The rising sun slowly rose behind the mountains to the east, and the golden dawn lit the sky, dyed the mountains yellow, and illuminated the earth.
Under the blue sky, the black Sheeran military formations were neatly arranged on the vast green field outside a hill.
Long spears pierced straight into the sky, armor, shields and weapons shone with thousands of cold lights in the dawn, and large flags whirling in the morning breeze.
Nikita stood on the lookout tower made of wood, looking at the hill not far away.
On the hill not far away, there were the flags of the Knights of Michael and the military flags of the Britannian Empire.
Armed by these flags, this hill is like a huge hedgehog.
The intersections of each mountain road in the hills are equipped with wooden fences and other fortifications.
Although these fortifications are made of wood, they cannot be underestimated.
If you rashly attack the hills that are now covered with fortifications, the casualties will only be high or low.
According to the scout's information, the vanguard of the Britannian Army's Eastern Route Army is now stationed on this hill.
After coming to this hill and seeing the surrounding terrain with one's own eyes, Nikita had to admire those who chose to set up their counterattack positions here.
This location was very good.
First of all, this hill is big enough to be more than 10,000 soldiers stationed on it.
Secondly, this hill is steep enough that if a blocking position is set up on it, the attacker will suffer a lot.
Finally - if the reinforcements of the Holy Hillan Empire want to continue to move westward, they must conquer this hill.
If you want to bypass this hill, it is not impossible.
But if we bypass this hill, the vanguard troops stationed on this hill are very likely to circumvent their backs, intercept their rear paths, and launch an attack behind them.
The commander who is a little smart will not let the enemy appear behind his butt, and there are more than 10,000 enemies.
In other words, if Nikita wants to continue moving forward, he must capture this hill and defeat the Eastern Route Army vanguard troops stationed on this hill.
Looking at the hills with flags not far away, Nikita couldn't help frowning and said in his heart:
——The current army is really led by Su Cheng...
After seeing the excellent blocking position chosen at this location, Nikita couldn't help but wonder in his heart again: Could it be that the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army's vanguard troops have been secretly replaced by Su Cheng?
In order to calm his emotions a little, Nikita turned his head and asked a scout who was standing in the tower with him:
"Did you really understand? Did you really understand the commander-in-chief of the enemy's vanguard troops really have not replaced people? Is it really the same Deng Jiaer?"
As soon as Nikita finished speaking, the scout hurriedly replied:
"Coach, we have verified it through multiple channels."
"No matter what channel it is, it shows the same result-the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army vanguard unit of the Britannian Army was not replaced, but Deng Jie O'Brien was still the commander-in-chief and Samuel Brooke was the deputy commander."
"As for Su Cheng himself stayed at Fuka City, commanding the main force of the Eastern Route Army to besiege Fuka City."
Nikita has heard of similar words many times these days.
The most important task Nikita gave the scouts these days was to find out whether the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army's vanguard troops had been replaced by Su Cheng.
The information sent back by the scouts these days is almost the same - the commander-in-chief of the Pioneer Force has not been replaced, and it is still under the command of Deng Jie O'Brien.
But no matter how many times Nikita listened to this information, he could not feel completely at ease.
After all, Su Cheng's reputation as "winning in every battle" has long been spread throughout every corner of the mainland.
Not to mention those ordinary generals and soldiers, even Nikita himself couldn't help but feel fear and cowardice when he heard the name Su Cheng.
Nikita sometimes guessed that if the commander-in-chief of the vanguard troops was really changed to Su Cheng, then as long as Su Cheng walked out of this hill and showed his face in front of them, there might be many generals and officers. The soldiers chose to surrender obediently because they were afraid of Su Cheng's reputation and strength.
Whenever Nikita doubts whether the vanguard troops have actually replaced the commander, he will ask the scouts this question, and then listen to the answers he has heard these days.
Only in this way can Nikita slightly suppress his fear of Su Cheng and relieve Su Cheng's emotions a little.
Once again, after confirming from the scout that the vanguard had not replaced the commander-in-chief, Nikita deflected his head back and continued to look at the hill not far away.
At this moment, a soldier dressed in a scout rode a fast horse from a distance to the downstairs where Nikita was located.
As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the building where Nikita was, the scout said in an excited tone:
"Chief Coach! Have new important information!"
As soon as the scout finished speaking, Nikita immediately waved to the scout.
“Come up!”
"yes."
After the scout climbed the tower with a flexible movement, he reported to Nikita in a tone that could not contain his excitement:
"Chief Coach! Someone saw Su Cheng appearing under the city of Fuka City with his own eyes!"
"What?"
Nikita's eyes were round and he asked the scout:
"Really?"
"The head coach, it's true! Many people have splashed Su Cheng under the city of Fuka City with their own eyes! I am also one of the people who saw Su Cheng appearing under the city of Fuka City with their own eyes!"
"Su Cheng wandered around the camp outside Fuka City, as if he was to check the construction of the camp."
"Su Cheng's hair and eyes are all black, and his facial features are also somewhat different from those of ordinary people, so the possibility of someone pretending to be Su Cheng or we are wrong is very low."
"Su Cheng is really still commanding the main force of the Eastern Route Army!" The scout emphasized again.
After hearing the scout's words, Nikita felt great peace in his heart.
This is the most reassuring thing he has ever heard these days.
What Nikita is most afraid of these days is that Su Cheng secretly replaced his position with Deng Jiaer, and the commander-in-chief of the Pioneer Force became Su Cheng.
Now someone finally witnessed Su Cheng appearing outside Fuka City with his own eyes, which shows that the scouts' previous information was true - the commander-in-chief of the Pioneer Force is really not Su Cheng now.
The most feared thing disappeared, which made Nikita feel at ease.
And the scout continued:
"Master, the lord of Fuka City asked me to bring you a message."
"The city lord of Fuka City hopes that you can come and rescue them as soon as possible. Fuka City can't hold on for long."
As soon as the scout finished speaking, Nikita waved his hand indifferently at this time in a good mood.
"I know, I know."
