"It seems that the decision to come here first was the right one. The threat posed by these Goths is indeed extraordinary." After eating a few pieces of venison, Qin Ze took the kettle and looked at the ruins in front of him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we suffered heavy casualties this time, and now..." The soldier beside him agreed and turned his gaze there. At this moment, the topography of the pass had already been completely changed.

In this collapse, the troops that had previously attacked the pass were almost wiped out, and many of their bodies could not even be found. Only a very small number of soldiers who had not yet reached the pass managed to survive, and then they all retreated to the base camp.

Now, there are only less than 50,000 soldiers left in the entire base camp, and since entering the Enzo Mountains, the total casualties have reached more than 300,000. Looking back at every battle fought in the past, there has never been such a high loss.

This is certainly because after entering Enzo, the terrain has been extremely unfavorable, but if there had not been this landslide, this result would never have happened. Now that the mountain road has been washed away and buried, it seems that the troops can no longer leave Enzo via the conventional route.

"Your Majesty, we have to find a new way out," the soldier continued.

Qin Ze drank a few sips of water from the kettle and nodded: "Of course, the Golts brought us obstacles with their geographical advantages, but now everything is destroyed, we will have equal conditions to fight."

Qin Ze put down the kettle and continued indifferently: "Although the road is destroyed, it is not a big obstacle."

"After dawn tomorrow, send out scouts to explore the way. We don't need to look for a wide road, as long as we find a path that can cross the pass. Although the collapse is serious, it won't destroy all the mountain roads outside the pass."

"After we find the path to cross the pass, we will try to find a mountain road that is not affected by the landslide. We will continue along this route."

After the words fell, the soldier hesitated and said: "Then it may take our army a long time to get out."

Qin Ze shook his head and said, "No, I mean to find a safe path to escort me out."

"The soldiers here don't need to follow us out. They will stay in Enzos, set up outposts, build fortifications, and establish a complete line of defense."

At this point, Qin Ze stood up and said in a deep voice: "From now on, we will take over Enzoshi, and when we leave Enzoshi, I will be the army."

"After the Golts lose Enzos as a barrier, the next battlefield will be the plains, and there, the battlefield will be completely dominated by us!"

The next day, the first day of February, at dawn, the snow had stopped and the ground was covered with white. At the foot of the mountain east of Enzos, Dingle left the post station with his cavalry early in the morning and rushed to Salvia.

Although the weather and road conditions were not very good, Dinger estimated that he could reach Salivia within five days if he traveled quickly during the day and rested at the post stations along the way at night. Before that, according to the information he received yesterday, Admiral Saski, who was ordered by the emperor to lead the Fifth Army to Enzos, would arrive in Pariston on February 4th.

Dinger knew that the messenger who left the post station yesterday evening had already brought the final results of the Enzos battle to various post stations, so Admiral Saski would receive the news before meeting him. Therefore, he did not plan to wait for a meeting with Saski at a certain place in the next journey. The route taken by the army group was the main road, but if he wanted to rush to Salvia as quickly as possible, he could take other routes.

Therefore, before leaving the post station, Dingle deliberately left behind several cavalrymen and ordered them to wait here for the arrival of the Fifth Army. After the meeting, they should report in detail to General Saski all the war information they had experienced in the Enzos Mountains during this period.

As for the next move of the Fifth Army after arriving in Enzos, Dingel believed that Saski would make corresponding arrangements, and all he had to do was to arrive in Salvia as soon as possible, hand the letter to von Paaren in person, and then determine what actions he would take in this war. After determining his attitude, he would take the next step accordingly.

At the same time, Qin Ze, who was still trapped on the west side of the pass, also sent out a large number of scouts to explore the route early this morning.

He believed that after the collapse planned by the Goths, they must have thought that they would not be able to get out of Enzos in a short time. Now, Qin Ze planned to take advantage of this misjudgment of the Goths, get out of the ruins of the pass in the shortest time possible, and then deploy a new round of troops to prepare for war.

After sending thousands of people to explore a suitable route, results soon came out. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, an exploration team brought back news that they had climbed over the pass from the ruins and found the remains of Cornflower Avenue buried by rocks opposite the pass.

Finding the broken road meant that things would be much easier, so Qin Ze asked them to continue surveying along the remaining road to ensure that they would not encounter Gothic ambushes again in the remaining half of the journey. Of course, this was a cautious move, but Qin Ze believed that it was absolutely necessary.

Then, one piece of exploration information after another was brought back by the signalmen who kept returning, and the time came to seven o'clock in the evening.

"Your Majesty, we have surveyed two kilometers along that road and have not found any enemies during this period. In addition, we have found several hidden outposts along the way, but there are no traces of enemies inside. In summary, we can conclude that in the battle at the pass, the enemy had already exhausted all its forces and left no reservations."

Qin Ze touched his chin and said, "It's almost what I thought. They are willing to blow up the mountains and die with us. The possibility of them having something else to do is really not high."

"So how far do we have to go to get out of Enzoshi?"

The signalman immediately replied: "According to the markings on the map, we roughly estimate that there is still about two kilometers to go. From the highest point, we can already vaguely see the terrain outside Mount Enzos, but it's not very clear in the dark."

Qin Ze nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then the information we have gathered today is enough to ensure that the journey ahead will be smooth."

"Don't stop tonight. Keep scouting forward, but be careful. Regardless of whether there are Golts on the road ahead, we must try our best to hide our tracks."

"Besides, we will leave Enzoshi after I meet up with them and form a new army."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The communications soldier responded.

"Escort me out of the pass early tomorrow morning."

"Let's give the Goths a surprise. No, it should be a shock..." Qin Ze touched his chin and corrected himself.
