"Your Majesty the Governor"

Statunko's name flashed across the sky like lightning. In an instant, the Salander officer knelt on the ground. Several other Salander cavalrymen knelt on the ground one after another, lowering their heads to the ground. Dare not take a breath,

For the Salanders, Statunko, the southern governor of the Falcon Empire, is almost the master who controls Salander. No one expected that the young man with a face as cold as ice in front of them would lead an army across the sea and attack thousands of miles to end the war. An important imperial minister of the former Salander dynasty, because of his benevolent and appropriate handling style, even the conquered Salanders rated the southern governor of the empire as "both wise and courageous"

The Salander officer replied in a trembling voice, "Sir, we are from the second team of the sixth regiment of the Northern Alliance Army. I am Xavier, the Mamunuk knight under Lord Jerome. These people are all my followers." "You are People from the Northern Alliance Army?”

Statunko let out a heavy groan, his eyes as sharp as a knife. I glanced at the hesitant faces of these Salander cavalry, and then looked at their wretched state, all wet, and suddenly my eyebrows knitted together, "Say, what on earth is going on?"

Statunko raised his sword eyebrows and his voice dropped horribly, "How could it be that you are in such a mess? Where are the coalition forces now? If you tell a lie, I will immediately order you to be buried alive as deserters."

"We are not deserters. We were sent to Alamein by Grand Duke Nile to ask for help." When Officer Salander was in a panic, he did not bother to explain the situation. Instead, he raised his head and shouted "asking for help."

As soon as this word came out, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly shook.

No one spoke, but several Southern Army flag regiment commanders behind Statunko all glanced at Cleveland, the fifth flag regiment commander sitting on the left.

This guy's prediction actually came true, and the Normans actually chose the location where they would fight, just before the Northern Allied Forces were about to reach their target. From the current point of view, the form of the coalition must be very bad, otherwise these Salander cavalry would not be reduced to this state. "Is this a God-given opportunity?"

Compared with the surprised looks on several other generals, Cleveland's face. Instead, there was a flash of excitement, as if he was thinking about something. He suddenly walked over from behind Statunko and asked loudly, "What is the situation of the coalition forces? Is it a victory or a defeat?"

Officer Salander's face turned pale, thinking of the brutality of yesterday's battle, he lowered his head. He replied with a sad expression.

"Yesterday early morning, the main force of the coalition forces encountered the main force of Normandy in Arcachon. Because it was avoidable, the upper echelons of the coalition forces hastily decided to fight the Normans in Alkave. Due to the unfavorable terrain and lack of preparation, in just two hours, 7,000 people were defeated. The coalition's left wing first collapsed under the impact of the Norman cavalry, and then the 4,000-strong Chinese army defended the position to cover the retreat of the only relatively intact right wing. When the fierce fighting between "" and "I" came to noon, under the attack from both sides by the Normans, the middle army of the old Duke of Russia also collapsed. Only the right wing of the Grand Duke Nile..." Officer Salander's voice suddenly stopped. "What's wrong with the right wing. "?" Statunko asked impatiently. This was the focus of his concern. If Princess Nile died in the rebellion, he was afraid that his furious Majesty would order the entire Normandy to be cleansed.

The scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood made this important imperial minister feel numb. "Although there was a desperate resistance and delay from the central army, the right wing was still bitten by 3,000 light cavalry from Normandy when they were retreating." Officer Salander's face turned pale. , gritted his teeth, and there was pain in his eyes. With a bitter expression, "Our army retreated while fighting. The enemy was very cunning and just followed without engaging. In desperation, in order to avoid entering the plains and becoming the target of the enemy's massacre, Grand Duke Nile could only order 2,000 remnant troops to Fort Diquiri, 20 miles away, holds the position.

When we were sent out, 3,000 light cavalry from Normandy had already arrived at the outpost of Fort Dickery. There were 24 of them when they came out. Now there are only 5 of us left. The others have all died. We don’t know what the situation is now." Fort Dickery?"

Hearing that Princess Nile had not been defeated by the Normans, Statunko's face improved slightly. He walked over to the map in the middle, spread it out with his hands, and soon found the words in Officer Salander's mouth. Fort Dickery,

Judging from the markings on the map, this is not a large fortress-style castle, but it is surrounded by rivers on three sides. It has certain defensive advantages against the light cavalry with strong assault capabilities. However, if the main force of Normandy, which is mainly infantry, arrives, Just such a small fortress is absolutely It's impossible to hold on. "Sir, we must act immediately." Cleveland came up from behind with a uncertain face, glanced at the map, and said next to Statunko, "This is to annihilate Normandy in one fell swoop." A good opportunity for the main force." "Huh? What do you mean?"

Statunko glanced at him with a cold look. The cold murderous aura coming out of his body made the temperature in the military tent drop a few degrees. Statunko was not a fool. How could he not know about Cleveland? The meaning of the sentence,

Using Nile as a lure to attract the main force of Normandy, and then attacking from the side, the Normans will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop. However, the consequence of this strategic deployment is that the bait must be able to persist until the end, and even be prepared to be eaten. Use it as bait? Are you kidding? No one dares to play this trick in front of His Majesty the Falcon, who is known as the God of the Continental Army. This is asking for death.

According to the character of His Majesty Falcon, even if he wins this battle, he will be torn into pieces. "Don't get me wrong, sir."

Cleveland was sweating all over when he saw this, and his hair stood up. He quickly explained, "My plan is this. Since the Normans don't know the existence of our army, they must be moving towards Fort Diquiri with all their strength. The Normans have just won the victory, so they will definitely not pay attention to the connection between the various troops. Then we can completely bypass the enemy's vanguard at Fort Diquiri with light troops, intercept the main force of the Norman army halfway, and catch him off guard." "What if the Normans arrive before us?" The coldness on Statuenko's face dissipated a little, and he was silent for a while.

This is indeed a better way. As long as the main force of the Normans arrives, it is impossible for France to forcibly break through the small fortress guarded by 2,000 people with only 3,000 light cavalry. Moreover, the combat power of the Nilai Guards is not inferior to the regular army of the Falcon Army in terms of equipment and training." If the Normans arrive before us, then our army can just attack them from behind and attack them from both sides..." Cleveland said with confidence and a ferocious face. To be continued
