Few people talk about Thomas' strategy in this pursuit battle in detail, because in their opinion, it was a natural thing. But real soldiers often praised it and regarded it as the best example of the combination of courage and wisdom. This pursuit battle consisted of a series of smaller battles, with Thomas winning eight battles and finally annihilated the Paros.

What directly led to the defeat of Paro's army was the second battle, which was a classic night attack. After General Rudolph's death, Paro's army was finally defeated by Thomas' night attack due to loose security, and his troops were trapped in a heavy siege and defeated. This great victory scared Paro's army. Later, it was even necessary that Thomas's flying snake flag be waved, and Paro's army immediately fled like a frightened grouse.

In fact, it was not until this battle that the world truly understood Thomas' ambition. The so-called "Card Time Tactics" was just a cover, at most it was a reserve strategy. Thomas' real goal was to rely on the army of less than 10,000 people in his hand to defeat Paro's entire army, recover the entire Casillos, and thus establish unprecedented great achievements. Before this, many people used ancient famous futures to compare Thomas, but it seemed that his ambition was to surpass all ancient people.

After searching through Thomas' past achievements, many people think that his characteristic is to be cautious, do more and do not lose his courage. But this time Thomas proved that he had all the excellent qualities needed for a great general, not just one or two. When he needed to be a fox, he was a fox; when he needed to be a lion, he was a lion; when he needed to be a hungry wolf, he was a hungry wolf. After the night attack, Thomas urged his subordinates without any mercy to force themselves to march at an astonishing speed, chasing the remnants of the Paro army. Each subsequent battle ended with his overwhelming advantage.

Thomas' army was quickly expanded. His victory had already shaken the entire Casillos. Many of the remnants of the Casillos rebels who had been defeated by the Paros and suppressed the Casillos rebels joined under the flying snake flag. More than ten days later, Thomas arrived at the outskirts of Fros, and the soldiers pointed directly at the trapped royal city. However, the Paros had long since no confidence in continuing to stick to it. They retreated early. In order to stop Thomas, they burned the city before leaving, and thousands of civilians died in the fire. This was a dangerous means. They did achieve the goal of delaying Thomas for two days, but from then on, the Casillos and Paro formed an irresolvable deep hatred...

——Excerpt from "History of the Stigia War"

"Urgent report! Urgent report! Urgent report!" The messenger, or messenger, waved the letter in his hand, and rushed to the deepest part of the palace. It was where His Majesty Lan Jier was ill and where the princess lived every day.

Now everyone in the city knows that His Majesty Lan Jier's physical discomfort is "discomfort". Of course, this "discomfort" is just a subtle statement, a word game between nobles - Lan Jier is sick and old and weak, and this time he is probably going to be spoiled by the God of Nature.

But then again, all this is awakened by everyone, so it did not cause any major trouble. When His Majesty Lan Jill chose to let Princess Irina take power instead of making a comeback, everyone knew that the king's health was not optimistic.

The messenger rushed to the core area before being blocked by several guards.

"The imperial meeting is being held inside, you must wait here."

A guard walked into the room and made a gesture when he came out. Several people searched the messenger and let him in.

The arrangement of the room was much simpler than people expected, with almost no furniture here. A large conference table, with seats owned by each minister beside the table. On the bookshelf next to it, there was a clerk standing next to it, recording without saying a word. A little further away was an inconsistent and slightly strange screen. Princess Irina and her five ministers (that is, those "temporary") looked at the messenger entering the main entrance together.

"What urgent report?" someone asked.

"Letter from General Thomas... General Thomas defeated Paro's main force at the city of Derek, killed General Paro's Duke Rudolph on the battlefield, and annihilated at least 60% of the enemy! He is now pursuing the remaining enemies."

The messenger said, presenting the letter. Princess Irina first read it, and then circulated it to her ministers.

A few coughs came from behind the screen. The messenger looked at the screen in surprise. Could it be that someone was hiding behind it? But all the great nobles who attended the imperial meeting, including Princess Irina, looked as usual, and seemed to have not heard the strange sound at all, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart.

The letter was finally passed to the "temporary" Foreign Minister Randwin. When others received the letter, they were mostly surprised and joy mixed with joy, and when Randwin started reading, his fingers began to tremble.

