At dawn.

Kingdom of Lund, Heron City.

In order to prevent the Carolingian Kingdom from sneak attacks at night, there will be a sufficient number of soldiers patrolling and guarding the walls of Heron City no matter day or night, paying attention to every move of the Carolingian Kingdom's army outside the city.

Just yesterday, the king of the Kingdom of Lund came out with a large sum of money and greatly rewarded the generals and soldiers of Heron City.

Inspired by the king's money, the morale of the defenders in Heron City, which had been a little low at first, immediately increased their morale and their motivation increased.

The soldiers who were on the city wall observing the enemy's movements outside the city also exerted their utmost energy and carefully observed the enemy's movements without daring to relax or slack off.

At this time, the sun finally rose slowly from the eastern horizon.

The originally dark sky also began to slowly fade. The first beam of sunlight finally penetrated the many obstacles and hit the earth. The warmth of the sun dispelled the coolness of the night.

Although they finally made it through the night, the soldiers on the walls of Heron City still did not dare to relax and were still closely observing the movements of the Carolingian Army outside the city.

At this moment, the Carolingian army outside the city suddenly made new movements.

"Quick! Go and report to the king!" An officer on the city wall said anxiously to the adjutant next to him, "The Carolingian army outside the city has lifted the siege and withdrew!"

…

"What?" the king said with a trembling voice, "Say it again!"

"Yes!" An officer standing in front of the king said in an excited tone, "The enemy troops outside the city have lifted the siege! Withdrawal!"

The king stood up with a roar.

"Really?!"

"Yes! It's true!"

The king immediately pushed away the officer standing in front of him and walked towards the city wall, and the king's guards quickly followed the king.

After the king climbed up the city wall, he looked outside the city.

Outside the city, all the flags that were originally planted like a forest disappeared, and where the Carolingian Kingdom's army should have been stationed, only a few lonely wooden fences remained.

"Really...retired?" the king murmured.

Then, the king raised his hands and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked outside the city again.

However, no matter how many times he looked, the scenery outside the city was the same.

"Your Highness! The enemy has retreated!"

"Your Highness! The siege of Heron City has been lifted!"

…

The generals and civil servants around the king all gathered around excitedly, and everyone's face was filled with the same look of ecstasy.

And the king now had a dull smile on his face. He still couldn't believe that the enemy army that had been fiercely defending their Heron City had retreated without any warning.

At this time, the king suddenly remembered the letter sent from the Britannia Empire yesterday: [Our army encountered obstacles at the Iron Ferry. In order to rescue Heron City faster, we decided to change our strategy. Please continue to hold on.

, the siege of Heron City will be lifted soon].

The words "The siege of Heron City will be lifted soon" flashed through the king's mind quickly over and over again.

"Knights and soldiers of the Britannian Empire!" The king suddenly shouted to the sky, "Thank you for saving our Kingdom of Lund!"

While the king thanked him loudly, his eyes sparkled with crystal tears.

Although the king did not know what the relief army of the Britannian Empire had done, which caused the enemy troops that originally surrounded their Heron City to lift the siege and retreat, the king still expressed his sincere thanks loudly.

It's a pity that Su Cheng is not here.

If Su Cheng heard the king's thanks here, he would definitely say without mercy: "I haven't completely decided the winner with Allen yet, so don't be happy too early."

…

At this time, the Britannia Imperial Army was encamped.

In the coach's camp.

Su Cheng, who had taken over the position of commander in chief of the entire army, was quietly looking at a map on the table in front of him.

After becoming the commander-in-chief of the army yesterday morning, Su Cheng began to seize any free time and looked over and over at the map of the border area between the Carolingian Kingdom and the Kingdom of Lunde, as well as the map of the Carolingian Kingdom.

Read the map while riding on the horse, read the map when the army is resting, and read the map while eating.

From yesterday morning to now, Su Cheng has been looking at the map for nearly 10 hours.

The Carolingian Kingdom and the Kingdom of Lunde are both small countries as big as sesame seeds. Therefore, in these 10 hours, Su Cheng has integrated various places in the Carolingian Kingdom with the Carolingian Kingdom and the Kingdom of Lunde.

The topography, hydrology and other information of the junction area are firmly remembered in my mind.

But even so, Su Cheng still looked at the map over and over again.

Su Cheng was 100% sure that Allen would definitely gather all his troops to stop him.

Therefore, it is not difficult to attract Allen to lead his army.

The most difficult thing now is to find a suitable place to meet the Allen Army's interception!

Su Cheng imagined finding a suitable place to ambush them on the only way Allen came to intercept them.

That's why Su Cheng looked at the map so crazily, with the purpose of finding a suitable place to ambush Allen's army!

However, the Carolingian Kingdom was too small, and its territory was entirely covered with plains. No matter how hard Su Cheng searched, he could not find a suitable place to use as an ambush site.

"We can't find the ambush point... it's not good..." Su Cheng muttered with a frown.

At this time, Alan's voice came from outside the tent:

"Brother! I'm coming in! I got some water for you to drink!"

After hearing his sister's voice, Su Cheng's frown relaxed, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"come in."

After getting his brother's permission, Alan opened the curtain of the military tent and walked in with two glasses of water in his hand.

"Here, brother, drink some water and take a rest." Alan said as he handed Su Cheng a glass of water.

"Ah, I have to take a rest."

Su Cheng was a little tired and leaned back on the chair, then took the glass of water from Alan.

After receiving the water, Su Cheng poured it directly into his mouth.

Alan very considerately filled him with a glass of warm water. The warm water slid down his esophagus to his stomach. Feeling the warmth coming from his stomach, Su Cheng felt that his whole body seemed to relax.

After seeing Su Cheng take the water glass and drink the water, Alan also raised the water glass he was holding in his other hand and started to drink.

After taking a sip of water from his cup, Alan said: "Brother, you should pay attention to rest and don't be too tired. I see that you have been looking at the map since yesterday and now, it is not good for your body to collapse."

Already."

"Ah, I'll try my best." Su Cheng smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples, "It's just that I am the commander-in-chief of the entire army now. I am burdened with the lives of 86,000 people, so I have to wait until I come up with a winning strategy and successfully implement it to defeat the enemy.

I can't relax in front of the enemy."

"Brother, have you come up with any good strategies now?"

"No, I can't think of anything." Su Cheng said bluntly, "I want to find a suitable place to ambush the enemy, but no matter how I look, I can't find a suitable ambush point, so I'm thinking about it now

Do you want to change the plan?"

At this moment, a small insect crawled across the wooden table in front of Su Cheng.

And this little bug happened to be discovered by Alan.

"Hey, there are insects!" Alan frowned in disgust.

Alan, like most girls, has a natural hostility towards creatures such as insects.

Alan raised the glass of water in his hand and poured it at the insect crawling on the wooden table.

The water in the water glass slid out of the water glass in a beautiful parabola and hit the insect accurately, flushing the insect off the table.

Looking at the insect washed away by the water, Su Cheng suddenly felt as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.

He just had an inspiration suddenly!

But this inspiration was as fleeting as a bolt of lightning. Su Cheng tried to recall the inspiration that had just flashed over him, but he couldn't remember it.

And the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. This inspiration seemed to be hanging in the air, floating carelessly. No matter how much Su Cheng jumped or stood on tiptoes, he could not reach it.
Chapter completed!
