Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 2)

Chapter 392: The Power of Friendship, Love, and Faith (3)

"There's too much fog."

"How about taking a break before moving again, Katya? This area is extremely foggy at dawn, so there is a possibility that enemies will ambush us, even more so if we can't see anything. Moreover, the soldiers are also exhausted..."

"No. We will continue to march. However, we will slow down a little. It's already getting late. Has it been confirmed in which direction the Eberian forces moved?"

"The reconnaissance unit is checking, but it's still in the air. There have been reports of large troops passing through Laios, but after the fog entered..."

"So, they're really heading towards the Republic."

"Yes. That's right."

"What about the Castle Rock front?"

"I haven't received any letters yet."

"We have to wait for good news to come. How about the other units?"

"It's the same. Currently, the retreat route and supply routes are being cut off due to the fact that the enemy's military force and exact location are not known. There is also information about dragon sightings."

"A dragon..."

I adjusted the sword on my waist.

'It's too quiet.'

The whole situation felt like it was being designed just as how I wanted it to be.

Although the ground we had to cover was wide, we managed to surround the enemy troops, and it seemed that they were actually feeling the pressure. Not only was their supply line cut, but the reinforcement forces also had no holes to enter from.

Troops deployed little by little from all over the eastern front strangled the enemy and kept their surroundings in check, so it was impossible for them to breathe.

The only thing the enemy could do was to move forward.

'Because their retreat is blocked.'

It wasn't because of the fog.

However, it had been so quiet that this forest, entirely covered with silence, was enough to make me feel strange anxiety.

It was convincing enough that the troops were roaming this area. No, it was obvious that it was to get rid of the soldiers that were pursuing them as much as possible.

With few traces left behind and combined with the fog, this place was the best place for them to hide.

However, that was all. It was only about buying some time when I thought about their inability to break through the tight siege.

I had the possibility of guerrilla warfare in mind, but I couldn't even find any signs of attempting to fight or reconnaissance.

'Strange.'

If I were to think about the hand that the enemy had, the fact that they moved like that was unfounded.

"Let's stop for a moment."

At that moment, a negative thought passed through my mind.

'No. The enemy is here.'

Information was constantly coming in that traces of small forces had been discovered.

"Is there anything bothering you?"

"Where is the closest ally?"

"It is confirmed that there is a troop led by Choon-wi in the vicinity. I know they are coming from the southwest, but..."
