"Matthew, Matthew, what's going on? The enemy is so close, and we just discovered the troops from different sides. If our troops are using the same weapons, then we will be like them now, with corpses everywhere? Where are our scouts? Didn't we even send out scouts?" After the enemy was defeated, I called Matthew over anxiously and criticized him harshly. Holding the small wound on my left hand caused by an arrow shot from an unknown distance, I groaned and asked Yunyue to help me heal it with light magic.

"Well... Sir, it seems that you said that you were afraid that our troops would accidentally come into contact with the enemy patrol, so you asked the scouts to reduce the scope of investigation... And you also said that if the scouts encountered the enemy patrol, they would probably not be able to kill them before the enemy escaped. When the main force was discovered, as long as the main force fired a volley, no matter how many patrols there were, they would have to go to heaven... And because the troops we just encountered were archers, the speed at which they launched their attack was much faster than we expected..."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong... Now send more scouts out. I don't want the next arrow to hit my head or heart." Speechless, is it my own fault? But then again, since my life is not in danger and the army has not suffered any losses, I just need to be more careful in the future. Thinking about how I panicked when I was first shot by an arrow, it was really embarrassing.

“Yes, sir, I have sent out double the number of scouts to investigate the situation ahead. If we encounter the enemy again now, I think we will not be in such a mess.

However, everyone performed very well in this battle. From the conventional volley, projectile and cross-net blockade, they all performed well. The best performers this time were the sniper archers, who used the positioning, supplementary shooting and extreme range of motion coverage attacks you taught them to the fullest. I saw with my own eyes that a master exhausted all his skills under their attack, but was eventually killed on the spot.

Just think about it, a great swordsman can easily kill dozens of low-level warriors in a fight, but when those low-level warriors are equipped with our longbows, 20 sniper archers can send the great swordsman directly to hell. This is simply incredible to me!"

"Hey, but you haven't thought about that if such a great swordsman rushes into the 20 sniping archers, then these 20 archers will become the delicious breakfast of the great swordsman. Well, tell the people below, there is no need to clean up the battlefield. The situation is urgent now. It is not good to be blocked in this narrow canyon. Anyway, the opponent's weapons and equipment are not something we can use, so we can just run away..." Thinking that my troops were using special bows and arrows, I immediately stopped my men from trying to clean up the battlefield. Now, for me, it is best to leave here early, run to the East Continent, find a place to hide well, and then plan for the future.

"Sir, the scouts reported that there is a small mountain village not far ahead. They did not alarm the people inside. What do you think we should do? Go around it?" Soon after we set off, the scouts immediately reported back, but Matthew's words made me want to beat him up. If I don't go around the mountain village, do I have to let the people inside see us naked before leaving? Or do I have to massacre the village

"Go around! Do you want the East Continental coalition to know how many people we have, how many horses we brought, and when and from which direction we went? Unless there is really no other way, we must not let others know the specific situation of our troops, otherwise we will face more troubles in the future. Moreover, those East Continental people will also target our troops to deal with our troops. If they bring hundreds of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people with them, will we bite them to death with our teeth?"

After killing Matthew with one breath, I drove my horse and caught up with the team. But soon, our troubles came again. The scouts reported that there were at least 4 infantry divisions coming towards us. This news almost made my head swell twice as much. In such a narrow valley, 4 infantry divisions came from the opposite side. What does this mean? That means my troops have no chance of passing through the gaps between their troops. . . I don’t think it’s possible to pass through, not even squeeze through. I think 4 divisions can directly squeeze this valley that is more than a thousand meters wide.

Damn, it's a blessing, not a curse. If it's a curse, there's no way to avoid it. Let's fight. With my archers, not only do they have higher mobility than them, but also have better long-range attack capabilities than them. How can they deal with me? No matter how many people come, they will die. As long as I carry forward Chairman Mao's guerrilla strategy, I will never be defeated by those reptiles.

