Chapter 584 Strange formation (1)

It was a strange request since this wasn\'t a position that was very important, it was just a crossing into our kingdom that was hard to defend.

From the very beginning, it had been regarded as a lost cause and was left to the enemies to freely use.

But of course, they didn\'t care about it either since there was nothing important in this area.

This was a remote area that didn\'t have any cities or towns, just a few villages in the surrounding areas that didn\'t have anything important in them. As for why no one built in this place, no one really knew.

So there was no value in crossing from this place since it would take too long to reach anything meaningful. When they reached that meaningful place, it would already be too late since they would be found out by all the scouts along the way.

There was nothing that was worth doing if they were caught like this.

It was just one of those places that had been glossed over by both kingdoms.

But the moment that our army came, there was an enemy army that came to match us.

There was no way that they could just ignore us as we came all the way out here.

After all, leaving an army like ours unattended was without a doubt dangerous.

So there was an army that came to face us.

As we came this way, there were letters that came from military command that were asking us what we were planning. All I had them send back was that we had a plan and to trust us.

The fact that they didn\'t order us to turn back was most likely the fourth prince exerting his influence, but I was sure that he would be worried about this as well.

Still, it would only take a single battle for us to show them all.

When we arrived, we found the enemy not far away from us.

The reports from the scouts showed that they were camped out on the opposite side of these plains, waiting for us to arrive.

But the worst part of this report was that…

"They have twice our numbers?" General Killock asked with an ugly expression on his face.

The scout revealed an ugly look too before slowly giving a nod.

Since he was giving a report, there was nothing else that he could do.

The information that he gave was related to the lives of everyone here, so he had to be truthful.

In fact…

"It isn\'t just double our numbers, it seems that they are close to two and a half times our numbers."

This was the final nail in the coffin.

With the plan that we had, it was clear that we wouldn\'t be able to do anything against them.

After a long moment of silence, General Killock turned to me and said, "We need to retreat, now."

Instead of folding like he had expected, I just calmly looked back at him and said, "No."

General Killock and the officers all revealed ugly expressions when they heard this.

The officers looked at General Killock with looks as if they were asking him to do something.

General Killock didn\'t ignore these looks as he said, "You said before that I had the right to call a retreat if things looked bad. If this situation isn\'t bad, then I don\'t know what is."

I gave a nod to show that I agreed with this which made General Killock\'s eyes light up, but then I said something that crushed his hopes.

"I did say that, but there\'s no need to retreat right now, right? Our plan has plenty of room to accommodate this and we would be able to run at any moment as long as the situation turned sour. Not to mention, it wouldn\'t look good if we just ran right away, right?"

General Killock revealed an ugly expression when he heard this, but there was nothing that he could refute this with.

Everything that I had said was true, so there was nothing that he could say to refute it.

Though it was clear by the look on his face that he didn\'t want to do this.

Still…he had already made the bet and it was true that it would look very bad if we ran without even attempting a fight…

So General Killock said, "What do we do then?"

I just calmly said, "Get in position like I\'ve stated before. All we have to do is take our position and victory will be ours."

There were looks of doubt on the faces of General Killock and the officers, but no one said a thing.

After all, at best Count Zwein\'s skills could be considered shabby and at worst, it could be considered a disaster.

Still, there was nothing that they could do…

…

On the other side.

"It seems like they aren\'t backing down." A person in a military uniform suddenly said.

A second person in military uniform gave a disdainful laugh before saying, "It seems like they really have idiots on their side. This will be a simple battle with our numbers."

The first person didn\'t laugh along with this second person, but he still said in a voice of disdain, "It\'s clear that whoever\'s in charge of this army is incompetent. They wanted to ambush us by coming here and now that they\'re outnumbered, they refuse to retreat. They clearly do not know the art of war."

The second person didn\'t deny this as he said, "Well, we\'ve seen the banners that they have. It\'s the dreaded army of the fourth prince, the one that everyone was afraid of, so do you really think that this is the case?"

The first person just gave a firm nod as he said, "It\'s clear that something has happened, but since they\'ve come, we\'ll give them a proper burial."

"I don\'t think that\'s the case." A voice suddenly rang out.
