When the sun's rays shone in the distant sky, and the entire Pami Plain showed a few glimmers of light, the soldiers who had been on the tower of Duolun all night yawned and teased each other, ready to wait for someone to change the guard.

A young soldier with a baby face said to the soldiers next to him with a smile. "You kid, when is it, and you're still in the mood to say this!" said the soldier named Lao Wang, who stretched his waist and said, "When this war is over, I will ask your sister-in-law to tell you one too." ”
"Look, what's that?" exclaimed another soldier next to him, pointing ahead. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, "Ah, it's the cavalry of the Kotru Empire!" The man named Lao Wang understood first, and shouted loudly, "Quick, warn!" A long iron line overflowed from the level of the Pami Plain, covering the sky, and soon, the silver-gray iron armor of the Kotru Empire's iron cavalry appeared on the green plain covered with green grass, and the dust and sand in the sky rose behind them. The deafening sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, and the faces of some young soldiers who had not experienced war changed color.
"Bell, bell, bell!" the bell was amplified and immediately echoed over the city of Doron. In an instant, the whole city became chaotic and noisy.
"What?, the Iron Cavalry of the Cortru Empire is now outside the East City?" asked the Captain of the Anru Legion, who had just been awakened from his sleep, while putting on his armor, as he asked the guards beside him. "Yes, it seems to be the Guards Cavalry Regiment of the Kotru Empire. The guard said.
"Hurry up and inform the commanders of the divisions and go with me to the East City Gate. Then he sent someone to call the commander of the Isu army to the east gate. Said I was waiting for him there. "Captain Anlu, who is thin and doesn't usually like to talk, has a bit of a famous general's demeanor at critical moments. After all, as the commander of the Seventh Infantry Corps of the Southern Corps, he has been guarding Duolun City for nearly 2o years, and he has experienced a lot of battles large and small.
When Anlu arrived at the East City Gate with several of his division commanders, the cavalry of the Kotru Empire had already gathered from afar, lined up in two columns, like two black dragons across the distance of Duolun City. Countless engineers were running around and busy, as if preparing to set up camp. In the distance, there were countless infantry of the Kotl Empire running continuously, and the banners raised were even more continuous, covering the sky and the sun, and from a distance, it seemed as if a colorful snake was swimming in the Pami Plain.
Seeing that the Kotru Empire had no intention of attacking immediately, Anlu also temporarily relieved himself, turned to the commanders of the divisions around him, and ordered, "Immediately report the military situation of our city to the Kamu Fortress, and ask the commander of the Judan Legion to decide." All divisions and regiments have also strengthened their guards day and night, and there must be no slackness in the slightest, otherwise military law will be involved!" The generals replied and went down to make arrangements.
"According to the secret report from Detro, the two infantry legions of the left army of the Cortru Empire have been camped less than 5 miles from the front of the city of Detro, but the two cavalry corps are camped 1o miles from the right side of the city of Detro. The right army also detoured to the right at the same time, and the three infantry regiments were camped less than two miles in front of Duolun City, among which the 50,000 Guards Cavalry Regiment led by Marshal Max himself was encamped about 1o kilometers to the left of Duolun City!" Lieutenant General Aura said coldly, pointing to the huge topographical strategy map hanging in the conference hall. The black scar on his face was particularly striking at this moment.
Hearing this, General Yudan, who was dressed in armor, let out a "huh" unconsciously, and his face became solemn. Shaking his head as he thought about it, his somewhat gray eyebrows furrowed tightly. Several senior generals of the Black Wolf Army sitting in the lower seats also discussed softly, "The wastes of the Kotru Empire have also learned to be obedient this time, but this arrangement does not look like an offense, but rather a defense!" Major General Keelung, a reckless First Infantry Division, said first. It turned out that in many previous wars, the attack of the Kotru Empire was either to contain the two wings and attack the Kham fortress in the center, or to surround the Khammu fortress and attack the cities of Detroit and Duolun on the two wings. But if only one side of this attack is frustrated, then the other two sieges will not be attacked. And now the Cortru Empire has put on a strange defensive posture, which has confused these battle-hardened veterans...
"The two lines of infantry surround but do not attack, and the middle two lines of cavalry are mobile support, which is indeed a good defensive formation, but the attacking side of this war is the Kotru Empire, is there any benefit to them in dragging it out like this?" The commanders of several other divisions also expressed their opinions, but all of them did not know much about the arrangement of the Kotru Empire.
The commander of the Judan legion ignored these generals who were still arguing, and called the clerk next to him and ordered, "Pass the order, the two legions of the Eastern Legion that are about to arrive will support the cities of Deth and Duolun respectively, and send fast horses to urge the Wild Lion Legion to rush to the Kamu fortress as soon as possible, and the cities will be on guard, especially the important strategic facilities such as grain warehouses and water sources must be strictly guarded." The shortage of manpower is made up by mercenary groups. The various divisions under the Black Wolf Legion were also ready for battle, and increased their manpower to keep a close eye on the movements of the Imperial cavalry of the Kotru Empire. Do you understand?!" All the generals responded with a bang and walked out of the conference hall. But the captain of the Judan army walked to the window alone and looked out of the window with a solemn face. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a pale yellow veil on the turquoise plain, and a breeze came, and the commander of the Judan army trembled a few times, and sighed secretly, "What should come is still coming!"
"Minte City! Minte City!" shouted a logistics officer who was equipping the mercenaries with military supplies. Linghu stabbed Xius, who was chatting with Cole, "Yes!" Xius reflexively cried. The gruff voice drew sideways glances from the other mercenaries around them. It turned out that today Captain Wei Ze called Xiusi to receive the equipment of the mercenary group, and Xiusi was afraid that he would not understand, so he pulled Linghu Jue over.
"It's you!" the quartermaster shouted as he squeezed forward, then looked around. Finally, his eyes stayed on Linghu Jue's cold face, and he nodded viciously. Ling Hu Jue also felt that this officer was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember seeing it there. "Look at his demeanor, it seems that I have offended him!" Ling Hu Jue thought secretly, but he didn't care.
Back at the camp, the mercenaries shouted loudly when they saw that they had brought back some rough equipment such as rattan armor and wooden shields. Ling Hu Jue was a little impatient when he heard this, so he walked out of the camp, preparing to find a quiet place to cultivate the Demon Moon True Qi. As soon as Ling Hu Jue walked out of the camp, he ran into Captain Wei Ze head-on, "Ah Jue, I was just looking for you, the division commander just gave me a task, and asked you to go." Wei Ze grabbed Ling Hujue, who wanted to dodge, and said softly. "What mission, why do you want me to go?" Linghu Jue felt a little strange, so he stopped and asked. "I don't know why I named you, do you think they heard about it last time?" Captain Wei Ze said cautiously, "As for what the mission, I'll tell you in detail when I return to the camp." After saying that, he picked up Linghu Jue and walked towards the camp.
