Chapter 249: Sticking to a Stance

When the sun climbed to the top of White Mountain, the supporting troops were already in the green sea at the southern foot of White Mountain-Moore Woods. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Earl Henjason was well aware of the varied terrain and the purpose of his march. The first is to cross the dense vegetation as quickly as possible, and the second is to give the monsters besieging Niermont a surprise attack and adopt counter-encirclement annihilation tactics against them.

Leaving nothing to say, the accompanying Callkande's personal guard Durant and patrol light cavalry were tasked with finding the way ahead of the supporting troops, while the Count led the stalwarts on the forest road at the foot of the mountain.

"Report! Lord of the Prairie. The Custer patrol hussars spotted multiple enemy targets in the woods ahead. About 30 monsters—" Durant, Kakhand's personal guard, who rode from the front of the line to pay his respects, paused slightly, "plus counting the lizardmonster that we haven't seen before, like a large reptile." About 30 of them. There are also seven shacks and two low outposts that have not yet been completed. ”

"Why didn't you mention it to me?" Earl Anderson suddenly looked at Ed Sharp, his gaze meaningful.

"Yes, we call it a lizardbuke. Be an accomplice with the Goblins. Ed nodded affirmatively, "By the way, I haven't even given you Baron Zax's handwritten letter." ”

"Even if you forget to show me, I know what it's written on. I'm not talking about lizardheads, as long as they're alive, they can be killed by my curved blade. I'm asking why you didn't mention that goblins and lizardbukuls built fortifications that resembled camps along the way. Earl Axel Axon waved his hand, looking into Ed Sharp's eyes.

"I really haven't encountered this before. And it must have been newly built two or three days ago, because I had been running all the way to the road. These guys must be preparing to trap our baron. Their assault must have been routed by our Sharp, the Arcandan axe guards of Chief Theoannis, and the lords of Niermont! Ed Sharp has his unique opinion.

"Hopefully that's what it looks like. However, I remember that the fortifications of Niermont were only wooden forts, and they were backed by mountains on one side; The Raqqa stronghold is backed on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Who do you think has the better chance of winning compared to the defenses of the Raqqa stronghold? Earl Anderson spoke very quickly, and an inexplicable uneasiness rose in his heart.

"Nilmont has Lord Zax, the six-foot wolf baron of the jungle! Even the most powerful knight in the royal city may not be able to defeat him! Not to mention goblins and lizardmen! I can kill one with a single sword! "Ed Sharp is confident.

"Are you Sharps so braggart? This is not a lone fight, nor is it a knight to the death, this is a war, no matter how strong the individual is, after all, he cannot defeat the intruder like a tide. I remember that Stanley, the general of the last dynasty of Grimster, died under the sword of a nobody in the army of the long-lived Segal II of the Kingdom of Rinston because of his overconfidence. When you have time, read the biographers' records. Durant glanced at Ed Sharp, but Earl Anderson's face became more and more gloomy, and he no longer paid attention to Ed Sharp beside him, but looked at the unconvinced Durant.

"You—" Ed Sharp blushed, and the words of Kakhand's personal guard made him feel like an insult.

"Stop here! Now is not the time to compete for the limelight. Durant, I wonder where the unfinished outpost is going near us? Or is it close to Niermont? Earl Anderson asked calmly, the reason why he appointed Durant was precisely because Durant paid great attention to details when dealing with things, even if his head was no different from ordinary people.

"Two unfinished checkpoints stood in the middle of the shack community that blocked the road, neither near us nor near Nilmont. I think the only explanation for the fact that the two outposts were built in the middle of the community is that they provide a lookout ring around the community, but it is not possible to build the outposts much higher than they are done, as the original construction method is simply not enough for the foundation to hold up enough height for the two outposts to have a wide enough view. Durant expressed the doubts in his heart.

"The only explanation is that this is a 'virtual camp'..."Earl Anderson's eyebrows tightened, his face suddenly clouded with gloom, and suddenly he opened his mouth to ask Durant again: "You sent the Custer patrol light cavalry to Niermont before?" ”

"Yes, two were sent. I don't know if they have bypassed the 'virtual camp' that blocked the way. Durant nodded, he could already hear the sound of horseshoes coming back behind him.

"The hooves of the horses approaching us have no intention of slowing down, the monsters know that we are coming, and have warned us that they are back, and it must be the corpses of the patrol cavalry who are returning." As soon as the earl finished speaking, two frightened steppe horses came out of the woods and horses, and sure enough, the headless corpses of two Caster patrol light cavalry were supported on horseback, "Quickly retreat, the enemy has mastered our every move!" He knew we were coming to support Nilmont! Niermont has fallen! ”

"You must have leaked the news!" Durant looked angrily at the Sharp messenger beside the earl, and then raised the hook spear in his hand and stabbed Ed Sharp, Ed Sharp fell off the horse with a spear, and the hook knife on the spear immediately swung at the neck of Ed who fell from the horse, and the neck of the Sharp tribesman immediately spewed out a blood mist, Ed Sharp stared widely, and covered his neck in pain.

