Delrisen was riding forward with the winding column of troops, conversing with a staff officer from time to time, when he suddenly heard the distant rumble of cannons from ahead to the side.
The entire Prussian Army column immediately came to a halt, soldiers anxiously craning their necks to look around.
Delrisen's complexion also darkened. He had been extremely cautious all along the way, and even though he was marching on Prussian territory, he had still dispatched a large number of cavalry for reconnaissance.
Previously, all the hussars had reported that there was no abnormality ahead, so what was the meaning of this cannon fire?
He hurriedly ordered the troops to close ranks and form a defensive line.
Then he turned to the staff officer beside him and shouted, "Leon, send someone to find out what's happening!"
"Yes, General!"
