Twenty miles southwest of Huya Hill, in a dense forest.

The cavalry of the blue enchantress temporarily rested in the woods, and after nearly a month of fighting behind enemy lines, the once loose mercenaries have gradually tempered themselves into battlefield veterans.

When he stopped to rest, the mercenaries who had already been arranged were in charge of the perimeter guards and sentinels, and the rest of the mercenaries either rested against the trees or silently wiped their weapons, and they no longer saw the scene of drinking and bragging together.

Arthur led his troops all the way, rushed to the vicinity of Huya Mound a day and night in advance, and after temporarily settling the mercenaries in the woods, he and Aretha set up and headed for Huya Mound Fortress.

Arthur was aware of the importance of the strategic artery of Huya Hill, so he became suspicious of the Legion's intelligence, and he wanted to use the day to personally check the military situation in the fortress.

Huya mound is the terrain of two hills sandwiched by a ditch, two continuous low hills are full of rocks and weeds, but between the two hills there is a gap of 100 meters long, the fractures of the hills on both sides are all extended to the oblique side, the shape is like a pair of tiger teeth that come out and get the name. The wide official road leading to the imperial capital was being built between the two hills, and because of the strategic location, the Locke Kingdom built a strong fortress here on the hillside.

Arthur and Aretha approached the fortress from the top of a hill on one side. By this time it was completely dark, and the stone walls on both sides and inside the fortress were already lit with lights.

With the help of the firelight, the sea clan warriors patrolling and guarding the city walls are already faintly numbered.

The walls on both sides of the Huyaqiu fortress are made of stones, and the city walls on the south side are more than ten meters high and three or four meters thick. Although the walls were not very tall, it was still not easy for the cavalry to attack the city.

"Looking at the scale of this fortress, at most three thousand Terran troops are stationed, and if it is replaced by a taller Sea Clan, the number of warriors in this fortress will never exceed two thousand, and the information of the legion should not be too different. Aretha whispered from the side.

"Even if there is no discrepancy in the information, it will not be easy for the cavalry to take this fortress, and a large number of casualties will definitely be inevitable. Arthur said worriedly.

"It is best to join up with the other two cavalry regiments as soon as possible, discuss strategies in advance, and cooperate with the three parties to reduce casualties as much as possible. ”

There seemed to be no better way, Arthur and Aretha observed for a while, and did not find anything unusual before quietly retreating.

......

Arthur: They joined the other two cavalry regiments in the afternoon of the next day.

After seeing these two teams, Arthur's already low interest was completely shattered. These two cavalry regiments were cobbled together by the private armies of more than 20 minor nobles, and the main force in the army was mainly second-class warriors, and some of the warriors had uneven armor, so the combat effectiveness could be imagined.

These two cavalry regiments were very happy to meet the blue enchantress, Arthur's brave deeds can be spread all over the kingdom aristocratic circles, and then look at the elite warriors behind him with weapons and equipment shining with magical luster, it seems that the next battle has been won.

Arthur didn't count on them at all, and took over all the tasks of the main attack, but asked the other party to lead the army into the fortress after the wall was broken.

After agreeing on the time and signal for the attack, the three cavalry regiments were stationed separately not far apart, waiting for the time to attack and act together.

As soon as the other party left Qiong, he came over, "Fighting a siege battle with such two armies, someone in the town naval regiment is deliberately trapping us, right?"

Hardy's cold gaze flashed in Arthur's mind, but he still said expressionlessly: "Even if you are framed, you can't openly disobey orders at this time." Tell the mercenary brothers below that it's time to fight hard, if you don't want to die here tonight, you can take out all the means they have to press the bottom of the box!"

Even without the support of other troops, Arthur was confident that he would win the battle, the difference was only in the price he paid. More than half of the soldiers in the cavalry regiment under Arthur, which is dominated by Huaores mercenaries, have the strength of captains or above, and there are more than 200 people with the strength of five or six level captains.

With so many high-end forces gathered, the true strength of the Blue Enchantress Cavalry is comparable to that of Strachey and Eliot, the Lion King. And these old mercenaries who walk on the edge of danger every day, which one of them does not have one or two means or treasures to protect themselves and escape at critical moments.

Joan was about to turn around to deliver the order when Arthur pulled him back, "We may have to make a loss-making deal in this battle, let the fire dragon fly to its heart's content!"

Joan nodded bitterly.

......

Arantis, the Sky Firm.

Crored stood on one side of the parlor with her hands down, and on the main seat sat a chubby old man dressed in white. This person is full of energy, full of red face, only two temples are slightly frosty, and he looks no more than fifty or sixty years old.

Those who know the inside story know that the big shopkeeper has been in charge of the business house for the old prince for nearly 50 years, and he is now at least 100 years old.

Sauron Canyon, the next battle of the Holy Sword Peak, although the loss of Serenda, Samil and others, but those people are just tools and operating costs that can be accrued for the first trading house of the human race. Before her death, Serenda reversed the "Seal Breaking Stone" to destroy the seal, and the big thing came to fruition, and the firm still made a steady profit.

Clorid was also a great contributor to this matter, so he was fortunate enough to be summoned by the chief treasurer himself.

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and motioned for Colonid to sit down and speak.

"The firm can always sit firmly in the position of the first commercial house of the human race depends on talents, I have already told the old prince about you, and the old prince also appreciates you very much!"

Croride, who had just sat down, immediately stood up and saluted, "I just did some things for the trading house, and I am very ashamed that the old prince and the big shopkeeper love me so much!"

"The firm has always had clear rewards and punishments, and with your merits this time, you should be promoted to the head of a national branch, but there is no vacancy in the head of each country, so I will consider arranging a new position for you. ”

"Though the great treasurer commands me, I will do my best. ”

The big shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, "I really didn't misunderstand you." I took my token to the Norman kingdom and met with Lu Lan, the prime minister of the Sea Clan. ”

Coloned stood bent over, waiting for the treasurer's next command.

"You see Prime Minister Lu Lan to do two things this time. The first is to set up the trade channel of the sea tribe, pearls and corals from the deep sea are in high demand on the mainland, and special ores from submarine volcanoes and strange things that assist in the cultivation of water magic are also sought after by warriors and magicians. As for what the sea clan needs, you can also pull a list out, as long as there is something on the mainland, our business bank has channels. From now on, trade with the Sea Clan will be your sole responsibility. ”

Crored was overjoyed and saluted again to thank him.

The big shopkeeper continued: "The second thing is to bring him the two words of the old prince. ”

"You say, I'll make a note of it. ”

"The first sentence of the old prince is that the Yunxiao Commercial Bank does not mind who is the emperor, no matter who becomes the emperor and how much territory the Sea Clan occupies, the interests of the commercial house cannot be moved. ”

"The old prince's second sentence is to let Lu Lan tell the Sea King that letting the Sea Clan come out is not for them to take revenge and seize the land, that big thing is the mission of the Sea Clan!"
