Chapter 58 (1/2)

While the Imperial Capital was shrouded in a mix of e the war Rody returned to the Tulip Family's home and was unable to sleep The situation in the Northhere a fierce battle was ongoing, changed yet again

Soe of the ion, the light of the night had already been shrouded as the moon was hidden by the clouds The moon only showed half of its face occasionally Under the skies without stars, the ar to march on a mountain path

The soldiers wore the armor of the Radiant E their tired legs, following the person in front with their heads down The flag bearer on horseback was also in low spirits He could normally lift the banner with the thorny flower but now he only led to make sure that he did not fall down

The soldiers and the officers were all glooinally under the coion and were stationed at the Blackstone Fortress However, two days ago they received an order froive up Blackstone Fortress and to fortify Watt Fortress of the Northwest Legion at all cost

At that moment, the whole army was surrounded by a pessiradually losing ground General Reuben's main force of 150,000 was completely defeated by the devil, Reuenthal of the Great Moon Kingdom and his armored cavalry

After losing most of the territories on the Northwest Rostock Province, including the headquarters, Redwood Fortress, General Reuben led the Northwest Legion to stand fast at the last major fortress, Watt Fortress

They heard a lot of news during the past two days They heard that Reuenthal raided the strongholds around Watt Fortress for two days and two nights and captured those positions Even the Loulan Fortress and Trier Fortress were captured in one night

The coroup together with theAs they were already at a disadvantage, it was better for theather their forces for a confrontation co out only to be defeated one by one

However, when the commander of the Blackstone Fortress received an order froave a wry smile He was ordered to immediately deploy his 15,000 soldiers in the Blackstone Fortress and to gather theave hiht to do so

What the hell!

The commander of the Blackstone Fortress turned around to look at the long line of soldiers behind him and cursed in his heart

How are we supposed to get there within two days? It is more than 600 miles away! We are not horsemen! We are just infantries! How are we supposed to travel 600 miles within 2 days on foot? What a joke! We also have the supplies to bring along It's not like these things can fly!

The cos of the Gods His ar for the entire day without rest

Even if the soldiers could reach their destination, they would not be in any condition to fight The soldiers were already too tired to even walk… If… If we encounter an eneht nowthen

As he thought about this, he also thought about the news he received two days ago

It was said that two other garrisons also received the order to regroup and were on the way to join the main force However, they were intercepted by the cavalry of the foreign barbarians and were almost completely annihilated

There is no choice but to beg the Gods for blessings!

He looked at the surrounding terrain Fortunately, it was not an open area like the plains The size of the hills around them made the path narrow Even if they were to encounter their enemy, the opponent's cavalry would not be able to attack properly

At that moment, several scout horsemen came back from afar The commander was immediately alert and asked, ”How is it?”

One of the scout horseed to keep his cal the end of the hill path We will be out of this hill in about half an hour! After crossing this hill, ill be in an open field There are no signs of the eneht In front of us is an open field and beside the field is a small forest”

The commander carefully listened to the report of the scout withouta word and was silent for a while

It see in the forest will not be a big proble a fire attack… Sigh, I really hope ill not dom will probably not attack if it rains Moreover, the e

”Order the army to speed up We will leave this hill and pitch camp!” He loudly issued the order

The soldiers who received the order were already very tired However, when they heard that they could pitch camp and rest soon, they increased their pace

When the soldiers crossed the hill and saw the flat plains in front of the cheer, ”We can finally rest!”

After the order to pitch the ca that disappointed the soldiers was that the forest the scout s and could not be chopped down to use as materials to build the camp In desperation, they used the simple lumber from their supplies to form a frail wall

However, the warriors felt thankful as the enedom also did not appear Probably with that kind of weather, the enemy would also feel exhausted Everyone believed that they could at least safely survive the first night

A veteran soldier taught the restless amateur soldiers not to panic If the enemy made a surprise attack, the scout horsemen would warn them first If they wanted to escape, it would not be too late to run after they hear the sounds of the enemy's drums and horns

The whole ca tents or preparing a htning struck It immediately started to rain heavily

The soldiers all gave a sigh of relief as it finally rained Since it rained, the enemy cavalry would not appear!

When the sky grew dark, an amateur soldier was up and totally soaked in the rain He was trying to use a haed by the wind Suddenly, he sensed so and raised his head to look at the open space, feeling alarmed There seemed to be a black shadow in the distance

”What is that!”
