?Chapter 623: Chapter 462: The Fifth Army_1 Chapter 623: Chapter 462: The Fifth Army_1 “Damn it!!”
Looking at the utterly defeated Second Legion, Combart’s face almost turned green. He didn’t expect the enemy to have such strength. How could this be? Not even the Demon Clan could possess such power, but now… they were so easily defeated by these damned chess pieces!
“Retreat, retreat!!”
Without any choice, Combart had to choose to retreat. He wasn’t a fool to persist and put his own men at risk.
But what infuriated Combart even more was…
“Where is the Fifth Army? Where the hell did they go?!”
Unfortunately for him, the Fifth Army couldn’t hear Combart’s complaints. Even if they could, it wouldn’t do any good.
That’s because the general of the Fifth Army, Laures Cadrus, and his deputy Ol Ayre, were currently being held in Stori-13’s prison.
“Ah, who would have thought we’d get caught.”
Reclining against a heap of straw, staring at the dark ceiling above, Laures whistled in amusement.
The Fifth Legion also received orders from the Congress, but this army of only ten thousand guerilla fighters resided on the eastern border when they received the command. By the time the Fifth Army planned to retreat to Bonn Fortress to join forces with the First and Second Legions, Duanmu Huai had already captured Bonn Fortress.
In that situation, the Fifth Legion, of course, wouldn’t foolishly walk into a trap, but being a guerrilla army, they had their own advantages.
Therefore, having received news that the Bonn Fortress had fallen and a portion of the Fourth Legion had left Stori-13 with the Steel Giant to head towards the Bonn Fortress, Laures, the commander of the Fifth Legion, made a decision.
They would take a detour and launch a surprise attack on Stori-13, targeting the headquarters of the Fourth Legion!
His thinking was similar to General Kriolleiv’s. The Fourth Legion initially had forty thousand men, but during the battle with the Tribunal, more than ten thousand soldiers were killed or injured, and some of them fled. The intel suggested that at most, the Fourth Legion had twenty thousand men left. The Bonn Fortress certainly required at least three thousand soldiers to control. So considering the Fourth Legion had dispatched some of their forces, there were at most around ten thousand men stationed at Stori-13, similar to the Fifth Legion.
Although the numbers were similar, Laures didn’t presume the combat abilities would be as well. As guerrillas, the Fifth Legion was more about quality over quantity. The Fourth Legion, on the other hand, was essentially a garbage legion used to stall invasions from other countries. It was like comparing a novice soldier to a super spy. The Fifth Legion clearly seemed more capable!
