Plane Merchant Fancy Death

Chapter 468 Pursuit
Two days passed quickly, and during these two days, the border of the empire was surprisingly peaceful.After the Psychus Empire launched an attack on the first day, they did not launch an attack for the next two days, until the afternoon of the second day, a person came to the Psychus Empire's barracks.

"Welcome to Lord Ramirez Sword Saint." As the head of the legion, Monterey actually greeted this person outside the barracks this time. A tall man appeared in front of him. Lightly armored, but with a huge two-handed sword on his back, he exudes an unusual aura. He is Ramirez Sword Master, a legendary figure born in the Psychus Empire.

"Monterey, long time no see." The other party seemed to be an old acquaintance with Monterey, and he waved casually when he saw him, "I heard that there is a dragon knight on the other side?"

"Yes, we saw with our own eyes a giant dragon that was not yet fully grown up flying into the enemy's camp, that's why we troubled you to come here." Monterey said, although Monterey's age looks like that of Bilami Ramirez Swordmaster is still older, but the actual situation is that after reaching the Saint level, the lifespan will be extended, and the apparent aging rate will also be slowed down, so in fact, the actual age of Ramirez Swordmaster is one generation older than Monterey. There's nothing wrong with Monterey holding on to the gift of juniors.

"I also heard that there seems to be a giant dragon in the marshal of the St. Welland Empire." Ramirez Sword Master here nodded, "I didn't expect it to be true, Dragon Knight, I haven't seen it for many years. "

"If the enemy summons a giant dragon to attack us, please help us," Monterey said.

"That's natural." Ramirez Juggernaut nodded, "I'm here because of this matter, and of course I've informed the Holy League, so don't worry, once the other party really sends a dragon to attack , I will stop him."

"Then don't worry about it." Monterey said, yes, with a holy rank in charge, he can finally attack with peace of mind.In the past two days, he was really worried about this situation. If the enemy really sent a giant dragon to attack their main camp, it would be very difficult for them to resist, and they could only find a way to run away.But the enemy did not do this, and it is estimated that it is also a matter of the Holy League.And Monterey didn't stimulate them too much, so they didn't attack these two days.

Of course, now that the Juggernaut has arrived, there is no such scruple, so Monterey here also immediately ordered to prepare to attack the city.Although it is already afternoon, Monterey has been waiting for two days, and he can't wait any longer, so he ordered an immediate siege.

"The opponent is going to attack the city!" At this time, the soldiers on the city wall also saw this situation.

"Then retreat quickly, everyone listens to my order and acts immediately." A small team leader said immediately.

Yes, at this time, most of the people of the [-]th Legion are no longer in the fortress. The large force has left the fortress yesterday, and the remaining group of people are only responsible for confusing the enemy. If they all evacuate directly, the enemy will of course immediately You will find it, but if you keep some people around, the enemy won't be able to find it for a while.

Just like what the legion commander said, I don’t know why the enemy hasn’t attacked for a while, and they didn’t start to organize an attack until now, and they also obeyed Goff’s order. Once the enemy started to organize and prepare to attack the city, they retreated immediately, of course not Just join up with the big troops and retreat directly in the other direction, because the enemy's troops will definitely only chase after the big troops, so their retreat is still very safe.

Because they had already prepared, the speed of retreat was still very fast. By the time the enemy's troops began to attack, the rest of the people in the fortress had already left the fortress and fled.And at this time, the troops of the Psychus Empire on the opposite side also realized that something was wrong.

"Marshal, something is wrong with the enemy's situation." The soldiers hurriedly reported to Monterey.

Monterey quickly took a look at the situation. Originally, he didn't think he would be able to capture the fortress today, so he sent out troops that focused on consumption. As planned, first consume the defensive resources of the fortress, and then It was an established plan to take down the fortress in one go, so Monterey didn't even bother to supervise the battle this time. However, when he went out to take a look now, he immediately realized that something was wrong. There were no enemy soldiers on the city wall.

Yes, my side is preparing to attack the city with great fanfare. Logically speaking, the enemy's troops will definitely gather on the city wall and prepare to defend. The city wall should be crowded with people. From the angle of his side, it looks like there is only one person on the city wall. None, which is really weird.

