Chapter 198: God's Will (Part II)

Just as the trumpet sounded, Edward and Anson had already driven down from the Eagle's Fall Mountainβ€”and as soon as they arrived at the barracks, the restless little prince immediately turned over and dismounted, lifted the tent and walked in: "How's the situation?!"

"There were probably nearly two thousand blue wolf warriors rushing towards the west side of Eagle Fall Mountain, and according to the returning cavalry, there were at least two hundred blood wolf cavalry. The silent chief lieutenant stood in front of the sand table, propped his hands on the table and said in a deep voice, his face and neck were full of sweat: "The one in charge there is the Iron Wall Legion, they should have received the news and prepared for defense." ”

"The enemy is clever - they have a week to let our guard down, and they are quite shrewd in their plans to launch a surprise attack while we are shrinking our line. Green's expression was rather helpless: "If this is what he expected, it can only mean one thing." ”

"What?"

"Our opponent is not like any other barbarian leader or war chieftain, he knows us well, knows our strengths and understands his own weaknesses - he may even know us better than we do!"

Hearing Greene Turn's words, Anson, who had been anxious just now, suddenly fell silent, slowly lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists, clenched tightly and trembled, and even showed the green tendons underneath, which was enough to prove how much he suppressed his anger in order to suppress it.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from outside the tent, and a herald with a scarred face and bleeding face rushed in and knelt down on one knee in front of the little prince: "Salute you, Your Royal Highness!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Anson didn't even offer a few more words of comfort: "Tell me how the situation is, is the road blocked?" What about the enemy?!"

"It happened too suddenly. Our Legionnaire had only time to rush into battle with his guards and the veterans of the First Banner Regiment. As a result, they were outnumbered......" The herald looked at Anson's increasingly dark face, and quickly lowered his head: "But we still completed the blockade in time, and now the entire Western Front has been completely controlled by the Iron Wall Army!"

"But...... There was still a small number of enemies rushing over, probably nearly a hundred blood wolf cavalry, and twice as many barbarian warriors. As he spoke, even the herald, who was a little unsteady, trembled: "The commander of the legion was unfortunately thrown off his horse by a blood wolf cavalry when he was fighting the enemy, so he was unable to come to see you. ”

Edward, who had been standing behind, grabbed the herald and handed him to the guards outside the tent: "Send him to a doctor." Then take a break and heal your injuries. ”

"Thank you, Chief Flag Officer!" Edward smiled slightly and turned his gaze back to see Greene Turn, who was always sighing, and Anson with an angry face.

"Something must be done as soon as possible to prevent this from happening further - the enemy has already tasted the sweetness, and there is no reason why he should not use it a second time. Green Turn's spirits were strong: "Do a good job of blockading the line as soon as possible, extend the front line to the entire Iron Cliff Mountain Canyon, and no more enemies can be let through!"

"The current situation is that we have pushed the Blue Wolf Clan to the point where there is no way to retreat, no way to advance - the barracks of the five legions have been built, and the camp at the forefront is even less than a kilometer from the old river, but they have already had men who have passed through our lines and are ready to attack the supply lines behind. Loot our supplies, raid our troops!"

"Then what should we do?!" the little prince, who had long been unable to hold back for a long time, immediately shouted. Staring at Edward standing by the tent door, "Just like you said, these scum were intent on destroying our supply lines from the beginning and putting us in the same situation as them!"

Edward's expression was quite normal - Asriel would use this method, which seemed normal to him, and he would do the same thing. But because of this, he understands how to make the other party never get what he wants!

"Although this situation seems dangerous, it is far from the point of damaging the combat effectiveness of the entire legion. Edward shook his head, his voice calm: "The supplies in the barracks can last at least a month, so the real concern at the moment is how to ensure that the morale of the soldiers will not be harmed." ”

"First of all, it is necessary to stabilize the morale of the troops, and absolutely not let them be idle -- we still have the advantage, and as long as the eagle falls from the mountain, the initiative has not been lost. In order to be able to calm the morale of the army, a considerable number of cavalry was sent to pursue and kill the enemy who had fled to the rear and eliminate the hidden danger as soon as possible. ”

"How, do you know where those guys are hiding?" asked Green.

"I don't know, but if you say the same Hantu people, you should know a little bit about what kind of places their people hide in. Edward raised the corners of his mouth: "But it just so happens that there is a quite elite barbarian cavalry in the Battle Banner Legion, and it is now on standby, waiting for the dispatch of the Duke of Hantu City!"

"Can you trust it?"

"If they wanted to betray me, they would have betrayed me a long time ago - they have been serving as cavalry of the Banner Legion since the time of the Twin Towers, and they are absolutely credible. Edward nodded: "If it weren't for them during the Battle of Eagle Fall Mountain, I wouldn't have been able to hold out when reinforcements came." ”

"Alright, I'll leave this task to the Banner Legion. The little prince nodded, and looked at Edward with a resolute expression: "Tell them that as long as they can complete the task, the Duke of Hantu City can meet all the rewards they want!"

"I'll definitely convey it!" Edward nodded, turned and walked out of the tent, mounted his horse and rushed in the direction of the Banner Legion's barracks - time waits for no one, and the supply line is a matter of survival for the entire army of Hantu City, and Edward does not dare to hesitate at all.

By the time he arrived at the barracks, the area around the old river was full of soldiers who were still cleaning up the battlefield, and the Battle Banner Corps in the camp was still in full swing to continue building the barracks, but they all hung their weapons on their bodies, and their faces were full of vigilant expressions.

The warriors of the Eagle's Nest Valley in the camp were all placed near the watchtower - although they had sworn allegiance to Edward, they were still essentially the only ones who followed Iskar, and the warriors of the Black Hawk Clan were unusually united, and because they were the last to join the Banner Legion, they were more independent.

"That's probably the way it is - if we allow the enemy to harass us in the rear, the destruction of our supply lines will not only endanger the supply of the army, but even affect the morale of the entire army, and when the supply is not available, it will not be strange if there is a riot. ”

As he spoke, Edward handed Iska a flaming goshawk banner, "This task is entrusted to you Black Eagle Clan - you should know better than I know how to do it." Find them, then slay them all, and leave nothing behind!"

"I know what to do. Iskar nodded, "Other than that, are there any other orders?"

"There is only one. Edward smiled, "When the mission is completed, the cavalry don't have to come back - with this banner you can pass through Hantu City without a hitch, and then move on to the Eagle's Nest Valley." ”

"Eagle's Nest Valley?" Iska was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his head: "You, you mean ......"

"That's right, this is our last battle, and you've done your job. Edward said quite calmly, "I will try my best to fight for the Black Eagle Clan, so that His Highness Anson will give you more independent power as a reward in this war." ”

"Lord Witwood......" Iska's voice was a little sad - looking at the savior of the Black Hawk Clan, his heart churned slightly. It's still a little sad to suddenly have to separate after fighting side by side for so long.

"Needless to say, fight this last battle - whether you can complete the mission or not is not only related to the honor of the Black Eagle Clan and the Battle Banner Legion, but also to the survival of the entire army of Hantu City, and the survival of all of us!" (To be continued.) )
