In the tent, Sir Hanwick and the lords and knights had just listened to the scout's report on the surrounding situation, and waved him down to rest, and before he could speak, a surprise shout suddenly came from beside him: "Father!"

Sir Hanwick shook, this is, this is little Jack's voice, close to his ears, but what about people?

In the void beside him, Master Li Xun suddenly appeared, nodded to Sir with a smile, and said, "Lord Sir, look who is back." ”

By Master Li Xun's side, Little Jack also suddenly appeared and plunged into Jazz's arms.

The lords and knight leaders retreated in shock, only Sir put his arms around little Jack and muttered. Li Xun found a chair and sat down to recuperate, waiting for everyone to return to normal.

The people in the tent repeatedly expressed the mage's miracle, and congratulated Sir on being able to get his young son back before the battle, so that he could avoid worries, and they were full of confidence in tomorrow's battle.

Li Xun also briefly recounted what he saw in the enemy's camp, especially mentioning the issue of the number of people, and said that he would immediately go to the vicinity to reconnoiter and see what they were really doing! Then, without stopping, he went out of the tent to replenish himself with "stealth" and "levitation techniques," and began to step on the branches of the trees and float towards the side of the camp.

An hour later, Li Xun hurried back to the camp with great interest, and marked two locations on the map for Sir Hanwick and the others, 200 thieves in a hidden place 3 miles away on the left side of the coalition army, and 100 thieves in a hidden place 4 miles away on the right, apparently planning to attack the coalition army from both sides at a critical time when the war began tomorrow.

After explaining the topography of the two locations, Li Xun yawned and hurriedly returned to the camp tent prepared for him, burying his head in a big sleep, his consumption tonight is not small, and he has continuously performed "stealth" and "levitation" to squeeze his mana dry, if he doesn't hurry up to rest and restore his state mana, how to deal with tomorrow's big war?

After falling asleep, Li Xunzhi woke up proud, but his stomach was grumbling with hunger, and he hurriedly ordered the food to be served, and while eating, he listened to the captain of the guard guarding the camp to convey Sir Hanwick's battle plan.

After finishing his work last night, Li Xun went back to the camp and couldn't sleep, but Sir Hanwick and the lords and knights discussed the whole night and reached a final battle plan:

The two lords led their private army and the city guards of Naya City, a total of 1,200 people, arrived at the 1 mile of the blood axe thieves' camp 1 mile, bluffed, surrounded and not attacked, but prepared to meet the impact of the thieves group, and 1 lord and 2 knight leaders led 600 private troops to deploy on the right side of the coalition army, monitoring the movement of the 100 hidden points on the right.

Sir Hanwick led 800 of his own private army to the 200-man hiding point of the thieves on the left, trying to clear the dagger hiding behind it in one fell swoop. The chief of the knight's guard was stationed outside the mage's tent to convey the entire battle plan to the mage, and asked the mage to support Sir Hanwick's battlefield at his convenience.

Li Xun ate and drank heavily, silently, figuring out this battle plan, and still agreed with it in his heart. It seems that Astelli Bloodaxe intends to personally lead 400 men to defend the lair to lure the coalition army into a fierce attack, and when the coalition army is tired, he will use a three-way flank attack to defeat the coalition army in one fell swoop. This plan is very dangerous, and the danger is to divide the already small number of thieves into three, and if you succeed, you will win a big victory, and if you lose, you will be crushed.

Sir Hanwick and other high-ranking coalition forces also responded to this situation, using 1,200 people, including the most elite Naya City Guards, to block Astelli Bloodaxe in the lair, and also defended the small group of thieves on the right, striving for Sir Hanwick to lead the team to break the largest dagger on the left first.

Originally, the best way was to attack in two ways, attacking these two hidden points at the same time, but after all, it was a risk, in case of a mistake in a certain way, it would bury the opportunity to eat the enemy, so in order to fight steadily, the right side is still mainly to defend against enemy attacks, and a large number of knights are transferred to Sir Hanwick to strengthen the strength of the left side, and eat the 200 thieves in one fell swoop to lay the victory, and then try to grasp the victory.

After eating and drinking, Li Xun rushed to the battlefield on the left side accompanied by the chief of the guard. 3 miles, it really passed in a flash, and when I arrived at the battlefield, the battle was raging. The thieves were obviously unprepared for the coalition to attack, and the col where they were hiding was mainly hidden, and there was no strong camp to defend against.

The coalition forces had been prepared for this for a long time, mainly shield men and spearmen in the front, and hunters in the back launched a diffuse fire, spreading death to the thieves as much as they could. The thieves' equipment is disorganized, there is basically no armor, there is not much leather armor, most of them are still cloth and leather robes, there is really no defense against bows and arrows, and the thieves who are entangled with shield soldiers and spearmen immediately suffered a big loss, and they all screamed and fell to the ground, and the whole situation is very good.

