Tribulation of Mysteries

Chapter 7:

The setting sun was as red as blood.

The battle during the day ended quickly.

Not many people died. In Aaron's opinion, it was more like a test.

This made him deeply understand that the Davis family was not prepared to defeat the Sotos family in a big battle. Perhaps it was because they would have to pay a huge price.

Perhaps they only wanted to delay the main force of the Sotos family.

Messy tents were piled up here and there. Open bonfires were everywhere. Many of the militiamen directly barbecued food and talked.

There were even people drinking and summoning prostitutes.

This kind of military discipline made Aaron speechless.

Although he knew that some fearless merchants and prostitutes moving with the army was a medieval war practice, he was still very dissatisfied with this level of discipline.

He returned to his team's camp and called for Eight-Fingers and the others. "I don't care about the others, but my team is not allowed to drink or have sex … But as compensation, there will be enough meat and bread! Do you understand? "

"Understood!"

Eight-Fingers replied loudly, but his expression immediately turned gloomy.

"Is the result of the casualties out?"

Seeing his expression, Aaron immediately guessed.

"Yes, Adam died in battle. The unlucky one was hit in the head by a flying rock. A few unlucky ones fell on the battlefield and were trampled to death by their own people … Other than that, only Sanchez and Beck suffered some minor injuries …" Eight-Fingers replied softly.

"This is war!"

Aaron took a deep breath. "Tonight, we will take turns to keep watch!"

He returned to his tent and took off his leather armor. Only then did he feel that his muscles were a little sore. Perhaps there were also friction and bruises.

Although the duration of the battle wasn't long, wielding such a heavy sword still put a heavy burden on him.

Other than that, there was also a kind of mental exhaustion and disgust.

He endured these and forced himself to eat some water and bread before falling asleep.

…

In the Dream World.

Aaron had completely given up on moving. Now, he had completely used the one mysterious unit that he produced every day in the dream to strengthen himself.

Although this strengthening could not be brought to the Outside World, he felt that it might be the same as before. There needed to be a limit.

Now that he was on the battlefield, he could not let go of any opportunity to become stronger!

For this reason, it was completely acceptable to delay the progress of exploring the Dream World!

Whoosh!

In the endless Red Sea, huge shadows occasionally swept across the surface of the sea.

Most of them had mutated to the point where Aaron could not recognize them at all. They emitted a terrifying and powerful aura.

Fortunately, they did not discover Aaron's presence..

"To this world, I'm still an observer, even if I can move …"

Aaron used his will to infuse today's energy into his body. He felt a slight coolness spreading in his consciousness, and then there was nothing else.

"Even if I strengthen myself in my dreams, I won't be able to see the effects for the time being … I wonder when will I be able to become extraordinary?"

He sighed and thought of something else. "The Davis Family's actions today are also very suspicious. They were clearly in a stalemate, and even had the upper hand, but they retreated directly. They seem to have a defensive attitude. It seems that they really intend to delay Sotos's main force!"

.....

The next few days of war were similar to what Aaron had imagined.

The Davis family kept fighting, but the intensity was obviously reduced. This gave the Sotos family the feeling that they could completely defeat the other party as long as they put in a little more effort.

Thus, the entire army was held back on the Black Crow Dune. They even kept urging the rear to send supplies and reinforcements.

Aaron sighed and walked into the tent.

"Father, I've chopped off three more heads today."

As soon as he walked in, he heard Colin's proud voice.

"Well done, my son. It seems that the unification of the Green Forest will be realized in my generation."

Theodore laughed heartily.

"Father."

Aaron sighed inwardly and stepped forward to salute.

"My good brother, I wonder how many spoils you've obtained?" Colin asked curiously.

Aaron had been learning tactics and commanding from Alfred these days. He did not have much desire for spoils and heads.

He ignored Colin and said directly to Theodore, "I think that the Davis family is deliberately showing weakness and preparing to carry out a conspiracy. We need to do something about it! "

"Pfft!"

Colin laughed, his expression full of undisguised disdain. "Conspiracy? On the battlefield, there's only the strong and the weak. Conspiracy is something only women and cowards use! "

"Colin!"

Theodore shouted at Colin, but his expression did not change much. It was obvious that he disapproved. "Colin is right about one thing. War depends on brute force. We have a rough understanding of the situation in Davis' territory. Being able to mobilize two thousand soldiers is almost the limit. They don't have the strength to carry out other schemes! Plus, you don't have any evidence!

"What we need to do now is to defeat them in one go and destroy their main force. We can't give them the chance to retreat to the castle and defend it to the death!"

Theodore had always wanted to completely defeat the Davis family and rule the entire Green Forest.

However, if the Davis family was given the chance to retreat to the castle, this goal would be difficult to achieve.

Now, although the family had fewer soldiers, it was obvious that the Sotos family's soldiers were of higher quality. Thus, they had an advantage on the battlefield.

Theodore also saw this point and would definitely not let go of this opportunity!

Seeing this, Aaron could only sigh.

Sometimes, smart people were more likely to fall for a scam. This was because the scammers directly laid out what they were thinking. Then, the smart people would make up for the scammers' flaws!

"Then … at least let me patrol the surroundings. Maybe I can find some evidence."

Aaron took a deep breath and said.

"Oh, my good brother, are you thinking of becoming a deserter?" Colin's eyes lit up as he immediately asked.

If he left the battlefield at this time, he would definitely be judged as a coward. In the Medieval Ages where strength was worshipped, it was a death sentence!

Aaron looked around and saw the disdainful gazes of the knights, but he did not care.

Even if the Davis family did not have a conspiracy, it did not matter. Surviving was the most important thing!

"…"

Theodore was silent for a while before finally saying, "Scram, take your team with you!"

Although he was disappointed in his son, he did not refuse.

"Thank you!"

Aaron straightened his back and bowed before walking out of the tent.
