Chapter 1,248 Winning Too Many Times (Part 1)

Nikita is very angry now.

He is not angry about the steppe people invading his country.

He is angry about the blind command of their young emperor.

Nikita is now more and more aware of the temperament of the young emperor of their country.

Vasily has a problem, that is, he likes to interfere with the command of the troops.

In short, he likes to blindly command the troops.

The reason why the "Hammer" operation ended in a disastrous defeat three years ago was largely because of Vasily's blind command.

At that time, Dominic had realized that it was impossible to capture the Avalon Fortress by force alone, so he wrote to Vasily and asked Vasily to stop the operation.

At that time, Vasily did not listen to Dominic's request.

Not only did he not listen to Dominic's request, he also began to blindly command.

Regardless of the great logistical pressure, he forced the army to stay in the Aighar Corridor and fight a long battle of food and clothing with the Knights of Michael.

If Vasili had listened to Dominic's advice and not blindly commanded the troops at that time, there might not have been the tragic ending of the expeditionary army being annihilated and the "Hammer" operation ending in a disastrous defeat.

Two years ago, the Britannia Empire launched the "Aurora" offensive, and the joint army composed of the Knights of Michael and the Knights of Uriel attacked the homeland of their Holy Hiran Empire.

Then Vasili began to command the troops blindly again.

Without waiting for the troops to be assembled, he forced Nikita to lead the already mobilized troops to the west to resist the invading Britannia Army.

The mobilized troops will be sent to the western battlefield one by one.

Adding troops one by one is a taboo on the battlefield.

These troops are like fingers.

Only by clenching the fingers can we form a powerful fist and give the enemy a fierce blow.

Instead of clenching the fingers, separate the fingers and poke the enemy one by one - this will only break each finger that goes to poke the enemy.

At that time,

Nikita was very dissatisfied with Vasili's practice of adding troops one by one.

And now, Vasili began to command the troops blindly again.

Ignoring the long distance between the southwest front and the imperial capital, he forced Nikita to lead the entire army to rescue the imperial capital.

If Vasili was present, Nikita really wanted to question him loudly-Your Majesty, can't you even read a map? It's okay if you don't understand military affairs, can't you even understand a map?

Nikita felt that a child who had just learned to read could understand from the map how far the distance between the southwest front and the imperial capital was.

When Nikita led the entire army back to the imperial capital, the grassland people should have returned to the Far East grassland.

Since it is impossible to return to the imperial capital in time no matter what, the best solution should be for Nikita to continue to lead the troops to besiege the Mukhavets Fortress.

If he retreated now, all the efforts and sacrifices made to capture the Mukhavets Fortress would be in vain.

How could Nikita be willing to accept that all the efforts and sacrifices made in recent days to recapture the Mukhavets Fortress were ruined just because of this inexplicable order that could have been ignored?

Not only Nikita, but all the generals in the account felt quite unwilling.

"Commander..." a general gritted his teeth, "Are we really going to retreat like this..."

As soon as the general finished speaking, another general immediately echoed:

"In order to recapture the Mukhavets Fortress, we have paid more than 10,000 casualties... If we retreat like this, these people will be injured and die in vain...!"

Nikita understood all the truths these subordinates said.

Nikita clenched his naturally hanging hands into tight fists.

His teeth were also clenched tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, his clenched fists and clenched teeth finally relaxed gradually.

The hesitation on his face also dissipated along with the relaxed fists and teeth.

However, as the hesitation on his face faded, a few traces of dejection emerged, replacing the hesitation. 39

"... Withdraw the troops." Nikita said softly, "This is the order of His Majesty. No matter how unwilling we are, we cannot disobey."

"Commander..." As soon as Nikita finished speaking, several generals immediately showed anxiety and wanted to say something to Nikita.

But Nikita raised his hand to stop them.

"No need to say more."

"I know what you all want to say."

"As I said just now - withdraw the troops to support the imperial capital, this is the order of His Majesty."

"No matter what, we can't disobey."

"You all retreat and prepare to withdraw the troops."

"Tomorrow morning, move the camp back to the capital to fight the grassland people."

...

...

The generals left the tent with all kinds of emotions.

After the generals left the tent, only Nikita was left in the tent.

Nikita looked around at the empty space and then sighed.

He thought to himself:

- The southern Luolin Empire had a tyrant who lived a luxurious life and brought serious harm to the country.

- Although our Majesty did not live a luxurious life, his vain and self-willed character had brought no less harm to our country than the harm that Queen Bella brought to the Luolin Empire...

Thinking of this, Nikita couldn't help but worry about the future of his country.

"well……"

Another long sigh.

This long sigh came out of Nikita's throat uncontrollably.

This long sigh spread out in all directions, and then dissolved into the empty air around it.

…

…

The next morning——

Britannia Empire, northern border, Muhawicz Fortress.

As early as yesterday, Del and Hazel noticed something strange about the movements of Xilan's army outside the Great Wall.

The Hiran army outside the wall seemed to be preparing to retreat.

At first, Del and Hazel didn't believe their eyes.

Because the offensive and defensive battle centered on the Muhawicz Fortress was still in full swing, and no one lost to anyone.

At this moment when the fight was getting intense - it didn't look like it was time to retreat.

Del and Hazel, who couldn't believe that Xilan's army was actually retreating, had been closely observing Xilan's movements since yesterday.

The two watched helplessly as Xilan's army demolished one camp fortification after another.

I watched helplessly as one team after another, loaded with various types of carriages and horses, left the camp.

Finally, this morning, I watched helplessly as the Hiran army outside the Great Wall formed an orderly queue and slowly left the city of Muhavits Fortress.

Not only Del and Hazel, but all the generals in the fortress were stunned.

Everyone watched with confusion and excitement as the Hiran army gradually evacuated from the city of Muhawicz Fortress.

Until the last group of Hiran's troops left the sight of the Senne defenders, shouts and cheers that seemed to lift the entire sky broke out from the Mhavitz Fortress.
