Chapter 1097: Chapter 309: Extraordinary Archery (10,000) (2)
Facing thousands of armored cavalry, there was not the slightest defensive strength!
Devant murmured, instructing Callum beside him.
"Go up and report, Manor Lord Devant Benitez is here for a face-to-face meeting."
When he said the words ’manor lord,’ Devant emphasized his tone.
Although feeling helpless inside, Callum could only respond.
"Yes, my lord!"
Among the people behind Master Devant, only he had had a face-to-face conversation with the captain of the opposing armored cavalry team.
He was the best choice to go forward and report!
Callum pulled the reins in his hands, driving the horse beneath him to speed towards the platoon of armored cavalry in front.
The 4,500 guards and peasants of the Benitez Manor, such a massive force.
Of course, Wesley and Earl were observing it.
Seeing a cavalryman gallop out from the massive crowd towards them.
Earl instinctively reminded Wesley beside him.
"Lord Wesley, the Benitez Manor is coming!"
Wesley’s cold gaze stared directly ahead.
He spoke in a deep voice, "I see it."
Earl raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wesley.
Earl could clearly feel the strong aura emanating from Wesley at this moment.
Without shifting his gaze, Wesley asked.
"Earl, do you know why Lord Master Lynn wanted me to bring you along?"
This question had been on Earl’s mind for a long time, and without hesitation, he responded.
"Lord Master Lynn wants Lord Wesley to teach and guide Earl in military strategy!"
Wesley gave a contemplative hum, "Yes, that’s the intention of the lord."
"What happens next might be beyond your expectations and hard to accept."
"But you must remember every word I say!"
Confusion appeared on Earl’s face.
Wesley’s gaze remained fixated on the dense figures ahead, speaking in a deep voice.
"In tactical deception, luring the enemy in deeply and ambushing, disguising, and misleading intelligence."
"In psychological warfare, city massacre intimidation and rumor spreading, breaking enemy morale."
"In alliances and betrayal, feigned surrender and inside-outside collaboration, stirring up allies and splitting the enemy."
"In information control, spies and intercepted secret messages, shaping public opinion and constructing legitimacy..."
"To win a war, all means can and must be used."
"Because in a war, only the victor gets to write it!"
Wesley’s words had concluded.
Yet they echoed like an ancient bell in Earl’s mind.
Especially the last sentence.
In a war, only the victor gets to write it!
Making Earl feel as though his ears were ringing.
Just as Earl was engrossed, Wesley’s almost hysterical shouting suddenly burst forth.
"Where is the armored cavalry?"
Earl immediately snapped back to his senses, responding aloud.
"Here!"
Behind Earl, all the armored cavalrymen on horseback responded loudly.
"Here! Here! Here!"
Riding his horse, galloping towards the cavalry platoon where Wesley and Earl were.
Callum heard the waves of loud responses like ocean waves, his mind instantly tense.
Instinctively pulling the reins in his hands to slow the horse’s gallop.
Simultaneously.
A strong sense of crisis filled Callum’s mind.
Not just Callum.
At least a dozen meters away, Devant, and the guards and peasants behind Devant.
All heard such noises.
In this already silent night.
The shouting responses echoed like thunder, resounding in the black night.
Wesley once again shouted.
"I, Wesley, in the name of Lord Lynn, in the name of the commander of this foreign war, order you!"
"I order you to charge at the enemy army ahead!"
Earl’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
To charge?
But...
Wasn’t Lord Wesley asking him to convey to the guard captain of Benitez Manor?
To have the guard captain inform the Manor Lord of Benitez to agree to a face-to-face meeting?
Now.
Lord Wesley ordered them to launch a charge at the guards and peasants of Benitez Manor?
Did Lord Wesley break his promise?
Moreover, he deceived him?
Callum, approaching the armored cavalry platoon.
Clearly heard every single word spoken by the commander.
Callum’s face was instantly filled with shock.
Finally, by now.
Callum finally understood.
Why would a commander with thousands of armored cavalry agree to Master Devant’s cooperation request, agreeing to face-to-face negotiations!
Deception!
This was a scheme against Benitez Manor.
Since Master Devant requested a meeting.
Then naturally, it required Devant himself to come.
To ensure his own safety, Devant, who personally came, would surely bring a large number of armed guards and peasants!
This fulfilled the purpose of luring the enemy out!
Without the manor mansion, without the moat, spiked pits, and chevaux de frise in front of the open plaza defensives.
In this vast, flat farmland.
The armored cavalry were invincible War Gods!
Callum almost frantically drove his mount towards the distant riding Devant.
Whether Master Devant heard the command given by that commander or not.
