"Canya Pass?" Alfred subconsciously repeated, "a good place to be, but it's also the worst place to ambush... The barbarians were savage, but they were not fools, and they would have sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter the mountains on both sides before passing through the Kanya Pass. ”

"What if there's enough bait?" Ike smiled as he walked over to the fireplace and stirred the charcoal with his iron tongs, apparently the low temperature in the room was too low for him to stand it, and he needed a more vigorous flame.

"It's marching common sense, and no one is going to let a large force through a narrow mountain pass without reconnaissance. "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and at the speed of our march, even if we set off at once, we will be at most near the Le Bouck Forest before dark...

And with the speed of the barbarians' march, they had already reached the vicinity of the Kanya Pass, and if I were the general of the barbarian army, I would definitely camp at the foot of the Kanya... So, you're trying to set up an ambush circle at the Cannia Pass right under the noses of the barbarians?"

"Why not?" the temperature of the firefire made Ike's face turn bloodied, "I remember we had a watchtower near the Canya Pass, well—" his eyes flickered, and his breathing became quieter, "Use the Blood Eagle to notify all the soldiers of the front towers to assemble there, and... They need a sir!"

At this point, Ike's gaze had already fallen on Alfred, "You go, take your guards, hurry up, you should be able to reach the watchtower of Canya Pass in an hour." ”

"What do you need me to do?" asked Alfred cautiously, knowing that this was the best chance to prove his chances to the new chief.

"Using the watchtower as a framework, a small defensive fortress was built before the barbarians passed through the mountain pass. Ike suddenly laughed weirdly, "Let the barbarians understand our determination to defend the Canya Pass." ”

"Well," Alfred's eyelids twitched violently, "My lord, barbarians are not stupid, we're going to have a scuffle at Cannya Pass, you..."

"That's the best!" said Ike, "you just hold them back, and it's better to extend the battle into the second half of the night, and soon I'll be able to form a siege of the barbarians outside your battle circle." ”

The knight's face changed, "You're trying to use us as bait?"

"Nice attention, isn't it?" Ike stared into Alfred's eyes.

"Nice attention, indeed!" Alfred said to himself, but he was silent on the surface, he had to consider the feasibility and success rate of this matter...

Ike didn't mean to urge, and waited quietly by the wallfire.

After a few minutes, Alfred straightened up and said, "I'll leave now!" and with that, he walked towards the door, and halfway through, he turned to look at Ike again, "Sir, remember your promise. ”

"Swear in the name of my family!" Ike responded.

...

As soon as the Knight of Alfred walked out of the fortress headquarters, he led two of his guards to the watchtower at the Canya Pass.

This watchtower used to be a small checkpoint, the most important checkpoint on the front line of the Koren fortress, and in the event of a war with the barbarians, as long as 500 people were sent to defend it, it was completely possible to keep ten times as many enemies on the other side of the pass.

However, later wars between the Empire and the barbarians always ended in an overwhelming victory for the Empire, and the level was almost a decoration, and the royal family ordered the removal of the checkpoint in order to make it easier to mine the purple gold veins on the other side of the Canya Pass, but kept the watchtower.

When Alfred arrived at the Cannia watchtower, it was already half past four in the afternoon, and the troops who had been ordered from the nearby watchtower had already assembled here, numbering more than eight hundred. Moreover, several other troops are on their way, arriving in half an hour at the latest.

Pate, the improvised leader of the watchtower force and the leader of the Cannia watchtower patrol, told Jarfred that the forward troops of the Barbarian Vanguard had already appeared on the other side of the Cannia Pass, and that their scouts had even touched the area around the watchtower.

"Are we retreating now, sir?" Pate looked at the middle-aged man in knight's armor in front of him, the two of them joined the army at about the same time, and had worked together in the same brigade for nearly five years.

"Retreat?" Alfred shook his head, "We're going to fight off the barbarians here!"

Pate was stunned, he thought he must have misheard, "Sir, you just said to repel the barbarians here?"

"What's the problem?"

"There are only a thousand of us!"

"So, we're going to rebuild a level!"

...

Pate's brows furrowed, he looked at the soldiers who passed by him from time to time, lowered his voice and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Am I joking?" asked Alfret.

"The main force of the barbarians' vanguard will arrive in an hour at the latest, sir, do you think we have a chance to build a checkpoint to resist the attack of one of the barbarian legions in this hour?" Pate's originally frozen pale face suddenly turned red, and he looked very excited, "You want these more than a thousand soldiers to be buried for the so-called future in your mouth?"

Hearing this, Knight Alfred, as if stimulated, grabbed the buckle of Pate's leather ring armor shoulder, and roared in a deep voice: "Listen, you idiot, this is an order from the command..."

"It's best to get your people to get started now, as you just said, you only have an hour. "Alfred won't explain to Pate, let alone tell them about the battle plan.

Because, for ordinary soldiers, mere orders are more effective than too many explanations.

"Go and organize a squadron of 100 men to search along both sides of the mountain, and in this hour, I don't want the barbarian scouts to appear in front of my eyes!" Knight Alfred glanced at the two of Pate's henchmen who were slowly approaching nearby, and then released the buckle in his hand, "If you don't want to do it, then, I'll change someone immediately, I think, many people are happy to take this kind of opportunity!"

"Hmph!" Pat looked at Alfred coldly, "You have become almost unknown to me, why, now for the sake of your knighthood, even your own brother is going to be betrayed?"

"I've always been like this, Pate, I haven't changed!" Alfred stared into the other's eyes, "Besides, I'm with you now, do you think I'm going to betray you?"

"Haha!" Pate laughed twice, then bowed down and said humbly as his men approached, "You'll get a checkpoint soon!" and he immediately turned to wink at the soldiers who walked in, and then quickly left.
