Chapter 56: The Cursed Man

  For this battle, Rayford had made thorough plans. Familiar with the tactics of Sardis and having served in the Garrison City Corps, he was well aware of the strength of the Garrison City Corps. Although the Sardians were not good at tactics, their strong combat power could often make up for the lack of tactical skills most of the time.

  Even the Iron Hammer Legion, which was originally used to suppress Mo Yan, had a much smaller effect on Mo Yan's harassment tactics after adopting shift rest defense. Therefore, after the legion in the Council City entered the defensive line near Robito, Leiflor only had one chance of surprise attack, and tried his best to defeat the enemy army. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make any progress later, and there was only a way to harass and retreat back to Thunder Cliff.

  Nowadays, the Lobito forest can be said to be full of all kinds of traps. Because it cannot cause difficulties for Lobito's water intake, Refora did not order poisoning in the water source. The necessary preparations have been fully prepared, and various instruments and armor have also been sent over. Now we just have to wait for the legion that has already departed from the Council City to enter the defense line of the First Legion.

  "Recently, the warriors in the legion have been a bit unstable." Nadal said in front of the tent of Refola camp, looking at the suckling pig being roasted on the bonfire: "Many warriors do not want to fight against the legion of Parliament City. They don't think it's beneficial to help that demon."

  "This is my oath." Hearing Nadal's words, Refola, who was sitting on a blanket by the bonfire, took a sip of wine and said: "If anyone wants to leave, just leave, I won't blame you, after all, you didn't take an oath in your own name at first."

  "We didn't make the oath in our own name." Groke turned the piglet around to let the fire roast the meat more evenly, and shook his head at Refu's words: "But you made a bet with that demon to save us. If we can't survive this great fire, with your personality, you will definitely fight that demon to the death."

  And we were able to survive only because you broke down the wall at the last moment. How can you say that this has nothing to do with us? I don't care what others think, I will follow any decision of yours. And this time's Council City really went too far, the people of Sart have never done anything so shameless."

  "So, I'll inform the others of what the captain said." Nadal nodded and said: "Glock's words make sense. No matter what others think, I will follow the captain's decision. If others want to leave, let them leave. Lately, someone has been watching us, and when they make a wrong decision, that demon will know immediately."

  As for being stalked, Nadal, as an excellent warrior, can feel it. Rather than letting those unstable warriors stay in the army, it's better to let them make their own choices, otherwise, having bad thoughts on the battlefield will easily lead to a collapse of the entire defense line.

  "Leave this matter to you." Rayford nodded to Nadal and said, "As for the trap in the north, we need to check it again. If it can't block them, then we'll have no choice but to expend our strength defending that road in the north. They will bypass us from there and attack our rear. Our plan requires us to concentrate our forces at this location and maintain absolute impact force at the moment of opening battle."

  "The trap was set by myself." Gloeck said with a smile: "You can rest assured that even if I were to dismantle it myself, it would take at least a day. When the battle begins, I guarantee that no one will come from the north."

  "How much longer until the Second Legion arrives?" Refor nodded, then asked Nadal: "Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon."

  "Tomorrow at noon they will be able to reach the defensive line." Nadal said: "The plan has also been fully given to them, and they should be able to take charge of the blocking work. Once we cut off the Parliament City Garrison, they will immediately sandwich the enemy on the left and defeat it, then they will turn around our back, strengthen the defense line there, and drive the army of Parliament City back."

  "Hmm." Refor nodded, picked up a dagger and cut open the crispy skin of the roasted pig, looking at the tender meat inside and smiled: "Glock's roasting technique is still so good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Come on... everyone can eat now."

  ……………………

  At this time, the Parliament City Legion, which was still a day's journey from Lobito, set up camp in a valley. The warriors were all drunk and confident about this expedition, nearly two thousand Parliament City warriors, as well as five or six hundred Bugas warriors, formed an alliance that no city in Eran could withstand.

  They were well-supplied and had the best commanders in Parliament, believing that this expedition would be just a round trip, consuming most of their time. After arriving at the city established by the demons, everything could be resolved with just one charge, and even the catapults brought by the legion would not be used.

  The Allied commander was a man named Claud, who at the age of eight could tear apart giant bears with his bare hands, and whose wisdom made even the long-lived dragons feel ashamed. He could also do it in bed for an entire month. His roar was like thunder, and the muscles on his body were as hard as rocks, so that even sharp blades couldn't harm him in the slightest. He stood at a height of ten feet, and even giants looked like ants to him!

  "Xia Er, what you said is still human?" A skeptical party interrupted the boasting of a warrior named Xia Er: "If the commander of the Allied Forces is really as you said, I think we can all go to sleep with peace of mind. The commander alone can take down that demon city!"

  "Hmph! You think it's not possible?" Xial's only good eye stared at the questioning young man, his mouth with only a few good teeth spewing out a strong smell of alcohol: "This time we're going is to witness his bravery, otherwise even if he single-handedly destroyed the city, no one would believe it!"

  "He's already drunk, you'd better help him into the tent to rest." At this time, a somewhat short and brown-haired man, accompanied by several following soldiers, walked up to the bonfire and smiled, saying: "The commander of the coalition is so godly every day, but he's just an ordinary Sart warrior after all."

  "Who said that?" Charles, who was being dragged towards the tent by several people, waved his wine glass and shouted stubbornly: "I owe my life to him, he saved me from death. That demon had stabbed out my left eye at the time, if it wasn't for him, I would have died in that canyon just like everyone else."

  "Heh heh." A faint smile appeared on the man's lips as he heard Char's words. He looked at Char, who had finally been dragged into the tent, and turned to the others, saying: "You all continue drinking, but be careful not to overdo it. We'll set out at dawn tomorrow. By evening, we'll be approaching Lobito, and scouts have reported that those demons are stationed nearby."

  "Why would Lobito allow monsters to occupy the place?" Hearing the man's words, the warriors asked in puzzlement: "Aren't they putting the entire Eran in danger? When did Lobito become so timid as to fear a legion of monsters? That place has produced many powerful warriors."

  The man heard the warrior's words and didn't give any explanation, but shook his head and walked towards others. After all, some things can't be explained clearly in a few words, and he didn't want to dampen the warriors' enthusiasm, so let them think they were doing justice.

  "Who is that guy?" After the man left, the warrior who asked the question turned to his companion and asked: "Why didn't he answer my question?"

  "He's the one Charle boasted about, this time's Allied Forces Commander Claude." A well-informed soldier took a bite of his roasted sweet potato and said: "Although Charle exaggerated a bit, he is indeed famous in the Council City Garrison. It's normal that you people from Bugas haven't heard much about him, after all, he usually doesn't leave the Council City."

  "It seems that the Speaker has really gone to great lengths this time." The warrior sat back in his seat and said, "Even someone as reclusive as him was invited. I wonder if he's really good at fighting? He doesn't look very tall, and he doesn't seem to have much muscle either."

  "Who knows." The well-informed warrior shrugged and said, "Those who have seen him in action, except for the recently drunken Char, are almost all dead. Every time he appears, there are tough demons to deal with, which is also why he usually doesn't go out, as if it's a kind of curse."

  "What about this time..." The warrior asked with some concern after hearing the news from the messenger.

  "Don't listen to him scaring you." The warrior leaning against the wine barrel said with a smile: "Even the priests of the Temple of War God say that there is no sign of curse on his body. He just has some bad luck, but his command ability is recognized by the Council City Garrison, and this time he came just to make the Speaker feel at ease."

  "Oh, I see." Some tense warriors relaxed.
