"Everything is ready, when do we take action?"

Early the next morning, Joseph woke me up from my sleep. The guns and swords I had seen in the armory were neatly sorted and stacked on the ground.

"Have you given everything away?" I sat up and rubbed my head with both hands so that I could wake up quickly.

"Firearms and close-quarters weapons have been distributed, but we also found some blocks..."

"Those are treasures. Remember to take them with you when you set off." When I heard the word "square", I immediately became energetic. "How are the boys doing?"

"Everything is fine, sir. We are ready to fight." Joseph saluted me and said excitedly.

"Where are Reza's troops? Where are they?"

"The report last night said that they were moving north. I suspect that our soldiers escorting Kelode were discovered by him, and he concluded that we were hiding in the Jackdaw Mountains." Joseph quickly gave the answer, and then

A little addition was given: "The location where they entered the mountain was about a hundred miles west of us."

"This is really a beautiful misunderstanding," I laughed, got up and put on my armor, "Have you guys had breakfast?"

"Everyone has eaten," Joseph handed me a bowl of hot soup, "except you, my lord."

"Very good," I took the hot broth and drank it all in one gulp, "pass the order, everyone gathers and prepares to leave. We must rush to the Jackdaw Mountains before noon and give Resa a head-on blow!"

"Yes!" Joseph put his feet together, gave me a military salute, and ran to the side to gather the troops.

For these soldiers, such a long period of rest and recuperation had already made them a little nervous. I soon heard cheers from them, which was their desire for war.

Everyone quickly put down their belongings, quickly put on their firearms, prepared bullets and swords, and left the hiding place in an orderly manner one by one, forming a neat queue at the entrance of the cave.

"Soldiers!" I stood on a tall rock so that everyone could see me. Standing next to me were Skade, Joseph and other officers.

All the soldiers calmed down and looked up at me in unison, "We have to hurry up, so I won't talk nonsense." I pulled out the broken steel. I didn't know what kind of steel the sword blade was made of, reflecting in the sunlight.

Dazzling brilliance, "The Pride of the Dragon is looking for us like headless flies in the Jackdaw Mountains. It's time to take the initiative to find them and let them see how powerful we are!"

"For the soldiers of my hometown, for the kingdom, for the fairies, let's go!" I shouted the slogan loudly, and the broken steel I held high was slashed forward. The officers returned to their respective teams amidst the shouts of the soldiers, leading the

The troops began to march towards the Jackdaw Mountains.

"Excluding the scouts, how many soldiers do we have who can fight?" I walked up to Joseph who was surveying the terrain and asked in a low voice.

"Not many, sir," Joseph put down the telescope, his face still very excited, "Excluding the scouts, we still have 2,700 soldiers, but I believe we can leave a deep impression on the Pride of the Dragon."

"It's a good thing to be confident," I patted him on the shoulder. "We have a full set of dwarf metal equipment." I hammered the armor on his body, which was made up of several sets of dwarf armor. "I have to confirm again.

Although I ordered you to bring those cubes before?"

"Bring it, sir," Joseph answered in the affirmative at first, and then asked curiously: "What are those squares?"

"A weapon that is enough to change the form of a war," I said to him with a smile. After thinking about it, I added: "Remember the mechanical guards you and I saw when we entered the dwarf ruins?"

"Remember," Joseph nodded, then opened his eyes wide, as if he suddenly thought of something, "You mean..."

"Yes, those squares are," I answered in the affirmative, which made Joseph even more excited.

"God," he opened his mouth excitedly, "I can even imagine the scene where those imperial soldiers were killed by these mechanical villains and cried for their fathers and mothers."

"Let's continue marching," I agreed with a smile, "Remember to disperse all the scouts, especially after entering the Jackdaw Mountains, so that we can fully grasp the whereabouts of that army."

"Don't worry, sir." When talking about his work, Joseph showed a reassuring and experienced smile, "That is an army of tens of thousands of people, and it cannot be hidden no matter what."

The troops were running forward, and the Jackdaw Mountains first became smaller in my field of vision. I know it was because there were no obstacles to cover them, which made the Jackdaw Mountains look farther away. But as the troops continued to advance, the Jackdaw Mountains became smaller.

It started to get bigger again, and I soon couldn't see the entire Jackdaw Mountains.

The roads on both sides were still lush with trees, but snow still began to appear, and the sky began to be covered by large mountains.

I stepped on the snow and made a squeaking sound. More and more parts of the ground were covered with thin snow. All these told me that I was heading towards the center of the Jackdaw Mountains.

This made me a little nervous, and my mind couldn't help but drift back to the summer when I was nine years old.

We were like this, a whole convoy walked into the Jackdaw Mountains. As soon as I closed my eyes, the burning camp, the corpses with wide eyes, and the tragic situation of my parents would appear in front of me.

As I watched the troops slowly walk into the Jackdaw Mountains, flames seemed to flash before my eyes, and the flaming ruins of tents and caravans kept flashing in my field of vision.

I thought I had forgotten it, but in fact, it happened less than five years ago. How could I forget it?

People often say that revisiting old places will remind people of the scenery in the past, but this kind of scenery? I would rather forget it all.

"Sir, are you okay?" Joseph's caring and worried voice came, which made me break free from the painful memories. The flames and corpses in front of me disappeared in an instant.

I turned to look at Joseph, who was looking at me with a worried look on his face, "Are you okay? Your face is as pale as a dead person, and your face is covered with sweat."

