Noble Husband At the Door

"Humph, Samuel has all kinds of tricks up his sleeve. Just today, he lured the tiger away from the mountain. How difficult is it to steal a dragon and turn into a

phoenix?"

Hearing the elder's words, the spy replied without waiting for the subordinate to speak, "It's said that the enemy only revealed the truth to the defenders when the city defenses were about to be breached. The enemy forces didn't take action head-on, but they used this advantage of being too far away to secretly replace the real person with the scarecrow."

"As for their people, they took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the defensive perimeters of the two armies and launch an attack."

"Because it happened so suddenly, our side was already in a state of chaos. Especially after we found out that the other side was the main force attacking, we were completely at a loss. It was because..."

The elder was so angry that he laughed. "Did you hear that?"

The group of people remained silent, but their hearts were already in turmoil.

It turned out that someone had used this trick to lure their people away from the city and sneak into the city. It could be said that they were advancing step by step, and everything was shocking.

Who would have thought that even though the other party seemed determined to break out of the encirclement, they were actually playing these little tricks behind their backs?

"It's ridiculous to think about it. We agreed to set up defenses everywhere flawlessly, but what happened in the end? The city defense we got didn't even last for a day before it was obediently sent back to the enemy's hands."

The elder seemed to be criticizing them, yet also seemed to be mocking himself.

The group of subordinates and trusted subordinates all lowered their heads, and no one dared to say a word.

Facts spoke louder than words. If Samuel won, he won. If they lost their city defense, they lost it.

"Guards!"

"Yes."

"Order the troops of Nightsky City to immediately give up the last city defense and return to the main force."

"But Elder... It's not easy for us..."

Although there was only one city defense left and it was somewhat dangerous, after all, it was not easy to reach into the foot of Nightsky City. It was good for them to send troops to attack Samuel at any time, which was almost the most important strategic point.

Right now, that place at least had a joint army, so it was naturally impossible for them to lose. However, retreating like this, almost handing over the things to the enemy, no matter how one looked at it, they were a bit unwilling.

"There is not much meaning in leaving troops on one side. It is equivalent to becoming a bad tooth in the mouth of a tiger. Do you think that Samuel will not pull it out? Withdraw as soon as possible and redeem some losses. That is the only solution." The Elder sighed when his voice sounded.

Did he want to retreat?

Obviously not!

But was there any other way?

The fact was right in front of him. It was useless to say anything more.

Instead of being beaten, it was better to withdraw now.

"Yes."

"As for the main force, from today onwards, retreat for five kilometers."

"What? Retreat for five kilometers?"

"Elder, how could this be?"

"Yes, our army has not been defeated yet. How can we retreat?"

If the former decision to withdraw from Nightsky City was somewhat unreconciled,

it was understandable. However, the decision of the direct army behind to

withdraw was simply incomprehensible and unacceptable.noveldrama

Although the army was defeated, in fact, there was not much loss at all.

90% of the troops' strength was still there. If they wanted to fight, they could fight at any time. How could they retreat?

The elder was displeased to see everyone panicking. "What's wrong? Can't you hear my orders? Are you deaf?"

The group of people did not dare to disobey the elder and could only do as they were told.

"We have to start all over again. As I said, we can't walk into Samuel's rhythm when we fight with him. If we continue to fight, we will definitely be eaten up little by little, and in the end, not even a bone will be left."

"Retreat doesn't mean that the battle is over. It should be said that the first contest is put on hold for the time being. What we have to do is to attack in the second phase."

The subordinates and trusted aides all nodded.

"The ant people must be dealt with after the retreat. Their threat is not very strong, but they are always bothering us like this. Since the bones of the cavalry are difficult to chew, let's put them down and eat the ants first."

"At the same time, we should teach those who want to help Samuel a lesson and see what price they have to pay."

"Pass down my order. All troops must retreat five miles away before dawn. Tomorrow, prepare for battle!"

"Yes."

As soon as the subordinates understood a little, they were a little confused by tomorrow's preparation instead of fighting.

Didn't the elder say that the retreat was to reorganize a new attack? Why didn't they stop fighting tomorrow!

The elder slowly raised his hand, and one of his trusted aides hurried over. Then, he whispered a few words into the ear of his trusted aide.

After hearing this, the man's confused face suddenly lit up with joy. "Elder, you're so wise..."
