But the person who really wants to escape is probably the regent Xiu Mo!

After his bold words, Xiumo stared at the black tide-like enemy, the black-armored hoplites stood still outside the city of Dorette, patted the chief of the General Staff, Stanley, on the shoulder, and said, "The rest is up to you." ”

"Rest assured, Lord Regent, this is what we envisage in our strategic plan, and if the enemy forces can engage us under the city, our chances of victory will be much greater. Although the Chief of the General Staff was reporting to the Regent, his eyes did not take his eyes off the swarming invading army in the distance. As for what the odds of winning he said, it is estimated that only he knows.

"Very good, very good, I will go back to the inner city first and tell His Majesty the good news" As soon as he said this, everyone present was a little surprised. I thought that the seven-year-old little Emperor Manfret had already been evacuated to the north, but I didn't expect that he was still in the city of Doret and defending the capital with all the soldiers!"I will go back at once and tell Your Majesty that he will win this battle with us!

Several nobles and generals were immediately overjoyed, and it would certainly be a morale boost if all the defenders were informed that His Majesty Manfret was still in Doret City. The Chief of the General Staff also understood, and he immediately asked the soldiers who ordered him to inform all the soldiers defending the city, the soldiers outside the city, and other defensive strongholds, that the enemy had appeared and that His Majesty the Emperor would sit in the inner city and face the powerful enemy with everyone.

The seven nobles, as well as Gabrihaus and others, were also forced to follow the regent Shumo in the direction of the inner city, leaving only Lord Mönggo, who would be responsible for the communication between Doret's main city and the inner city, and the two deputy cities in the southeast were respectively in charge of General Glenn and Chief of General Staff Stanley. Stanley had already set up a headquarters in the center of the southern sub-city, and Ludwig and Derek and others would be by his side.

Fed, on the other hand, was ordered to immediately return to the mercenary camp to the west, ready to face an enemy who might choose to break through to the west. The mercenary camp to the west now has a total of 33,000 mercenaries and nearly sixty-five mercenary groups, all of which are directly commanded by Field, and the next commander is Stanley. So now the area west of Doret City has become a place where mercenaries must defend, but there is no natural barrier to stop the enemy's advance except for slightly higher terrain, so Ludwig has already made a suggestion.

Ludwig had already come up with two plans for Fidel to hold on to them. One is a reserve plan and the other is a backup plan. The plan was that if the invading forces of the East Oguna Empire chose to break through to the west of Doret City and attack the west gate, then the more than 30,000 mercenaries led by Fid would immediately abandon the camp there and start burning everything that could be burned on the camp. Since the wind was blowing in the southeast, even the presence of smoke would not affect the guards standing on the high wall. When the invading army has crossed the barrier and chooses to attack the western wall, the mercenaries led by Fid can harass and contain the periphery and work with the defenders on the wall to deal with the besieging enemy. If the invading army chooses to pursue the mercenary group, the crossbowmen on the walls will also volley these enemies, and Fid only needs to retreat to the rear with his own troops and not go head-to-head with the enemy.

This preparatory plan seems to be seamless, enough to allow the mercenary troops, who are not good at head-on encounters, to play their due role. But even so, Ludwig came up with a second plan, a backup plan.

The backup plan was that when the enemy did not choose to attack the western walls of Doret City, the mercenaries led by Felder would take the initiative to attack the enemies on the flanks. When Ludwig proposed this plan at the military council, he did not expect that there would be so many enemies in the city, so he entrusted the task of attacking the flanks and pinning down the enemy's less mobile troops to the mercenaries led by Fidel. But now there are more than 200,000 regular troops standing outside a lonely city in Doret, and the land that can be seen has already been filled, and the "flanks" of the enemy's troops are incomparably huge. If Fide really led these more than 30,000 mercenaries to attack the flank of the invading army, I am afraid that he would be besieged by tens of thousands of hoplites, and he would be crushed at the first touch.

