"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Seeing that the victory that was about to be won flew away again, Grand Duke Aragon roared again, but his anger this time burned even stronger than before...

Several times his troops were repeatedly defeated by the enemy. This was undoubtedly a huge insult to his military capabilities. He would never allow such a thing to happen for the third time in his life, so he planned to take a gamble!

"Mr. Slodan, this is not a solution. The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for our army. I will lead the remaining guards to lack support later. At the same time, I hope your mage volunteer group can fully support the front line."

While asking him to take the helmet from the guards, Aragon calmly said something to Slodan that he was very uneasy.

"Duke, calm down."

When Slogan heard what he said, Slogan felt bad because what he feared the most was still happening. Once the commander lost his mind, the war situation was likely to have an unexpected accident, and the other party had to transfer the only troops on the high ground. In Slogan's opinion, this was no different from suicide.

The key to this victory or defeat is no longer this high ground. As long as the coalition forces still control this place, no matter how tenacious the demons are, they will only repel the coalition's attack and will not pose any fatal threat to the coalition forces.

But once you lose the high ground, it will be different...

"Mr. Slodan, I am very calm. Now is the most critical moment in the battle. As a commander, I have the obligation to go to the front line."

"But Grand Duke, what should we do if the defense of the highlands are done?"

"Didn't the Gray Cult just retreat? There are two other legions, just let them keep here."

"This... the Gray Clan is exhausted, and those legions have also suffered heavy losses. Is it not safe to let them guard the high ground?"

"What's insecurity? Mr. Slodan, you're over-concerned."

The more he talked, the more impatient Aragon seemed.

"What if the demon launches a raid?"

"The devil has no remaining troops, the opponent has already ended his limits."

"What if there is?"

Finally, the last bit of kindness on Aragon's face disappeared. He glanced at Slodan coldly, and then said contemptuously:

"Then destroy them and cut off their last little hope!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the tent, but just halfway through, he suddenly turned around and said as if nothing had happened:

"If Mr. Slodan feels that the front line is too dangerous, he can also take your volunteer group to guard the high ground in case of a demon's 'raid'."

After saying that, he shook his cloak and walked forward with great strides.

"Duke! This is not your honor and disgrace alone! This battle is related to the entire Yashan!"

But before he could walk out of the camp, Slodan flashed in front of him and persuaded him anxiously.

"I have been thinking about it for a long time since the battle. Ward is definitely not that stupid. He knows that the Southern Front is so weak, but he only deploys a little force! He must be planning something! He is waiting! Wait until we make a mistake, wait for us to enter his trap ourselves! Wait... Grand Duke, I beg you, wait a little longer, the troops on the Southern Front are definitely enough, and we do not lack time."

"Wait? No! The devil will likely slip away!"

"The devil cannot escape, and it is impossible."

"You said that the demon has a trap, so please give me a detailed introduction to the demon's conspiracy and what is the devil's trap? Temptation of the enemy deeper? Convey the circle?"

"this……"

For a moment, Slodan was speechless. He really didn't know what Ward was planning, because he couldn't find any extra troops on the other side, so he could only remind himself to be cautious.

"Mr. Slodan, I have lived in the Silver Federation for a while, so I really appreciate your prudence, because it is a necessary element to be a qualified mage, but... as a commander, I have to deny your prudence, because it will only allow the advantage of the battle situation to slip away from your palms."

It seemed too lazy to argue with Slo, but Aragon changed his tone to teach a lesson, as if he was facing a disobedient student.

"Advantages, advantages... Where do we have an advantage!? The northern line is stalemate, but the southern line's troops are several times more powerful, but they have become a tug-of-war! Where is our advantage?"

"Mr. Slodan!"

Seeing Aragon's blue face, Slodan finally realized that he had said the least thing he shouldn't say...

"Are you questioning my command ability?"

"No, grandpa, I..."

"Enough! Since the Silver Federation has doubts about my command ability, I will no longer force all the mages to support me."

Without giving Slodan a chance to continue speaking, Aragon left in anger.

"Slodan, the great prince is now angry. I'm afraid he might make an impulsive decision. You'd better go with me."

Just when Slo stood in a tent blankly and didn't know what to do, Naili, who looked pale and weak, walked in.

"I heard all the arguments you just now. Aragon is indeed a bit stubborn, but he is still qualified as a commander..."

Sitting heavily on the chair, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Naili needed time to recover now. Although the battle just now was not as intense as Yue Yulou's, it was also exhausting. After all, single fights and group fights are two different concepts.

"...Didn't you say it before? No matter what the devil has conspiracy, as long as the southern line breaks through, we will definitely win."

"Breakthrough? Can we do it?"

"Ah, although I am very reluctant, I must admit that the demons guarding the southern line are indeed very tenacious... But! We still have a chance."

"But what if I leave too, what should I do?"

"Isn't I still there? After fighting for so long, the demons cannot have a reserve team. I guess the two legions I just supported are already the last bargaining chips in Ward's hands."

"but……"

Seeing that Slodan was still hesitating, Naili stood up with difficulty, then walked to him, pressed his shoulders heavily with both hands, stared at the other person's eyes, and whispered:

"Slodan, I'm mainly afraid of something. If that grand duke is impulsive, there will be some accident... You know, the main force of this legion is from the Duke of Falcon. Once their grand duke is surprised again, then the command system will be in great chaos! Moreover, the southern line has concentrated most of our army's elite, so there must be no accidents. Otherwise, if the demons use some small tricks, we will be defeated, so you must follow us! I believe that with you, you can definitely break through the southern line!"

"Yeah……"

After a moment, the last bit of hesitation on Slodan's face disappeared. He smiled slightly and then helped the other party to the chair.

"Then, Highlands please you."

"Absolutely OK! Don't worry."

Nodded, Slodan quickly turned around and left the tent, leaving Naili alone sitting quietly, staring at the map and wondering what he was thinking...

On the other end of the battlefield, Ward also waited for the opportunity he had been waiting for.

"Report to the Lord! The enemy has begun to evacuate from the high ground!"

Since the demons were monitoring the small dome heights almost all the time, every move of the coalition forces was under the control of the demons. Just as Aragon and Slodan led their troops out of the high ground, Ward received information.

"Very good, finally..."

The meat bun-like face squeezed out an ugly weird smile, Ward suddenly raised his right arm and shouted loudly:

"Order! Kemira Legion, Amut Legion, Atlas Legion! Prepare for action according to the scheduled plan!"

Soon, the northern line of the Goldbach River, the ever-silent depression began to surge in large areas of pungent yellow smoke, and through it, you could also see the flames soaring into the sky.

The moment of the decisive battle is coming...
