Lord of the North

"My lord, what should we do next? Are we really going to fight them head-on?" At this moment, one of Panick's confidants asked anxiously.

After the last sneak attack, they realized a serious problem, that is, their soldiers and the army of the iron tooth collar are basically two levels.

Just because they were attacked just yesterday, they can immediately organize the army to counterattack today, which shows their strong psychological quality.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the two sides are not of the same level. Jason attaches great importance to this part of the army.

And their task is to delay the time as much as possible until the reinforcements arrive, instead of fighting to the death with the army led by Jason.

Originally, Panik thought that even if the two armies were fighting against each other, he would not be able to lose his momentum if he fought with real swords and guns, but now it seems that the level of equipment of his soldiers may be as good as those of ordinary noble private soldiers in the Lucca province. level is about the same.

After realizing this, the generals including Panick felt as disgusted as eating flies.

Then Panik suddenly remembered a piece of news that he had been ignoring before, that is, Jason recently opened up arms trade in front of all the nobles who supported him!

At that time, the Earl of Ika was very disdainful and said that Jason was taking death. Once these nobles used his strength to arm their army, would they be willing to help him charge forward?

But now it seems that Master Ika guessed wrong.

Moreover, he sent the slave army and the cavalry to attack for only one purpose, so he set up a suspicious formation, which made Jason suspicious and dare not take the initiative to attack easily.

But unexpectedly, Jason made up his mind to make a quick decision. It has to be said that he shot himself in the foot with a rock.

"Where's General Metalen? Let him come to see me."

Seeing that Jason's army formation had taken shape, and began to slowly advance towards the slave army, and those slaves who lacked exercise began to show signs of escaping.

The pressure the enemy put on them was too great.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a resolute face hurried over, and he bowed his head respectfully in front of Panik and said.

He is also an ordinary person without superhuman strength. In Panik's army, his position is never determined by strength, which is very different from other armies.

"I have a task for you, but you are likely to die here." Panick gave him a complicated look, and then said softly.

"Willing to work hard for adults."

Metalen's expression was serious, and his tone was a little fanatical.

Panik's reputation among these commoner generals was too high, to the point where Earl Ika feared.

But Earl Ika is still inseparable from Panick's help, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to lead an army alone.

"I'll leave you with an army of 2,000 men and all the slave legions to stop Jason's army for three days, and retreat immediately after three days regardless of the battle situation. Can it be done?"

Panik sighed, it was almost a mission for him to die, but he had to.

Fleeing without a fight would deal a huge blow to his reputation, and it would also hand over a handle to weaken his influence to Earl Ika.

But in order to retain as much vitality as possible for a decisive battle with Jason, he had to do so.

"I understand, my lord, I will definitely bring the army back alive." Metallen said with a solemn expression, then turned to leave after saluting respectfully again.

"Master Dongte, are we just wasting time with them?"

On the other side, far outside the Baria pass, a burly general in blue armor stared solemnly at the tall city wall in the distance. Beside him, a general with an exquisite visor asked in doubt.

Listen to her soft voice and see her slender figure,

It should be a female general.

"The order we received was to keep an eye on them. As long as Atum doesn't bring his army out of the Baria pass, we don't care about them." General Dongte turned his horse's head and walked towards the barracks behind him.

He is a general who is as famous as Panik in the province of Jalan, but he is of noble origin and has the title of baron. He has always looked down on Panik. The prestige is too high.

"Understood, Father... General, so what should we do next?" The young female general hurriedly caught up with him and asked impatiently.

It looks like she's specifically looking to build military merit.

"Audrey, you only have one task now, and that is to go back, take a shower, and rest." Baron Dongte slowed down, and said to her with a slightly kind expression after she caught up.

"But I heard that General Panik has already started a fight with that Jason. I'm worried that we will be sued by him if we don't do anything." Audrey said reluctantly.

"The best thing to do is to do nothing in the current situation. Panick will pay the price for his smartness."

Dongte shook his head. He knew that he would suffer huge losses after hearing that Panik sent troops to raid Jason's army.

"I don't understand." Audrey pushed up her visor, her charming face looked a little confused.

"This war can't be won with our current strength, so being able to delay them is the greatest achievement of the battle. Panik took it for granted." Baron Dongte explained very patiently.

His gifted daughter was his pride. Originally, he didn't intend to bring her out, but in order to avoid the entanglement of Earl Ika's dandy son, Audrey begged him to bring her into the army.

"So this is ah."

Audrey suddenly realized, showing a very cute expression, but she immediately frowned again: "Then why didn't Atum bring troops out to fight us?"

It stands to reason that the army in the Barea Pass is far more than his own. Baron Dongte only brought 5,000 troops, and he has not led the slave army to fight like Panik.

"Ha, who knows?"

Baron Dongte glanced back at the Barea Pass, smiled and shook his head.

Atum, as they called him, was now confronted with something that bothered him, and that was a confidant officer sent by Zola to question the reason for his inaction.

It is a pity that the official was detained before seeing Atum.

"I don't need you to remind me to do things."

These were Atum's words, conveyed to him by a guard.
