Chapter 31: Retreat and Pursuit

It was another morning, and Lin Ze hadn't slept enough from bed when he was woken up by the sound of horses' hooves.

"A lot of horses....... turned over, Lin Ze muttered to himself and wanted to continue sleeping, and then his eyes opened suddenly.

"How many horses?" While I was in doubt, I quickly put it on.

There are horses in the barracks, but there are only a dozen or twenty horses, which are reserved for soldiers to send urgent information to the main city, but Lin Ze heard the sound of horses' hooves today that this is more than that.

"Noxus raid?" Lin Ze thought so and shook his head again.

If it was really a surprise attack, he would probably have cooled down early, who had made such a big surprise attack, and there were scouts planted outside, and if there was a situation on the Noxus side, Galen would receive it as soon as possible.

"Then there's only one possibility." By this time, Lin Ze had already dressed, and so did everyone else in the tent.

When a few people came to the outside of the tent, they found that there were already many soldiers, and the most conspicuous of them were the hundreds of cavalrymen in the center of the barracks, and the soldiers gathered there to point and point.

Most of them have golden eyes and are extremely envious.

"Cavalry." Pansy was the same, and she almost pounced on her expression.

"What's wrong with the cavalry?" Lin was puzzled. I couldn't help but ask.

"Cavalry is a man's romance, don't you think it's a handsome thing to sit on a heavily armored horse and gallop, break through the enemy's formation, and kill all sides?" Pansy had an excited look on her face as she simulated the scene.

This made Lin Ze even more speechless.

"Mecha is a man's romance." Muttering, Lin Ze turned his gaze to that side again.

"What's that?" But they didn't want to, but the other four people heard this, and they asked in unison.

"It's nothing .......," Lin smiled awkwardly.

Here it is said that the mecha is afraid that it will not be able to find a soulmate, Lin Ze sighed slightly, and walked into those cavalry.

Not to mention, it's really handsome.

The wiped armor even glowed white, and not only the soldiers, but also the horses they sat on were wearing very heavy armor.

"Is this reinforcement?" Lin asked.

"It should be." Lauren nodded.

"It's skinny." Lin Ze didn't know what to say, how good it would be to come early, if he came early, it was estimated that this battle would be over at the beginning.

After such a long time, Lin Ze also found that this was not the main military camp, and there were too many things missing, and it was estimated that all the materials were taken to more important things.

He hadn't seen any archers or heavily-armored soldiers, but on this plain there was no advantage for archers.

Galen was already standing there, as if he was taking the report, nodding his head and scrutinizing it with a pamphlet in his hand.

"My lord, all 500 cavalry reinforcements have arrived!" A cavalryman half-knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Need a break?" Galen asked.

"No, you don't! We're ready to charge at any time! The cavalry shouted again.

"Okay." Galen closed the booklet, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Saibato who was standing on the side and said, "Go, blow the snail, we will strangle this Noxus today." ”

Galen was about to say something when a scout rushed in, rushed out of the gathered soldiers, and went straight to Galen's side.

"General! Noxus: They seem to have plans to retreat! ”

"Retreat? That Noxus? Galen's eyes were solemn, and he chose to believe the scout's words, and it would not end well if he lied about the military situation at this time.

Then the question is a bit bigger, what the hell is Noxus doing?

What kind of ploy?

Glancing at the hundreds of cavalry in front of him, Galen dispelled the doubts in his heart again, no matter what plan he planned, it would be fine to break through.

"Speed." When he turned his head, he saw that Sebato's figure had disappeared.

This was followed by the sound of a horn screw.

......

The Noxus barracks had been hastily packed, and there was no sign of a single soldier in sight.

The horse staggered forward, Darius' fists clenched so tightly that the expression on his face did not show any of his thoughts.

"I didn't expect it to end in this way." Draven had a straw in his mouth, and his tone was quite helpless.

He had thought about fighting on the battlefield, either they defeated Demacia or Demacia defeated them, but he never expected a retreat from the endless fortress of Noxus at this time when the victory was so decided.

"So...... We're just retreating, not failing. Kindness...... A strategic retreat, a good excuse. Draven said playfully, he was fine on his own, but others were more certain.

He knew Darius, and for him, retreating was a failure.

Looking at his eldest brother's quiet fist, Delevingne sighed and said, "If you want me to say, we still have to endure it." Now you don't have an official position with a big fart, and when you sit in that position one day, it's up to you to do what you want. ”

"I know." Darius responded, and he was only angry at first.

Later, when he realized that his anger was superfluous, Darius immediately abandoned this feeling.

"Failure is not terrible, the most terrible thing is the kind of failure that admits defeat before fighting." He had retreated once, though if he had to say it, it wasn't a failure.

Just give yourself and the enemy a chance to trim.

The casualties on both sides of that battle were not small, and since there was a breakthrough, Darius naturally would not drag it on, even if it was such a situation, Darius would think that it was his own defeat.

Compared to those who would rather die than retreat, Darius was certainly much better.

Some people just don't want to bear the name of a vanquished, but he, Darius, is different.

He can tolerate failure, failure is not terrible, as long as life is kept, opportunities will continue to appear.

While learning the lessons of defeat, Darius also remembered a lot of people in this battle.

For example, the Galen Crownguard, who is on par with him.

A soldier quickly rode to Darius, and hurriedly said, "My lord, it seems that the people of Demacia are about to chase after them, and they have a lot more cavalry. ”

Darius and Delevingne glanced at each other, and Delais said helplessly: "These Demacians......."

Then he said, "So what now?" Hit? ”

Darius asked, "What good will we do if we fight?" ”

Draven laughed: "More dead and wounded soldiers? ”

Darius also smiled and said loudly, "Speed up!" ”
