The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army were not surprised by this sudden attack on a rainy night, they were not only prepared for it, but even had some expectations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, they had been fighting the Bright Expeditionary Force on the Empire's long borders for too long, with only two skirmishes in more than three months.

Blindly retreating is detrimental to their sense of honor as soldiers, and they are desperate to fight the enemy on the frontal battlefield as soon as possible.

Because that is the time to prove their courage, only by completely destroying the enemy, can they leave the battlefield as soon as possible and return home.

However, when the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army were lined up and ready to meet the onslaught of the enemy, an officer immediately rushed over and gave an order.

"Everyone retreat at once, move towards the hillside on the right, be fast, carry out the order immediately, there is not much time left for us. ”

The officer pointed to a hillside not far to the right and ordered the soldiers to move towards that position, and many soldiers were already moving.

"Well, shouldn't we attack the enemy when he comes? Why do we retreat to the hillside? And what are we here for?"

"Yes, we've built fortifications here, and isn't it time to attack them while they're still on their feet?"

"Sir, did I hear it wrong, isn't this the place for a decisive battle, if we let them go through the Misty River, the consequences will be very serious!"

The soldiers looked at each other, bewildered by this order, they were ready to go to battle, and even the consciousness of dying in battle.

But after waiting for three months, let them continue to retreat, and if they retreat further, they will have no room for maneuver!

"Don't ask so much, this is an order, an order from the Duke, to withdraw to that hillside in the shortest possible time, and act!"

The officer scolded, he didn't have much time to explain in detail, and in fact, with his authority, he didn't know much.

"What? Lord Duke, has he come here? But why haven't you seen him show up all these days? Did you just arrive?"

"Since it's the Duke's order, there's nothing to worry about, let's hurry over, my lord, he must have his reasons. ”

"But those guys are really good at picking the right time, and they just cross the river at such a time, so let's wait for them to come over and teach them a lesson!"

The soldiers looked at the dense firelight on the river, and after half a month of preparation, the Bright Crusade finally chose to attack on this night.

They built a large number of light boats, intending to bring all their soldiers over, seize the ferry, and then use this as a rift to conquer the western part of the empire.

At this time, there were hundreds of light boats on the river, which could accommodate thousands of people to cross the river at the same time, and the advance troops had successfully disembarked.

"General Odyssey, you see, we easily reached the other side of the river, and there was no decent resistance, and it seems that the so-called Far Eastern Army is nothing more than that, and when they saw us crossing the river, they all fled in fright, and they didn't even want these fortifications, what a bunch of cowards. ”

A bishop came down from the light boat, and he saw the empty camp, where there was still the shadow of the Far Eastern Army, they had all retreated long ago.

"Have they all retreated? I don't know what was going on, but based on the previous two attacks, they shouldn't be cowards, and according to my guess, they should have been stubbornly resisted, and they would have to pay a terrible price to land smoothly, but now it seems that ......"

Odyssey, the head of the Paladin, was suspicious and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything in a short time.

"General Odyssey, you think too highly of them, they are simply helping the rabble, even the army of the empire is so useless, it seems that our expedition will definitely have a great success, and we can easily capture this land, is this really favored by the goddess of light?"

The bishop's face was full of piety, and more and more soldiers began to land, probably in the thousands, and the large army was still waiting on the other side of the river.

"No, it's so illogical to give up the fortifications they built with great difficulty, they definitely have a plan, I must have missed something, I must remember what I missed, and this feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger. ”

Odyssey had an instinct as a soldier, and he didn't think that the Far Eastern Army would be so useless, and it was too wrong to flee without even resisting.

He tried to figure out what the crux of the problem was, and he looked at the river, as if he had found some key point, thoughtful.

"Therefore, General Odyssey, with the blessing of the goddess of light, we must win all battles and move forward bravely, so use this momentum to continue to move forward, and we will fight to the royal capital of the empire and take this land, which will also be the immortal credit of Archbishop Gregor . ”

This bishop is a descendant of Gregor who, once the empire is conquered, is definitely a great credit, and compared to Alfonso who escaped.

One lost the missionary soil of the empire and fled back to the holy city in disarray, while the other recaptured the land strongly.

It is clear who is superior and who is inferior in comparison, and Gregor is ready to use the empire as the foundation to compete with the Holy City.

"River water...... The heavy rain in the past few days has not stopped, under normal circumstances, it should continue to rise, and it will take some time for the water to balance, but the water level has dropped significantly in the past few days, and we also took this opportunity to start crossing the river, which is too suspicious. ”

Odyssey noticed the change in the water line, which should normally rise, but instead of rising these days, it has fallen.

"This is definitely the divine power of the goddess of light, and in the presence of the great goddess of light, anything can happen, isn't this evidence that we have been blessed? ”

This bishop did not understand military affairs at all, his face was full of the radiance of pious divinity, where could he listen to anything else?

"No, this is absolutely impossible to be a divine power, but man-made! Someone deliberately blocked the upstream of the river, which caused the water level not only not to rise, but to fall, but if someone blocked the upstream of the river, and they chose to retreat, it is not good, not good, immediately retreat, retreat!"

After Odyssey fell into thought, he quickly had a flash of inspiration and found the crux of the problem, and his face instantly became ugly.

Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately yelled and ordered the soldiers to retreat, a terrible disaster was coming!
