In Degara City, the cavalry of the second corps was ready to attack, but the soldiers were not in a very good state. Not to mention the soldiers, even their horses were not in a very good state. In the past few days of rapid marching, these cavalrymen had actually walked. Their horses were used in battle, and they were reluctant to ride them. Even so, the horses here were very tired. But no matter what, when they heard Li Huailin's order to attack, all the soldiers immediately got ready, and no one said anything.
The leader was still the cavalry captain, Saimos. He didn't understand the order to attack. He didn't know what strategy it was, but he knew that the soldiers were not in a good state. But military orders must be obeyed. At this time, he could only bite the bullet.
"Everyone, listen up. This is our first battle against the Undead. We must win. Do you understand?" Saimos was making the final mobilization on the stage, but the soldiers were not in a good mood. The most important thing was that they were too tired to move.
"Well …" Looking at the listless soldiers below the stage, Li Huailin nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, everyone fight seriously. Charge to your death, understand?"
"Yes, Marshal!" Saimos immediately said. "Our sword team is like a sword of the marshal. Once it is unsheathed, it will not return until it kills."
"Very good." Li Huailin nodded. "Then let's not delay any longer. Let's go."
"Marshal." Blueno, who was next to Li Huailin, suddenly half-knelt and said. "I request to fight."
"Marshal, I also request to fight." Dramo, who was next to him, immediately said. Both of them were full of energy, and they were just waiting to make a contribution. They didn't care about disadvantages or advantages, as long as they could kill the enemy on the battlefield.
"Nonsense, this is the barracks of the second legion. Naturally, there will be a general of the second legion attacking." Li Huailin immediately said, "Okay, attack."
"Attack!" Saimos waved his hand, and the cavalry immediately turned around and slowly moved toward the city gate.
"Then, General, wait for my good news," Saimos said.
"En." Li Huailin nodded.
At this time, thirty miles away from Degara City, the undead troops here had just arrived and decided on a new camp site. The undead soldiers here were preparing to camp.
"Highlord, why are we retreating here?" Soudeis's aide asked curiously.
"Didn't Master Vocha say to avoid direct conflict with the second human army? He asked us to wait for the right time. We haven't received the new order yet, so we should stay away from the city," Soudeis said.
"What is Lord Wocha trying to do? Isn't the 2nd Legion his own legion? Why do we have to fight against it?" On Soudeis's side, only a few people knew about Li Huailin's identity, so they were also very puzzled. Why did the undead declare war on the humans, and why did Li Huailin's Second Legion come to meet them? No one knew what Li Huailin wanted to do.
"Master Wocha must have a plan," Soudeis said. As soon as he finished speaking, another lord, Ryuk, walked over. He did not know that Li Huailin was Wocha.
"Soudeis, I heard that the reinforcements of the 2nd Legion have arrived. That means that Emperor Wocha's order to forbid us from fighting has been lifted. Why don't we attack the troops of the 2nd Legion?" Ryuk asked.
Soudeis was having a headache. Li Huailin did say that the order to forbid them from fighting until the 2nd Legion arrived, but only he knew that Wocha and the Marshal of the 2nd Legion, Duke Aquitaine, were the same person. How were they supposed to attack? They could not possibly attack their own boss's troops, could they?
However, it was difficult to explain to Ryuk, because Li Huailin had also said that he wanted to hide his identity. Soudeis thought about it and said, "You know that the Marshal of the 2nd Legion, Duke Aquitaine, is known as the God of War. He is a very good general. I don't think the chances of success are very high if we attack him, and we might fall into a trap. Emperor Wocha also said that we should try our best to preserve our troops and avoid major conflicts. So, I choose to retreat conservatively and wait for the Emperor's new order. "
"Is … Is this Duke Aquitaine really that powerful?" Ryuk had not fought with Li Huailin before, but he had heard of his name. It seemed that Soudeis was quite obedient.
"Very powerful." Soudeis immediately said. Of course, the Duke of Aquitaine was Emperor Wocha. Who would dare to say that he was not powerful?
"Alright, you know more about military strategy than I do." Ryuk thought about it and said, "We'll listen to you. Let's set up camp. I'll ask the soldiers to go up the mountain and cut down trees to build the camp."
"Okay." Soudeis nodded.
