De Enke\'s coalition is a traditional coalition, led by local lords, with relatively independent food, grass, weapons and camps. This management method can avoid friction between lords, but it will also lead to management omissions. A camp was secretly attacked last night, and de Enke was unaware of it.

He knew that the demon believers had recruited an excellent general from the south.

De Enke didn\'t take him to heart. How much role can a general play in such a disparity of strength?

But what he didn\'t expect was that the general not only had excellent command ability and combat experience, but also had excellent learning ability.

Brayton perfectly copied Roma\'s empty city plan. In the southwest, he was the victim of this tactic. In the north, he became the practitioner of this tactic.

But de enko really couldn\'t understand how the enemy left broom town? Before the siege, the sentinel still saw leond\'s army in the town.

It\'s useless to think too much. Since some troops have been attacked secretly, it proves that the enemy is still nearby. There are several generals in the coalition who are good at tracking. De enko gave them an order to find the whereabouts of the enemy before dark.

Broom Town, as its name implies, is shaped like a broom. The Lord who was attacked last night came from the tip of the broom. Several generals concentrated on the battlefield to search for clues left by the enemy.

Towards dusk, they collected a lot of information. It seems that they have some ideas, but they can\'t figure it out.

At night, the Archduke was scolding these generals. He didn\'t want another Lord to be attacked.

His camp is located at the junction of broomstick and broom head. It is also more than 1000 people, almost completely destroyed.

De Enke was shocked and lost more than 2000 soldiers in two nights. Compared with 50000 troops, the loss is not big, but the bad thing is that there is no enemy body left on the battlefield.

No trace of the enemy was found and no effective resistance was made. This was the worst situation. The other party took advantage of the believer\'s single soldier advantage and won a crushing victory in a small-scale battle.

De Enke was calm, but all the Lords fell into fear. The enemy was like a ghost. It was hard to say which one would haunt tonight.

They broke out a dispute at the military meeting. The focus of the dispute was whether to continue to fight in broom town.

One side believes that the terrain here is not conducive to the display of the army, and a small town is not worth wasting time. It should directly attack the cities occupied by the enemy.

The other side believes that broom town is open and suitable for the encirclement of the army. If the enemy cannot be defeated in the wilderness, the siege will only become more difficult.

De Enke decided to continue fighting here. He vaguely saw nals\'s combat habits in the enemy. He didn\'t want to make the mistake of going alone in the temptation of the enemy.

If only NARS were here, but the fool is still wandering around the drawing city.

De enko ordered the lords to shorten the distance between the camps and send more night patrols to strengthen the alert.

At the same time, he also increased the strength of the search team. This time, he did not rush for success. He asked the generals to be patient and not to miss any details.

All the responses were correct, and the camp was not attacked for the next two days.

The generals in charge of the search gathered more clues. It seemed that they were about to find the enemy.

But on the evening of the third day, another camp was attacked, and more than 300 soldiers were lost.

The camp is located above the broom head, surrounded by the care of other camps, which should be very safe.

But the enemy suddenly appeared near the camp, and the other camps were completely unaware.

Fortunately, the Lord of the camp was fully prepared. Less than half of the soldiers were lost in this battle. The enemy retreated before other camps came to support.

According to the Lord\'s description, they killed many enemy troops. De enko personally went to the camp to check, but only saw the bodies of his own people.

"Where are the enemy troops you killed? Where are their bodies?"

"Their bodies... Should be taken away by the enemy." the Lord gave an irrelevant explanation. The battle between the two sides was racing against time. In this case, how could the enemy have the chance to take away the bodies?

De enko asked several surrounding camps. They didn\'t see where the enemy came from or where the enemy went. The battle ended too soon and they didn\'t have time to make any response.

De enko forcibly suppressed his anger. He ordered the Lord concerned to bury the soldiers\' bodies and continue to shrink the layout of the camp.

Ten days later, de enko decided to move to pidun city. In the past ten days, he has lost more than 6000 people.

This is not a small number. It has exceeded 10% of the total army. If we continue to entangle with the enemy here, it will shake not only the morale, but also the whole alliance.

Leather shield city is a city occupied by lyonde. It is famous for its rich leather shield. The best leather shield is comparable to iron shield, but its weight is less than one-third of iron shield.

According to de enko\'s conjecture, leond will not use more than 2000 soldiers to defend the city. For a small city dominated by handicrafts, such as pidun City, the city wall is not high and there is no moat. Three days is enough to break through.

It may not be difficult to break through pidun City, but who could have thought that the march was the beginning of the nightmare.

It is not easy to allocate more than 40000 troops. If any army slackens a little, the enemy will appear on time.

During the three-day March, the enemy troops broke up in pieces and damaged nearly 2000 people. This time, a general finally found the trace of demon believers.

"They lurked in Yingzui town. The epidemic broke out more than ten years ago, all the people died, the Lord fled, and the whole town was abandoned. We have always ignored it."

"It\'s not too late to find it now!" de Enke said gritting his teeth. "Allocate 10000 troops to level the town. No enemy is allowed to stay!"

A general suggested, "Sir, you\'d better not fight there. That town is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

De Enke hesitated for a moment and ordered, "send five thousand more people. I want to see the victory. I want to see the head of the enemy!"

The 15000 troops set out that day, but before they saw the shadow of Yingzui Town, they were hit the hardest since the war.

They were ambushed by divine punishers on the way. Bucken personally led 8000 divine punishers to defeat 15000 troops, of which more than 2000 were killed, more than 10000 were captured, and less than 2000 ran back to the camp.

The victorious bucken led the soldiers to leave the battlefield quickly. Some young punishers had the habit of cremating the enemy. Usually bucken ignored it, but this time he stopped them.

"Leave the body here. They\'re still useful."

An officer asked, "do you want to keep these prisoners?"

"Of course," laughs bucken. "They\'re of great use."

Deenko sat in the camp with unspeakable disappointment in his eyes.

The number of prisoners far exceeded the number of casualties, which was not only a disastrous defeat, but also a defeat full of shame.

It\'s still five days away from pidun city. What should I do next?

Continue to March and endure the enemy\'s attack?

Stay here and continue to fight the enemy?

The Lords broke out a fierce dispute again. The focus of their dispute was not on these two options. The focus of their dispute was whether to continue fighting or go back to their homes. When the loss reaches a certain level, the covenant between the Lords is so fragile.

Seeing the dispute getting more and more intense, Yanshi Kalian suddenly stood up and put forward the only constructive proposal.

"Archduke, we need support."

The Lords laughed at the speech. Tens of thousands of troops gathered here, but what support did they say?

Almost all the soldiers in the north are here, but where do they go for support?

Careen reminded the Archduke, "you have forgotten someone."

De Enke knew what he meant: "are you talking about the general from the king\'s capital? I\'m afraid I\'m not qualified to dispatch him."

Karaian said, "he is also the Lord of the north. He has the obligation to fight for the north. He is eager to fight for the north. Please give him a chance."
