Basil Jaak had heard that the Fire Hawk Legion's combat prowess wasn't too shabby. This time, twenty thousand against twenty thousand, despite being attacked from both sides, the basic fighting strength should still be there.
However, unexpectedly, the battle lasted just a few hours before the Fire Hawk Legion retreated in complete disarray. This made Basil Jaak feel uneasy; the Fire Hawk Legion likely has deception at play!
"General Cleveland, look, the battlefield is on our territory now. The Fire Hawk Legion has no options. But if we pursue them ten miles out, there's a forest, and that area is also the boundary between us and the Fire Hawk Legion. The terrain there is complex. If the Fire Hawk Legion ambushes there, we would suffer a devastating defeat!"
Basil Jaak pulled out a map and carefully analyzed it for Cleveland.
