The battlefield was in chaos.
A large number of South Land troops were fighting each other.
No one knew who the traitors were, but if someone attacked, they had to fight back. Many South Land people even had bloodshot eyes, killing anyone they saw.
In the end, the battlefield was in complete chaos.
“Brothers, kill!” Black Wolf commandeered a horse and charged out.
He looked particularly large, especially with a dying person on his back.
“Kill!” The Ghost Wolf Cavalry followed Black Wolf.
Like a sharp knife, they broke through to the outside in a wild rush. The entire battlefield had yet to react, and even if the commanders did, they couldn’t control their soldiers anymore.
Everyone was in a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Even some commanders were being pursued as traitors.
Of course, those pursuing them were from the Ghost Wolf Cavalry.
This was Aaron Linton’s plan all along. They had indeed gone west, but not in a strong attack. Instead, they infiltrated their own people into the nearby squads during the battle.
After all, in such an intense battle, who could tell that a few people in their own uniforms, quietly infiltrating, were enemies?
All along, Aaron Linton had been sending people to blend into other squads.
In the end, their squad also merged in.
So, the commanders in the South Land’s main tent suddenly discovered that one squad was missing. Because from the beginning, their squad had been gradually reducing their numbers to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks.
But no one noticed.
In the end, they truly revealed themselves and launched their final charge.
The formation was already chaotic. Now was the best time to charge and break out.
This was also Aaron Linton’s method to break this formation, using every trick in his book.
At this moment, the news had already reached the main tent of South Land, turning it into a chaotic mess.
“What? The enemy has actually infiltrated our ranks, they’re so audacious,” a strategist exclaimed in shock.
It was well known that a unit had a fixed number of troops and a fixed squad leader. It was clear who belonged to which squad. It was audacious to infiltrate; weren’t they afraid of being discovered on the spot?
“I see now. No wonder the Ghost Wolf Cavalry has been charging all along, and even charging at random. They charge here, they charge there, it was all to provide cover for the dispersed troops,” someone finally understood at this moment.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to infiltrate enemy ranks. It was too difficult. Even if some didn’t notice, the accents and speaking habits of the Kisia people and the South Land people were different. They would eventually give themselves away.
However, the Ghost Wolf Cavalry had been charging all along, killing all the while. Many squads had lost some of their number. Not many, just a few hundred to a thousand, but among these few hundred to a thousand, there were squad leaders. They could infiltrate after a squad was wiped out. Because the Ghost Wolf Cavalry never stopped, they didn’t ask questions. Coupled with the fact that no one thought in this direction, they successfully infiltrated.
Such audacity.
From the very beginning, this charge was designed for infiltration.
Their faces turned pale all of a sudden. They fell into the trap. They had not thought of this from the beginning. The enemy’s plot succeeded. They were about to escape.
“Damn it,” quite a few generals cursed.
In such a situation, they fell into the trap and let the enemy escape.
This was 400, 000 against less than 100, 000.
At this moment, with a clang, Benson Laydon stood up and knelt on the ground, loudly saying, “I issued a military order without authorization, violating the general’s directive, which led to this outcome. I request punishment.”
Everyone was stunned, some even widened their eyes.
He was taking responsibility.
At this moment, they remembered that the order seemed to have been issued by Benson Laydon. He had not consulted with General Jones, and directly ordered the encirclement. They realized now that perhaps Benson Laydon felt something was wrong and overstepped General Jones.
If it was right, it was General Jones’s merit.
If it was wrong, it was his responsibility. It had nothing to do with the general. He was a scapegoat.
However, everyone admired him. Even after many years of acquaintance, they were often shocked by Benson Laydon’s emotional intelligence. He always stood out at critical moments and played a key role.
“There’s no need for that,” Aston Jones stood up. “I’m not someone who can’t afford to lose. Besides, we haven’t lost yet. Issue my order, we must block that gap at all costs.”
Aston Jones pointed at the gap where the Ghost Wolf Cavalry was breaking out.
“This…”
The generals and strategists wanted to say, the formation is already broken. Even if you issue an order, it’s useless. The commanders can’t control the soldiers for the time being.
But they were scolded by Benson Laydon, “Don’t you hurry to execute the order, dare to disobey General Jones’s order!”
This sound was like a thunderclap.
It rang among the many strategists, and they hurriedly went down to arrange it.
Subsequently, orders were issued one after another. However, the strategists thought it was impossible to execute. But the next moment, they found that the army, which they thought was immobile, suddenly moved. And it moved very quickly.
They attacked the place where the Ghost Wolf Cavalry was breaking out.
It seemed unaffected.
When this news was relayed back to the main tent, the strategists were all looking at Aston Jones, wanting to ask, but daring not. Aston Jones glanced at them and quietly said, “Just a backup plan.”
This was Aston Jones.
The number one general of South Land.
At this moment, the Ghost Wolf Cavalry, who were in the midst of their breakout, had reached the outermost perimeter, their bodies filled with joy as they prepared to break free. However, what was originally a thin defensive circle had thickened, and the number of people had increased. The soldiers were no longer as chaotic as before, but fought more orderly.
In an instant, the once triumphant Ghost Wolf Cavalry, ready to break free, seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, unable to move. At this time, Black Wolf had also met several formidable generals who seemed to be specifically blocking them.
“Get out of the way!”
Black Wolf, with a halberd in one hand, swept towards them. However, he was blocked.
The three generals sneered, and said, “We are here waiting for you under General Jones’ command.”
“Damn it.”
Black Wolf’s eyes were about to split.
Aston Jones!
Aston Jones!
The damn Aston Jones, they were about to escape, but this Aston Jones had come again.
This time, Black Wolf didn’t ask Aaron Linton.
He knew that this time, Aaron Linton would have no solution either, and moreover, Aaron Linton was close to death.
He had done his best.
“Aston Jones.”
With his last breath, Aaron Linton admitted, “I… am ultimately not… Aston Jones’s opponent… There is only one… person who is… his opponent…”
