Bab 466: 464 Breakout (Down)_1

The night was deep.

Count Nicoll gazed in the direction of White Dew City in the distance and asked his deputy officer:

"How much longer will it take to reach White Dew City?"

"Sir, at our current pace, it will probably take about three more hours." The deputy officer thought for a moment, then asked, "Should we increase our marching speed?"

"No." Count Nicoll refused immediately, "White Dew City is home to a hundred thousand Pegasus Army troops. They have the advantage of the terrain and were well-prepared. There's no way the Blood Knight Army could break them in such a short time.

We don't need to rush, maintain formation and push forward steadily."

"Yes, sir!"

As they talked, there was suddenly a commotion from the left wing of the army. Count Nicoll, frowning, ordered:

"Halt the advance!"

Seeing this, the deputy officer cautiously reminded him, "Sir, it appears to be a small detachment of the Blood Knight Army harassing us, aiming to slow down our progress."
