“Your Excellency, are you suggesting that there is a powerful, mysterious force hidden within our ranks?”

After hearing Baron Yeste’s words, the close-guard knight Kara was first stunned, and then a trace of mockery appeared on her pretty face.

While looking in the direction of Leo Ray, she laughed lightly and said, “Don’t be joking. Are you referring to this temporary middle team composed of wounded soldiers?”

“This…” On the other side, Baron Yeste, riding on a tall horse, laughed awkwardly, apparently he did not think that these front-line retreating soldiers would have much effect on the situation.

“Your Excellency, don’t overthink it. As long as I and my cavalry are here, no enemy can stop our footsteps.”

With a confident smile, Kara raised her horse whip and began to gallop towards the heavy knight unit that was clearing the way ahead.

Hearing this, Leo Ray shook his head helplessly with a faint smirk.

“Pride goes before a fall. This woman’s arrogance on the battlefield might not last long before she hits a wall or suffers a setback.”

As expected, just as Leo Ray had anticipated.

Amidst the vultures circling above the battlefield, they traveled for about 20 minutes through the uneven hills.

Suddenly, a new situation arose again.

This time, what appeared in front of everyone was a giant earth fortress about five meters tall.

On the fortress, there were countless figures, and their flags of flames fluttered, undoubtedly indicating that it was occupied by the Coldflame Army, their opponents.

Under the brilliant sunlight, the fortress was located between two lush mountains.

Although there was still a considerable gap on both sides, anyone attempting to pass under the fortress would likely become a live target for the soldiers on the high wall.

What was even more eye-catching was that, scattered around the fortress, there were numerous corpses of Saint Night Army soldiers.

It seemed that at least several Saint Night infantry squads had already shed blood beneath the high wall in their attempts to seize the fortress.

“How can there be a fortress here?!”

Seeing this scene, Female Knight Kara, who had been complacent just a moment ago, was dumbfounded and rooted to the spot.

There was no doubt that her cavalry, however powerful, could not break through such a solid fortress.

“It’s the City Building Skill.”

On the other side, Baron Yeste rode forward with a frown, “To build such a huge earth fortress in such a short time, there must be at least one…no, two Tier 3 Earth Element magician powerhouses stationed there!”

“City Building Skill? And two Tier 3 Magic System powerhouses in a commanding position?”

Upon hearing this, a solemn look appeared on Female Knight Kara’s pretty face.

Without a doubt, as a knight with outstanding equestrian skills, siege warfare was not her forte.

As one could imagine, in this situation, even if the entire team was gathered, it would be hard to gain any advantage against their adversaries.

Just as the two were hesitant, a mysterious messenger soldier with a special blue feather on his helmet galloped from the rear, covered in dust.

“Your Excellency Captain Yeste, the commanding department orders you to immediately capture this fortress and eliminate all enemy forces in this area!”

After the messenger soldier finished speaking, he did not wait for Baron Yeste’s response and left without looking back.

At the same time, under Scarlett’s gentle explanation and Taylor’s perception, Leo Ray swiftly grasped the current situation, who was at the left wing of the central army.”Report to the Lord, there are a total of 2 Tier 3 Magic Powerhouses in the fortress ahead. Tier 1 and Tier 2 Magic Powerhouses account for half of the forces, totaling around a hundred people. It seems that this is a special Coldflame Army magic squad.”

With his eyes slightly closed, Taylor sensed, “In addition, I noticed an abnormal magic fluctuation on top of that fortress. It seems that the enemy still has something hidden.”

“Abnormal magic fluctuation? Senior Taylor, can you elaborate on that?”

On the other side, Scarlett, whose perception was obviously not as strong as Taylor’s, showed a puzzled look and whispered softly.

At this moment, an orange flag lit up at the central army position not far away, signaling for the captains to gather for a meeting.

Following the other captains, Leo Ray came forward. Baron Yeste, who had already dismounted, said solemnly, “I believe you all have seen it. The fortress not far away is a target we must attack.”

Female Knight Kara frowned on one side and added, “Judging from the aura, the size of the enemy forces is somewhere between one and two magic squads.”

“Hence, in a while, apart from Captain Christopher’s temporary squad, which will be responsible for the security of the central army’s left and right wings and rear …”

Nodding to Kara, Baron Yeste continued, “All cavalry dismounts, including the alert squad, will be under the command of Vice Team Leader Kara for the siege. I will lead the three magic squads of the central army to provide support under the city.”

“Yes, sir!” The solemn-faced captains saluted in unison on the other side.

“Captain Your Excellency, can my squad also participate in the siege?”

Hesitating for a moment, Leo Ray still asked the question, touching his nose.

Undoubtedly, the dismounted cavalry’s siege would cause significant casualties, which would not be beneficial to their actions afterward.

Just the combat power of those 50 Tier 2 magicians on the enemy’s walls was obviously much higher than that of the three magic squads on their side, which only consisted of a few Tier 2 magicians.

“Captain Christopher, I think we’d better not.”

Without waiting for Baron Yeste to speak, Female Knight Kara, her arms crossed before her chest, interjected, “You have already fought all night. Just focus on the easiest guard duty.”

Although Kara’s words sounded nice, Leo Ray could still clearly hear a hint of contempt and disdain.

At the same time, the other captains also revealed smirks, apparently thinking that Leo Ray wanted to steal their merits.

Giving a slight shrug, Leo Ray didn’t say anything more.

If that’s the case, they could only let the others suffer first.

This would be a good opportunity for him to further figure out what exactly the enemy had hidden up their sleeve.

Thus, after all the knights had dismounted, Kara led a heavy cavalry squad, three light cavalry squads, and an alert squad.

First, within a safe range, they collected some ladders left by dead soldiers during the previous siege.

Then, the 500-strong siege force began to march toward the fortress in a mighty fashion.

At the same time, the three magician squads led by Baron Yeste closely followed.

Among the troops, magicians in the kingdom’s standard blue robes tightly

It seemed that they were ready to cast spells at the fortress at any time.

As for the temporary squad commanded by Leo Ray, they were placed in the safest area, along with the medical squad, at the rear of the central army.

That being said, as soon as he returned to his squad, Scarlett, hidden under the invisibility cloak, immediately approached Leo Ray and whispered, “Lord, I have figured out what the enemy has hidden..”
