"Commander, a large number of troops have been found in the southwestern direction." A herald ran up to Mites and got down on one knee and reported.

"Okay." Mitters nodded, at this time he had already led his troops in front of the west, the goal was of course to intercept the troops of the Second Army on the opposite side, and this, he had already prepared.

Of course, it takes a little time for the troops to assemble, Mitus first sent a reconnaissance force when the troops were assembled, and when he set off, he happened to receive the reconnaissance information, and the result was the same as he thought, the opposite troops appeared in the west, that is, in the direction of the main battlefield Tedmara area, and they were really ready to go to reinforcements.

It was his task to intercept the Second Army, so he immediately ordered his troops to speed up, although it was night, which was not conducive to the march, but he had already anticipated this situation, and prepared a lot of torches and the like, and sure enough, everything was in his plan.

At the command, the soldiers of the Fourth Army also accelerated their advance. After a period of hurrying, they successfully reached the interception site, which was also one of the several interception positions that Miters had identified beforehand, and they had also detected the approximate location of the opposing troops before, and they could intercept them here according to their speed.

"Queue up, organize defense." It's too late to build fortifications, but it's enough to line up in advance. Mitters felt that as long as he succeeded in intercepting, it was already a great achievement, and the terrain here was also easy to defend and difficult to attack, just a gentle uphill position, and it was enough to rely on this advantage to block the opponent.

So the Fourth Army waited for the arrival of the opposing troops while forming a team, but after waiting for a while, they did not wait for anyone, and many of the surrounding reconnaissance came back, but they all said that they did not see the opposing troops.

"This ......" Mitters was a little strange, there should be no problem with his interception position, could it be that the other party made a detour and deliberately bypassed his own troops. Could it be that the other party has already considered the situation that he will intercept? In addition to the location that he is defending, it is very troublesome to bypass other roads, but it is not excluded that the other party will take those more difficult roads in order to complete the support mission.

"A little clever, but ...... It didn't work. "Since it's a more difficult road, of course, it's slower, so as long as you find them, of course you can continue to intercept the other party, and what you need to know now is which way the other party is taking. So Mitters immediately sent his own reconnaissance team to reconnoiter in several other directions.

Mites, on the other hand, thought about it and decided that the troops would continue to move westward, that is, in the direction of the Tedmara region, so that the other side would not be faster than them even if they made a detour, and as long as they found the other side, they could immediately rush over and intercept it.

However, what he didn't expect was that just as their troops were ready to start marching, an unexpected situation happened. His scout team caught a group of scouts nearby, but to Mitters' surprise, the scouts turned out to be their own.

"You are...... Git's subordinates? Mitters asked the Scouts who had been brought in front of him, and to be honest, he was quite suspicious of their identities.

"Yes, Mistress Mites." A few soldiers weren't very flustered, "We're all scouts of the First Legion. ”

Git is the commander of the First Legion of the Masodra Empire, of course Mitus knows him, but it is impossible for everyone under his command to know him, although these people are indeed wearing their military uniforms, but it does not mean that they are really their own people. Mitters thought for a moment and said directly: "Pull these spies out and kill them." ”

"What?" Several of the scouts were stunned, "No, stop, Mistress Mites, why did you kill us?" We are not spies, we are really reconnaissance units of the First Legion. ”

"What are the scouts of the First Legion doing here?" "This is the border of the Tedemara region, how can you spy on the enemy army coming here?" It's clearly the enemy's pretense. ”

"Huh?" Several people were stunned, "No, Lord Mites, we were ordered to scout the enemy army, and we followed the enemy army all the way to this side." ”

"Following the enemy?" Mitters was slightly stunned.

"Huh? Mistress Mites, don't you know? We've won, we've won this battle. The Scout said.

"What kind of mess?" Mitters looked confused, he really didn't understand.

"The forces of the Saint-Willan Empire have just retreated, completely withdrawn from the Tedmara region, and we have won." The Scout said.

