Ironwood City

More than a thousand soldiers were ready to go, and this time Richard brought the elite veterans of the Flying Bear Army, as well as all the soldiers produced by the system, and the quasi-knights of several other lords such as Kleiman were also included in the army.

Fighting in the forest, the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, and the advantages of the battle array and cavalry cannot be brought into play, so they can only pursue the elite, and the jungle combat is to fight for the quality of strong individual soldiers and the will to fight.

Now there is a very paradoxical phenomenon under Richard, there are more strong people in the knight level than in the quasi-knight, and the combat power of the knight level is as many as a dozen people, and the quasi-knight is only ten people now.

Maybe in a few years, the students cultivated in the Ironwood City Academy will continue to grow, and the strength of the quasi-knight level will grow exponentially, but it will take time to slowly precipitate, time is on Richard's side, and as time goes by, Richard's power will grow faster than a snowball.

"The ogres are approaching, and if they are allowed to invade, our farmland will be trampled and our wealth will be plundered,

Our wives and children, old and young, will be reduced to their rations, can we agree? ”

"Can't!"

"Kill them all!"

Richard raised the sword in his hand and pointed it into the air.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Although the soldiers shouted along, they were actually more like they were driven by the atmosphere, the main group of soldiers in Ironwood City had not yet felt the brutality of ogres, there was no real pain and hatred, and Richard was not an all-rounder,

Although I can speak a few words, in terms of incendiary power, I am still a few levels below a master orator who dreams of becoming a painter.

However, Al and the twenty or so half-elven guides in the team roared with green tendons exposed, and their faces were flushed.

They roared until their voices were hoarse, giving Richard's pre-war mobilization a full cheer.

Richard naturally knew that this pre-war mobilization still needed to add some materials,

It was only a defensive operation to defend the homeland before, but now it has turned into an active battle in the Iron Wood Forest.

Even if the morale is acceptable now, once they encounter huge casualties, it will inevitably not make the officers and soldiers below have any thoughts.

After all, no matter from a strategic or tactical point of view, it is not a reasonable thing to enter the Iron Wood Forest to take the initiative to fight, and Richard's purpose cannot be clearly stated.

Blindly pouring chicken soup into the soldiers, so that Richard's ability to make soup for his subordinates could not be achieved, and paying equal attention to grace and power was the route Richard took.

After Richard gave him a look, Quiel, who had been waiting for a long time, beckoned a few soldiers to pull a few large boxes to the stage.

Richard himself went up and picked up the box, and the golden patch in the box was so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"On this expedition, kill an ogre and reward a kinnar, all the soldiers who go out will be rewarded, those who have made meritorious contributions can get breathing training methods, and quasi-knights who have made meritorious contributions can be rewarded with qi induction techniques."

As soon as Richard finished speaking, another cheer erupted in the ranks, which was a little more intense than before.

Richard raised his sword aloft again

"Flying Bears!"

"Win! Victory! Victory! ”

Even the slightly marginalized Kleiman and others shouted along.

Morale was finally raised to the top.

"Expedition!"

With Richard's order, the Flying Bear Army below reacted quickly, they were all a group of elite veterans, and there was no need for more restraint from the officers, and the soldiers quickly found their positions and acted in an orderly manner.

Richard, who was standing on a high place, nodded with satisfaction, and then followed the Flying Bear Army out of the city with several officers.

"Father, Ironwood City will depend on you."

This time, Viscount Sauter did not go on the expedition together, after all, there was a huge ironwood city, and there was no trustworthy knight in charge, and Richard was not very relieved.

"You don't have to worry at home, knives and guns have no eyes, but you have to be careful."

Ogres are not a good race, and their powerful Viscount Sauter had personally experienced it when he was young, so he was naturally a little worried.

"Father, rest assured."

"Don't worry, Lord Thoth, I will use my life to guard Master Richard."

As soon as Richard's words fell, Ron on the side stood up and assured.

Viscount Sauter nodded to Ron, and then looked at the fourteen tin can knights around him like Ron, and the worry just now dissipated a lot.

It seems that his worries are a little superfluous, more than a dozen knights are paired with the elite of the Flying Bear Army, and Richard is in a posture of killing chickens with a slaughtering knife.

After waving his hand to signal that Richard did not have to worry, Viscount Sauter turned around decisively and left,

It is impossible for this kind of drama to appear in the Hunter family, but Richard's mother wanted to come out and send it away, but was persuaded by Viscount Sauter to return to the Iron Wood Castle.

……

"Lord Richard, we're going to the Ironwood Grove ahead."

As a guide, Al was very conscientious and reported to Richard something that anyone who was not blind could see.

"Well, the rest of the road is up to you."

"I will not be dishonored!"

Of course, there is more than one way to enter the Iron Wood Forest, but if you want to pass through the army, you have to rely on Al and others to lead the way.

If there is a lack of guides, wandering around the forest without ogre, the Flying Bear Army itself will be in chaos.

Although Richard used to take people to hunt in the ironwood forest, the range of human activities was usually only at the edge of the ironwood forest.

Like Richard who led a large army deep into the ironwood forest, in fact, the lords of the Northland in their right heads usually don't do this kind of thing, so Richard's power is enough to organize an army to fight in the forest.

"Quiel"

"The subordinates are here!"

"The order goes down, everyone cheers up and follows the team, don't get separated."

"Yes"

It is a very terrible thing to fall behind and get lost in the forest, and more than one army in history has been trapped in the forest by more than one army.

Richard led a large army into the forest, and the march under the leadership of Al and other half-elves was quite smooth.

And the wolves and forest bears that were originally active in this season have all disappeared at this time, and it is the origin of all creatures to seek advantage and avoid harm, and more than a thousand human warriors with tenacity are the dangers that all beasts must avoid.

It was getting late, and Al and the others led the army to a small lake in the ironwood forest, which was quite flat and suitable for camping.

"My lord, I'll camp here tonight, and I'll be able to arrive at Muzhai tomorrow."

"Hmm"

Al couldn't hide his excitement in the report, and when he came to this familiar place, the unsuppressed hatred memories surged up like a wave, making Al eager to rush to the wooden village immediately and kill the group of ogres who occupied his homeland and slaughtered his people.

"Al, you take the people to rest well tonight and recuperate their spirits."

"Yes, sir."

Al left excited, not knowing if he would be able to sleep tonight.

"Quill, arrange the sentry and patrol, and don't let the ogres sneak up."

"Yes, sir."

This is already an area where ogres can operate, and the royal griffin's ability to detect in the forest has been greatly reduced, and the sentry is even more important.

The sky was completely dark, the campfire was shaking, the whole camp gradually quieted down, and Richard and the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army soon fell asleep.

The elite veterans of the Flying Bear Army will not be excited by the battle of the next day at all, but will better cherish sleep, nourish their spirits, and maintain sufficient physical strength for the next day's battle......
