Crotokatax's unintentional words flashed through Printols' mind like a light. He suddenly widened his eyes and beat his thigh hard: "The mercenaries do not have the ability to carry out such a large-scale fraud, but there is a city-state in Greece that often uses such tactics to win!"

Crotokatakus, who had been in the General Staff, did not lack military knowledge. He blurted out: "You mean the Spartans?!"

"That's right, it's the Spartans! We were fooled by Agsilaus!" Printols said anxiously, "No wonder their left wing has not performed well so far, because they are not Spartans at all, they are just wearing the outfits of Spartans. The real Spartans are still in the right wing Agsilaus, who are most familiar to them, confusing us with this little trick!"

Crotokataks understood, and he tried his best to suppress the tension in his heart, but his anxious mood still penetrated into his words: "Hurry... Send a messenger and immediately rush to inform... Ktisus Legion Commander! Tell him that there are Spartan warriors on the opposite side, and they are defeating! Don't chase them! Be careful of their counterattack!"

"We will also send another messenger to inform the commander of Trotiras and Olivers, respectively, so that they can seize the great opportunity of the Spartan warriors' defiance of being defeated and their formation is not in order to increase the offensive efforts. Maybe we can find a breakthrough in our middle lane and right wing!"

Printols' suggestion was quickly adopted and ordered by Crotokatax. At the same time, he gradually returned to his peace and said with gratitude: "Mr. Printols, thanks to you who discovered the Spartans' conspiracy in time! Now it seems that as long as we deal with it in time, the Spartans' deception will make the situation more beneficial to us, right?"

Crotokataks's words made Printols stunned again: With Agsilous's ability, Is it worth it to take such a big risk but not get good returns?

He suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly: "Get the battle map again!"

Taking the wooden board from the staff officer, Printols' sharp eyes swept across the map quickly, and finally focused on the blue vertical bar on the corner, with a very small line of words written below: 4,000-5,000 Tigerian Allies.

Printols finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from: "We received news before that Tegaya was attacked by the Spartan army, with heavy casualties. If it was not rescued, it would probably be captured... But in such a bad situation, Tegaya can still send so many soldiers to the war?!"

Crotokatax was shocked and immediately had a terrible thought. He couldn't help but shivered: "What you mean is that... the Tegas lied to us. They were actually acting with the Spartans, but those corpses..."

"Your Highness, we don't have time to investigate the details!" Printols poked the map and said anxiously: "Now that the Tega army appears behind the First Legion, I can be sure that they will join the Spartan army to attack the First Legion forward and back. This is Agsilous's real conspiracy, and we must rescue it immediately!"

"Ah...yes, rescue..." When Crotokatakus thought of the possible consequences, his mind was so nervous that he was blank.

"Go and notify the Seventh Legion and rush to the left wing immediately to rescue the First Legion!" Printols urgently issued an order on his behalf.

The messenger who received the order subconsciously looked at Crotokataks.

Crotokataks waved his hand and said anxiously: "Perform according to the order issued by Chief of Staff of Printols!"

The messenger turned his horse's head and ran to the rear.

Unexpectedly, Tigtinos came over on horseback and questioned: "We have not received any news of the Tigians attacking the First Legion now. These are just your guesses. If the Tigians do not rebel at all, wouldn't our Seventh Legion go in vain! If there is another abnormality in other places at this time, the Seventh Legion will not have time to rescue!"

"If you receive news of the Tegas attacking the First Legion and then go to rescue, it will be too late! If something goes wrong, I am willing to take responsibility!" Printols responded without retreating.

"It was the order I gave." Crotokatakus looked at Tigtinos. Although the volume was not loud, he could not refuse: "Execute it now, Tigtinos Legion Commander."

Tigtinos didn't want to say anything more, so he glared at Printols, and then immediately saluted: "Yes, Commander, may Hades bless you!"

Then he returned from the horse and could hear his roar from afar: "Brothers, you have a chance to make contributions! Be more energetic, follow me and accelerate towards the left wing of the military formation!"

"Roar!Roar!Roar!!!..."

Looking at the rolling dust and smoke from the soldiers of the Seventh Legion, Crotokataks calmed down and said seriously: "Mr. Priintols, I believe in your judgment!"

