Chapter Seventy-Third: Attacking the Enemy Must Save

The Kingdom of Lund, the capital of Heron City.

The king of the Kingdom of Lund paced anxiously.

"What is the situation of the battle between the Britannian Empire Army and the Carolingian Kingdom Army...why no information has been sent yet..." the king whispered.

After hearing the king's words, the civil servants and generals standing around the king couldn't help but look sad.

The day before yesterday, that is, on November 5th, after the Britannian Imperial Army arrived at the Irun Ferry, they sent a letter to them with a carrier pigeon, informing the king of the Lund Kingdom that their Britannian Imperial Army was about to fight with the guards. The Carolingian Kingdom's army fought a decisive battle at the Ferry of Elon.

However, since this information was sent, the Britannia Imperial Army has not sent any new notifications or information.

The king, who was eager to know what was going on at Elon's Ferry, could only pace around here anxiously.

"Your Highness, don't be impatient." A civil official said in a deep voice, "The reinforcements from the Britannian Empire only arrived at the Ferry of Elon on November 5th the day before yesterday, and it has only been less than two days since then. There is no such a quick decision, and now maybe the two armies are in a stalemate, and there is no time to send out new notices and information, so we should wait quietly for now."

"Wait? How long are you going to wait!!" the king scolded the civil official loudly.

After hearing the king's loud reprimand, the civil servant couldn't help but tremble.

"The current food reserves in Heron City are only enough to last for 20 days! If the reinforcements from the Britannia Empire don't break through the Ferry of Elon soon, we will have to eat people!"

At this moment, a general barged in and shouted in a joyful voice:

"Your Highness! The reinforcements from the Britannia Empire have sent new carrier pigeons!"

"What?" The king's face immediately showed joy, "Quick! Show it to me!"

After hearing the king's urging, the general quickly stepped forward, and respectfully handed a small roll of paper to the king with both hands.

The king hastily snatched the small roll of paper from the officer's hand, and then impatiently unfolded it.

In the letter sent by the reinforcements of the Britannia Empire, it was written:

[Our army encountered obstacles at the Ferry of Elon. In order to save Harun City faster, we decided to change our strategy. Please continue to hold on, the siege of Harun City will be lifted soon. ]

After reading all the contents of the letter word by word, the king was dumbfounded and murmured:

"What's the meaning?"

After the king read it, he handed the letter in his hand to the surrounding civil servants and generals.

The rest of the civil servants and generals surrounding the king also quickly accepted the letter handed over by the king.

After reading the contents of the letter, everyone's expressions were similar to those of the king, and they all looked confused.

"What are the reinforcements from the Britannia Empire doing?" the king said in a deep voice. "What is a change of strategy? Apart from using brute force to break through the blockade at the Ferry of Elon, is there any other way?"

"Then...Your Highness," a general asked, "what shall we do now?"

"What else can we do?!" The king yelled, "We can only trust the reinforcements from the Britannia Empire now! Even if I fight every last soldier, I won't let the Lund Kingdom perish like this! You, it’s you! Follow me! I’m going to take out all the money in the private treasury to reward and motivate the soldiers! Come and help me get the money!”

...

At this time, on the east bank of Elon Ferry, where the Carolingian Kingdom Army is stationed.

Although nearly a day has passed since the defeat of the Britannia Empire, the entire army is still immersed in an atmosphere of excitement.

Now if you go to the army camp to see, you can find that every soldier of the Carolingian Kingdom Army is smiling, and everyone's face is filled with excitement and joy.

And Allen feels very happy and proud now.

Although more than 800 precious armored paladins were killed or injured in yesterday's battle, which made Allen feel a little heartbroken, but this small loss is not worth mentioning compared with the amazing results.

According to Allen's estimation, yesterday's battle caused almost 12,000 to 16,000 casualties to the Britannia Imperial Army.

And the more than 10,000 casualties in the Britannia Empire were not mobs who didn't care about how many died.

The 100,000 troops sent by the Britannia Empire this time are all soldiers of the Knights of Gabriel, undoubtedly an elite force.

The casualties of tens of thousands of elites must have been enough for the people of the Britannia Empire to die.

Use your own 800 elite cavalry to exchange the enemy's tens of thousands of elite infantry.

Not a loss at all, but a big profit on the contrary!

