324 Defeat

Outside the Vast Flame Kingdom.

Aite Mine.

Count Ottle was sitting in his tent, holding a pen in his hand and constantly writing something.

During this process, his eyes were fixed on the note on his table.

Not long after, a soldier walked into his tent. He first bowed respectfully before he began to report.

“Count Ottle, we have expanded the search area again, but we still haven’t found any trace of the other party.”

Count Ottle didn’t seem to be too surprised by these words.

After a slight nod, Count Ottle said, “I know, continue searching.”

The general cupped his hands at Count Ottle. Just as he was about to leave the tent, Count Ottle, who was in front of him, seemed to have thought of something. “Right, how’s the mining work at the resource point? Report the current situation.”

“Everything is going well at the moment, and everything is developing in the direction you’ve hoped for,” the soldier replied.

“In fact, the mining speed is even faster than we initially estimated.”

Hearing this, Count Ottle nodded with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his face.

This was the only good news he had heard since he began the mission that Duke Lincoln had given him.

Thinking of this, Count Ottle could not help but sigh.

“Those annoying flies are really well hidden.”

When the soldier in front of him heard this, he quickly said, “No matter how deep they hide, we will find them.”

“When that time comes, we can settle all our old and new scores!”

Hearing the soldiers’ comforting words, Count Ottle just waved his hand indifferently. 𝒇𝐫e𝑒𝔀𝒆𝚋no𝐯𝘦𝘭. c𝑜𝗺

“You may leave.”

The soldier saluted Count Ottle and quickly left the tent.

After the soldier left, Count Ottle took out another envelope.

After taking out a piece of paper from the side, Count Ottle began to write something on the table.

After a short while, the tent was suddenly opened.

Count Ottle’s pen stopped, and his brows slowly furrowed. An unhappy expression slowly appeared on his face.

“I’ve said it before, don’t enter my tent without my permission!”

As soon as Count Ottle’s voice fell, the soldiers in front of him wanted to explain something, but he had already started scolding them again.

“Now, get out!”

“Report to me and get my permission before you come in!”

The soldier’s face was very anxious at first, but after hearing Count Ottle’s words…

He could only bow obediently. After he turned around and left the tent, he reported again.

Count Ottle’s expression softened and he said, “Come in.”

When the soldiers came to him again, Count Ottle said, “What is it? Why are you so anxious?”

When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly said in an extremely anxious tone, “The resource point we’re currently mining has been attacked by a tribe with a huge army.”

“Based on the enemy’s stance, our resource point might fall within a few hours!”

“Bang!”

As soon as the soldier’s voice fell, Count Ottle suddenly stood up from his seat.

The chair he was sitting on suddenly fell backward, but he did not care about his gentlemanly elegance. His eyes were fixed on the soldiers in front of him, and he slowly said, “What did you just say?”

When the soldier heard this, he quickly repeated what he had just said.

Count Ottle took a deep breath and stared coldly at the soldiers in front of him. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?!”

“If you delay the military intelligence, your head won’t be enough to fall off!”

When the soldiers heard Count Ottle’s words, they opened their mouths and wanted to refute.

But after thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of reasoning with Count Ottle.

“I’m sorry! Count Ottle, it’s my fault.”

Count Ottle snorted and continued to ask, “What exactly is the situation? repeat it word for word.”

“About an hour ago,” the soldier quickly said, “a powerful Army suddenly rushed out of the forest next to the mine.”

“Their momentum is very fierce, and their combat power is also extremely strong. Before our defensive troops could even react, they had already been completely broken through by the enemy.”

“Until now, we haven’t been able to form an effective counterattack. The other party’s strength…he’s too powerful!”

As he said these words, the soldier’s expression even showed a hint of lingering fear.

After hearing his words, Count Ottle’s brows slowly furrowed, and the expression on his face became more serious.

“The other party is this powerful? Just what faction is publicly opposing the Vast Flame Kingdom?”

When the soldier heard this, a contemplative expression appeared on his face before he said with some uncertainty, “We can’t be sure what kind of force they are.”

“It’s just that the other party’s race is very mixed. There are Orcs, Druids, Tree Demons, and humans!”

“Oh, and the Elves!”

As soon as he heard the word ‘Elf’, Count Ottle’s eyelids twitched.

...

When he heard the word ‘Elf’, Count Ottle almost instinctively thought of the people he had been searching for.

He narrowed his eyes. “Is it them?”

The soldier naturally knew who Count Ottle was referring to, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head.

“Count Ottle, we can’t be sure about this, but our resource point is about to fall.”

The meaning of the soldier’s words was that Count Ottle had to quickly take charge of the situation.

Count Ottle understood what he meant. After taking a deep breath, he said, “I know.”

After that, Count Ottle quickly followed the messenger to the resource point.

As soon as he arrived at the resource point, Count Ottle also saw the scene of the battle.

After seeing the scene, Count Ottle’s calm expression suddenly turned into horror.

The enemy’s numbers did not have an overwhelming advantage over the forces he had deployed in the resource point.

In fact, at a glance, the two sides’ military strength was about the same.

...

However, the combat power displayed by the other party was simply a dimension-lowering attack compared to their troops.

The other party’s troops were complicated and had their own division of labor.

All of the troops were perfectly displaying their advantages, becoming one of the gears in the enemy’s war machine.
