Madd said seriously, “You’d better inform all the generals to be cautious.”
Seeing his serious expression, Barlow and Adler were stunned.
Madd was a commanding general with outstanding military achievements in the Kingdom of Vriweth. King Eldorado highly regarded him.
Even though Madd took this matter seriously, Barlow scoffed. “Between Commander Schmidt and that criminal, I trust Commander Schmidt more. Black Tiger Legion wouldn’t dare to attack us at this time! ”
After speaking, favonovel.com flicked his sleeve, turned around, and walked out of the main camp.
***
For the next day, Isaac stayed in Lucifer’s tent for both meals and sleep. He had dispatched 200 scouting teams. But so far, only a dozen or so had returned without bringing back any useful information.
The next morning, Zeno left his large camp, accompanied by a few close guards. He prepared to inspect the soldiers.
As favonovel.com looked up, favonovel.com noticed many figures from the Purple-Blue Legion busily doing something on the hillside to his left.
A winding path extended from halfway up the mountain down to its base.
“What are they doing? Which general’s subordinates are those?” Zeno pointed to the left mid-mountain slope.
A guard stepped forward respectfully and responded, “Commander Schmidt, they’re General Lucifer’s subordinates. This morning, favonovel.com reported that the soldiers shouldn’t be idle and need to stay busy.”
“He’s under Madd, right? He hasn’t been in the military for long, but favonovel.com has quite many ideas!” Zeno snorted and continued walking forward without saying anything more.
He chose to gather his main forces here because the mountains on both sides act as natural barriers. Moreover, the mountains were covered in thorny vegetation and had steep paths, making it difficult for anyone to launch an attack from there.
If the Black Tiger Legion surrounded them from the north and south, they could focus their forces and break through one end to flee.
But that night, the weather suddenly changed.
During the day, it was clear and sunny. By evening, it started to rain and get windy. The wind speed was stronger because it was in a valley where convection occurred.
Isaac looked up at the tent shaking in the strong wind. He frowned as favonovel.com listened to the raindrops hitting it constantly.
“Lucifer, inform your subordinates to heighten their vigilance. There’s a strong possibility of an attack tonight,” favonovel.com solemnly said.
Lucifer, who was sitting on the bed, immediately shouted toward the outside of the tent, “Go inform all lieutenants and captains to come here now!”
Soon, six lieutenants and more than ten captains squeezed into his tent.
“The outside environment is getting harsh. Immediately order all soldiers to heighten their alertness. Get ready for enemies at all times!” Lucifer commanded sharply, addressing the subordinates in front of him.
Because they were already prepared, they instantly accepted the order and quickly went out to mobilize 30,000 soldiers.
On the other side, a heavily armored soldier hurriedly walked into Madd’s main camp and reported, “General Pedersen, Lucifer’s squad has started forming up. We don’t know why they do that.”
Getting up from the chair, Madd quickly reached to the side, grabbed a long sword, and put on his golden helmet. He said seriously, “Inform all lieutenants and captains now. Get the soldiers ready to face the enemy! Don‘t panic if there’s an enemy attack. Stay close to Lucifer’s squad!”
Madd was aware that Lucifer wouldn’t assign useless tasks to mobilize thousands of people to dig up mountains and quarry stones. The latter was most likely preparing a retreat route.
Time passed. Apart from Madd’s 60,000 soldiers preparing themselves in the storm, the remaining 200,000 soldiers huddled together in groups of three to five, trying to withstand the harsh weather.
Because many tents were blown away by the strong wind, the soldiers didn’t dare to go out and search on their own.
After about an hour, Isaac and Lucifer, who were in their tent, suddenly felt the ground began to shake slightly.
Isaac immediately squatted, gently placed his hands on the ground, and then looked up at Lucifer. “They’re coming!”
