Upon returning to the camp, I immediately summoned the staff to plan a new battle plan, and prepared detailed countermeasures for every possible tactic adopted by the enemy.

There is no doubt that after our side shows its real main force, the enemy's counterattack will be extremely fierce.

And they have a lot of troops at their disposal, and most of them will use steady tactics to eat us in one bite.

It was a chore for the soldiers to use all kinds of tools to build traps in the wasteland, but they were deeply shocked by the great effect of traps in the previous battle, and they were sweating like rain without complaining, and now they were afraid that the traps were not big enough and not deep enough...... These guys were originally slave farmers, and they had been working on civil engineering for a while before the war, and in a few days they had dug up a wasteland full of holes.

Officers are much busier than soldiers, they have become accustomed to their duties, and their professional characteristics are gradually revealed.

……

"How can you tell that the commander is from the Scout?" If you ask the soldiers, they will say to you, "See for yourself! 」

The soldiers were right, because the officers up and down the reconnaissance regiment always felt that there was not enough time, and their eyes were bloodshot...... In a short period of time, they covered the entire wasteland with their reconnaissance system, and thousands of pairs of eyes watched the vast area - from the coastline on the right to the city of Savon on the left, where enemy troops were stationed...... Hundreds of pieces of information come back every day, to say the least.

After screening, valuable intelligence is sent directly to the General Staff.

……

"How can you tell which officer is from the General Staff?"

"Do you see anyone who accidentally shoves food into their nostrils when eating, hits a wall when they walk, wears their shoes backwards a lot, and slaps themselves every now and then...... That's the chief of staff!"

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's mostly true. The officers of the General Staff were full of the balance of forces between the enemy and the enemy, tactical coordination, and formation selection. Often, tactics that took days to come up with are overturned by a piece of new information...... Circling around the map all day. I didn't have a chance to care about myself at all. Except for planning operations, he is absent-minded about doing anything else.

The soldiers treat these actions of the officers with a kind of gratitude and respect from the bottom of their hearts, they will leave the most delicious food for the officers, they will hold the officers who are about to hit the wall, and they will put the things that the officers need in the most convenient places...... Because they know that every effort of the officers is aimed at protecting everyone's lives.

For the other generals, the time was coming. The atmosphere in the camp must have been depressing. But at this time, the atmosphere in my camp was extremely harmonious, the order of eating and sleeping was orderly, the morale of training and attendance was high, and the soldiers who violated military law were almost extinct!

Because what unites the hearts of soldiers now is not food, nor military law, but a sincere emotion!

"You, they" was the most common word used by soldiers to address officers in the past, but now it has been gradually replaced by "we, we".

With the change of these words, the army has also completed its final transformation, from a scattered Ninth Legion of the Divine Alliance Army to an elite army loyal only to me, and has become as sharp as a black iron knife on my back!

But it's disheartening...... There are more and more people who like to be kicked by me. If you want to do one kick every day, you can be busy from morning to dark.

But when the timing is right. I still slap them on the head, kick them in the ass, and scold them. Because I understand that such an act makes them feel cared for and a sense of belonging.

Most of them are outcasts on the dividing line between gods and demons, and they are beings abandoned by gods and demons, and after seeing a glimmer of hope here, what they fear most is to be abandoned again.

The messenger who arrived before the Demon Alliance was from Garya.

There was quite a lot of letterhead, and in addition to the greetings of the three wives and the questioning of a lovely businesswoman, there were also letters from Fichette...... And, of course, bullshit orders from the military department.

Let's look at the order first!

"To the Commander of the Ninth Legion of the Divine Alliance, God-bless Knight Cohen. H.E. Qaida: ...... The final decisive battle has begun, under the fierce attack of the Divine Alliance, the Demon Coalition is making the last and senseless resistance, I believe that after the end of this battle, the light will always shine on the demarcation line between the gods and demons! Because of the fierce fighting on the front line, the Ninth Army must take the initiative to attack on the day this order arrives, contain all the Fifth Theater of the Demon Coalition in the territory of the Camp Empire, and once again completely destroy the supply line of the Demon Alliance......

