"Good!" Temagis replied with only one word, then hurried off to gather his warriors. He was equally anxious because there were many of his tribesn in the outer camp.
"What are you all doing crowding here! Go back to your tents, put on your armor, grab your weapons, and be ready at any mont for the call to battle!" Andres shouted loudly to the warriors gathered around the wooden walls, "Don’t worry, the Great Chief Temagis has already led his team to the rescue, and they will soon drive away the enemy!..."
Andres, accompanied by his guards, shouted over and over again until his voice was hoarse, finally persuading the startled and unsettled warriors to return.
At this mont, standing atop the outer camp tower, Andres finally had the leisure to contemplate the origin of the enemy who attacked the camp while observing the advancing Temagis’ troops.
The rcenaries in the camp? Now the rcenaries were completely surrounded. To prevent them from launching a surprise attack from the camp, Andres ordered the warriors to fill the trenches in front of the inner camp with torches and set up dozens of patrols to detect any movent from the rcenaries. But so far, the rcenary camp remained very quiet, even with the chaos caused by the night raid outside, there was no movent from them.
The originally hidden rcenaries outside? If it was the sa group that attacked the supply convoy, then what was Pulikas doing who was responsible for chasing them down? But reportedly, that rcenary group was not very large in number and could not have staged such a large-scale offensive as tonight! Could there be other hidden rcenary forces outside? But ever since that setback, every area within ten or twenty miles had been searched, and nothing unusual was found!
Could it be the Aldeans? But when the camp was moved again and the rcenary camp was surrounded, special efforts were made to strengthen the defenses on the western side and trenches were dug to completely cut off contact between the Aldeans and the rcenaries and to prevent their surprise attacks. Could it be that the warriors defending the west relaxed their vigilance tonight and allowed the Aldeans to break into the camp? But these cowardly Aldeans had provided no assistance to the rcenaries during the Alliance Army’s two large-scale assaults on the camp, so where would they get the courage to launch a nightti raid after the army had breached the camp?...
Andres pondered over and over but could not get a clear understanding.
He kept a close watch on the movents of the inner camp rcenaries while closely monitoring the situation of Temagis fighting outside the camp.
However, even when the sounds of shouting and killing outside the camp had ceased and the flas extinguished, there was still no sign of Temagis returning with his team.
Andres felt uneasy, quickly sent people out of the camp to investigate, and finally received the news that the enemy had fled, and Temagis was leading his team to rescue the injured soldiers in the camp.
As soon as a sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon, Temagis returned with his team. Each warrior looked as though they’d been through fire and smoke, and they were all carrying wounded.
Upon seeing Andres, without waiting for him to inquire, Temagis took the initiative to say, "When I led the warriors over there, those enemies were already retreating into the western mountains... I’m unfamiliar with the terrain over there, and since it was night, I was afraid of running into an ambush, so I didn’t dare to pursue. Moreover, the camp is full of injured soldiers, and the warriors were eager to rescue them quickly from the burning camp...
Later, I asked the wounded, and they didn’t know where the enemy ca from either, most were attacked while they were asleep. These enemies were very cunning, often they wouldn’t directly take the lives of the warriors but instead cut off their limbs, and as for the originally wounded, they didn’t even touch them, they just set the entire camp on fire..."
Temagis said with hatred, "There are still thousands of injured soldiers outside; we need to send people to bring them all inside."
"Do you know who the nocturnal attackers were?" Andres asked urgently.
"They should be rcenaries. Although I didn’t pursue them, in the firelight I saw clearly that many of them were wearing the unique armor of the rcenaries, unmistakably so. And based on my estimate, this group of enemies was at least 2000 strong."
"More than 2000 rcenaries?!" Andres’s heart skipped a beat: "Then it’s not the sa rcenary unit that attacked our supply convoy, it’s very likely another team they had previously ambushed in the nearby mountains.
If that’s the case, their remaining forces stationed in this camp should not exceed 10,000. And after two battles, their numbers should be even fewer!
We must seize the opportunity to launch a strong attack on this camp, as long as we can eliminate their main forces in this camp, it will be easier to deal with those two wandering units outside..."
As the Segestica Great Leader was passionately discussing, Temagis interrupted him, "Andres, don’t forget, our casualties have also been substantial so far! Of the more than 3000 warriors stationed outside, during the enemy’s surprise attack last night, they were caught completely unprepared, with more than half dead or wounded. Including casualties from the previous two assaults on the camp, our losses are nearing 9000 n! 9000 n! In the 10-plus years since the rebellion against the Skodisqi people, in which battle have we suffered so many deaths and injuries!
These rcenaries are terribly troubleso! Yesterday, the warriors had just endured a tough battle, finally made it inside the camp, only to find trenches, traps, and wooden walls. Morale had already been greatly affected, and at night they saw the camp they originally lived in turned to ash, do you think they still have the morale to continue attacking in a short period!?
