Chapter 744: Chapter 494: The First Round of Fortress Defense Battle Comes to an End_1


    “Lord Red Devil, what on earth is going on?!”


    In the Saint Night centralmand post behind the depression, soldiers from the two remaining remote legions were copsing like a tide in front of them.


    A middle-aged Tier 4 level Saint Night Army deputy general, unbelievably, spoke to a one-eyed elder in red armor wearing a single metal eyepatch beside him.


    Other Saint Night Armymanders and staff officers around the one-eyed elder in red armor were also filled with shocked expressions.


    A pair of eyes, filled with bloodshot, were wide open, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.


    “Foolish.”


    In the midst of the panic, the one-eyed elder still had a calm demeanor, he said lightly: “It’s already clear that there must be reinforcements assisting the Coldme Army’s camp.”


    However, although the one-eyed elder seemed calm, upon the highmand tform, the oaken handrail beside him was crushed from gripping, leaving only bits of oak on the ground, yet to dissipate.


    “But that doesn’t make sense…”


    The middle-aged deputy general paused for a moment before expressing doubts, “ording to the information we have, there is no reinforcement for Coldme, how could there be assistance?!”


    Pausing again, the middle-aged deputy general had a sudden realization, “Lord Red Devil, do you mean that the enemy’s assistance is not from the regr forces of Coldme?”


    “That’s right, and their numbers are limited, otherwise, they couldn’t have escaped the eyes of our Saint Night.”


    With a slight nod, the one-eyed elder, called the Red Devil, spoke lightly.


    From his single eye filled with murderous intent, it was evident that he was trying hard to suppress the anger surging within him and keep his mind clear.


    “Yes, during the day when we searched for Coldme civilians, three search squads werepletely wiped out… Initially, I thought it was the work of the Coldme Cavalry. Now it seems very likely that they were killed by these reinforcements!”


    On the other side, a middle-aged staff officer in magic robes suddenly brightened up and said.


    “Going by this, the enemy’s strength is obviously not to be underestimated. They could even move freely during our extensive and rigorous search operation…”


    Nodding thoughtfully, the middle-aged deputy general spoke solemnly, “Moreover, August Montgomery holds two Tier 2 elite scout squads and three Tier 4 powerhouses from the assassination families of our Saint Night in his hands.


    Even with the aid of the Coldme Army, it’s clearly no easy task to silently eliminate so many stealth experts without our detection!”


    “If my estimation is correct, there must be at least five to six Tier 4 powerhouses in the enemy camp. Moreover, judging from the momentum, there are at least 300 Tier 2 Magic Cannons in the fortress.”


    The one-eyed elder with his rage somewhat subdued waved his hand, signaling the Priest Group and Guard Group to go forward and regroup the remnants, while continuing to speak.


    “Five to six Tier 4 strongmen and 300 Tier 2 Magic Cannons can’t be afforded bymon forces…”


    Watching the Holy-Light Priests hurry forward, the middle-aged deputy general pondered, “So, is it possible that these mysterious reinforcements are from the Sanders Family or the other great families of Coldme?”@@novelbin@@


    “Impossible.”


    Sneering disdainfully, the one-eyed elder said dismissively, “Currently, with the ever-escting chaos in the Coldme Royal Capital, these cunning Coldme nobles are neither choosing to deplete each other nor offend anyone. They’re all watching quietly.


    In this uncertain situation, they will naturally not support the border war. After all, the influence of these great families in the border area is quite limited, with little interest involved.


    As for the Sanders Family, whose trading conferences are spread all over Coldme, they have aprehensive set of emergency measures in ce. Even if the entire Coldme Eastern Region falls into our hands, they won’t be paralyzed.”


    Pausing for a moment, the one-eyed elder continued, “Besides, given their past experience, if these Coldme great families joined the war, they would want the whole world to know just to show off their family’s strength. How could they act so low-key?”


    “What the general said is true. With the situation in Coldme still unclear, even city lords further away have collectively ignored the Coldme Royal Family’s draft order, let alone the great nobles who are only one step away from the royal family. They would rather have the chance to rece the kingship.”


    Thoughtfully nodding, the middle-aged deputy general asked again, “In that case, who are these mysterious reinforcements in the Mountain Fortress, and why are they helping the Coldme Royal Family?”


    “That’s what I’m pondering.”


    The one-eyed elder stroked his metal eyepatch as he continued, “At present, nothing can be determined.”


    Frowning slightly, a fierce and puzzled expression shed through the one-aged elder’s single eye, which was full of killing intent.


    This sudden mysterious force couldn’t help but remind him of the great victory they had achieved not long ago when the Saint Night Army was at a disadvantage.


    Although that incredibly sessful victory was attributed to the two newly promotedmanders and deputymanders, the strength of the duo was just above Tier 3. Yet they managed to defeat almost ten Tier 3manders and a Tier 4 deputy general from the enemy’s side, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.
