Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"Cross the river immediately!"

"Battal Commander, is it too early? The Legion Commander said that the crossing of the river would be completed before three o'clock, but it is less than one o'clock now. Moreover, the brothers have traveled a long distance and are a little weak in energy."

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

"Don't dare."

"Hmph, Warwick from the Second Cavalry Brigade just sent me news that the enemy has fled across Henan. If we were later, how could we explain it to the regiment commander?!

Besides, the enemy is fleeing while being attacked by us in turn. Their condition will only be worse than ours. Moreover, we have three thousand people, while the enemy only has five or six hundred cavalry. What are we afraid of? "

"That's what the adults taught you."

"Don't be impatient, organize a river crossing immediately after lunch."

"Yes!"

------------

"Commander Hank, we have just received news that the enemy has definitely crossed the Orin River, and they have fled all the way south, and several reconnaissance strongholds have been destroyed by them.

However, due to the speed of message transmission, temporary strongholds No. 22 and No. 23 in the southeast and southwest of the ferry have not received the message yet.

The news from these two places at noon should not come until six o'clock in the evening. "

"It seems that the enemy has indeed fled south. There are a thousand miscellaneous soldiers stationed in the temporary strongholds No. 22 and 23. Although the combat power is limited, the defense is still sufficient. It is impossible for the enemy to quietly capture No. 2 They should have bypassed Temporary Base No. 22 far away."

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"Where is the second battalion?"

"The Second Battalion has indeed accelerated its march. The commander of the Second Battalion has promised to arrive at the north bank of the Orin River before noon tomorrow. Sir, are you worried?"

"Yes, I am a little worried that the enemy will be forced to break out in the opposite direction because we are chasing too closely behind and blocking the front too tightly. Although I think this probability is low, I have to be cautious.

Judging from what the three brigades of the cavalry battalion discovered today, the enemy has already run a long distance south. Even if they want to go north in a circle, it is estimated that they will be too late before noon tomorrow. "

"Unless they're crazy and marching long distances at night."

"Haha, that's right, unless they are crazy and march long distances at night."

In the Evernight Forest, long-distance marches at night, aside from the ferocious monsters that like to be active at night, simply because the line of sight in the dense forest is severely obstructed, a cavalry force might be able to disperse less than half of its troops after a quick march in an hour.

So normally, the time when you can travel normally is during the day.

------------

"Boss, we are back!"

"Boss, you and I, Yaqis and I, pulled out a reconnaissance stronghold. In addition, we found traces of wolf cavalry on the way around."

"Very well, you two go down and rest first."

"Sir, there is another news from the ferry. The orc camp has crossed the river and is speeding up to turn south." Just after Levi saw off Achis and Siegfried, he received another news from Villefort.

"Very good, now it depends on the response speed of the orc cavalry. The north bank of the Orin River is relatively empty now, but further north it will definitely be blocked. As long as the three orc cavalry brigades continue to pursue separately as before, then we There's a chance!

Uncle Bellam, please bring the family's private army and do what I said last night! "

"Yes!"

--------------

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Warwick, the captain of the second battalion of the Wolf Cavalry, who had been pursuing for a long time after crossing the river, felt something was wrong.

"Stop!"

"Captain, what's wrong?"

"I feel something is wrong. Along the way, we didn't find any trace of the cavalry marching. Even though most of the ground is covered with pine needles, which will cover up the hoof prints, the passage of a large number of cavalry will always leave horse dung and urine.

In the past, we could always find some clues after chasing for a period of time, but today there are no clues at all. It's so strange!

Maybe the enemy is not in front of us, but hiding behind us! "

Warwick's deputy was immediately stunned by Warwick's guess, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that it was really possible.

"Doss, you first take a hundred brothers and speed up to temporary stronghold No. 23 ahead to ask. By the way, see if there are any traces ahead. I will take the remaining brothers and go back to search carefully."

"Captain, if I find any trace here"

"Then you can directly notify the nearby temporary stronghold No. 23 and other friendly forces. The 1st and 3rd Cavalry Brigade can also notify."

"Okay, then I'm going."

"Go."

"Cunning humans, you won't really be playing hide and seek with me this time." Warwick murmured as he watched the adjutant continue south.

Immediately, he returned with the remaining 700 or so wolf riders, trying to search for traces of Li Wei near the Orin River.

Just after Warwick discovered something was wrong and returned to the division to go north, the other two cavalry brigades also discovered something was wrong, but they did not return north immediately, but planned to confirm each other's intelligence first.

----------

"Lord Baron, all the traps in the valley have been laid out, but the ignition materials are still slightly insufficient. The effect of pine needles and pine needles is very limited."

"Thank you for your hard work, Villefort, there is nothing we can do. Our conditions are limited, and this is all we can do for the time being."

"Boss, the luring traces outside the valley have been laid out. If everything goes well, the enemy should follow the traces I left from the southwest and chase them all the way into this valley."

"Very good, everything is ready now, it just depends on when the fish takes the bait."

Suddenly, Levi's heart moved. A shadow servant placed outside the valley sent a warning. A group of wolf cavalry, numbering between 500 and 800, was heading towards the valley where Levi was hiding.

"Send the order, get ready for battle!"

The soldiers who had packed up all their belongings got on their horses one after another, waiting for Li Wei's next order.

Within a few minutes, a peregrine falcon raised by a hunter suddenly broke into the valley, and the hunters on the periphery also discovered the whereabouts of the wolf cavalry.

"Captain, we seem to have really caught a big fish this time. According to these traces, the enemy should have hidden in that valley."

"Hahahaha, although these mice are cunning, they still can't blind me, Warwick!"

"My lord, you are wise!"

"Hlindi, you bring a hundred people in to check the situation first, and I will take care of you from behind."

"Yes, my lord!"

When Hlindi broke into the valley with a hundred people, he was greeted by nearly a hundred Ice Blade knights.

In just one charge, nearly one-third of Hlindi's one hundred men were lost, while the Ice Knights were almost unscathed. But the Ice Knights had no intention of continuing the pursuit. Instead, they seemed to be covering the large army as they fled towards another exit of the valley.

"Quickly, tell the captain that the enemy is trying to escape!"

Hollindi, who thought he knew the enemy's intentions, immediately asked his men to report the news to Warwick.
