Chapitre 178: Battle for a crown (4)

Frederick pov: 

In the midst of the battlefield, a moment of eerie silence descended, contrasting sharply with the chaos that had reigned just moments before. The Sicilian cavalry, under the command of Frederick, keenly observed this shift in the enemy's behavior. It was a precarious moment, with uncertainty hanging in the air like a heavy fog. Frederick's mind raced, his instincts telling him that something was amiss.

As the enemy forces began their retreat, Frederick couldn't shake the feeling that this might be a calculated move—a tactical withdrawal to regroup and reorganize for a potential counterattack. The battlefield was a place where deception and strategy could shift the course of a battle in an instant.
