Late at night, inside Count Austin's military camp.
Count Augustine looked at the numerous viscounts, barons and knights gathered in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.
Looking casually at the endless mercenary camps outside the camp, I was also very happy.
"That's it. With such a majestic team, how can this bastard from the Demon Dragon Leader opposite be my opponent?"
Just when Count Austin was so happy, suddenly the passionate drums sounded outside the camp.
As the war drums sounded, and the unique horn sound from the East announced its power, it intimidated everyone in the camp and made their hearts twitch, fearing that a team would suddenly burst out of the darkness. Fighting with swords against them.
Upon hearing this strange movement, Count Austin hurriedly spoke to the people next to him.
"Deploy a team of people to go out to fight. Don't weaken our reputation, and arrange more people at the same time. Don't let them feel that we look down on them. We can occupy all the territories of Viscount Dalong without losing our manpower. .The combat power of this team is quite terrifying.”
Count Augustine gave instructions to the confidants next to him, and immediately a viscount immediately led the team outside to deal with the team that Count Austin described as having extraordinary combat power.
It's just that the team left the camp. Where were the people outside the camp and the traces of the army that wanted to confront them?
This made the teams coming out of the camp curious. There were no enemies?
After taking a look around and seeing that there were indeed no enemies, the team immediately returned, and Count Austinine in the camp felt happy watching the returning team.
"So soon, you will only have a few hundred enemies. They are nothing more than chickens and dogs. They are so vulnerable."
But as soon as Count Augustine finished speaking, all the young men next to him couldn't stop complimenting Count Augustine.
Even the mercenaries were here to compliment Count Austin on his victory. When they were about to obtain extraordinary wealth and sincerely believed that they were wise and correct in their outing, the general who had returned from the outing said weakly.
"When we left the camp, we didn't see any shadow of the enemy at all. We turned around and there was no movement."
"Oh, is that so?"
Count Augustine was a little confused, "What's going on?"
But before he could get confused, there was a soldier standing next to him talking.
"These teams of chickens and dogs must be afraid of us. When they saw us coming to attack, they immediately found a place to escape."
"Is that what it looks like?"
Count Austin was confused, but nodded anyway.
"You're right. They definitely don't dare to confront us. How many of them are there compared to how many of us we have. In this case, let's arrange the personnel on duty and let everyone else go back and rest."
"It's the Earl!"
Count Augustine had just gone back to rest, and just as he fell asleep, the passionate drums and horns sounded again,
Count Augustine had no choice but to climb out of the tent and once again called a team, asking them to move forward. They must move forward to deal with the enemy no matter what, so as not to cause trouble in front of themselves.
But after another unsuccessful attempt, Count Austin became furious and issued an order directly.
"No matter if there is any movement or not, let me rest in the camp. I am not allowed to go out." Kanshu La
It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, a few knights said a little worriedly.
"Lord Earl, what if we don't go out and they really come to attack us?"
"this……"
Count Austin didn't know how to make a decision for a moment and fell into deep thought.
Indeed, as they said, what if the enemy suddenly attacked them while they were resting?
Although such a situation has never occurred, no one can predict that such a situation will occur.
, after all, who could be so shameless in a battle between nobles?
Count Austin didn't know what to do for a moment, and one of the mercenary leaders saluted Count Austin, raised his head again and said something.
"Earl, how about we temporarily move the camp back a certain distance, away from the enemy's camp, and wait until tomorrow to push back? I wonder what your lord's opinion is about launching an attack on the enemy?"
This package of suggestions immediately gained Ostantin's approval.
"Yes, what you said is very good, then we will start to retreat."
When Count Augustine gave the order to retreat, the whole camp immediately went into chaos. Before the battle started, the team retreated. Although everyone did not know what was going on, they had to carry out the orders from above.
Soon the chaotic team began to move forward under the leadership of their respective leaders.
But what they didn't notice was that there were more than a dozen figures behind them. Speeding through the dark night.
After they ran past a location, they knocked over one small clay pot after another and fell to the ground. It exudes a pungent smell.
Then these black shadows quickly hid around. Waiting for the arrival of Count Austinine.
It didn't take long for Austin's troops to pass by.
Whether they are knights, nobles or ordinary soldiers and mercenaries, they have now gathered into a large team that looks like they are fleeing.
This one was holding part of the tent, and the other was holding part of the luggage, and retreating so quickly was a taboo among military strategists. Retreating without preparation was like losing a battle.
Although this team committed a taboo among military strategists, they did not realize it and continued to move forward with their belongings.
