Chapter 298 Fight to the death with the Rollins!
July 24, 290 AD in the Britannia Empire.
20:36 pm.
Central Route Army Camp.
Four days have passed since the Battle of Sola ended and Albert issued a retreat suggestion to Allen and Su Cheng.
As Albert expected, Barr had no intention of letting him go just like that.
After the Battle of Sola, Barr allowed his army to undergo a short period of repair before immediately leading the entire army to pursue Albert.
It is really ironic. A few days ago, it was Albert who led the army to hunt down Barr with high spirits. But a few days later, the positions of the two were reversed, and it became Barr who led the army to hunt down Albert.
The speed of this change caught everyone, including Barr, off guard.
Therefore, during these four days, Albert led the remnants of the Central Army to flee north to escape Barr's pursuit.
While escaping from Barr's pursuit, Albert was also quietly waiting for a reply from Allen and Su Cheng.
Allen's reply came quickly.
However, the content of Allen's reply surprised Albert.
In Allen's reply to Albert, he first severely refuted Albert's suggestion to "retreat and abandon the 'Summer Wind' offensive".
Later, he informed Albert in detail of his newly drafted combat plan, that is, the West Route Army and the East Route Army would serve as the main attack and the auxiliary attack respectively, and continue the "Xia Feng" offensive.
At the end of the letter, Allen told Albert: If Su Cheng disagrees with his new battle plan and decides to retreat, without Su Cheng's East Route Army, his West Route Army alone can't do anything, then
He will also lead the Western Route Army to retreat obediently.
However, if Su Cheng agrees with his battle plan and decides to join forces with him to continue the "Xia Feng" offensive, then he will work together with Su Cheng to continue the "Xia Feng" offensive! And fight a hearty big battle.
Win back.
Allen also specifically mentioned that if Su Cheng decided to continue the war, he hoped that Albert could lead the remnants of the Central Route Army to join his West Route Army. The two armies would work together to complete the "main attack" mission!
The commanders of the 3rd Army are equal in this "Xia Feng" offensive, and no one has a higher status than the other.
As the three top leaders and commanders of the "Xia Feng" offensive, Albert, Su Cheng, and Allen all have great independent decision-making power.
If Su Cheng and Allen decided to continue fighting, then no matter how reluctant Albert was, he would have no choice but to follow them and continue fighting.
Therefore, after receiving this letter from Allen, Albert and others began to wait for the letter from the Eastern Route Army and Su Cheng's choice!
Whether or not the "Xia Feng" offensive continues now depends entirely on Su Cheng's choice. Whether Su Cheng chooses to listen to Allen or Albert.
It is now the evening of July 24th. Judging by the time, Su Cheng's reply should have been sent at this time.
Therefore, now the camp of the commander of the Central Army is already crowded with knights of all levels from the Central Army, and everyone is sitting around a long table.
Everyone was waiting anxiously, waiting for the reply from the East Route Army, and waiting for Su Cheng's choice.
Everyone in the camp said nothing, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
Alyssa, who fell into a coma due to exhaustion after the Battle of Sola, woke up the day after the battle.
With the past few days of recuperation, Alyssa has slowly recovered. Apart from being unable to go to the battlefield again in the short term, all aspects of her body are in good condition.
Alyssa was now sitting beside Albert, like everyone else in the tent, silently waiting for the messenger from the Eastern Route Army.
"Su Cheng..."
Alyssa was stroking her left hand, which was covered with a thick layer of bandages, while murmuring in a voice that only she could hear.
"What would you choose..."
Time passes bit by bit.
Everyone in the camp was still waiting anxiously.
at this time
"Urgent report! Urgent report from the Eastern Route Army!!"
Finally, the voice that all the knights in the tent wanted to hear most came from outside the tent!
Everyone in the tent, including Albert and Alyssa, immediately raised their heads and cast their gaze towards the door of the tent.
Everyone's eyes showed anxiety, expectation and other emotions.
Whether the "Summer Wind" offensive, the largest battle in the world this year, will be continued or abandoned will be decided now at this moment!
"Let him in!" Albert shouted outside.
Although Albert tried his best to stabilize his business, he still could not hide the uneasiness in his heart at the moment.
