Chapter 884 (1/2)
”How's the situation in the west?”
As soon as Nail and Uncle Sang entered the central tent, ”Eagle Face”, the coion, inquired about the state of the war
”They're still increasing” The veteran ads of his observation over the past week ”I was indeed surprised I never thought there'd be such a great force in the Kingdom of Dawn”
”How le Face poured two cups of tea for the completely unperturbed ”8,000? 9,000?”
”I' drained the cup ”There's a nearly onewith more than 20 banners whose names I can't tell I have no idea where they've found soto cast their lives away”
”Over 10,000?” Eagle Face stopped his writing
”Ask the unit leader if you don't believe et an estimate of their number, ent very close to the old Holy City under the risk of being discovered The entire suburb is filled with troops codom of Dawn They've blocked the path that connects Herees have retreated toward the Kingdodom of Everwinter I bet they've also deployed forces at Coldwind Ridge as well At least, I've seen several detachments of more than 100 people on the way back”
”That's true,” Nail added with a nod ”On the part of the Kingdo for the rest of their troops to get there whilst enhancing their defense of the surrounding areas I suggest that our scout teaet too close to the old Holy City in the future, lest they're discovered by their patrolling knights”
Ever since they had noticed the unusual situation in Herion had started to slowly proceed to the plateau area with the assistance of Duke Kant, not only to gatherbattle However, His Majesty did not approve Eagle Face's probing and attacking plan, only asking him to instead stay alert and continue to scout With reat war, the deputy battalion coarrison, instructing theees to monitor both the new and the old Holy Cities in a rotation In the ress of the investigation
Nevertheless, Eagle Face had still made a few accomplishments over the past few months After he had confirmed that the deployarrison in the Northern Region had retrieved Coldwind Ridge
As for the ardoo
”Sir, do you fear that those people will impede His Majesty's plan?”
”Hahaha, how is it possible?” Eagle Face burst into laughter ”Even if their nuets Even the God's Punishment Army failed to break the defensive line under the bouns How can they possibly approach His Majesty? I'm actually happy to see they have tons of people Let them attack the city wall of the Holy City first so that they'll kno fortified the church is I really hope that the fight would bleed off strength froree to le Face paused for a few seconds and then said, ”Good job, scouts You can take a rest now”
”Yes, sir” Uncle Sang saluted
Nail, however, did not leave immediately After a moment of hesitation, he asked, ”Can't we beat them off now?”
Both Eagle Face and Uncle Sang were stunned ”What?”
”His Majesty doesn't allow us to attack Herainst the ardom of Dawn ” Nail bit his lip ”If ait until they launch an attack on the Holy City, the villages at the foot of Mountain Herround”
The veteran sighed
”Did you see sole Face frowned
”Pillage and massacre” Nail clapped his hand over his forehead, reluctant to revisit the intense and inhumane scene ”They didn't enter the old Holy City but simply encamped outside Soldiers have mounted nearby residents on sharpened wooden stakes and used them as the parapet of the battalion They treat women even worse”
”Enough” Eagle Face interrupted hidom of Dawn are His Majesty's enemies It's better for the ene it for theet we're soldiers, the swords of His Majesty! It's our duty to kill”
