The sound of boiling water resounded in the center of the camp, and in such an environment, the guard officer could not hear the non-commissioned officers clearly, and he yelled: "Be quiet for me!"

The noisy voices in front of the door suddenly fell silent, and the guards looked around at the nervous non-commissioned officers and said, "How does Duke Wiz teach you in normal times? When you encounter an enemy night attack, you panic to such an extent, how can you still be the commander of the soldiers!"

The guards lowered their heads as they spoke, and seeing that everyone's mood had stabilized a little, the guards announced the duke's order to them: "The duke orders you to lead your soldiers to quickly support the soldiers on the outskirts of the camp to fight the enemy, and hold out until the reinforcements behind come to support our army!"

"Yes!" the senior non-commissioned officers who received the order ran around, leading their elite soldiers to support the outlying troops who were struggling to hold out.

"Have you received all the orders?" Duke Wizz's voice came from behind the guard, and the guard officer turned to see that Duke Wizz had already put on his armor and came out of the tent with a hammer and a few knights.

The guard officer nodded in agreement, "Yes, my lord, they have already rushed to the front line with their men, and I believe that the enemy's offensive will be stalled because of this. ”

Duke Wiz said with relief: "That's good, our current bonfire of warning has been destroyed by the enemy, and now the important thing is to rebuild the bonfire, as long as the flame can be lit to send a call for help to Her Majesty the Empress, then the reinforcements behind will arrive soon!"

Duke Wiz looked at the guard officer with a serious look and said, "This matter depends on you, I am going to the front line to command the battle, and now my soldiers need me!"

The guard noticed the incompromising look on Duke Wiz's face, and the words that wanted to advise the Duke were swallowed back into his stomach.

He could only swear to the duke: "My lord, I will definitely live up to your expectations, I will raise the bonfire again!"

Duke Wiz just nodded without answering, and led the knights to turn around and rush to the battlefield where the fierce battle was fought in the distance.

The guard ran to the southwest corner of the Duke's tent, where stood the tallest building in the camp, the warning bonfire, which had been extinguished by the gnolls, but fortunately they didn't have time to destroy the campfire, otherwise it would have been more difficult to rekindle it.

Despite the restraint of the officers, there were still many soldiers who were frightened, and from time to time there were frightened soldiers who fled frantically along the way. The guard officer carefully avoided the frantic soldiers, and selectively stopped a few deserters who were still sane.

He looked at the uneasy looking soldiers in front of him and whispered comfortingly: "Soldiers, I know that you are very flustered now, this is a normal reaction, but now that the Duke has gone to the battlefield, we need to relight the bonfire to notify the reinforcements to come to support, so the safety of the whole army is tied to us, and the time has come to make meritorious achievements, if you are a man, go with me to light the bonfire, because you are not a deserter, you are a brave warrior!"

The soldier listened to the resolute guard officer's lecture, and was rekindled by his words, and his heart calmed down.

Seeing that the heart had been settled, the guard officer pointed to the bonfire and said, "The situation is urgent now, and we will go there now and rekindle the bonfire!" After saying that, he rushed to the campfire in the distance.

A few kilometers away, in the camp of Empress Gladys, there were occasional voices of quarrels coming from the tent. The ministers who followed the empress's army were arguing, and the empress sat at the top and watched their faces glorified by the quarrel.

A wrinkled minister in the field said his thoughts: "If you want me to say, it is estimated that the sentry guarding the bonfire dozed off and forgot to add fire to extinguish the flames!"

Another gray-bearded minister retorted: "How is it possible, I have been friends with Duke Wiz for a long time, he is not a careless general in setting up camp, it must be something going on in the forward camp!"

"It's still snowing in the sky, and the scouts nearby can't see it clearly, maybe it's too dark and the fire has become smaller for the scouts to see wrong!"

"You are talking nonsense, how can the flames on the campfire be easily extinguished!"

Seeing that the quarrel in the tent was intensifying, Gladys angrily rebuked: "Enough! I know that if you are not sure of the situation, why do you only scold each other here, instead of taking the soldiers to investigate the situation in the forward camp?

Suddenly there was silence in the audience, Gladys leaned back in her chair and sighed, looked at the silent ministers and said, "You don't have to quarrel, we will set off now, and go with all the troops to find out the situation of the forward camp, no matter what happens there, we cannot sit idly by here." ”

At this time, the knights outside the tent began to shout: "The bonfire of the vanguard in the north is lit, and the pattern of the bonfire there seems to be a signal of the enemy's attack!"

Hearing this, Gladys stood up, looked at the ministers in the tent, and said, "Listen to my orders, and the generals present will lead the army to follow me to support the forward camp!"
