Chapter 147: Reconnaissance Mission (2) (2nd Update)
Now Joshuel is responsible not only for himself, but also for those who follow him, and one of his decisions is a matter of life and death for all of them.
If he chooses to continue to go deeper, it is very likely that he will encounter more frequent and fierce battles, and it will be a big question whether their reconnaissance detachment can return to the pioneer battalion at that time.
"Go and call Master Barron here, I have something to discuss with him. In the end, Joshuel had no choice but to call Barron over and discuss whether to continue to go deeper or go home.
If it weren't for Barron leading a few mercenaries to protect desperately today, then it is very likely that this reconnaissance detachment would have suffered casualties and even the entire army would have been wiped out.
After Barron learned what Joshuel meant, he thought for a moment and said, "The reaction of the Golden Lion City is very strange, they have sent almost all the cavalry out, and they will do everything to block the enemy heading for the Golden Lion City. ”
"It can be said that there is a great danger of continuing to go deeper, although I am not personally afraid, but I cannot guarantee your safety, so to speak, according to the reaction of the four major lords' armies now. ”
"Even if we are lucky enough to get to the Golden Lion, there is a good chance that I will be the only one who will come back. ”
To be honest, Barron didn't expect it, he originally thought that today was just a simple reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, but he didn't expect that not long after leaving the Calburn area, he encountered the attack of the army of the four major lords.
The other party is obviously also the reconnaissance force of the four major lords, and under normal circumstances, if you meet the reconnaissance troops of the pioneer battalion, the final victory and defeat will be the most.
Unfortunately, there is a monster that should not appear in the reconnaissance unit of the pioneer camp today, and as a result, the 10-person reconnaissance detachment of the four lords was finally rounded up by Barron alone, and one by one was solved.
But this was only the beginning, and then with the 13th Thirteenth Squadron of this improvised reconnaissance squadron, it was attacked by the armies of the four major lords one after another, and even encountered a whole cavalry squadron for the last time.
If it weren't for Barron's decisive decision, then this team estimated that except for Barron, everyone else would not have escaped the end of the battle, and even then they still suffered casualties.
"If that's the case, then there's no way!" Joshuel said helplessly, although he had first contact with Barron, but through other mercenaries and direct contact, he knew that the other party was definitely not lying.
But he was not reconciled, he was not afraid of death, he knew that the Golden Lion City was likely to have very important information, but he was afraid that he and his teammates would pay for their lives, but he still couldn't send this information out.
"Maybe there's another way?" said Barron again.
"What's the solution?" asked Joshuel, staring at Barron intensely.
However, Barron didn't say anything directly, but asked again: "I don't know if your reconnaissance detachments can communicate with each other, if you can contact other reconnaissance detachments, this plan is more likely to be implemented." ”
"Can you get in touch with the other reconnaissance detachments?" this is troublesome, but it's not impossible, maybe we can give it a try!" said Joshuel, "So what is your plan?"
......
......
"Barron, is this your plan?" asked Sutar as he waved his long knife and cut off the branches that stood in his way, as he turned to Barron behind him.
Barron, who was looking at his system panel in the back, heard Suta's question, and said with a smile, "Then do you think there is a better way?"
"The better way, of course...... No!" Suta muttered, "But do we need to work so hard? The Pioneer Battalion is not without knight-level powerhouses, so why should we take risks?"
"First, the Pioneer Camp pays well enough. Barron said. "Second, we have a reason why we have to go! I always feel that there is something wrong with the Golden Lion City, it seems that the four major lords have deliberately blocked some important news of the Golden Lion City, and all they released are some dispensable information. ”
At this time, Fan Luntien, who was following behind Barron, also said: "I also feel this way, but when we arrive at the Golden Lion City, we will know what conspiracy the four major lords are planning!"
"Alright, well, I don't know how long it will take us to get to the Golden Lion City if we go this way!" Suta grumbled as he kept splitting a path for himself with his long knife.
At this time, Van Luntieen looked up at the sun still hanging in the sky and said: "This road is a trail provided by a local hunter, although the road is very narrow and cannot be ridden, only one person can pass on foot, and it is a little detour.
"But we can avoid the armies of the four major lords and directly reach the periphery of the Golden Lion City, according to our speed, it is estimated that we will be able to reach the periphery of the Golden Lion City before evening!"
When Sutar was tired, Barron behind him took the long knife in his hand and continued to drive forward, followed by Van Lentien and Sutar.
In fact, Barron's plan was simple, after Joshuel contacted the other reconnaissance detachments and briefly converged. Barron took Sutar and Van Lentien out of the army.
Let's see if we can quietly bypass the defense line of the four major lords from other directions, and then reach the Golden Lion City.
Moreover, the three of Barron are all knight-level powerhouses, even if they are discovered by the armies of the four major lords, they are sure whether they are fighting or fleeing, not to mention that they only have three people, and they may not necessarily be discovered.
As for Joshuel, what they have to do is to continue to attract the attention of the four major lords' armies on the periphery of the four lords' defense lines, so that the three of Barron can smoothly pass through the four major lords' defenses.
The Barrons were going to set off on horseback, but Joshuel provided a map that they had drawn when they had met a local hunter during their early reconnaissance.
This map shows an unknown path that leads through the defenses of the Four Great Lords to the Golden Lion City.
The problem is that it is not clear whether this path really exists, and this path can only reach the periphery of the Golden Lion City, and if you want to find out the information of the Golden Lion City, it will definitely be useless if it is only on the periphery, and you must continue to go deeper into the vicinity of the Golden Lion City.
Once they are near the Golden Lion City, the chance of being found can be said to be very high, if it is Joshuel and them, once they are discovered, it can basically be said that they will die, and only the three of Barron can kill them with their strength even if they are discovered.
In this way, the three knight-level powerhouses took turns to use their long knives to open the way in front, even if they were on foot, but because there was no one to stop them, the three of Barron quickly reached the periphery of the Golden Lion City.
