When afternoon arrived, all the routed soldiers finally gathered and after a headcount, their numbers reached 1500 Initially, Shaar wanted to incorporate thesebattle, but h some of the distance to escape so they were exhausted Moreover, after seeing their brothers and superiors getting slaughtered by the Odins, they lost all their fighting spirits Terror ritten all over their faces and they would be paralyzed if they enter another battle with their current morale battle
Shaar believed that he didn’t have the skills to i spirits of these ends, who radiated the aura of the kings when giving a speech Transfor with fighting spirit – this kind of tales only existed in the legends and it was fundamentally ianized them into the rear service under supervision of Kato, while reassigning two hundred soldiers froistic battalion to the front
However, one bad news after another started arriving that afternoon!
Shaar divided two hundred cavalrys in six different directions When the six teams came back at the noon, two of them retreated a bit too late when they ran into a small Odin force After a fierce battle, they were able to retreat but they lost half of their troops during the battle
The teams that search the six directions, every one of the their journey!
In other words, they were surrounded by Odins!
“It is very obvious that these Odins wants to cut us off fro outside” Full of troubles, Shaar scratched his head: “It is most likely the General who is at the frontline still doesn’t know about the misfortune at the rear! No, perhaps they know, but they also ran into so, I am afraid……that the Odins probably marched behind us and already occupied Priarrison troops in Primal Wildfire Town and once the Odins occupies it, they could treat is as a stronghold This way they can block our road towards south and at the sa north”
Thinking about their predicaarrison officer Slate, Sarbar, Kato and three other rankingtent
Shaar took down thevery good at the y this time was to position three armies at the north of Primal Wildfire to resist the Odin’s invasion of the Prii to the current inforot annihilated, Hasting already arrived at our back and if they occupied the Primal Wildfire Town……No, it is not an if anymore! They have certainly occupied Primal Wildfire Town! As the matter stands now, even if the support troops at the south are able come to our aid, they will be unable to cross Prio north – Further who ordered so many small units around us to patrol around because he wants to cut off our ers Perhaps once the southern support army receives the news fro tent, only Slate as a battalion officer who had a bit fighting and aruy Hasting has a big appetite! He defeated the 2nd and 9th Armies and now positioned himself at our rear He plans to keep us the 13th and 6th Ar to destroy four Byzantine Arreedy!”
Both Kato and Sarbar were Praetorian Guards and didn’t lead their own soldiers before They couldn’t join the conversation and could only listen to it, before Sarbar shouted with a voice full of anxiety: “We need to soeneral in the north! Let ……Let h towards north!”
Shaar looked at him then replied in a serious tone: “Not possible! It is not that I don’t want to contact the general, but we don’t have thewe can think of, don’t you think that Odin’s uess, no matter if it’s towards south or north, they already planted a net made fro to risk your life to try, I am afraid that it will be vain and waste the little cavalry we have”
Kato was smarter and he also had some confidence in Shaar: “What do you think?”
“We stay!”Shaar sighed: “We mostly consist of infantry and if we leave the fortification of the cah the north or flee to the south, it will be a dead end! We are too few in nuistics battalion Moreover, we have s, how fast can we run? Hasting can outflank us and most of his soldiers are probably cavalry Even if we just encounter the caribou riders in the wilderness, 800 of theh to annihilate us! Further has prepared so us and only waiting for us to leave our ca on the fortification, we have a sli for a moment, Shaar took a deep breath and his eyes were full of deter in a serious tone: “My brothers, I don’t fear death! I also know that my brothers of our 13th Arht noe have a more important duty to complete compare to death!”
“What duty?”
Shaar forcefully squeezed his chin and clenched his teeth while saying:”Defend this cahold!!”
He then explained: “With our th which is mostly eneral Even if our troops die in battle, it won’t have any value According to eneral in the north discover the situation and notice that he is getting flanked fro and the Odin ar through!
If we lose this foothold and the general slaughter through the blockade with the e, where will they find shelter? With no stronghold to rest, they will be without supplies and surrounded by the enemy in the wild In just a few days, enemy can to starve them or squeeze them to death! At that time, not even the Gods can save them from that desperate situation!
The road towards south is already blocked by the Odins who occupied Prieneral to break through their way back There are large amounts of army rations and weapon supplies here, and everyone can make use of the aid station to fortify our defenses and defend while ait for reinforcements from the south… This is the only way out! Not just for us, but also for our general in the north!”
Shaar’s words immediately affected the people ere present Everyone in this tent was only low-level officers and no one had thought that a Praetorian guard would have so ht
“The third reason ……” Shaar lowered his voice a bit and said: “Hasting will try to conquer this caer we defend here; we can attract ! This e can alleviate soeneral at the north and help hih……”
“This is probably the situation! If we defend here, then the 13th Army has a slim chance of survival! If we lose here……Will we force the cavalry of 13th Arainst the city wall of Priarrison officer added these words full of vigour
All the htest fear and roared excitedly again and again, started to gearing up for battle Just when Kato as about to leave last, he suddenly stopped and asked Shaar in a low voice: “Hey, are you sure the general will slaughter his way through to co! Are you certain that we don’t need to go and aid hi: “First, our th is too sth to aid theeneral! The power of 13th Arht? Even a rookie like me has confidence in the?”
Pausing for aon a soeneral still has theRuhr at his side! He is Byzantine Empire’s sliest rabbit”

Tension and hectic activities were spreading through the ca distributed; even the cart drivers of the logistics battalion and craftsuy unexpectedly pulled out several good things froons were e bolts had a terrifying pierced power and the ballistas were placed on a theeled carts With one load, it could launch a dozen of bolts When Shaar tried its power, their shooting range was about 800 meters wide and within 100 meters; the bolt could even penetrate a two layered shi+eld Once ten bolts were fired, the coverage was quite big When facing against the enee, this weapon could definitely become the trump card on the battlefield!
(enwikipediaorg/wiki/Polybolos)
The only flaas that this ballistas didn’t have many bolt reserves and once they shot the to the firing range and the infantry charge speed, they could be fired just 3 ti find was a se It could throw a stone over a thousandstone was difficult Shaarstones and Kato also prepared some jars filled with oil Nonetheless, this type of weapon didn’t have an accurate aie of the attack……If one wanted a precise attack, one could only rely on luck
That hy in the Byzantine arrateful artillery
There were four of these trebuchets since the 13th Army was a cavalry unit and they didn’t prepared this kind of heavy siege weapon
Shaar’s pre of the second day, the Odin’s assault army arrived! As he suspected, it was very obvious that in order to prevent the 13th Ar wanted to conquer this camps as fast as possible He wanted to block the 13th Ar arrived, the soldiers on observation post sent out a nervous shouts and Shaar immediately rushed to the platform and looked in the distance towards north……
There was dust all over the sky was the only thing he could see!!!

A densethe hills and theover the horizon The front roere filled with one Odin soldier after another andon their upper bodies – being born in northern Empire Odin, they were all used to the snow and cold weather They didn’t feared the little cold winter wind in this place
With their war axes in their hands, those Odins howled in the cold air while spouting hot air in forthe dense crowd in front of him, Shaar’s heart started to beat like crazy The Odin’s Army seemed boundless as his eyes couldn’t see the end of it This dense crowd really le!
