The False Arrival Time

Dirac soon arrived at Turas's tent.

"My lord, what brings you here?"

Dirac asked directly.

Turas didn't care about this. That's just Dirac's personality. Since the defeat at the end of last year, Turas's Sixth Legion has suffered heavy losses, but it has also discovered many talents, and Dirac is the most outstanding one.

Relying on his cooperation with Pelei and the support of Count Sibeth, Turas directly formed a Cavalry Regiment, and Dirac was appointed as its Cavalry Regiment.

This regiment consisted of six Cavalry battalions, with more than 3,000 Auxiliary Troops and over 4,000 horses.

However, since there are not many good horses in the western region, many Cavalry ride ordinary packhorses, which are okay against the infantry of ordinary nobles, but they are no match for the tall horses of the Northern Frontier nobles and the elite infantry of the duchy.

But Turas did not give up easily. While imprisoned, he kept reading battle reports from various places, including Victor's battles in the Eastern Region.

He was very interested in Victor and even went so far as to find the battle report that Count Colt had sent to the Duchy when Victor was promoted to Viscount.

He thought Victor's mounted infantry was a brilliant design, although it couldn't compare to real Cavalry, but it would be quite effective if used in the right place.

Therefore, this Cavalry unit consisted of three battalions of mounted infantry, one horse per person, and the other three battalions of Cavalry, one horse per person.

When reorganizing this regiment, he and Dirac studied how to use the Cavalry Regiment, combining the battle reports left by Victor within the duchy.

He had summarized the role of this Cavalry Regiment in carrying out rapid maneuvers, and this time he intended to see the strength of the regiment.

"Dirac, this is Karanga, the Acting Legion Commander of the Second Legion. Your mission is to cooperate with him to take the city gate of Carn City. All you need to do is guard the city gate and wait for my arrival. How can you complete this mission?"

Dirac gave a crisp salute. "Legion Commander, I will not fail in my mission."

Turas nodded. "Alright, Karanga, you and Dirac should return to Carn City together. Just follow our plan."

I will speed up the march and arrive in Carn City before sunset tomorrow. I believe you and Zapar can do it. Trust me, and you will begin a new chapter in your life.

In this era of great strife, how can we, as martial artists, not strive to be the first to act!

Karanga was spurred on by Turas's words and his face lit up with pride. "Legion Commander Turas, I will do my utmost to help you. Thank you for your trust. If things go well, I will follow your lead without question."

Turas stood beside the marching column, watching the dust settle on the horizon. Dirac had just led his Cavalry Regiment away with Karanga.

Sailik moved closer to Turas and said with resentment, "My lord, how can a mere Personal Guard be appointed as Legion Deputy Commander!"

Turas glanced at Sailik: "What, are you jealous? Or are you resentful that I didn't promote you?"

Sailik quickly shook his head. "Nothing of the sort!"

However, under Turas's gaze, Sailik finally stammered, "Well, sir, I am indeed a little jealous. He is the Personal Guard of the Personal Guard, and so am I. How come he was able to become the Legion Deputy Commander this time?"

"Acting deputy Legion Deputy Commander, at most his actual position is Regimental Commander. He can only be promoted with the consent of the duchy. It's not that easy!"

"That's Legion Deputy Commander!"

Turas scratched his head and then shook his head. Sailik was good in every way—brave in battle and loyal—but sometimes he was a bit stubborn.

"I haven't appointed Regimental Commander for the Third Infantry Regiment yet. How about it? Are you confident you can do a good job?"

Sailik jolted awake and quickly asked Turas for confirmation, "Sir, are you serious?"

"Real!"

Sailik jumped up immediately. "Sir, just you wait and see, I'll definitely do a great job."

Seeing that Sailik was in a hurry to leave, Turas quickly called out, "Before you leave, make sure you arrange the guards for me. I'll allow you to send 50 men with you to the Third Regiment!"

After saying "I understand" to Sailik, he ran off.

Turas could only shake his head. "I don't know if this guy can do a good job. Oh well, Ivand and Gaba are still here, they'll help him."

Turas turned to his adjutant. "Have all the units been notified already?"

"Yes, Legion Commander, all units have accelerated their march as you requested!"

"Even at our normal pace, we can reach Carn City by tomorrow afternoon. Why did you tell that Regimental Commander Karanga that we would arrive before sunset tomorrow?"

Turas smiled. "Zapar and Karanga are both quite capable, after all, they're under my teacher's tutelage. I believe they can help me open the city gates, but..."

Seeing that his adjutant was still listening attentively, Turas did not continue to keep him in suspense, "But my teacher is deeply rooted in the Second Legion, and his reputation is very high. With just the two of them, they can open the city gates, but I don't think they can hold out for long."

If my teacher says a word, even officers at the Squad Leader level will probably stop listening to them.

I told them this time, which was basically a smokescreen for the Second Legion.

"Once Dirac leads his troops into the city, Cant will probably hesitate to attack immediately after learning our arrival time, which will give me more time."

The adjutant understood Turas's plan and couldn't help but admire it. However, he wondered if this scheme could fool Cant and the others, could it fool Count Carter?

However, seeing Turas's confident expression, he kept the question to himself.
