22. The counterattack of the crusading army
In this late spring and summer season, traces of barbarians have been found in most parts of the territory of the Sloitt department, and these barbarians from the ice and tundra have defied the laws of the seasons and lurked recklessly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After the White Elephant River was civilized, they still stayed in the mountains of Sloitt Province, and they did not carry out a large-scale slave hunting campaign, but killed all those who found them in order to cover up their tracks.
In fact, judging by this strategy alone, the Barbarians' plan has been successful.
In the face of the thawed White Elephant River, these barbarians who remained on the south bank, they have to face the entire North Wind Legion, unless they can keep blocking the news and hide themselves in the mountains, and the city can guarantee their safety, but obviously these barbarians did not do so. If I hadn't rescued the guards that night, I'm afraid the barbarians' plan would have succeeded, and if they could kill the future heiress of the Ellie family, Jingyue Ellie, it would be a cause for celebration for the barbarian tribe, and a series of chain reactions would have caused the province of Sloit to fall into a battle between the gatekeepers in the next few years。
If the news of Jingyue Ellie's death spreads from Yuhu to Sloit, it may be a very serious blow to Old Wall, who was already anxious about the abduction of Princess Sha, at this time, Baron Kai led thousands of his guards battalion and the forces of the intelligence agency to take advantage of the chaos to seize power in Sloit City, and maybe he will succeed in controlling the power of Sloit City in his hands.
Kai Ito's plan can be said to be very crazy, but some people think that this is a rare opportunity, so after planning for a long time, they finally contact those barbarians in power in the ice and snow tundra. These barbarians are not like the older generation of barbarians, who prefer to live on the ice and tundra, but prefer the rich and fertile land in the northern part of the Grimm Empire, where it is warmer and more abundantly fed. They believed that supporting the human rebels and overthrowing the original regime would lead to the collapse of the impregnable northern province of Sloit. Perhaps taking advantage of this opportunity, the barbarian tribe will also be able to occupy a part of the land, which is why these young barbarians will take such a risk, risking being wiped out by the Legion of the North Wind, and lurking.
In the eyes of all of us, this act of the barbarians is tantamount to death, and this white elephant river, which rains well in the summer, is like a moat for those savages. Unless the river freezes in winter, the river is never impassable for the barbarians.
Kaiito promised the young young barbarian leader that he would return the young barbarian warriors to the ice and tundra safely, but the situation changed a few days ago, according to the plan, Jingyue Ellie and her guard regiment would not survive, this is a very crucial link, nearly half of the guards are noble children. The death of these people will affect the political situation of Sloit. In order to set up this trap on the shore of Fish Lake, Kai Ito spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and the leader of the Young Zhuang faction of the entire barbarian tribe even sent nearly 20,000 young barbarian warriors to carry out this plan.
However, the brilliant plan, which has been repeatedly proven to be foolproof, has failed. Jingyue Aili and the guard regiment have now merged with the light cavalry of the North Wind Legion, this is a very powerful force, the light cavalry relies on the flexibility and mobility of the Gubolai horse, can hold these barbarians to the death, even if they cannot escape. and not to fight these barbarians.
At this time, large numbers of troops began to be gathered from all over the province of El and rushed towards the mountains near the fish lake on the outskirts of El. The Knights of the Northwind, the most elite of the Legion of the North Wind, are also on their way here. Once the armies of all walks of life form a siege, there is basically only one fate for these barbarian warriors, and that is that their thick heads will be cut off by sharp swords.
Kai Ito ventured out of the city of Sloit this time and met with the leader of the barbarians, just to discuss the next action, but on the way he unexpectedly met Linna, at this time Lina had fallen into a hallucination, originally Kai thought that he had completed a dashing heroic feat of saving beauty, but in the conversation, Lina thought that Kai and his men were here to encircle and suppress the barbarians, but he did not expect that the mastermind of these events was the gentleman-like aristocratic young Kay Ito in front of him. Linna, who was originally kept in the dark, was treated very well, if it weren't for Lina telling all her details, and saying that they were specially coming to save Moras magicians, Baron Kay couldn't hold back anymore and burst out of anger, Linna was like a white sheep who fell into the mouth of a tiger.
If it weren't for the fact that Baron Kai took off Linna's clothes and saw the works of the masters of the imperial capital inscriptions with her magic patterns all over her body, this would be a bit of a deep reflection on people, and Baron Kai didn't change Lina because of this, but he didn't know what to do with this woman, but Lina actually ran out of the heavily guarded barbarian camp, and in just three days, the news that Baron Kai organized rebels to try to attack El City and Sloit City was announced to the public.
Today, the entire city of El, the entire province of Sloyd, and even the northern regions are wanted by Kayten.
This has almost become a big joke in the aristocratic circle of the Green Empire, the fiancé of the future Duchess of Sloitte Province, Jingyue Aili, Kay Ito, actually planned to kill his fiancée's entire family, so as to win the entire Sloit Province in one fell swoop, this is a bit too stupid to talk about, not to mention anything else, but in the garrison of those North Wind Legions in the thirteenth district of Sloitt City, there are 800,000 troops stationed all year round, and more than half of such a powerful legion is in the hands of Old Wall, Duke of Sloitt City, and Kayto is completely free this time。
And those barbarians who were like trapped beasts were completely surrounded by the Legion of the North Wind, and they did not even see the gates of the city of El, and they were driven by the army of the Legion of the North Wind to the Land of the Cursed and the area of the Galloping Horse. Before the barbarians arrived, the inhabitants of this area migrated in large numbers.
In the direction of the city of El, among the people fleeing all over the mountains, I was one of them.
...... Beautiful Dividing Line......
