I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 68 The Night of Rebellion
#
Suya's plan was not complicated.
First, they fabricated the movement of two large camps to prevent the enemy from determining which direction they intended to break out in.
Then, let Dagonet lead his infantry regiments to launch a suicidal attack on the Seleucid army on the Cornish coast, pinning down all but the cavalry on the southeast flank.

Launching such a large-scale attack will inevitably attract enemy attention, prompting them to send investigators.
Meanwhile, the 1000 light cavalry that Suya had arranged in advance to fake the relocation of the main camp once again pretended to be attacking the Togus Legion's encampment, attracting the attention of the entire battlefield.

The enemy will come to this conclusion:
Sua Pendragon wanted to abandon his infantry regiments on the southern coast to tie down the Conqueror's army, while using his elite cavalry regiments as the spearhead to break out and escape.

Meanwhile, Sua himself led his cavalry regiment to the Conqueror King's army encampment on the northeast side, and, just as the enemy expected, feigned an attempt to break out directly from the central army encampment to the Plantagenet Plain.

Show the enemy his 'true purpose'!
This was used to lure away the cavalrymen stationed on the Cornish coast.

Finally, he immediately turned his horse around, just as he had done when he first escaped from the Conqueror King's army, and used his powerful mind to calculate the route of his cavalry reinforcements, thus 'passing by' them.

With 4000 elite cavalrymen joining together, they charged the Seleucid army, which had temporarily lost the support of its cavalry companions, breaking through the flank of the Macedonian phalanx. They then rejoined their main force, broke through the Cornish coast, and used the terrain advantage in an unnamed valley behind the coast to intercept the pursuing cavalry companions.
Finally, he led his troops to break through to the Golden Flower Plain, completing the breakout.

Of course, there were also some arrangements made on short notice.
For example, after Dagonit launched its attack, it discovered the scouts sent from the Conqueror King's central army to the Seleucid legion.

Arrange for Lukan to intercept and kill the enemy scouts sent from the central army to investigate the Cornish coast. Disguise Lukan as an enemy cavalryman and have him deceive Hector, thus reinforcing the point of diverting the cavalrymen away from the enemy.

Hmm, this seems a bit complicated.
But simply put,
This is a triangular impact framework.

This means launching attacks on the enemy from three directions at different times in stages to disrupt their judgment.

In psychology, when people are hesitant, they tend to trust the judgment they make after they have already made it.

Therefore, by presenting the true objective to the enemy and then revealing and reinforcing the 'false objective' that is subsequently established, the 'false objective' can be used to cover up the initial 'true objective'.

This is the best arrangement Sudden could make under the circumstances.

After all, his army really had no fighting power; if a battle broke out, it would completely collapse into a mess within a few hours.
He can only rely on deception to fight for a way to survive!
however,
When this rough plan, which seemed to involve a lot of work but ultimately amounted to nothing more than a gamble, was actually implemented...
Suya soon encountered an unexpected turn of events—

He led the Imperial Guard Cavalry Regiment to the hilly area northeast of Bern territory, adjacent to the Plantagenet Plain.
On the eve of launching an attack on the Conqueror King's army,

He saw 'himself'!
#
"No, Suya, why are you there?"

Meili stared blankly ahead, tugged at Suya's cloak beside her, and pointed to 5 kilometers ahead of the Conqueror King's army encampment.

at this time,

There stood a cavalry regiment that looked quite elite, all clad in silver plate armor and full-face helmets, and leading the regiment was a blond knight wearing standard British plate armor.

This knight, in terms of appearance, build, the white warhorse he rode, and the equipment and cloak he wore, was exactly the same as Sua when he killed Hammond in the Burn Territory!
The only difference is that
Suya's white horse had already been melted by him with his own Noble Phantasm, and the other party did not possess the instigator's aura that Suya could easily spot at a glance.

And at this moment,
Right before Sua and Meli's eyes, 'Sua Pendragon' drew his ceremonial sword from his waist, raised it high to the sky, its tip illuminated by the torches raised by the cavalry behind him and the blue banner with a red dragon, and his eyes gleamed as he looked at the encampment of the Conqueror's army before him, and shouted:
"Knights of Halicarnassus—"

"To restore the glory of the empire and to reclaim Hecatetonid, which vanished in the flames of war!"