"Thank you for your trust!" Printols smiled bitterly and said softly: "I hope my judgment is wrong."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Congratulations, Lord Legion, our First Legion has defeated the enemy's right wing!" The captain of the guard excitedly congratulated Ktisus.

Although Ktisus was excited, he was also a little confused: "Strange, we thought the enemy on the other side was not simple before. The First Legion might encounter a tough battle, and there was no obvious sign. Victory suddenly came. Putris, what do you think is the reason?"

Kticus was asking his staff officer.

"Legislative Commander, I think... we should notify all companies not to rush to defeat the enemy. We should first control our soldiers, maintain our formation, and pursue them carefully to prevent accidents!" Putris advised cautiously.

Kitsus hesitated. After all, he finally defeated the strong enemy. If he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, he would slow down his pursuit, which would give the dispersed enemy a chance to breathe. The previous battle would be in vain...

At this time, the scout cavalry of the First Legion rushed to report: "Report to the commander of the Legion, the army of Tega is approaching us quickly!"

"These shameless Tega people! We didn't come out to help when we fought hard before, but now we saw the enemy defeated, we ran out to get the credit! Bah!" Ktisus spat, looking at the rear of the warlock with contempt. Through the gray dust fog, he could clearly see the high Tega flag and the black crowd, and the front of the team was extending rapidly to both sides...

Kitsus, who had been struggling on the battlefield for decades, suddenly had a very bad feeling, which made him unable to help shouting: "The Tegas are too close to us! Let's tell them immediately, tell them not to follow us, and go somewhere else to fight the Spartans!"

After the messenger took the order and left, Kitsus muttered uneasyly: "The situation is wrong. Judging from the posture of the Tega people, it doesn't seem like they are here to get a bargain, but want to charge..."

"Legislature Commander, you should be careful. Although Tegaya is already our ally, we have no idea about it and have never fought together." Putris reminded with some concern.

After hearing the staff officer's words, Kticus finally stopped hesitating. He immediately issued an order: "Notify the company at the back of the military formation to stop advancing immediately, line up backwards, and prepare for defense!"

Five or six commanders rode out at the same time and rushed forward to give orders to the company still running.

"Legislative Commander, some soldiers defend on the spot, and some soldiers are still pursuing... In this way, the forces of our First Legion will be dispersed. It is better to just let the entire legion stop advancing!" Putris made a suggestion again.

Kitsus did not expect that he would face such a difficult choice in the first battle when he became the commander of the army: partial defense and partial pursuit can prevent danger and expand the results of the battle, but it will cause the dispersion of troops, which poses great risks; and the entire legion stopped pursuing and defended on the spot. What if the Tigerians had no malicious intentions towards the First Legion? Then the victory he got was flying, which is a pity...

This is one of the reasons why Kitsus has always been reluctant to be the commander of the legion: it is too troublesome to make a choice!

But soon he would not have to worry anymore, because he saw with his own eyes that the messenger who stopped Tigeria's army suddenly turned over and fell off the horse, fell to the ground without moving, and had a javelin inserted into his body.

"The Tegas are the enemy! Immediately sound the trumpet and the whole army stops moving forward!" Kitsus shouted anxiously.

Originally, he and the staff officer led the guards, reconnaissance team, mountain reconnaissance team, messenger team, and squad team... and followed the First Legion. Now the situation is critical and he is running forward desperately. Otherwise, the command center of the First Legion would face the impact of the Tigeria army directly.

"Wuwu!...Wuwu!..." At the same time as the First Legion's horn was blowing, the Tegaya people also made a deafening roar, speeding up their advance. At this time, they were only more than 200 meters away from the company behind the First Legion.

After receiving the order from Kitsus, the officers of these companies seized the time to gather some scattered soldiers and reorganized the queue. There was no time to form a unified defense line. Countless Tega people rushed over like a tide and rushed into the first legion like a sieve, as if they were going to submerge all the soldiers of the Dionians.

"Shield Array Defense!"

"Brothers, don't panic! Keep defending, our reinforcements will come soon!"

But in this chaos, the hysterical shouts of the officers of the First Army team kept ringing, and the small squadrons stood in the tide like rocks.
