When Sonia and the others were captured, the day's fighting came to an end. Despite the loss of their commander, the disciplined and well-armed Lamor Legion was not something that the Freemasons could wipe out. The Masonic army, which had blocked Griffith's phalanx, fled into the positions of their main forces after the rout.

With Xiahou Yuan withdrawing, the two armies, which had lost interest in continuing the battle, gradually separated from the chaotic battle and returned to their respective camps.

Xiao Yan returned to Lamour's phalanx and watched hundreds of elite cavalry cross the two armies under the command of a general. The momentum of a hundred horsemen is as insurmountable as the Great Wall. Their commander rode his horse and armed with a gun, and was fearless in the face of an enemy dozens of times larger.

"Looking at the momentum of this horseman, it must be Zhang He or Zhang Liao, a famous general under Cao Cao, right?" Galadia tried to probe the adversary's attributes, but found nothing, "Like the contractor, we can't see his attributes. ”

"I can't imagine being able to fight these legendary heroes, and I have some unreal feelings." Xiao Yance stepped forward immediately, "Their origin and purpose are also a mystery. ”

"Would you like to say hello?" There was an eager look on the girl's face, "We grew up watching their stories!" ”

"Hmm...... Forget it, don't be careless! Xiao Yan was also moved, "If it's Zhang Liao, let him launch a skill or star life or something, he can beat us 100,000!" Be careful! ”

……

After returning to Green Valley, Sonia received two letters from Prince Commodus before she could host a feast for her life-saver. As a lifesaver and ally, she invited Xia Boyang to review the letter with everyone.

These letters have been sent a long time ago, but due to the interruption of transportation due to the war, they have not been delivered to her until today.

"The fourth letter from Prince Commodus.

daughter of the Count of Lamour,

An army of demons joins the undead and the Freemasons side. We attacked their coalition forces just before dawn. Ominous clouds began to gather over our heads, as if a devil were hovering in the heavens. But my army is undaunted, looking forward to destroying all filthy demons.

During these days, the armies of the undead and Freemasons never stopped retreating, except for brief breaks, and I was sure that someone was in command of them. We chased for many days, but the distance was getting farther and farther. Many of the soldiers suffered from heat stroke and even dehydration due to the rapid march and the scorching summer days, and I had to send them back to Storm's End.

On the fifth day we reached the barren land of the Valley of Bliss, and if the enemy did not change their escape route, we could drive them into the river. I sent my cavalry back to the flanks of the undead armies and forced them to retreat in the direction I hoped.

Once again, my judgment was justified. The cavalry surrounded most of the enemy, and then I led the infantry to arrive and concentrate on those who tried to pass through the path, and those who were left behind and leaderless. Soon, we dealt with them without any casualties.

The remaining enemies fled north in a rain of arrows and curses. I didn't give the order to pursue, first, because there were not many poor people, and second, it was really difficult to pursue. So I announced that the mission was accomplished, and I prepared to hold a celebration banquet in the evening.

But our celebration was too early, and as night fell, my scouts returned to report on the enemy's movements—thousands of demons we had never seen before emerged from the wasteland and were approaching us. I was forced to give the order to retreat, and the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed in an instant.

I was resting in the woods. The enemy behind us is faster and does not get tired easily. My scouts and sentinels reported that the demons were in pursuit. I fear that there is a traitor in my ranks, who is revealing to the demons every step of our move.

Count daughter, please contact the noble lords of the Odessa region and the royal capital as soon as possible, and ask them to immediately organize a force of at least twenty-five thousand men to prepare for the attack on the demons. You should also go to the Dwarven King Lorraine and tell him about the situation. He'll help—this incident is a threat to me and his kingdom. Moreover, he owes me a favor that I once supported in the naval battle against the orc pirates.

At the same time, we will continue to retreat to the northeast and prepare to build a defensive line at Storm's End. I have asked Doolittle to send my fastest messenger so that you can receive it soon and start moving. I look forward to your rescue.

Thou faithful,

Commodus"

Sure enough...... Prince Commodus, you set up a big g before! Sure enough, there was an ambush! Xiao Yan shook his head speechlessly.

"The fifth letter from Prince Commodus.

August 23, 1072

Earl's daughter,

We noticed a large group of demons approaching and began to build sieges. The Masonic army that had been harassing us was gone. I'm afraid I won't be able to write to you until the reinforcements you've organized arrive.

Thankfully, we made it to Storm's End in time. This riverside fortress is a remnant of the orc wars, barely usable after our emergency construction. We are very short of military supplies, and our limited rations are only enough for about two weeks - so we have to wait for supplies from you or the Odessa authorities. I've got some reinforcements, and while they're barely enough to hold on, they should be able to make it up until reinforcements arrive. You and your grown-in-laws must not fall into an ambush by a cunning enemy because you are in a hurry.

We explored the castle carefully, uncovered a lot of untold information and secrets, and we might even find a tunnel to the river. As long as I get through the walls, the traps, the pits, and the secret passages will be at my disposal. I hoped so, but I prepared for the worst.

The situation we are facing is very bizarre. The demonic army that has raided us has appeared as if out of thin air. There was no information in the entire Odessa region that showed the existence of such a well-organized army, and even many demon species were unheard of by us.

My advisor mage Doolittle played a huge role, and he succeeded in uncovering many vital secrets. The undead and demons don't seem to be very good at attacking castles, so our perseverance will also give Doolittle some time to get to the root of the demons.

I suspect that there are traitors on my side, otherwise the ambush of the demon army against us would not have been so successful. The traitor must have been between us, even discussing with me the daily march.

This traitor kept me up at night if I had had a comfortable sleep during that time. What benefit did he have to gain from this rebellion? The high-ranking rank of the demon army? I don't believe it. Or is it wealth? I even doubt that the demons have money to give him. If this demon really exists, I must find him out and hang it openly. The thought that a traitor might be right next to me makes me irritable. Traitors are the most hateful enemies, and even savage orcs would agree with this statement.

Needless to say, I'm sure he'll soon be exposed. I must now make the final preparations for the siege.

Pray for us,

Commodus"