The construction of the camp naturally required a lot of wood, but there was a lot of forest in the area, so there was no shortage of wood. Ryuk and Soudeis both sent their soldiers to the nearby mountains to cut down trees. In order to speed up the construction, Soudeis sent a total of 3,000 soldiers to cut down trees.
At this time, Soudeis did not expect Li Huailin to send troops to attack them. He thought that since both sides were Li Huailin's men, he could not possibly attack himself. Moreover, the troops of the second legion had just arrived, so they would not attack at this time. However, even so, Soudeis still carefully arranged a defensive formation. However, this was only aimed at the undead soldiers who were building the camp. Unfortunately, the soldiers sent to cut down trees were forgotten.
"Captain, there are about 3,000 undead soldiers ahead." At this time, Saimos's Sharp Swords scout, who was preparing to attack the undead camp, discovered the 3,000 undead soldiers and immediately reported to Saimos.
"What?" Saimos was stunned. He did not expect the other party to send troops. Although he did not know the other party's purpose, since he had encountered them, he naturally could not let them go. So, he immediately pulled out his sword and said, "Brothers, the enemy is in front! It's time to make a name for yourself! For the humans, for the empire, for the marshal! Follow me! "
"Oh!" The Sharp Swords shouted, and the whole army immediately began to speed up, rushing toward the 3,000 logging soldiers.
The undead army did not know what was going on. They received orders to cut down trees, so they did not prepare any scouts. Some of the soldiers did not even carry weapons. They only took a tree cutting axe and pushed a few wooden carts. They did not even think that they would be attacked. It was not until the human cavalry appeared in front of them that the undead army realized that they had been attacked. However, it was too late. They came on foot, and the other party was a cavalry. How could they fight?
"Kill!" Saimos took the lead and rushed into the Undead army with his spear. Although the Sharp Swords behind him were very tired, their fighting spirit was still very strong. On the other hand, the Undead army didn't have much to say. They weren't here to fight, so how could they have any fighting spirit? Moreover, they didn't have any weapons. When they saw so many Cavalrymen appear, some of them immediately chose to escape.
Since they did not encounter any resistance, the Sharp Swords did not display their weakness in physical strength. The cavalry directly charged into the enemy's formation. Immediately, a large number of low-level undead troops were directly chopped to the ground by the chaos of the swords.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat! " The Undead Squad Leader on this side saw that he couldn't fight anymore, so he shouted and began to run. At the same time, Sudeisi's scouts also heard the noise here. When they saw that the situation wasn't right, they immediately went back to report to Samos.
"What? Our logging team was ambushed by the human cavalry? " When Soudeis heard the news, he didn't understand what was going on. What was Li Huailin doing? Why did he attack his own people?
"Damn humans!" Sulfur, who didn't know what was going on, immediately became angry. He picked up his spear and shouted, "Soldiers, follow me to destroy the human cavalry!"
"Roar!" The undead army immediately shouted in unison.
"Sulfur, Sulfur!" When Soudeis reacted, Sulfur had already mounted his warhorse and attacked. Both sides were originally not from the same system, so Soudeis couldn't stop him.
The logging team wasn't far from the Undead's new camp, so Sulphur quickly arrived at the target location. At this time, the battle was coming to an end. Saimos' cavalry was slowly harvesting the remaining Undead soldiers. The fire had been ignited, and the Undead's transport vehicles had been burnt to ashes.
"General! Look! "At this time, Saimos's men also noticed the large undead army that appeared next to them.
"It's the enemy's main force." Saimos saw the number and said. He wanted to fight directly, but when he turned his head, he saw that his troops were already exhausted. After fighting such a small battle, the soldiers on his side were already exhausted. When Saimos saw the situation, he immediately said, "Hahahaha, brothers, we've already earned enough. There's no need to fight them directly. Let's go back and let them cry."
"Retreat, retreat!" The messenger immediately passed on Saimos's words. Hearing Saimos's order, the surrounding Sharp Swords soldiers immediately turned their horses around and left.
"Damn it! Don't let them escape! " Sulfur wanted to chase, but the problem was that the enemy was a cavalry team, so he couldn't catch up at all. In the end, Sulfur could only stare blankly at the corpses on the ground.
"Damn Duke Aquitaine!" Sulfur slammed his fist on the ground and said.
