Chapter 155: Reinforcements

Hu Bin and his party were taken to the Icylian rangers' stronghold, and the entrance to the stronghold was actually in a tree hole, and these rangers actually dug a hidden hole in the ground. The knights were taken to the cave in the rear to apply the wound medicine, although they had a shield to resist when they were attacked, but they were still shot and injured by these skilled archery rangers, the venom on the rangers' arrows is very troublesome, so it is better to deal with it as soon as possible.

"Sir, Captain Okov of the 3rd Squadron of Icilian reports to you." A strong man with a beard saluted Hu Bin after reading Hu Bin's paperwork, this burly man is actually the squadron leader of this ranger squadron, shouldn't the Icylian rangers be slender and agile, it's hard to imagine what this guy looks like standing on the treetops and shooting arrows.

"Well, are you all these people?" Hu Bin looked at the soldiers in the cave through the light and found that there were only more than 20 people here.

"Sir, the third squadron is full of 50 men, some of us are still monitoring the movements of the Runians, and in a moment it will be our turn to take over them, and there is also a team of five people hunting in the woods. Huokov introduced the situation of the team to Hu Bin.

"What is the approximate size of the Rune's supply team?"

"There are about 400 infantry and 30 cavalry to follow, usually ten carts of supplies will be escorted at a time, and sometimes there will be some mercenaries to follow, although their number is not much, but several times our people have been detected by this group of mercenaries when they are scouting, sir, those people should not be taken lightly." Okov said with some concern.

"Of course I know to be careful of those guys, 400 people!" Hu Bin felt that things were a little difficult to do. Although this unit is known as a squadron, but the establishment of the Scout-based Icyrian Ranger unit is not the same as that of other troops, Hu Bin originally thought that there would be two hundred people waiting for him, but he didn't expect that there were only fifty people, although these soldiers are elite, but it is too difficult to rely on them and the knights under his command to take down a supply team with heavy guards. Not to mention the possibility of encountering the numbered of hostile forces.

"Do you really have to meet up with those lord numberers, or do you want to wait for those temporarily recruited numberers?" Hu Bin thought to himself, and Okov stood there waiting for the other party, without the slightest impatience. can let Bai Cheng directly appoint him to take over his squadron, and the energy of this elf can be imagined. Thinking of this, Okov was a little moved, seeing that Hu Bin was very talkative, he had something to ask the other party.

"No, I would have exposed myself to the group of lords, who had more troops than I did. When the time comes, it will be difficult to seize the initiative, and it will not be fun to be tricked to find peaches, it seems that you still have to calm down first. Hu Bin thought of this, hammered his palm, stood up and saw Okov looking at him, and immediately shivered.

"Okov, is there anything you can do?"

"Sir, I would like to ask about General Faramir, I have not received orders from him for a long time, and the military headquarters has been directing us all this time. Is something wrong? Okov asked with some whirlwind, for fear of causing the commander to misunderstand.

"His Excellency Faramir was imprisoned by the Lord Regent for failing to hold the fortress of Aufort, and now his brother Boromir is also your commander. And I am a friend of Borromir, who has been sent here to assist you. You don't have to be restrained, I'm just an honorary nobleman, and I'm only here to help you. Hu Bin's face was easy-going. Although he concealed some facts, he did not lie, although he was sent by Gandalf. But it is true that the military badge was issued by Boromir.

"So, I'm sorry, sir, what is our mission in the future, to keep an eye on the Rune?" Although Okov was a little surprised, the high-level affairs were not something that he, the squadron leader, could inquire about.

"No, call all the men, let the soldiers rest for the night, I've brought some supplies, you can taste the Elven Lambas tonight. We'll probably get some support tomorrow, and that's when you really need to play. Hu Bin felt that his strength was not enough to swallow the supply team alone, so he simply gave up the first move, and waited in the dark to see what those lord numberers would do.

"Yes, sir!" Although he was a little hesitant about Hu Bin's order, Okov still didn't ask, obeying the command is a necessary quality of a soldier, Okov didn't want to leave a bad impression on this commander, and now there is no General Faramir on his head.

……

"Lee, are you sure that the aborigines won't stumble on us?" A middle-aged man with brown hair asked slowly.

"They have no troops to use, and if we are stumbling up, who will contain those Lunes, I have waited a long time for this good opportunity." The young man known as Li was asked about his impatience and finally replied.

"David, you've asked a few times on the road, if you're afraid, just quit this operation, it just so happens that Li and I can share some more benefits." A numbered person next to him, who looked very strong at a glance, was talking cool words next to him.

