Fuhe, the largest river in the Kingdom of Lunde, is a large river running from northeast to southwest. The land in the river basin is fertile, with flowers in spring and green in summer. The most notable feature of Fuhe is its abundant water volume and rapid breathing. water flow.

Precisely because the Fu River is too full of water and has too fast currents, there is only one place suitable for crossing the huge Fu River.

That’s the Ferry of Irun!

If you want to go to Heron City, the capital of the Lund Kingdom, you must cross the Fu River. As long as you cross the Fu River, you will be greeted by a flat plain, and you can directly reach Heron City, the capital of the Lund Kingdom.

In other words, Fuhe is Heron City's last line of defense.

In the 289th year of the Britannian Empire's imperial calendar, a battle involving nearly 200,000 people was about to begin at the Ilon Ferry!

…

It is the afternoon of November 4, 289 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Within the Kingdom of Lunde, 5 miles west of the Ilon Ferry on the Fuhe River, a winding, huge army was moving slowly.

Moving towards the Illun Ferry.

After more than ten days of trekking, the 100,000-strong rescue force of the Britannia Empire finally entered the Kingdom of Lunde. There was no straight road in the Kingdom of Lunde, so the overall speed of the army slowed down.

According to the original plan, we would arrive at Irun Ferry within two days from November 2nd to November 3rd. However, we were about to arrive at Irun Ferry on November 4th.

It is a little slower than the original plan, but this slight delay is not harmful and is still within the acceptable range.

Nicholas, the commander-in-chief of this army, is now riding a horse, without saying a word, with a solemn face.

He had already sent out sentries to check whether there were any enemy troops guarding the ferry at Ilon.

If there are enemy troops guarding it, then the decisive battle will be at the Iron Ferry! If there are no enemy troops guarding it, it means that Allen has given up on the Iron Ferry and wants to fight them through a field battle.

Nicholas actually hoped in his heart that Allen would give up the Ilon Ferry and give up the natural danger of Fuhe. If Allen gave up guarding the Ylon Ferry, then this battle would be much easier to fight.

However, this is unlikely. How could a famous general like Allen give up this excellent geographical advantage?

Suddenly, Nicholas heard the sound of horse hooves approaching him. Along with the sound of horse hooves, there were shouts:

"Coach! Coach!"

It's the Sentinel Cavalry who's back!

"How is the situation?" Nicholas asked the sentry rider in a deep voice.

"Return to the commander! The flags are flying on the east bank of the Illun Ferry! After a cursory look, nearly tens of thousands of troops are guarding the Yilun Ferry!"

After listening to the sentry rider's report, Nicholas secretly shouted in his heart:

Did you choose to defend the Ferry of Ellen? Ellen!

However, although Nicholas felt disappointed in Allen's decision to defend the Ilon Ferry, Nicholas still looked unchanged and said:

"Well, I understand, continue to check the enemy's movements! If there are any new movements of the enemy at Yilun Ferry, report to me immediately!"

"yes!"

Listening to the sound of horse hooves as the sentinels gradually left, Nicholas raised his head and looked at the sun setting in the west.

It's already November, and the weather has begun to get cooler, but no matter what the season, climate, and sunshine are, it's still so warm.

Bathed in the warm eyes that sprinkled on his face, Nicholas felt a little more energetic and the pressure in his heart lessened a little.

Nicholas is in his fifties this year. Although he has had a military career for decades, he is one of the few knights of the four knights in the empire. The number of knights of the four knights currently owned by the Britannia Empire is less than two hands. Okay.

Said that in terms of combat experience and command experience, he is considered to be the best in the Britannia Empire!

However, even after so many years of military career and such rich experience in commanding an army, Nicholas still feels very nervous when commanding an army of 100,000 people! It seems as if there is a big stone pressing on his heart, and his heartbeat speed has also changed.

It's much faster and the heartbeat is much louder.

Especially when he thought that his opponent this time was Alan Jones, the "cyborg" of the Frank Empire who had brought a lot of trouble to their Britannia Empire, Nicholas felt the pressure in his heart become even greater!

