Klotokatax’s unintentional words flashed through Plintor’s mind like a light. He suddenly widened his eyes and beat his thigh vigorously: “The mercenaries really don’t have the ability to come. Perform such a large-scale defeat, but a city-state in Greece often uses such tactics to win!"
Klotokataks, who had been in the staff, did not lack military knowledge. He blurted out: "You mean Spartans?!"
"Yes, it's the Spartans! We were fooled by Agsilius!" Priintoles said angrily and eagerly: "It's no wonder their left wing hasn't performed well so far, because They are not Spartan warriors at all, they are just wearing the costumes of Spartan warriors. The real Spartan warriors still confuse us with this little trick on the right-wing Agsilius, who they are most familiar with!"
Klotokatax understood that, he tried his best to suppress the tension in his heart, but the anxious mood still permeated the words: "Hurry... send the messenger, and immediately rush to inform... Keti... Commander Ktisus! Tell him that the opposite is Spartan fighters, they are bluffing! Don't pursue! Be careful of their counterattack!"
"We will also send out messengers to notify Trotiras and Oliver's legionnaires respectively, so that they can seize the great opportunities of the Spartan fighters' fraudulent defeat and disordered formation and increase their offensive strength. We found a breakthrough in the middle and right wing!"
Plintors’s suggestion was quickly adopted by Cloto Kataks and ordered to go down. At the same time, he gradually recovered his calmness and said with joy, "Master Plintors, thanks to your timely discovery The conspiracy of the Spartans! It now appears that as long as we respond promptly, the Spartans' fraudulent defeat will make the war situation more favorable for us, right?"
Clotokatax's words once again stunned Plintors: Is it worth it to take such a big risk but not get a good return with the ability of Agcilius?
He suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Bring the battle map again!"
Receiving the plank from the staff, Plintors' sharp eyes quickly swept across the map, and finally focused on the blue vertical bar in the corner, under which was written a small line: 4000- 5000 Tiger Asian Allied Forces.
Plintors finally understood where the anxiety in his heart came from: "Before we received news that Taigeya was attacked by the Spartan army and suffered heavy casualties. If not rescued, I am afraid that he will be captured... But in such a bad situation, can Tagya send so many soldiers to fight?!"
Klotokatax's heart was shocked, and he immediately had a terrible thought, and couldn't help but shiver: "You mean... the Tigers lied to us, they were with Sparta. Daren is actually acting, but those corpses..."
"His Royal Highness, we don't have time to investigate the details!" Plintors poked his hand at the map and said anxiously: "Now Tygeya's army appears behind the First Army, I am sure they will fight Together, the Spartan army fought back and forth against the First Army. This is the real conspiracy of Agsilius. We must rescue them immediately!"
"Ah...yes, rescue..." Croto Kataks was so nervous for a moment that his brain went blank when he thought of the possible consequences.
"Go and inform the 7th Army, immediately rush to the left and rescue the 1st Army!" Plintors eagerly issued the order on his behalf.
The messenger who received the order looked at Cloto Kataks subconsciously.
Klotokataks waved his hand and said eagerly: "Follow the order issued by the Chief of Staff of Plintors!"
The messenger turned his horse's head and ran to the rear.
Who knows that not long after, Taginus rushed over on horseback and asked: "We have not received the news that the Tagyas attacked the First Army. These are just your guesses, in case Tagya People have not rebelled at all. Wouldn't our Seventh Legion run in vain! If there are abnormalities in other places at this time, the Seventh Legion will not have time to rescue!"
"If you receive the news that the Tigers have attacked the First Army and go to the rescue, then it will be too late! If something goes wrong, I am willing to take responsibility!" Plintors responded without flinching.
"It was my order." Klotokatax looked at Taginos. Although the volume was not loud, he couldn't refuse: "Execute it now, Captain Taginos."
Tegretinos is not good to say more, stared at Plintors, and then hurriedly paid a military salute: "Yes, Commander-sir, may Hades bless you!"
Then he returned home from a horse, and he could hear his roar from far away: "Brothers, your chance to do meritorious service is here! Be energetic, follow me, and accelerate to the left wing of the army!"
"Roar! Roar!!! Roar!!!..."
