Chapter 71 Hesitation

"Prince, what we should get is internal information," Alassert reminded. "Although I find it incredible, it seems that our evil cousin has a mess when dispatching the army."

A basket... If there is no expeditionary force and no enemy on the local area, then this mistake is understandable. But in this situation, after the expedition force has achieved so many results, the commander who has no ability will not make such mistakes.

Ashrufate had a strong intuition, but he could never find any doubts. Thomas said that if he could find the enemy's trap, it would be equivalent to setting a trap for the enemy. But at present... the distance of the marching is a decisive factor, because the difference between the mine area and the Grey Star Port from the royal city cannot be changed. Unless there is a sudden marching trouble ahead of Ashrufate, such as a volcanic eruption, or a heavy rain for more than ten consecutive days, or something like that, the main force of the Dark Elves would never have the chance to join the battle.

Of course, even if there was such a bad situation, Ashu Rufate could still withdraw the army. He just regretted losing one opportunity, and there was no loss other than that.

Impossible! With the elves' keen and cold nature, they are absolutely...

"Your Highness, what do you think?" asked Arrath.

"Arathut," Ashu Rufate pondered. "Do you know anything about the way ahead of us?"

"It's just that the land is very ordinary terrain." Alasert replied. "From the map, we will not lack water, but we may encounter areas where we cannot replenish the horses. But we brought enough baggage vehicles. Our logistics team is well-manned."

"Will this happen?... Our road looks short, but it is actually very difficult to walk. The road from the mining area looks long, and it is actually easy to walk on for a while, so the marching speed can be very fast?"

"Your Highness, you're stumping me." Arratht admitted frankly that he didn't know much about this. "But from the map, it seems that this is not the case."

One trap after another flashed through Ash Rufate's mind, but none of them seemed to meet the requirements of the Dark Elves. Because no matter which one, they were easily seen through and avoided. Relatively speaking, attacking Gray Star Port directly from the mining area is more worry-free and labor-saving and more effective.

He suddenly remembered the sword saint training he had received before. At that time, he had seen this technique, which turned the opponent's keen intuition into a disadvantage... Is it the same now?

No, different, that is fighting skills, this is war! He was thinking about it all, but the premonition of danger that was inexplicable in his heart could not be removed.

If it is a trap, what should this trap be? Prepare an army in the royal city? Perhaps this possibility is the greatest... But this trap seems stupid...

The sun has set in the west. At this moment, the day's light time is almost over. The mysterious and unpredictable darkness is about to envelop this world.

"Your Highness, do you want to go to the night today?" asked Araset. Because Ashu Ruffat had not issued a camping order yet, he thought he might have to go to the night today.

"Ah!" Ashu Rufate woke up from his sleepwalking state. "No, Araset, let the soldiers rest."

"Master, you don't have to care so much. You no longer need them... Although you don't plan to use them, there is no need..." Carrie suggested in his mind.

"No!" As a general, there should be a beginning and an end. I will bring them this land, so at least they should achieve their goals or send them on the way home. If I abandon them and leave..." He sighed softly. "Maybe even I will look down on myself."

"Okay, master. You are really strict with yourself." Carrie didn't look unhappy, "I think it's because of this that Master Qinxin will fall in love with you."

The camping ended after it was completely dark. Ashu Rufate chose an easy-to-defense position as the camp and set up the necessary simple fortifications. Although many of his subordinates thought it was redundant. There was no enemy around them that was enough to threaten them.

As soon as the work of building the camp was completed, Ashurufate, as usual, gathered several important generals together to discuss tomorrow's action plan.

"Your Highness, we are facing a small multiple-choice question tomorrow," Arathut reported. "We can have two left and right routes to avoid a rocky beach, but in fact, they are similar on either side, and there is no essential difference."

"How is the military?" Ashu Rufat asked Kay and Garce. "How are the morale of the soldiers?"

"The soldiers are in good condition." Gars' expression was quite happy. Ashu Rufat suddenly remembered that he had never seen Gars' expression so good. "Morning is strong. Those humans are a little scared, but we don't have to mind."

Ashrufa nodded. "I decided to retreat tomorrow." He said softly.

Garce's expression froze immediately. "Your Highness, do I know the reason for you to make this decision?" He said after a long time.

Not only Garce, but others, including a Dragon Prince, had a confused expression on his face and looked at Ashu Rufate.

"I think this is a trap," said Ashu Rufate.

"What kind of trap is it?"

"I don't know, but I think there must be a fraud! Our cousins ​​cannot make such a low-level mistake at such a critical moment. They must have had a conspiracy!"

"Your Highness, so, do you have no reliable evidence?"

Ashurufat sighed in his heart. "In fact, I have no evidence, but...my intuition tells me that this is a very dangerous trap. I believe everyone knows that at this moment, the Trujis must have known that our army has left the Grey Star Port... No, it should be said that the city we passed by today has already reported the movements of our army with magic communication. In this case, as long as the enemy has a little brain, they will come out to try to block our army. As long as we delay our army for a day, it is worth it to throw away their city."

"Truzzi is selfish, and their lords may not make such sacrifices." Garce replied.

"So, why are the main forces of the Truqi in the mining area so slow to act? Even because of a fatal mistake in their dispatch... they should come back to their senses and rush to the royal city desperately."

"It's indeed puzzling, but maybe this is their internal power struggle? Prince, what arrangement do you think Truzi will make?" Garles still refused to believe it. Most people are the same as him.

"I believe in the prince's intuition." Kay suddenly said. "We all rely on the strategies of His Highness. I think we can trust his intuition." Ashu Rufate looked around and found that Kay was the only one standing on his side.