I was a little surprised in my heart, but I still gave him a smile and said, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."

"Call me if you need me," Joseph said with a doubtful look on his face and walked away. I knew he was still doubting in his heart, but how could I tell others these things.

"Cheer up, Saren," I patted my face hard, "You still have to face Strader alone. The past cannot scare you so easily."

"My lord, my lord," my expression had just calmed down a bit, and Joseph came back very eagerly. He almost flew to me, and before he even had time to take a breath, he said, "We

The scouts discovered Resa's troops, which is five miles away!"

"What's going on!" I concentrated my mind and all past events were temporarily forgotten. I signaled Joseph to call over the scout who had come back to report.

A soldier with a capable look quickly hurried over and said, "Report to your lord," he saluted me, then stood still and began to report the situation.

"We ran into the opposing scouts in a forest five miles away. We didn't find them at first, but later we discovered the opposing army. The brothers were a little excited, and accidentally exposed their traces, so we started to engage in fire.

"

"What are the casualties?"

"We didn't embarrass you, sir," he said with a proud look. "We lost two brothers here, but one of them died."

"Also," he took a breath, and then continued, "we deliberately spread false information a little loudly before we evacuated."

"Oh?" I was a little interested, "What kind of fake news?"

"Before we retreated, we deliberately shouted a few words, 'We have been discovered. Inform the adults to retreat. This hiding place can no longer be used.' The army on the opposite side certainly couldn't hear it, and most of the imperial scouts couldn't hear it either, but there was one imperial scout who should

It can be heard, but I don't know if it is useful." He said nervously, looking a little embarrassed, "We also deliberately retreated in the direction of the main force."

"Thank you for your hard work," I patted the soldier on the shoulder. "You did a good job. Go down and drink some water and take a rest, Joseph!"

The young adjutant came over hastily, "What are your orders, sir?"

"Whether the other side is caught in a trap or not, we have to prepare for it. Order all troops to stop marching and set up an ambush on the mountain on the left side of the road. We want to give the Imperial Army a head-on attack!"

"Yes! I wish you great victory!" Joseph bowed to me and quickly ran to the team to convey my order.

The team quickly stopped their march and broke into small teams. Under the leadership of the captain, they climbed up to the high ground on the left. Everyone lay down and hid behind the snow and mounds of earth.

I ran for a long distance in the direction of Reza's troops, and then walked back slowly to make sure I could see the troops setting up an ambush.

The result satisfied me, at least the ambush force could not be detected from the road.

But there are still areas that need to be fully prepared. I called Joseph, "Disperse all the scouts in the team and make sure that none of Resa's scouts know the situation here!"

A large group of scouts quickly dispersed from the team and disappeared among the nearby trees.

With the blessing of the fairy, Resa seemed to have fallen into the trap. Not long after, the sound of an army marching could be heard from far away on the road. Neat footsteps stepped on the ground, creating a very rhythmic sound.

I could already see the leading flag bearer from my side, so I raised the broken steel and shouted in a low voice: "Get ready to fight!"

Everyone took off their weapons from their backs, and the black muzzles of their guns protruded from the snow and mud, aiming at the road below.

The flag bearer of the Pride of the Dragon Legion is no longer a silhouette. I can clearly see the dragon on his flag, as well as his clothes and facial features.

Not to mention the imperial soldiers marching neatly in five columns behind him.

The flag bearer holding the flag high passed me quickly, followed by the rifle soldiers in the front row. As more and more imperial soldiers passed the ambush site in front of me, I soon saw people riding on tall horses.

Reza, and the group of mages around him. Their faces were all shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to see who was coming.

"Sir, Reza seems to have only brought one group of people over," Joseph crawled to my side and lowered his voice and said, "Shall we take action?"

A brigade, according to the empire's normal standards, has a division of 50,000 people, and is composed of five brigades, so a brigade is 10,000 people.

In fact, there will be a little more. Just like the division's guard battalion, logistics and staff headquarters, the brigade will also have these configurations.

But Reza's Pride of the Dragon only has 30,000 people at most, and a brigade can only support 6,000 people.

This is a good opportunity that comes to your door. Two thousand seven against fifty thousand. No reasonable person would do such a thing, but two thousand seven against six thousand?

I decided not to hesitate anymore, and stabbed forward fiercely with the long sword in my hand, "Hit! These six thousand people can be killed as much as they want. We will retreat in half an hour at the latest."

Joseph nodded, crawled away from me on his hands and knees, and the order spread quickly among the soldiers by word of mouth.

I could feel everyone looking at me, waiting for my orders. I lay down on the snow, waiting for more soldiers to pass by my position, which was also the beginning of the ambush zone.

More and more people passed under me. Even Reza led the group of mages through the line under me and walked into my ambush zone. The time has come!

I jumped up from the snow, raised the Holy Sword Broken Steel with both hands, "Now, everyone, open fire!"

I activated the magic power surging in my body, and they transformed into golden divine power, which converged on the broken steel. The morning sun shone down, causing the broken steel to emit a dazzling golden light in an instant.

"For Valencia! For the fairies!" I waved my sword and rushed down the high slope at the top of my lungs.

"Hit!" I heard Joseph shouting from behind, followed by intensive gunshots.

A dense rain of bullets flew past me. Apparently, a large number of the Imperial soldiers at the foot of the mountain were knocked down before they could react.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Reza's voice sounded from below, "Everyone is ready to meet the enemy!"