"What do you do! Durant! "Earl Anderson tried to hold down Durant's stabbing hook spear, but it was too late, and Sharp's envoy was already dead.

"Master of the Prairie, this guy must be an apostate, he must have revealed our whereabouts! Deliberately tricked us into supporting Niermont. Durant spat at Ed's corpse, "Soul fall into the abyss!" Traitor! ”

"Ah, you are so simple-minded! Do you know that you have executed an innocent man, an admirable young warrior with your own hands! There is no way he has defected, otherwise how would he truthfully confess that he did not encounter the false camp you found all the way to escape! Let's say he's a renegade and has tricked us out of town now, why doesn't he wait a little longer and trick us out of the camp... It's more suitable there..."Earl Anderson scolded the reckless Durant, but dozens of cold arrows suddenly sounded in the forest, and his afterglow had already swept a cold arrow that hit him in the side of the face, and time did not allow him to raise his shield to resist.

"Forgive me! In order to put an end to possible dangers! But Durant beside Earl Henjason suddenly raised his shield, lifted his left arm to the back of Earl's ear, and blocked the deadly cold arrow that was shooting at Earl Anderson with a shield, and the smooth shield surface flashed a dazzling light, "Hurry up, Lord of the Prairie, there is an ambush in the forest!" ”

"Withdraw! Remove! Be vigilant! There is an ambush in the woods! The rear army was changed to the front army, and the front army was changed to the rear army! Do it now! Earl Henson wanted to see how many monsters were lying in ambush in the direction of the cold arrow, but the harsh sunlight cast a thick black shadow on the trees in the woods of Mor, so that it was impossible to see what was lurking in the woods.

The babbling of goblins and lizardmen filled the forest for a while, and he heard a faint roar from the direction of the Void Camp that he had detected, "That's right, they want to trap us!" Thankfully, it's only half-encircled! Retreat along the forest road in an orderly manner, taking care to avoid arrows from the south and southeast sides! ”

"They're coming from the woods!" Walking on the forest road, the soldiers of White Town looked into the woods one by one, and agile black shadows jumped up and down.

"Leave them alone! They don't dare to rush over to fight us hand-to-hand for the time being, but want to confuse us so that we will slow down our evacuation in hesitation, and delay time in order to surround us! Earl Anderson's grasp of the battlefield situation is beyond Durant's ability to match, "Soldiers, don't stop evacuating!" Raise a shield on the left flank to defend as much as possible to block the cold arrows, and rely on the soldiers on the side of the White Mountain wall to raise their bows and shoot at the guys in the woods! We must not mess with ourselves. ”

The agile goblins and lizardmen did not pick up the bargain in the roundabout, and finally couldn't suppress their thirst for blood, and they gathered together in dozens of dozens for the serpentine evacuation of the White Town reinforcements, and launched an attack on the serpentine shield array on the forest road without authorization. The withdrawal of the troops was noticeably slowed down by the constant attacks of goblins and lizardheads, and there was an almost close noise behind Count Anderson, and a large number of monsters were attacking from the direction of the virtual camp.

"The front army is in the way!" The warriors who had retreated to the front of the ranks shouted in confusion. There were already dozens of goblins and lizardmen on the forest path ahead, blocking the retreat.

"There are a large number of enemies chasing us behind!" The soldiers of the rear army shouted and trembled.

"Block!" The warriors of the Chinese army just shouted, and the goblins and lizardmen slashed with each other, and the shields shimmered slightly.

"Lord of the Prairie, we are about to be surrounded! Some of the warriors had to be sacrificed! Give the order! I'm coming to the back of the temple. "Custer's personal guard, Durant, who was protecting Earl Anderson, anxiously asked for his life.

"No, if you come to the temple with the intention of asking for forgiveness, I tell you, you don't need my forgiveness at all, what you need is Arcana's forgiveness! Now, I want you to take the Custer patrol light cavalry out of the column and crush the scattered troops of the forest, the goblins and lizardbukes, one by one. Earl Anderson looked up at the sky, sweat oozing from his forehead, "When reason can't convince you, gamble with fate for a chance!" ”

"Custer Patrol Hussar!" All the light horsemen in the column gathered behind Durant, waving a three-way mountain flag with a blue background, "I hook the spear, I must move forward bravely!" ”

"Except for Custer's personal guard Durant and Custer's patrol light cavalry attacking, the rest of the warriors are holding the ranks! Don't take the initiative! Earl Hengerson pulled the Castel Curved Sword from his waist, and the sound of the horn was already in his heart.
