Battle at Stone Bridge (Two-in-One)

Time passed second by second, and the Northern Principality soon finished replenishing its water supplies.

During this time, Nalant and the others watched everything unfold, yet made no move.

With more than ten thousand enemy soldiers glaring at them from barely a li beyond the stone bridge, they did not dare act rashly.

Besides, attacking those Northern Principality soldiers fetching water would be of no use and would instead expose their own trump cards.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

Once the water replenishment was complete, the encampment Nalant and the others had secretly hoped for did not materialize.

Horns immediately sounded from within the Northern Principality army.

As the horns rang out, more than two thousand fully armed soldiers promptly assembled at the very front.

"They're preparing to attack!"

Nalant and the others exchanged glances, all feeling tremendous pressure.

Even beads of sweat had appeared on Boris and Rell's foreheads. After all, this was effectively one against ten—no one could remain calm at a moment like this.

"Prepare for battle. Don't worry. Since they're in such a hurry to come and hand us their heads, then we'll give them a proper lesson!" Seeing Boris and Rell's reactions, Nalant spoke to reassure them.

Though he himself was panicking like hell and felt rather uncertain, he was still a man who had fought bloody battles with real blades and spears many times. On the surface, he remained as steady as an old dog.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

As Nalant's voice fell, a second horn sounded from the opposite bank.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

When the horn call ended, waves of battle cries, like mountains roaring and seas crashing, rose from the opposite bank. Amid those surging shouts, the more than two thousand Northern Principality soldiers began slowly advancing toward the stone bridge.
