Late at night.
The Flaming Velvet City was pitch-black. The surging thunder and torrential rain swept over, shrouding everything between heaven and earth in the storm.
From time to time, the lightning flashed across the sky, leaving a shocking flash of lightning on the dark curtain of the night, followed by deafening thunder.
The Flaming Velvet Castle seemed to be located in the middle of the thunderstorm. The continuous flashes of lightning and bursts of thunder seemed to be able to turn this exquisite and magnificent castle into ashes at any time.
The candlelight in the castle seemed to be swaying due to the influx of wind, as if it would be blown out in the next moment.
"Father-in-law, the lords around Linshui City have responded to my call and sent troops to block the retreat of the Blood Cavalry. Now, it's raining heavily and the road is muddy. It's the best time to trap the Blood Cavalry in Linshui City!"
Earl Brugan stood on the balcony of the castle. The flashes of lightning from time to time reflected on his face, making it bright and dark.
After a moment, he finally made up his mind and ordered,
"Good! Flaming Velvet Army, assemble! "
With this order, the five knights of the Brugan Family immediately bowed and left the room to gather the army.
The Earl Of Avon couldn't hide his excitement. The nightmare that had been haunting his mind all this time was finally coming to an end.
The humiliation of Alfalfa City was finally going to be completely washed away by this storm.
Turning around, the Earl Of Avon saw a beautiful figure standing at the door.
He felt warm in his heart and quickly walked up to her. He stared at his fiancée's beautiful face and said in a deep voice,
"Grace, I will dedicate the glory of this victory to you!"
Grace smiled gently and lowered her head, as if she couldn't bear the burning gaze of her fiancé.
Her bashful appearance made Count Elven want to pull her into his arms, but when he reached out his hand, Grace took a step back and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to help you."
"Then I will pray to my Lord for you. May you return victorious as soon as possible!"
The Earl Of Avon's hands stopped awkwardly in mid-air. He seemed to have realized his impoliteness, so he quickly retracted his hands, bowed, and left quickly.
Count Brogan, who had seen everything, also walked to his daughter and said softly, "When we return victorious this time, you won't resist Evan like this anymore."
However, Grace stubbornly pursed her lips and said, "Disregarding the safety of White Dew City and his family, he only wanted to wash away his shame. He even used the name of the Duke to issue a conscription order to the surrounding feudal lords and used marriage to force the Fire Velvet Army to serve him...
This kind of victory is not worth boasting about, and there is not much honor to speak of. "
"But a victory is still a victory," Count Brugen said seriously. "If he wins this battle, he will be the future master of the Eastern Region."
After saying this, Count Brugen ignored his daughter who was throwing a tantrum and strode out.
…
The rain had stopped.
It was as if the heavens also knew that the final battle was approaching. The atmosphere was more or less set, and it was time for the main course to be served.
Standing on the city wall of Linshui City, Colin looked at the distant plains in silence.
Winter was approaching, and the outskirts were bleak. The heavy rain had gradually become mixed with some snowflakes.
At this time, the rain had passed, and the sky was clear, but the temperature had dropped significantly. The north wind whistled past, making people shiver.
Amidst the hurried footsteps, a messenger quickly approached.
Seeing that Colin had no intention of reaching out to take it, Prince Harrison, who was standing guard at the side, took the military report. After flipping through it, he reported softly,
"Teacher, the Fire Velvet Army has moved out."
Only then did Colin come back to his senses, and an unfathomable smile appeared on his face. "We are surrounded."
Then, he turned to look at the solemn Prince Harrison and asked, "Which direction do you think we should go to break out of the encirclement?"
Hearing this, Prince Harrison immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Even though Colin had always appeared to have a card up his sleeve, Prince Harrison had been unable to remain calm these days as he watched the eastern army gather around Linshui City.
Hearing Colin's question, Prince Harrison thought that this was a test from his teacher, and hurriedly said the answer he had pondered over for many days.
"Teacher, I think we should break out of the encirclement to the west!"
"Why?"
"First, the western side is formed by the allied forces of the various eastern lords. Although they moved out early with the intention of blocking our retreat, their composition is, after all, complex. Without tacit cooperation, it is very difficult to form a unified and coordinated battle rhythm. Even if they have a large number of people, it is the direction we have the most hope of breaking through.
"Secondly, although the army in the north has fewer people, they are still cavalry. Once entangled, it will be very difficult for us to shake them off.
And although there is no enemy in the east, going east will only lead us further and further away until we reach the desperate situation of Radiant Moon Forest.
"As for the south, there is the strongest army in the east — the Fire Velvet Army …"
"The strongest army in the east?" Hearing this, Colin couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.
Prince Harrison also awkwardly touched his nose and said, "Although the eastern army has always been weak, the Fire Velvet Army is, after all, famous. They should still have some strength. We don't have enough troops, so it is best not to gnaw on this hard bone …"
"No!" Colin slowly shook his head and said, "I want to smash this hard bone!"
Prince Harrison looked at his teacher in shock. After a long while, he said, "Teacher, is this what you meant by taking them by surprise?"
"Yes." Colin said seriously, "The eastern army will definitely not think that I will break through to the south. They think that I will escape to the west, but I have never thought of escaping!
The strongest army in the east?
Haha.
I want to crush the pride of the eastern army, cross the Alxis Mountains, and kill my way to White Dew City! "
Prince Harrison's mouth was wide open, and he didn't know what to say.
If an ordinary general said such words, he would only think that the general was crazy.
However, in the face of this Guardian of the Northern Territory who had outstanding military exploits, Prince Harrison suddenly felt that this wasn't a ridiculous joke.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a rush of blood in his heart.
Creating a miracle in a desperate situation, wasn't this a hero?
Under Prince Harrison's admiring eyes, Colin ordered the messenger, "Assemble the army!"
"Yes!"
Woo —
The bugle pierced the sky of Linshui City.
The residents in the city nervously looked at the Blood Cavalry soldiers flying by on the street, and they were so scared that they shrank on the roadside and shivered.
Colin stood on the city wall, quietly looking at the Blood Cavalry soldiers gathering at his feet like water, and couldn't help but feel excited.
Insufficient troops?
The corner of Colin's mouth couldn't help but curl into a sneer.
He was going to use these 3,000 Blood Cavalry soldiers to completely break the backbone of the eastern army!
"Out of the city!"
