On the eve of the 31st Festival

Asu Ruffat left, but Leo did not leave. He approached Thomas and took a closer look at Thomas' wound.

Even if Thomas's situation is not enough to describe it as "bad". You must know that if it weren't for the fact that Thomas's actual situation was known, they would not have let the prophet Feier take care of Thomas, but instead found two servants to take charge of this matter. Although Leo also loved Thomas, he knew that some things might be irreversible. But Ashu Rufate refused to consider any of these "probable" problems. Ashu Rufate just mentioned a little bit of bad predictions on Thomas' recovery, Ashu Rufate's expression seemed to be eating people.

In fact, Ashu Rufate and Thomas are two completely different people. If they hadn't seen it myself, Leo wouldn't have believed that people with such great differences in personality would have such deep feelings for each other. Thomas is a generous, kind, hospitality person (at least for those who are not hostile). He is good at dating people, and has that kind of convincing demeanor and heart. After staying with Thomas for a long time, people will be infected by Thomas without realizing it. Thomas never gets angry. His smile can melt the ice between people. His expression and demeanor will make people unknowingly attracted, his generosity and tolerance can make people feel grateful, and every command of his will make people willing to obey, and even willing to sacrifice his life. When Thomas walks by with a confident smile, confidence fills everyone's chest.

Ashu Rufate is another type of person. Perhaps because of an outsider (and he has not been here for a long time), he doesn't like to communicate with people very much and is taciturn. Except for William Daly and Leo, he has almost no caring friends. He and most other knights are only ordinary friends, and they are not very in-depth. Ashu Rufate is not a rough person, but he always naturally shows a fearful aura. Moreover, he is not only a knight, but also a magician, but also adds a mysterious halo to him. Ashu Rufate is not angry easily, but once he gets angry, his fierce expression

And eyes are enough to freeze other people's blood, and what they do is absolutely trembling. The execution ceremony of prisoners on the city that day is the best proof. In short, he is a natural and daunting person, and it is impossible to get close to him (of course, those who really come into contact with him, such as Leo and William Daly, know that Ashu Rufate has a noble and gentle side, but not everyone will be happy to come into contact with him). When Ashu Rufate commands the troops, he always uses an unconscious sense of oppression to make people obey orders. When Ashu Rufate orders an attack in rage, people always rushed to the battlefield under strong fear.

Thomas' subordinates always obeyed his orders because of "respect". Ashurufate used "fear" to drive his subordinates.

"I have tried my best." Perhaps Leo's attitude of carefully examining the wound made Feier uneasy, the prophet said.

This female prophet also made Leo feel uneasy. When they set out, there were three female prophets and three hundred Holy Grail knights, but now the Holy Grail knights have all been killed on the battlefield, and only Feier is the only one who survived. But this female prophet... Well, well, it was only a blind man like Asu Ruffat that could not see the affection in her eyes. Of course, it might also be that Asu Ruffat who deliberately ignored this. However, Leo was a little suspicious because he really couldn't see where Asu Ruffat deserves the favor of a female prophet.

Fei'er has not done anything now. She has devoted all her strength to treatment except taking care of Thomas. In her own words, "integrated with the wind of life." She doesn't even need to walk around, and the wounded in the army can heal in just two or three days as long as it is not seriously injured or has an inflamed wound.

Leo carefully washed away the pus from Thomas' wound with clean water. There was no hope, and he had to get "myour" as soon as possible. Without this thing, Thomas could only count the time he could live in "day".

He stood up and was tired into his lumbar spine like an awl. Their original logistics officer was caught on a cannonball flying over the city wall while defending the city, and unfortunately returned to the embrace of the God of Nature on the spot. Now that guy Asu Ruffatt pushed all the things besides the battle to him. For the first time, Leo understood that the logistics officer was really not easy to be, especially when he was working part-time jobs. Maintaining the normal actions of the entire army every day would make him exhausted. I really don’t understand why that guy Asu Ruffatt could still be energetic without sleeping for several days.

But there is no time to rest. A big battle is imminent, and he must do his best to prepare for all the war. Damn Paro!

Two days later, in the tent of the commander of the coalition forces, Ashurufate, Leo and several other officers were gathered here. These officers were actually Ashurufate's deputy generals - because in name, Thomas was the head coach, and Ashurufate and Leo were just deputy generals. However, the military command is now under the responsibility of Ashurufate, and he also needs some "actual deputy generals" to assist in the command.

A big map is laid on the table.

"The enemy is approaching here," someone pointed on the map. "According to the reconnaissance results, the total strength of Paro's army is about 30,000. General Thomas was seriously injured and had not healed and was unable to command the army for the time being, so they were determined to fight. For them, this may be the only opportunity. If everything does not change, we will face the enemy head-on in the mist grassland the day after tomorrow."

