Ironvine Territory (80)

"This location is really great!"

Baron Brown looked with satisfaction at the prepared position before him, with Bed Crossbow neatly placed on the earthen slope.

Victor had just circled the mound under the arrow tower. "Yes, if we build Bed Crossbow here, we can block the two passages to the east and west. We only have 6 Bed Crossbow and 3 repeating Repeating Crossbow here, plus 4 small Catapult."

"If we had more repeating Repeating Crossbow, no matter how large the enemy army was, they wouldn't be able to get close to this place."

Baron Brown said somewhat embarrassedly, "There aren't that many left. When we got here, the horse pulling the carriage accidentally stepped into a horse trap, causing the carriage to overturn and damaging two Bed Crossbow."

Further inspection revealed that the damaged component was a critical structural part, which was beyond the repair capabilities of the limited spare parts we had. It could only be disassembled and used as spare parts for other units."

Victor rubbed his forehead with his middle and index fingers. "Is the Repeating Crossbow okay?"

"The Repeating Crossbow were fine; they were disassembled at the time and were not damaged."

"That's good. When you get here, you should make the Bed Crossbow modular and disassemble it into parts during transport."

Michael, write this down and report it to the Arms Factory when you get back."

"Yes!"

Just then, several Guard Cavalry ran back from multiple directions to report the enemy situation they had discovered to Victor.

After hearing the report, Victor gathered everyone together and located the enemy's position on the map, which was advancing towards them.

Yellen looked at the map hesitantly and said, "A total of five enemy forces?"

Victor added, "At least 5 shares!"

Yellen hurriedly said, "Viscount Victor, you should listen to me and retreat immediately. We still have warhorses here. You can leave now. There are so many enemies; we can't hold them off with just a few men."

If you are worried, leave your battle flag here. I will stay here with the troops of our territory, and I promise to hold out until the very end."

Seeing Yellen's resolute expression, Victor chuckled and said, "Yellen, don't try to persuade me. I won't leave."

I will never let such a good opportunity slip by; the Ursus Legion Commander is among these five enemy forces.

Now that it is broad daylight, although our night raid was effective, it did not completely defeat the enemy. We did not capture many prisoners, and many defeated soldiers are still scattered in the camp.

The enemy's command system is still intact. Given time, they can reorganize these routed soldiers, and then our situation will be dire.

"Now that such a great opportunity is right in front of me, how could I possibly abandon my troops and retreat?"

Yellen was surprised that Victor was even more resolute than she was, and for a moment she was speechless.

Just as Victor was about to continue making arrangements, a messenger ran up, shouting as he ran, "My lord, I am a messenger from the First Regiment, here to report to you on the orders of Regimental Commander James."

Regimental Commander James has joined forces with the Foss Regiment and is rushing here at full speed!

The messenger kept repeating this phrase until he reached Victor, at which point he collapsed to his knees, utterly exhausted.

Victor quickly had someone help him up and asked him a few questions carefully. After receiving a satisfactory answer, he had someone take him away to rest.

Victor turned to the crowd and said, "Our troops are on their way, everyone. We are not fighting alone."

"My mind is made up. Today, right here, I will capture and kill Ursus, the Legion Commander of the Fourth Legion, and end this battle once and for all."

All the officers who had been summoned cheered in unison, full of confidence in victory.

Seeing this, Knight Yellen abandoned his previous idea and no longer suggested that Victor retreat.

Victor quickly completed the deployment of his existing troops, which involved defending against attacks from behind earthen mounds, making full use of the advantages of heavy weapons to kill the enemy and disrupt their formation.

However, Knight Yellen keenly noticed that the Heavy Infantry unit of the Guard Battalion was not in Victor's deployment. He then connected this to some of Victor's arrangements and couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
