Chapter 271: War Again
Let a small nobleman be the commander of an entire army, that is only a last resort.
In the difficult period after the fall of Fort Riptide, only Amaron's command skills were enough to serve as the commander of the Refuge Valley, and it was precisely because of her command that the Refuge Valley was not captured by the army of the undead.
Therefore, Amalon was able to sit in the position of commander of the army all the time.
However, when the crisis passed and the situation in the Valley of Refuge improved, all kinds of opposition appeared, and it was very irritating for many to put a small nobleman in the high position of commander. In this class-oriented world, the aristocracy looked down on the commoners, and the big nobles in the aristocracy looked down on the small nobles, especially a small nobleman with a broken family.
Why can a small aristocrat like Amaron be on an equal footing with us big aristocrats, or even have a higher status?
This cry became higher and higher as the army of the undead retreated, and the Valley of Refuge became safer, and although Prince Galen was still reusing Amaron, her status had obviously declined a lot, and many nobles did not buy her account at all, especially the children of vassal families who had taken refuge in the Torbane family.
Prince Galen's attitude towards this is almost unconcerned, after all, those people are the foundation of the Torbaine family, if they have problems, the foundation of the family will be shaken, so between Amaron and these nobles, Prince Galen chose the latter.
In his mind, the trust of Amaron was enough for this female warrior from a small aristocratic background to be loyal to him, and besides, didn't he still reuse Amaron? A few minor grievances are nothing.
Galen's silence is tantamount to connivance, he worked hard to command the army to fight in times of crisis, and when the situation improves, you do this to me? No one will be convinced. As a result, Amarron's resentment grew, and the more resentment she accumulated, the more fierce her revenge on the Torbain family.
Prince Galen was too self-righteous, why did he think that Amaron would be willing to bear the grievances? Just because he's a prince? It's ridiculous.
Let's not say that Amalen is already dissatisfied with the Torbane family, let's just say that with the resurgence of the Lothar family, it is impossible for Amalen to just choose to hang himself on the crooked neck tree of his Torbane family.
What happened in the Valley of Refuge was no longer of concern to Leo now, and his eyes were on the allied army of Aratho, led by Marshal Oslet, which had already left the Valley of Refuge and was heading for the Geshak Farm.
There is another war, and my army of skeletons is going to increase again.
Standing on Pelicion's head and looking down at the Araço coalition army thousands of meters below, the corners of Leo's mouth outlined a hint of a smile.
Marshal Oslet had no idea that the army he was leading had been targeted by a terrible fellow, and that he was doomed to be gone after coming out of the Valley of Refuge.
The actions of the Valley of Refuge are destined to cause a series of chain reactions, and in this world with stalkers, it is difficult to hide the actions of the army, and the moment Marshal Oslet led the Alasso army out of the Valley of Refuge, the army of the undead had already received the news.
At the same time, the Stormwind Expeditionary Force in Deadwood Village also went into action.
The allied forces of Araso in the Valley of Refuge and the Storm Expeditionary Force in Deadwood Village sent troops at the same time, and the two armies went straight to Geshak Farm, and the undead suddenly realized that the two sides had joined forces, and the undead army began to shrink, and they put on the posture of Chen Bing Geshak, waiting for the arrival of the two human armies, and the great war was about to break out.
The atmosphere in the Arathi Heights suddenly became tense.
The clouds of war loomed over the Arathi Heights again, but perhaps because Pelision had flown too high, the clouds did not reach Leo's head, and he was waiting for the clash between Field Marshal Oslet's allied forces and the undead.
Didn't it say that Hammer Town had received reinforcements from the Dark City, it stands to reason that the strength of the undead is superior, how could they put on a posture of shrinking their forces?
Leo thought it strange that the greatest advantage of the undead army over humans was that they were tireless, and that the tactics of Chen Bing Geshak to wait for work were far less useful than sending troops to disturb the human march and make the opponent tired.
What the hell is the undead commander up to?
Or rather, what kind of machinations are there among the undead?
The greatest advantage of the undead and the best tactics they should implement can be seen even by a guy like Leo, who only knows a thing or two about marching combat, and a veteran general like Marshal Oslett can't see through it?
Fearing the calculations of the undead, Marshal Oslet was very careful in directing the march of his army, so that under the normal march, it would have taken only ten days to travel, and the Alasso army had traveled less than a third of the distance in five days.
However, after five days, the march of the entire Alasso coalition army more than doubled, as their allies, the Stormwind Expeditionary Force from Deadwood Village under Major Grian, were attacked by a large army of undead.
