It seemed as if the beacon fire ignited the northern border overnight—

Hanlin Post was lost, and an unknown invader was found near the Gray Crow Bridge. Gereit was in a hurry and the attacker was approaching Guta.

No one expected that after repelling the entry of the Gray Knight, the free-chosenators not only did not choose to retreat, seeking a chance to rest and breathe, but instead crossed the Hanlin area and suddenly launched an attack on the area ruled by the Crow Claw Temple.

This bold and arbitrary blow was beyond everyone's expectations.

As if a divine weapon came from the sky, the redeemed person attacked the Gray Crow Bridge in the Corvi area and occupied the village of Gereit. The front of the soldiers seemed to point directly to Gula Port for a while—

Although the news has not been confirmed, the defeated soldiers who fled from Colvi seem to have explained it all.

So without any warning, a hostile army appeared less than fifty miles away from Gula Port and was at the city.

The city of Gula was in an uproar for a while.

Although there has not been a day since the rumor in the north that the army of Nicopolas has been approaching, the rumor suddenly turned into a threat that was near, and it also came from an expected enemy. People felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

The merchants, nobles of all sizes, suddenly moved, as if people suddenly had relatives to visit in Elpahin and Fenris. They rushed to the port with various permits, or crowded at the gates.

Some people with skills and capital want to go to Yunsen Harbor, then take a boat to Beikaolin, completely away from the northern border, a place of right and wrong. Others choose to set off by land to Elpaxin and take refuge in the countryside in the south.

Inside the camp outside the city.

Bud Heiyu was watching the endless convoy, with the servants carrying large and small bags of bags on the road, and various types of pack beasts. After watching for a while, he turned around.

In front of him, the Patriarch of the Lord of the Storm, made a special trip out of the city to comfort them, but this was just an open purpose, and in fact, it brought other people's opinions in private.

"Sir, the Guardian," said Mushou, "I don't think it will take long for these people to escape from this place. Gula will be left with no more people."

He looked at the other party carefully before continuing: "The Chief of Gulah has not made any statement yet, and our allies are waiting for you to mean, and what they want to ask is - what should we do next?"

Bad Heiyu heard the other party’s implication.

The other party was worried that the current chaos would affect the realization of the prophecy. There were already stark resistance in the north, and this resistance may not be anything in itself.

But if the actions of the three goddesses behind the scenes are added, it will look a little less ordinary.

But he pointed out with a hint of sarcasm: "The ruling chief of Gula is probably not without his opinion, but he just took the opportunity to make a fortune. Some people are not aware of it even if they die."

"Sir, we have known the ignorance of mortals," replied the Patriarch. "But the allies mean that it is still time to react and they can use their influence on Elpahin."

Bard Heiyu did not answer, but just silently watched the movements in the distance.

After a while, he asked back: "Did the believers of Milera, Marlan and Aimeya have done any actions during this period?"

"No, sir," the Patriarch shook his head, "although they openly support the refugees, they have no intention of going to war with us further."

"The war has begun," Bud Heiyu looked down upon, "We don't need to cause too much noise. I heard that the consul collected a valuable 'margin' from every permit. We don't need to offend him. At least we still need the support of these people so far, and we cannot attract the attention of the three goddesses-"

"Of course if they are willing to do this, then first persuade the consul to close the port. There is a lot of reason to find, and the storm is coming."

The Patriarch looked at him and nodded, "I understand, I will pass on it."

But he hesitated for a moment and said, "There is one more thing. The allies hope that you can tell me about the next plan. Harbor Gula is not peaceful at the moment. They hope to know what you will do next."

But Bud Black-Fare sneered: "Tell them that this is my business," he flatly refused: "The temple's military plan will not be revealed to any outsider."

"I understand, but..." The Patriarch showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Sir, what the allies are worried about is that the other side will attack Gula Port. They just heard that you are not going to defend this place... They hope you can give up your original plan and stay here-"

"Thinking," Bad Heiyu replied disdainfully after hearing this: "Those people will not attack Gula Port. They do not have so much supplies. They approach this direction just to cause panic. Your reaction is exactly what they think."

But he suddenly stopped.

He raised his head and looked at the embarrassing expression on the face of the head in front of him. Bud Heiyu suddenly understood what the other party was worried about, and he couldn't help but feel silent.

They lost to opponents who were far inferior to their own strength outside the Gray Owl Town, and now some people have begun to distrust him.

Although he didn't care about the trust of these people, at this time, he still had to rely on the help of these "Selected Ones", otherwise the plan would be difficult to complete.

After a while of silence, he turned around and looked at the map spread out in the tent. For a moment, a little shaken in his heart was also felt.

Will the opponent really act as he expected? He is so confident outside the Gray Owl Town, but in the end he proves that his opponent is one step ahead of him. Is it an illusion that his confidence is full at this moment? Will the opponent take the trick and have already seen through his thoughts?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! This idea cannot be suppressed once it arises. The caution in his heart makes his eyes shift repeatedly between the two place names on the map, one of which says Gula Port, and the other is Gray Tree Ridge. He raised his hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally replied:

"Well, I will send some more people to Ash Tree Ridge... and I will stay here. Gula Port has the City Guards, the Port Guards, and with us, we will definitely not let the other party attack in," he looked at the other party and said, "You can rest assured that they will continue to implement the original plan, and I will ensure that all this will be carried out smoothly."

