Chapter 22: The Battle of the Gray Valley (5)

A group of remnants returned to the Greystone Valley.

Less than ten orc infantry returned alive.

The Shanyue people suffered even more losses, leaving less than 2,000 men.

"Chase!"

"Strike and kill that demon!"

Rhodes suffered a major defeat, and Kilberd's army was obviously not going to let go of this fighter.

At the suggestion of his staff member Hubert, Kilburnd's army, led by the Earl himself, attacked Rhodes' lair.

Outside the Greystone Valley, a large number of Shanyue people gathered outside the valley with torches.

Rod was disgraced and led a group of Shanyue people to Chen soldiers at a pass outside the valley.

In the distance, torches converged into a long dragon, shouting and killing.

Occam carried the mountain on his back and ran with a few remnants of soldiers with bloody faces.

"My lord, the situation is not good, the enemy army has caught up. ”

Occam said breathlessly.

Rod nodded and took a deep breath.

I didn't expect the distance between victory and defeat to be so close, it was heaven in the last second, and at this time it was already in hell.

"Occam, take the mountain back to the valley. ”

"Inform everyone to put out the torches now and prepare for battle. ”

Rod commanded.

Occam glanced at the remnants of the soldiers beside him, and there was some concern in his eyes.

"What are you going to do, my lord? There are so many enemy troops that these people alone can't hold it. ”

"It's just luck. ”

Rod said with a wry smile.

Looking around, Rod whispered, "All of you stand down, lurk, and don't make a sound." ”

Rod whispered a few more words.

In the end, only a flickering torch was left on the hill, and Rhodes was alone.

I thought that relying on the lord template, I could naturally occupy a territory unharmed, slowly figure it out, and develop slowly.

But now it seems that he is too naΓ―ve.

If you think more, take it one step at a time.

Rod closed his eyes, then slapped his face sullenly, now was not the time to complain about himself.

Occam took the order and left.

Entering the far pass of the Greystone Valley, the shadow of Kilbord's army appeared in front of him.

Riding a steed covered in silver armor, the Earl of Kilburn slowly walked to the pass, and by the light of the fire, he could see the thin young man with black hair and black eyes on the pass.

"Luo Qing, I've wanted to see you for a long time. ”

Kilberd's words were full of coldness, and you could see the bitter hatred in his eyes.

The Earl of Kilburn was ill and had been left behind on the battlefield in his early years, and if nothing else, he had only the only son in his life.

The death of an only son is equivalent to the severance of his bloodline.

Now, all the plans of the old and new nobles have been forgotten, and he just wants to kill the person in front of him.

"I don't want to see Your Excellency the Earl at all. ”

"I'm sorry that Aiko died unexpectedly, but I wasn't the one who started this war. ”

Rod stood up and patted the dust off his buttocks.

"The head of the great man is here, please take it. ”

The Earl narrowed his eyes and looked at the demon in front of him, and he suddenly felt a little confused about the reality of this person.

There was a rush of footsteps behind him.

Hubert quietly leaned over to the Count and whispered.

"My lord, the sentry has come to report that there are a lot of torches lit in the Graystone Valley just now, and it should be reinforcements preparing to leave the valley, and the number is no less than 10,000. ”

After a pause, Hubert said again: "Eugene also sent a battle report, and the orc army under the command of this lord has only appeared with less than two thousand people. ”

"This lord is alone here, and if the Earl rashly leads his troops, he will be deceitful. ”

The Earl's eyes changed, and he stared at the young man on the hill.

"The revenge of killing my son is not shared, if I just let him go like this, how can I have the face to face my tragic son!"

The Count said with a low roar, and the horse under his seat also sensed his master's emotion, and began to stomp his horse's hooves uneasily.

Hubert looked at the lord on the hill.

Rhodes looked at him the same.

If nothing else, he is the mastermind behind Rhodes' defeat.

"In this case, the Earl may as well send a suspicious army to attack it, probe the truth and make a decision. ”

"Lord Viscount has already raised his army in the starry night, and when Lord Wallace arrives, this battle will be won with certainty. ”

"Don't get carried away by hatred, adults. ”

After listening to Hubert, Kilbird nodded and issued the order.

Soon, an army of about three thousand men pounced on the pass where Rhodes was located.

"Heaven will kill me. ”

Rhodes looked up at the sky, bitter in his heart.

"Kill!"

"Those who take Rhode's head will be promoted to three levels!

"Kill!"

The shouts of the army were deafening, and they rushed up the hill.

Luo Yan gestured behind him and clenched the sword in his hand.

Lord Lord is using his example as bait, and in this battle, there must be enough gains!

The Shanyue people were prostrate on the ground, and the cold gravel made everyone extremely sober.

A small half of the enemy had already rushed through their ambush positions, but not a single one of them moved.

Luoyan was already a little impatient, but looking at the lord on the hill, he forcibly calmed himself.

Suddenly, the lord extinguished the torches beside him.

Luo Yan's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the ground with a loud shout.

"Shanyue people, kill with me!"

A thousand Shanyue people shouted and fought with the Kilberd army.

Hubert watched the bloody battle on the hill from the bottom of the hill and burst out laughing.

The ambush was only so little, far less than he expected.

He had planned to send these 3,000 soldiers to a defeat, so that the Earl would have enough reason to retreat.

But now it seems that I have thought too much.

It's ridiculous that I was almost bluffed by this lord.

Hubert reacted, looking at the vague figure of the demon on the hill, his eyes full of admiration.

With such an empty army, this lord must have divided his troops in two directions.

In other words, the alliance between the Earl and the Viscount that they secretly thought was unaware has been known.

A strange army will attack the viscount lord and come to his aid.

It is rumored that this demon descendant had an elite wolf rider under his command when he conquered the barren lands, but no one was seen at this time.

"Lord Earl, this is a chance to win!"

"Please attack with all your troops, win this battle, and the barren land will be in the pockets of your lords!"

Hubert said excitedly.

Earl Kilburn licked his lips and looked at the group of Shanyue people on the hill who had been killed by his soldiers.

A group of barbarians, what are they afraid of?

There is no need for Hubert to speak, he also wants to press the whole army.

Hubert's admonition confirmed his thoughts even more.

"All the troops are attacking!"

"Those who behead Rhode's head will be added to the rank of knight, and the bounty will be 30,000!"

The Earl drank heavily, and the whole army of Kilberd pressed down.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good!"

An embarrassed knight galloped from a distance.

"Lord Earl, the slaves and civilians in charge of escorting supplies in the rear have begun to roar! ”

"A wolf rider has pounced on the rear of our army and is coming at us!"

The Earl's waved hand froze in place, and the generals under his command looked at each other.

......

Rhodes, who was looking at the sky, suddenly smirked.

Under the night sky, behind Kilberd's army, there was a sea of fire.

"Hahaha......"

Suddenly crying and laughing, Rod bent down and sat on the ground, staring at the sky in a daze.

Olmers, saved his life.
