First Entering the Continent Chapter 129: Night Attack of Thorns
Things have been forced to such an extent that a retreat is impossible.
Captain Richard secretly weighed the pros and cons, and the king's order was clear to resolve the turmoil in the Thornlands, followed by finding out the whereabouts of the little princess and the envoy and bringing them back.
If he attacks at this time, the other party has a strange group of dark magicians, and he is not sure that he will defeat the Thorn Alliance in one go.
The best decision these days is... Suspended.
"I must wait for His Royal Highness to reply on this matter, and if something happens to His Royal Highness the Princess, I can guarantee that! It will fill the whole city of thorns, all your relatives!, and you will be reduced to the most despicable slaves!" Richard threatened fiercely, stopped talking no more, and slowly left with his knights.
"Foolish thorny man, just wait, and from tomorrow this land will be dyed red," scolded Richard, who knew very well what the king wanted, and what was more important.
But now we can't start a war, we must first continue to exert pressure, wait for the follow-up steady stream of troops, and the other party's family funds have all moved out, and the only backup is only the 40,000 troops of the Swiss Don Kingdom, will it not be necessary?
As long as the pressure is high enough, don't believe that he won't surrender?
......
"You have done a good job, Sir Lint," Fnovic did not hesitate to praise the returning Sir Lint in front of everyone.
The crowd around him suddenly cast a look of envy from the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't think they could do what he had just said.
Everyone present knew that after this war, the Lint family would definitely become the number one minister in the Land of Thorns, and even the prince of this kingdom.
Because Sir Lint also has a beautiful daughter, and has an excellent talent for fighting spirit, at the age of seventeen, she is a third-order peak powerhouse, known as the flower of thorns, and she is likely to be the future princess.
"The Marquis has won the prize, and this is just what I should do as a person in the Land of Thorns," Lint sat down on his horse and bowed slightly.
Immediately everyone said a few more polite words, and the 20,000 troops returned to the camp in batches, and Ayton also let go of his nervousness, but saw Lan Keke's lonely and lonely figure until she slowly walked into the carriage.
I couldn't help but feel a little more uncomfortable in my heart, the fact that the head of the knight order did not withdraw immediately, which already showed that her father's status was not as important as this remote land...
That night, as the night began to hang, a lowly soldier who had been lost under Viscount North did not make much of a wave, and they all thought that this lucky fellow had escaped without a foothold in their makeshift camp.
However, this move reached the ears of Vnovic, and he only ordered Luo Fen, the commander of the garrison under his command, to strengthen the night patrol force.
It was supposed to be handed over to Dubai at this time, but Fnovic was obviously suspicious of him, which also made it easier for Ayton to lie alone in the big tent and regain his tired spirit.
Seem... He hadn't rested for two and a half days, and was busy with various assassination activities last night, and he also rescued Ravel and Glick and handed them over to the raccoon orcs.
By the way, he also met the barely able Turkeb, but he was already tortured to the point of madness, and the first thing he did when he left the dark dungeon was to seek revenge on the Ford family and kill all the Ford family.
Thinking of the identity of the Swiss Courier, Ayton was inspired to take revenge on him, and quietly brought him to the Marquis's Court, where he spent a lot of effort to avoid being discovered.
Then attach the magic of disguise to him, if all goes well, the Kingdom of Swisston should not help them anytime soon.
Rescuing the elven woman and Blue Coco will also make it easier.
According to the information, Birodis did not accompany the army on the expedition, and was still in a secret dungeon in Thorn City, guarded by a powerful sixth-order magician advisor hired by Fnovic, who was also the magic mentor of the young lord Simmel.
Even Ayton didn't know where he was being held, so he had to turn to the Rafflein's talent for help, so he had to do his best to help the orc gladiator escape.
"Ayton—" suddenly remembered the voice of the female undead in his mind.
"What's wrong.." Ayton didn't pay much attention to her, and his brain felt heavy as soon as he lay in bed, but he would never let himself fall asleep, and he still had action tonight.
"That man, what's his name?"
"That person?"
"It's just... It's the most richly dressed man, who seems to be yours... General" female undead seem to be unable to find a good adjective because of their lack of memory.
Ayton suddenly realized that this female undead would give him some information, when Ma Difen led the people into the Pingxi Mountains, he seemed to be looking for something, he raised a little spirit and responded, "Is it the young knight who rushed out of the battle alone?"
"No, no," the undead shook her illusory head, soul-like hair fluttering with her.
"It's when he comes back... The man who reported it, the big man..."
