Of course, Li Huailin didn't know how anxious the Orcs were. To him, it was just a small matter. He just needed to bring someone back. Now that the Orcs said they would help him, Li Huailin thought that they had agreed to bring Zooey back. Therefore, he excitedly went back to tell Su Ruoyan and the others about his achievement.
"It went so smoothly," Su Ruoyan said.
"Of course, there's nothing I can't do," Li Huailin said proudly.
"Huailin, you're amazing! You're my husband!" Ceci said happily. He then shouted at Zooey, who was lying on the bed, "Zooey, did you hear that? You'll be able to go back soon. "
"Really, meow?" Zooey seemed to be very happy to hear that. Her expression became a little angry, and she began to speak with a different tone.
"Of course," Ceci said. Ceci said, "So hurry up and eat something. You'll see your mother soon."
"Mm, thank you, madam … meow, and … and …" Zooey looked at Li Huailin. He wanted to say thank you, but when he saw Li Huailin, he was so scared that he couldn't speak. He covered his face with the blanket and said softly, "Thank … Thank … Master …"
Li Huailin looked at the time and said, "Anyway, this troublesome mission is finally over. It's about time. The 2nd Division should be at the frontlines by now. I'm going to fight." Li Huailin looked at the time.
"Huailin, be careful," Ceci said immediately.
Su Ruoyan wasn't worried that Li Huailin would die. He wouldn't die for real anyway. She was just worried that Li Huailin would be careless and lose. Therefore, she said, "Be careful."
"Don't worry, wait for my good news," Li Huailin said.
"Oh, I'll continue to look after the territory for you. Don't worry about it," Su Ruoyan said.
Li Huailin also nodded. He was at ease leaving these things to Su Ruoyan. He didn't know anything about it anyway.
After bidding farewell to them, Li Huailin took Dramo, Bruno, and Gina to the front line of the battle, Degara City.
"Who is it … Greetings, Lord Marshal!" As soon as he landed, several guards immediately greeted him. Now that it was during the war, Degara City had been under martial law. In order to prevent spies from coming in, the transmission point had been completely blocked, so the guards here were always guarding here. When they saw someone coming in, they would immediately come up to check, but when they saw Li Huailin appear, the guards here immediately saluted.
"City guards? Have the 2nd Corps arrived yet? "Li Huailin immediately asked.
"Reporting to Marshal, the soldiers of the 2nd Division have arrived and just entered the city." The guard immediately reported. Normally, he would not be able to see a big shot like Li Huailin. Now that he could report to Li Huailin, he was very excited.
"Okay, take me there." Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Marshal!" The guard here immediately said.
Under the guidance of the guard, Li Huailin quickly found the temporary encampment of the 2nd Division. Because the 2nd Division had just arrived, many soldiers were now lying on the ground to rest. Because the rapid march was really a bit rushed, the soldiers were very tired. Almost every day, they slept for 4 hours, rested for 2 hours, and then rushed for more than 10 hours. To be honest, they were able to make it here because of the good physical quality of the soldiers of the 2nd Division. Secondly, the will and faith of the people of the 2nd Division. Simply put, they were the soul of the army.
Speaking of the soul of the army, even Li Huailin didn't know that the core of the soul of the soldiers was himself. Currently, these soldiers worshipped Li Huailin blindly. His disregard for the lives of his subordinates, whipping his soldiers at will, and giving them unfair rewards and punishments. He never suffered with the army. Every soldier was deeply moved by his actions. Now, every soldier wanted to die for such a general. Therefore, these soldiers carried out his orders without question.
Seeing that Li Huailin had finally arrived, the soldiers who were resting on the ground immediately stood up and saluted Li Huailin. A few soldiers then brought Li Huailin to Vice Marshal Maccon.
"Marshal, you're here." Maccon was very busy. Now that the 2nd Division had just arrived, there were a lot of things to do. Even the outstanding Maccon was overwhelmed by the workload.
However, now that Li Huailin had arrived, Maccon had no choice but to put down his work. He pulled over a middle-aged NPC named Crach and said, "Marshal, this is Baron Crach. He is also the lord of this area."
"Greetings, Marshal," Crach said immediately. "Thank you for the reinforcements."
Since it was wartime, Marshal Li Huailin was the highest ranking officer in the area. Even Mayor Crach had to listen to Li Huailin's orders. Crach was very careful. If he didn't do his job well, Li Huailin could punish him by military law.