The outskirts of the town of Eyre are full of orchards full of golden apple trees, and the golden cider made here is very famous. These suburban hills are not very high. And it's all dirt hills, which are perfect for growing golden apple trees. At this time, just in time for the tail of spring, in November in the province of Sloit, it is the season of crazy growth, and the apple trees in the large golden apple orchards are full of white flowers. Patches of snow are like snow-capped mountains hidden in the green forest.
Follow the road next to the Golden Apple Orchard and head southeast to reach the city of El.
The next time I saw Lyant, it was a day later. These days, the whole city of El is like a pot of boiling water, those barbarians tossed the whole province of Silloit, the deepest affected is the city of Silloyt, but the most tormented is the city of El City, there has been news that those barbarians want to capture the city of El City. After that, the city of Elr was turned into a stronghold of the barbarians, and as long as the White Elephant River froze in winter, a steady stream of barbarian armies entered the province of Sloitt and there was a stronghold of rest, which has always caused the inhabitants of Ell to panic.
It was also under these circumstances that the residents of El City spontaneously organized the forces to resist the barbarians, and Stans College also followed the overall situation and organized some outstanding senior students in the academy, led by some teachers with considerable experience in wilderness survival. Set out from the city of El to the barbarian battlefield of the Cursed Lands.
Refugees are not displaced by the loss of their homes. The mayor of the town, in order to win the right to relocate, even held a fundraising event in the town of Maas, and took the initiative to clean up the dilapidated houses. This group of refugees is also full of yearning for a new life. Although they are reluctant to open up some new farms by the Galloping Horse, but what can they do, the barbarians of the ice and tundra will not reason with every inhabitant, they will only keep catching miners, and the town of Maas is not far from the city of El. It's a very nice quiet town.
The whole town lives off the golden cider and is surrounded by plenty of golden apple orchards. Sometimes, Leant also likes to drink two glasses of golden cider after a meal, the kind of light fruit wine with a slightly sour taste and a slight apple aroma, and the alcohol content is very low, even if you drink an extra glass or two, it is not easy to get drunk.
Ryan followed the improvised Northern Expeditionary Force from Stans College from the town of El, passing through the small town of Maas in the direction we came, and happened to meet our refugee group.
I was waiting for the pot of cereal porridge to be cooked in the middle of a group of refugees, and I was responsible for following a group of children to collect dry wood next to the orchard, and then ran to the stove and sat together waiting for the porridge to be cooked. Actually, I don't like to eat cereal porridge without any taste, especially when the cereal is cooked like paste, I was forced into the refugee team by the kind people in the refugee team when I passed by.
Sometimes, these northerners of the Grimm Empire are a little too bold, and they will always think about some things as a matter of course, for example, when I passed through this refugee camp, in fact, I was just this high-end linen clothes and cotton pants, repeatedly dry and wet, wet and dry, and crawled in the reed pond many times, and once sneaked into the barbarian camp, making this clothes very dirty, but I delayed too much time along the way, so I didn't want to waste time on laundry, maybe when those barbarians caught up, and made a special mess, just like that, I became a dirty child, more like a street child.
The group of refugees who were forced to leave their homes finally saw a person who was ten times worse than them looked, especially a teenager like me, walking alone on the road wearing a dirty clothes, and soon someone thought about my unfortunate family affairs, and then forcibly pulled me closer to the ranks of the refugees, without saying a word, after stripping me naked, I threw it into a large wooden basin regardless of my image, and washed it up and down inside and out, and then some of those refugees actually washed my clothes and pants very considerately, and let me eat a big bowl of cereal porridge in the refugee camp, and then someone told me: Don't be afraid, child, this is your homeYou can come with us to the small town of Maas, where there is a large golden apple orchard, which is very wealthy, and every family can eat white bread and drink potato and beef soup every night.
I was a little speechless and didn't know how to defend myself, so I joined the group of refugees until I met Ryant, who was dressed in a light antelope leather bodysuit and a simple light armor. With a Rapier at his waist and a very clean beard, he watched me quietly in the midst of the crowd of students.
The group of senior students in Staines were obviously some young seedlings who had been kept in the greenhouse of El City since childhood, they had almost never experienced wind and rain, and they even talked and laughed along the way, just like a simple field exercise for this operation, and when they saw this group of refugees, they were even more shocked to gather over, pointing and commenting, while talking about the wind and cool words.
The students of Stans College stopped on the side of the road to rest, and many of them even climbed over the fence of the orchard and ran under the apple trees in the orchard to take a break and rest. Many people took out delicate pastries or white bread and ate lunch slowly, and at this time I was pouting and fanning the fire, and the firewood I picked up was a little damp and not easy to ignite.
At this time, I noticed that there was a gaze behind me, looking at me gently, and it felt so familiar, so I suddenly looked back, and found that Laiert was looking at me with a loving face, and he did not disturb me, but stood behind me and looked at me quietly. Seeing that I seemed to stop consciously, and turned his head to look at him, he did not look away, smiled at me gently, and whispered: "Why do you make such a miserable mess every time I see you?
I nodded busily, with a happy smile on my face, and strode up to him and said loudly, "Ryant, why are you here, Fanny!
"Hearing that there are barbarians on the outskirts of El City, Fanny and I don't know how worried we are about you. I've tried to go out of town to find you, but as you can see, the academy is going to organize a crusade with the town hall, and I was asked by the dean to go with the army, and the barbarians won't see that these children don't understand anything, and show mercy to their men! I'll take them out completely, and I'm going to bring them back completely!" Ryan squatted in front of my body, stroked my head gently, and said to me gently.
Behind him gathered a group of boys and girls a few years older than me, and I looked at their youthful appearances, and I couldn't tell what it was like, I wondered if they would be so frightened that they would pee their pants when they saw those fierce barbarians! )
