Under the leadership of Marshal Betty, the remaining army of the Holy Romans shrank back to the hill where they had been stationed, reinforced the outer walls of the barracks, deepened the trenches, and assumed a posture of full defense.

The Illyrian coalition army was busy clearing the remaining enemies in the port of Mia and cleaning up the battlefield, coupled with the lack of troops, and was unable to take the initiative to attack for a while. As a result, the battlefield was temporarily calm, and both sides were stepping up their preparations while eyeing each other, waiting for the other side to reveal their flaws in order to take the initiative again.

It was close to noon, and Prince Attila, who was stationed near Black Dragon Town, had already received the good news that Elrens and the others had won a great victory and annihilated 35,000 enemies. The eldest prince, who was in an excited mood, and his subordinate general Hulegu and his sister Princess Hulan got together to drink and celebrate.

After three rounds of drinking, Hülegü raised his glass and congratulated Attila: "Your Highness, this time Betty's army has suffered a heavy defeat in Illyria, and less than a third of its troops are left, and it is not far from the destruction of the entire army. Next, the main army of Holy Rome on the front line of Thermopylae Pass has no left flank cover, and we only need to wait until their battle is at its most fierce and suddenly take advantage of the situation, and we will definitely be able to turn the situation around in one fell swoop! If the main force of Holy Rome is defeated under Thermopay, then the time has come for our Golden Horde to achieve complete independence, and this is all due to the painstaking planning of Your Royal Highness the Great Prince!"

Attila also smiled and nodded, "You are right! Holy Rome has always been riding on our heads, and it is really hateful to regard us as barbarians! We have waited for this day for too long, and now we finally see the hope of success." But this credit is by no means for me alone, and if it weren't for the full support of you and my brothers, how could I have today's opportunity?"

Speaking of which. Both of them burst out laughing. At this time, Hu Lan saw that they were chatting so happily, and couldn't help but interject: "In this case, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and attack with all the troops, and completely wipe out the little remaining Beatty men and horses in one go!"

Hearing this, Attila put down his wine glass, frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is not in a hurry, although Betty suffered a big defeat, the losses were mainly light infantry. The reloaded elite is still there. If we attack lightly at this time, I am afraid that even if we can win, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. It's not too late for them to fight the Illyrian army again. ”

"But. What if they can't fight?" Hu Lan blinked his eyes wide and said, "In this way, when will we be able to achieve the final victory?"

Attila and Hülegü groaned, they also hoped to achieve victory as much as possible, but this was related to the fortunes of the Golden Horde. It's not in a hurry. Just as they pondered how to answer. A guard came in from outside the tent and shouted: "Your Highness, Marshal Betty of Holy Rome has sent someone to ask for an audience!"

"Huh?" Attila was stunned, and then couldn't help but look at Hulegu suspiciously, and said, "What is this Holy Roman envoy doing, is it that Betty's old guy is so stupid that he hasn't seen the flaw at this time, so why don't we take it as an ally?"

Hülegü was also very puzzled, pinched his chin and thought about it before replying: "Could it be that Betty noticed the truth." In anger, they sent people to scold us? No, no...... He shouldn't be so boring, I guess he should have doubts by now. But I'm not sure yet. This time, they are probably sending someone to test us. ”

The eldest prince nodded, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, let the messenger come in and see what tricks he is going to play!"

The messenger of Holy Rome soon entered the main tent, a middle-aged knight who was covered in blood and tattered armor, and looked very wolfy. Attila pretended not to know, and asked with a surprised face: "What is the matter with Your Excellency, why did you do it like this, could it be that you met the enemy's guerrillas on the road?"

The middle-aged knight shook his head, fell to the ground with a grief-stricken expression, and whimpered, "Your Highness!

"What?!" Hulegü exclaimed in a pretentious exclamation, "Marshal Betty is very experienced, and his troops are ten times more powerful than the enemy, how could he fall for the enemy's tricks so lightly? ”

The middle-aged knight sighed and said, "At the beginning, our progress was very smooth, and we occupied the port of Mia. Unexpectedly, the enemy had already seen through our plan, and laid the main force in ambush under the harbor, and suddenly killed us while we were resting! We were caught off guard and suffered more than 10,000 casualties. After the enemy annihilated the garrison in Mia Harbor, they tried to take advantage of the victory to attack our camp on the hill, but fortunately the soldiers fought bravely and repelled them. Now that the two sides are evenly matched, they are facing each other, and there will definitely be a fierce battle ahead!"

Attila nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect that the enemy would be so cunning. For the past two days, I have been besieging Heilong Town with troops at the request of His Excellency the Marshal, and I did not expect that the enemy was also bluffing and completely hiding me in the dark! I knew this earlier, I had taken Heilong Town down at the beginning, and then personally led the army to Mia Harbor to help in the battle, so that the enemy would not have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

The middle-aged general immediately said: "Your Highness, it's not too late now! Although we have encountered setbacks, we still have more than 30,000 elites! And now that the enemy's main force has all gathered in the port of Miya, which has no danger to defend, as long as Your Highness, you immediately lead the army to join us, and when the time comes, the enemy will definitely be defeated!"

When Attila and Hülegü heard this, they looked at each other and were even more puzzled. Is this Marshal Betty stupid in the head, and at this time he actually wants them to lead troops to the rescue. This is not very reasonable, could it be that there is some other conspiracy in it?

Hülegü secretly glanced at him, and the eldest prince replied with a cough: "No problem, you report to Your Excellency the Marshal immediately, and our Golden Horde will immediately set off, and the whole army will go to Miya Harbor to join forces with your army to completely destroy the enemy!"