"Belikov, there's nothing wrong with being careful, do you think I have biceps in my head just like you." The middle-aged man named David replied with an unchanged face.

"Enough, if I had known your virtue, I should have come with the wolves." Lee finally had enough of the two bickering along the way.

Seeing Li's outburst, a trace of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the other two, and they immediately stopped arguing and continued to hurry.

"Look, let me go ahead and explore the way." Belikov turned his temper on his men, and the cavalryman was ordered to speed forward.

These three people are the lord number that Hu Bin is waiting for, and behind them is a large army, they are rushing to the northern hilly region overnight, where the supply team of the Rune people in the intelligence must pass, presumably those aboriginal nobles will not be deceived on this information, after all, they still need these three people to delay the army of the Rune.

Li looked at these two guys with some headaches, there are a total of eight members in the Numbered Lord Alliance, although they are united for various reasons, but in fact, the relationship between the eight people is not very good.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that my cavalry fought too hard with those desert peoples in the south, I wouldn't have shared this mission." Li thought with some chagrin that he had triggered this mission, but he didn't have enough troops to swallow it alone. Lee's territory is just south of White City. He had fought a tough battle with those scattered camel cavalry before, and the result was that the cavalry troops he had cultivated with great effort died in which battle, and those aboriginal nobles did nothing to raid the enemies in his territory, which was also the biggest reason why Li joined the alliance of lords of the numbered people to resist the upper echelons of White City.

Li is one of the more powerful lords of the number, although he lost all the cavalry troops, but he also saved some troops in more than a year, for this mission, he has invested blood, brought all the noble private soldiers over, and the 150 well-equipped Gondor infantry behind him is his greatest confidence.

Belikov and David did not have the strength of Lee. They didn't have much of an army in western Gondor, so they didn't have much of an army, but the biggest reason the two were chosen by Lee as partners was because of the cavalry they had. David brought a cavalry force of about 40 men for the mission, while Belikov brought only about 20 cavalry, but he also brought a group of about 50 archers.

Of course, even if the strength of the three of them is combined, they may not be able to take down the supply team of the Rune, but behind them are not only soldiers, but more than 60 numbered people gathered under their command, ready to take a piece of the pie in this mission, and after adding the strength in the hands of these numbered people. The entire force on the mission numbered a staggering six hundred, enough to crush the supply convoy, which was said to be just over four hundred.

"Should we bring the wolves with us, then this operation will be more secure." David repeated the same old tune again after a period of silence.

"He's already fallen to someone else, do you want us to take care of the old feelings and share his share? No kidding. Belikov's words are still ironic. But the tone softened. David was right, it wasn't safe to have only the three of them on this mission, and the numbered lord called Wolf had a good relationship with them, but he hooked up with someone else. It also took away a lot of numbered people.

Li listened to the words of the two behind him and was silent, he knew very well that the words of the two were for himself. At that time, he was resolutely opposed to letting the wild wolf join the guy, and he didn't feel anything to be angry about the wild wolf's behavior of defecting to others, but he took refuge in that guy, although that person was superior to him in terms of strength and means, but he still hated that person's expression of superiority.

David and Belikov glanced at each other and noticed the helplessness in each other's eyes. The alliance of lords is not monolithic, although there are many bad factions in it, but it is also divided into several small groups. They and the wolf originally occupied the leading position in the alliance, but due to the addition and division of others, they lost the degree of control over the alliance in the past, and their interests were greatly weakened. Originally, they could have endured it, but because Li's territory had been reduced to ruins due to the invasion of the desert people, the strongest of them had been weakened, and the wild wolf's departure at this time was undoubtedly a hard stab in the wound of this small group.

"I hope this mission goes well!" Looking at the back of Lee in front of him, Belikov let out a rare sigh.

"Let's set up camp here today, I've heard that there's a crippled Icyrian Ranger around here, and while those guys aren't of much help, their intelligence is still very important. David, send the cavalry first, and go to the front to see if you can meet those men. Li kept thinking about the details of this mission, and finally it suddenly occurred to him that there was a scout force here, and he might be able to get some useful information from somewhere.

"Okay, but I've wanted to ask for a long time, is it really a problem for us to swagger around the territory of the Rune with this group of numbered people?" David asked with the same calm look.

"We know it in our hearts, so you can go quickly, don't ask questions." Before Lee could speak, Belikov couldn't stand it anymore, and he immediately urged David to hurry up and get on his way.

