At that time, God's Whip - Attila was trapped by the Marne River, and Aetius was estimated to still want to let him go.

Should Duncan pursue? Or not?

Aetius letting God's Whip escape might have many considerations, like using the Huns to balance the Barbarian Race, their private friendship, because the Western Goths had shown exceptional courage in the war, if they killed God's Whip, they would surely shock Europe and become uncontrollable, etc.

It's even possible that he wanted to nourish bandits to bolster his own strength, with God's Whip alive being more advantageous to him, etc.

But these are all reasons for Protector of the Realm - Aetius.

Duncan doesn't need to consider these.

All he needs to consider is one point, if God's Whip - Attila is greatly defeated, should he seize the opportunity to kill the opponent!

The Eighteen Lords launched a campaign against Dong Zhuo.

In the end, only Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately, he fell into an ambush and returned with a great defeat.

But this was also Cao Cao's battle for fame!

If Duncan pursues God's Whip, he will inevitably break with Protector of the Realm - Aetius.

He might even angrily denounce on the spot: "Inadequate wretch to discuss plans with!"

What happens next.

This historical event that influences history becomes his stage alone.

Protector of the Realm - Aetius will not help him at all, and Duncan's army, the British Legion, won't catch up, at most only a few hundred cavalry, can he succeed?

Will he, like Cao Cao, return greatly defeated?

This is something he needs to consider.

The most important decision Duncan needs to make is after the Battle of Sharon, should he be Yuan Shao or Cao Cao!

If he wants to be Cao Cao, he must not lose, and must achieve decisive victory in one battle!

Directly raid and execute God's Whip!

Even if it means completely breaking with Protector of the Realm - Aetius, Duncan will kill the legendary God's Whip, and if need be, retreat back to Great Britain to develop as the Empire has no way to deal with the British Province now.

This decision is tantamount to a gamble, but if successful, history will be rewritten from now on, and he will achieve immortal feats in human history!

In the original history, God's Whip suddenly died after marrying the Germanic bride.

Died rather strangely, not befitting the renown of God's Whip either.

If Duncan chooses to develop stealthily, he would be Yuan Shao, creating some fame, waiting for God's Whip to die naturally, but to carve out a domain, he must become Cao Cao, marching alone through the armies!

If this battle is successful, it will establish immortal martial exploits, becoming the number one human form above God's Whip - Attila's head, ascending to the throne of 'Immortal Heroic Spirit'!

In human history, he will always have a thick brushstroke.

"I'll have to decide at the last moment."

"Better yet, get some reinforcements, if I have two thousand cavalry, I'm quite confident I can execute God's Whip on the battlefield!"

Duncan had already made some plans in his heart.

Be Cao Cao!

If Aetius doesn't pursue, he will leave with the famous line in history, 'Inadequate wretch to discuss plans with!'

Not only does he want to use God's Whip's head to establish immortal feats, but also climb over Protector of the Realm - Aetius to become the last true Roman!

Duncan plans and then acts.

While the commanders of various forces were still discussing the upcoming decisive battle, he instructed Clegane, Brad, Edmundson, and others: "The upcoming decisive battle will be difficult."

"You have to conserve strength and stabilize the formation."

The first element is to conserve strength, don't pitch battles with the elite Hun forces.

He just had a few thousand men, if he fought them all, he'd have nothing left.

If the pursuit of God's Whip is needed later, his army must conserve strength.

The second element is to stabilize the formation, can't slack off the whole time, don't be greedy for merit, don't dread fighting, find a way to stabilize your defense line. The Hun army isn't so easy to break through the eagle banner elite's defense line.

Experts in confrontation, it's all about dirty tricks.

The central camp's arrangement had been discussed, Protector of the Realm - Aetius, as a veteran of hundreds of battles, surprisingly placed the exiled king of the Alans, along with many untrusted barbarian rabble, at the most important central army position.

Duncan thought his methods were wild, but Aetius's methods were even wilder!

Using a bunch of rabble as the central army.

This battle is destined not to be a conventional tactic, it might turn into a house swapping tactic, the Hun army could break through the empire's central army in one go, Aetius might have the Western Goth elite cavalry explode the enemy's left and right flanks, then reverse to encircle the enemy's back road.

"Damn it, it's all dirty tricks!"

Although striking with risky moves, using rabble as the central army is a bit too risky.

The Hun army on God's Whip - Attila's side is also a top-level strategic master, akin to Duncan, both belong to the 'military formations' school, having quite a keen grasp of the battle situation, he might have special arrangements, it's possible he could break through the empire coalition's line.

After knowing Protector of the Realm - Aetius's arrangements, Duncan had one thought in his mind, the British Legion needed to conserve some strength.

If this melee breaks out.

The final victory hand will be determined by who has a reserve force, the empire's central army will surely be completely defeated, the entire formation will be penetrated by the enemy, if it can encircle, or break the enemy's left and right flanks, there is a slight chance of victory, otherwise, it all depends on fate, blood sacrifice to the king, to see if the Western Goth elite cavalry's morale will run rampant.

"Is this the legendary general?"

"Feels pretty much the same as me."

"All gamblers on the battlefield, damn, everyone going all-in!" Duncan murmured looking at the strategy map.

If you win, you are a famous general.

If you lose, you're nothing.

Protector of the Realm - Aetius's strategic layout gave Duncan a good lesson, making him understand that even the legendary generals must be crazy gamblers, daring to go all-in at critical moments.

In the faint light of dawn.

Protector of the Realm - Aetius assembled the armies of various forces into the battlefield, not far away the Huns' army also set up formations, seemingly planning to make some responses.

Contrary to Duncan's imagined decisive battle.

Because both sides had a lot of barbarian troops with poor discipline, considering individually when forming up, constantly changing formations, a grand decisive battle was forcibly delayed until nearly three in the afternoon before both sides completely set up their formations.

No one dared to act rashly.

God's Whip - Attila led the elite Hun cavalry stationed in the central army, gazing into the distance at the empire's coalition, gave a passionate speech in front of the formation. Then he personally held an exaggerated battle bow, shot a golden shaft red-feathered arrow towards Aetius's coalition's direction.

The next second.

Changes in the wind and clouds, the earth trembles.

The Hun empire's army, moved all-out!
