Rumble, rumble...

A huge army trampled on the ground, making bursts of terrifying sounds like thunder.

The atmosphere in this unit is very silent. From the generals to the ordinary soldiers, everyone keeps their mouths shut.

The leader was a tall, muscular man holding an ax and a gun.

Like the soldiers behind him, he closed his mouth tightly, clutched the weapons in his hands, and hurried on silently.

Suddenly, his nose twitched.

Then he frowned.

"This is... the smell of burning and blood..."

The tall man said to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

As a general, these flavors are the ones he is most familiar with.

After smelling these smells, the tall man's eyes couldn't help but tremble.

Because he knew he was almost at his destination!

Thinking of this, the tall man couldn't help but lightly knock the belly of the war horse under his crotch again, and drove the war horse under his crotch to run faster.

The large troops following the tall man had no choice but to speed up their own speed after seeing the tall man speeding up.

As the blood and burning smell that poured into his nose became stronger and stronger, the tall man finally arrived at the destination of him and the troops following him.

However, after arriving at the destination, the sight that appeared in front of the tall man shocked the tall man.

He originally thought he would see the Britannian army and Simeon's troops fighting to the death.

But the scene that really appeared in front of him turned out to be a messy Simeon army position.

Looking up, there were broken tents, charred wooden fences, and corpses of those killed in battle everywhere.

Even the tall man, who had always been proud of his strong concentration, couldn't help but widen his eyes in horror after seeing this scene in front of him.

The expressions of the generals following him were similar to that of this tall man.

None of them expected that the Simeon army's position could not hold out until they led their troops to come for reinforcements! It was actually captured!

"General Erd..." A general rode his horse to the side of the tall man, "The Simeon army... seems to have been completely wiped out..."

After hearing what the general said, the tall man finally recovered from his shock.

The tall man looked at the completely ravaged Simeon army position in front of him with a complicated expression.

This tall man was Oede who commanded 20,000 troops and set up a defensive position in the middle of the north bank of the Shunau River.

Although Simeon was beheaded by the commander of the 4th Army during the "decapitation attack" before he could even send out defensive arrangements, he still managed to send someone to ask for help from Oede before he was beheaded.

After receiving Simeon's request for help, Oed immediately ordered 10,000 troops to come to support.

Oede's rescue was speedy. After receiving Simeon's request for help, Oede and his 10,000 troops arrived at the Simeon army's position in just 20 minutes.

However, after arriving at the Simeon Army's position, the scene before him was very different from what he had imagined.

While Simeon asked for help from Oede, he also informed Oede of the number of incoming enemy troops.

Erd originally thought that although there were 4,000 to 6,000 cavalry troops launching a night surprise attack, Simeon's army still had 10,000 people, and Simeon was not incompetent.

Therefore, even if it was unexpectedly attacked by such a large-scale cavalry team, although the casualties would be heavy, it would at least be able to sustain him until Oede led his army to come for reinforcements.

But I didn't expect that the truth would be so shocking.

Although Oed had led his army as quickly as he could, Simeon still could not support him until he arrived.

The position was breached and the 10,000-strong army was wiped out.

Looking at the messy Simeon Army position in front of him, Erd's complexion gradually turned livid.

The hands holding the horse's reins couldn't help but hold on tighter.

The joints of his hands turned white from exerting too much force.

"This idiot Simeon..." Erd gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you even hold on until I come? Sure enough, this defense plan formulated by Luo Xie should not be implemented! All troops should be concentrated to attack

To defend, launch a fierce attack on Su Cheng!"

As soon as Oed's yelling and cursing ended, a general next to Oed immediately said:

"General Erd, the top priority right now is to quickly check if there are any survivors and detect the enemy's movements!"

"...Well, you're right."

He took a deep breath, calmed down his heart that was fluctuating due to anger, and then quickly issued military orders one after another.

He divided the 10,000 troops following him into three parts. Some were responsible for guarding the surrounding area, some were responsible for searching for survivors, and some were responsible for reconnaissance of the enemy's movements.

Erd led some generals and rode their horses slowly into the Simeon army's position, which had been turned into ruins.

It can be seen from some traces of the position that the battle has only just ended, which means that the Britannia army has just left.

There were Rolling Army soldiers in various forms of death everywhere, with only a very small number of Britannian Army soldiers.

Many soldiers of the Luo Lin Army were burned alive, and their entire bodies were carbonized.

The Luo Lin Army soldiers who were burned alive were often located in or around military camps that had been burned to ashes.

It can be inferred that many Luolin Army soldiers did not have time to set the barracks on fire and were burned alive.

The air was filled with an unpleasant smell consisting of the smell of burning flesh, the smell of burnt wood, the smell of blood, and other smells.

Smelling the unpleasant smell and seeing their colleagues dying in various forms, many younger soldiers vomited on the spot.

Erd has been on the battlefield many times, so he is already accustomed to the sight in front of him and the smell that fills his nose.

Therefore, even in the Simeon army position that was ravaged into ruins, Oed still looked normal.

"General Erd!"

At this moment, a general galloped toward Ode on horseback.

"The discovery of General Simeon..."

Speaking of this, the general hesitated for a while, but finally squeezed out the words through his teeth:

"The corpse..."

After listening to the general's words, Erd frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice:

"Take me there."

"yes!"

The general led Erd to a headless corpse.

Although he is not very familiar with Simeon, Od has had some contact with Simeon.

Therefore, even though the corpse in front of him had no head, Erd could still tell at a glance that the corpse in front of him was Simeon.

Simeon's body not only lacked a head, but also had a large hole in the left chest. Judging from the wound, it should have been pierced by a spear.

Looking at Simeon who died in a terrible state, Erd's expression couldn't help but become complicated.

"Alas..." Erd sighed slightly, "You idiot... you can't even hold on until I come to support you? Aren't you usually quite smart and talented? Why are you suddenly acting stupid now?

Can’t even hold on until I arrive?”

"...General Simeon may be inexperienced." A certain general on the side responded, "So when faced with the enemy's sudden attack, he panicked and was unable to perform at his usual normal level, which led to the destruction of the entire army.

, I ended up with the miserable end of being killed by a gangster..."

"Anyway is fine!"

Before the general finished speaking, Erd interrupted rudely:

"Anyway, the entire army of 10,000 was destroyed because of Simeon's incompetence. It is an ironclad fact! Now not only is the army of 10,000 gone! Even the enemy army is missing!"

As soon as Oed finished speaking, a general suddenly rode a war horse and galloped towards Oed.

After arriving at Erd's side, the general said urgently:

"General Erd! Traces of the Britannia Army have been discovered!"

"Where are the Britannia troops?" As soon as the general finished speaking, Oed asked quickly and impatiently.

"Bu, Britannia Army..." The general suddenly hesitated, with a hesitant expression.

"Say it!!"

"Yes, yes! Judging from the traces on the ground, the Britannia army went south!"

"...south?" Erd asked in astonishment.

"Yes! Judging from the traces on the ground, the Britannia army has indeed gone south!"

After hearing the general's affirmation, Erd could not help but maintain a stunned expression, slowly raised his head and looked towards the south.

"South..." Erd murmured, "Why are the Britannia troops running to the south bank of the Shunau River..."

"General Oede." A general standing next to Oede asked Oede, "Are you going to pursue us? The Britannia army shouldn't be far away yet."