After receiving Albert's permission to enter the account, the curtain of the camp was immediately lifted.
A weather-worn soldier who looked like a messenger quickly walked into the camp.
Just when the messenger was about to salute, Albert immediately interrupted him and told him not to salute, and asked him to quickly present Su Cheng's message.
After receiving Albert's order, the messenger was unambiguous and immediately took out a sealed roll of parchment from his arms and handed it to Albert respectfully with both hands.
After Albert eagerly took it, he unfolded the parchment in his hand as quickly as possible, and then immediately started reading ten lines at a time.
The other knights, including Alyssa, couldn't help but hold their breath and focus, looking at Albert who was looking at the roll of parchment from Su Cheng in his hand without blinking.
…
at the same time.
West Route Army Camp.
Not only Albert and others from the Central Route Army were waiting for letters from the East Route Army, but Allen and others from the West Route Army were also anxiously waiting for the messenger from the East Route Army.
What is a very coincidental thing is that just after the Central Route Army ushered in the messengers from the army, almost at the same time, the messengers from the East Route Army also arrived at the camp of the West Route Army!
"Coach Allen!" The adjutant's delighted voice came from outside the camp, "It's the messenger from the East Route Army! The messenger from the East Route Army is here!! With a reply from Commander Su Cheng!!!"
After hearing these words, Allen, who was pacing in the camp just now, immediately stopped, and then shouted outside in an anxious and expectant tone:
"Send me Su Cheng's letter!!"
"yes!"
The curtain of the camp was opened, and the adjutant came in holding a sealed roll of parchment, and then handed it to Allen.
After Allen took the roll of sheepskin from the adjutant's hand, he immediately opened the package and unfolded it.
"Coach Allen." the adjutant asked cautiously, "How is it? What is Coach Su Cheng's reply?"
Allen did not immediately answer the adjutant's question.
Instead, his eyes were fixed on the parchment in his hand, staring in silence.
Just when the impatient adjutant wanted to ask another question, Allen suddenly burst into a series of laughter:
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"
"This Su Cheng, I didn't expect to be so heroic! He only replied to me with one sentence! Although I am a little unhappy with him, I have to say that this guy still has some ability and courage! I have a good impression of him!"
After saying that, Allen threw the parchment in his hand to the adjutant.
After the adjutant took it, he immediately opened it and started reading.
I finished reading it quickly because it only contains one sentence.
"Coach...this..."
The adjutant put down the parchment in his hand, his face full of astonishment, shock, and excitement.
"Adjutant!" Allen shouted loudly.
"Yes!" the adjutant immediately stood up straight and replied loudly.
"Calling all the knights! I want to convene an emergency meeting!" Allen said in a confident tone that could not be refuted, "Spend one day to prepare tomorrow! On the morning of July 26, the day after tomorrow, use one morning to defeat the southern Denis.
and Leo’s 70,000-strong army! Then join forces with Su Cheng at the foot of Lixi City! Attack Baal with Su Cheng!!”
"yes!"
…
Central Route Army Camp.
Albert, who had been looking at the parchment in his hand for a long time, still hasn't taken his eyes away from the parchment in his hand.
Just when all the knights in the tent were wondering whether Su Cheng had written a novel, Albert suddenly let out a series of low laughter.
Then a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Maybe I'm really old. In terms of courage, I can't compare to a junior."
After saying this in a bitter tone, Albert turned the parchment in his hand so that everyone in the tent could see it.
I saw only one sentence written on this parchment:
[We will fight to the death with Allen and the Rollins, and we will not retreat until we win]
It was obviously just a simple sentence, but everyone could feel Su Cheng's determination and courage from these words.
"Since both the West Route Army and the East Route Army are so courageous, we must continue the 'Xia Feng' offensive and fight to the death with the Luolin people." Albert put down the parchment in his hand as he spoke, "Then we
The Central Army cannot continue to retreat so cowardly."
After saying this, Albert, who had been looking a little haggard these past few days, regained his energy.
"Order the entire army to stop retreating! Turn around! Head to the western battlefield! Join forces with the Western Route Army! Since we can no longer defeat Baal by ourselves, we will join forces with the Western Route Army to defeat Baal! One day
The disgrace of the Battle of Snowsola!"
