At the headquarters of the Koren Fortress, Ike was woken up by the Knight of Alfred,

Exhausted, Sir Ike said dissatisfiedly, "My dear lieutenant, you should know that there is a battle waiting for me tomorrow, so you had better have a good reason." ”

"Reinforcements, Twak reinforcements," Alfred looked extremely excited, "the soldiers on the lookout report that there is a large battle twenty miles to the south, and I think it must be Twak reinforcements." ”

"Oh?" Sir Ike was shocked and sleepy, he grabbed his military shoes and quickly put them on his feet, took the thick bearskin cloak handed over by the servant and draped it over his body, and said, "Send scouts, I need detailed information!"

At this moment, in the original southern camp of the barbarians, a fierce offensive and defensive battle was being staged.

A large group of cavalry led by Peidi successfully attacked the area and occupied the main position within half an hour, and by the time the barbarian reinforcements arrived, the barbarian soldiers in the camp had already been cleared.

Now, in the face of the Imperial army, if the barbarians want to retake this camp, they can only attack from the front.

Prince Nuliv was resolute, and when he learned that only a thousand men had captured his southern camp, he decisively ordered the reinforcements that had arrived in advance to attack, and he instructed his herald to tell the commander-in-chief at the front: "Do whatever it takes to regain control of the camp!"

At the same time, His Royal Highness also ordered the 10,000 infantry of the Chinese army battalion to march towards the Coron Fortress under the cover of night, and then stationed on the outer defense line of the Coron Fortress to prevent the imperial soldiers in the Coron Fortress from cooperating with the cavalry outside the fortress to flank the barbarian soldiers who were storming the southern camp.

...

Half an hour had passed since Pedi had hammered the two guard towers to death, and in that half-hour, the entire vicinity of the fortress of Koren had been resurrected like a sleeping beast, and countless sparks had spread over time, shouting and cursing one after another.

At this moment, in front of a 500-meter-long slope-type fortification directly north of the southern camp, groups of barbarian soldiers, assisted by their totem warriors, were frantically attacking a defensive line temporarily established by the imperial cavalry.

And Pedi himself is here to command!

"Quick, tung oil, burn along with those corpses!" Pei Di led a squadron of soldiers to fight at the forefront, and his troops tore a hole in the charging ranks of barbarian soldiers,

When he repelled the last barbarian soldier who wanted to storm the defensive line, he threw the tung oil he had brought with him, and then quickly retreated to his own line in the rear with his team.

"Throw the torch out!"

Pedi shouted at the top of his throat,

As he sounded, a series of sparks swirled and fluttered above his head, falling towards the place covered by tung oil.

"It's tung oil, retreat!" The veteran of the barbarian army immediately smelled the smell and desperately wanted to retreat,

But it's too late,

Moreover, the soldiers who charged from behind did not leave them a way to retreat at all.

The flames that suddenly burst out of the "pounce" were like demons emerging from the depths of the ground, and they instantly soared by two meters, immediately putting the irreversible barbarian soldiers in the sea of fire.

Even one or two Imperial soldiers who were slow to retreat were affected!

Suddenly, the heart-rending screams resounded in the entire night sky, and the sound made people's gums soften.

Pedi felt the scorching heat, the disgusting smell of burnt flesh, and, of course, the fragile life in the flames, all of which constantly reminded him that this was a war, a war to the death.

"What about the rest of the line?" asked Pedy as he asked the Webpo Knight next to him, also recovering his strength at this time.

"Just now when you were fighting, a small group of barbarian soldiers appeared on the high ground north of the camp, but fortunately they were found in time and were repelled by the Knight of Parn!"

"The highlands to the north?" Pedi thought back to the terrain here, lifted his pitch-black visor and said, "Let the magician team seal it off and tell them not to be afraid of wasting their mental power, they won't be needed for the next battle!"

As Pedi spoke, Knight Webo whispered to the herald, and when Pedi finished speaking, the herald walked away with a wave from Knight Webo.

Webo thought for a moment and then said, "A squadron left behind in the southern watchtower has sent back news that the soldiers scattered in the barbarian colonies south of the Koren fortress are gathering, and if measures are not taken, they will soon have at least one brigade of soldiers assembled. ”

"What about your suggestion?" Pedi didn't rush to order this time.

Wei Bo immediately said: "Let the scouts report to the main force in the rear, and one charge of theirs can wipe out this army!"

"Then let's do it. Pedi said as he took two steps forward and charged, for, with the intervention of the barbarian army, the fire had grown smaller,

A new round of attacks is about to begin!

Seeing this, the Knight of Webo also quickly returned to his own position.

A few minutes later, the brief calm was broken in an instant,

The battle continues!

