Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, and sunlight filled the entire battlefield.

The remnants of the Prince Legion had been completely defeated, abandoning their weapons and equipment as they fled in all directions.

Time flowed by amidst tension and anxiety, each moment feeling like a year to Breyer, until a scout brought news: Soren had successfully pursued and annihilated the Prince Legion's rearguard and had now safely returned.

Hearing this news, Breyer finally felt his heart settle. He felt immense relief and pride, and also expressed sincere admiration for Soren's bravery and decisiveness. This thrilling pursuit battle had finally come to an end.

When Soren led the victorious troops back to the camp, the armies of the First and Third Legions raised their weapons, cheering for victory.

"Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince will surely win!"

Inside the First Legion's army tent, the atmosphere was heavy, and the light was dim, with only a faint candlelight illuminating the tactical map in the center.

A group of officers in armor sat around, the elites of the Third Legion, but all wore grave expressions.

In recent days, the Third Legion had faced unprecedented challenges in the battles of Devil's Canyon.

It was a narrow canyon terrain with steep cliffs on both sides. Devil's Canyon was aptly named, as if demons were indeed secretly hindering their progress.

In that fierce battle, the Third Legion paid a heavy price—twenty-seven thousand were killed, and fourteen thousand were wounded. Such losses were undoubtedly crippling for a legion.

Even more heartbreaking was the heavy casualties among the auxiliary troops assisting the main force, exceeding fifty thousand.

When they set out, the Third Legion was a large army composed of two hundred thousand elite soldiers, including a large number of auxiliary soldiers transformed from civilians. Now, however, only about one hundred thousand remained, and their combat power was greatly reduced.

Unlike the First Legion, the Third Legion was not composed of a mix of new and veteran soldiers, but entirely of experienced veterans.

These veterans had been tempered on the battlefield, and their combat power and coordination were far superior to that of the First Legion.

One hundred thousand elite veterans had once been their most prized asset, but now they had suffered such heavy losses.

Inside the tent, everyone's eyes were focused on Crown Prince Soren, his gaze firm and resolute.

He took a deep breath and broke the silence: "Gentlemen, now is not the time for us to dwell on the casualties. We must act as quickly as possible, rush to Mons Fortress, and recapture it from the enemy. This is our top priority at the moment."

As soon as Soren finished speaking, a chorus of agreement echoed within the tent.

Klement's mood was unusually complex. Since the start of the campaign, Crown Prince Soren had been like a wound-up clock, continuously pushing for rapid marches.

The cavalry's swift arrival on the battlefield and the delivery of a fatal blow to the enemy at a crucial moment were certainly due to the enemy general Prince's misjudgment of the cavalry's speed, but more so to Crown Prince Soren's ingenious tactical thinking.

Each action was as swift and unexpected as lightning, leaving the enemy with no chance to react.

"The current situation is already very clear," Prince Yaso stood up, obviously prepared and secretly instructed by Soren.

"The main force of the Northwest Army has retreated to Mons Fortress. Their Knights Templar have been completely annihilated in this battle, and the remaining cavalry is less than ten thousand. Combined with the garrison of Mons Fortress, their total force is less than one hundred and fifty thousand. They are now unable to effectively confront us on the main battlefield."

The generals began to whisper to each other. Although they had reservations about Yaso's proposal, no one dared to openly question it.

Seeing this, Yaso continued, "Therefore, I suggest that our main combat objective next is to wipe out those Northwest nobles who assisted Prince Corin."

As soon as these words came out, the generals in the tent frowned.

Obviously, they were not very enthusiastic about Yaso's proposal.

Although Yaso was a prince, he did not have high prestige in the army, and many generals were skeptical of him.

Considering that he had the support of Prince Soren behind him, no one dared to easily stand up and refute him.

Andre, as the head of the Knights Templar, reacted particularly quickly. He understood that if they were to wipe out the Northwest nobles' territories, then their Knights Templar would undoubtedly be the best choice.

After all, their horses had long legs and could quickly shuttle between various territories. Moreover, this was also a good opportunity to make a fortune, and they could reap a lot of benefits in the war.

At the same time, many infantry generals turned their attention to Klement.

In this battle, the Knights Templar and crossbow cavalry had almost taken all the credit.

If even the lucrative task of encircling and suppressing the Northwest nobles was handed over to the Knights Templar and cavalry, wouldn't their First Legion have made a trip for nothing?

arrive.

Such a result obviously made many people dissatisfied.

In the game's historical background, the detailed circumstances of Breyer's capture of Mons Fortress were only lightly touched upon, without much description.

This also made many details seem mysterious and vague. However, in the subsequent Mons Fortress-related plot, there was a subtle mention of an underground passage that could connect to Mons Fortress, which may have been an important clue to the victory in the initial battle.

The generals looked at each other, their shock beyond words.

He never expected that Minister Breyer would hide such an amazing secret.

This tunnel would undoubtedly become the key to conquering Mons Fortress, and might even change the entire war situation.

"That's great!" Korena's face flushed with excitement after hearing Minister Breyer's words, and she said eagerly: "If we can take Mons Fortress as quickly as possible, then the situation in the Northwest will rapidly deteriorate. When the other three allied armies learn of this news, they will inevitably be frightened by our decisiveness and swiftness, and perhaps they will retreat without a fight."
