France deploying troops to Switzerland, yet in less than five days, the French Army appeared in the heartlands of Switzerland?!
France and Switzerland are separated by the Jura Mountain; to circumvent the south side of the mountain to reach Lausanne at Switzerland's southern tip, then head north near Bill, the entire journey would take at least half a month.