The pastor looked at him with some surprise. This was the first time he saw the guardian change his mind temporarily.

This surprised him slightly, but no matter what, it was finally a good thing, and even an unexpected surprise. He didn't have hope at first, but now he nodded quickly and then left in a hurry.

Bud Heiyu looked at the other party's back as he left, and finally turned his gaze on the map. Reason told him that the other party would not do this, but there was another answer in his intuition.

He always trusted his intuition, but now he is a little unsure.

...

The emergency outside Gula Port shocked the entire northern border for a moment.

The same shock naturally appeared in the community, but what shocked people was not the sharp attack of the redeemed side, but the ignorance of the consequences of this plan.

Not everyone is optimistic about this bold and reckless action.

They believed that perhaps a victory had already made the redeemed party a little too inflated, or perhaps the other party successfully proved himself in this night attack, but the Crow Claw Temple was not a fool, and the same tactics were often difficult to work again and again.

Perhaps this is also a trick to take advantage of the opponent's misunderstandings, but no matter what, the opponent always reacts.

They might have invaded Hanlin and captured Gray Crow Bridge and Geleit, but what about next?

In front is Gula Port, where the city is high and the pool is deep, and the army of the Crow Claw Temple is waiting for battle, and even the city guards and port guards of Gula Port. With the strength of the redeemed person, it is impossible to easily capture this port.

But stalemate means being dragged into a head-on battle, which is something the redeemed party should try its best to avoid - because the strength of the two sides is so different.

When that time comes, the free-chosenators will fall into a dilemma - should they continue to stay and persevere, or should they retreat to Gray Owl Town under the threat of the other party?

No matter which choice, it means failure in the military sense—

More importantly, the dilemma that once faced by the Crow Claw Temple has now turned to the free-chosen party. They launched a counterattack with lightning speed, but once they were frustrated, the weaknesses of the logistics and supply lines would be exposed to the enemy.

This risk can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, but the commander of the redeemed side seemed to be unaware of it, and the front of the soldier still passed through Galeit and continued to move forward.

This fell into the eyes of those bystanders and there was an excuse to attack:

"This Dragon Alchemist seems to be just a lucky moment and does not know any tactics."

"This is simply a death-sending act."

"Is this possible with thousands of people trying to capture Gula?"

Although the supporters were determined to refute, they didn't know how to speak in the face of facts for a while.

On the other hand, the news from Gula Port is also not optimistic. Bad Heiyu, who retreated to Gula area, actually made the most conservative decision to launch defense outside Gula Port.

"It's over."

The analyst immediately realized that this was a dangerous sign:

"If the Crow Claw Temple chooses a more radical tactic, there may be a turning point. After all, relying on its excellent battlefield closure ability, a miracle similar to the Battle of Gray Owl Town may happen. The side of the Seven Seas Brigade is not afraid of random battles, but if the other party uses this stupid method, the hope will be slim."

"I think so too, Bard Black Feather has always been known for his caution. It seems that this time, he is also worthy of being the chief military commander of the Crow Claw Temple."

"But after saying so much, how should the redeemed party deal with this situation?"

"The best way is to recognize the reality and realize that the opponent has reacted, and immediately retreat to Gray Owl Town."

"They still have a chance to rest and gather more rebellious forces. They will seek another chance to "A Night of Miracle" before the counterattack of the Crow Claw Temple arrives."

After the dreamlike victory in Gray Owl Town, the community has given the title of the night of battle. Although it has not yet entered the official record, it has basically become a custom.

But the optimistic analysis has not been recognized by everyone:

"But miracles can never happen again and again."

"The power of a person and a team has limited impact on the war. Even though the power of resistance has gradually gathered, it is still weak compared to the giant Crow Claw Temple. They can win one victory or two victory, but one side of the temple will never give the refugees a chance again and again. If you trap the Gray Owl Town, the final result will inevitably be defeated..."

People couldn't help but fall silent.

This is actually exactly what they foresaw the Qihai Brigade faced.

It is difficult to avoid rapid defeat by taking the initiative, but even if you are trapped in Gray Owl Town, the final result is to extend the time of failure.

Under such an environment, rumors spread in the community for a while, and some rumors said that the party who was redeemed had failed and Chihuke Ke was retreating.

After a while, some people said that the free-chosenators lost in the attack on Gula and are now in a dilemma.

Among the many false information, it is difficult for people to judge which one is the real source of information for a while. The redeemed people seemed to have disappeared overnight, and there was no news.

And the ID that once posted a live video - "Mr. Knight's Fairy Miss" has never appeared again.

Unlike others, the wandering horse was a channel for himself to find information. After overturning the rumors that seemed unworthy, he gradually formed a somewhat abnormal picture scroll from the word-of-mouthed information circulated from the community.

The free-chosenators did not attack Gula Port—

But this answer is even more confusing. If they are not in this direction, where will they go?

He silently watched the discussion above the community, and there were some different voices inside:

"Maybe they weren't attacking Port Gula?"

"What if their target is a little further north?"

Of course, some people have raised such questions.

But such doubts seem ridiculous to people. Wouldn’t you expose your back and forth to the enemy bypassing Gula Port? What should you do with the supply line and how should the logistics be handled?