Crazy shouts of killing resounded in the sky again.

Ten minutes later, Prince Nuliv personally arrived at the front line of the southern camp to supervise the battle, and the morale of the barbarian soldiers immediately soared, and the front also advanced a hundred meters, and Peidi led two squadrons of soldiers to temporarily retreat into the camp.

Twenty minutes later, the main force of the Imperial cavalry arrived,

After a charge, the ranks of barbarian soldiers attacking the forefront of the southern camp were suddenly crushed, resisting in vain the butcher's knives raised by the Imperial soldiers.

More than 20 minutes passed, and the battlefield returned to calm.

The main army of the barbarians did not organize troops to attack the southern camp.

After an hour of standoff, the barbarian army retreated like a tide under the orders of Prince Nulif, and the Imperial cavalry only symbolically sent a small group of scouts and did not pursue.

Since then,

After a day and night of hard work, Twak led 10,000 light cavalry to run for nearly 100 miles, sneak attack the southern camp of the barbarians, and after nearly two hours of fighting, break the barbarians' encirclement of the Coron fortress area.

After daybreak, the renovated Twak led 10,000 cavalry to the northern part of the Keren Fortress, and finally, stationed in the former Keren Fortress Horse Farm, confronting the barbarian army twenty miles away.

Pedi and his cousin entered the Fortress of Coron with their respective retinues, and took up the positions of Commander and Deputy Officer of the Fortress Headquarters of the Fortress of Coron, respectively.

...

On the afternoon of May 16, after a brief swearing-in by Pedi and Andy, Baron Pecford came to the headquarters of the fortress with his lieutenant,

The new supreme governor of the fortress, Pei Di, led a group of officials of the fortress to meet him at the headquarters, and half an hour later, everyone came to the headquarters conference room to discuss how to repel the barbarian army twenty miles away.

Two hours later, two messages arrived at the fortress with the help of the Blood Eagle.

While everyone was digesting the shock of these two news,

Baron Perkford's lieutenant came from the garrison and brought an encrypted letter, and when Perkford read the letter, he was silent for a few seconds and then looked at Pedi and said: "I have received a summons from the Grand Duke, and the ten thousand cavalry under my command may be withdrawn at any time..."

"Support the Anku Fortress?" asked the Fortress's Chief of Staff, Sir Ike.

Pei Kefu nodded, "Yes, there are two hundred and fifty thousand orcs there, and now the entire northern territory of the empire is under threat. ”

"It was the right decision!" Pedi wasn't surprised, "but according to the intelligence, the barbarians must have reached some kind of agreement with the orcs, and it would be more dangerous if the barbarians were left alone." ”

"So, we're going to get rid of the barbarians here as soon as possible. Baron Perkford said, staring at Pedy.

"How much time can you stay?" asked Sir Ike.

"It won't take more than five days at most, Anku Fortress is very dangerous now, and Karen Ling has made it clear that he will not support Anku Fortress for a single soldier!"

"Five days is too short to do anything!" Sir Ike frowned, "Now, the barbarians outside the fortress have little to lose, and the strength in our hands, even with the 10,000 cavalry in your hands, is impossible to fight the barbarians. ”

"Even if we have enough troops, there is nothing we can do, and the barbarians will immediately hide in the wild mountains as soon as they see that the situation is not right. The voice of the Knight of Alfred rang out at the end of the conference table, "If the barbarians can be truly destroyed, then there is no need for the Koren Fortress to exist!"

"Yes!" Pedy stared at Alfred at the end of the conference table with his left hand for a second, then withdrew his gaze, his left hand tapping lightly on the tabletop, the ruby wrench on his thumb coming to life in the light of the lights, he turned to look at Sir Ike, "Replenish the fortress soldiers as soon as possible..."

Speaking of this, Peidi glanced at his cousin, and then said: "According to the laws of the Empire, and the rights given to us by the Ministry of War, the Koren Fortress has the right to recruit soldiers everywhere!"

"That's true, but we simply don't have enough equipment to arm the recruits!" said Knight Alfred again.

"Duke Gna should be happy to help!" Peddy looked at Andy slightly, "write to your brother in Twak City, and ask him to help form a regular army of the Corps." ”

"This—" Andy was stunned, looking at his cousin strangely.

"Your father promised me, but you forgot? A regular corps only needs tens of thousands of gold coins!" Pei Di smiled faintly.

"I see!" Andy reacted.

The conversation between the two made Sir Ike's face change on one side, but he quickly returned to his original state, and the knight of Alfred on the other side also glanced at him.

"Baron Peckenford," Pedy changed his words at this time, "I suppose Duke Gerner has something to convey, right?"

"Yes. The baron glanced at everyone present, his face embarrassed, "But..."
