Retreat, Who Is This Person (2)

"Convey my orders, everyone retreat!"

The soldiers who received this order had puzzled expressions. They were on the verge of capturing Feiguang City, so why suddenly call for a retreat?

However, military orders were absolute. Despite their confusion and disbelief, many soldiers began commanding their troops to withdraw.

The once bustling battlefield now felt deserted, leaving the Feiguang City defenders dumbfounded. Though they didn't know what had transpired, they couldn't help but cheer.

A high-ranking officer from the Bass Kingdom who had been commanding on the front lines hurried back. He saw General Russell sitting with a stern expression in his command seat and asked, "Marshal, why are we retreating when Feiguang City is about to fall?"

Russell remained silent, simply tossing a letter to the officer. Another officer picked up the letter and read it, his face turning pale.