"...The troops suffered a lot of losses, but the soldiers were brave enough... Give up Derek... and pursue Paro's defeated army..." He whispered a few words, then wiped his eyes, as if he didn't believe everything he saw.

"Your Highness, this letter may be fake!" Randwin said suddenly.

"Fake it? But there is indeed Thomas' seal on it! And look at the attached documents... that is the list of knights enthroned by Thomas. Several of them are militia... Only Thomas will do this, right?"

"But this letter wrote an impossible thing. Thomas actually defeated Paro's main force in the defensive battle in Derek, and killed the enemy commander, and is still pursuing now? Please do not forget the strategy that General Thomas told here. I think this is probably the trick of the Paro people. They may...may...seize Lord Thomas's...seal!" Landwin tried his best to resist.

But his words were not recognized by others. Princess Irina took the letter from Landwin's hands.

"If it was the Paro people's plan, then why did they do this?" the princess asked gently.

"Maybe it was to stop us from reinforcing Thomas..."

"We cannot reinforce Thomas now! Unless we send all the Pegasus Knights," someone said in a mocking tone.

"Or to let us relax our guard so that they can launch a raid."

"Where did they raid?"

"Anyway, this shouldn't be true... Everyone, please note, this is not Thomas' handwriting!"

"Duke, have you not finished reading the letter? General Thomas was injured, so this letter was written by his subordinates."

"I don't believe it's true anyway!" Randwin jumped up and roared loudly. "Thomas cannot..."

"Sir, I think you need to go out and calm down for a while." Irina said suddenly. Randwin was stunned and motionless. A few seconds later, it was not a joke that he read this sentence from Irina's eyes. He hesitated, not knowing what he should do.

"Guard! Duke Landwin is tired, let him go back to the room to rest first." The other person greeted outside. The two guards responded. They looked at Princess Irina first, and after getting a positive answer from the princess's face, they each helped Landwin out of the room.

"Our General Thomas is really troublesome. He enthroned so many knights in one go. Perhaps all the surviving trainee knights were promoted to knights. There were also a few militias. Their territory problems would cause us a headache." Seeing Randwin leave, the others smiled tacitly.

"Your Highness, you have won this war. Even if you hold a celebration parade right now," a minister stood up and said to the princess.

"Notify the front line immediately! Let the soldiers be happy too." Someone suggested.

"General Thomas...is really powerful, he is still stronger!"

...

"General Thomas, he is really powerful, he is still strong!"

In fact, more than 20 days ago, someone had already made such praise. It was not someone else who was praised, but Luke. Luke was rumoring tone and turn at the secret letter in his hand. "First, he had a one-on-one single fight, and then defeated Paro's army in one fell swoop in the battle to defend the city of many people, killed Rudolph, and finally he decisively gave up Derek City and pursued the whole army! Our General Thomas is indeed the style of a general, you should learn more."

That's it, but there was no trace of emotion or admiration in Ruk's expression.

"What should we do, uncle? Now the Paro people have been defeated by Thomas..." Ryan walked around anxiously in the room. The Paro people are gone, and now the one who is blocking him is Thomas!

They are now in the Governor's Mansion in a small town. The city is not too far from Derek Castle, so they get the end of this siege.

He stabbed Thomas! Thomas would definitely not forgive him... Oh, damn it! It is better to fight anyone than Thomas! That old man... I don't know how many unfortunate troops dared to stand in front of him. The mantis arm was trying to stop him, but in the end he turned them into a small text in the historical record.

Ryan knew very well that if he fought against Thomas, he would face a war that could not be won. A considerable number of Casillos' lords would not be willing to follow him, and even immediately turned against Thomas. Even if such a thing did not happen, he would definitely not be able to defeat Thomas on the battlefield with real swords and guns. Ryan knew this.

"Nothing to do. Nephew, has your intention changed?"

"What do you think?"

"Of course it's about your plan to marry the princess!" Luke asked as if nothing had happened.

"Uncle, how do we marry the princess now? Thomas won! He destroyed the Paro people! Even if it has not been eliminated yet, it is not much less! When we finish packing up the Paro people, we turn around and find my betrayal, then we..."

"Haha...hahaha..." Ruke suddenly burst into laughter. "Dear nephew, don't worry about this issue for now. I ask you, why do we fight against Thomas? Since we can't win - as you said, Thomas can pinch us to death with two fingers - then why fight him?"
