Demon Royal Family

"How to do it?" Deputy Legion Commander Ernst Barria asked. He is a member of the Baria royal family and Aiweier's cousin. He became the deputy commander at a young age. He is the pride of the royal family and is a soldier himself. A powerful swordsman.

Kane clicked on the map of the Western Territory and said slowly: "The defensive capabilities of this line of defense are very strong. The Legion cannot break through in a short time. The Spear Legion is rushing to rescue. The fighter plane is fleeting. Being delayed here is a strategic loss. Since the Pegasus Legion is squatting in the defense line, we can bypass the defense line and go straight to Luolong City, which has an empty defense."

"This is tantamount to exposing our back to the Lacese people," Ernst frowned: "If the commander of the defense line is bolder and sends troops to pursue us, we will be attacked from both sides."

Kane nodded, "So we have to stay behind. We cannot abandon the camp outside the defense line. We must keep dozens of people. Every day, we light fires and raise smoke to create the illusion that we have not left. This will confuse the commander of the defense line, the one named Ivo. Boy."

"Then we took advantage of the darkness to sneak around the defense line. The legion was divided into two units. I led one of them straight to Luolong City. The other unit set up an ambush halfway to ambush anyone who might pursue them from the defense line and catch them off guard."

Ernst's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Kane meant and said: "There are many operable aspects of this tactic."

Kane: "The initiative is in our hands. If the defense shrinks, we will attack Luolong directly. If the defense attacks, we will hit him head-on. No matter what, we will definitely get results."

The middle-level officers all admired Kane's tactical ability, thinking that Kane was worthy of being the legendary Duke of the Kingdom.

Ernst clenched his fists and pounded his breastplate, confidently saying: "I am willing to lead the troops in an ambush."

"very good."

…

For two days in a row, the Barians did not attack. After several previous victories, the guards in the territory had built up their confidence, and they all felt that this was a sign that the Barians were helpless.

That evening, Ivo came to the long wall. The guards on the wall in front did not see him and were talking among themselves.

"There was no movement from the Barians again today."

"Hmph, they must be scared."

"The lord is so powerful, even the legendary Duke of Barea can't deal with him."

Ivo walked over, and the guards hurriedly shut up and stood up straight, in awe.

"How long has it been since the enemy took action?" Ivo asked.

"It's been two days."

Ivo frowned. Time was precious to the people of Barria. He didn't believe that Kane would be silent for two days. He looked at the Barria camp from a distance and saw smoke curling up from the kitchen at dusk. The erratic smoke pillars were blown away by the wind. , it looks like the Barians are ready for dinner.

Several guards looked at the Bariya camp with some jealousy, "We are so hungry. We have to finish our guard duty before we can eat."

Ivo's face was solemn and he said: "Blow the horn, everyone gathers."

Several guards were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly blew the horns, the soldiers took action, and the higher-ups in the territory hurriedly gathered over.

As soon as they met, Severn III asked: "Lord Ivo, what happened?"

Ivo said in a serious tone, "The Barians are gone."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Ivo meant. Lucian pointed at the Baria camp, "Isn't there still smoke coming from the kitchen?"

Ivo glared at him and shouted: "Have you ever seen cooking without fragrance?"

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly lay down on the city wall and smelled the smell. Sure enough, there was no fragrance wafting out of the Baria camp. Tens of thousands of people buried pots to make rice. There was no way there was no smell.

There was only one explanation, the Barians had left.

The bear's sense of smell made Ivo very keen, and he used his sense of smell to identify the enemy's situation.

Ivo decisively ordered, "Attack everyone!"

The gates of the defensive line were opened, and the guards rushed towards the Baria camp with overwhelming force without any obstruction.

There were only a few dozen soldiers left behind in the Baria camp, and they were all captured alive. There were pots and firewood buried everywhere in the camp, which was simply confusing.

Ivo glanced at the guards on the city wall. Everyone lowered their heads in shame. They didn't notice it for two whole days. The lord only came for a few minutes and discovered the situation.

The gap is too big.

Severn III was surprised: "Where have they gone?"

"Since the camp is left to confuse us, there is only one possibility."

Ivo and Lucian looked at each other, both with heavy expressions on their faces, "They bypassed the defense line and went straight to the hinterland of the Western Territory. Their target could only be Dragonfall City."

Severn III was shocked and his eyes were horrified. Luolong City is the last big city in Lases. Most of the fleeing nobles are in Luolong City. If Luolong City is captured, the last talents and nobles of the kingdom will be lost. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, and the country was almost destroyed.

"We must not let this happen!" Lucian slapped the wall hard, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "I will immediately lead the Pegasus Legion to pursue, and we can form a two-sided attack with Luolong City!"

"It makes sense!" Severn III cheered up, "Maybe this is our chance."

The two of them became more and more excited as they talked. Ivo leaned against the wall and poured cold water on him: "Stop thinking blindly. That old man Kane has already thought of everything you can think of. I can guarantee that we will be able to reach Luolong City during the defense line." On the way, he had already laid an ambush."

The king and Lucian opened their mouths, annoyed.

Ivo touched his chin, surprised by Kane's tactical ability.

Hiding the truth, concealing secrets, and luring snakes out of their holes. Damn it, does this world have thirty-six tricks?

"Then we can't do nothing!" Lucian said.

Ivo nodded, "We need to chase time, maybe we can try... dividing the enemy and setting up an ambush to defeat him."

The two looked at each other. Although they didn't understand, they felt that Ivo already had a plan.

…

A few days later.

Kane led the Baria Legion of more than 20,000 people, marching quickly in the hinterland of the Western Territory, quickly approaching Fallen Dragon City.

He connected to the communication badge and communicated with Ernst, who was staying in an ambush halfway.

"Are there any pursuers who ambushed the defense line?"

"Not yet, we are still waiting."

"Did you find the other party?"

"The scout team did not find it"

Kane frowned. The soldiers left behind in the camp carried summons badges. When it was exposed, Kane had already received the news, which was several days ago.

The place where Ernst ambushed is only about a day's journey from the defense line. It is impossible that even the scouts did not discover it, unless the defense line chose to retreat.

Suddenly, Cainlema stopped, the calmness on his face was broken, and he was confused.

He thought of a possibility...

In a few days, he and Ernst's troops were already very far apart.

Could it be...

Kane had an expression on his mind that Ivo couldn't see through. He shuddered despite having experienced hundreds of battles, and hurriedly shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and turns around!"

He hurriedly connected to the communication badge and sent a message to Ernst.

"Abandon the ambush and rendezvous immediately."

at the same time.

To the west of the defense line is a place called Wolf Ridge, where Barea's second force is ambushed, with a total of 10,000 people.

The terrain of Langji Ridge is like the back of a wild wolf, with steep roads and dense trees, making it suitable for ambushes.

Ernst put down his messenger badge with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand why he suddenly gave up the ambush. However, the military orders were overwhelming and he was about to order a retreat. At this time, the lookout soldier suddenly whispered: "Someone is coming!"

Ernst's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly raised his head from the hillside and looked towards the road.

There were probably several thousand cavalrymen wearing Lassese armor, riding on their horses, so anxious that they wanted to break their riding whips.

Ernst recognized that these cavalry belonged to the Pegasus Legion, and his face was slightly happy. This was the best time for an ambush. In the blink of an eye, he forgot Kane's order and shouted in a low voice: "Do it!"

The Barians immediately rushed out from behind the hillside, shouting to kill and waving their flags.

Thousands of Pegasus Legion cavalry suddenly fell into chaos.