They just smelled a pungent smell and didn't understand what was going on. Suddenly, small flames rose up among their team one after another.
"It's unfortunate that there was a fire."
"There's an ambush, run."
"Help, I don't want to die."
Chaotic sounds kept ringing among the team. Just after they had marched a certain distance, flames suddenly appeared in the team, which frightened the team.
The people in front saw the fire at the rear and rushed forward as fast as they could, while the soldiers in the sea of fire also fled in all directions, just hoping to get a chance to survive.
As for the team behind them, when they saw the fire ahead, they turned around and ran towards the rear without even thinking about it.
A team fell apart in an instant, which no one expected.
Even Count Augustine and the nobles who were holding the battle in the middle, but were lucky enough not to enter the fire area, were a little stunned.
"What's going on? Who lit the fire so accidentally that the team was in such chaos?"
Although Count Austadin is quite different, I wonder what is going on? But I still don’t believe that this is the work of the enemy.
However, the heads of the several mercenary leaders next to Count Austinine were relatively flexible. They were not misled by the rigid and monotonous information about the knights' head-on confrontation. They wanted to understand the cause of the matter and spoke with fear.
"Sir, could this be an enemy attack on us?"
They said something weakly, and Count Austin waved his hand indifferently.
"How could they have launched an attack on us? How many of them are there? This is just an inexplicable misfire among our team, which led to this situation."
Count Austin still didn't believe that the enemy dared to attack them, and under such circumstances, but Count Austin didn't believe that these mercenaries were really worried.
He also wanted to persuade Count Augustine again, but looking at Count Augustine's appearance, he sighed, and Count Augustine also made appropriate arrangements.
Of course it is what he thinks is proper and appropriate.
"You don't need to say anything, I don't believe you even if you say it."
Everyone could only sigh and wait for Count Augustine's order.
Soon, Count Augustine saw the team coming out of his camp in such chaos, but there were no major losses, and he couldn't help but say proudly.
"I'm just saying, look at how this could be an attack by the enemy. They don't have the guts to come and cause trouble for us. Some soldiers must have accidentally lit the fire, which is why this happened."
But just as Count Augustine finished speaking, these mercenary leaders were ready to persuade them again, saying something. Even if the enemy was not attacking, they should be careful and don't lose their morale and lose their troops before the war started.
But just as they were about to speak again, someone suddenly ran back in front of them desperately.
While running, he shouted, "Run, run for your life, the enemy is coming."
Count Austin was stunned when he heard this voice.
"The enemies are coming, come on, come on! Kill all the enemies that come over to me. There are so many of us, I don't believe we can't kill those hundred or ten enemies."
Count Augustine drew out his noble sword and pointed it forward and yelled loudly. The mercenary leaders had no choice but to sigh, and then called their friends and rushed in groups in the direction of the sound.
But before they could rush forward, the soldiers who were driven back were frightened.
They all shouted there, "Run for your lives. The enemy is coming."
"Run away for your life, the enemy is coming. They are everywhere in the mountains and plains!"
This suddenly frightened these mercenaries. Although they knew that the enemy could not be everywhere in the mountains and plains, they lost their courage and were driven back by the enemy to attack the soldiers in their own camp. Constantly attacking his own military formation, it is impossible to rush forward no matter what.
Since you can't rush through, then go back.
Count Austinine was still behind, watching this scene in a daze for a moment, but while he was dazed, sharp arrows were shot from the darkness one after another, targeting the hesitant mercenaries.
Riding on their tall horses, they were easy targets for attacks. As several mercenaries were shot and killed on the spot, the rest of the mercenaries began to become afraid.
They can't see the enemy. Even if they know that the enemy is behind their group, they can't rush forward because of the obstacles of those who have escaped from the front. They can only act as helpers.
There is no other way but to bite the bullet.
"Retreat! Retreat. We can't stop the enemy."
After they retreated like this, Earl Austin also discovered the clues of what happened, and immediately walked to the side with a gloomy face.
"We immediately avoided the enemy and went to the nearest territory to repair it. I don't believe these people dare to attack the territory with a city. If they dare to come, we can just kill them all."
After Count Augustine gave the order, there was still a group of soldiers and horses in the dark night. Looking at the retreating team, he couldn't help but grin.
"I know you will definitely move towards a nearby city, but do you think you can just leave? We still have a lot of people waiting for you on the way to the city. If you dare to be our enemy, you must be prepared to be beaten. Preparation for destruction.”
