Chapter 173 – Someone Will…
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Like headless chickens, everyone was extremely busy in the process of splitting the army into two and redistributing the weapons and talismans
As for Mila, she ignored everything and everyone, and flew off her war horse and got behind Robin's, hugging him from behind and giving him a kiss on the cheek, saying, "Thank you."
"Haha, no need, how can I let my gorgeous fiancée's city be destroyed while I am watching?" Robin began to laugh bragging, "Come on, get back on your horse, you are going with the Patriarch to Bradley's Pearl City."
"No, I'll stay with you," Mila replied directly and pulled him closer to her
"What do you mean by no? This is your city, go with them!"
"No means no!" Mila replied, annoyed, then grabbed his ear, " didn't you hear what I told you earlier? what if someone tried to kill you when I'm not around, my duckling? I will stay by your side throughout this war… until you return to Jura again at least."
But Robin did not shout in pain this time, but went to look behind him at the girl who was embracing him with and gave her a strange look, as he was thinking of one thing.. * Is this girl really starting to love me? why? …It looks like i have underestimated my charm too much!*

*BOOOOOOOO*
"Forwaaaaard!"
Less than an hour later, the army was restructured and divided into two, one hundred thousand of them continuing their way north as they had been.
The rest looked towards the east.
Billy came beside Robin and General David after arranging their new ranks and asked, "What now? Uncle Brian has a clear destination to go to Bradley Pearl… We have two armies to stop and we know nothing about them except that they are coming to the Duchy of Alton, we can't move blindly and hope we find them…"
"you are right, but for now all I can do is to march at a high pace toward the border with the kingdom of the Lying Water, as we march we will have our destination given to us, don't worry…" said Robin, then shouted, "PEON!"
"Yes, father.. what are your orders?" Peon came quickly as a gust of wind and walked next to Robin's horse,
his left arm that was cut off at the shoulder evidently grew quite a few centimeters and was already half way between his shoulder and elbow!
"Take a few knights from the Wind legion with you and move ahead, find out the locations of the two armies and their next goals," Robin said
"Yes!" Peon bowed and then disappeared in the same way he came with…

Half a day later
*buzzz*
Robin's ring began to care and passed his energy in it, to hear: "Father, we have spotted the two armies, the largest of them with 300,000 soldiers, is moving at a slow pace and in a direct line, you will meet them in five days if you kept marching in the same direction and at your current pace,
and the second army of 60,000 soldiers is moving much faster with an unstable line, they attack anything at sight… they have destroyed a bunch of villages and smaller cities already and are currently clashing with the first barony in Northeast of the Duchy of Alton, I fear they will be victorious within an additional hour and will continue to the next barony."
"..Oh? good job, follow the movements of the smaller army and wait there until we meet soon," Robin answered and hung up
Billy approached, "Is there anything new?"
"..we have to split up again," Robin replied slowly
"Sigh~ I was expecting this.." Bailey sighed, having two armies attacking us at the same time is too dangerous, they can't ignore the other, or they might turn around and attack them from behind…
they just hoped that the two armies would join each other after entering the territory of the Duchy of Alton, but Peon's report destroyed this hope.
"Uncle David," Robin started speaking again, " The 300,000-strong army is still 5 days ahead, you don't need to worry about it, right now we need to stop the smaller one before it mages to inflict too much harm or go much deeper into the duchy…
you continue forward with the main army and lead them to a good area to be the battle ground for the incoming huge battle, and I will take the cavalry and the three special legions and the saints with me to fend off the smaller army, and I promise we will come back for you before the main battle begin."
"…You are only talking a total of about 22,000 soldiers to fend off an army of 60,000? is it really going to suffice you?" Saint David's response is uncertain
"… I think you are right, well, give me 3,000 extra archers to ride behind the cavalries or their horses, that will increase the advantage… It would be a good sight seeing those talisman arrows flying from moving horses haha"
"that's a total of 25 thousand them, Still a little! you need some infantry to block them off at least" Saint David objected
"I hear you, but what can we do? We have to get to them quickly before it's too late, and then get back to you before clashing after five days with the larger army,… we are bound to an extremely tight time line and this is the only option.."
"Sigh~ Alright, do as you wish then," the general sighed, then raised his voice and began to give orders to divide the army, again…

Two days later… the Duchy of Alton… the Barony of Levour
"AAAAHHHHHH"
"They are climbing the walls!"
"where is saint Emily?!"
"Baron, save us! save us!!"
Screams resounded around the main city in the Barony of Levour, but they did not find an answer…
Those who they are seeking help from, are fighting a battle that will determine their life or death.
A few hours have passed since a hostile army showed up from the east, bearing the smell of ash and blood…
After destroying two baronies in succession till the point, their number was reduced to less than 50 thousand.
destroying two baronies and almost finishing the third barony while losing only 10 thousand soldiers… this was an elite troop!
It is clear that they were trying to avoid collision with any large army that can defeat or stop them, so they raced against time to attack the heart cities of each barony before they can master an army of more than 20,000 … but their results were still frightening enough!
Their main weapon was agility and their goal was to cause as much destruction as possible in the Duchy of Alton then go back to where they came from!
"Send reinforcements to the eastern wall, it's about to fall!!" One of the Saints of the Levour family cried out loud while fighting with an enemy saint in mid air
"Hahaha, reinforcements? You are just delaying the inevitable, you think your city will survive for another hour? die, old man!!" His opponent laughed and fired several punches at him that prevented him from watching what was happening below again
Although the fighting was still taking place in front of the walls, the soldiers of the Lying Water Kingdom spared no effort to target behind the walls,
the flaming arrows ignored the soldiers of the Levour family and descended on the citizens' wooden houses, setting fire to a large part of the city
This was one of the reasons that made their task easier along their way here, all the members of the Baron's army were afraid about their families from the fire and their minds became Distracted, which reduced their effectiveness on the battlefield, and many of them deserted their place to try and find their families before they get burned alive
"AAAHH!! His Majesty will not forgive you, you will all suffer a terrible death!!" After one last look around, the baron cursed his opponents with a loud voice, it was all over.
Even if he somehow beats his opponent, there are still 4 other enemy saints fighting two of his family saints.. five against three, it's just a matter of time before all three die..
that not taking in mind his army that is about to fully collapse and his city that is already half burnt…
"Hahaha, you still have the strength to curse me? Then let me take your throat!"
"You dogs!!" The baron repulsed the claw attack that was about to take his life, "You won't come out of the Black Sun Kingdom alive! surely someone will… some… one.. will…!?"
The baron's words refused to come out as he stared at the horizon
"Hahaha old man, finally you decided to keep your tongue in your mouth and wait for death? Did you finally realize how stupid what you say is? you say someone will come and kill us? Nobody even knows we are here yet haha after news of your destruction circulates, we will be already slaughtering our next target! Hahaha, you Black Sun Dogs will regret provoking us!!"
"Big… brother… look behind you…."
