I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

After receiving the emperor's order, Swain and Darius did not dare to neglect.

Although the sky had darkened, the two still sent someone to notify the senior military officers, ordering them to return to the barracks immediately and make preparations.

When everything was ready, the night was already dark.

The exhausted two greeted each other and went back to their tents to rest.

……

The moon is bright and the stars are rare, and everything is quiet.

Just at the gate of the camp of the Fifth and Sixth Corps of the Guishuang Empire, when several guards were dozing off, suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes in the dark night.

The guards were startled, rubbed their sleepy eyes hastily, and looked into the depths of the night as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

I saw a war horse galloping out of the night, galloping towards the barracks!

"Who? Stop the horse!"

A guard shouted sharply, raising his spear.

"From... my own people..."

The cavalry on horseback screamed with difficulty, and by the way, let the horse speed up.

When he ran to the gate of the camp, several guards stepped forward, raised the torches in their hands, looked carefully, and suddenly took a breath!
From the way people dress, it can be seen that he is indeed one of his own.

It's just that his appearance at this time is very miserable, with seven or eight feather arrows stuck in his back, and his face is also covered with blood.

Fortunately, those few feather arrows were not fatal injuries, so he did not lose his life.

But his complexion was pale, and his anger was like a gossamer.

"Quick! Take me to the consul, I... I have an important military report..."

The cavalryman tried to dismount from his horse while talking.

However, if he was not careful, he fell off the horse.

Fortunately, the guard on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported him.

"Quick! Take him in to meet the consul."

The leader of the guard greeted the others and led the cavalry inside.

……

"What happened?"

Swain, who was dressed in casual clothes, came out with a gloomy expression.

Anyone who sleeps soundly in the middle of the night and is woken up by someone will not have a good temper.

Swain is no exception.

But when his eyes fell on the dying cavalry, his expression changed!
"My lord, this cavalryman said that he has an important military report."

said a guard.

Swain stepped forward quickly, grabbed the cavalryman's wrist, and said in a deep voice,
"What is the important military situation?"

The cavalry barely opened his eyes, and was relieved when he saw Swain,

"Master Consul, the front line was attacked by the Dragon Kingdom army coming from Dawan... Our entire army was defeated..."

"what?!"

Swain was taken aback!
Earlier, according to Bo Tiao's order, Swain mobilized an elite corps under the Fifth Corps and two subsidiary corps to station at the border, with the purpose of deterring the Dawan Kingdom and the Dragon Empire.

However, he did not expect that the army of 3 people would be completely defeated!
"What happened?!? Tell me in detail!"

Swain asked with a serious face.

"Just two hours ago, our army was suddenly attacked by the Dragon Kingdom army..."

"General Olaf wanted to organize his forces to fight back, but the dragon army's offensive is so fierce that we can't resist it at all..."

"In less than an hour... our army was completely defeated!"

"General Olaf ordered me to break out of the encirclement and report to the Consul..."

Before the cavalryman could finish his sentence, he died because of his injuries!

Swain stood there with an embarrassed expression, unable to believe this fact for a while.

The First Army is the most capable army under his command, and General Olaf is also a brave and resourceful man!
That's why Swain sent him to the border.

With Olaf's character, it is absolutely impossible not to arrange soldiers for night watch.

However, it was still successfully attacked by the Dragon Kingdom army, and it took less than an hour to defeat the First Legion and the other two affiliated legions.

This is enough to prove how strong the army of the Dragon Empire is!

While Swain was thinking rapidly, the guard on the side said cautiously,

"My lord, what should we do now?"

Swain glanced at the dead cavalryman and sighed,
"Bury him well, and immediately send someone to inform Darius and other officers, let them come here now!"

"Here!"

The guards lead off.

Not long after, the officers of the two major corps headed by Darius came to Swain's camp with yawns.

"Master Swain, why did you wake everyone up so late?"

Darius rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and asked.

"problem occurs!"

Swain said every word,
"I just got the news that the Dragon Kingdom army has crossed the border and launched an attack on us!"

As soon as these words came out, the people who were still sleepy were stunned on the spot.

"No way? Why do people from the Dragon Kingdom have the guts?"

Darius couldn't believe it.

No one expected that three months after the Guishuang Empire entered the border, the Shenlong Empire would go to war brazenly at night!
"Why is it impossible?!"

Swain glared at him, and said solemnly,
"Not only that...the First Legion and the other two affiliated legions persisted for less than an hour, and the whole army was defeated..."

Although the sneak attack by the Dragon Kingdom army at night made everyone a little unexpected, but it was not shocking.

But the defeat of the First Legion's entire army shocked everyone so much that their mouths opened wide!

Among the Fifth and Sixth Corps, the First Corps is the most elite unit.

Whether it is seeking peace in the west, conquering India in the south, or Khwarazmo in Beiping, the First Army has made great achievements in battle!
Their honors are countless!
The former Emperor Guishuang even personally awarded the military flag to the First Army, praising them as the ace army!

However, it was such a legion that, under the attack of the dragon army, it was defeated without even holding out for an hour?
How can this be? !
If they didn't know what Swain was like, everyone would have thought he was joking!

"There's no time to talk about anything else."

Swain took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,

"Withdraw all troops to Malacanda and control the city."

"From now on, prepare for battle!"

It is less than sixty miles from the border to Malakand. If you hurry up, you can reach Malacanda in less than two hours.

Therefore, everyone did not dare to be negligent, and took the order with solemn expressions.

When the Fifth and Sixth Corps all entered Malakanda and closed the city gate, the sky was already bright.

The tired Swain was about to go back to rest after inspecting the defense work on the city wall, when he suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes not far away.

Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the wilderness in the distance.

I saw dust flying not far away, and in the dust all over the sky, a cavalry soldier in bright armor suddenly came out!
