"My lord, what are we going to do next, are we really going to fight them head-on?" asked one of Panick's henchmen a little anxiously.

After the last sneak attack, they realized that their soldiers and the army of the Iron Fang were fundamentally two horizontal lines.

Just because they were attacked yesterday and can immediately organize an army to counterattack today, we can see their strong psychological quality.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the two sides are not of the same grade, but Jason attaches great importance to this part of the army.

And their task is to delay as much time as possible, until reinforcements arrive, rather than separating them with the army led by Jason.

Originally, Panik thought that even if the two armies faced each other, he would not be able to lose the momentum if he fought with real swords and guns, but now it seems that the well-equipped level of his soldiers may be about the same as that of those ordinary noble private soldiers in Lucca Province.

After realizing this, the generals, including Panick, felt as sick as eating flies.

Then Panick suddenly remembered a news that he had been ignoring before, that is, Jason had recently opened an arms trade for all the nobles who supported him!

At that time, Count Ica was still very disdainful that Jason was the way to die, and once these nobles used his power to arm their army, would they still be willing to help him charge into battle?

But now it seems that Ika-sama guessed wrong.

Moreover, he sent the slave legion and cavalry regiment to attack for only one purpose, so he set up a suspicious formation, so that Jason was suspicious and did not dare to take the initiative to attack easily.

But unexpectedly, it made Jason determined to fight quickly, and I have to say that he was lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

"What about General Metalen, let him come to me. ”

Seeing that Jason's army formation had taken shape and began to slowly advance towards the slave army, the slaves who lacked training began to show signs of escape.

The pressure on them from the enemy is simply too great.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

After a while, a middle-aged man with a somewhat thin figure and a resolute face hurried over, and he bowed his head in front of Panik and said respectfully.

He is also an ordinary person without extraordinary strength, and in Pannick's army, it is never based on the level of strength to determine the position and status, which is very different from the armies in other places.

"I have a mission for you, but you're likely to die here. Panick gave him a complicated look and then whispered.

"Willing to serve the adults. ”

Metaron's expression was solemn, and his tone was a little fanatical.

Panik's reputation among these civilian generals was so high that it was feared by Count Ica.

But Count Ika couldn't do without Pannick's help now, otherwise he wouldn't have had the opportunity to lead an army on his own.

"I'll leave you an army of 2,000 men and all the slave legions to stop Jason's army for three days, and after three days, no matter what the battle situation is, can you immediately retreat?"

Panick sighed, it was almost a mission that sent him to his death, but he had to.

Fleeing without a fight would have dealt a huge blow to his reputation, and it would have sent him a lever to weaken his influence, in the hands of Count Ica.

But in order to be able to retain as much vitality as possible to fight Jason, he had to do it.

"I see, my lord, I will definitely return alive with the army. Metaron looked solemn, then saluted respectfully again and turned away.

........................................................................

"Donter-sama, are we just going to spend it with them?"

On the other side, far beyond the Baria Pass, a sturdy general in cyan armor looked solemnly at the tall city wall in the distance, and a general with a delicate mask beside him asked with some doubts.

Listening to her soft voice and looking at her slender figure, she should be a female general.

"We have been ordered to keep an eye on them, and as long as Atum does not come out of the Barya Pass with his army, we will ignore them. General Donte turned his horse's head and walked towards the barracks behind him.

He was a general on par with Pannik in the province of Geran, but he was of noble birth and had a baronial title, and he always looked down on Pannick, who he felt was too conservative and too prestigious among the commoners.

"Got it, Father...... General, what are we going to do next?" the young female general hurriedly caught up with him, and asked with some impatience.

It seems that she especially wants to build up her military exploits.

"Audrey, you only have one task now, and that is to go back, take a bath, and rest. Baron Donte slowed down, and when she caught up, he said to her with a slightly kind expression.

"But I've heard that General Panick's side has already fought with that Jason, and I'm afraid he'll sue him for doing nothing. Audrey said reluctantly.

"The biggest thing to do is to do nothing, and Panik will pay the price for his self-inflicted cleverness. ”

Dont shook his head, he knew he was bound to suffer huge losses after hearing that Pannick had sent troops to raid Jason's army.

"I don't understand. Audrey pushed her face up, and her delicate face looked a little confused.

"This war can't be won with our current strength, so being able to delay them is the greatest feat, Panick took it for granted. Baron Donte patiently explained.

His gifted daughter was his pride, and he had no intention of bringing her out, but in order to escape the pestering of Count Ica's handsome son, Audrey begged him to take her to the army.

"I see. ”

Audrey suddenly realized and showed a very cute expression, but she immediately frowned again: "Then why didn't Atum come out with troops to fight us?"

It stands to reason that Baria's army is far superior to his own side, and Baron Donte has only 5,000 troops, and has not yet led a slave army like Panik.

"Huh, who knows?"

Baron Donte glanced back at the Baria Pass, shook his head with a smile and said.

Atum was now facing something that bothered him, and that was that a confidant officer sent by Zola questioned him about why he had not moved.

Unfortunately, the officer was detained before he could see Atum.

"I don't need you to remind me to do things. ”

These were the exact words of Atum, which one of the guards conveyed to him.