"No matter what the enemy is, launch an attack directly." Monterey was unmoved. After all, most of today's troops are sent to death and are used for consumption, so even if the enemy has any tricks, they will die if they die, and they are not elites. The army is nothing special, at most it will be completely wiped out, which is not unacceptable to him.So with a wave of his hand, the attack horn next to him sounded, and the large army advanced towards the city wall.

However, what happened made Monterey even more confused. The troops were already close to the city wall. At this time, according to the normal situation, the surrounding area was already raining arrows.Monterey really doesn't know why the other party has no reason to shoot arrows. Could it be that they are going to wait for their troops to get closer to save ammunition?No matter what, it has nothing to do with him anyway, continue to attack.

However, until their siege vehicles were pushed in front of the enemy's city gate, his troops were still not attacked, which made him even more surprised. The siege vehicles had already reached the enemy's gate. Will it pour fuel and ignite the siege engine?If this is not burned, isn't the city gate dangerous?And what about the enemy's bow and arrow troops?
Not only did the enemy not attack, but the well fence troops on the Monterey side also did not attack, because there was no one on the city wall, it was empty.The quietness of the battlefield made Monterey a little scared. The more strange the enemy behaved, the more he couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Master Marshal, this is not right." The adjutant next to him also said.

"I know, wait a minute." Monterey looked calm. At least he couldn't show too much panic in front of his subordinates, but in fact, he was a little panicked in his heart and didn't know what was going on with the enemy.

"Report, the ladder has been erected."

"Report, our vanguard has successfully climbed the city wall."

"Report, the enemy's city gate has been broken."

Soon, good news came one after another. Yes, facing the unguarded city, their attack was of course smooth sailing.Since no one stood against the city gate, the solid city gate was quickly smashed by the siege vehicles, and the soldiers climbed up the city wall smoothly, and now they have entered the city.

"Any enemy troops spotted?" Monterey asked.

"I didn't find any enemies." The soldier here replied.

Monterey still didn't know what was going on, but he was very careful. He didn't send troops into the city yet, but let the siege troops in front continue to search inside the fort. On the one hand, he was searching for the enemy, and on the other hand, he was also checking Is there an ambush or something.

After waiting for another half an hour, the search of course yielded no results.Yes, there was no one in the fortress, and it was completely turned into an empty city. After hearing the news, Monterey realized that he had been tricked. It was estimated that the troops of the Fourth Army had already left the fortress, but he himself had been there all the time. None were found.

"These cowards must have been scared off by us." A general laughed and said.

"..." Monterey stared at the other party. He had fought against Goff more than once. He knew that this guy could not be a coward. This must be a planned retreat. Some soldiers were misleading, because after careful inspection, they found that the enemy had probably been gone for more than a day.

So the question is, why did the other party retreat, and where did they retreat?Monterey felt that it was not a good thing for him to win this fortress. If it was not for a purpose, the enemy would definitely not give up this excellent fortress and leave.

"Report, Lord Marshal, we found traces of the enemy's retreat, heading north-northeast." One of the soldiers under his command reported, "According to the traces, it may have been a day."

"Damn it!" Monterey thumped the table, playing him like an idiot, this Goff is really brave enough.After thinking for a while, Monterey said, "The whole army has them, pursue them immediately!"

"Master Marshal, do you want to pursue immediately?" The adjutant next to him asked, "We have already captured this fortress, why don't we tidy up here for a while?"

"Although I don't know why the enemy is retreating, it is definitely not a good thing." Monterey said, "We must not let this army go. If they are going to go back and join other troops, it is not good for us. News, the enemy has only left for a day now, we still have a chance to catch up, chase them immediately and leave them behind."

"Yes, my lord." Although the deputy commander was a little puzzled, he still obeyed Monterey's order, and immediately ordered the troops to integrate and set off, and chased in the direction where the Fourth Army left.Of course, although it is a pursuit, Monterey is still very careful. The enemy is not routed, so it is possible to ambush them. When encountering a terrain that seems more suitable for an ambush, Monterey will also be careful to let the scouting troops see clearly before letting them go. The large troops advanced, but they always found that they were about a day away from the troops in front, and they just couldn't catch up.

At this time, the troops of the Fourth Army in front were already approaching the station of the troops of the Third Army.
