Chapter 189 - The Battle on Volk Plain!!! (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the Volk Plain, a light cavalry army was advancing rapidly. The distance between their troops was very large, and they seemed to be chasing after something.
“Faster! They must be nearby, we must not let them escape this time!”
The leading general said to the soldiers behind him.
However, the adjutant beside him had a difficult expression on his face.
“General, we’ve been chasing them for three days and three nights. Even if we aren’t tired, the horses are already tired..
“Let’s… return to the city.”
When he said the last sentence, he had already lowered his head, not daring to look at the general anymore.
He was very clear about the general’s temper. Saying such words would definitely anger him.
Sure enough, the general turned to look at the adjutant. His eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and said,
“These bandits have been robbing our people all this time.
“Shouldn’t we, as soldiers, be responsible for them?!
“If we go back just like this, how are we going to answer everyone?!”
When he said this, he almost ground his teeth to pieces.
The adjutant did not answer immediately.
Of course, he also hated the Bandit Alliance. However, if they continued to chase, their mounts might die of exhaustion.
At that time, those cruel and cunning bandits would definitely think of a way to attack them.
The outcome of this army would definitely be a dead end.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said to the general,
“All I know is that if we continue chasing them like this, the horses will definitely die of exhaustion, and we will have to fight on foot. Those bandits will hide and rest while fighting with us in a circuitous way. We may still have a lot of energy left now.
“When that time comes, all the soldiers will die!
“You need to be responsible for the people. Don’t you need to be responsible for the lives of the soldiers?!”
The general was not willing to be outdone.
“The duty of a soldier is to sacrifice his life for the country and the people!”
He said this not because he was indifferent to the lives of the soldiers.
If it was necessary, he was willing to sacrifice his life.
This time, Collier Village was robbed by the bandit alliance. Not only were they robbed of all their money and resources, they even killed all the innocent villagers in the village.
When they arrived at the scene, there were only corpses and dilapidated houses left in the village.
A harmonious village became a living hell overnight.
This made the general completely lose his mind.
If he did not catch these bandits this time, he definitely would not go back.
The adjutant understood his feelings and also understood that soldiers should not be afraid of death.
However, in the current situation, if they continued to chase after them, their sacrifices would be in vain.
He looked at the general as he was about his exhortation, but in the next second, he lost his stability and suddenly fell forward.
It was not just the adjutant, it was the same for everyone in the army. They all fell forward and flew out.
The general fell to the ground, and for a moment, his mind was in a daze.
When he turned around and saw the horses and the ropes on the ground, he realized that they had been ambushed!
“Hahahaha, they fell for the trap. Brothers, kill!”
Not far away, a bearded bandit on a horse raised the steel knife in his hand and shouted.
All of a sudden, there were sounds of shouting and killing coming from all directions.
Countless bandits suddenly jumped up from the bushes and surrounded them with ferocious smiles.
At this moment, the soldiers stood up one after another and picked up their weapons, ready to face the enemy.
However, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar.
The sound of horse hooves was very light, completely different from the heavy sound of horse hooves of a regular cavalry unit.
The soldiers with rich combat experience could immediately tell.
They were the light cavalry of the Bandit Alliance!
