Mandy looked straight ahead, glancing at the epaulettes on the officer’s shoulders representing his rank – regimental commander.

The regiment commander did not make an impassioned pre-battle speech. He just scanned the ranks in silence for a long time before saying, “Let’s go!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a light door on the right side of the playground opened, and soldiers trotted in one after another from the front to the back.

Mandy and the commandos were placed last.

After a familiar feeling of dizziness, Mandy regained her sight and looked around. She was standing in the forest at the edge of the mountain range, in complete darkness.

I guessed wrong, it was night.

The company commander walked up to him in full gear and said, “Listen, you are to stay outside for this mission. No matter what happens, you are strictly prohibited from taking any action without receiving orders. Do you understand?”

Mandy didn’t really understand.

The commandos were watching the entire thing, so what was the point of following along for the mission?

Although he was extremely confused, he immediately answered, “Yes!”

The soldiers of the First Army checked their weapons for the last time and then began to move, advancing silently along the mountains and forests towards the river.

After running behind the team for a while, Mandy’s palms were sweating as he watched the performance of the First Army soldiers. At the same time, he also understood why the commandos were not allowed to participate in frontal combat.

Although all she could see were the backs of the soldiers, Mandy could sense from their steady steps that they did not have even the slightest fear of facing a powerful enemy.

Mandy remembered that when she was on a mission to clear the way, even though the enemy’s morale was low and their equipment was poor, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

This is understandable, after all, a single mistake on the battlefield can lead to death.

However, everything is afraid of comparison. He already knew the information about the enemy of the First Army this time. It was the Bauhinia Corps from the Gangnuo Empire. All the soldiers were professionals, and the Corps Commander was even a Saint.

“Are they…really not afraid?” Mandy said in a voice that only she could hear.

The soldier of the First Army in front seemed to have heard it, turned his head, glared at him fiercely, and then made a gesture – silence!

Mandy quickly shut up and gestured back – sorry, got it!

The legion advanced silently. In the dark forest, the only sounds were the rustling of footsteps and the sporadic roar of monsters in the distance.

After marching for about an hour, Mandy followed the First Army to the edge of the forest.

Through the sparse trees, one can see a large campsite standing quietly in the night by the river on the grassland outside.

Although most of the legions on the Sol Continent were strong in combat, they actually did not have strict military discipline. Often they did not even arrange soldiers for routine patrols, and only sent out a few high-level professionals to guard against enemy attacks. In addition, the legion commanders were not interested in studying military affairs, so the defense of the camps set up outside was full of loopholes.

However, the Bauhinia Corps is different.

The camp was located at the highest point of the surrounding terrain to ensure that the enemy could not sneak close to the camp by taking advantage of the blind spots in the sight. The interior was also brightly lit, with hundreds of lamp posts erected everywhere, and the magic crystals on the top shone with dazzling light, making the surrounding area almost as bright as day.

The fence outside the camp was surrounded by white cloth, and the shadows of the patrolling soldiers were projected on the white cloth, their steps powerful.

There was an evening breeze, and the flags on the doorposts on both sides of the gate fluttered.

Before the fight even started, the sense of oppression was already coming through various details.

Mandy didn’t have to join the attack, which meant he didn’t have to face the enemy directly, but his tense body couldn’t relax. The sound of the fluttering flag was like a ferocious beast, casting an extremely ferocious gaze at him.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder. He came to his senses and turned to look. It was the company commander.

The company commander flashed his usual ugly smile and raised his hand to gesture – no need, be nervous.

Mandy tried to respond with gestures, but her fingers were shaking so much that they couldn’t even respond to her thoughts.

So he nodded.

The company commander patted him on the shoulder again, turned and left, walked in front of his subordinates, and raised his hand.

According to the original plan, action, vanguard, set off!

The company commander clenched his fist and smashed it towards the camp.

…………

Camp.

Legion Commander Sadu sat behind a low table in the tent, his chin resting on his hand, his back slightly hunched, and he stared at the magic desk lamp on the table in deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, the door curtain was opened and the deputy legion commander in armor strode in.

“Master, there is no enemy.”

“We are close to a battle. Do not stop the half-hour patrol.”

“As you command!” The deputy commander replied in a serious tone, “Commander, we just arrived at the coalition border, and Lake has just attacked the coalition hinterland. How could he cross half of the territory to attack us?

What’s more, this half of the territory is still controlled by the coalition forces.”