"Are you talking about Fonovich?" Ayton consciously entered the storage space, and looked at the female undead curiously, suddenly feeling that her eyebrows were somewhat similar to the marquis.
"Fnovic, is his name Vnovic?" the undead looked at Ayton quizzically.
"yes, I remember we've mentioned it many times before, he's a great nobleman of the land, and these soldiers are arguably his men," Ayton said with a large message, to see if she could regain some of her old memories.
"The great nobles... Aristocrat... Soldier, ahhhh The female undead's eyes suddenly turned red, and a terrible scream came out of her mouth, and Ayton couldn't help but cover her ears.
After a long time, Ayton let go of his covered ears and looked at her with a little expectation: "How is it?
The female undead bent down, her head clasped tightly in her hands, frantically trying to scratch something, her expression was very painful and hideous, and some fragments of memory rushed into her mind, but they were the most desperate and angry fragments, and she felt an urge to tear everything apart.
"Bastard... Kill, kill you... Kill you"
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Forget it, don't think about it" Ayton watched her nervously as she struggled and screamed, feeling a little more unbearable.
Although she had been stationed in the storage space and had not provided him with any useful information, Mei'er was still asleep, and she was the only person she could talk to, not wanting anything to happen to her.
After a long time, the screams of the female undead gradually subsided, replaced by hazy and mournful eyes, fortunately she was in an undead state, without tears.
Ayton sighed, revealing a look of comfort: "Let the painful things pass, don't think about it anymore." ”
The undead nodded weakly, still looking a little confused. It's not too early, Ayton didn't have the extra time to continue, his consciousness withdrew from the storage space, and suddenly a feeling of dizziness hit, Ayton quickly bit the tip of his tongue, and the pain made him sober up a little.
He walked out of the tent and looked at the guards arranged by the Marquis on both sides, and his eyes fell on the night sky where the stars had risen, and the summer night was still so bright.
In the first few days after coming out of Black Rock City, Ilully and Blue Coco had been asleep for a long time, and he and Ariel had been leaning on the carriage to watch the real moon quietly.
So... We must rescue Lan Coco and the woman and return to that valley!
Ayton once again cheered for himself in his heart...
"Is there any news from Lord Marquis?" there was supposed to be a meeting tonight, but the Marquis did not order Dubai to participate, and he would not have left him an inch.
It seems that his camouflage skills have been further strengthened...
"No, Lord Dubai," the off-the-books guard replied respectfully.
"I see, now I'm going to rest, don't bother me" Ayton looked tired and waved casually into the account.
......
The night gradually deepened, and the dark clouds slowly obscured the white moonlight.
With the sound of iron hooves galloping, three thousand elite knights galloped like a long snake on the flat path.
This is the only remaining cavalry team that the Thorns Coalition under Vonovich can put together, which is absolutely unrivaled in the Land of Thorns, but it is definitely a paper-mâché existence in a head-to-head confrontation with the 10,000 Bright Blue Knights.
Sir Lint, who was running at the front, sensed the coming of the dark clouds, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
After the afternoon of testing, it was already possible to determine that Yaolan would never give up this treasure land, but now there was no danger in front of them, and they could definitely crush them with their absolute superiority in strength, but they did not dare to take the initiative to attack because of the dignity of the royal family.
But when the opponent's strength reaches a certain limit, he will definitely choose to strike hard, and he will definitely lose at that time.
According to the 'internal response' of Count Rust Willy in the Glory Blue Army, because their Glory Blue Army was a rapid march, everyone brought their own food, and this information also coincided with the internal response that the Marquis had placed among the civilians.
And the convoy of grain from the south is about to pass not far in front of them, if they can be intercepted .... Needless to say, the significance of this is needless to say.
"Stop!" Seeing that the time was almost there, Lint gave an order, and more than 3,000 war horses slowed down one after another, but because of the patchwork, the pace was slightly disordered.
In fact, Lint was not very good at commanding cavalry, but the original commander of the cavalry of Gonell was nowhere to be found, so he had to be temporarily appointed by him, the glorious sir.
A moment later, the scout who had been scattered before came back and reported: "My lord, the transport force has been found in front of you, the distance is less than a thousand meters, and the other side is only escorted by a thousand regular legions."
Really, exactly a thousand? no more, no less. Lint secretly rejoiced in his heart, this number was enough for their three thousand cavalry to sweep them and then walk away, and at the same time, it could greatly suppress the morale of the other party.
Lint turned to look at his morale-filled subordinates, and shouted encouragement: "Continue to send scouts to investigate, and the rest of the people will spread out in a two-wing formation!
"For the Kingdom of Thorns!"
