A group of envoys departed from the city of Bergas.

In the evening, the Earl of Kilburn received the order from the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke allowed Cyngam to send troops and would not provide shelter to either side.

"All the troops are attacking!"

The Earl gave the order, and the troops marched out of camp and headed for the barren lands.

This time, the Grand Duke gathered and gathered his lords, and gathered 20,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry.

There were as many as 50,000 slaves and men in charge of forced labor.

In the mountains and forests, a sentry discovered the movement of the front army, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the graystone valley.

......

Barren land.

A well-groomed army began to pull out the camp.

During this time, Rhodes used all the production capacity of the barracks to produce wolf cavalry, and upgraded the barracks to the third level.

During this time, a total of 1,200 wolf cavalry were trained.

During this time, Rhodes' income from the sale of ore and the income from the looting of barren lands were almost all smashed on this wolf cavalry.

The number of the two hundred orc infantry did not increase, but everyone was a fierce elite.

Twelve hundred wolf riders were handed over to Olmers, and the two said goodbye outside the valley.

"I wish you a triumphant return. Rod helped Olmers onto his horse and said with a smile.

"I will live up to the high expectations of my lord. Olmers said in a serious tone.

It was the first battle of his career, and Rhodes handed over the most elite troops under his command to him.

In this battle, victory is not allowed to lose.

Olmers led a thousand wolf riders and disappeared at the end of the wilderness.

However, the direction in which he was going was not the place where the Earl of Kilburn had led his troops to attack.

The direction in which Olmers marched was the Mivo Woodland, the fief of Viscount Wallace.

"Full of mountains, Helik, ready for war. ”

Rhodes gave the order, and a team rallied in front of him.

The first to line up were the Shanyue people, a total of 5,000 people.

Thanks to the recalcitrant gentry in the barren land, now all the Shanyue people have changed to new equipment, and the overall strength has risen a little.

They were followed by the former bandits led by Helik.

There were 2,000 men in all, all cavalry.

and two hundred orc infantry led by Occam.

Seven thousand battles, twenty-five thousand, and it is very likely that there will even be follow-up reinforcements.

Nor can food reserves be fought for long.

This is a war that must be resolved quickly.

Sitting on the ground and walking on the dragon, the army slowly pulled out.

The barren land is all wilderness and low hills, and there is almost no danger to defend.

Rhodes and Olmers split up, and Rod's strategic task was to hold back Earl Kilburn.

During this time, Rhodes relied on the topography to build many camps, and dozens of large camps were connected in a line, which can be called a wonder on the barren land.

And in the graystone valley of his old nest, only Luoyan led a thousand Shanyue people to stay.

......

The main account of the army of Qingyan City.

A group of lords, staff stood on either side.

Lord Kilberd, with his sideburns slightly frosted, looked at the map in front of him, and discussed it with his subordinates in conjunction with the military reports from the sentinels.

"Guys, it seems that I think highly of that demon. ”

Throwing away the charcoal in his hand, the Count sneered.

"On this unsafe wilderness, dozens of camps have been set up, this demon descendant is underestimating us?"

"Who dares to take the lead for me and frustrate his spirit!"

As soon as the earl's words fell, a middle-aged soldier with a strong body walked and appeared.

He has a bear's waist, a bald head, a beard, and heavy armor.

"Eugene is willing to fight!"

The strong man said in a deep voice, bowing down to fight.

Eugene, Kilberd's most warlike general, a hero-level powerhouse.

A fierce general in battle, with brilliant achievements.

"Okay, I'll make you the vanguard, take the lead for me!" Before the earl could finish speaking, a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a shabby cloth robe stood up in a very sinister manner.

Seeing this guy, many generals and staff frowned, and a few guys with bad intentions even sneered.

"My lord, I don't think this battle is appropriate. The middle-aged man bowed and said.

Kilburn frowned, already a little unhappy in his heart, but he still patiently asked, "What's wrong?"

"That Lord Rhodes ruled the barren land with lightning speed and swept away the thieves, and he must be a man who knows the soldiers. ”

"And a man who knows the army must have a plan to build dozens of camps on this wilderness. ”

"Your Excellency, you have to guard against it. ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he bowed his head deeply, and his words were extremely sincere.

The Earl of Kilburn stroked his beard and began to groan.

"Nonsense!"

A disdainful sneer rang out, attracting the earl's attention.

A staff member with a thin face, extremely well-dressed, and quite scholarly temperament stepped forward.

"Cowardice before fighting, this is a taboo for soldiers!"

"It's true that the demon descendant has conquered the barren land for a short time, but the enemies he faces are a bunch of native chickens and dogs. ”

"The sentry has reported several times that the Graystone Lord is less than 10,000 soldiers. And the Earl, with the strength of ten thousand armies, gathered elite soldiers to stand in front of the battle, although the enemy army has not fought!"

"The morale of the soldiers under the command of the lord is high and the fighting spirit is high. The camps were like the tombs that the lord had built for him. ”

"If you send troops at this time, you will surely win a great victory! At that time, Lord Earl will bring the power of ten thousand victories, how dare the rats in this barren land not look forward to the wind!"

The scholar spoke generously, and the earl and the soldiers nodded their heads one after another.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and couldn't help but say again: "My lord, there is no arable land in the barren land, the Graystone Lord has tens of thousands of slaves and thousands of troops, and the food reserves will definitely not be able to support a long war. ”

"The lord only needs to besiege and not attack, cut off his food route, and within a month, the earl does not need to consume a single soldier, and the enemy army will break itself. ”

The Earl of Kilburn hesitated, and the scholar spoke generously again.

"Hubert, you deceived me Kilbold into leading the unbeatable?"

"Our army is coming violently, but it is stuck here like a guard dog, how do you let the world view us!"

"My lord, this is a fighter, and it is a chance to win!"

The middle-aged man named Hubert wanted to say more, but he only heard the earl's angry shout.

"Enough!"

"Eugene, lead 10,000 troops, defeat this thief for me!"

Eugene obeyed his orders and left glaring at Hubert fiercely.

Soon, 10,000 troops, under the leadership of General Eugene, rushed towards the camp built by Rhodes.

......

In a humble main tent.

Rhodes stood in the center, with only a handful of people around him.

Outside the camp, the trumpets of enemy troops sounded.

"It seems that this Earl is even more breathless than I thought. Rod said.

He thought that even if the Earl attacked, he would take advantage of the night to attack.

It was so straight that he pounced.

It seems that he is really underestimated.

But it's a good thing.

"Helik, you lead the army to engage in battle first, you can not win if you are defeated, your task is to lure the enemy deeper. ”

Rod also instructed the mountain in Shanyue.

"The mountains are full, after Hailik is defeated and retreats, you lead three thousand Shanyue people to attack, and you are also allowed to defeat but not win. ”

Finally, Rod looked at Occam.

"You lead two hundred orcs and hide them in the tunnels we have dug, and remember not to show a single movement. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no reason why the earl should not accept such a large gift. ”
