Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 184 Pocket Encounter (3)

Count Fran was tired of running away. He was isolated and helpless, with no hope. It was as if the world had lost the sun and was dark.

So Count Fran turned his horse around, drew his sword and shouted:

"I am not a good lord, but I am a lord loyal to the king. My knights, I do not ask you to follow me to hell, but please remember that the Demon Kingdom of Avarus will never fall!"

He attempted to ford his horse across the shallows and come face to face with the incoming cavalry.

Even if it was just one person, even if it was just one person killed or injured, as the lord of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, he fought to the end and did not let down the oath he made before His Majesty the King.

The cavalrymen who had already started to escape saw the lord turning around, and they pulled the reins without hesitation to catch up.

Count Fran thought that he was not perfect as a lord, but his subordinates did not think so. This lord who was ready to die would definitely not lack knights who supported him.

They shouted "For the Kingdom" and followed their lord's footsteps. Even the nearness of death was not enough to scare away the knights' iron will.

The team turned quickly, and the horses' hooves clattered on the wet stones. For a moment, the sound was even louder than that of the attacking cavalry.

But at this moment, a feather arrow broke through the rain and hit Count Fran's left arm.

The powerful force directly pulled Count Fran off his horse. He rolled on the foreshore and his helmet was thrown off.

"My Lord Count!"

The knights under his command quickly helped him up. At this time, Count Fran's head was bleeding from the pebbles, and his body was covered with water stains, making him look particularly embarrassed.

His sword fell into the water, which was just above his ankles, and a corner of the blade was broken.

Are you going to take away even the last bit of my dignity as a lord?
On the nearby hillside, Isaac, who had put away his longbow, felt a little sorry for Count Fran kneeling in the water.

What Isaac despised most was that he took away the glory of a warrior who was ready to die.

But this is not a training ground, this is a war.

He remembered something his grandfather had said to him.

There is no glory in war.

"Tell the other cavalry to hurry up. This will be the last for Count Fran."

Seeing that Isaac was in a bad mood, the messenger nodded and went to deliver the message. The heavy rain prevented the cavalry from advancing quickly. So far, they had only driven Count Fran to the designated location. With the troops at hand, they could not quickly eliminate Count Fran's troops, and it would be even more difficult to capture him alive.

Yes, although he felt reluctant, he did not intend to change his plan.

If there were no war, Isaac would have loved to interact with people like Count Fran, and maybe they would have become friends.

But in war, everything must be based on the will of the country as the highest criterion. Count Fran is willing to sacrifice himself for the country, and Isaac is willing to sacrifice everything for his beloved motherland.

Even your own conscience.

——Hush!

The neighing of the horses echoed in the valley, which was incredible, because there were cavalrymen below, and the horses' neighing should have been mixed together. But this neighing was as eye-catching as a ray of sunshine piercing through the dark clouds.

Then, Isaka saw a man and a horse passing through the thick mist in the distance. He immediately saw the eye-catching rose pattern on the man's armor, the man's short hair that was as red as blood, and his face clearly.

"Princess Viola?! Impossible, absolutely impossible! Wasn't the canyon road blocked long ago?"

The location where Count Fran was surrounded was indeed not far from the canyon road leading to the Leon territory, but this only land passage was blown up by Viola herself a few months ago. Even if the Subia Demon Kingdom’s army dug with all their strength, it would take several months to barely pass the carriage. If they want to pass normally and smoothly, it will not be done in a short time.

This is also why the four-nation coalition forces did not attack directly from the land even though they knew Viola was in Leon's territory. After all, they had time to dig through the canyon road, so it would be better to capture other lords who had not yet surrendered.

Viola, who should not and could not be here, was reflected on Isaac's retina at this moment.

But after a brief moment of shock, Isaac fell into ecstasy.

Capturing Count Fran would at most mean taking over the Half Moon Fort which no one had been bothered to attack. It would be the icing on the cake and it wouldn't make much difference whether or not.

But if Viola is captured, it will be different. Not only can they use the same trick as Boss Cao to control the princes, but if the Subiah Demon Kingdom is a little more ruthless, they can also let Viola marry their prince and legitimately annex the entire Avarus Demon Kingdom.

As for whether Viola is willing?
That's not for her to decide.

"Quick, tell the First Cavalry Squadron below to turn around. Don't fight Viola head-on, lure her to chase you. Send a message to the Third Cavalry Squadron, tell them to advance at full speed, and mobilize the Fourth Cavalry Squadron as an ambush to attack from the right side!"

Because of the unscientific thing called magic, even though it was a war in the medieval cold weapon era, it was able to achieve short-distance communication like modern armies.

Isaac sent out a series of orders, but within seconds, the messenger ran back with an incredible look on his face:
"The Fourth Cavalry reports!"

"Has the Fourth Cavalry entered the field?"

"No, the Fourth Cavalry was attacked by an unknown army and is currently engaged in a fierce battle."

"what?"

"Report, the Third Cavalry was ambushed. Ask the general what to do?"

"Report, the Second Cavalry has encountered an unknown enemy force three kilometers away and is trying to break away."

The series of reports left Isaac confused. He quickly opened the map, but this situation was not written on the map at all.

"Could it be that I was the one who fell into the trap?"

–‐‐——–‐‐——

In a canyon road about two kilometers away from the river beach, Wendy was standing in front of a sand table.

"The shape of the army is like water. The shape of water avoids high places and flows to low places. The shape of the army avoids the solid and strikes the empty. Water controls its flow according to the terrain, and the army wins according to the enemy. Therefore, the army has no constant position, and water has no constant shape. Those who can win by adapting to the changes of the enemy are called gods."

She reached out and picked up a chess piece and placed it on the sand table:

“There are so many miraculous creations in the divine world where Your Majesty is, but I didn’t expect there would be such a brilliant argument.”

"You should just speak the translation. It's too much trouble for me to understand."

Olday, standing aside, seemed reluctant.

If it was a mechanical design drawing, Oldie would be very interested, but military strategy was not her specialty.

"I know you don't understand, but I just want to see you upset. Cool, I finally got my revenge."

"..."

When they were little, Oldie would often talk to Wendy about profound magic theories, and now she finally found a chance to torture her.

"You really hold a grudge."

"Please call me an excellent memory."

Wendy gently held her temple, as if listening carefully.

"Yeah, stop complaining and get to work. Have Zora's team move along the river, where they can block a group of enemy cavalry. Tell them that they don't need to be annihilated, but just let them flee in panic. Then have Shelley's team turn southwest to cut off the enemy's plan to join us."

"I think your use of resources is a bit problematic. I'm a high-level wizard..."

"Send the message quickly. Don't forget what the Lord said. You have to cooperate with me with all your strength."

Alde pursed her lips reluctantly, but still sent the order through the transmission technique.

Looking at the sand table, especially the most eye-catching red chess piece on the sand table, Wendy seemed particularly excited.

"The grandson of the Kingdom Tiger and the granddaughter of the Lion General, there's really a sense of fate. Hey, let me see if you are worthy of being my opponent!"