Soon, a ragged army of tens of thousands of people appeared in my sight. With the light of dawn, I was surprised to find that this army was actually flying the flag of the Andler region army, which means that this army should be an army under the leadership of Bora and affiliated with the empire.

"Come here, send someone to ask the other commander to come over and tell them that we are the Flame Legion troops directly under the Empire, and ask them to come over and answer the questions..." I hesitated, and although I was full of doubts in my heart, I finally sent a smart subordinate to negotiate. Damn, how can they still maintain such a scale behind enemy lines? And although their equipment seems a bit poor, judging from their actions, they are too careless. Aren't they afraid of being destroyed by the East Continental Coalition

Soon after the soldiers passed by, my doubts grew. After seeing us, the other side did not prepare to engage us, but directly formed a combat attack formation. Doesn't this completely treat us as enemies

"Sir, the other commander is called Yura, Bora's cousin, but he said he doubted our identity, so you go and explain it to them first." Soon, the messenger came to report the other side's reply. But at this time, another division of light infantry from the other side rushed over, and there was a faint tendency to attack our troops from both sides.

Damn, this is trouble! What should I do now? Although I am very suspicious of the other party, I can't just attack him first before confirming his true identity, right

"Yula, you traitor, I didn't expect that you not only killed your cousin, but also shamelessly defected to the family's enemy, the Mokast Empire, and even attacked your ally, the Fire Phoenix Legion. Now, do you still want to deceive the Empire's Flame Legion?"

In the quiet valley, a man's loud roar suddenly came to mind, and his roar echoed throughout the valley. At the same time, the two light infantry divisions on the opposite side immediately began to move and began to charge towards us frantically. . . . . .

"Damn it, there must be a trap! Get the entire army moving. All soldiers should wait until the enemy approaches to within 300 meters before shooting. We must ensure the effectiveness of the attack." I didn't know who shouted this, and I quickly gave the combat order.

After being forced out of the Maze Forest by the East Continent Allied Forces, my army has gone through many consecutive battles and now has very few arrows left.

I originally thought that adding a horse to carry arrows would be enough to ensure that my troops could carry out several consecutive high-intensity battles, but I didn't expect that I would have to fight behind enemy lines without any external supplies.

And without a base, I couldn't use the large number of steel arrows I brought with me just in case because I couldn't equip them with shafts. If my troops fought one or two more wars after this one, my soldiers might have to fight with their teeth.

As the enemy approached, my troops began to move in a zigzag pattern. As each of them ran, turned around, drew their bows and shot arrows in one go, there was always one person in the enemy's army falling in a pool of blood.

"The enemy has no archers, so the troops directly under the General Staff must attack with magic scrolls!" Following my order, the only one hundred remaining soldiers with the ability to release magic scrolls rushed out of their ranks at a high speed and began to frantically plunder lives with magic scrolls.

Seeing an opportunity, I quickly asked Yunyue and Yaruo to join the attack. It was not until Yunyue took action that I truly understood the horror of the elven mage. Under my instruction, Yunyue also developed the habit of using a large number of magic scrolls. She used her left hand to release magic scrolls while using the magic staff in her right hand to release the magic of the elves. She chanted spells at high speed and launched powerful magic attacks. In addition, she replenished magic scrolls in the gaps between attacks, and she had a large number of magic crystals and magic power crystals on her body to replenish magic power. Yunyue was like a big hedgehog with lightning all over her body. Wherever she went, the light infantrymen almost fell to the ground in groups. Later, even the soldiers under my command did not dare to get too close to her.

Yaruo was much more elegant, but every time she attacked, it would cause a commotion among the middle and senior officers in the enemy army, because every time she attacked, it would undoubtedly take the life of an officer. With her repeated attacks, the enemy's command system immediately malfunctioned, some died, some hid, and even their soldiers were in chaos, and no officer was willing to come out to maintain order in the army.

At this time, the other two infantry divisions also arrived at the battlefield, but their appearance did not play any role. The only thing they could be used for was to exchange their heads for the merits of my soldiers. . . . . . (To be continued)
