Jenkins also left the tent, surrounded and protected by his personal guards and several golems. His brow furrowed as he issued urgent orders, and the camp became bustling with activity.
"Oh no, they're coming from the east!" A scout ran up to Jenkins, his body covered in blood and stains.
"East? How is that possible? Isn't that our rear?" an officer asked in disbelief.
"I don't know either, but this time the enemy has a large number of people." The scout said breathlessly.
As if to confirm the other party's statement, a burst of shouting and killing sounds came from the back, and a group of soldiers wearing various armors and robes rushed towards the camp from the back. They held weapons and torches, constantly lighting fires and killing.
As this group of people moved, a large area of jungle started to burn. It was a clear and cool autumn season, so the flames spread very quickly.
Seeing this, Jenkins was so frightened that he had to send a large number of people to stop the other party from continuing to set fire.
While the camp was in chaos, with people shouting and running, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded in the jungle outside on the west side. While the airship and golem were putting out the fire, a group of cavalry crossed the open field in the night and headed straight for the camp on the edge of the jungle area.
When they approached the woods, they dismounted and, like the attacking troops in the rear, raised their weapons, lit torches, and burned and drove away the frightened soldiers.
Under attack from both sides, the Frost Rose camp became even more chaotic. Many soldiers were on the battlefield for the first time and their psychological quality was not good. As a result, many of them began to throw down their weapons and flee to the jungles on the north and south sides.
The golem army and airships that were originally relied upon were unable to exert their power for a while because of the need to put out fires, poor visibility, and the chaos at the scene that made it difficult to unify the troops. They could only watch as the more than 100,000 soldiers in the camp roared, trampled on each other, and ran in fear and panic.
On the Frost Alliance side, the weaknesses of the soldiers' weak will and poor discipline were fully exposed in this night attack. Although the more than 10,000 veterans around veteran Jenkins could still barely hold on, they still could not change the situation which was gradually sliding into the abyss.
Looking down from the night sky, on the dark earth, the narrow camp stretching for several miles was engulfed in flames, and the forest fire continued to spread to the surrounding area, with thick smoke filling the jungle.
Just when many generals were almost in despair, a clear and high-pitched voice suddenly sounded in the camp.
"quiet!"
"Anyone who shouts or flees will be killed without mercy!"
As the words fell, a jagged arc of crimson light swept across, cutting several soldiers who were shouting in panic into pieces. Blood splattered and sprinkled on the people around them, making people tremble with horror.
Many soldiers around were frightened on the spot and stopped talking.
Then, the red-haired figure, brandishing a crimson, blood-grooved longsword, swiftly ran through the camp, beheading the soldiers who were wandering and shouting. As if on command, the general's personal guards, who had been stationed in the center, also divided into teams, swords drawn, and swiftly ran through the camp, beheading the soldiers who were causing chaos.
These guards, clad in dark cyan cloaks, were all at Sequence 3 or higher, making it easy for them to slaughter the fleeing soldiers. Under such cold-blooded and brutal military orders, order finally returned to the camp. One by one, senior officers began directing their troops' defense and counterattack.
Tonight, I am still destined to have a sleepless night.
