I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 67 Where exactly is the Knight King?!

On the third day after the breakout plan was implemented,
Midnight, 0:00.

The southeastern part of Bern is hilly.

This is the landing point where Suya had crossed over. After crossing these hills, you will reach the Cornish coast. Once you cross the valley behind the coast, you will reach the Plantagenet Plain behind Mount St. Maias.

Given the current situation, if Suya and her party can reach the Golden Flower Plain, it will be equivalent to successfully breaking through the encirclement built by the Conqueror King's army and reaching the last barrier of the capital, the Golden Iron Curtain, without any obstacles.

The premise is that he can actually break through—

now,

Dagonit gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly; it was the ceremonial sword Suya had given him.

At the same time, it is also a symbol of Suya entrusting her life to him.

Logically speaking,

In this terrain, 22,000 British lightly armored soldiers clashed with 12 Macedonian combined battalions, totaling 3072 phalanx legionaries, along with three 1,000-man infantry regiments and 4500 cavalry escorting the legions.

Even with a numerical advantage, they are doomed.

but,

The king to whom he had sworn allegiance, Sua summoned him alone after dinner.

Ask Dagonet,
If he leads his cavalry away, will he be able to lead 22,000 men to break through the blockade of the remaining 6000?
Dagonit was not confident. Although he had a lot of experience in leading troops, he had never led so many soldiers, such a large army, let alone fought against the strongest Macedonian army in the world with such a defeated force.

but,

At this moment, Dagonet could only tell himself,

you can.

With a long exhale, Dagonit stood up from the hillside, looked down at the Seleucid army waiting in battle array on the coast, and a smile that was both frightened and grotesque appeared on his face.

"Everyone, listen up—"

Dagonet drew his slightly askew ceremonial sword and raised it high into the air.

He roared angrily:
"The anvil formation, advancing in a 'tortoise shell formation,' will feign an attack on the enemy's flank, awaiting the King's second order—"

"Once the order is given, immediately change formation to 20 columns and launch a surprise attack on the left side of the coconut grove, outflanking the infantry regiments on the flank of the square formation!"

"Anyone who retreats will be executed immediately by the supervisory team!"

Upon hearing the order, the eighteen knights standing behind Dagonet immediately mounted their horses and dispersed to charge towards the various battle groups to deliver the command.

quickly,

Eight British light infantry regiments, consisting of more than 22,000 men, were mobilized!
Eight battle groups rushed onto the narrow coastline, forming a long, serpentine line.

At the forefront of the army formation, hundreds of spearmen with shields erected formed a 'tortoise shell formation' and began to slowly and tentatively approach.

This is the clarion call for Suya to launch a real attack!
At the same time, it was also a smoke bomb thrown with their lives to launch a triangular charge for the rear cavalry regiment!

On the third day after the breakout plan was implemented,
Midnight, 1:00.

At the central banner of the Seleucid army,

The towering man, Seleucus, resembling a ferocious humanoid beast, crossed his arms and watched the British legion surge down from the hills on the other side of the coastline, relentlessly advancing despite repeated setbacks. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Compared to the day before yesterday, this army has improved so much all at once. The general who commands this army is quite a character."

"Ha~"

Beside Seleucus, Hector, one of Seleucus's guards, let out a disdainful sneer.
"They just charged in like idiots, trying to break through the formation with their numerical advantage."

"I can't understand how you came to this conclusion, General, with such a rabble."

Seleucus shook his head and calmly pointed out:
"Hector, don't underestimate the enemy."

Hearing such condescending words, Hector clenched his fists slightly, took a deep breath, and asked:
"So, General, what do you intend to do?"

Should we deploy our partner cavalry?

“No,” Seleucus shook his head, slowly turning his head to look at Hector with a deep gaze.

"I will entrust the Companion Cavalry to you; you will decide how to utilize them."

"Me?" Hector was taken aback, looking at Seleucus with a mixture of disbelief and surprise, and couldn't help but ask:
"General, the king has already removed me from my position as commander of the Third Battle Regiment. Now you want me to command the cavalry again?"

And at this moment,
A scout swiftly leaped out of the coconut grove on horseback.
Upon reaching the center of the army, he dismounted and reported to Seleucus: "General Seleucus, an urgent report has arrived from General Philotas—"

"Three thousand British knights have been spotted raising their royal banner and charging toward the Togus Legion. General Philothas requests that you send some of your cavalry to provide support."

"According to General Philottas's analysis, Sua Pendragon ordered a feigned attack on this place in order to abandon the slow-moving infantry, attract our attention, and secretly lead the cavalry regiment to break out from the direction of General Ptolemy."

The scout's report was finished.

Seleucus nodded calmly, as if he hadn't heard Philothas's plea for help, and continued answering Hector's questions.

"That was General Parmanuel's intention, never the king's."

"To me, you have always been the commander of the Companion Cavalry."

"So, Hector, what would you do in this situation?"

Hector frowned slightly, glancing at the British Chapter, which was being pushed back by the phalanx legions in the distance.

In this terrain, even without the need for cavalry to flank and divide the formation, the enemy would have absolutely no chance of breaking through.

So, he naturally began to speak:

"Naturally, the priority is capturing Sua Pendragon."

"I request to lead my cavalry to capture that little devil who has deceived us."

At this time,

The scout who had just delivered the order suddenly stood up, took out a letter, and presented it with both hands, interrupting Hector:

"Commander Hector, here is also a letter from General Parmanuel to you."

Hector was taken aback. "A letter from my father?"

He reached out and took the letter, opened it, and found only one line of text:

'Hold your ground'.

Looking at the letter, Hector was a little confused.

And at this moment,
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from outside the coconut grove.
A fellow cavalryman leaped from the coconut grove on his warhorse, looked directly at Hector, and said in a deep voice:

"Commander Hector, General Philothas orders you to immediately lead your men back to reinforce the central army."

Hector frowned and asked, "Why do the 40,000 troops in the central army need to be sent back to reinforce?"

The knight shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"Suya Pendragon's main cavalry force suddenly appeared in front of the Plantagenet Plain, which was guarded by the central army!"

"And the cavalry of the central army has been transferred by General Philottas to support General Ptolemy."

"After the central army, the King's Palace is on the Golden Flower Plain. Hector, surrounded by 50,000 men, let these bandits break through the encirclement and charge into the King's Palace."

The knight looked coldly at Hector and demanded sharply:
Do you know how grave this crime is?

"Wait a minute." Hector was a little confused and looked at the knight in front of him, asking with a blank expression:

"How could Sua Pendragon suddenly appear in two places at the same time?"

"Didn't he go to attack Ptolemy's Lion-faced Cavalry?"

The knight shook his head and said stiffly:

"I don't know, I'm only responsible for relaying orders."

"This is General Moso Philotas's order, Sir Hector, that you immediately lead the entire Companion Cavalry Regiment to the central army!"
