"Drive! Drive!"

Under the cover of night, a team of cavalrymen came along a path straight to the camp where Halson's troops were located. Inside the camp, the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Halson had brought back the latest intelligence.

"Sir, the Yan people have placed their sentry posts so far away from Pariston, which will allow them to discover our next actions."

"And now, I think they already know we are coming." The scout said solemnly.

After hearing this, Halson Zeng raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "So what? If they find us, we have to retreat?"

The scout shook his head quickly. "That's not what I meant, sir. It's just that this will allow them to see our movements clearly. You know, there is no undulating terrain from here to Pariston that can allow us to hide."

Halson waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't care, and General Saski won't care either."

"There is only one important thing, and that is how many soldiers the Yan people have stationed in Pariston. This is the key. We need to find out their strength. If there are only a few thousand people, then we can just kill them tonight."

"Yes, sir, then we have to increase the reconnaissance distance."

Harson nodded and said, "Of course, but before that, we still have to..."

Before he could finish his words, a soldier came up to report new information, which was delivered by the communications soldier sent by Philie.

After hearing this information, Harson raised his lips and said with a smile: "Yes, this is good news."

"It seems that the Yan people will not have enough time to split up and leave Pariston today."

"No, that's not right. It's not that it's too late. It's that there are not enough troops for them to take risky actions."

"That's why they just stayed in Pariston after coming down the mountain and didn't take any further action."

After he finished speaking, several cavalry generals beside him nodded in agreement.

"So when will his troops return?" Halson asked again.

"General Phili is worried that the Yan people may set the time of dispatching troops tomorrow, so he said that we need to continue guarding the Mithras intersection. That is the most important section of the road. Even if the Yan people transfer from other routes, they can respond in time to intercept them." The signalman replied.

Halson nodded slightly: "Well, that's fine, he is always careful."

"But I don't think this possibility is high. The Yan people have already lost this opportunity. If we destroy their base, they will not be able to pose a continuous threat."

Having said this, Harson turned his head and chuckled to the officers beside him:

"It seems that things are not going too badly, and we are not too late. The Yan people are still in Pariston."

"It seems that this battle is not complicated. We just need to defeat the Yan people stationed in Pariston."

"Yes, sir, our army seems to have a certain advantage in the current situation." An officer responded.

Harson smiled and said:

"Of course, we have sufficient troops, and they are a composite force. Although the Yan people currently occupy Pariston, it is just a small town at the foot of the mountain. It doesn't have any decent city defenses. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to capture it."

At this point, he raised his eyebrows and said, "But if we let them withdraw, it will be a bit troublesome."

"Yes, sir. Pariston has Enzos behind him. If the Yan people abandon their position and return to the mountains, we will not be able to pursue them further."

Harson stroked his chin and said, "It seems that we have to dispatch two light cavalry units. When the battle begins, let them launch a quick flank attack from the north and south directions and quickly go around behind Pariston."

"If all goes well..."

At this point, an officer took over and said, "Surround Pariston and annihilate all the Yan people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "snap" sound, and it was Halson who snapped his fingers:

"Luffy, I hope your words will come true, haha."

Following Halson's hearty laughter, the other officers also laughed softly, and a moment later, the signalman sent from the main force brought Saski's order.

"Increase the intensity of investigation! When necessary, we can take radical actions to obtain intelligence!"

"With the way you guys are doing this, it will take us a week to get into Pariston!"

The messenger who came to deliver the message had an unpleasant expression on his face, and then he said, "I'm sorry, sir, this is what General Saski said, and he told me that I must convey it to you word for word."

But Harson didn't care at all. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I got it. I will get enough valuable intelligence before General Saski comes."

After that, he turned his head and said to a cavalry lieutenant colonel: "Megan, you heard it, increase the intensity and send some deterrence to the Yan people!"

"Yes, sir. But...will this make the Yan people choose to evacuate Pariston?" Megan frowned.

Harson shook his head.

"Does he know that there is a large force behind us? Moreover, do you think they will go back in disgrace without fighting with us after they get down the mountain?"

"Then you underestimate the Yan people. Although I have always believed that they have few troops, I have never underestimated their courage and combat capabilities."

"You have to know that this is the first time these guys have come to our country, but they have already caused us such severe trauma. It is obvious that they are a tough bunch. If we don't hurt them, they will never give up the positions they have captured easily."

When these words were spoken, everyone was in awe.

And Harson continued with a deep look in his eyes: "No matter what, we must win the next battle. Of course, this may only be a small victory, but we must turn it into a big victory."

"We need a pretty good number of enemies killed. Do I need to explain this?"

Everyone nodded silently. They all knew that not only Emperor von Palen in Salvia needed a resounding victory report, but the people of the empire also needed a great victory to boost their spirits.

Then, under Harrison's orders, Megan led the light cavalry to Pariston. Shortly thereafter, the sentries arranged outside by Qin Ze began to evacuate one after another.

By 7:30 in the evening, Saski, who had been rushing all the way, led the main force to reunite with Halson.

The meeting lasted only a dozen minutes. Just as Saski was holding a meeting with the officers, the signalman hurriedly reported:

"Sir, our frontline troops have engaged in a firefight with the enemy!"