"Huh? Alas? Wait......" Mites suddenly shook his whole body when he heard this, "You said that the troops of the Saint-Willan Empire have withdrawn?" Just? Evacuated from here? ”

"Yes, in the evening, the troops of the Saint Willan Empire suddenly began to withdraw, and they should not be able to fight anymore, so they should give up." The scout said, "But the Legion Elder still asked us to follow them to report the situation at any time, we have been tracking the time for a night, they should be coming this way, it is estimated that they are going to the Neshin Fortress to the east to join the Second Legion over there, the Legion Elder has already sent someone to inform you, don't you know?" ”

"Neshin Fortress has burned down!" Mitters suddenly roared when he heard this, he already sensed that something was wrong. The First Legion of the Saint Willan Empire retreated, in this direction, so they detected the troops of the First Legion before, no wonder they intercepted it and did not succeed, the other party did not come in this direction at all, but went in the opposite direction. And the people who informed him of the First Legion, of course, did not see him, and he had already set off by then.

Of course, these are not the most important things, the point is, where did the second legion they were looking for go? Definitely not at Neshin Fortress, because it has burned down over there. Mitters closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "Oh no, I'm in trouble." ”

"Quick, you go back and inform Kitt that the war is not over yet, and let them come and join me with their troops immediately." Mitters immediately yelled at a few of the scouts.

"Huh?" Of course, the scouts are also confused, their task is to drive the enemy army out of their own territory, and now the other party can't fight and retreat on their own, isn't this still a victory? What the hell is this General Mites talking about?

"Send someone quickly! Otherwise, Serrard will be lost. Miters didn't want to explain to them, so he didn't have the time yet, so he immediately shouted to the other soldiers next to him, "Go, quickly turn around, and rush back immediately." ”

Looking at Mittes' appearance, the scout also felt that the other party should not be joking. Therrard was the name of the fortress that the Fourth Legion had previously defended, and if it were lost, the consequences would be equally severe. Therefore, although they couldn't figure out what the current situation was, they still rushed to the First Legion with Mitus's herald to report the news.

Mitters, on the other hand, rushed back with his troops to the original route, although Mitters was in a hurry, but he could not fly back directly. By the time he returned to Fortress Serrard, it was almost dawn. In the pale red morning light, Mites saw the banner of the Saint-Willan Empire erected on the city walls, and yes, the fortress no longer belonged to them.

"!" Mitters punched the ground directly, although he could probably already think of this result, in order to intercept the second legion, he took most of the troops away, and there were only a small number of troops left in the stronghold, and they couldn't last long by the opponent's army, but when he really saw the opponent's flag, he still couldn't help but be angry, and he was completely tricked this time.

"How could it be ......" The adjutant next to him didn't understand what was going on, how could his stronghold suddenly be robbed.

Of course, Mitters has already figured out the whole situation, and this link is completely misled by the other party and followed the other party's trap. He didn't expect this mage corps leader to be so cunning and actually be able to play this move, of course, now he also feels that he underestimated his carelessness.

Of course, it's too late to regret it, and the current thing to think about is what to do next. Siege immediately? Mitters shook his head directly, I'm afraid this won't work, how strong his stronghold is, of course he also knows that with their current situation, they can't attack the city at all. Not to mention the road that the soldiers worked all night, they didn't have any siege equipment at all, they were originally going out to intercept the troops, who would have thought that there would be a siege battle.

What's even more troublesome is that all the baggage and other things are in the stronghold, and without it, they can't do anything at all.

After thinking about it, Mitters could only decide to surround the stronghold and wait for the First Legion to come. The First Legion had to have a baggage, a siege engine, and only when they came to converge could the siege begin.

On the other side, the water god and others in the city have just finished cleaning up, there are still a lot of remnants in the city, and they also tried to set fire to the baggage before falling into the city, fortunately, their arson is not like they burned their own fortress, they use a magic array, they just use torches to ignite the fire, and they happen to have a mage on their side, it is still very convenient to extinguish the fire, so most of the baggage is saved.

The stronghold is temporarily stable, the baggage or something has been grabbed, the water god has temporarily completed his work, and the rest depends on Ye Junwen's performance. All he could do was to hold the stronghold for a period of time afterward, which of course would not be an easy task.

"At least the first step of the plan is completely expected, and after that, it depends on the blessing of the gods." The water god looked up at the north and muttered.