Not only that, he also seriously injured Nicholas, the coach of the Britannia Empire yesterday. Although it was a bit of a fly in the ointment for him to be rescued in the end, judging by the injuries he suffered, he might wait until he returned to the camp. just die.

Thinking that he had won such a beautiful victory, Allen couldn't help being happy and proud. He has been smiling since yesterday.

And Er, who had been following Alan all the time, saw Alan who was always smiling happily, and couldn't help but teased: "General Alan, you look very happy."

"Of course." Allen said in a cheerful tone, "I don't know when it started, every time I went to participate in the war against the Britannian Empire, the opponent I met was the Unity Knight Iser, Therefore, it has been a long time since I have tasted such a hearty and hearty victory in the war against the Britannia Empire, don't you think you are happy?"

"I have successfully killed so many elite troops of the Britannian Empire, and severely wounded the four royal knights, Nicholas. When I return to the Frankish Empire, there must be many incredible rewards for me."

After all, Allen's joy and complacency grew a little bit.

At this moment, a scout broke into his big tent——

"Commander! Commander! The Britannia Imperial Army has started a new move!"

"Oh?"

After hearing what the scout said, all the complacency and joy on Allen's face disappeared, and he changed back to his poker face.

"Has the Britannian Imperial Army moved toward the Ferry of Elon again?"

"No! No!" The scout shouted loudly, "The Britannian Imperial Army has begun to march north!"

"North?"

A look of surprise appeared on Allen's expressionless face, and he frowned.

"Er!" Allen yelled at Er, who was on the side, "Bring me the map!"

"yes!"

Just when Er turned around to get the map, the scout continued:

"Boss, not only that, but we also got reliable information: The Britannia Imperial Army has changed its coach!"

"Change the coach?!"

Allen stood up abruptly with a "bass".

"Yes! The Imperial Army of Britannia seems to be making no secret of this information! According to reports, the former coach Nicholas was seriously injured, so he is not suitable to continue to lead the army, so a new coach has been replaced. !"

"Can you find out who the new coach is?" Allen said in a deep voice.

"It's a new knight named Su Cheng!"

"New Knight?!"

Allen looked at the scout with "did I hear wrong?" eyes.

"Yes, according to reliable information, a new knight named Su Cheng has served as the new commander of the Britannia Imperial Army!"

"Hmph, is there no one in the Britannia Empire?" Allen said in a disdainful tone, "A new Gui knight was appointed as the commander of such a large army."

Afterwards, Allen mumbled Su Cheng's name several times.

"Su Cheng... What a strange name, I've never heard of it before, ah, no, why do I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?"

Allen thought hard for a while, and finally remembered that when he was fighting with the girl named Alan yesterday, she told him that she was the knight's retinue of Xingui knight Su Cheng.

"What the hell are they doing..." Alan frowned and muttered, "How could a new Gui knight be the coach of an army of 90,000 troops..."

At this moment, Er took the map over.

"General Allen, the map is here!"

Er said while spreading out the map on the table in front of Allen.

After the map was rolled out, Allen immediately bent down on the map and began to think:

The entire Britannia Imperial Army marches north...

Allen stretched out his finger and reached the position where the Britannian Imperial Army stayed after retreating from the west bank of Elon Ferry.

Where is the Britannia Imperial Army going?

While thinking about this, Allen began to slide his fingers towards the north.

Did they also realize that it is the dry season, so they all have to go north to find other suitable places to cross the river?

wrong! If they all go north, won't they stay away from Fuhe? If they were going north, it would be equivalent to staying away from Fuhe.

And even if I had to find another suitable place to cross the river, it would be impossible for the entire army to act like this. It would be too conspicuous, and it would be easy for me to find out which new place they planned to cross the river, and then come to intercept them in advance.

But if this is the case, where are they going?

Is it to withdraw the Britannia Empire? But the direction is wrong!

While thinking, Allen slid his fingers, and before he knew it, his fingers had slipped into the territory of the Carolingian Kingdom, thinking to himself:

snort! If they go north, the only place they can go is the Carolingian Kingdom!

Ok?

Carolingian Kingdom?

Could it be that--

What is the goal? !

Allen's eyes gradually widened, realizing something, he raised his right hand high and clenched it into a fist, and slammed it heavily on the wooden table.

Allen's fist hit the wooden table, making a loud noise, which startled Er who was on the side.

"Britannia Imperial Army! Are you here for real?!" Allen shouted with bloodshot eyes.
