The preset battlefield is in Blue City.

This is a not very tall city, an ordinary city in a county in the northern part of the Kingdom of Alto.

The city wall is only twelve meters high, which is already a very high wall for ordinary soldiers, but for elite soldiers, if there is a ladder or something that can be climbed, it only takes a few seconds.

Some of the residents in the city were evacuated to accommodate tens of thousands of troops.

Strictly speaking, Blue City is not suitable as a defensive stronghold city.

The city wall is not high and is a bit far from other defense nodes of the Kingdom of Alto. In the speculation of other nobles, this city at the forefront of the territory should be abandoned.

However, this is also one of the reasons why Augustine chose this city as the decisive battle. He wanted to use himself and the soldiers of the kingdom as bait to attract the army of the Ant Empire.

If Augustine looks for a stable fortress as a defensive city, then the Ant Empire is likely to divide its troops and part of them will besiege the army of the Kingdom of Alto.

The other troops passed through the fortress and headed towards the hinterland of the Kingdom of Alto. At that time, it was possible to burn, kill, loot, or cut off the logistics line of the fortress.

For the Ante Empire, the city of Blue, which was not easy to defend, was a good opportunity to wipe out the elite forces of the Kingdom of Alto. They would not miss this opportunity.

The not-so-high city wall was not important to Augustine, and his decisive point was not the defenders in the city.

On the periphery, the magic army led by Huo Ling was hiding in the dark. In addition to himself, there were some court mages. These mages arranged a hidden magic circle to hide the entire army.

...

"What? Augustine chose Blue City, and their entire army defended here?"

In the marching camp of the Ante Empire, a surprised voice sounded.

A middle-aged man in armor walked to the map. He looked at the location of Blue City and checked the information of the city.

"Are the scouts and intelligence sure that there are no mistakes?" This middle-aged man is the commander of the army of the Ante Empire this time.

He looked at the intelligence sent by the scouts, still a little bit unbelievable.

"My Lord Duke, the intelligence is correct. Both the scouts and the mages have confirmed that the army of the Alto Kingdom is in Blue City. They didn't even leave the city to deploy defenses." A general said on the side.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How could Augustine make such a stupid mistake?!" The Duke still didn't believe it.

"There is no need to defend Blue City at all. Why is he waiting for us here?"

The Duke has fought with Augustine several times. Because of the civil war in the Ante Empire, his strength was insufficient.

Although his troops would exceed Augustine every time, he failed twice in the three wars. Only once did he win the battle with a large advantage in troops, but the gains were not great.

This Duke's ability to command wars is also very strong. He doesn't believe that the opponent is Augustine who has defeated him twice.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with Augustine's body?" A general boldly guessed.

"What do you mean?" The Duke looked at him with a probing look.

The general continued to analyze: "Maybe Augustine is injured? Or is Augustine not the commander now?"

"Maybe... The whole army will advance to Blue City and be prepared. I always feel that things are not really that simple." After thinking about it, the Duke still issued an order to march.

In any case, Blue City is a point that cannot be avoided on the way to attack the Kingdom of Alto.

And the purpose of this attack on the Kingdom of Alto is to destroy their living forces and prepare for the conquest of the entire Kingdom of Alto later.

The Duke will not let go of Blue City, which is an easy point to attack, and instead attack those difficult fortresses.

...

"I can't believe that Augustine will actually hide in this small city with all his elite troops!" The army of the Ante Empire has arrived outside Blue City and set up camp here.

On a slope outside the camp, the Duke of Command is using the images cast by the mages to observe the entire Blue City.

Many houses in the city have been temporarily requisitioned, and now they are all occupied by ordinary soldiers.

The magic image is still moving, so that the Duke can see the situation in the city clearly. The one who presides over this image is a Sanctuary Mage from the Ant Empire.

The Ant Empire also has a court mage group loyal to the emperor, but the system of the Ant Empire is different from that of the Kingdom of Alto.

In the AnThe Magic Association has the largest number of mages in the Ante Empire, and the Magic Association has the vast majority of mages.

Although the Magic Association will also obey the emperor's orders, it cannot command the court mages as the emperor commands.

"It seems that they really want to fight a decisive battle with us in Blue City, but why is this? The city defense here..."

"Bang!"

"Damn it!"

Before the Duke finished speaking, the magic scene in front of him was destroyed because it was discovered by Xili.

This sudden scene scared everyone present.

Although they are all holy lands, destruction is always easier than construction. The magic scene on Ante's side belongs to construction. They need to cast a spell to arrange many lenses in the sky to detect the situation in Blue City.

And Xili in Blue City, he just belonged to destruction. After discovering the little action of the Ante Empire, he directly smashed it with a spell and destroyed all the arranged lenses.

"I always feel something is wrong... Come on, send the cavalry out to investigate. I want to know if there is anything strange within a hundred miles around!"

When the Duke turned around and left, he gave orders to the generals around him. As a commander with rich command experience, he always felt that there was a crisis lurking in the dark.

"Yes, Duke!" A general in armor behind him lowered his head and responded.

This is a family general of the Duke, responsible for commanding the cavalry in the army.

Cavalry is different from ordinary soldiers. Cavalry are elite, and each of them has the strength of the Black Iron Rank.

Soon, the general who returned to the barracks sent out a large number of cavalry. They advanced in all directions. They had no worries in the enemy's territory, just like riding a horse in their own back garden.

These cavalry were like a fishing net with a grid, checking back and forth around, as if they were going to spend a lot of effort to search out the enemies hiding in the dark.
