Less than a day's journey from Diguan, an important town south of the city of Kodor, an army of nearly two thousand men marched in unison. From a distance, it looks like a long moving dragon running through the western trade route of the country, and the dragon head looks in the direction of the city of Kodor......

This is the majority of the Wells Legion that repelled the northern army of the province of Kodor and the Midsummer Legion of the Midsummer Lord.

The first unit at the front was the 1st Regiment of the Wells Regiment led by Odo, which was the main force of the legion, and most of them were composed of veterans who had been in battle for a long time. The first detachment was followed by cavalry, crossbow and chariot teams under the command of the Welsh Corps.

Walking in the middle of the team was the second detachment of the Wells Regiment led by Angus, known as the Southern Garrison Corps, which had three companies: the Sapp Private Army, the Fort Andermatt Private Army, and the County Army stationed in the city of Tignac. During the recuperation at Fort Marcy, the 2nd Regiment was reorganized separately and placed under the unified command of Angus.

The second detachment was followed by the third detachment of the Welsh regiment, led by the sub-commander Bass. It is mainly composed of young and strong peasant soldiers in the valley, and is responsible for guarding the valley on weekdays, and this time it is almost out to support Fort Marssy. More than 200 peasant soldiers, mainly led by Sapp, and peasant soldiers led by Bass himself were re-established. Behind the Bath detachment were the Welsh Regiment Baggage Regiment.

At the end of the team was the Longxia Legion led by Viscount Leonde, the leader of the Longxia Army. This force consisted of the mountain people under the leadership of Longxia and the infantry who stayed behind.

About 150 wounded soldiers and a part of the Welsh Regiment remained at Fort Marssy, and Andrew, the deputy of the 2nd Company of the 1st Regiment, was responsible for defending the city. In order to consolidate the rear of the Wells Corps, relieve the worries of the army in the north. The Longxia Legion also sent more than 100 of its soldiers back to the Longxia Territory to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall and attacking the Longxia Territory.

"My lord, I'm really worried about the valley being attacked, it's our big rear, everything we do now is for the future of the valley." Angus, who was following behind Art, said worriedly.

"Sergeant Major, you are in the same mood as I was when I first heard that Tignats had been captured. But after rational analysis, you will dispel those doubts. At this time, Arte, who was on the horse, was in a good mood and calmly explained his views to Angus. If it weren't for the fact that the Wells Legion had penetrated deep into the heart of Kodor, that Bernard bastard would not have had time to take care of us. He is a grasshopper after autumn, and he can't toss for a few days. ”

"What, grasshoppers after autumn? That's an interesting word. "Angus was curious about the new word.

"Sergeant, I mean that the Thorne court is in its final throes of death, trying to force me to retreat by storming the valley." Art explained.

"Your Excellency is right." Angus nodded in response.

"The more times like this, the more careful we have to be, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites." Art said earnestly.

"What, rabbits bite when they're in a hurry?" Angus often couldn't understand these cautionary tales from Art. But it is often understood quickly after Yate's pointing. Occasionally, he quoted Yat's words to lecture the soldiers, often winning applause. After more contact, Angus can slowly understand a thing or two. "Are you saying that the Thorne court is the rabbit, they are now being forced by us, and there is still a certain threat."

"Sergeant Major, you really understand me more and more." Art turned to Angus and smiled.

Hahaha, the adult has won the prize. Angus smiled.

"By the way, I just received an emergency military intelligence from the valley." Art said calmly.

"How's the valley?" Angus looked expectant.

"Cooper explained in the letter, Triduok arrived in time, and the crisis in the valley has been solved~"

"Great, sir." Angus's expression was no longer so serious.

"It's just~" Arte paused, "The valley has suffered huge losses this time, a large number of peasant soldiers have been killed and wounded, and many houses and farmlands have been destroyed in various parts of the county. ”

"Bernard, this bastard, I'll cut off his head sooner or later!" Angus, who had always been calm, was furious when he heard of the great damage to the valley. This is also human nature, as a part of the valley, their own homes are destroyed, naturally unhappy.

"Sergeant Major, you don't have to worry too much. Now that the valley is still in our hands, the top priority is to go north as soon as possible and completely defeat the Thorne army, which can be regarded as an explanation for the dead and wounded lords in the valley this time. ”

"That's what my lord said." Angus looked at Art in agreement. So saying, the two of them raised their whips and continued on their way.

At noon on the second day, the army reached the foot of a gentle slope on a hill five miles southeast of the town of Diguan, and Art ordered everyone to camp in place.

At this time, Kazak, who was in charge of pursuing the remnants of the northern army of Kodor all the way to Diguan Town a few days ago, learned that the army had arrived, and asked the rest of the people to continue to observe, and he quickly ran to the command camp of the Chinese army to report to Yat the information related to Diguan Town that he had collected in recent days.

