Early the next morning, the Demons' cavalry had almost reached the vicinity of Berokeri City. Although they had been on the move for a whole night, the undead troops were not tired and were still full of fighting strength. However, compared to their current mental state, the feudal lords were more worried about the difference in fighting strength between the two sides.
There was nothing much to say about this surprise attack. The three feudal lords personally went into battle, but the three of them, including Soudeis, were very doubtful about the mission's goal. Could this battle … really be fought?
"Soudeis, you are more familiar with His Highness. Does he usually come like this?" Dennis asked in a low voice. He knew that Fiona was obsessed with His Highness and couldn't bear to hear anyone speak ill of him, so he didn't want Fiona to hear it.
"Uh … I think so …" Soudeis thought for a while. Although he didn't hang out with Li Huailin for long, he knew about the previous battles fought by the Duke of Aquitaine. He won inexplicably in an impossible situation. This was the style of the Continental Army's God of War, the Duke of Aquitaine. This time … it seemed to be the same. But as a subordinate, the pressure was too much. He couldn't imagine how 1,000 cavalrymen could win against 70,000 troops.
"Then, do you know how we are going to fight this time? We barely have 1,000 troops here, and there are more than 70,000 on the other side. If we count each of them, we will have to kill 70 of them each. Even if they don't move and just stand on the ground and let us kill them, they will die of exhaustion, "Dennis said.
"How would I know?" Soudeis said gloomily. "But he must have a way … If we keep charging like this, won't we die? His Highness isn't that stupid, right?"
"That's true … With such a large number of troops, are we going to harass the enemy's grain depot? After all, the Demons are different from us. They need to eat grain. If we ambush them and deplete their grain, and Berokeri City can be defended, they will definitely retreat, "Dennis guessed.
"That's a good idea …" Soudeis thought for a while, but immediately said, "But the methods we can think of are generally not the methods His Highness would use."
"Eh? Then I really can't think of anything, "Dennis said." By the way, where is His Highness? Yesterday, he said that he would rendezvous with us, but he didn't say where we would meet. How would Your Highness know where we are marching to? "
"I really do know." As they were talking, a voice came from the side. Dennis turned his head and saw Li Huailin jumping over from the side. Then, he kicked an Undead Knight who was riding a horse and seized it. The Undead Knight screamed and fell to the back, but fortunately, he was immediately pulled up by the people behind him.
"Your Highness!" The three immediately greeted. The three of them had no idea how Li Huailin had appeared. Instead, they felt that Li Huailin was becoming more and more mysterious and powerful.
"Oh, where are we?" Li Huailin had just come online and directly teleported to Soudeis. When he saw the army marching, he immediately jumped up and grabbed a horse. Now, he didn't know where the army was.
"We've entered Matthew's territory. If we go any further, we'll reach Berokli City. If I'm not mistaken, we'll be there in about an hour," Sudeiss said after looking in the direction they were heading. Because Matthew's territory was originally the territory of the Undead, Soudeis was very familiar with the terrain. He could determine the position at a glance.
"An hour … So slow? Didn't you say yesterday that we would arrive at this time? " Li Huailin was very dissatisfied. He had come at the right time, but he didn't expect that they would arrive in an hour.
"I'm very sorry, Your Highness," the three immediately said.
"Forget it, let's speed up." Li Huailin had no choice but to wait.
After running for about 40 minutes, Li Huailin could almost see the city in the distance. Taking a closer look, the city was surrounded by densely packed black dots. Needless to say, they were the Demons' army. It seemed that the Demons were ready to attack the city at any time. Li Huailin could see the Demons assembling their siege equipment.
"It's been a day. It seems that they will officially attack the city today," Li Huailin said.
"Seventy thousand troops? That's a lot. I wonder if Matthew will surrender," Dennis suddenly said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. He suddenly realized that he had miscalculated in this aspect. It was possible that Matthew would directly open the city and surrender. Previously, his troops were extremely loyal to him because he didn't treat them as humans. However, the Undead were different. Their loyalty was very hard to judge, and it was even harder to predict Matthew's loyalty. Now, seventy thousand troops were surrounding Matthew's door. The Undead army also refused to help. What if Matthew directly surrendered?
