In this battle, there was no unicorn knight as a sharp knife, and no church priest as a nanny, Hathaway's entourage was just routine defense.

Despite this, Hathaway was not prepared to ask for help from the Church of Nature...... This has nothing to do with backbone or anything, the army led by the Cordillera has undergone high-intensity training and has also experienced the baptism of war in different ways, and if it can't cope with this sudden battle, then the point of saving zài is really not much.

This is the Black Forest and the gateway to the Cordillera Territory. If the Black Forest Fortress is a gate to the Cordillera, then Panlong Ridge is the threshold behind the gate. No invader can get through here, and this is the bottom line of the enemy's invasion, because ...... Behind this mountain range is the home of the warriors!

The soldiers of the city defense army unanimously lined up in a neat formation on the side of Panlong Ridge facing the jungle. The hoplites removed the long-abandoned armor from their knapsacks, the quartermaster dragged dozens of wagons, and the warriors of the bow and arrow phalanx waited in long lines to receive the war resources to stop the enemy. The ranks of spearmen, swordsmen, shieldmen, chainhookers, and spearmen had not yet been assembled, and these warriors were given several tasks, cutting down trees to make spiky fences to block cavalry, and creating traps and planting fires near the plains of Panlong Ridge. In short, the fighters of the fighting arms are all busy, and even the Lord Guard has joined in this preparation event.

Michael. Captain Rodin is a very smart fellow, and his mind is much more active than his tactics! There is an unidentified force hiding in the forest with amazing combat effectiveness, and if it is confirmed that this is a secret raid by the Hulk, then ...... Isn't there a great opportunity for promotion?

The petty officer enlightened his soldier brothers in the most cordial words, these soldiers, who had not long been officially part of the city defense army, had already suffered enough in the march of the past few days, but since Big Brother Rodin had ordered them to brace themselves and prepare for battle, there was nothing more to say! They did their military service for this day. The infantry soldiers of the city defense army began to build lookouts, began to dig trenches, and dug communication tunnels, believing that they would turn Panlong Ridge into a strong pillbox before the enemy arrived!

"Corick! How are you? "Barthes. As soon as Willy entered, he threw himself on the side of the bed, as if it was his son who had been wounded.

"Lord Archon ......"

Corick burst into tears...... But please forgive him, he has been told that out of the hundred scouts, he is the only one who managed to break through, and the rest of his comrades did not make it out of the dark forest.

"Corick! Cricket! It's all right! It's all right! You're good! You're good! "Barthes. Willie took the child into his arms. However, his move made the officers who followed him frown.

"Lord Commander! I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"

"Don't talk about this! Don't talk about this! "Barthes. Wei wiped the little warrior's face with his sleeve. "Sue me! Sue Lord Sù! From the time you enter the forest to the time you are attacked! ”

Kirrick choked up for a moment, he was thinking, he was organizing the language, compared to the grief of losing his comrades, it was his responsibility to report the military situation accurately.

"That's right, at first it was normal, and our ten scout squads kept moving in unison, but ...... It was about two kilometers into the edge of the forest that we were suddenly attacked, from all sides! My captain was the first to die, and then my comrades and I split ways to break through, but it was clear that the enemy didn't give us a chance, there were too many of them! When I left the battlefield, I saw a comrade surrounded by more than twenty enemies, and I wanted to save him! I really want to save him! Can...... But...... I'm a scout and I have to bring back what I encountered...... I don't have the right to decide whether I live or die......"

Speaking of which, Kirrick began to sob again!

Barthes. Willie finally got impatient! He grabbed the little boy by the collar.

"You give me the damn tears back! Everyone here is waiting to avenge their comrades! Sue me! Make it clear! The look of those enemies, their dress! The weapons they used ......"

"Lord Commander,"

Little Corick jerks off Barthes. Willy's words, he wiped his eyes vigorously, he was ignited by the word revenge, "Those guys don't have uniform costumes, they are mainly Hulks, but there are also a lot of kobolds in the team." The Hulk used a two-handed battle axe, and the kobolds mostly used crossbows, I'm sure ......"

"That's it! So be it! ”

Barthes. Willy patted the little warrior's head lightly, then turned to Hathaway and said, "Lord Lord, we don't have to doubt anymore, it's the Hulk who has invaded again." Although I know how they lurked here, I'm sure the Hulk and the kobold have been in the same boat. Judging by the effect of their attack, it should be a regular army! Their total strength ...... No less than 20,000 people. ”

"Twenty thousand?"

