Two days passed quickly, and during these two days, the borders of the empire were surprisingly peaceful. After the attack of the Segus Empire on the first day, they did not attack for the next two days, until the afternoon of the second day, when one of them arrived in the military camp of the Segus Empire.

"Welcome to Ramirez, Lord Swordmaster." As the commander of the legion, Monterey actually greeted this person outside the barracks this time, and what appeared in front of him was a tall man, who was only wearing light armor, but carrying a huge two-handed sword on his back, exuding an unusual momentum, he was the Ramirez Sword Master, a legendary figure born in the Cygus Empire.

"Monterey, long time no see." The other party seemed to be an old acquaintance with Monterey, and when he saw him, he waved his hand very casually, "I heard that there is a dragon knight on the other side?" ”

"Yes, we saw a dragon that was not yet fully grown into the enemy's barracks, which is why we bothered you to come here." Monterey said that although Monterey's age seems to be older than Ramirez's Sword Master, the actual situation is that the life span will be extended after the saint level, and the aging rate on the appearance will also slow down, so in fact, the actual age of Ramirez Sword Saint is a generation older than Monterey, and Monterey has no problem taking the gift of junior.

"I've also heard that the marshal of the Saint-Willan Empire seems to have a dragon." The Ramirez Sword Saint here, nodded, "I didn't expect it to be true, Dragon Knight, I haven't seen it for many years." ”

"If the enemy summons a dragon to attack us, please help." Monterey said.

"That's natural." Ramiriz Sword Saint nodded, "I'm here because of this matter, and of course I've also reported it to the Saint-level Alliance, so don't worry, once the other party really sends the dragon to attack, I will stop him." ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Monterey said, yes, with the Holy Rank in charge, he can finally attack with peace of mind. In the past two days, he was indeed very worried that this situation would occur, in case the enemy really sent a dragon to attack their main camp, it would be really difficult for them to resist, and they would have to find a way to run away at that time. But the enemy didn't do this, and it was probably a matter of estimating the Saint-level Alliance. And Monterey didn't overly irritate them, so they didn't attack for the past two days.

Of course, now that the Sword Master has arrived, there is no such scruples, so Monterey here also immediately ordered to prepare to attack the city. Although it was already afternoon, Monterey had been waiting for two days, and he could not wait any longer, and ordered an immediate siege of the city.

"The other party is going to attack the city!" At this time, the soldiers on the city wall also saw this situation.

"Then retreat quickly, everyone obeys my orders and acts immediately." A squad leader here immediately said.

Yes, at this time, most of the people of the Fourth Army are no longer in the fortress, yesterday the large army has left the fortress, and the remaining group of people is only responsible for confusing the enemy army, if they all withdraw directly, of course the enemy will find out immediately, but if you leave a little people, the enemy will not be able to find it for a while.

As the commander of the corps said, I don't know why the enemy didn't attack during this time, and only now did they start to organize an attack, and they also obeyed Gove's orders, once the enemy began to organize and prepare for the siege, they immediately retreated, of course, they didn't need to join the large army, just retreat in the other direction, because the enemy's troops would definitely only chase the large army, so their retreat was very safe.

Because they had already prepared, the speed of retreat was still very fast, and by the time the enemy troops began to attack, the rest of the people in the fortress had already left the fortress and fled. And at this time, the troops of the Saigus Empire on the opposite side also discovered that something was wrong.

"Marshal, something is wrong with the enemy." The soldiers hurried to report to Monterey.

Monterey hurriedly looked at the situation, originally he didn't think that he could capture the fortress today, so he sent out the main force of consumption, and the same as the plan, first consume the defensive resources of the fortress, and then capture the fortress in one go, this is the established plan, so Monterey didn't even bother to supervise the battle this time, but when he went out to take a look now, he immediately found that something was wrong, how could there be no enemy soldiers on this city wall.

Yes, his side is preparing to attack the city with great fanfare, and it stands to reason that the enemy's troops will definitely gather on the city wall, and then prepare for defense, the city wall should be crowded, and now from his side, it seems that there is no one on the city wall, which is indeed very weird.

