Chapter 201: Starry Night
The Waiwei Camp of the Eastern Corps was not far from Fort Sol, and it would normally take three or four hours to reach it via the avenue. ,.@.∞o
However, in order to return to the legion camp as soon as possible, Art chose a forest path to go straight through, but at this time, the snow had just melted, the road was extremely slippery and muddy, and the sky was completely dark, and the outpost ran for three hours without seeing the shadow of Thorburg.
“tmd!” On the forest road leading to Sarburg, a soldier in heavy armor fell to the ground.
Bangada reached out and pulled Andrew, who slipped to the ground, and asked, "Man, are you okay?"
Andrew got up and straightened his weapons and armor, used his hands to rip off the mud all over his body, and scraped the heavy dirt from his boots on the stones, and replied, "Sir Bangada, I'm fine, but I'm slipping."
"Commander Bangada, why are you in such a hurry to return to Solburg? The guys rolled and crawled in the mud all night in the dark, and they were so tired~" Running non-stop all night made it a little difficult for a veteran like Andrew.
Bangada has been promoted to the second squad leader of the third squadron of the soldiers, according to Yate's regulations on the legion, the squad leader is already an officer, and "obeying military orders" as an officer has been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, "My lord ordered to go to Solburg, where did you get so many complaints?" ”
Andrew reached to the side of the stone to wipe away the thick silt, "I'm not complaining, I just don't know why I'm in such a hurry." ”
"The time is too urgent, and the adults didn't have time to do the pre-war mobilization, I heard that it seems that there is an emergency on the side of the legion camp, and the adults want to take us to the aid of the legion. The sergeant major has already rushed forward with the sentinel cavalry, and it is estimated that the situation is extremely urgent. Bangada followed suit and rubbed the heavy mud off his boots.
"Take good care of your two soldiers, and don't leave them behind. 5∞,.. o ≈," Bangada commanded.
"Yes, I'm not going to leave the guys behind."
By the time Arte led five squadrons of the outpost {four squadrons of soldiers and one squadron of mercenaries} and more than eighty members of the gongnu team to the edge of the dense forest in the hills southeast of Solburg, the sky was already bright.
Angus, who had been the first to rush back to the Legion camp, returned to the outpost and found Art.
"My lord, it may be that we have been overly concerned about Art, the legion camp has not been attacked by the Lombards, and I have already reported your conjecture to the deputy commander of the legion, and the deputy commander of the legion thinks that we are too worried. He ordered us to rush to Viscount Geoffrey's side as soon as possible to participate in the ambush. "Angus looked tired, and Angus was also tired after a night of Mercedes.
Knowing that the Legion camp was not under attack, Art's heart finally relaxed, "It seems that I overestimated the enemy forces in Solbenne. ”
After a night of speeding on slippery and muddy roads, Art also felt very struggling.
"Otto, you hurry up and let the team rest for a while, drink some water and eat some food, and we will wait here quietly, I am still worried that the Lombards will cheat." Although the Legion camp was not attacked by the Lombards, Art instinctively planned to disobey the Legion's orders and lurk in the dense forest with the outpost until the Lombards withdrew from Solburg.
"My lord, the Legion Commander and the Deputy Legion Commander have ordered us to participate in the ambush, if the Lombards do not move, I am afraid that the Legion will pursue you for disobeying military orders~" Angus kindly reminded.
"Sergeant Major, I know the consequences of disobeying orders. However, Fort Sol is our most important target, and if we can't take Fort Sol, or if there is a problem on the Legion's side, this will be the end of our southward campaign. I don't think it would be wise for Viscount Geoffrey to take the risk of ambushing the Lombards with his elite just to add some color to his military exploits. Art still stands by his point.
"Well, as long as you successfully take Solburg, I believe that the Legion Commander will not pursue your disobedience too much. But when the time comes to distribute military merits, I'm afraid it will have to ~"
"Forget it, just be on the safe side." Angus didn't ramble any more.
"I took the sentry cavalry to rest for a while, and the guys ran all night, and it was hard work." Angus went to arrange the affairs of the Sentinel Cavalry.
Legion camp outside the northern city of Fort Thor.
A leading baron, who was also the lieutenant of the Legion, paced back and forth in the camp tent, and today the outpost sent back from the Starry Morning {before dawn} that the Lombards might guess the emptiness of the Legion camp based on the number of campfires in the barracks, and warned the Lombards of the possibility of attacking the camp.
Although the lieutenant of the legion did not believe that the Lombards would attack the camp, he strengthened his guard and defense, and not only did he increase the number of sentinels in the camp, but also the four gates of Solburg.
Just when the adjutant of the legion who stayed behind was also worried and his heart was beating, one of his henchmen entered the tent.
"Your Excellency, the Lombards in Thorburg have sent several chests of gold and silver coins worth 150,000 fennigs and valuable jewels, saying that this is part of it, and that the rest will be sent to us when the Lombards leave the southern city. In addition, the sentinels on the siege tower reported that the Lombards in the city seemed to have already packed their things and were preparing to evacuate. The officer said.
"Let them take all the money that the Lombards have sent, and tell the Lombards not to play tricks. In addition, if they dare to give one less copper coin at the good price, I will not let them go. Said the adjutant of the legion.
"My lord, no, the Lombards only give a lot more."
The confidant officer took a step forward and said in his ear: "My lord, while the baggage officer has not yet counted, are we~"
The lieutenant of the legion grinned, "This ~ not good ~"
The confidant officer said softly: "What's wrong, while the corps commander is not there, we can catch more if we can." Anyway, even if it is found out a little less at that time, we will just push it to the cunning Lombards. The officer smiled evilly.
"This~" The adjutant of the legion was still a little hesitant.
"My lord, let's just take less."
The adjutant of the legion hesitated for a moment and said, "You guys do it secretly, don't let others find out~"
"Yes! I'm not going to let anyone notice. ”
The adjutant of the regiment smiled with satisfaction, and said in his heart: "It seems that the Lombards really just want to evacuate Thorborg quietly~"
"My lord, the things have been delivered to the enemy camp outside the city, but the people who delivered the things have been blocked far away from the camp and have not been able to see the situation in the enemy camp clearly." Inside Thorburg, an officer reported to von Billen.
"Okay, are the soldiers ready?"
"My lord, they are all ready, and more than two hundred and thirty soldiers have been selected, and they have already eaten and drunk enough to assemble under the outer wall of the North City, just waiting for your name to rush out."
"The enemy outside the city didn't notice anything, did they?"
"No, although they strengthened the guard this morning, they didn't make a big move."
Feng Bilun held his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, looked at the direction of the north of the city, and said in a deep voice: "Order, raid the enemy camp!" "11166 net