Hathaway sighed softly, while the other officers gasped...... How is this battle fought?

"Let's go out and have a look."

Hathaway walked out of the tent noncommittally, and the others hurriedly followed.

Outside, as the warriors were preparing their fortifications in high spirits, Hathaway walked up to the top and looked up in the direction of the Hulk's hidden troops.

There was no movement, but ...... Hathaway suddenly had a smile on her face, in front of Panlong Ridge, there was a vast open field, just right for the development of magic and artillery fire, and the situation was not so bad.

She turned around and asked, "Has the enemy briefing been sent out?" ”

"Report to my lord, they set off half a magic hour ago." The herald replied hurriedly.

"Well then! As a lord, please accept the battlefield instructions issued by me! First, the lord's personal guard is responsible for defending the frontal battlefield of Panlong Ridge; second, the infantry of the two brigades of the city defense army were responsible for defending the two flanks of Panlong Ridge; Thirdly, all cavalry should hide behind the mountains and wait until the battlefield situation is favorable to the enemy before launching an attack, and it is necessary to crush the enemy's attack in one fell swoop; Fourth, the 1st and 2nd squads of the special combat team immediately set up artillery positions at the highest point of Panlong Ridge, and sent people back to the military factory to bring all the mortars and shells, and I will arrange the mortars in positions that can cover the entire battlefield! ”

"Yes, sir." The two squad leaders of the special operations team immediately agreed.

"Everyone! What are you still doing? ”

Hathaway looked at the officers who had always maintained a solemn military posture, "The enemy may attack at any time, and my soldiers cannot fight them unprepared!" Hurry up! Especially in the trenches of the frontal battlefield, you must dig a few more lanes, and the other should be wider, so as not to let those Hulks step over in one step. ”

The officers scattered in a bang, and as they ran, they rejoiced that they had this talent, a lord who always kept a clear head, and she had created a favorable situation on the battlefield that was already more than a few.

"Your Excellency Pang Sen, I have something to trouble you." Hathaway turned her head and found the Lord of Shadows.

"Your Excellency, please command!"

"I want you to lead the scout team and watch the enemy's movements to make sure they don't attack me from behind."

"Yes, sir!"

Stilwell. Pang Sen said sternly, "I assure you that there will not be a Hulk or kobold behind Panlong Ridge. ”

As he turned to leave, Stilwell. Pang Sen suddenly turned back, "My lord, I have to say, your deployment can be called invulnerable!" ”

The endless sea of forests stretched out to the eastern horizon in the sun, and occasionally one or two flocks of birds rushed out of the sea of forests, spreading their wings and turning over the rare silence.

The forest was still gloomy and there was no end in sight. The sky was low, and it seemed to be pressed against the high canopy of trees. There are people moving in the forest, and although people outside the forest can't see it, the flock of birds in the forest is more or less indicative of something. However, no one cares about this, and everyone inside and outside the forest knows that when they see each other, it is the moment to fight their fate with their lives.

A huge blue-feathered harrier flew over the sky of Panlong Ridge, its figure made the small animals on the ground panic and scatter, the blue-feathered harrier looked at the ground in surprise, it was very confused, why the small high ground in the past suddenly changed. Countless people are running, countless people are shouting, and countless people are busy and nervously building fortifications.

The blue-feathered harrier didn't know what fortifications were, only that the sharpened fences erected on the edge of the high ground would hurt its wings, and it barely resisted the urge to swoop, and the little wisdom in its mind reminded it to get out of this place quickly.

It should be said that Panlong Ridge is a high ground that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The widest part of the slope crest has a span of nearly two or three hundred meters, and the slope is very steep in the north-south direction and very gentle in the east-west direction. On the east-west side is the frontal battlefield, which faces the open field beyond the forest gap. This open land is about four kilometers away from Panlong Ridge in a straight line, and from a distance, except for the cavalry galloping back and forth, the open land is just a very quiet meadow.

Right next to the lookout under intense construction, the Cordillera City Defense Army had set up its headquarters in the clearing, and a rectangular table, also improvised on the grass, had gathered all the officers of the unit.

As Hathaway. The commander-in-chief of the battlefield appointed by Lord Marquis Bell and the commander of the city defense army, Barthes. Baron Willy stood on the sand table of the emergency and explained the blocking plan that had just been formulated.

He used a branch as a baton and pointed at the sand table, "This is our Panlong Ridge, we are going to fight an unprecedented blocking battle here." ”

Paying attention to the faces of the officers, Barthes. Willie nodded with satisfaction, everyone was in good shape. R1152