Therefore, on the way back to the mercenary camp, Fidel had already secretly vetoed this backup plan. If the invading army really did not attack the western wall of Doret City, they would not have sent mercenaries to attack the enemy's regular army troops on flat ground, after all, there is no point in hitting stones with pebbles.

However, just as Feder left the southern sub-city and returned to the camp of the mercenary group, several fast horses suddenly appeared behind him, "Captain Fed, please stay!" It turned out to be a knight beside Stanley.

The knights immediately dismounted, then took out the letter from their bosoms and gave it to Fidel.

"This is a letter from Lord Ludwig, who said that it must be handed over to you, Lord Feder, and that the knight was at a loss and did not finish his sentence."

Fed decided to open the letter first.

"Due to the miscalculation of the enemy's situation, the backup plan I proposed was immediately cancelled, but I have a new backup plan. If the enemy did not attack the western wall of Doret City, please ask the Captain of the Wild Regiment to enter Doret City immediately with his own Potato Mercenary Corps men, and leave the remaining sixty or so mercenary regiments outside the city, and order them to leave the camp and stand guard at the rear of the camp.

These knights will protect you and inform us of the situation on your side as soon as possible. I'm sure I'll be able to meet Captain Fidel again at the headquarters in the southern vice-city in a moment, Ludwig. ”

The knights saw that Fidel had finished reading the letter and gathered around, "We are under the orders of the Chief of the General Staff and Lord Ludwig to protect Captain Fidel." ”

It's protection? It's surveillance. When Fidel saw the eyes behind the knight's helmet, everyone looked panicked and tensed, and it was estimated that they would not only have to monitor themselves, but also make sure that they did not take the lead in surrendering to the enemy. After all, there have been rumors within those mercenary groups that they are going to surrender before, and Stanley, the chief of the general staff, is well-informed, so there is no reason not to know.

"Okay, then you guys can follow me. With that, Feder turned around and continued his way back to his camp.

When they walked into the camp of the mercenary group, Charlie and the other leaders of the major mercenary groups had already lined up in several rows, standing outside the camp of the potato mercenary group, waiting for Feide's return.

"We all already know that there are more enemies than ants!" said Hei, who grew taller, and the first time he saw him, he shouted loudly.

Marcus and the other captains also came out of the pile of captains and greeted Fidel. They immediately noticed the knights behind Fed, and realized that those guys had bad intentions.

"What are we going to do?" Marcus asked first.

Fei De looked at the dozens of mercenary captains and his subordinates in front of him, as well as the knights behind him with nervous expressions, and he said lightly: "Now the enemy is just standing far away, and even our bows and crossbows and trebuchets can't attack, so you don't have to worry too much, just act according to the plan." ”

Of course, the plans he was talking about were the two plans that Ludwig had arranged for the more than 30,000 mercenaries here. The other mercenary captains understood that what they wanted most would happen was for the invading forces to attack the western walls of Doret City, and then the mercenaries could set fire to the camp and temporarily withdraw to the rear. When the situation became clearer, some regimental commanders could decide whether to return to the battlefield and flank the besieging troops and plunder them or continue to retreat to the rear, saving their lives.

"We're all ready, now we're waiting for your order, Captain Fidel. Squadron Leader Luca said loudly.

Fide nodded, there was no need to give any orders just yet, "The men we sent are monitoring the invading forces of the East Oguna Empire, and I will notify the commanders as soon as the enemy takes action." ”

When the various mercenary leaders dispersed, Jasmine, the leader of the Mulihua mercenary group, quietly walked to Feide's side, and then pulled Feide away and whispered: "My subordinates are near the land of Emmy, there is a large group of Theoguna Imperial light cavalry, I don't know if Captain Feide knows this arrangement?"

Fei De shook his head, he only realized after listening to the other party's words that none of the light cavalry on the western border of the Oguna Empire was in Stanley's plan, and the other generals did not mention it, "I don't know. ”

"I suspect those light cavalry are going to mutiny!"