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Soudeis asked.
"I really didn't think about it," Li Huailin said.
"Huh?" The three were surprised. You're only saying this now? They had always felt that there was a big problem with these one thousand cavalrymen. Did Your Highness only realize it now?
"Do you think Matthew will surrender?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … is hard to say," Soudeis said after thinking for a moment.
"There's no need to ask. This guy is a traitor. He will definitely surrender," Dennis replied. He had a very bad impression of Matthew.
"I also don't think he can be trusted," Fiona said.
"Then there's a problem. If he surrenders, then we don't need to save him," Li Huailin said. "In other words, we should eliminate him as well. If that's the case, we will have to change our plan."
"Huh?" The three of them didn't understand what Li Huailin was talking about. If Matthew surrendered, then the Demons would have seventy thousand soldiers. Adding ten thousand soldiers, that would be a total of eighty thousand soldiers. So, Li Huailin actually wanted to eliminate them as well? What was going on?
"Your Highness, I'm a little nervous when you put it like that," Dennis said. "Can you tell me a little bit about how we are going to fight?"
"Well … we will charge into the enemy's formation, attack them, and then finish the job," Li Huailin said simply.
"Huh?" The three of them looked at Li Huailin in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh … Your Highness, it's not a good idea to charge in directly." Soudeis had just told Dennis that Li Huailin would not let the troops charge in directly, but it turned out that Dennis was wrong. It was a little too fast.
"Why is it not a good idea?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh … this …" Soudeis didn't know how to explain it. It didn't look good to anyone.
"Your Highness! I am willing to charge into the enemy's formation with Your Highness! " Fiona suddenly said in high spirits. Her tone sounded as if she had decided to die with Li Huailin.
"…" Fortunately, Li Huailin was used to this situation. After all, he was a newbie, and these people still didn't know his style. After thinking for a while, he was too lazy to explain. "Anyway, we will charge in and kill them. If you don't want to go, get lost now."
"Uh …" When Soudeis and Dennis saw the situation, they immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to go!"
"That's it." Li Huailin waved his hand. "Let's wait for a while. The situation has changed. Anyway, the Demons are about to attack the city. Let's see if Mattheon surrenders or not."
"Yes, Your Highness," the three replied in unison.
On the other side of Berokli City, the Nephilim troops also officially received the order to attack. Commander Gordon actually wanted to attack yesterday. According to his judgment, it was very obvious that Mattheon had betrayed the Undead. However, Bayzera had not given the order yet. Gordon was also anxious. He sent one messenger after another to the main city to urge Bayzera to give the order. However, it was not until this morning that the order to attack arrived.
Gordon was also a person who understood military affairs. He knew that the situation would change if he delayed. The current situation was that Mattheon must be contacting the Undead and asking them to rescue him. Therefore, they had to attack the city as soon as possible. Of course, he didn't expect that Li Huailin's reinforcements had already arrived. He also didn't expect that there were only 1,000 of them.
"What's the situation with the Undead?" Gordon felt anxious as they were about to launch the attack. So, he gathered the scouts again and asked.
"Your Highness, an hour's worth of news. The Undead's main forces are still in their city. They haven't made any moves yet. There's no new information yet," the scouts immediately reported.
"It seems that the Undead here don't like you either, Lord Mattheon." Gordon naturally knew about the grudge between Mattheon and the Undead. So, he couldn't figure out why Mattheon would betray the Demons. The Undead obviously didn't like him.
"Is it because of that mysterious man in a black robe?" Gordon suddenly thought of this information. Although he still didn't know who this man in a black robe was, he had a feeling that this was the reason why Mattheon suddenly betrayed the Demons.
"Marshal, it's ready. Should we start the attack now?" a soldier ran over and asked.
"Wait, let me have a chat with Mattheon." Gordon decided to persuade the Demons to surrender one last time. He also wanted to test Mattheon's situation. So, he prepared to talk to the Demons before the battle.
