The decisive battle between the two armies was located in an open plain a few miles from the city of London, which was just right for the two armies to fight.

It's just that, according to normal considerations, this plain field is very advantageous for Alpens's army, and for Artoria's side, it is a bit unfavorable.

In the Alpensian army, a third were cavalry corps. For cavalry, fighting on the plains can greatly exert their might. They had an almost natural advantage over Artoria's all-in-one infantry regiment, especially since the infantry had not yet been trained to deal with cavalry charges. Due to lack of time, Artoria could only do some basic training, after all, she was only a rookie general herself.

Moreover, although there are not many of them, there are still a certain number of magicians in Alpens's ranks, all of whom are native to the Kingdom of England and have returned to serve their country after studying magic. Because some have been co-opted by other countries, only a certain number of people are very enthusiastic about the motherland and finally stay.

The destructive power of these magicians gathered together was not very large, but the damage caused to Artoria's side was also very great. Especially in this open plain, the team of mages can directly use magical attacks without being hindered by the terrain.

If it weren't for Artoria and Wang Xiaoming, the situation might have been so bad.

July 4th

As early as the day before yesterday, Artoria had already arrived on the battlefield. The number of troops brought with them was only a mere 3,000 men, and they were all infantry. Except for her, the coach, who is riding a horse, the rest are all on foot, even Adam and Wang Xiaoming, who are accompanying her. Therefore, all the way down, the girl rode alone and rushed to the front, followed by a bunch of soldiers chasing.

The 3,000 soldiers did not complain about this, on the contrary, their morale was still very high, and they followed Artoria's pace with great vigour, and the pace of the team was orderly, as if they were a division of a hundred battles...... Although in reality there has never been a battle.

Wang Xiaoming knew that this was due to the B-level "leadership" of one of the girl's natural skills, which was why the morale of these 3,000 recruits would be so excited. It's all because of the girl's own powerful skills.。

That's how it goes!

Of course, Artoria didn't realize much of this. Because firstly, she did not understand these things, and secondly, she had "forgotten" these things, or that they had been integrated into the girl's body and had become her exclusive characteristics, rather than the so-called "skills" that were performed.

When she arrived at the battlefield, Artoria was not happy to be happy, she saw the large number of tents on the other side, and knew that Alpens's side had already arrived there earlier.

Sure enough, did he still let him take the first step?

Alpens's earlier arrival on the battlefield did not surprise her too much. Since the decisive battle was proposed by him first, she was naturally inferior to the other party in terms of familiarity with the terrain and venue. It is also common sense that the other party will come here in advance.

"Al, it seems that the eldest prince came here before us, and they are the ones who are waiting for their work. Adam surveyed the terrain around him, and found that the plain was in some ways a deformed basin, surrounded by hills on either side, which was suitable for ambushes.

"And it seems that the other side may have planted ambushes in the mountains on both sides, and when the decisive battle comes, it may sneak attack from our left and right, so that we can't react to it. We need to pay attention. ”

"Well, let's start camping now, let the soldiers finish today, and tomorrow will be the decisive battle. Xiaoming, you go and scout the neighborhood to see if there are any mysterious movements, and then come back and report. Of course, if you think you can do it, it's okay to cause them a little bit of trouble. Artoria looked at the situation on the other side and said to Wang Xiaoming who came over.

Wang Xiaoming responded with a smile: "I was just about to tell you about this." The other party is one step ahead of us, and they must have done more preparation, and it is hard to believe that they are just camping over there like this. Although the decisive battle is tomorrow, there are many things that can be done for it. ”

"I'll leave now, and remember to be on the lookout for each other's movements when you set up camp. Who knows if they're going to give you a surprise attack?"

"I see, you go. Artoria nodded.

So, when Wang Xiaoming set off to be a scout, Artoria and Adam set up camp with the soldiers, and in the process of camping, there was no movement on Alpens's side, and Alpens himself stood on the side of the main camp and looked at the girl.

The other party did not make any sudden moves, and Artoria set up camp with peace of mind, and she also stood up and looked at Alpens from a distance of hundreds of meters.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and there was no change in expression. But what was going on in his heart, no one knew.

The first to look away was Artoria, who turned back and walked back into the camp that had begun to take shape.

Brother Wang...... Everything will be liquidated tomorrow.

It was late in the evening that Wang Xiaoming returned. From his mouth, he learned that there was not even a single figure nearby, let alone the ambush soldiers planted by the other party.

"There was no sign of the ambush...... Is that Brother Wang, has he already made up his mind to fight like this tomorrow?" Artoria thought as she looked at the barracks on the far side.

Although the opponent's advantage is really better than ours, this is a bit inconsistent with Brother Wang's character......

