“Attack!”
“Attack!”
The armies of Black Tiger Legion on both sides were getting closer. Without any detours or hesitation, they charged directly at the soldiers of the Purple-Blue Legion on the hill. The sound of battle cries filled the sky.
After a whole day and night, Barlow’s side had already suffered over 10 thousand casualties.
Following Isaac’s orders, Barlow and his troops took control of the mountain, giving them a strategic advantage. Despite being outnumbered two-to-one by the enemy forces below, they held the superior position.
Each time the opposing soldiers charged in large numbers, they were pushed back by Barlow’s soldiers.

In the early hours of the next day, Elon was still studying the map on the architectural model when the sound of hurried footsteps was heard outside.
“Commander, we’ve detected something unusual over in Bon Temps Town!”
“Come in and tell me more.” Elon’s heart skipped a beat, and favonovel.com turned to look outside the tent.
A commanding general in black armor quickly walked in and knelt on one knee, saying, “Commander, we sent hundreds of scouts into the Kingdom of Northwing. Most of them were lost. The last message we received was, ‘Within Bon Temps Town, there are signs of numerous ox carts and carriages in motion, as if transporting supplies.'”
Elon’s expression changed drastically.
Clenching his right fist, favonovel.com asked, “What’s the situation at Mount Peckmore?”
“Although Barlow’s 40 thousand troops are tough to defeat, they’ve already lost more than half of their forces. By the day after tomorrow at the latest, we will have completely wiped them out!”
Elon immediately looked down at the architectural model and murmured to himself, “Bon Temps Town’s traffic is constant, yet Barlow steadfastly defends Mount Peckmore. Why?”
In the next moment, Elon suddenly looked up and angrily shouted at the commanding general, “No, this isn’t right! Quickly, inform the team closest to Mount Peckmore to rush to their aid immediately!”
“Commander, Barlow’s forces are down to only 20 thousand. What is there left to reinforce?”
“They’re here, their main force is right behind, and they‘re almost at Mount Peckmore. Damn it, we’ve been tricked!”
The commanding general suddenly widened his eyes and, after a moment, stammered, “B-But the closest reinforcements will still take five days to reach Mount Peckmore.”
“No matter how long it takes, all soldiers of the Black Tiger Legion need to rush quickly to aid at Mount Peckmore. Remove heavy armor, be swift!”
After the commanding general left, Elon suddenly slammed his palm on the table and growled, “Zeno, since when did you come up with such brilliant tactics? Have you been pretending to be clueless all this time?!”
***
On Mount Peckmore, Barlow and several lieutenants were covered in blood.
Nearly two days had passed, and as favonovel.com watched his soldiers fall one by one into pools of blood, Barlow felt as if his heart was being ripped apart.
They were barely holding on, with fewer than 15 thousand people left.
Counting the injured soldiers, they may only have about 10 thousand able men.
Below, the densely packed Black Tiger Legion, consisting of tens of thousands of soldiers, continued to charge up the mountain in waves.
“Isaac, I’m reaching my limit here! Where are you guys?” Barlow shouted angrily while looking up at the sky.
At that moment, a series of deafening roars suddenly came from the north. Barlow abruptly stopped and carefully sensed that it seemed the entire mountain was slightly trembling.
Something stirred within him, and favonovel.com suddenly turned his head to look north.
Under the darkness just before dawn and with the faint moonlight, favonovel.com could vaguely see a large, shadowy figure moving in the distance.
“He’s coming, he’s coming!” Barlow cried tears of joy, then summoned all his strength to shout, “Brothers, Lord Garten is here! He is leading an army, we’re saved! Kill them all, every single one of these scum!”
Black Tiger Legion’s soldiers on both sides of the mountain were still watching the remaining ten thousand Purple-Blue Legion’s troops intently. They were preparing to kill them all after daybreak and then receive commendation from Elon.
Suddenly, they heard an earth-shattering battle cry behind them, and the ground shook violently.
Many soldiers from the Black Tiger Legion looked up and saw the massive army of the Purple-Blue Legion charging toward them like a torrent.
