Chapter 55: Infiltrating the Enemy Camp
The cold wind gusted, blowing the woods outside the camp and shaking, obviously the time has come to April, but the weather is still outrageously cold, the sun hangs high in the middle of the sky, but it does not emit much heat, the ground is still frozen stiff, even if there is no war in the Andris Kingdom this year, spring plowing will definitely be delayed.
And what a large-scale reduction in grain production means is something that everyone can think about......
At this moment, on the official road to the east outside Kevin City, there is a man and a rider walking slowly, the person is a nine-foot giant, and the horse is a tall horse.
Buchen was wearing a fiery red armor, his face was calm and silently advancing, his back was as straight as a lance, and his body exuded an awe-inspiring bearing that was not angry and self-assured, even if there was only one person and one horse, it was also a good general's demeanor!
"Stop! Who are you and what are you doing here?! Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the dense forest beside the road.
Buchen frowned slightly, no need to ask, this question was sent by the scouts arranged by the Eight-Nation Alliance in the outside world, he grabbed the reins of the war horse, did not turn his head, still looked ahead, and said in an indifferent but calm tone: "I am Sean Sterling, the head of the Hellfire Knights under the command of the King of the Holy City, and I have already informed your eight kings with a flying pigeon a few days ago that I am coming here to protect the thief as a guest general!" ”
There was silence in the forest for a moment, except for the sound of small fragments, and after a few moments, a scout with withered yellow weeds hanging all over his body came out of the forest and said, "Come with me!" ”
Buchen nodded slightly, and followed behind the scout.
A moment later, they came to a camp on the outermost side of the Eight-Nation Coalition company camp.
"Wait a minute." The scout said with words like gold.
Buchen knew that the scout was going to inform his superiors and find someone who knew Sean Sterling to verify his identity, but he didn't answer, just closed his eyes, and quietly observed the huge camp in front of him through the gap in his eyelids.
The army of millions is indeed worthy of its name!
From where Buchen was, there were snow-white tents and black-brown fences, stretching to the end of the field of vision.
is different from the camps that Buchen saw in the film and television dramas of his previous life, the camps in the real world, whether it is the world of his previous life or this world, do not trap millions of people in one camp.
The so-called company camp is a huge camp composed of large and small camps, each camp is separated by a hundred steps, the walls of the wall are arranged with strong bows and crossbows, each other is completely in the other party's shooting boundary, can support each other, so that the attack has no dead ends at all, such a camp structure, but much stronger than a simple fence, take the company camp of the Eight-Nation Alliance in front of you, a million troops, a total of large and small, nearly 200 camps, around Kevin City surrounded countless circles, The oil that is blocked can't be spilled, and the water can't be leaked!
If you look down from the sky, this huge company camp built around the city looks like a town attached to the city - between the camps are streets and roads, and each camp is a block or courtyard in it.
A camp like this, unless Buchen is given a tank or bulldozer, so that he can run over it all the way regardless of it, otherwise he will not be able to break it no matter what! As long as he breaks through one or two camps and enters the depth of the other party, he will be surrounded by countless camps on the other side, and as long as the bows and crossbows on these camps come with a salvo, no matter how capable he is, he will definitely be shot into a hornet's nest!
Therefore, like in some novels, it is simply illogical and absurd literati conjecture to break through the company camp of hundreds of thousands of troops with thousands of iron horses, and then kill the enemy's generals or something by the way, which is simply illogical and nonsensical literati conjecture, which is impossible to happen in the real world!
Buchen retracted his gaze, he was completely dead now, this camp was not up to him alone, or with the two elf girls who could break it.
About half an hour later, from the aisle between the camp in front of Buchen and the camp next to him, there was a sound of horses' hooves!
"Sean! Is that you? I haven't seen you for so many years, are you okay?! Before anyone arrived, the sound came first, and a rough voice came from afar.
Buchen was startled, frowned slightly, and quickly searched for information about this voice in Sean Sterling's memory.
Moments later, he found it.
Logan Tracy, an elemental knight of the Kingdom of Gabriel, is the wind, and Sean Sterling is a classmate and friend, and in his early years, he studied together at the Military Academy of the Holy City State, needless to say, martial arts, not under Sean, but his personality is a little flying and jumpy, and he is not very reliable.
"Is it Logan?!"
Buchen asked loudly, his tone lukewarm, Sterling's attitude towards Tracy in his early years.
When Logan Trancy heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and no longer bothered the queue, he threw off his guards, and hurried towards Buchen.
A few seconds later, a burly figure wearing blue-gray armor and riding on a yellow horse turned over the wall and appeared in front of Buchen's eyes.
"Sean, I haven't seen you for so many years, I really miss me!" Before he could get close, Logan Trancy dismounted, opened his arms, and strode over!
Buchen's cheeks twitched, this product is too enthusiastic, right?
However, Buchen, who has read Sterling's memory, knows that this Lancey Knight is still this kind of person. Helpless, Buchen had to turn over and dismount, open his arms, and hug him.
Suddenly, a strong smell of sweat poured into his nose.
I'll go, how long has it been since this thing took a shower?!
Buchen forcibly endured the nausea in his heart, and said with a smile: "Logan, how many years have we been apart?" ”
"Eighteen years! It's been eighteen years! Logan Trancy said with tears in his eyes, at least he was very excited to meet old friends.
Buchen secretly wiped some saliva into his eyes, and said in an excited tone: "Logan, how have you been doing all these years?" Have you fulfilled your original ambition? ”
Logan Trancy once aspired to revitalize his family, and used his military exploits to elevate his knighthood from viscount to marquis.
"Don't mention it!"
Trancy let go of Buchen, sighed a little lonely, put his arm around his shoulders and said: "I've come here in a mess all these years, I'm also stupid, we have been fighting with the brown-clothed people for thousands of years, and the territory hasn't changed much, how can it be that if one of me joins, the battle situation will change dramatically?" In addition to the see-saw confrontation over the years, at most one or two border forts have been laid, and a decent city has not been conquered, how can it be possible to make a great contribution?! ”
Buchen also pretended to be empathetic, sighed, and didn't say anything more.
It's just that people like Logan Trancy are destined to be sad for a short time, and soon, he will be uplifted again.
"But this time there's a show!" Trancy said with a fluttering eyebrow.
"Oh?" Buchen asked curiously.
"As long as I can make a great contribution in this war to destroy Charlie, I am expected to become a marquis!"
Buchen smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, he knew that Logan Trancy would not succeed at all.
Because those eight kings will be doomed to his hands!
At that time, my cheap friend is afraid that not only will he not be able to make a great achievement, but he will also not be able to eat and walk around!
…… Who let him put himself in?
At this time, they had already led their horses, bypassed the camp in front of them, and walked side by side into the aisle between the two villages.
Seeing Buchen's disapproving look, Lancey said unconvinced: "Sean, look at it, I will definitely make a great contribution this time!" ”
Buchen waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "Logan, although I am very happy to reunite our old friends, but I have a heavy responsibility this time, you should take me to meet the eight monarchs quickly!" ”
Logan Trancy was stunned for a moment, then restrained his smile, nodded solemnly, and stepped back on his horse.
"Sean, come with me!"
Buchen smiled, turned on his horse, and followed behind Tracy.
On the walls of the camp on both sides of the aisle, there were hideous-looking heads, and I didn't know that these were the assassins who had come to assassinate the king in between. However, he turned a blind eye, because he was not one of them who had no self-knowledge, he was a man who would surely become a thief!
And those eight kings will surely become the stepping stones on his path to godhood!