The commander of the undead took advantage of Field Marshal Oslet's cautious fear of being ambushed, and slowed down the pace of the Alasko coalition without a single soldier, and while Oslet's army was still advancing cautiously, the undead had already gathered an army of 100,000 and set out from Hammer Town to attack the 30,000 Storm Expeditionary Force led by Major Grian.
Faced with an enemy three times their size, Grian's Stormwind Expeditionary Force resisted hard.
After receiving this news, Oslet naturally couldn't sit still, and he had to quickly lead his army to attack Geshak in order to share the pressure on Grian.
It's surprising that the army of the undead would target the Stormwind Expeditionary Force first.
You must know that the Alaskol coalition led by Oslet is the main force of the human army this time, and the biggest obstacle to the undead occupying the Arathi Heights is also the army of the Arathor Kingdom, and the Storm Expeditionary Force is only here to help, once the Arathor coalition army is defeated, Stormwind City may not continue to fight to the death with the undead for the sake of the Arathi Heights, after all, the Stormwind Kingdom also has its own enemies.
Instead of hitting the master, he beat the helper, is the undead deliberately choosing a soft persimmon with fewer troops to pinch, or is it ...... As Leo pondered, the ravens he had sent out to explore the path had returned an important message that made Leo understand that the undead's goal had never changed, and that their focus was not on Grian's Stormstorm Expeditionary Force at all.
The allied forces of Arathso, led by Marshal Oslet, were marching at the fastest pace, and due to the speed of the march, many places did not have time to be examined, which gave their opponents a chance.
Marshal Oslet, who was marching, suddenly found that the surrounding environment was a little blurry, and a wave of magic fluctuations loomed out, and the marshal who led the army was suddenly startled in his heart.
"Stop the march and line up for defense!"
Oslet shouted, and the sudden order caused the allied forces of Araso to twitch in the hurry. At this moment, a gloomy voice suddenly came: "Have you finally found out?" It's just a pity that you woke up too late. ”
The gloomy sound of the undead filled his ears, and Oslet's heart sank, and he knew that he had been ambushed.
The soldiers of the Alasso coalition army suddenly found that the scenery around them had changed greatly, and countless pairs of white and miserable arms appeared in the blink of an eye, and then, in a cloud of dirt, one by one the undead lifted the mud and sand on the surface and crawled out of the ground.
"We've fallen into the trap of the undead!"
"Oh my God, we're surrounded!"
The procession, which had been a little chaotic, became chaotic when it found itself in the encirclement of the enemy, and even the loud shouts of the officers could not stop the various shouts of panic.
Leo in the sky shook his head secretly, it was not a good thing that the army was expanding too quickly.
If the army led by Field Marshal Oslet was all composed of veterans who had fought hard in the Valley of Refuge, they would have been able to set up their positions in accordance with the officers' commands in the event of a sudden change, but due to the rapid expansion of the army during this period, the proportion of recruits in the ranks had increased greatly, and the number of recruits who had not experienced the baptism of war had far exceeded the number of veterans.
Seeing that the opponent was in chaos, how could the undead army let go of such a good opportunity, and in the cry of "For the Queen", the undead army launched an attack on the human army in chaos.
The battle has officially begun.
"Steady, don't panic, form a formation to defend against the enemy!"
A human officer was shouting at his subordinates, but there were only a dozen veterans who obeyed his orders, and more than eighty percent of the hundreds of recruits were in a state of confusion, facing the army of the undead for the first time, and they didn't know what to do when they went to the battlefield for the first time. You must know that they are only farmers who have just laid down their hoes for less than two months, and in the face of the terrifying army of the undead, it is already very good that they did not throw down their weapons and flee for their lives.
It's a very dangerous thing to be at a loss on the battlefield, because you don't know what your opponents will do, they will cut you like a headless fly to a headless corpse when you don't know what to do, and your life is just a wave of a weapon in their hands for them.
In the chaos, recruits are cut down like grass under the attack of the army of the undead, and these recruits pay expensive tuition fees on the battlefield - their lives.
One by one, their companions were killed by the undead, and some of the recruits were terrified and unmotivated, while others were the complete opposite, and under the leadership of officers and veterans, they quickly formed a military formation and fought against the undead.
As the battle progressed, the unmotivated recruits died one by one, while the soldiers who fought hard to fight the undead survived.
The battlefield is like this, the more timid you are, the more you want to run for your life, the easier it is to die.
