Three days later.
The five hundred thousand troops led by Pierre Calder hadn’t even managed to travel half the distance.
One reason was that an army of five hundred thousand was too large, and they didn’t dare to dispatch a vanguard out of fear of being defeated individually by the Kisia War God.
The second reason was because…
“Our right wing has been attacked again.”
An adjutant entered the tent, his face filled with rage.
In three days, they had encountered more than ten attacks. All of them were bold attacks, as if they wanted to lure them away. However, they couldn’t leave. If they did, they would fall into a trap. But even like this, they still fell into the trap.
“In three days, we’ve traveled less than half the distance we should have covered.” Pierre Calder, as the general of this army, had red eyes. The order he had received was to immediately rush to St. Sunday in the west. Because of that person, they had even given up on that small unit. All to save the team of Lord Lyons in the west. But, on this road, there was a Ghost Wolf Cavalry, harassing them every day, boldly harassing them, after harassing them, they even provoked them, also boldly provoking them. Once they sent out soldiers to pursue, these cavalrymen disappeared without a trace. They simply couldn’t catch up with them. After all, they were cavalry, and not just any cavalry. The mounts of the Ghost Wolf Cavalry, each one was a fine horse from the north, in terms of size and endurance, they couldn’t be compared with the small horses of the south. Moreover, there were few short-legged horses in South Land. What they had more of were elephants. But how could elephants compete with the tall and sharp, speed-seeking cavalry? Therefore, they were quite helpless.
“We’ve also found out something. Rumors are being spread among the army that we abandoned that thirty thousand soldiers and Lord Lyons, which is why we’re moving so slowly. So, now the military spirit in the army is severely shaken, and there are discussions about this matter everywhere…” The adjutant lowered his head somewhat and reported.
“It seems that this was premeditated.” A cold light flashed across Pierre Calder’s face. Now it seemed as if we had really abandoned those thirty thousand soldiers. If this continues, if it’s not settled, it might get worse over time. By then, it might even give rise to some rumors. But if it’s settled, it would be like confirming this rumor. Every move of this Kisia War God makes it difficult to make a decision.
“Pass the order, discussion of this matter is forbidden in the army. Those who violate it will be beheaded. In every team of seven people, if one person is caught discussing this matter, all seven will be beheaded.” Pierre Calder slapped the table and said menacingly. At this point, it had to be settled. If they were afraid to confirm this rumor, they had to settle it harshly. Now, as the general of the army, he was also heavily oppressed. That day, in Pierre Calder’s army of half a million, over a thousand people were beheaded. Suddenly, in the entire army of half a million, there was no news at all. Everyone was trembling in fear, no longer daring to discuss it. This move was indeed effective.
However, on their periphery, there was a team of Ghost Wolf Cavalry. The one leading was Curtis Irwin, commanding the fifth team of the Ghost Wolf Cavalry. He had previously competed with Aaron Valkins for a mission but didn’t win.
At that moment, a figure approached from afar. “Report, the South Land army has started purging, and our brothers have started to hide.” That was an intelligence agent from the Ghost Wolf Cavalry. For the past few days, Curtis Irwin had some people infiltrate this army to spread some rumors.
“Good job.” Curtis Irwin glanced at the intelligence agent and then said, “Brothers, the enemy is scared. What should we do?” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” The soldiers behind him shouted in unison. “Good, I’ll tell you, the third team has completed their mission, and our fifth team’s mission must also be completed beautifully. The third team always says they are the strongest in the Ghost Wolf Cavalry, but we are the fifth team. Ghost Wolf Cavalry!” Curtis Irwin said to them.
“We live for battle, and rest only in death!” This was the oath of the Ghost Wolf Cavalry. “Divide the fifth team into three, lure the enemy separately, then cross-lure with one team as the main force. Remember, fire a shot, kill a few people and leave. We are here to lure the enemy. No matter what good opportunity you see, you cannot act. This is an order.” Curtis Irwin was an old general by now. At this time, so-called good opportunities were mostly traps, luring them to take the bait. As long as the orders were strict, there would be no mistakes. “Yes.” The soldiers behind him began to respond. And that night, they began to lure the enemy again.
Then, the news came out that the half-million-strong army had only traveled half the distance in three days, and not only did they not advance today, but they also beheaded over a thousand soldiers and imposed heavy penalties.
South Province. “Did you hear that the South Land troops are going to abandon those thirty thousand South Land people?” “Really?” “Of course, it’s true. South Land can’t hold on anymore. They can’t even protect their own soldiers. South Land is too ruthless.” When this time came, it was discussed everywhere, not only by Kisia people but also by South Land people. After they entered Kisia, they were proud and considered themselves a superior race, looking down on Kisia people. They committed all kinds of atrocities in Kisia. But now, they were panicked. They had just been stationed for a few days, and the Kisia War God came.
“This Kisia War God is too terrifying. He has already defeated South Land twice. Are we really going to be driven back?” A South Land man rubbed his head and said, it was too frightening. “I don’t want to go back. The women in Kisia are so beautiful, especially the daughters of the rich man, so moist. I don’t want to go back.” “What are you afraid of, with General Jones here, we can continue to enjoy.” A big-bearded South Land man laughed. “But is General Jones a match for that Kisia War God?” As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent. Aston Jones, the person most trusted by Lord Whiteford, had followed him since Lord Whiteford was a small local lord, and later helped Lord Whiteford unify the South Land. Such a person was hair-raising. But that Kisia War God was even more hair-raising, causing a deep sense of fear.