Looking at the billowing dust and smoke raised by the soldiers of the 7th Legion, Cloto Kataks felt a little calm, and said seriously: "Master Printoles, I trust your judgment!"
"Thank your highness for your trust!" Plintors said with a wry smile, "I hope my judgment is wrong."

"Congratulations, Legion Commander, our First Legion has defeated the enemy's right flank!" The captain of the guard greeted Ketisus with excitement.
Ketisus was excited, but also a little puzzled: "Strange, before we thought the enemy on the opposite side was not easy. I am afraid that the First Army will encounter a hard fight, and there is no obvious sign. Victory will come suddenly. Now. Putris, what do you think is the reason for this?"
Ketisus is asking his staff officer.
"Leader, I think... you should inform the companies not to be busy chasing down the enemy, first control your soldiers, maintain the formation, and chase cautiously to prevent accidents!" Putris suggested cautiously.
Ketisus hesitated. After all, it was hard to defeat the powerful enemy. At this time, if he did not take advantage of the victory, but slowed down the pace of the pursuit, it would give the disintegrated enemy a respite, and the previous battle would be in vain. ...
At this time, the scouts of the First Army hurriedly rushed to report: "Report to the commander of the army, that Tiger's army is fast approaching us!"
"These shameless Tagyas! We didn't come out to help when we were fighting hard before, but now that the enemy is defeated, we ran out to take credit again! I pooh!" Ketisus took a sip and looked contemptuously. At the rear where the bugle has been ringing, through the gray dust and fog, he can already see the flag of Taigea and the black crowd more clearly, and the front of the team is quickly spreading to both sides... …
Ketisus, who has been on the battlefield for decades, suddenly felt a very bad feeling. He couldn't help but shout: "The Taigeya are too close to us! Go and tell them right away. , Tell them not to follow us, and go elsewhere to beat the Spartans!"
After the messenger took the order, Ketisus still murmured a little uneasy: "The situation is a bit wrong. Looking at this posture of the Taigya people, it’s not like picking up the bargain, but wanting to proceed. Charge..."
"Leader, you still have to be careful. Although Tygeya is already our ally, we don't know it at all, and we have never fought together." Putris reminded with some worry.
After listening to the staff officer’s words, Kettesus finally stopped hesitating, and immediately issued an order: "Notify the company at the back of the army to stop advancing immediately, line up backwards, and prepare for defense!"
Five or six messengers rode out at the same time and rushed forward to give orders to the company that was still running.
"Legislative commander, some soldiers are defending on the spot, and some soldiers are still chasing...In this way, the strength of our First Corps can be dispersed. It is better to stop the whole army from advancing!" Putris proposed again Suggest.
Ketisus did not expect that he would face such a difficult choice in the first battle when he became the commander of the legion: part of the defense and part of the pursuit can prevent danger and expand the results, but it will lead to the dispersion of troops. Big risk; and the entire legion stopped pursuing and defended on the spot. What if the Tigers were not malicious to the first legion? Then the victory you get can fly away, it's a pity...
This is one of the reasons why Ktisus has been reluctant to be the commander of the legion: it is too much trouble to make a choice!
But soon he didn't have to worry anymore, because he saw with his own eyes the messenger who stopped the Taigeya army suddenly turned over and fell off his horse, fell to the ground motionless, with a javelin stuck in his body.
"The Taigeya are the enemy! Immediately sound the bugle, and the whole army will stop advancing!" Ketisus shouted eagerly.
Originally, he and the staff officer led the guards, scouts, mountain reconnaissance squads, messenger squads, trumpeters squad... The command center of the first army will directly face the impact of the Taigeya army.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu the same time as the first legion's bugle sounded, the Taigeyaya also let out a loud roar, speeding up the advancement. At this time, they were no more than 200 meters away from the company behind the First Army.
The officers of these companies and detachments received the order of Ketisus, seized the time to gather some scattered soldiers, reorganize the queue, and where there is still time to form a unified line of defense, countless Taigeyas are like the tide. It rushed over and rushed into the first legion like a sieve, seeming to drown all the Dionian soldiers.
"Shield array defense!"
"Brothers, don't panic! Stick to the defense, our reinforcements will come soon!"
But in this chaos, the hysterical shouts of the first army team officers continued to sound, and the small phalanxes stood like rocks in the tidewater.
