Chapter 77 (1/2)

In the grassland, there were no e and empty space Such a special area was the best location for pastures As such, even the worassland This inherently favorable condition was considered the source of strength of the Great Moon Kingdom's cavalry

Unfortunately, the location also had a fatal flaw

The grassland had no mountains which meant that there were no metallic materials in the area They also had little ludo, they could not be fully equipped Reuenthal was a rare and capable man who had traveled around the continent and studied military tactics to make their cavalry more powerful Despite that, their equipment was unfortunately still behind the times

Without sufficient iron, they were unable to equip a heavy cavalry Without sufficient stones and wood, they were unable to build city walls and towns As a result, the Great Moon Kingdorasslands Their whole nation was porous and accessible everywhere and was completely undefended

Rody's strategy was really simple That day, Coh the front gate along with his re 10,000 soldiers After that, Rody took 10,000 of his owncavalryate The 20,000 cavalryroups They used small paths to avoid the fortresses which had been captured by Reuenthal such as the Loulan Fortress and the Trier Fortress

The Central Cavalry was naturally led by Rody while the 10,000 Northwest Legion cavalrymen were led by one of their commanders, Giesslunt The two arht for the Great Moon Kingdo When they encountered an enemy, the enemy was completely routed There were no survivors

Reuenthal ht have dispatched a lot of mounted scouts to Watt Fortress but it did not work out as planned While the fortifications for the fortress were still being constructed, Reuben in accordance with Rody's orders had dispatched Gordon and his men to attack in small squads That act had diverted Reuenthal's attention When scouts were reported one too close to the fortress and were killed by the defenders

Taking this opportunity, the Eht for the Great Moon Kingdoon Plateau!

The foreigners of the grasslands were generally nomads They lived as tribes of different sizes and were scattered all over the place However, after the founding of the Great Moon Kingdom, the tribes unified and listened to the orders of those at the Dragon Plateau

Rody also exter h the people of the grasslands were brave, those left behind were either old and weak or woainst the Radiant Empire's fully equipped cavalry? Rody did not kill the helpless His attack was only to confuse Reuenthal He wanted to wreak havoc in the heart of the Great Moon Kingdodom's armed forces were naturally eliminated when spotted But the old, the weak, the women and the children were spared Rody also ordered to leave behind a small amount of provision for theoats, or cattle were all gathered and burned This was a stratageht by Andy

The Great Moon Kingdoe to form an army of 200,000 cavalrymen However, their total population was less than a million Most of their cavalrymen usually just pastured their herds on nor, they could easily beco But their econo they did, their only riches were the livestock, cattle, and horses Destroying all those was a big blow to the Great Moon Kingdom

According to Andy, if Rody really wanted to be cruel, he should have ardless if they were old, wodo thedo that the woenerations It was the best strategy if a person wanted the Radiant Edoe row into an adult By that tier be able to be restored

This ruthless stratage Abbas the Great's reign The grassland foreigners suffered huge losses and could not recover for decades

However, Rody was young and would absolutely not use such a cruel h he did not kill all the tribesmen, he ordered to kill all their herds and horses The soldiers drove the animals into the stockades and burned them all Without their herds and horses, the tribes would only collapse Since the Great Moon Kingdo one tribe would also th

So within a few days, the two cavalries swept away rasslands

As for the Dragon Plateau, Rody knew that it was best not to attack that place even if he had the chance Although most of the enemies were away, the main base would still have tens of thousands of enemies To attack an enemy several times their size would only happen if they had lost their minds

As long as he continued to attack for a few more days, Reuenthal would likely retreat

After non-stop running for three days other than the occasional rest needed by the horses, the soldiers could no longer sit properly on their saddles Although the 'Lightning God's Whip' were tired, they orous training However, after two days, it felt like there were people pursuing them This unnerved Rody In that kind of location, the enemy could easily catch up in a day In the wilderness, it would be hard to defend theh the Central Cavalry were elites, after several days of fighting, they would have a higher possibility of losing

Besides, their pursuers see closer and closer with each passing day It was also difficult to hide their tracks in the wide grasslands If the ene completely routed

The past few days had progressed s chased by the pursuers ran in a circle in the grasslands He looked at the sky and then he ordered the army to divide into three teams with 3,000 in each team They then split up and ran towards the borders

The pursuers were caught by surprise when Rody split his army into three The pursuers were actually cavalries sent out by the Dragon Plateau The commander of the cavalry was not flexible with his tactics and panicked for a bit He did not dare divide his troops so he took a chance and randomly picked one of the directions to continue the pursuit

Rody led 3,000 of his army and ran for about half a day He then noticed that he was still being chased Without panicking, he further divided his arain, the three teams ran in three different directions

The codom was frustrated and he cursed the people of the Eain randomly picked a direction to pursue

After chasing for another half a day, the sky turned dark A soldier reported to hiain divided his army into 10 teams and ran in 10 different directions The codom was stunned and his mind went blank

He was one of the Great Moon Kingdoenerals Unfortunately, bravery was not going to save hi confused He was at a lost, so he could only randomly choose one of the directions to pursue

After dividing his army several times more, Rody was left with 100 soldiers These were all his elite bodyguards However, his luck was not so good His pursuers see up several tiroup Rody could not help but sigh

Splitting up after the raid was a tactic he had decided to use The first purpose was to confuse his pursuers Without knowing how many soldiers Rody had, the pursuers would not dare divide their forces to pursue After Rody's army split up a few times, the pursuers were eventually aware of the size of his army However, by that time it was too late After the army was split up into several s as they could escape the grasslands, they could regroup at Watt Fortress Relying on the strengths of the cavalry, it was the best way to withdraw Finally, it would also ht

It was by luck that Rody's group was still being chased The horses were also starting to slon Although the horses were being pro for a few days The horses did rest occasionally but they were still getting weaker as time passed by Rody looked around and saw that histheir horses to run faster but like him, their speed had dropped

Suddenly, there was a cry of alarh and collapsed Rody skillfully jumped off the horse but he still tumbled

His bodyguards immediately reined in their horses nearby and jumped off their horses

Rody saw that his horse was frothing and was no longer able to stand He could not help but sigh He had never expected his horse, which looked more majestic than the others to be the first to die

The captain of the bodyguards said, ”Your Excellency, please get on uards, his horse seemed to be the healthiest

Rody frowned and looked back He could faintly see the enemy horses in the horizon
