Chapter 24: The Battle of Ash Valley (End)

Previous Chapter

"Rush, rush me, be sure to take down Rhodes' head!"

Kilburn shouted hoarsely, his helmet not knowing when it would fall.

The rear army was in disarray, and the Earl's only thought now was to rush up the hill and kill Rod.

There may be a slight turnaround.

"Kill!"

"Fight them back!"

Behind the hill, a bloodshot Occam led the army and roared loudly.

After sending Man Shan back for treatment, Occam gathered the remnants of the army and brought some of the Shanyue people who were still capable of fighting to quickly come to support.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the blood had stained the hill red.

Hubert, riding on a pony, ran to the earl and said, "My lord, withdraw your troops." ”

The Earl of Kilburn said hatefully: "The hatred of the murderer is not shared, and my humiliating defeat has not become the laughing stock of those fellows?"

Hubert pointed behind him and said loudly: "My lord, look behind you, do you want to die here first!"

The rear army had collapsed, and the attacking Kilberd army was demoralized and demoralized.

"Lord Earl, Qingyan City has sufficient armaments and materials, and we still have Lord Viscount as reinforcements, and we will definitely be able to wash away today's shame if we make a comeback!"

The Count let out a long breath and straightened his loose hair.

He glanced deeply at the hill, turned his horse, and whispered, "Withdraw the troops." ”

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

The personal non-commissioned officer shouted loudly, picked up the horn on his waist and blew it.

The horn of retreat sounded, and the Kilbord army withdrew in disarray.

The first meeting between the Kilburn Leader and the Greystone Leader has come to an end for the time being.

......

Greystone Valley.

As usual, everything went smoothly.

The difference is that there are a lot of soldiers missing from the playground.

But there are also a lot of new residents.

More than 20,000 slaves led by Gade, a highlander.

They have also become the largest force in the Greystone Territory after Rhodes.

And they did not come this time to submit to Rhodes.

Gad proposed an alliance with Rhodes to rely on each other to resist the offensive of the Kilberd leadership.

More than 20,000 young and strong slaves were an incalculable loss for those slave owners.

The Earl will surely make a comeback.

And whether he can defeat the earl here is also the key for Rhodes to prove that he can stand on his feet in the barrens.

In an old gray tent.

Rhodes and Gad are discussing the battle ahead.

"Then, the rebel army led by me is the main one, supplemented by Lord Rhodes' army. When necessary, you must unconditionally help our army. ”

"And set aside a piece of land for my people to live in. ”

"And ......"

Gade touched his severed finger wrapped in gauze as he listened to the demands and conditions offered by his subordinates.

In this war, Rhodes and Kilberd both lost.

Although the more than 20,000 rebels under Gade are a rabble, they have also become a force that Rhodes has to rely on at this moment.

This also gave Gad Lion a reason to open his mouth.

At the end of the meeting, Gade left with a group of men in good spirits.

In this war, the rebels defeated the Kilbord army, and Gade took the lead in cutting off more than a dozen heads.

It turned out that the count's army was nothing more than that, and Gad couldn't help but think that he had been too timid before.

The ambition in his heart swelled irrepressibly.

With the help of this Rhodes' power to resist the Earl of Kilburnd, perhaps in the near future, he can also be the master of this barren land and live a lord addiction.

"Haha, sure enough, it was a wise and correct decision for me to decide to lead everyone to rebel!"

Gade said loudly to his subordinates, and the group hurriedly said yes.

......

Inside the tent, Rhodes rubbed his brows and closed his eyes.

Olmers couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at Gad and his party who were happily leaving.

"At the moment of the great enemy, he is already thinking about infighting. ”

"What an idiot. ”

Rod tapped on the table, gesturing the map on it.

"If Gade is too smart, it's a bad thing for us. ”

"Let's discuss how to pay the future Lord Gader. ”

The two immediately discussed the current situation.

Two hours later, Olmers went to meet Gad with a deed.

Rhodes now did not have enough living force in his hands, and he had to guard against Gad's rebels, so he had to abandon the strategy of using wolf cavalry to contain Viscount Wallace.

This also means that the Barren Ground will be attacked more ferociously the next time.

And in the barren land, there are not only such a few people under the command of Rhodes.

There are many small towns and villages in the barrens, and Rhodes' last raid did them a damn, but it didn't hurt them.

And this time the Earl of Kilburnt invaded, as the nominal lord of the barren lands, and none of the lords came to help in the war.

To the natives of the Barrens, there may be no difference between Rhodes and the Earl of Kilburn.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you watch the show. ”

As a gesture of friendship, Rhodes gave Gad all the richest towns in the Barrens, giving Gad great power as Lord of the Barrens.

A cocky slave leader and a group of rich people living in luxury, there is bound to be a conflict between the two.

Rhodes could then wait for an opportunity to bring the two forces under his command.

It will be some time before the Earl wants to gather his army again and make a comeback, and in the meantime, the interior must be put in order.

"Akron, I need you to do something. ”

"Your Excellency, please command. ”

Akron put his hands on his chest and lowered his head.

"Gather the rocks and lead an army of the Shanyue people, I want you to wear the uniform of the Kilbord army and plunder the barren lands. ”

"Leave no mouth alive. ”

"The bigger the movement, the better. ”

Somehow must be found to make the whole barren land act against the Earl's common hatred.

Before that, sow some seeds of hatred.

......

Gad sent Olmers out of the camp with a red glint on his face.

He got everything he wanted.

From now on, he's no longer a slave Gad, but Lord Gad!

"Hello brothers!

"I've heard that these places are the richest in the barren lands! Lord Rhodes is really interesting!"

"Hahaha!"

Gade laughed, and a group of rebels quickly assembled.

Most of them had weapons captured during the war, and each of them carried a bag of food that had been looted during the chaos.

Leave the rebel garrison.

Escorted by a cavalry of centurians, Olmers headed for Fort Haydn, the Baron of Newcastle.

Manshan, who had not long recovered from his injuries, took Agan and secretly infiltrated Kilberd's territory.

Occam led a large number of wolf horsemen into the Mivol Woodlands, and they had only one mission, and that was to raid.

Rhodes needed some allies, and even more so money.

"Praise the goddess of wealth. ”

Rod closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
