The moment he heard the news, Casto was stunned.

"How is it possible? Baronet Plante's territory is at least two days away from here. How can it be so fast?"

The next moment Casto reacted.

"Damn Ryan, he dispersed his army to attack Baronet Plante."

Baronet Karam was a little frightened, but fortunately Ryan's army appeared in the direction of him, otherwise he might have been captured.

"What should we do now? Mr. Casto."

"How about we also send part of the army to the surrounding noble territories."

One person said that he was from the Miles Family and was ordered by Rag to follow the army as his deputy.

"No, we don't know where Ryan's army will appear. Are they just going to stay?"

Casto shook his head.

"We know that if Ryan is defeated, then even if his army is elsewhere, the war will be a failure."

"Don't worry about his army, we just need to capture Baron Ryan."

"I will definitely win this war."

Early the next morning, Casto's army began to advance. He arranged to wait in front of the army to survey where Ryan's army was, and soon there was a scout report.

Ryan's army was walking very slowly. When he heard the news, Casto ordered the army to speed up. Finally, Ryan's army was about to enter the canyon and caught the tail of the army.

"The terrain of the canyon is narrow. If Ryan's army dares to escape, most of the soldiers will not be able to escape."

Casto laughed. He still remembered that he used this method to kill most of Baron Barnes's soldiers outside Flower of Northwind Castle.

"If we start a war on the same spot, Ryan will definitely not be our opponent."

As he said, Ryan did not hastily command the army to enter the canyon, otherwise most of the soldiers behind would be overtaken and massacred without any intention of fighting.

He changed the direction of the army and seemed to be preparing to fight Casto to the death.

"Let the army attack slowly, don't fall into Ryan's trap."

Casto ordered the army to advance steadily, but at this time, Ryan's army was charging towards this side like they had no way to retreat.

Seeing the crazy and determined expressions of those soldiers, Casto's expression sank.

It is said that Baron Ryan can easily inspire a soldier's heart, just like Demons's words, and now he can feel it.

Even when those soldiers faced their obviously stronger self, they still fought without fear of death.

"Is this because you know you have no way out, so you have no choice but to fight?"

Such soldiers have more powerful combat effectiveness, but Casto is not worried at all.

One's own army will always be better than more.

"Kill!!!"

There were constant cries of killing on the battlefield. At the beginning, Casto's army was also suppressed. These well-trained troops were frightened in the face of the desperate enemies. Fortunately, after Casto asked the soldiers supervising the battle to kill some of the deserters, the remaining soldiers finally stopped retreating.

The army advanced. Under physical pressure, Ryan's army began to collapse.

Casto was riding on a war horse, looking high into the distance. He saw a commotion behind Ryan's army, and the cavalry were actually retreating towards the valley.

"Hahahaha, Baron Ryan escaped!"

"Your lord has already fled for his life, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Casto was roaring. On the battlefield, the soldiers couldn't help but turn around and saw Ryan rushing into the canyon. Immediately, their morale collapsed completely.

At this time, many voices sounded from behind the army.

"We can't retreat! We have to buy time for the lord. As long as the lord brings back his other army, we will win!"

There were almost hundreds of people shouting. Their voices made these ignorant slaves unable to distinguish. However, their actions without completely scattering stopped the Casto army.

All I can say is that those days of training are still effective.

Casto also heard those words, and he was a little anxious, because he knew very well that Ryan had indeed dispersed his army. Even if there were no soldiers here, he still had an army, and Ryan's ability to pull out a group of soldiers in a short time made him worried about what would happen later.

The most important thing is that he saw that there were not many knights on this battlefield, not even Apprentice Knight.

Ryan The true power of the army has not been abandoned.

"Attack! The knight army is on top of me. I can't let Ryan escape!"

Casto The three hundred cavalrymen around him were finally dispatched. With their strength and speed, they cut through the battlefield and rushed into the canyon in less than a minute.

"Sir, there won't be an ambush, right?"

Gray next to Casto asked.

"That's why we let the knights go first to explore the road. Even if there is an ambush, our knights cannot be wiped out in an instant."

Casto's army began to advance, and he was indeed worried about an ambush, but as he advanced, he did not feel any sneak attacks. Even others had passed through the canyon and saw Ryan, who had been surrounded by his own cavalry, and did not suffer an ambush.

Feeling relieved, Casto looked at Ryan and laughed:

"Ryan, surrender!"

"My father will definitely appreciate your military talent. You will not lose everything. On the contrary, you will gain a lot of wealth and power."

Ryan was riding on a war horse, with the surrounding Knight Retainers firmly protecting him. He looked at Casto who was laughing and was speechless.

"Casto, do you remember what you just heard?"

Casto was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Boom!!!

Casto Turned around suddenly and looked into the canyon. At this moment, countless boulders and rolling logs fell from the top of the canyon. Suddenly, screams could be heard in the canyon.

The boulders and rolling logs fell in the center of the canyon, causing not much damage, but blocking the canyon firmly, allowing Casto's subsequent soldiers to reach this side smoothly.

At the same time, on the other side of the canyon, on the edge of the previous battlefield, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared.

Harrington rushed out of Mountain Forest with seven to eight hundred soldiers, but no one knew the specific number of soldiers behind him. It only felt like thousands because the dust and smoke in Mountain Forest were turbid.

"Kill!"

"Your noble lords are dead. Kill them. We have won this war!"

Harrington and dozens of people around him were shouting. Their voices and the information in their mouths made the soldiers confused. At the same time, on the battlefield, there were also voices shouting among the soldiers who originally belonged to Ryan.

"The Lord did not lie to us. They really brought reinforcements. We won!"

The painted pie can make these soldiers believe and stimulate their potential for a short time, but as time passes, they will eventually react. Therefore, some people said before that Ryan escaped to bring back another army. They believed it at the beginning, but after the battle passed little by little, they would understand that they had actually been abandoned.

However, if the painted pie really appears, it is not called a pie, especially the moment when the pie becomes a reality, the excitement will be a hundred times greater than before.

Even at this moment, these soldiers still feel guilty in their hearts.

It turned out that the lord really went to bring back reinforcements instead of escaping for his life. They felt guilty for their distrust, suspicion and cowardice. Then when they looked at the enemies around them at this moment, they who had already knelt on the ground and surrendered suddenly killed the enemies.

Many people may have experienced this, and Ryan's method is also subtle in this.

In his opinion, the excitement brought by a salary increase never comes from the moment when he is informed, but the day when he actually gets more.

So on this battlefield, the soldiers composed of these slaves actually broke out with unprecedented powerful fighting power.