“…… My lords, that's pretty much it. We pursued the remnants of Kodor all the way to Diguan Town, and we did not dare to continue the pursuit rashly, fearing that the garrison of Diguan Town would cut off our back route and encircle us with the garrison of Kodor City, so we kept secretly observing and collecting information, waiting for the arrival of the army. Kazak said for a long time that he picked up the Welsh beer on the table and poured it into his stomach

"Kazak, you're doing a great job. Next, you can tell you about the situation on the periphery of Diguan Town and the garrison inside. Art and the other officers sat around a long wooden table in the middle of the tent, looking at the topographical map of the towns of Diguan and Kodor, which had been easily drawn on the wooden tables with charcoal rods.

"This is where we are now," Kazak said, pointing to the black dot on the map with a thin stick, "and this trade route leads five miles north to the town of Diguan. As the gateway to the south of the city of Kodor, the city walls of Diguan Town are tall, and the southwest side is blocked by a wide river, and there are more than 20 garrison handles on the other side of the river. With that, Kazak moved the stick to the right. To the east of Diguan is an open space that can be quickly passed through by detouring, but there is an enemy fort with about five garrisons in it, and the purpose is supposed to prevent traders from trying to make a detour to the city of Kodor from the right side of Diguan Town. If we want to get through here, we must first get rid of the soldiers inside, otherwise when the army appears in the vicinity, the people inside will definitely report to the garrison in the city. This is the terrain on the outskirts of the town of Diguan. As he spoke, Kazak placed the stick on the table.

"How many garrisons are there?" Listening to Kazak's report, Yat thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"My lord, there were about eighty people in the original garrison. When we first arrived here, while the enemy was not much prepared, I sent someone to creep into the city from the open space in the east. The Earl of Kodor only stayed in the town of Diguan for half a day before fleeing to the city of Kodor with his personal guards, leaving the remnants of the horses to garrison Diguan. In addition, dozens of retreating remnants of soldiers hid in Diguan Town one after another. So, the garrison inside was about one hundred and fifty people. Kazak sat down.

"Okay, this time the imperial capital is on our side, and it is just around the corner to break through the city of Kodor and approach the province of Thorn!" Art said excitedly.

"Swear allegiance to your lordship!"

"Swear allegiance to your lordship!"

The officers clenched their right hands into fists and beat their chests and shouted to Art. Art nodded in satisfaction.

"Pass my order, the whole army will rest for half a day, and tomorrow morning, the whole army will be mobilized. Target, Diguan Town! ”

"Yes!"

After dinner, it will be dark. The Yat sent a group of officers to the large barracks tent, and after assigning their respective tasks, they walked towards the small hill behind with the guard Ron~

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and there was still some dazzling sunlight that made the two of them unable to open their eyes. Yate raised his right hand to block the dazzling light and looked at Diguan Town, which was rising from the plain, only to see the soldiers on the city wall walking back and forth, and the heraldic flags on the high place swayed slightly under the warm wind, as if beckoning to the two Yate who were watching Diguan Town......

"Report!" Outside the door of the castle bedroom in the lord hall of Diguan Town, the sudden appearance of the herald startled Yuri, who was working hard in the woman's body early in the morning.

This woman was the wife of one of his tax collectors who had just passed the door, and the tax collector had been drinking with the officers of Diguan Town last night, and when he had drunk too much, he fell to the ground and fell asleep. Yuri took the daughter back to his bedroom with the strength of the wine, and worked hard all night. Woke up early, looked at the beauty billet beside me, couldn't help but want to move his muscles and bones, just after warming up, the voice of the herald came from outside the door......

"You bastard, you're going to disturb my good things!" Yuri opened the door and was scolded, exuding the smell of alcohol, but his face was full of spring~

"If you have something to say, let it go!" Yuri said loudly. Seeing that the herald was standing on his toes and looking into the house, Yuri was angry.

"Smack~" A slap landed on the herald's face. "You bastard, where are you looking?" The slap frightened the woman inside and screamed.

"Report to Lord Baron, an army suddenly appeared outside the city early this morning." The herald straightened his helmet and hurried to report it.

"What? Where did the army come from? How many people are there? Yuri asked repeatedly.

"About two thousand men, it seems to have come from the direction of Fort Marcy."

"Quick, change my clothes, take me around!" With that, Yuri staggered into the inner room......

On the southern wall of Diguan Town, the garrison soldiers who had already heard the news almost crowded the aisles, trembling one by one, for fear that the group of guys downstairs would attack the city.

"They were the ones who almost killed us." One of the soldiers, who had fled from the direction of Fort Marcy a few days earlier, pointed to the troops downstairs and said to the people around him.

"Are they really that powerful?" A soldier stationed in Diguan asked.

"If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself, Lord Earl~"

"Get out of the way!" Just as the soldier could speak, Yuri, who had trotted all the way, walked towards the city wall, surrounded by soldiers.

"Emperor, where did these guys come from?" Looking at the Wills Legion and the Midsummer Legion standing by in battle downstairs, Yuri's eyes couldn't help but widen. Looking at this army of nearly two thousand people, he finally knew why Count Kodor was so embarrassed when he fled to Diguan Town~

"What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and send troops to Kodor to report to you!"

"Dangdangdang......"

Almost at the same moment as Yuri's order, the bell of the city wall warning rang slowly......
