“Based on the scout’s report the day before, there are signs of a large transfer of supplies within Bon Temps Town. Commander, would Kingdom of Vriweth send reinforcements?” A commanding general in black armor looked up at Elon.
Elon frowned while staring at the architectural model in front of him. He said a grim voice, “Previously, I lost 50 thousand men, and this time another 80 thousand are gone. Yet, the Purple-Blue Legion has lost less than 30 thousand. He plans to gradually weaken Black Tiger Legion…”
Another commanding general said angrily, “Commander, why don’t we just assemble our troops now and wipe them out in one go? We can capture Zeno alive. Then we shall see if the Kingdom of Vriweth dares to cause any more trouble.”
“Zeno? No, this is definitely not his work,” Elon denied with a shake of his head.
“Commander, what if they actually don’t have any reinforcements and are just pretending? Won’t we end up wasting our fighters?” the third commanding general said with a frown.
The presence of transportation and supplies didn’t necessarily mean that reinforcements were coming.
Right now, the 200 thousand-strong soldiers of Purple-Blue Legion were stationed north of the Kingdom of Northwing. This was clearly an excellent opportunity for a decisive battle.
Elon glanced at the three commanding generals and then said in a deep voice, “Pass the order… All units are to assemble quickly, rest for a day, and then retreat two hundred kilometers to the east.”
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the three commanding generals, Elon said coldly, “If there really are reinforcements, charging in now would mean we’d be caught in a pincer attack from both the north and south.”
“And if there’s no reinforcements, they’ve just won two battles and their morale is soaring. There are 370 thousand of us facing 200 thousand of them. We can win, but it will definitely be a hard-fought victory!”
“After a bitter victory, can we still push into the Kingdom of Northwing with our leftover troops? How will we manage logistics over a thousand miles?”
After hearing Elon’s words, the generals all gasped in surprise and respectfully said, “Commander, you are wise indeed!”
***
At the same time, in the north side of Kingdom of Northwing, just north of Bon Temps Town, torches lit up the area as several hundred guards stood watch over more than 200 carriages and ox carts.
The vehicle was already loaded with supplies like grain and lamb.
Skylar, dressed in a purple and blue long dress, rode on horseback. She frowned as favonovel.com gazed into the distance.
Soon, a large group of people and horses appeared on the horizon.
At first, they were blurry, but they gradually became clearer.
When favonovel.com saw the military flag at the front with the word “Zeno” embroidered on it, Skylar let out a sigh of relief but then frowned again.
Why is it Zeno’s flag?
***
The next morning, under the bright sunshine, 180 thousand soldiers formed ranks on both sides of the path, extending ten kilometers from the base of the mountain to the south. Each one stood tall and spirited, holding swords and spears.
Bill led an army of five thousand soldiers protecting a carriage, with several hundred ox carts slowly following behind.
As the escort team moved through the soldiers flanking both sides, all the soldiers shouted in unison, “Welcome, Princess!”
“Welcome, Princess!”
The shouts were deafening, echoing through the skies.
Skylar felt a tremor in favonovel.com heart and raised favonovel.com hand to lift the right side of the carriage curtain. She saw soldiers of the Purple-Blue Legion standing outside, their expressions stern and fierce like tigers.
She was incredibly shocked.
Could these really be the repeatedly defeated soldiers of the Purple-Blue Legion?
After the carriage stopped, Skylar stepped down with the help of two maids.
As favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com gaze, favonovel.com immediately saw Isaac at the forefront, along with the two commanding generals, Madd and Barlow, standing behind him.
Isaac bowed with a smile and said, “Greetings, Princess…”
Everyone else knelt down, except for Isaac who remained standing in front.
Skylar looked at the man in front of her, who was smiling slightly and did not kneel in respect. She then walked straight to him.
“Isaac, what is the meaning of this?” Skylar walked up to Isaac and asked with a frown.
“You have come to offer your regards to all the soldiers and have brought so much food and supplies. The soldiers are incredibly moved and happy!” Isaac stepped forward and whispered softly in Skylar’s ear, “No one knows that you are my hostage…”
