Tales Of Magic Swordsman - Chapter 578

The two Gaia’s spies scoured the path towards the Regalia’s cities. After quite some distances from the outpost, the two Gaia’s soldiers met with Regalia’s soldiers.

The Regalia’s soldiers were still resting after quite a long way. When the two Gaia’s spies were in the vicinity, all of the Regalia’s soldiers quickly stood up. Even though they were resting, the Regalia’s soldiers were still vigilant towards their surroundings.

All of the Regalia’s soldiers quickly stood up and raised their weapons. Meanwhile, Gaia’s soldiers rapidly raised their hands and said, “We are friends. We came from the outpost!”

One of the Regalia’s soldiers walked forwards and said, “State your identity!”

The two Gaia soldiers quickly stated their fake identities. Previously, Smite had prepared fake identities to use. He chose a not-to-well-known Regalia’s soldiers.

The Regalia’s soldier who went forwards glanced at the two Gaia’s soldiers. Then, they scanned the two men from top to bottom.

The Regalia’s soldier was suspicious of the two men. However, since the two men had used a not-to-well-known Regalia’s soldiers’ identities, the Regalia’s soldier could not help but believe the two men’s words. Moreover, the two men had used equipment with Regalia’s soldiers’ marks.

Furthermore, the Regalia’s soldiers’ leader believed that the outpost would not have fallen yet. “What are your objectives for coming here? How is the situation at the outpost?”

“Report! We managed to fend off Gaia’s attack. And, the situation was pretty much under control right now. However, we don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Hence, the two of us were dispatched to look for reinforcements. And, here we are.”

“Is the situation that dire?” The Regalia’s soldiers’ leader frowned. He was surprised to hear the story.

The Gaia’s spies nodded their heads. “The enemy’s leader right now was so intelligent and different from the previous one. You must have heard that they had captured the son of Sparrow Family, right?”

The leader nodded his head. He had heard the news about it. “Fortunately, our outpost’s commander was not weak either. Using his strategy, he had managed to fend off the danger. However, he had sacrificed a lot of soldiers in the previous battle. So, he had an urgent need of reinforcements, or we would lose tomorrow’s battle.”

The leader understood what the soldier means. “Okay, we will get ready first. Then, we will depart as soon as possible. If we departed now, we should be able to arrive before the sunrise.”

The reinforcements not only contained soldiers, but there were also supplies and, most importantly, several siege weapons to be installed at the outpost. Hence, their speed was slower than normal.

The Gaia’s soldiers acted as if they were delighted with the leader’s response. Then, one of them said, “Can you tell us what did you bring? And, the number of soldiers in your group? Since the time was tight, we want to get back first and tell the commander about the reinforcement so he could plan a strategy.”

“Make sense!” The leader said. Then, he started to explain everything. Moreover, the leader even told the composition of the soldiers’ class within their group and the number of their supplies down to the number.

“Thank you! We will report it back as soon as possible. We hope you guys could arrive as soon as possible as well.” The two Gaia’s spies saluted the leader and immediately turned back and went back to the outpost.

After the two soldiers left, the leader quickly commanded everyone to prepare to depart. The Regalia’s camp was bustling with activity. Almost ten minutes later, the group started to march.

During this 10 minutes, the two Gaia’s soldiers had advanced quickly, and they had widened the distance between them and the Regalia’s soldiers. They knew the importance of this news. So, they didn’t dare to dilly dally and marched forward without resting.

Two hours later, the two Gaia’s soldiers arrived at the outpost. They immediately asked to meet with Smite and the other higher-ups. A meeting took place 5 minutes later.

The two spies reiterated every word that Regalia’s reinforcement leader had said. They didn’t even dare to reduce a word.

After hearing the information, Smite frowned. The reinforcement’s number was out of their expectation. Previously, they thought that there would only be 100 soldiers as reinforcements. However, the real reinforcements number consisted of 200 soldiers.

It was really fortunate they had captured the outpost. If not, there would be no chance for them to capture the outpost without asking for additional soldiers.

Currently, there were 75 Gaia’s soldiers inside the outpost. Meanwhile, their upcoming enemies would have 200 soldiers.

Even though their enemies were double their size, Smite was not worried. It was because they were on they had surprise element on their side. If they used it well, then they could reduce their enemy’s number by half without sacrificing their soldiers.

This was also the reason why Smite had dispatched the two soldiers and told them to urge the Regalia’s reinforcement to come to the outpost as soon as possible. They wanted to utilize this surprise element before the news about the fallen outpost reached Regalia’s side.

Gaia’s advantage was not only the surprise element. They also had the outpost as their advantages. They could utilize every arsenal at the outpost, including the siege weapon, to their fullest.

Even though there was only a little bit of mortar left for the siege weapons, but it was enough to surprise their enemies.

Smite started to discuss the defense strategy. Then, he began assigning everyone and gave several orders.

“Quick, move the siege weapons to the south!”

“Enhance the barricade to the south!”

Several commands could be heard, and every soldier was busy preparing for the upcoming battle.

Meanwhile, a group of 200 soldiers was walking towards the outpost. They had used their fastest speed. However, it was still slow since they had to take care of the supplies and the siege weapons.

Finally, the group could see the outpost’s shadow from far away. They were excited. However, they didn’t know the nightmare waiting for them.