“Oh, the coalition forces?” The legion commander sneered meaninglessly and sat up straight. “I don’t know what Lake’s purpose is, but if Lake really wants to destroy the coalition forces, he can do it in a month at most.”

“Forehead……”

“Questioning my judgment?”

“Don’t dare!”

“Forget it.” Sadhu looked at the deputy legion commander who lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and waved his hand listlessly.

The deputy legion commander was a little confused at this moment.

After leaving the legion for a while, Commander Sadu and Lord Shenyou came back as if they were different people.

The confidence in his eyes was gone, replaced by worry, even a little fear, and his once firm tone was now always filled with hesitation.

What happened in that short period of time?

There were only two parties involved who could answer his questions, but unfortunately, he didn’t dare to ask any of them.

How should I put it? It just feels so uncomfortable.

The deputy commander felt as if ants were crawling all over his body and twisted his body unconsciously.

Sadhu saw this and looked puzzled: “What’s wrong with you?”

“No, nothing, Commander.”

“are you……”

“Enemy attack!”

A loud shout was heard outside the tent. Sadhu stood up in surprise, then sat back on the wooden bench after thinking for a while: “Let’s go and have a look.”

“As ordered!”

Chapter 399 The function of butterfly thunder is not to cause death

Sadhu ordered the deputy commander to check the situation, but as the deputy commander, it was impossible for him to go in person.

Walking out of the tent, he called his adjutant.

“what happened?”

“There is a group of about 500 people shooting arrows at us.”

What? Five hundred people?

The deputy commander once suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing, or that his adjutant was tired of living and deliberately told a lie full of loopholes to seek death.

But obviously both of these speculations are too absurd.

The adjutant had a happy family, was young, and had a bright future. No matter who wanted to die, it would not be his turn. As for his hearing, as a sky knight, the deputy legion commander did not think that he would not know if his ears were damaged.

“How’s the strength?” The deputy commander suppressed all the doubts in his heart.

“All of them are at the mage level, or, uh, all of them are ordinary people.”

The deputy legion commander frowned impatiently and picked up the speculation he had just denied again – the adjutant’s life was indeed going well, but there was also a probability that he would encounter a major change, so he didn’t want to live anymore.

The adjutant seemed to notice that his eyes had turned hostile, and he also knew how outrageous his report was, so he quickly explained, “Mr. Deputy Commander.

The officer in charge of searching for the enemy was a magician. He told me that there were five hundred people hiding in the darkness and that they could not sense any fluctuations in magical power.

Based on this, I concluded that those 500 people were either all magicians or ordinary people. There was no magical fluctuation at all, so the commander naturally could not sense it. “

The deputy legion commander’s frown slowly relaxed.

This inference is logical.

Even if we don’t know the specific strength of the Bauhinia Corps, the total number of soldiers can still be estimated – the marching team stretched for several miles, with at least 50,000 people.

They had the guts to attack a legion of at least 50,000 men, and only brought 500 men with them. The strength of these people could not be too low, otherwise they would be courting death.

Combined with the feedback from the mage’s perception, it is normal to conclude that all 500 people are at the mage level. As for the possibility of saint level, it is directly ruled out because all the saint level of the coalition have fled.

However, the question arises again, which force do these 500 people come from?

Either the coalition forces or Lake normally has the ability to mobilize 500 magicians to form a team, but the two sides are fighting fiercely. Do they have the spare energy and time?

And the most important point is that the order issued by the king is not known to outsiders, so the news that the outside world knows is that the Bauhinia Legion came to support the coalition forces.

The coalition forces were so crazy that they attacked their own reinforcements at night at all costs?

But it is not realistic to say that the five hundred people were sent by Lake.

A civil strife broke out in Lake two years ago, and the magicians suffered heavy losses. The country now cannot spare 500 magicians.

If it’s not both sides, then who could it be?

Who else can send out five hundred… Lagu to this remote place?

The deputy commander recalled the Lagu Kingdom that he had discussed with the commander not long ago.

This guy has been watching from the sidelines since the war began, and his strength has been preserved intact, but what reason do they have to attack the Bauhinia Legion?

Aren’t you afraid of the empire’s revenge?

“Why aren’t you leaving yet?” Sadhu lifted the door curtain and walked out.

The deputy corps commander came to his senses and quickly recounted the details of the situation.

Sadhu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed: “You came to my house?”

The two were stunned. Did the legion commander know the secret?

“Master, what’s going on? Whose soldiers are they?”

“Lake.”
