The ambush was to be launched at the last moment before dawn. It was also the time when people were the most physically exhausted. Reynolds knew that this tense and exciting moment was about to arrive. He suddenly felt very excited. Right now, it was as if he was playing a huge game of chess. The lives of thousands of people were in his hands. Victory or defeat seemed to be decided by a single thought. That kind of supreme excitement was self-evident.
As the personal bodyguard of the regiment commander, Irene stood beside Reynolds with a face full of emotions. Unlike the usual Reynolds who was always laughing and joking around, the Reynolds tonight looked like a wise commander who was strategizing and strategizing. His eyes were full of confidence, and a different kind of charm that made him worthy of being relied on and trusted spontaneously arose.
The leader of the archer squad was Eirinn, who was also one of the chief of staff. She retreated from the group and walked up to Reynolds. "Reporting, Regiment Commander Reynolds. Our plan to harass the enemy is going well!"
Reynolds looked at the familiar yet strange roommate in front of him. His face was as calm as an ancient well. He nodded lightly. "Very good, Battalion Commander Shijun!"
Renault, who was no longer a scoundrel, indeed looked very cool. There was an indescribable aura about him. Eileen, who was used to his usual demeanor, had the same feeling as Eileen. She was really surprised. She never thought that the same person could have two completely different auras. Reynolds's unfathomable characteristics made him even more charming.
In fact, Reynolds was only making bold and sinister suggestions, as well as details that needed to be taken note of. The one who was in charge of the battle was Vashlaki. Reynolds knew that he was good at strategizing, but when it came to dispatching troops, a rookie like him was no match for the experienced Vosshlaki. There was no need for him to put on airs, so he simply delegated all the authority to Vosshlaki so that Vosshlaki did not have to report to him and could make decisions on his own. The situation on the battlefield was constantly changing, so it was better to give orders as soon as possible.
Reynolds, who was only a spectator, was much more relaxed than yesterday. All he had to do was to stand on the commanding platform and watch Vashlaki give out orders and learn from his experience.
The defense was complete. All that was left was to deal the final blow to the enemy's vitals and prevent them from retaliating. Looking at the glimmer of dawn on the horizon, Reynolds muttered, "Hmm, looks like it's almost time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several flames shot up into the sky from the center of the enemy camp. Then, a noise that was louder than the noise caused by the first wave of harassment by the archers came from the opposite wind. The entire enemy camp was in chaos, almost boiling. Looking from afar, densely packed little black dots were swarming in the direction of the flames.
Renault smiled and said, "Success, haha …"
Vosslaki, Elena, and the other battalion commanders who were waiting for orders at the command desk were also energized.
"Commander Shijun, command the archer squad to attack again and create chaos so that our men can escape." Since he was the temporary commander, he was not going to hold back in order to avoid wasting time, "Washlaki said immediately.
"Yes!" Elena nodded and immediately led a group of archers down to the ground. Not long after, there was another commotion outside the enemy's perimeter. The enemy troops that rushed out to put out the fire weren't fully prepared. In this wave of attack, the number of casualties was higher than any of the previous waves. Although it was still a negligible number compared to the total number of enemy troops, the chaos they created was enough to give them a headache.
It did not take long for Elena and the archers to retreat. Bruce, the talisman master who was responsible for the burning of food, followed closely behind him. Behind him were dozens of soldiers who were proficient in fire combat aura. Walking at the back of the group was a group of dark, short, and hunchbacked caveman warriors. Although they looked ugly and inconspicuous, who would have thought that they were the ones who completed the most important part of the defense plan? No one would have thought that after this war, the Subterrane Dwellers, who were thought to be only good laborers, would step onto the stage of the war and become an indispensable part of the army.
Reynolds stood up and welcomed them personally. "Welcome back, brave warriors. You have worked hard. The Empire is proud of you!" Although Reynolds did not know how to command the troops, he was still very good at inspiring morale. It was not just a few words.
These Subterrane Dwellers, who had been quiet after completing their mission, felt their blood surge when they heard the heartfelt praise from the supreme and respected commander. All of them wished that they could shed their blood for the Empire and contribute their greatest strength to the empire.
Bruce's face was calm as usual, but he could not hide the excitement in his voice. "Commander Reynolds, the burning plan was successfully completed. We only lost two Subterrane Dwellers who could not retreat in time. One of them was slightly injured." Although Vashlaki was the overall commander, all the battalion commanders reported the results to Reynolds directly as a sign of respect for their leader. Vashlaki was right beside Reynolds, so it was equivalent to reporting to both of them at the same time.
When Reynolds heard that someone was sacrificed, he felt a slight ripple in his heart. However, he knew that this was something that could not be avoided in war. To be able to deal a heavy blow to the enemy's vitals with almost negligible losses was an incomparably impressive achievement. Even the two Subterrane Dwellers who died should have died with a smile on their faces. Thinking of this, Reynolds quickly shook off the faint sadness in his heart and said, "Very good, beautifully done! The heroic soldiers who sacrificed themselves will be remembered by the Empire forever! "
Vashlaki and the other battle-hardened Subterrane Dwellers were already used to it.
In the distance, the flames in the middle of the enemy camp were finally extinguished. What followed was a torrent of curses from the enemy. Evidently, they understood the importance of food to their side. Reynolds's shameless tactics had undoubtedly infuriated them completely.
Looking at the enemy troops gathering, Reynolds was not surprised. Instead, he was happy. "The enemy commander is really an idiot. He actually launched the attack in advance without being calm. Haha, everyone get ready. Let's show them who's boss first! "Although he did not know how to command an army, he still knew how to use the power of the Empire to intimidate others. Furthermore, he was the one who contributed the most in formulating the entire plan. No one dared to look down on him because of this. They were only puzzled by a certain term in Reynolds's words. What was an idiot?
Of course, the enemy commander was not an idiot. After fighting fiercely for a long time, the humans in the Northwest were fierce, especially when they encountered setbacks. They thought that with the ferocity of their soldiers and the absolute advantage of having six times the number of people, they could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop or at least deal a heavy blow — if the enemy commander was not abnormally powerful.