Except for this short passage, which can also be seen to be an order, the rest of the text is full of sensational words full of religious characteristics, and the fanatical Cheng dù is more than a hundred times stronger than the sensual love letters written by men and women in love, but the signature is still Karl. Prince Ulysses.

"Shit!" I cursed, gave me one last look at the command to make sure I hadn't missed anything, and crumpled the command that was giving me goosebumps to the ground and held it in my palm.

As soon as I contemplated it, the paper ball ignited...... Well, it seems that Young Master Ben's magic has improved recently.

Complacently blowing away the ashes from my hand, I picked up Fichette's letter and read it, but this time the more I looked at it, the heavier my heart sank.

At the same time as I won the battle, the war between gods and demons was also in full swing, and on the front of thousands of miles, the losses on both sides were very large. Before the war, more than half of the nearly two million troops on both sides had been killed or wounded...... And in comparison, the Divine Alliance is even more wolf-like, and has already suffered several big defeats in a row, and the defense line is on the verge of collapse!

Fichette warned me that although the Divine Coalition was still attacking, this was already the last impact, and the Divine Coalition would have to withdraw for another half a month at most...... At that time, the Demon Alliance will be able to free up their hands to clean me up, and I will be asked to find a way to retreat immediately!

No one expected the Divine Coalition to be defeated so quickly, but Fischett's information was the most credible, and I had no reason not to accept the advice he had proposed. And this letter that has been in my hands has taken nearly ten days on the road!

"Herald, go and call Carlos!" I shouted outside, and was annoyed by the second thing Fischette had written.

In Karl. After Prince Ulysses strictly arranged a group of officials sent by His Royal Highness, the Temple of Paradise Island immediately reacted.

On the night. The three cardinal priests came to see the Protoss of Light. Ask the Protoss of Light to punish Karl severely. Prince Ulysses. But with the intervention of the god of war, this request was not accepted by the Protoss - it was undoubtedly foolish to punish the Supreme Commander during the Great War, but the prince was still recalled home.

When the punishment of the prince did not achieve its goal, the cardinal priests made another request to the Light Protoss, asking for a reduction in the number of Blessed Knights, especially since no empire could have two or more Blessed Knights at the same time!

Obviously, the person they were directly going to deal with was me!, but I don't know what the Bright Protoss had in mind to agree to the temple's request. The goddess Charlotte sent a letter directly to His Majesty Kremmer, asking Her Majesty to choose among the two Divine Knights of the Empire.

Because Fischette will inherit the royal power in the future, it doesn't matter whether he has the identity of a blessed knight or not, so His Majesty asked Fichette to hand over the armor and sword of the blessed knight...... Although neither His Majesty nor Fischette cared very much, this abnormal deprivation of rights was something that every nobleman could not accept calmly, and it was a shame!

I won't let you go!

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Carlos walked in.

"Carlos, things have changed," I nodded to him, "we're going to retreat immediately!"

"In such a hurry?" saw the grim look on my face, and Carlos froze.

"Yes. We are going to immediately retreat to Garia. I said, "The war on the dividing line between gods and demons may be over!"

"The end?"

"This is a letterhead from ten days ago. I shook the letter in my hand, "I'm sure we're in a dangerous situation right now, and if we are surrounded by the Demon Alliance, we'll be dead!"

"I'll arrange it right away!" said Carlos, and Marfa walked in from outside.

"Boss, new informants!" Marfa said nervously, "We've spotted the enemy. 」

"How many?"

"Now we have found enemies from two directions, one of them is Gironde from the realm of Kamp, who is coming towards us with all his men," said Marfa, "and the other is from the line between gods and demons, and it is still a day away from Shavin!"

"Where's the number?"

"There are about 200,000 men on the Girondin's side, mainly infantry. Marfa said, "There are about 100,000 troops on the line between gods and demons, and there are three legions, cavalry, infantry, and special troops! 」

I was shocked in my heart, the Demon Alliance could already draw troops from the front line! In this way, the defeat of the God Alliance was decided!

