Chapter 470: Ivey's Prestige

So after preparing the glycerin, Berry set off with a thousand men, compared to the Lannister's army, Harrenhal was closer to the dense forest, so Berry and the others could enter the dense forest at least half a day earlier.

In fact, if Li Lingyi could, he would like to do it himself, but now that the war is imminent, he, the patriarch of the family, must stay in the city. If nothing else, his existence is a shot in the arm. As long as the people in the city saw Li Ling's presence, they felt that they had the confidence to overcome.

Although it is a bit of a personality cult, to be honest, Li Lingyi still enjoys this feeling. It's a great feeling to be needed by a lot of people, but it also brings a lot of pressure because you have to be stronger than everyone because you're carrying the expectations of everybody.

As for weakness and hesitation, it is not something that a leader should show, only self-confidence, the self-confidence of everything under control, so as to infect the people under him.

So now, even if Li Lingyi is weak in his heart, he is still full of confidence when he walks in the city, and keeps inspiring the people he meets, so that they can cheer up and not be afraid, and firmly believe that the goddess of victory will favor us.

……

In the middle of the jungle, Berry has managed to lurk in with people.

"My lord, what should I do now?" asked his men, and Berry looked around, surrounded by trees, covering the sky and the sun, and many delicate flowers blooming everywhere, accompanied by the sound of birds like a forest dance.

If you burn this jungle, there will be no habitat for these birds......

When Berry thought of this, his heart suddenly became heavy, but when he saw the young people around him, remembered the kind people in the city, and remembered the trusting eyes when Li Ling handed over this matter to him, he was firm again.

"Everybody, spread out!" said Berry earnestly, "Spread the glycerin in an arc, and don't fall in our retreat, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Let's do it. ”

Berry gave the order, and the soldiers immediately dispersed and ran away, all carrying a small bag with some glycerin on their backs. It's not much, but it's enough to set the entire forest on fire.

Half an hour later, the soldiers began to gather in the middle, and the glycerin had been sprinkled all over, but not too far forward, otherwise it would be pointless if the Lannister scouts found out.

Once you've set it up, it's a matter of waiting.

The thousand-strong force lurked in the dense forest for about four hours before the Lannisters' vanguard troopers reached into the jungle.

I thought it was also to check if there was an ambush, but Berry and the others were hiding in the rear of the dense forest, so the scouts couldn't find it at all. In addition, the glycerin poured on the ground is covered with dry sticks, so even if you occasionally find the ground wet, you will definitely think that it is dew or something, and you will not care.

As a result, the scouts, who had not noticed anything unusual, retreated and reported the situation to Jaime, who was leading the army.

"There is no ambush?" Jaime was also a little surprised after listening to the report, in his opinion, it was unbelievable that this dense forest was not ambushed. If the positions are reversed, if he is Li Lingyi, he will definitely ambush an army here.

"I guess those homeless people are so scared that they don't even dare to get out of the city, right? and ambush haha!" said his generals, all showing a slight contempt.

"This attitude will kill you. The little devil didn't know when he came over, glanced at the general who had just spoken, and looked at James, "Ivy Crane is a smart guy, be careful. ”

"Yes. Jaime nodded, this time the two brothers went together to fight against the enemy, it should be said that it was the first time, so they were not used to each other. But after all, they are brothers, and they have a bit of a tacit understanding with each other.

"Everybody move forward carefully. Jaime gave the order, and the army began to march into the forest. The little devil stood in place, looking at the tall trees. The trees were naturally taller for him, but he instinctively felt a little resistant to entering, as if there was some danger brewing in the dense forest.

But now that the army is beginning to enter, he has no choice but to follow in. However, as he walked, he also looked around vigilantly, for fear that there were some hidden traps.

However, after walking for more than ten minutes, the army had already gone deep into the dense forest, and the little devil still didn't find anything. He thought to himself that maybe there really wasn't an ambush, but ...... Will Ivy Crane really give up such good ambush terrain?

Or is it ...... Kindness?

The little devil thought, suddenly stopped, he looked at the dry wood under his feet, frowned slightly, and squatted down to push it away. Suddenly, a moist sensation made his pupils shrink suddenly.

This is......

"My lord, they've gone deeper!"

A soldier approached Bane and said to him, "It's time for us to light the fire now!"

“…… Wait a minute. Bane frowned, he was lying in the grass now, watching through the gap at the approaching army of Lannisters, his hands already clenched.

"Your Excellency can't wait any longer!" the soldier was a little anxious, and sweat was already on his young face, "What if they find out and escape?"

"No, no..."

Bane frowned, he knew in his heart that it was time to light the fire, but listening to the chirping of birds and smelling the flowers, he really couldn't give this order.

"Wait another fifty meters!" Bane gritted his teeth, "They'll go fifty meters further and set it on fire!"

As soon as Bane finished speaking, suddenly, he saw the army in the distance actually in chaos!

"Glycerin?is this glycerin?!"

The little devil looked at the liquid in his hand in shock, and he almost immediately shouted, "Everyone retreat immediately! There is a !! of glycerin on the ground."

This shout startled the soldiers, especially Jaime, who immediately ordered everyone to retreat.

At this moment, Berry was still hesitating, but the young soldier beside him gritted his teeth, took the flint out of his pocket, and shouted, "Set fire now!!"

Ignoring Berry's shocked gaze, he ran a few steps forward and lit the ground with flint, and in an instant a line of fire suddenly stretched out, and the other soldiers also lit it, and the fire extended to the side of the Lannister army in the blink of an eye, surrounding it!

"You!"

Berry exclaimed, looking at the retreating soldier and didn't know what to say, but the latter gave him a cold look, "Lord Berry, I will report this matter to Patriarch Ivy truthfully when I go back!

"......" Berry opened his mouth when he heard this, but he couldn't speak, and it was then that he realized how much prestige Ivy Crane had in the hearts of these recruits. The soldiers would rather disobey the orders of his battle leader than disappoint Ivy Crane. That's really ...... It's kind of scary.