However, Nicholas does not hate such tension and pressure. As the supreme commander of the entire army, every decision he makes will determine the life or death of this army, so he must think twice before making every decision!

And in a tense and stressful situation, it will force him to review every decision he is about to make more carefully. In other words, being nervous and under pressure can make him more careful and cautious.

Nicholas already vaguely felt that the decisive battle between him and Allen was about to begin.

Allen's army is on an expedition, and Nicholas's army wants to save Heron City before all the people in Heron City starve to death, so neither side will choose to fight a protracted battle at the Iron Ferry. In other words,

Their two armies will decide the winner in a very short period of time!

…

At this time, the east bank of Fuhe River.

The main camp of the Carolingian army.

Allen and Er walked slowly one behind the other.

Neither of them wore armor, just ordinary cloth clothes.

Along the way, I met many officers from the Carolingian Kingdom. When these officers saw Allen and Er, they all respectfully stepped aside to say hello to Allen and Er.

In response to the greetings from these officers of the Carolingian Kingdom Army, Allen and Er just nodded to them expressionlessly.

Soon, the two of them arrived at their destination, where 4,000 armored holy cavalry were stationed!

As soon as they entered the station of 4,000 armored holy cavalry, many soldiers recognized Allen and Er and immediately greeted them with smiles on their faces.

"Hello, Coach Allen!"

"Hello, General!"

"Hello General Allen!"

"General Er!"

…

The greetings from the armored holy cavalry kept coming and going.

Facing the greetings from the armored holy cavalry, Allen and Er no longer nodded expressionlessly like they did when they faced the officers of the Carolingian Kingdom Army just now.

Their faces were now filled with smiles.

"Hello everyone!" Allen smiled, "It's been a long time since I've come to see you. How is the food provided by the Carolingian Kingdom?"

Although the Frank Empire sent Allen and Er and 4,000 armored holy cavalry to help the Carolingian Kingdom, the Frank Empire only planned to "send troops" and did not intend to "send food." Therefore, these 4,000 came to aid the Carolingian Kingdom.

The Frankish Empire asked the Carolingian Kingdom to provide all the food and fodder for the Panzer Paladins.

"General, stop talking." A soldier said with disgust, "The food provided by the Carolingian Kingdom is terrible! It can't be compared with the food provided by the Frankish Empire!"

"Just be content." Another soldier sneered, "This Carolingian Kingdom is just a vassal state of our Frank Empire! How much high-end food can such a weak country provide us?"

Looking at the group of very energetic young men in front of him, Allen chuckled.

"Coach Allen," a soldier suddenly said, "Why do you have so much time to see us today?"

"Yes, yes! General Allen usually handles military affairs in the big tent. Why is he so free to see us today?"

"That's right!"

After hearing the questions from the Paladins, Allen smiled and said: "I actually don't have much time today. I just suddenly want to come and see you today."

"After all," Allen said as he raised his hands and put them on the shoulders of the people on both sides, "the strong soldiers gave the coach the confidence to win. As long as I look at you, endless confidence will surge from my body."

The more I come out, the more confident I will be in winning the upcoming battle with the Britannian Empire’s rescue force!”

After saying that, Allen suddenly raised his right fist high.

"Everyone! The Britannia Imperial Army is coming! Are you ready to cause a scene?!"

As soon as Allen finished speaking, the circle of paladins surrounding Allen shouted:

“I can’t wait any longer!”

"Sure enough, it would be more exciting to start a fight with the Britannias! The tens of thousands of Lund Kingdom's troops last time were really bad! It's not exciting at all to fight!"

"Come quickly! Britannia!"

"Ever since I learned that the Britannians were coming, I have been so excited that I can't sleep well every day! I wish the Britannians would come to us and fight us right away!"

"Coach Allen! This time he will lead us to defeat the Britons!"

…

Looking at the high-spirited armored paladins in front of him, Allen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Strong generals give soldiers the confidence to win, and strong soldiers also give generals the confidence to win." This sentence is one that Allen particularly likes and agrees with.

Looking at the energetic young faces in front of him, Allen felt that he was full of confidence in the bloody battle that was about to start at Elun Ferry!
