Chapter 241: Thieves' Camp
It can be seen that the purpose of this group of demon spirit thieves is very strong, but their target is not the gold coins and property of ordinary thieves in the past, but the lives and souls of each other, which is the real goal of this group of thieves.
If Barron hadn't arrived at Mobile, it would probably not have been long before Mobiletown would have followed the same fate as the town in front of it.
And Nat and Rusen, as well as the group of thieves they led, are likely to appear here for this reason, but this kind of soul collection is still hidden after all.
Therefore, when Van Lentien and Aldrich interrogated the thieves and prisoners, they did not know what was going on, and the real situation was only known to Nat and Ruthen, who had already blown themselves up and died.
Looking at Adonis, who was still standing aside, Barron retracted his divergent thoughts, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said to Adonis: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation and wipe out all these filthy thieves!"
"Wipe out all these filthy thieves!" all the officers of the New Silver Snow Regiment in the hall responded positively.
......
......
On the second day of their arrival in Adonis, Barron couldn't wait, and directly took Aldrich and Van Lentien, as well as all the members of the Mobile Guard, and rushed to the camp of the Demon Spirit Thieves at the foot of the Devil's Mountains.
Barron didn't actually expect to be able to rely on the newly established Mobile Guards when fighting the Demon Spirit Thieves.
One of the reasons why the members of the Mobile Guard, which had just been established, were brought in was that the training team was that an army that had never been on the battlefield would always be a showman! Even if nearly half of the guards were prisoners of thieves with rich combat experience.
But there are also ordinary civilians, whether it is technical skills, small team cooperation or marching and camping, there is something they learn, while moving forward, while learning on the road, can make these civilians progress very quickly.
As for the second reason, Barron is not worried about the guards led by Mobile, especially when he, Aldrich, and Van Lentien are no longer in Mobile, no one knows whether the guards transformed by this group of thieves are trustworthy.
Therefore, Barron took them all with him to avoid the situation where he finally raided the lair of the Demon Spirit Thieves, and as a result, his own nest also followed in the footsteps of the Thieves.
Even in order to bring all the members of the guard, the cavalry battalion of the Silver Snow Regiment had to distribute a war horse for the guards to use.
But there is no way to do this, who let Barron's war horses have a total of less than 30 horses, even if the two of them ride a war horse, the guard's war horses are not enough.
When they followed Adonis and they went north to the Devil's Mountains, they found that Adonis's information was not good at all, and Barron had discovered that at least three originally prosperous villages had become a ghost domain.
Every slaughtered village was littered with corpses that no one could collect, and flocks of crows and wild dogs used these villages as carnival destinations, and the inexhaustible food allowed crows and wild dogs to do too much, and even more ferocious beasts.
The closer you get to the Devil Mountains, the more serious this situation becomes, and the more villages that become ghost domains, although the villages are large and small, but a village with hundreds of people is at least, and maybe even more.
By the time they reached the foot of the Devil's Mountains, Barron had seen at least ten destroyed villages along the way, and even one of them was a Mobile-led village.
If you add those who don't see it, it's likely that the death toll is far greater than Adonis guessed.
......
......
"Report to the deputy corps chief, the scout team has found a suspicious trace in front, it is very likely that it is the scout of the thief group!" After galloping for most of the day, the scout team of the cavalry battalion finally found the trace of the thief group.
Hearing the report of the scouts in front of him, Adonis said without hesitation: "Don't have contact with the scouts of the Demon Spirit Thieves Group first, all the scouts will start to recover, but we must take the main force as the center, and ensure that no scouts of the Demon Spirit Thieves Group can appear within a radius of five kilometers, so as to avoid the other party discovering us!"
"Everyone obeys, dismount and rest for two hours, and after two hours we will charge!"
After the cavalry battalion heard Adonis's order, they all began to dismount, either feeding their war horses, or sitting down on the spot while eating something to replenish the physical strength they had just lost, after all, they had been galloping for most of the day, not only the war horses, but even their veterans were a little unbearable.
Therefore, although Adonis found the traces of the Demon Spirit Thieves, he did not rush over immediately, but let his soldiers get enough rest time while covering up his whereabouts.
And now the sky has begun to darken, two hours later, the sun will set, the sky will be dark, at that time, if there is no trace of the thief group, it is just right to follow the advantage of cavalry maneuver to sneak attack!
Soon two hours had passed, and Adonis immediately ordered: "Order the scouts to hunt down the scouts of the thieves with all their might, and the rest of them all get on their horses and move on."
With Adonis's order, at the foot of the Devil's Mountains, the scouts of both sides began to fight frantically, but one side came prepared, the other side was suddenly attacked, and it didn't take long for the scout team of the thieves to be almost wiped out.
The total annihilation of the thieves' scouts made the bandits' camp not receive any news of the enemy at all, and the darker cover of the sky made the cavalry team led by Adonis approach two kilometers to the thieves' camp before they heard the sound of horses running, and reacted that a large number of cavalry were rushing towards them.
It's a pity that the thieves group only found out at this time that the cavalry battalion of the Silver Snow Legion, which was about to start sprinting, was too late.
A mere two-kilometer distance, thousands of cavalry rushed to the camp of the thieves in just a few minutes, and it was the strongest Barron at the front.
The first to react in the camp of the thieves were the two arrow towers and the guards on the battalion, and in an instant, dozens of sharp arrows flew towards Barron and them.
"Charge with a shield!" Barron's shield easily blocked all the arrows that were fired at him.
Although the shield in Barron's hand is just an ordinary quality, but these thieves who shoot arrows are just ordinary people, with Barron's current defensive strength, not to mention that Barron has a shield to cover it, even if he strips off his armor and lets them shoot arrows, this group of ordinary thieves will not be able to break his defense.
