Chapter 53: To each his own mind
It's rare to have a sunny day in the North Demon Plain!
Even on a sunny day, you can't see the blue sky and white clouds. Looking up, there is only a foggy sky and an off-white sun.
Slowly entering the summer, the white ice field has a touch of greenery, especially in the coastal area of the south coast, you can see some grass and green trees everywhere, as well as colorful wildflowers, yellow silk chrysanthemum, dandelion, orchid grass, ice poppy...... Most of them are relatively short, but they still grow tenaciously.
Thirty miles away from Spindle Valley, a team of only a few hundred men in bright armor and a strong aura was slowly moving slowly on the narrow pavement of the ice field. The leader was dressed in silver soft armor, a white horse under his crotch, and a black long sword behind him, with broad shoulders and broad back, a tall figure, brown hair and gray eyes, and a very handsome appearance, but there was always a bloodthirsty smile on his face, which destroyed the sense of coordination of the whole person.
Hor is a sixth-level warrior from the family of Count Max in the Nolan Empire, and has been trained in various martial arts since he was a child, especially in swordsmanship. He joined the army at the age of 16 and was promoted to deputy commander at the age of 28 for his military exploits, but he was accused by his subordinates of abusing and killing prisoners of war in the battalion, expelled by the army, and finally sentenced to exile to the Northern Demon Plain.
Hor didn't think there was anything wrong with his approach, and his heart had been depressed, and after coming to the Northern Demon Plain, in order to survive, he found an opportunity to join the horse thief ice thief group. Although the Tumen Leopard is cruel and murderous, he is quite good at people, seeing that Hall is good at talking and talking extraordinary, he is very important to him, and he also complains about what happened to him, which makes Halton feel like he has met a confidant, and he also works harder and harder for Tumen Leopard. Hauer's experience in marching and being a horse thief made him a similar smell to Tuman Leopard, and it didn't take long for Tuman Leopard to make him the commander of the Ice Riding Battalion. Hor did not disappoint the Tumen Leopard, and during the continuous expansion of the Ice Pirates, he led the Ice Riding Battalion to several big victories one after another, so that the Tumen Leopard increased in power within a few years.
Thinking of the pain of his opponent before death, Hor felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart, and he licked his lips with an indescribable evil look, and the members of the Ice Riding Camp couldn't help but avoid his gaze.
Not far behind the ice cavalry camp was a large army of ice pirates led by Tumen Leopard, with a total of 2,000 people.
The encirclement and suppression mission released by the Jin family this time has a bounty of up to two million gold coins! On top of that, there are additional bonuses! Maybe in the eyes of the Jin family, this amount of money may not be a lot, but for them, horse thieves who have no business, it is undoubtedly a heart-warming number.
With the stimulation of money and the factor of revenge, it can be said that the ice pirates almost came out of the nest for this mission.
After advancing more than ten miles, the ice pirate group arrived at the stationing place, and after the team was stationed, Tumen Leopard sent people to investigate the whereabouts of several other teams. It didn't take long for the subordinates in charge of the investigation to report that the Wild Fox Regiment and the Frost Regiment had already arrived at the predetermined position, and the Frost Regiment and the Wild Fox Regiment were respectively in Sandaohai, 5 miles north of their side, and Yungangpo, 5 miles to the west, only the White Horse Regiment was still missing.
"Brewster, this old fox, why hasn't he come yet?" Tumen Leopard stood in the makeshift camp with a gloomy face, muttering quietly. Although he is proud and arrogant, he is still a little jealous of the White Horse Regiment. The members of the White Horse Regiment are generally hunters, and they are not only numerous, but also very brave in battle. What's more, Brewster, the leader of the White Horse Regiment, is a well-known treacherous and cunning, and his brother, "Bear Man" Victor, is also a sixth-level wrestler, and the White Horse Guard led by him is brave and good at fighting, even if Lord's ice riding battalion shoots, it is estimated that it will not take advantage of anything.
"Is he going to keep this bounty to himself?" Tumen Leopard's triangular eyes flickered, and he was secretly thinking in his heart.
Tumen Leopard knew very well in his heart that although these thirteen teams came for the same goal, there was a lot of competition between them, and they were not united, to put it bluntly, it was a question of how to divide the spoils. So he thought of forming an alliance, and the four of them joined forces to contain those bandits while taking the opportunity to eliminate the target in Spindle Valley, then, the final bounty was divided equally between the four of them, and his strength was second only to the White Horse Regiment, and he had at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins in his hand, which was enough for him to be free for a while.
Compared with these horse thieves, the quality of the nine tributary bandits is uneven, except for the barbarian battalion with 4,000 brothers, and the iron wolf and unicorn are slightly larger, the others are small bandits who want to take advantage of the fire to rob. But as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, and these nine tributary bandits add up to tens of thousands of people, if there is no participation of the White Horse Regiment, only the three horse thieves will implement this plan, even if the barbarian camp does not come out, I am afraid that the difficulty will not be small.
"The White Horse Regiment must be brought in, otherwise no one will be able to restrain the powerful barbarian battalion!"
Tumen Leopard is plotting a plan, but in fact, some of the bandits have the same idea as him.
The entrance to Spindle Valley faces west, so from the perspective of camp distribution, horse thieves are stationed on the south side of Spindle Valley, while the bandit camp is mainly distributed on the north side of Spindle Valley, with one south and one north sandwiched around Spindle Valley.
Ten miles northwest of the Spindle Valley, under the slope of the mountain, is the camp of the bandit unicorns.
The Unicorn Regiment has nearly 1,000 members, and it is the third largest bandit organization in the Northern Demon Plain, but compared with the scale of more than 4,000 people in the barbarian camp, the third unicorn group seems to be a bit unworthy of the name, only equivalent to the size of two small bandit groups, so its position among the bandits is rather awkward.
The boss of the unicorn is called Jin Yuan is a strong man with a huge waist and a round waist, his physical characteristics are obvious, that is, there is a fist-sized sarcoma on the top of his head, Jin Yuan is an ambitious person, he knows the current situation of the unicorn group very well, so he also attaches great importance to this mission.
Their thirteen teams combined were 20,000 people, ten times the number of each other, and they had obvious advantages. As far as he knew, it seemed that the Spindle Valley was full of half-grown children and horse thieves captives, and the real combat effectiveness was only three or five hundred guards, if these people could be taken down alone and get this bounty, the unicorn group could annex some small bandit groups, and in a short period of time, it would develop rapidly and shorten the gap with the boss barbarian camp.
The problem is that the Spindle Valley is sandwiched between the mountains, the entrance is too narrow and long, and it is not easy to defend and attack, and at the same time, the other party seems to have noticed that it has been unable to shrink for the past two days, and it seems that it is ready to hold on for a long time.
"Gotta find a way to lure these guys out!" Jin Yuan stood in the camp, looking at the Spindle Valley in the distance, and had a headache!
"Boss, I have an idea!" The master beside him saw his thoughts, rolled his eyes, and stepped forward to say.
"Oh? Tell me about it? Jin Yuan knew that his master couldn't command the war, but his stomach was bad, and he might have thought of some kind of ghost idea.
"The mouth of this Spindle Valley is narrow, and the other side can't shrink into it, but it is surrounded by low mountains, although they are a little steep, but if you find some good brothers, you should be able to climb those mountains. Then use the rope to descend into the valley, take advantage of its unpreparedness, control the entrance, and then we rush in while the chaos is in place, won't we solve the other party? ”
"That's right!" Jin Yuan thought about his master's words carefully, and felt that it made sense, so he couldn't help but nod, and then patted him on the shoulder to show his approval.
"Good! Do as you say! ”