Seeing David's figure in the distance, Belikov turned to Li and asked, "Well, although very reluctant, I have to say that David's worries are still very reasonable, Li, do you have any plans for this group of numbered people?" ”

"You're asking if there's anyone else's eyeliner here! Feel relieved. This is a game between us and the White City, they have no reason to sabotage our mission, otherwise this alliance will be meaningless, they will not do such a mindless thing. I'm more worried about the enemies on the other side than about these things, and from the news from Aocheng, many of the numbered members of the opposing faction are operating in this area, and those guys are much more difficult to deal with than the army of the Rune. ”

"Don't worry, it's not like we haven't met those guys, and besides, the number of numberers on our side will only increase." After saying this, Belikov suddenly asked: "Is it David who has the problem?" ”

Lee glanced at the Russian man in surprise. Looks like this guy doesn't have exactly muscles in his head, so he felt it so quickly.

"David's words today are a little too much, although he is usually so cautious, but it doesn't make me feel so impatient." Lee's faint voice reached David's ears.

"Even he's like this, what are we going to do in the future?" Belikov said with some disappointment that no one else knew that his relationship with Lee was actually the closest of the four, because they had met in the previous world, and Belikov had saved Lee once. Unexpectedly, in this world, the young Chinese who once didn't even dare to kill people became so calm, calm and even cold. Belikov was sure that in the time since he and Lee were separated from the previous world, Lee must have encountered some major changes.

"Let's take it one step at a time. At least we still have a way to go to the aborigines, but hopefully those guys don't push me any way, or I'll turn into a good knife. A cold glint flashed in Lee's eyes, and Belikov shrugged. Not talking.

Unbeknownst to David, the other two had noticed that something was wrong with him, and after getting out of their sight, he immediately contacted someone who was unknown by remote contact. Then he began to search for the rangers, but unfortunately, until dawn, he did not find half a figure, so he had to merge with the others. And what he didn't know was that the person he had been looking for all night was watching him not far from him.

"Hey, let this guy look for nothing all night, I'm really a bad person." Hu Bin laughed at himself, and Okov beside him pursed his lips, he didn't say anything when he was found by Hu Bin, the elf, if anyone could easily find Icyrian, then they would have died a long time ago.

The rangers who were out to scout were all recalled to the stronghold, of course David couldn't find half a shadow, and Hu Bin also felt that there were magic fluctuations nearby only to find that the troops of these numbered lords had arrived here, David's communication directly exposed his location, and Hu Bin didn't care about resting, so he asked Okoff to take a few rangers to touch the entire camp through.

"Sir, aren't they our reinforcements, why don't you go up and talk to them?" Okov asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because the top told them that your third squadron has been lost after two unsuccessful sneak attacks on the supply team." Hu Bin glanced at Okov and slowly said a message that made the squadron leader fall into deep thought.

"You can talk to them, but hey, hey, hey!" Hu Bin suddenly thought of a good idea, if he asked Okov to inadvertently leak some information that he wanted those people to know, would the group of people take the bait? He couldn't wait to see this force and the defenders of the supply team go head-to-head, and as for whether he would get involved, let's talk about it then. After Hu Bin finalized this sudden idea, he began to ask Okov, and Okov's face became darker and darker, and finally left Hu Bin in a hurry with a frightened face, presumably frightened by this black-bellied elf.

"It's good that the rangers were recalled in time, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of such a good idea." Hu Bin patted the briefing card in the package, hummed a little song and slowly disappeared into the forest.

Reconnaissance briefing of the 3rd Squadron of Icyrian: At night, five kilometers from the stronghold in the northeast, the enemy made an unusual move, felled wood, collected stones, loaded vehicles, disguised as supply convoys, real convoys followed, traps.

The soldiers who went to recall the reconnaissance unit did not bring back those people, but handed the briefing of the battle to Hu Bin, who was glad that he did not act rashly. It seems that someone has exposed the movements of those numbered lords to the Lunes, and if it weren't for seeing the numbered person named David contact others, Hu Bin would even wonder if it was the ghost of Baicheng. Even Lee didn't expect that David not only betrayed him, but also defected to the side of the Rune, and he didn't know how he got on the other side.

If it weren't for Hu Bin accidentally discovering David's anomaly, it is estimated that even if this mission is successful, David will continue to lurk in the Gondor camp, who would have thought that a lord-level numbered person would actually betray Gondor, you can imagine how much harm this guy will bring to Baicheng in the future, and what Hu Bin really cares about is how many such spies are still in Baicheng, and whether his every move is in the eyes of the person who is numbered on the other side.

Thinking of this, Hu Bin hid his figure in the forest more hidden. (To be continued......)