"Regardless of the enemy, go straight to the attack." Monterey was unmoved, after all, most of these troops today are also troops sent to death, which are used for consumption, so even if the enemy has any tricks, then death will be dead, and it is not an elite unit, it is nothing remarkable, at most it will be completely destroyed, he is not unacceptable. So with a wave of his hand, the horn of attack sounded next to him, and the large army advanced towards the city wall.

However, what happened made Monterey even more confused, the troops were already close to the city wall, and at this time, according to the normal situation, arrows were already raining around. What reason does the other party have not to release the arrows, Monterey really doesn't know, is it preparing to wait for their troops to get closer and save ammunition? Anyway, it has nothing to do with him anyway, keep attacking.

However, until their siege engines were pushed in front of the enemy's city gate, his troops were still not attacked, which made him even more strange, this siege vehicle had already reached the enemy's gate, and the general situation would not be poured on it to ignite the siege vehicle? If you don't burn this, isn't the city gate dangerous? And what about the enemy's archery troops?

Not only did the enemy not attack, but neither did the well-fence troops on Monterey's side, because there was no one on the city wall at all, it was empty. The silence of the battlefield scared Monterey a little, and the more strange the enemy behaved, the more he couldn't understand what was going on.

"Marshal, this is not right." The adjutant next to him also said.

"I know, wait." Monterey looked calm, at least he couldn't show too much panic in front of his subordinates, but in fact, he was also a little panicked in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on with the enemy.

"Report, the ladder has been erected."

"Report that our vanguard has successfully climbed the walls."

"Report, the enemy's gates have been breached."

Soon, good news came, yes, in the face of the undefended city, their attack was of course smooth sailing. Since no one was against the gates, the fortified gates were quickly smashed by siege engines, and the soldiers climbed the walls and now entered the city.

"Did you spot the enemy?" Monterey asked.

"No enemies were found." The soldier here replied.

Monterey still didn't know what was going on, but he was very careful, and in this case he did not send troops into the city, but let the siege troops in front continue to search inside the fortress, on the one hand, to search for the enemy, and on the other hand, to check whether there were any ambushes and so on.

Then another half hour of waiting, of course, the search yielded no results. Yes, there was no one in the fortress, it had completely become an empty city, and when he heard the news, Monterey realized that he had been tricked, and it was estimated that the troops of the Fourth Legion had already left the fortress, and he himself had never found out.

"These cowards, I guess they were scared off by us." A general here said with a laugh.

"......" Monterey stared at the other party, he had fought with Goff more than once, knowing that this guy could not be a coward, this must be a planned retreat, and even set up a plan to hide from the world, leaving some soldiers as misleading, because after careful inspection, they found that the enemy was estimated to have been walking for more than a day.

So the question arises, why did the other side retreat and where to retreat? Monterey felt that it was not a good thing for him to take this fortress, and if it was not for a purpose, the enemy would certainly not abandon this good fortress and leave.

"Report, Marshal, find traces of the enemy's retreat, in the direction of the north-northeast." One of his soldiers reported, "Judging by the traces, it's probably been a day's errand." ”

"Damn!" Monterey slammed the table, and he was playing like an idiot, this Goff was really daring. After thinking about it, Monterey said, "The whole army has it, pursue it immediately!" ”

"Marshal, will you pursue it immediately?" The adjutant next to him asked, "We've already taken this fortress, aren't we going to tidy it up here for a while?" ”

"I don't know why the enemy is retreating, but it's definitely not a good thing." "We must not let this force go, and if they are going back to join up with the rest of the troops, it will not be good news for us, the enemy has only been gone for a day now, and we have a chance to catch up and pursue them immediately." ”

"Yes, sir." Although the lieutenant marshal was a little puzzled, he still obeyed Monterey's order, and immediately ordered the troops to be integrated and set off, and chased in the direction where the Fourth Army had left. Of course, although it is a pursuit, Monterey is still very careful, the enemy is not a rout, so it is possible to ambush them, and when encountering the kind of terrain that seems to be more suitable for ambush, Monterey will also be careful to let the reconnaissance troops see clearly before letting the large force advance, but they always find that they are about a day's distance gap with the troops in front, that is, they can't catch up.

And at this time, the troops of the Fourth Army Corps in front were also close to the garrison of the troops of the Third Army Corps.