One hand pointed to a certain location on the map. It can be seen that the foggy grassland is a vast field of flat land. It is not the land of any lord, but directly belongs to the Casillos royal family, producing the best quality horses.

"If you fight here, it will be a face-to-face battle without any tricks. A clash of strength and courage." Someone said this.

"Hmph, I'm thinking so too." Ashu Rufat stared at the future battlefield pointed out on the map, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Sir, their troops are more than us. We only have 25,000 people..." Someone spoke out to remind him.

"Those are just defeated generals. They are just a bunch of cowards who can barely escape with their legs. The bravest of them have been buried underground by us!" Ash Rufate was not shaken at all. Only those who are extremely confident or arrogant can speak in this tone.

"The Paro people have newly appointed generals. Now they are no longer in chaos, but have complete leadership. Moreover, they have the mysterious monster cavalry. Our scouts tell us that ordinary horses will immediately neigh and jump without control as soon as they approach that kind of 'eagle horse'."

"I found out from a businessman that the thing doesn't seem to be called 'eagle horse', but a 'half griffin'."

"I'm afraid this is the Paro people's trick. Once the war horses are frightened, the knights' charge formation will immediately collapse. If they are subjected to counterattack from the enemy at this time, the consequences will be very serious..."

Is this kind of thing that is not known as "eagle horse" or "half griffin" the last reliance of the Paro people? If Thomas was still sober here, he would definitely laugh. This is simply a naive idea. If the Paro people really expect to use this kind of monster cavalry to win, they should use all means to hide the monsters and then take them out at the moment of the battle. Only in this way can they achieve the "unexpected" effect.

Moreover, their best choice is not to come and ask for battle, but to retreat to the Langkou Fortress.

No, we can't think of it from this perspective. Ashu Rufate thought of Thomas's teachings in his mind. No one is free, and the army is the same. Why did the Paro people come to fight this battle that is meaningless regardless of victory or defeat? It was an obvious gambler mentality. Just like the Greyhound Knights were going to venture into the mountains. Although these were all bad choices, they were the same choices they had to make under external pressure.

If the Greyhound Knights did not enter the mountains to fight Thomas in a decisive battle, but instead blocked the main road and blocked Thomas's way out, then perhaps the current situation would be completely different. However, this military best choice could not be achieved at all. Because the Paro people did not trust the Greyhound Knights. If the Greyhounds made such a conservative and steady attitude, then it is very likely that they would get another doomsday - abandoned by the Paro people and collapsed with the interruption of support.

And now, the Paro people should not have woken up from the dream of "conquering the entire Casillos and achieving a comprehensive victory". Therefore, they ignored the objective facts and the fact that they were actually at an extreme disadvantage, and tried their best to gamble. They put all their capital on the gambling table, hoping to win a meaningless victory.

Ashu Rufate came back from his meditation and realized that the argument was over. Everyone was watching him, waiting for his final order.

"There is nothing to say, fight the Paro army head-on," said Ashu Rufate. His eyes passed the area on the map that was destined to be a bloody battlefield and stayed on another thing-that was the Wolfkou Castle, the only trophy that the Paros could retain in this war.

Wolfkou Castle is his only hope. Such an important castle cannot have reserves of "myrrh". If he can capture this fortress in time and seize the "myrrh" inside, perhaps he can still save Thomas.

Thomas has been unable to survive for a month no matter what. But as long as the wound can be anti-inflammatory and as long as it can be closed, he still has a glimmer of hope.

...

Although the remaining snow in winter has not completely melted, the first green has quietly emerged from the ground on the grassland in spring. This is the famous horse farm in Casillos. Spring is the critical moment for horse mates and mating. The grassland should be busy at this time.

But now, an indescribable solemn aura enveloped the originally calm grassland. Under the rising morning sun, the two armies were gradually walking out of the camp to form a formation. Paro's army was 30,000, and Casilos and St. Gene's coalition forces were 25,000, and the final decisive battle here.

Today is a good day for battle. Although there are clouds, the sun is shining and the view is wide. The soldiers of both armies hold their weapons tightly and look at the enemy in the distance with expressionless faces. Even the war horses seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and the horse's hooves kicked and hit the ground impatiently.

"The enemy lined up the geese formation!" A scout ran to Ash Rufate and reported loudly.

"Yanxing Formation..." Ashrufate repeated in a low voice. The Yanxing Formation is a central assault formation. Among all three central assault formations, the Yanxing Formation is the strongest on both wings. The needle-shaped formation completely abandons the two wings, the cone-shaped formation is a unit with only restraints on both wings, while the Yanxing Formation is further strengthened. The Paro people's combat plan is now clear.