"Al, have you carefully looked at the number of tents on the other side?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

"How many tents?"

"Yes, how many tents there are, how many people are over there? Estimate whether there are tens of thousands of people over there. ”

Hearing Wang Xiaoming say this, Artoria also made a serious calculation. Finally, it is concluded that:

There are really nearly 10,000 people.

"According to the standard of soldiers that can be carried by the general barracks, the other side does have tens of thousands of soldiers. Artoria nodded.

"That's fine. There was no sign of the enemy walking around, and the number of barracks on the opposite side was enough to support all the opposing troops. That is on the surface, the eldest prince really has the heart to fight to the end in tomorrow's decisive battle. ”

“...... Well, it's a little weird, but maybe that's it. ”

It seems that Brother Wang also wants to settle everything tomorrow.

"Okay, Yas, treat the soldiers well tonight, rest early, and prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle!"

"Yes. Yas replied.

"By the way, it's best to take turns sending some men to keep vigil, just in case. Wang Xiaoming added.

Artoria: "Alright, Yas, let's do it." ”

As a result, before tomorrow's decisive battle, there were no disputes between the two sides, there was no intersection, and each prepared itself.

Except for Wang Xiaoming.

At night, the night is windy, and the moon shines on the two places of the military camp on the plain. Except for the place where the two armies were camped, which was filled with torches, the rest of the place sank into darkness.

From the Alpenses barracks, the troops marched in two directions, their movements very stealthy, as if they were on some secret mission.

And the place to which the direction points is the place where Adam had considered the ambush of the ambush.

[These ambushes will not be discovered by Artoria's side]

[The soldiers here won't notice me, and when I ask them questions, they will answer me without hesitation]

Wang Xiaoming watched the two soldiers set off, and then asked a passing patrol sentry.

"Excuse me, where is the camp where His Royal Highness the eldest prince is located?"

"That's the most obvious one over there. The sentinel pointed to the largest camp tent.

“...... Ha, thank you. Wang Xiaoming said with a dry smile. Then go into the main account.

"Yo, eldest prince, third prince, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

As soon as Wang Xiaoming entered the camp tent, he spoke.

Because Wang Xiaoming's voice was so loud, both Alpens and Altaïs could hear it clearly, not to mention the other soldiers outside.

"You guy, did you deliberately say so loudly, you want to disturb the order of our army, right?" Altais said with some dissatisfaction.

"What are you talking nonsense about? Wang Xiaoming gave a sentence directly.

"What did you say?"

"I'll say whatever you want. ”

"You!"

"What are you, you, me, and me, are you stuttering? ”

Altaïs was about to scold Wang Xiaoming back, but was persuaded by Alpens to come back.

"Tess, it doesn't have to be like this. He clearly deliberately tried to provoke you. ”

"yes, I can't even accept such a test. I really don't know how you are the third prince. How embarrassing is your dear brother Wang's affection. Wang Xiaoming spread his hands and said.

“...... Hmph!" Altaïs was not angry at all, but just looked at him indignantly.

Alpens looked at Wang Xiaoming.

"As you said before, will you really say yes?"

"Of course, I'm still very principled. What has been said will be done. ”

"Helping Artoria and coming to me...... Wang Xiaoming, which side are you?"

Wang Xiaoming just went around the back of his head, not knowing what words to use.

"Your Royal Highness, there will always be a kind of person in this world. This kind of person doesn't look at the results at all, and he just looks at whether it's fun or not. Fortunately, I am such a person, so I would never do anything bad to the Kingdom of England. You can rest assured. ”

"Why should I believe you?" asked Alpens indifferently.

"I can swagger into this tent. With a smile, Wang Xiaoming lifted the curtain and saw that the troops who were secretly operating outside had already set off one after another.

"Anyway, this war, whether you win or Al, it won't hurt this country. You and Al can settle the matter with the past. She has always regarded you as her royal brother, and has been hesitating whether to kill or not. ”

"Naive. Alpens just said two words.

"It's naïve, you'll be able to understand it in tomorrow's decisive battle. Anyway, everything is done as promised. With that, he walked out of the tent.

"Brother Wang, do you really want to do this, in case he deceives us......" Altais wondered.

However, what he said was also correct. Anyway, in the end, it's a good thing for the country. It's okay to accept it, and ......"

Alpens suddenly laughed with ease.

"Leah is now qualified to succeed to the throne, and even if I lose, it doesn't matter. It's better to take this opportunity to be with that Wang Xiaoming and teach her a good lesson at the end. ”

His eyes were on the outside of the tent that had been blown up.

"If you want to sit on the throne, you can no longer have a childish and naïve temperament. ”