"How's the situation?" Li Huailin asked.
"The 2nd Division's vanguard has arrived," Maccon reported.
"The vanguard?" Li Huailin was a little confused. However, Maccon quickly explained the situation. Due to the difference in quality between soldiers, Maccon and Li Huailin had set out with the vanguard's elite troops. The logistics, reserve, and engineering teams, led by Veronica, were also on their way. They were expected to arrive tomorrow.
"Oh, I see," Li Huailin said, nodding.
"The vanguard has entered the city. With Knight Crach's help, we're currently arranging their encampments. They should be ready by nightfall," Maccon said. Due to the war, many of Dejala City's citizens had fled to the hinterlands of the human territory. As a result, the city was still relatively empty. It wouldn't be a problem for 100,000 soldiers to be stationed in the city.
Maccon then reported the situation of the rations. Dejala City didn't have a lot of rations. Since the city hadn't considered the possibility of an Undead attack, it had been running out of rations over the past few days. However, the 2nd Division's logistics team would arrive tomorrow. The rations they brought would be enough for the 2nd Division to use for at least half a month. Moreover, since they were in human territory, the rations should be unimpeded.
"But Marshal, I've discovered something very strange. I can't figure it out," Maccon said.
"What's the matter?" Li Huailin asked.
"I don't know if the Marshal has heard, but the situation on the side of the undead is very strange. They have 23000 troops, while the original garrison of Degara City was only 1500. Even if the walls of Degara City are strong, it is still very difficult to defend. But I don't know why the undead here have not attacked the surrounding villages at all in the past few days. Not only that, the undead here don't even have the intention to attack the surrounding villages. This is really too unreasonable." Maccon said while looking at the undead on the side.
"I've already heard about this." Li Huailin nodded.
"Marshal, this is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that if the other party saw us arrive at the battlefield so quickly, they should know that we marched here in a hurry. So I've been worried that the other party would stop us when we enter the city, so I've been on guard. But it's very strange that the undead here not only didn't attack us, but when we arrived, they chose to withdraw their camp and directly retreated 10 miles. Now, they have set up camp 30 miles away from Dejala City. I don't know what's going on at all." Maccon said, "The other party must be planning something, but I can't think of it. I don't know what the Marshal thinks?"
"Who knows? Probably because they heard my name and knew that I was coming, they were scared to retreat 10 miles. I'm so f * cking awesome." Li Huailin said.
"Huh?" Maccon was stunned. "No, no, Marshal, this is definitely what the undead are planning."
"Wait … I suddenly have a plan." Li Huailin suddenly raised his hand and said.
"Ah? What's the plan, Marshal? "Maccon asked.
"Didn't you say that the other party is now pulling out their camp and preparing to retreat? Isn't that just right? Let's send the cavalry to attack them first, give them a show of strength, and let them know that I'm here." Li Huailin said.
"What? Marshal, are you serious? " Maccon couldn't believe it. The cavalry had just finished a rapid march. Now that they had arrived in Dejala City, they didn't even rest for a while, and now they were going to attack the other party's troops? Furthermore, there were only 6,000 light cavalrymen in the 2nd Legion, while there were 23000 light cavalrymen on the other side. As long as the enemy put up a slight defense, the 2nd Legion's light cavalrymen would be annihilated. Fortunately, it was Li Huailin who said this. If it were any other general, Maccon would have slapped him to death.
"Come on, Maccon, let me ask you, the other party now knows that we are rushing here, right?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Maccon nodded.
"If you were the other party's general, would you think that we would still send troops to attack them now?" Li Huailin asked.
"No." Maccon shook his head. Macken shook his head as he said, "But Marshal, there's no need to think about this at all. It's not like they're retreating; they're just moving their camps. Even if something unexpected happens to our cavalry, we'll suffer a great loss if we organize our defenses. Our cavalry doesn't have the stamina to fight at all."
"Sigh, what do you know? Only when people are forced into a dangerous situation will they unleash their Pocket Universe. Our cavalry might be able to unleash their Pocket Universe," Li Huailin casually said.
"Huh? Marshal, what is a little universe, I … "Maccon wanted to say something but was immediately interrupted by Li Huailin.
"Are you the Marshal or am I the Marshal? Summon the cavalry and immediately attack." Li Huailin waved his hand and said.