Li Xun came to Sir Hanwick's banner and was warmly welcomed by Sir Huenwick and several knights. After a few days of getting along, everyone has become familiar with each other, and they all hope to have more contact with Master Li Xun, after all, there is a formal mage as a magic consultant, which is something that ordinary little nobles dare not think of! The battle situation in front is obviously biased towards the side of the coalition army, and everyone is also calm, thinking about how to establish greater feats, so when the berserker of the 7th level of the Blood Axe Thieves Group led people to frantically rush away from the shield array and slash the spearmen, several knights immediately asked for orders to attack.

Although Li Xun also had this experience, he didn't dare to stop everyone's eagerness to make meritorious contributions, so he had to accompany the jazz to press the formation, watching from a distance as several knights wearing armor and shields withstood the berserker's giant axe with their guards, resealing the gap in the shield array, and surrounded several people who rushed into the shield array with the berserkers, slashing spears and piercing the spears, and soon there was only one berserker left in the reluctant support, with an unwilling howl, the berserker was also pierced through the chest by a sword and fell to the ground.

The ensuing battle was lackluster, it was simply a massacre, and the thieves who had lost their leader and lost their terrain had no way to retreat, and they were slashed and killed on the spot, which became the merit of the coalition army. Sir had long since ordered that no prisoners should be kept, which was also the custom in the Duchy of Novis.

Before the end of the morning, the whole battle was over, after the battle, 50 people were left to clean up the battlefield, and 700 people of the entire left army immediately returned to the army camp, and 600 people of the right lord's private army were gathered, leaving 300 people to defend the camp, and 1000 people were made up to go straight to the hidden point of the thieves on the right, and the 100 thieves were successfully eliminated in the afternoon, which made Li Xun feel incredible.

Only then did Li Xun realize the importance of intelligence to a war. If we did not have accurate information provided by ourselves, how could such a mixed contingent of the coalition forces dare to divide troops for defense! How could we dare to dispatch elite troops to attack the enemy's henchmen! I was also too concerned about it, and I was always worried that if I didn't do it well, it would affect my "sea of bones" plan.

When the coalition forces returned to camp after two great victories, their momentum reached their peak, and they immediately attacked with great force, rushed to the old lair of the Blood Axe, and together with the 1,200 men here, they picked up the head of the berserker and launched a fierce attack on the enemy camp.

It was a battle to be won, the coalition generals raised their eyebrows, urging their private troops to fight bravely and climb up the camp regardless of casualties, while the resistance of the thieves appeared weak, and Astelli Bloodaxe did not show up at all, and the whole resistance quickly collapsed with the fall of the main gate of the camp.

After the coalition army rushed into the camp, they found that many thieves were looting their property and fled to the back mountain, so the last battle took place under the wall of the back mountain, and many thieves gathered here carried the looted goods on their backs and fought for a few ropes hanging down the mountain, and the scene was chaotic. With the arrival of the coalition soldiers, everything was over, and nearly 200 thieves did not die at the main gate of resistance, but fell in the back mountain to survive.

In response to Li Xun's strong request, at dusk, all the corpses of the thieves, including those from the two hidden spots outside, gathered in the middle of the top of the mountain of the Blood Axe's lair, and after some careful identification, no Astelli Blood Axe was found. It seems that he slipped away in advance, much to the resentment of Sir Hanwick.

At the suggestion of Master Li Xun, except for a few main bandit leaders who were taken to Naya City by the lords to ask for merit, in order to avoid the plague, the remaining nearly 700 corpses of thieves and more than 200 corpses of coalition soldiers who died in battle were dug in deep pits and buried on the spot, and then a fire set the entire mountain top on fire.

That night, after resting and reveling in the camp at the foot of the mountain, everyone pushed their cups and changed their glasses, and when they were partying to their heart's content, Li Xun also said goodbye to Sir Hanwick, explaining that he planned to continue to go deep into the Whispering Forest to hunt down Astelli Bloodaxe, and immediately received an enthusiastic response from Sir and the knights, and planned to send his own guards to follow the mage.

Li Xun politely declined everyone's kindness, whispering that the forest was vast and boundless, and it was extremely difficult to really catch a person who just wanted to abscond, saying that he would do what he could, and would not blindly fight a lost dog there.

Sir Hanwick and the knights consulted and took out 8,000 gold coins from the seized belongings to thank the mage for his help, and each one of them offered his best survival tools in the wilderness for the mage to choose.

The next day, after the fire was extinguished, the coalition forces began to return one after another, and Li Xun also parted with everyone to greet him, and walked alone to the depths of the whispering forest.
