In the main camp of the Black Tiger Legion, Elon was holding a scroll and frowning.
“Reporting, General!” A soldier quickly entered the camp, knelt before Elon, and said urgently, “Commander, we’ve spotted traces of the Purple-Blue Legion on the eastern side of the defensive line.”
Elon looked up at his subordinate in front of favonovel.com and asked, “How many of them? Whose troops are they?”
“There are approximately over 30 thousand troops moving south from the northwest direction. The scouts reported seeing battle flags bearing the symbol of Zeno and Barlow!”
“The subordinates of Barlow? Get the three commanding generals to come!”
Soon, three commanding generals in black armor entered the commander’s tent one after another and quickly approached the large architectural model in the center.
“Purple-Blue Legion‘s leader, Barlow, is bringing 30 to 40 thousand men south, and they will reach Mount Peckmore in half a day. What do you think this means?” Elon asked in a deep voice, holding a delicate teapot and pointing to a low mountain.
A commanding general in black armor snorted coldly, “It‘s clear that Zeno can’t hold out any longer and has sent out an advance unit to scout ahead in an attempt to escape.”
“The scouts of the Purple-Blue Legion must be aware that we have set up a defensive line stretching for hundreds of kilometers over there yet they sent out 30 to 40 thousand troops. Something about this feels strange!” another commanding general in black armor said with a frown.
“Commander, regardless of their intentions, we mu st take action. We cannot allow them to enter the Kingdom of Northwing,” the last black-armored general said angrily.
Elon nodded, reached over the architectural model, and pointed southward from Mount Peckmore into the territory of the Kingdom of Northwing.
“The closest town south of Mount Peckmore is Bon Temps Town, a border town in the Kingdom of Northwing. Any updates from Bon Temps Town?” Elon asked, almost as if talking to himself.
A commanding general in black armor respectfully reported, “The scouts have returned and did not find anything unusual.”
“Something’s not right… Go check again,” Elon said, shaking his head with a glint in his eyes.
“Commander, how should we proceed against the enemy forces?”
Elon furrowed his brow, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and said, “It’s no longer possible to ambush them at Mount Peckmore. Send 80 thousand men to the flanks and attack them head-on.”
***
Meanwhile, a force of 40 thousand soldiers from Barlow’s army was rapidly advancing towards Mount Peckmore.
This was a small mountain with an elevation of less than 980 feet, but Barlow, riding on Storm Chaser’s back, knew that guarding this mountain for two days would be a tough task.
Mount Peckmore was now visible in the distance.
“Speed up and take the mountain immediately. Once we get there, rest on the spot and prepare for battle!” Barlow turned to the two lieutenants beside favonovel.com and commanded in a cold voice.
After the order was given, the troops began to accelerate once more. In less than an hour, 40 thousand soldiers charged straight up the mountain.
After resting for two hours, Barlow, who was floating in midair, suddenly noticed a huge cloud of dust rising in the distance to his right.
As favonovel.com focused on it in the sunset’s light, favonovel.com saw a vast army of Black Tiger Legion’s armies toward favonovel.com like a tidal wave.
Looking to the left side, Barlow’s eyes narrowed.
It was just as Isaac had said, the enemy was launching an attack from both flanks.
“The enemy forces are attacking! Prepare for battle!” His roar, filled with spiritual energy, instantly echoed across the entire mountain.
Looking at the overwhelming Black Tiger Legion closing in from both sides, just by eye it seemed like there were at least 70 to 80 thousand soldiers.
“Isaac oh Isaac, I hope you arrive on time,” Barlow murmured.
The spiritual energy within favonovel.com surged more intensely, and favonovel.com slowly raised the sword in his hand.
“Listen up, everyone! Lord Garten has spoken. Hold this mountain for two days. Not a single one of those damn Black Tiger soldiers is getting away! As long as you’re a soldier under my command, and even if there’s just a breath left in you, you must not fall!”
Barlow’s roars echoed continuously, and the soldiers below instantly had tears in their eyes. Their breathing became rapid, and the weapons they were holding started to tremble.
It was not fear, it was the excitement and eagerness to fight the enemy right away!
