"After a great battle, there is usually heavy rain. — Plutarch, ancient Greek biographer and philosopher"

...

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

When the last Sami barbarian who was still resisting was pierced by several spears and fell to his knees, the battlefield burst into cheers, and the **** soldiers raised their weapons and cheered the hard-won victory. Regardless of whether it was the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dela, the soldiers of the Second Legion of Winster, or the Teutonic Knights who later joined, they all showed joy. It was their hard work that made this great victory.

After the cheers, the soldiers started to clean up the battlefield. They gathered all the prisoners of war and took care of them to clean up part of the battlefield. Charles, the commander-in-chief, and the deputy commander of the Teutonic Knights, Gerard, met with the leaders of the Kingdom of Delaware. King Hymis.

King Hymis was stained with a little blood, and his sword was dripping with scarlet blood. Perhaps he noticed the eyes of the two. King Hymis smiled faintly, grabbed the robe behind his back and put a touch on the sword. , And then reinserted the wiped sword back into the scabbard. Then, he looked at the two Winster generals and said: "I am the king of the Kingdom of Dela, Hymis Dela, and I am honored to be able to fight side by side with the two. ."

"I am Charles, the military commander of the Kingdom of Winster and Earl of Sauron, and this is Gerard von Basehem, the deputy commander of the Teutonic Order, King Hymis. I am very happy to bury the enemy with you. In hell." Charles said respectfully. Although King Hymis's strength is not enough for him to respect, he still needs to pretend to be a king with the identity of the opposing king.

"His Excellency, the army led by Grand Duke Roger Ragnar and King Giochino of Ozon is coming here. With our combined military strength, I believe we can easily defeat them." King Hymis said. He wanted to end this war as soon as possible, so he returned to Bennett early to take away his queen and children.

"No, I don't intend to face them head-on." Charles said with a smile. He turned his eyes to the soldiers of King Hymis and said: "Your Majesty, I still hope that you can cooperate with our army and give Ragnar and A big surprise for Giocino."

"What do you mean?" Haymis asked inexplicably, and an ominous premonition faintly grew in his heart.

"You and your army pretended to be defeated, went to reunite with Ragnal, and then managed to trick them to our army's ambush point and wipe them all out, so that the next war would not be hindered much."

"What?" Hemis frowned. How did he not know that this conspiracy is very dangerous. If someone sees it through, he is in danger. It's okay to be caught on the spot, and maybe he still has a chance to be caught. Rescued, in case the other party ignores his identity and slashes it directly, it is very likely that the kingdom of Dela will be annexed directly by Richard.

Thinking of this, his face became a little ugly, but he quickly recovered his calmness. Unexpectedly, Charles and Gerard saw the changes in his expression. The two looked at each other as if they were exchanging eyes. Then, Jie Ludd said, "Your Majesty, if you have any concerns, please speak up, and we will try our best to solve it for you."

Hearing this, Haymis was startled, he thought for a while, and said: "I am worried that there will be some accidents. I leaked the information in advance and caused this plan to fail."

What he said was that he had taken out himself cleanly, impeccable, and people couldn't fault it.

However, Charles had an answer long ago. He paused, and said: "The soldiers of this army are basically killed or captured. Even if someone escapes by chance, there is no way to escape to the reinforcements alive in this cold weather. , So there is no need to worry about leaks-not only that, for the sake of safety, we will select some elite soldiers from our army and follow you to the reinforcement barracks. This will not only reduce the sharing of leaks, but also ensure your safety. ."

"..."

Charles said so. King Hymis suddenly had nothing to say. He nodded and agreed with the other party’s proposal. In fact, he could guess Charles’ intentions to prevent leaks and protect his safety. , But more is to monitor him, so that he has no chance to do "Yi in the East Army" again.

In fact, what Charles did was unnecessary. Haymis had no retreat. His family and the king were in Richard’s hands. His own land and subjects could be ravaged by the Winsters at any time. It is impossible for the coalition to turn defeat into victory. It is better to cooperate with the Winsters to end the war early and let peace return to his kingdom.

...

After the battlefield was cleared, Charles first sent a brigade to take the prisoners away and detained them to their previous camp, and then led the main force to follow King Haymes to find a suitable ambush spot. As the ruler of the Kingdom of Dera, plus having been stationed here for a while, Hymis is also familiar with this place. It only took a few hours to arrive at a small valley, which was originally a village. But after the war broke out, the villagers all fled to nearby towns, leaving only an empty farm house.

"This valley is called He'an Valley. Although it is not the only way from the Rogel Principality to the Kingdom of Dera, there are many people who choose to follow this path." General Winster introduced, "You can also see that the mountains on both sides of the road here are high and suitable for ambushes. As long as they are not deliberately exposed, those who are marching underneath will not easily find them."

"But would Ragnal really choose to go this way? If he is smarter, he will directly see the danger here." Charles frowned and said.

"Then you need to make some movement on another road~lightnovelpub.net~ to make them think that your main force is on another main road." Hemis said lightly, "As long as you can create this illusion, I can tell them to choose this route with confidence."

Upon hearing this, Charles and Gerard looked at each other again and exchanged opinions. Then, Gerard said: "I will lead the Teutonic Knights to another main road to make a little movement, don't worry."

"???"

Charles froze for a moment. This was different from what he thought. He originally planned to let Gerard bring some miscellaneous soldiers to make a fuss. How could he bring the elite with him?

However, he restrained it and did not say it on the spot. He turned to King Haymes and said, "Your Majesty, then the location of the ambush is set here. It is up to you to succeed."

"I understand this, please don't worry." King Haymis nodded, and he returned his gaze to the bottom of the valley, as if he had seen the **** battle a few days later in advance.

In the air, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood, and the gloomy sky gradually fell a little bit of snowflakes.
