At this moment, in the fortress, Arnold frowned and looked at a map on the wall. On this map, the terrain of the entire mountainous forest area and some places around the forest were suddenly marked.

The fortress they are now in is just on the edge of this mountain forest. The total area of ​​this mountain forest can be said to be much greater than the general concept. People who have not seen this map can never imagine it. Even those who have seen this map may find it difficult to believe such a situation.

However, Arnold is the only one who appears in front of this map. The place is empty. It seems that it existed as a large conference room for discussing and formulating a military plan. Later, it was not known why it gave up here.

But there was still a map left on this wall, and I don’t know what was going on. Arnold was indeed a little confused and could not make a decision.

Ross led the army and just came out of the base camp of the Liberty League. Arnold already knew that Arnold had always been a vanguard general. Before he became a vanguard general, he was also a soldier of the vanguard army and an officer in the vanguard army. Therefore, he attached great importance to this intelligence spy. Any vanguard army would definitely send detectives before it was dispatched, and he would understand the enemy's situation to facilitate himself and arrange and respond to it.

Therefore, although Arnold led his troops into this forest, while actively deploying the defense line, he still left a considerable number of spies outside the forest to inquire about the information from all parties, so that he could understand the dynamics of all parties as soon as possible and to make his next plan.

The movement outside the forest was known to Arnold within the first time. The location on the map that Arnold is now looking at is exactly the direction of Ross' attack.

If it were in the past, Arnold would have led his troops to fight an opponent's raid. One man-machine. In Arnold's eyes, 10,000 troops were not much. Arnold once led only thousands of horses and launched an attack on an enemy who was 10 times more than now, with a total of 30,000 troops.

In addition, there are several places where Ross and his team can be ambushed. Even if they are finally rushed into the mountains and forests, they will not dare to enter a certain distance.

But the current situation is very different from before. Arnold led the vanguard army and was supported by the Liberty League base camp behind him. In any case, he would not encounter a state of no support. Then, after the vanguard army soldiers were damaged, they would be effectively supplemented as soon as possible.

However, now

Under the circumstances, Arnold and the vanguard army had no strong backing behind him, and when fighting, he could not make any additional losses.

So this situation made Arnold find it difficult, not to say that it is difficult to win a battle, but to eliminate the enemy on the basis of trying to preserve his own strength.

During the battle, Arnold always wanted his side to suffer small losses, so he could not fight against the enemy. It can be said that Arnold now has several ways to defeat the 10,000 troops led by Ross halfway, but he could not avoid casualties on his side, so he could only let him act temporarily.

Under such circumstances, there is naturally nothing to say. He must try to avoid a head-on collision with Ross' army. In the current situation of no supplementary situation, every loss of the previous one will make Arnold heartbroken. And most importantly, he always feels that the more than 3,000 vanguard soldiers are mainly because of Arnold's own private affairs, and follow him to rebel from the Freedom Alliance, so he must be responsible for their lives and safety. If possible, repelling the enemy without any casualties is the best choice. After all, most of the people coming to this side are comrades who have fought side by side with him.

Although Arnold knew that he was a delusion, he still had some unrealistic fantasies about this matter in his heart. He could never overcome the hurdle in his heart and always had such a thought, wanting to solve this crisis without any casualties as much as possible.

However, on this map, there are many places where assault operations can be launched, but there is basically no terrain that can perfectly carry out an ambush, which makes the opponent surrender, and the troops in his hand are too small to block the opponent.

A situation like this is really a difficult thing to deal with. For Arnold, it is almost impossible to design a perfect plan, and this is also the reason why he is very distressed about this map. The key point is that if you want to solve the enemy, this situation may not be a very easy thing to deal with.

And those outside this hall, such as Lewis, don't know that Arnold is thinking about it here, but is still making defensive arrangements step by step.

Moreover, Lewis may be different from what Arnold imagined. In his opinion, if the enemy comes here, of course, he must destroy the enemy as much as possible. Since they drew their swords to their side and towards the vanguard, they have no longer been comrades who had fought together.

Moreover, in the League of Liberties, Lewis never regarded the soldiers in the vanguard army as his comrades, and did not regard the people in other teams as his own. In this regard, one is because every time the vanguard army fights, it is in the most difficult and most difficult position. On the other hand, this vanguard army is actually an army that has been excluded, doing the hardest and most tiring work, and is always in the most dangerous position. Not only are they excluded, but they are also often hostile and jealous.

Another aspect is that Lewis is also the object of being excluded. No matter how much Arnold made contributions on the battlefield, it is obvious to all. He is like a star in the army. So although he is excluded and suppressed in his position, there is still the most basic respect in normal times. At least no one dares to say anything in front of Arnold.

Moreover, those who can speak to Arnold are those with higher positions than him, such as Elder Sun, and even Arnold can show his face in public and ignore it, but Lewis is different. Among other troops, even those with lower positions than him, they dare to say some sarcastic words in front of him.

This situation was a very uncomfortable thing for him. Lewis could be said to be more severe than Arnold in all aspects, but the only thing he was better than Arnold was that there was an Arnold who helped him with the task. Arnold had to bear everything himself, and when Lewis really couldn't bear it, Arnold helped him with it. However, in daily life, Lewis was not as awesome as Arnold, so those who dared to speak rudely in front of Arnold were all higher than his position, but those who dared to talk nonsense to him in front of Lewis even had soldiers, so Lewis had no good feelings for other teams and thought differently from Arnold.

For example, Lewis now said to the soldiers responsible for placing this crossbow on the fortress, "Put it a little more. When they come, kill them and kill them a little more, and kill them for fear of them."

"Don't worry! Lewis, when they come, they will die completely."

Another feature of this vanguard army is that it is very common for soldiers and officers to call each other directly, unlike the relationship between superiors and subordinates in other teams, and is more like the relationship between this brother.
