"My lord, the army is ready, and we can evacuate. The Andean knight came to the side of the Grand Duke Cameron and said respectfully.

"How are the soldiers pacified?"

"We have already passed on the information, and we have not explained our plans, but we have said that we will make a strategic shift, and the top management has other plans. The Andean knight said: "The order is to return to settle the situation in the occupied areas. ”

"Well, let's go down. Grand Duke Cameron waved his hand, this former right-hand man has not been very supportive of his orders recently, which makes Grand Duke Cameron very dissatisfied.

The Andean knight bowed and retreated, but after stepping out of the military tent, he turned his head with a complicated face and sighed softly, if this continues, these tens of thousands of troops will definitely be buried on the battlefield of Lopez.

I don't know why, but when the war began, Grand Duke Cameron was still a wise leader, but after a while he became irritable, capricious, and even unsightly.

"You'......ve really changed," the Andean knight lifted his feet and left, he couldn't believe that the Grand Duke Cameron inside had gone from a majestic warrior to a great feat today.

Although they were going to retreat temporarily, the work of the heralds was still carried out conscientiously, and it didn't take long for the retreat to begin as the barracks were being made, and if you looked down from the sky, you could see the order of their army, like a swarm of ants.

Each performed its duties in an orderly manner, without a trace of confusion, and there was only the voice of the army commander in the entire barracks, as well as the neighing of war horses, the sound of war armor rubbing, and the footsteps of tens of thousands of people.

It can be seen from this that it is not for nothing that the army of the Duchy of Lion is strong in combat.

However, their flags were a little scattered, feeling out of place with the neat army, and some tents and some damaged equipment were not taken with them.

On the walls of the megalithic fortress, Thatcherch and a group of nobles hid in the towers and watched from afar.

"My lord, it seems that they are not demoralized by the defeat in this war. A young nobleman said quite confidently, as if he had seen through the whole situation.

"Hmph, don't you see that their flags have become scattered?" Another middle-aged nobleman with a short beard snorted coldly, secretly saying that the young man was inexperienced, and immediately retorted. And took advantage of the situation to ask Thatcherch: "My lord, please let me lead the army to pursue now, we will definitely achieve great results." ”

"Waiting. Thatcherch squinted at the methodically retreating army in the distance, not knowing what to think.

"Send out the scout cavalry to watch them from afar, and we'll go down and take a look now. He said that at this juncture, it was necessary to be very cautious, and if the enemy really retreated because of defeat, it would indeed be a good opportunity to pursue.

"Yes, sir. A knight behind him immediately responded, and then turned to arrange.

Not long after, the group rode out of the fortress under the protection of the cavalry and arrived at the abandoned military camp of the Duchy of Lion.

"My lord, they haven't used very many stoves lately. One of the knights hurried to the barracks where the soldiers were cooking, crouched down and touched the remaining burning materials in the improvised earthen stoves, and immediately got up and shouted at Thatcherch.

"My lord, they were obviously forced to retreat because of lack of food!" the young nobleman who had spoken before immediately spoke again excitedly.

What he didn't know was that he was secretly despised by the nobles around him, and if you were in such a hurry to show yourself, you would steal the limelight from this marquis.

The young nobleman, Webb Perry, was a new earl who had inherited his father's title, and was desperate for a big credit to strengthen the family's position due to the family's shaky foundations.

And his family is not very supportive of the Phil and Garcia families.

"Earl Webb. Thatcherch touched his mustache, put away his signature smile, and said solemnly: "You can go to the army of the Lion Principality as the commander of the vanguard army, I can give you 5,000 troops, plus the soldiers you brought are almost 8,000 in total, can you do it?"

"No problem at all, thank you, sir!" Webb was overjoyed when he heard this, and the nearly 10,000 soldiers used to pursue the demoralized 50,000-strong rout army was a pie-in-the-sky task.

"Viscount Wald, Viscount Stone, you two nobles go out with him. Thatcherch thought for a moment and said that eight thousand soldiers would be made up, and that the command of the army would not fall entirely into the hands of Earl Webb.

"Yes, sir. The two viscounts bowed down with a sad face, they did not want to take part in the pursuit of the enemy, but if at any other time they could have refused the seemingly impudent request of Marquis Thatcherch.

It's a pity that this is a time of war, and if they are killed for not obeying military orders, they will have no place to reason.

"Let's go and prepare. Thatcherch waved his hand, but he had no intention of returning.

"Then we'll go back and transfer troops first. Webb bowed, then turned and hurried away, believing that the best effect would be to pursue the enemy while he was unprepared.

The other two nobles behind him immediately followed, but resentment flashed in their eyes.

"Hmph, young. After they left, a die-hard Thatcherch supporter couldn't help but snort, presumably mocking Count Webb's ignorance of current affairs.

"yes, young. Thatcherch put on his trademark smile again, and said faintly, his eyes drifting to the neat ruts not far away, and the barracks without the slightest chaos.

"It's nice to be young. ”

The people around looked at each other, wondering why Thatcherch said this.

"Alright, let's go back too. After Marquis Thatcherch sighed inexplicably, he suddenly turned around and left: "Order people to burn this abandoned camp, look at it as an eyesore." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

......

The next day, the Lion Principality's army crossed the Falling Star Canyon and camped thirty miles away.

"Do you really have the confidence to keep their pursuers here forever?" Archduke Cameron was still unsure of his heart, and couldn't help but ask Master Orin again.

"Rest assured, I've done countless experiments on the West Coast, and this kind of thing is powerful enough to destroy their pursuers. "Master Orin is still selling Guanzi.

"......" Grand Duke Cameron didn't say anything more when he heard this, but his hand behind his back was tightly clenched into a fist.

"By the way, I don't think I saw Gwendrin in days. He suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked the Andean knight on the side, "What has she been busy with lately?"

It turns out that you still remember that you have such a daughter, and you have not asked for so many days, and your heart is big enough, the Andean knight sighed lightly in his heart, but still replied respectfully: "Her Royal Highness the princess has been unwell recently, and has been resting in the carriage. ”

"Well, tell her maid to take good care of her. Grand Duke Cameron nodded, and he didn't bother to visit her at this time.

Gwendlin is a girl, even on the battlefield, he must have a maid with him, otherwise some men will not be able to help him solve some things.

"My lord, the enemy has reached fifty miles east of the Falling Star Valley. Then the herald scout came galloping on horseback.

"It depends on the behavior of the people who are lying in ambush there. Master Orin said in a deep voice.
