The next morning, the soldiers arrived at Aarhus Bridge.
This is a stone bridge about thirty meters long, with a garrison due to Albert's emphasis on trade and trade routes.
The soldiers immediately began placing large quantities of explosives on the bridge under the guidance of their officers, while Nikolai and Laine asked the garrison about the situation: "How is the battle at Oak Pass!"
No sooner had they spoken than the sound of hoofbeats came from afar. A human army of about seventy men galloped towards Aarhus Bridge, almost everyone wounded: "Mr. Nikolai! We can barely hold on, Oak Pass is about to fall!"
"What?!" Everyone was shocked and quickly inquired about the situation.
"The barbarians attacked relentlessly, ignoring their losses, and we resisted desperately, but there are simply too many barbarians!" The lead soldier wiped the sweat from his face: "We have no choice but to retreat, the enemy is overwhelming."
