Lord of the North

"My lord, the army is ready, we can evacuate." The Andean knight came to the Grand Duke Cameron and said respectfully.

"How are the soldiers calming down?"

"We have already passed on the information. We didn't explain our plan. We just said that we will carry out a strategic transfer. The high-level officials have other plans." The Andean knight said: "The order is to return to stabilize the situation in the occupied area."

"Well, let's go down." Grand Duke Cameron waved his hand. This former capable man did not support his orders very much recently, which made Grand Duke Cameron very dissatisfied.

The Andean knight retreated after bowing and saluting, but after walking out of the military tent, he turned his head and looked at it with a complex expression, and sighed softly. If this continues, the tens of thousands of troops will definitely be buried in the Lopez battlefield.

I don't know why, but Grand Duke Cameron was still a wise leader when the war just started, but after a while he became irritable, erratic, and even defiant.

"You have really changed..." The Andean knight raised his foot and left. He really couldn't believe it. The Grand Duke Cameron inside had changed from a heroic military strategist to a great success today.

Although they were going to retreat temporarily, the work of the messengers was still carried out seriously. It didn't take long before the military camp began to retreat. If you look down from the sky, you can see the order of their army, just like a group of ants.

Everyone performed their duties in an orderly manner without any confusion. In the entire barracks, there were only the voices of the commander's orders, the neighing of war horses, the sound of armor rubbing, and the footsteps of tens of thousands of people.

It can be seen from this that it is not unreasonable for the army of the Lion Principality to be tyrannical.

It's just that their flags seemed a bit scattered, and they felt out of place with the neat army, and some tents and some damaged equipment were not taken away.

On the wall of the megalithic fortress, Thatcher and a group of nobles hid in the tower and watched from a distance.

"My lord, it seems that their morale has not been lowered by the defeat in this war." A young nobleman said confidently, as if he had seen through the whole situation.

"Hmph, didn't you see that their flags are all scattered?" Another middle-aged nobleman with a short beard snorted coldly, secretly thinking that the young man was inexperienced, and immediately refuted. And took advantage of the situation to request Thatcherqi: "My lord, please let me lead the troops to pursue now, and we will definitely achieve great results."

"Wait." Thatcherki narrowed his eyes and looked at the orderly retreating army in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Send scout cavalry to observe them from a distance. Let's go down and have a look now." He said that at this juncture, we need to be very cautious. If the enemy really retreats because of defeat, it is indeed a good opportunity to pursue them.

"Yes, my lord." A knight behind him responded immediately, then turned around and arranged to go.

Not long after, a group of people rode out of the fortress under the protection of the cavalry and came to the abandoned barracks of the Lion Principality.

"My lord, there are very few stoves they have used recently." A knight walked quickly to the place where the soldiers were cooking for the soldiers in the barracks, knelt down and touched the burning materials left in these simple earthen stoves, and immediately got up Shout out to Thatcher.

"My lord, it's obvious that they had no choice but to retreat because of lack of food!" The young nobleman who spoke before immediately spoke again excitedly.

What he didn't know was that he was secretly despised by the nobles around him. If you show yourself so eagerly, you will steal the limelight from the marquis.

The young nobleman's name is Webb Perry, a newly promoted earl. He inherited his father's title. Due to the unstable foundation of the family, he urgently wants a big contribution to stabilize the family's position.

And his family is not very supportive of the Phil and Garcia families.

"Earl Webb." Thatchelch stroked his mustache,

Put away his signature smile, and said seriously: "You can go to the commander of the vanguard army to chase after the troops of the Lion Principality. I can give you five thousand troops, and the soldiers you brought will total almost eight thousand." Man, can it be done?"

"No problem at all, thank you sir!" Webb was overjoyed when he heard that, nearly ten thousand soldiers chasing down the demoralized less than fifty thousand defeated army was simply a mission that fell from the sky.

"Viscount Ward, Viscount Stone, you two nobles, go out with him." Thatcherch thought for a while and said, so that 8,000 soldiers were gathered together, and the command of the army could not be completely left to Wei Wei. In the hands of Earl Bu.

"Yes, my lord." The two viscounts agreed with a sad face. They didn't want to take part in the task of chasing the enemy, but if they could refuse the Marquis Thatchelch at other times, it would seem rude. requirements.

It's a pity that this is a time of war. If they were killed for disobeying military orders, they would have no place to reason.

"Go and prepare." Thatcher Qi waved his hands, but he didn't intend to leave and return.

"Then let's go back and deploy our troops first." Webb bowed and saluted, then turned around and left in a hurry. He believed that the pursuit of the enemy before they were prepared could achieve the greatest effect.

The other two nobles behind them followed immediately, but resentment flashed in their eyes.

"Hmph, young." After they left, a die-hard Thatcherish supporter couldn't help but snorted coldly, probably mocking Earl Webb's ignorance of current affairs.

"Yes, you are young." Thatchelch put on his trademark smile again, and said lightly, his eyes drifted to the neat ruts not far away, and the military camps that were not in the slightest chaos.

"It's nice to be young."

The people around looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why Thatcherch said that.

"Okay, let's go back too." Marquis Thatcherki sighed inexplicably, then turned and left suddenly: "Order someone to burn this abandoned camp, it looks like an eyesore."

"Yes, my lord."

...

The next day, the army of the Lion Principality crossed the Luoxing Canyon and came to station thirty miles away from it.

"Are you really confident that their pursuers will stay here forever?" Grand Duke Cameron still had no idea, and couldn't help asking Master Olin again.

"Don't worry, I have done countless experiments on the west coast. This kind of thing is powerful enough to destroy their pursuers." Master Olin was still trying to keep a secret.

"..." Grand Duke Cameron didn't say anything after hearing the words, but his hands behind his back were tightly clenched into fists.

"By the way, I haven't seen Gwendolin for several days." He suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned to ask the Andean knight beside him: "What has she been up to lately?"

It turns out that you still remember that you have such a daughter who has not asked questions for so many days, and her heart is big enough. The Andes knight sighed in his heart, but he still replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness is not feeling well recently, and has been resting in the carriage."

"Well, tell her maid to take good care of her." Grand Duke Cameron nodded, and he couldn't care less about visiting her at this time.

Gwendolin is a girl, and even on the battlefield, she must be accompanied by a maid, otherwise a man cannot help him with some things.

"My lord, the enemy has reached fifty miles east of Luoxing Valley." At this time, the scouts were ordered to gallop over on horseback.

"It depends on the performance of the people ambush there." Master Olin said in a deep voice.