"We are born in glory, and we will die in honor!"

"Now,"

"We will rewrite this corrupt nation!"

After all,

The blond knight spurred his horse, brandished his exquisitely crafted ceremonial sword, and led his five thousand cavalrymen in a charge toward the military camp in front of the Golden Flower Plain with unparalleled force!

And then,
About half a kilometer behind the Knights, on the back side of the hills,

The two imposters who came to investigate using illusion magic couldn't hold back any longer.

Seeing such a living 'fake fake', and without saying a word leading a British knightly order that looked even stronger than their group of fakes, charging into the Conqueror's army,
Suya stared blankly at the blond knight in front of her, looking completely bewildered.

No, man!
Who are you?! Why are you cosplaying as me?!
Why are you using all my words?!
At this moment, Melie turned her head with a blank look and asked, "Hallucinath? Isn't that a vassal state of Persia?"

At this point, realizing something was amiss, Melly glared at Suya.

"How could you, the King of Britain, say such a thing? You scoundrel!"

Suya covered her face, looking like she was about to cry: "How was I supposed to know?!" "And besides, it wasn't me at all!"

Halicarnassus, as Sua, who was well-versed in the history of the Macedonian Empire, knew, was a kingdom that the Macedonian Empire conquered during its conquest of Persia, and its king was Mausoleum.

According to official history, the one responsible for conquering this country was Philothas, the hero who commanded the conquering king's army at that time.

Now, why is this group of Halicarnassus cavalrymen disguising themselves and charging the Conqueror's army at this critical juncture? What are their identities? And what are they trying to achieve?
In official history,
In December 330 BC, Philotas was accused of knowing about a group of Macedonian soldiers plotting to kill Alexander but failing to report it.

Therefore, Philotas was subjected to severe torture by Alexander's generals and finally confessed to his crimes. Alexander then ordered that he and his father be executed.

But strangely enough, on his deathbed, Philothas told Alexander:

"My enemy's hatred for me has triumphed over your mercy!"

The truth behind this rebellion remains shrouded in mystery, and why Philothas did not report the soldiers' plot to Alexander is also a mystery.

But no matter what,
Seeing this, Suya suddenly realized—

His plan has clearly failed!

Despite the extensive foreplay and various techniques employed, the strategy of using psychological warfare tactics to deceive the enemy seems to have no major flaws.

but,
Facing such a group of military strategists who have conquered countless countries and are among the most elite in human history!

The enemy had anticipated his tactic of leading his cavalry in a feigned attack on the Conqueror's army to lure away his comrades' cavalry, and used this to their advantage, using his name to carry out their own plans!
The reason these cavalrymen were able to impersonate Sua, who killed Hammond, was not only due to magic and illusion techniques that existed in this world.
More importantly,

Even before Suya began to gather the defeated soldiers, his intelligence had already been completely leaked.

this means,

Even though Suya had realized this and had deliberately broken the plan down into smaller parts, assigning different tasks to different people, ensuring that no one in the entire army knew the full picture of the plan,
However, based solely on Suya's initial preparations, this group deduced what strategy Suya would use next, even down to the smallest detail of each step!
What Suya is facing at this moment—

They are the most terrifying group of monsters in the Macedonian Empire, who have left their mark on the entire history of mankind!

Parmenion, Philotas, Seleucus, Ptolemy
He attempted to use the wisdom of later generations to defeat the practices of his predecessors.
A complete failure!
Thinking of this, Suya clenched her fists with some resentment, but had to admit the truth.

And he swallowed the humiliation of being allowed to run wild for the time being because he still had some use.

He looked up at the Halicarnassus Cavalry, which had transformed into a line of fire in the night, charging straight into the vast camp before him and immediately igniting the night of rebellion.

Taking a deep breath,

Suya stood up from behind the hill and said in a deep voice:

"let's go!"

"Wasn't the plan to launch a feint attack on this camp to draw the Seleucid army's cavalry away?" Melly looked up at him, realizing their predicament, and asked somewhat dejectedly.

"Where can we go now?"

Suya remained silent for a moment, then suddenly revealed a sinister smile of relief:

"Fight to the death!"