"Carlos, order the troops to retreat immediately! Burn down the camp, and I'll take the four guards to break off!"

Order Helt and his troops to go behind Gironde's ass and set a fire, and then go straight back to Garia by sea!" I said categorically, "Marfa, tell your men to cheer up! Keep an eye on everything!"

"Yes!"

While the troops were preparing, a steady stream of follow-up information about the two enemy armies came to me.

The enemy forces coming from the demarcation line between gods and demons are moving very fast, as most of them are cavalry, and it seems that they want to cut off our retreat. As for Gironde, who had come from the interior of Kamp, he had divided his army into two routes, fifty miles from the left and right, and pressed towards us with great force.

Judging by the posture of these two enemies, they must have drawn up this battle plan a long time ago. Now that the conditions are ripe, even Gironde, who is not out of action, has come to join in the fun with all his belongings.

And the battlefield I designed can only accommodate a maximum of 100,000 enemy troops, and I can't guarantee victory with an extra 20,000 or 30,000, not to mention that the enemy is now more than 300,000!

"Boss!" Marfa rushed to my side again, "Gironde's troops have split up again, and they are coming quite quickly!"

"What's the panic?!" I took the information from Marfa and glanced back at Karos, "How are the troops preparing?"

"The reconnaissance force has already been dispatched, and the vanguard has already set out," Carlos said to me, "and in half an hour, the equipment that cannot be taken away will be completely destroyed, and the rest of the troops should be ready!"

I looked at the officers who were around me: "Except for the troops who are left behind, all of you follow Carlos, I want you to reach the rendezvous point in the shortest possible time!

Moya looked at me and said, "Sir, I can't let you stay behind. Replace me!"

"Yes, come for me!"

"It's better to change me!"

The officers were babbling and trying to convince me to go first.

"Shut up!" I glanced around with a sharp eye, "for you idiots to stay." The 10,000-strong army will be dead!

The officers were kicked out of the door by me.

"Carlos. I grabbed Carlos and whispered to him, "Help me watch these idiots. 」

"I understand," Carlos nodded vigorously, "Sir, be careful. 」

"Don't worry," I smiled, "Young Master Ben won't die so easily. 」

Seeing the last troops leave, I gave the order to set fire.

The entire camp was set on fire, and the high columns of smoke were clearly visible for dozens of miles, which was enough to entice Gironde's forwards to pick up the pace.

If I take out this striker. Gironde would slow down a little when he chased me.

My four Guards Regiment had been in a cave three miles from the camp, waiting for Gironde's forwards.

The camp was all wooden, so the fire was fierce and burned for an afternoon...... Just as the fire was about to be extinguished, Gironde's five thousand forward troops had already appeared.

After some probing, they approached the camp very cautiously, carefully inspecting every nook and cranny of the camp without letting go of any suspicious points.

Soon, they came to a conclusion, and several fast horses galloped back. Bring Gironde the news that we have escaped.

I stared at the enemy's vanguard and watched their next move—a moment later. They began to move, and the whole force came towards us.

When they were a mile and a half away from us, our archers shot their arrows!

A dense stream of feathered arrows swept across the sky, and in the distance only a large blur of black could be seen enveloping the enemy...... According to my thoughts, there should be few enemies left after a few rounds of bows and arrows.

However, I was wrong this time!

The enemy's reaction was beyond my expectations. The soldiers in the front row shouted warning and raised their large shields at the same time, and then dozens of magic enchantments of different colors appeared in the sky above the enemy army!

In the blink of an eye, our feathered arrows were flying in front of the enemy's eyes.

Although the enemy was protected by shields, the three-edged arrows with great lethality still caused them heavy casualties, and in the midst of the noise, a large number of enemy troops in the front row fell in unison.

As our archers were about to shoot a second round of arrows, one of the enemy generals let out a loud cry, and the soldiers immediately rushed towards us with a shout.

A moment later, more than 300 enemy soldiers dressed in bright red crossed the rest of the enemy army and rushed to the front!

Although the Demon Alliance has always been debauched, there is no need for soldiers to wear such exaggerated and conspicuous clothes, right? Could it be that these red-clothed warriors have a special identity? Looking at their incredible speed, I am even more sure of this idea......

"Be careful!" I shouted, "Elven archers are targeting the cardinals!mages ready for melee support, front-row soldiers ready to engage the enemy!"

The soldiers who had emerged from the hole in front of them formed a rapid formation with lightning speed—pikemen crouched on the ground, magicians blessing them with magic, and elven archers, who had moved their bows down, aiming at the red-clad warriors who had burst forward.

Even in this time of extreme tension, the elves' movements were still unhurried, and they pulled the strings and opened their bows as usual, pushing their arms and shoulders...... But I know that this is exactly what they are extremely involved in!

The sound of the bowstring trembling was heard, but the feathered arrows had already flown out.

The elven archers on my side shoot well, and the red-clothed samurai dodge even more staggeringly!

Some of the red-clad warriors leaped to their feet, their bodies spinning in the air to dodge the feathered arrows that came at them.

The other part of them was to bend their bodies and glide rapidly on the ground, and most of them avoided the feathered arrows. As for the remaining red-clothed warriors, they stood up one after another, used the weapons in their hands to pull up pieces of silver aperture, and struck away the feathered arrows that flew in front of them one by one.

After this round of arrow rain, only more than thirty red-clothed warriors fell to the ground. And these monsters are incredibly fast, and they can shoot up to two arrows at them!

"The archers continue to shoot the other enemies!The pikemen lean forward!The axe throwers come forward to support!The magician casts the support spell and immediately moves to the defense!" I shouted, constantly adjusting my deployment: "All knives in the back row are equipped with hilts! Don't let the enemy red-clad warriors rush through the line!"

The sword of the officer in the front pressed downward: "Forward-forward!"

"Forward, forward, forward!" The pikemen stood up and began to recoil, spear in hand! The mage blessed them with melee magic, and the five columns of pikemen in front of them began to glow with brilliant colors, like a seven-colored rainbow pressing on the enemy.

The sound of a dense bowstring tremor was heard again, and another feathered arrow flew over the pikemen's heads towards the enemy.

More than a hundred elven archers were already floating slightly, and the last time they fired a salvo of bows and arrows at the red-clothed warrior was not effective, which made their expressions extremely grim.

This time, their feathered arrows were faintly glowing with magical light...... Then there was a flash of bright light, and the feather arrow had already flown out at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to see!

The cardinals still dodge the same way they did last time, but this time, they underestimated my elven archers!

Some of the red-clothed samurai were pierced by the feather arrows before they could jump, and many of the red-clothed samurai who were gliding on the ground were instantly frozen into large ice blocks by the magic arrows, and it was even worse if they tried to knock the feathered arrows away...... The arrows were knocked away, and their entire bodies were torn to pieces by the magic attached to the feathered arrows!

This time, there were more than a hundred and so red-clothed warriors, and I couldn't help but shout, "Good!"

The remaining hundred or so red-clothed warriors, they rushed to the line of pikemen without saying a word. I finally saw the weapons in their hands - they were two long knives!

"Kill!" the soldier in front of us stabbed his spear out.

About half of the red-clad warriors leaped into the air, and they rolled in the air, landing behind the pikemen. The red-clothed warriors who did not leap up, the two long knives in their hands drew large and small circles, and the spears that stabbed at them were opened.

"What a monster is this!" I shouted, "Spearmen hold on, the ones behind me will chop them up with knives!"

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it...... It's just a hundred or so enemy troops, and they will inflict so many casualties on my soldiers!

The red-clothed warriors who fell behind the pikemen immediately spun their bodies at high speed like a wind and pressed towards the pikemen, and the flashes of swords flashed, and many pikemen in the back row were killed before they could turn around.

The red-clothed warriors in front took full advantage of the lance's inflexible characteristics and rushed to the pikemen with their agility, and the two long knives flew up and down...... After a knife is slashed, or it moves sideways or backwards, it is immediately left, and there is no chance for our soldiers to fight back!

And every time they slash a sword, one of our soldiers will fall—the cold light will shine, and it will never miss! (To be continued......
