Chapter 444: Leaving the Wilderness
The number of people is not very large, but the scale is about a few thousand.
Because they are similar to those on their side, they can be seen from a distance of a few kilometers, and the other party should also see this side and is busy speeding up.
A few kilometers apart, they have been watching the opposing troops get closer and closer.
"Great Mentor, are they allies too?" said Avenna, who was beside her, once again prepared her weapons.
Wait a minute......
"Don't make a move...... Don't make a move, they're allies for the time being. Wang Chu hurriedly said.
Hiss~ Wang Chu seems to remember that he heard the description of elves in a certain class of Lias two years ago, and they are basically indisputable and peaceful.
In retrospect, who wrote this book anyway.
Turning his head to look at Lias on the other side, the other party glanced at himself with a smile, the two of them seemed to have less time to talk these days because of Anwenna's presence, and more importantly, they didn't walk lazily in animal form anymore.
The team in front of them rode fast on horseback, and Clark was the first to catch up.
"Clarks, why are you, when did you come back?" The other party was a dark-skinned man, with a strong body and a sturdy body, he should be older than Clarks, and the armor he was wearing was heavy armor, which looked like a replenishment, which was different from the light leather armor of the Sky Guard.
"I've just returned from the southern wilderness, so what about you, why are you here? ”
"I got word in Versailles that the war with the Earth Demons is over, so I rushed over...... I think the commander is almost back, and I still have important things to report to him. The other party said.
The news of the victory in the war spread quickly in the city, as the archbishop thought, and the magician associations everywhere would spread the news to various countries, and the question of casualties would not be too clear, after all, the positions of each country were different, and the commander of Sindal's Southern Army may not be more noble than an ordinary general in the eyes of other countries.
So Cologne did not know the news of Legolas's death.
"Captain Cologne, I'm going to tell you about the commander alone. ”
Wang Chu noticed that the other party had been looking in the team, and it seemed that he had not found Legolas's figure, and his expression changed slightly.
An Imperial soldier should have a different degree of understanding of death, and he has already prepared for it in his heart...... After the captain of the Sky Guard finished speaking, the other party's expression was a little touched, but it was not as sad as Clarks' previous appearance.
Older soldiers have a better psychological quality.
Just lowered his head, and after a long time, he slowly raised himself and whispered to the archbishop.
"Did the commander have any explanation before he died, what kind of powerful enemy he encountered at that time, you must know that the commander is the strongest in the entire Southern Army. ”
"You can't imagine, kid. At that time, no one thought that they would be able to come out alive. Benedictas dismounted, and with his deep voice and usual calm expression, took out Legolas's saber and handed it to the other man.
The other party wanted to touch it, but when he got to it, he stopped again.
"He is a glory that belongs to the commander-in-chief, and he should personally hand it over to his family!" he said, standing up straight with a thousand troops, and bowing deeply to the sword.
..............................
Behind the mountains is the southernmost border of the Sindar Empire, and like the borders of all countries, there are a lot of defenses and walls, but the only thing that can't compare to the huge walls of the Iron Hill Fort is hundreds of meters high, and the other defenses and watchtowers are almost similar.
There are not many troops on the border line, according to Captain Cologne, most of the troops have been taken out by Commander Legolas, and the number of troops dispatched by the Southern Army is more than 300,000, and it was originally thought that it would be a tough battle, so a large number of main forces were brought out, hoping to block the earth demons at least outside the border.
However, the result was that the entire army was wiped out, and there were only a few hundred people left in the entire 300,000-strong army, which was probably the worst loss in the history of the Sindal Empire.
Cologne's identity is the adjutant of the army, which is equivalent to the position of the commander of the soldiers, in fact, he is almost like Lucia, and he has to obey his arrangement.
Legolas took a lot of generals with titles with him when he went on the expedition, so now the biggest general in the entire border city is actually Captain Cologne in front of him!!
"The Sindal Empire was different from other places in that although each city had its own lords, the generals of the army were almost the same rank, and in some cases could even override the lord's jurisdiction. "At the time of entering the border, Cologne was also explaining the characteristics of the country.
The borders of the Sindal Empire are similar to those of the Castle of the Sun, with arrow towers built on gentle hills, and then the artificially dug road is used as an entrance to the top of the mountain.
Looking at the arrow towers on both sides, Wang Chu noticed the arrow ballista cart that Cristian said just now.
It seems that I have seen it in the camp of the Alliance Army before, neatly long arrows, placed on an iron slab, and the rear is set like a giant cannon, as long as the bowstring is opened, dozens of long iron arrows can be fired at the same time.
The power of this kind of arrow Wang Chu has never seen it, because the alliance army camp was not used at all at that time, but looking at the individual arrows is thicker than the two fingers of an adult man, the length is nearly half a meter, this kind of shooting mantis demon as long as the other party is killed, even if it does not die, it can be half disabled.
Lias also fixed her eyes on the ballista, and she said to Lucia beside her.
"Lucia, why don't we build this kind of defense for the troops in the future. ”
"Well, that's not bad either. Lucia nodded.
The two discussed and silently wrote it down.
There were not many people on the border, so the team did not stop at this place, but walked directly to the nearest city, which can be regarded as having completely entered the territory of the Sindal Empire, and the situation on the road began to change.
Walking out of the wilderness, the temperature around me dropped a bit, and a refreshing breeze began to blow through the mountains.
Wang Chu looked back at the back.
The road to the wilderness is getting farther and farther.
Counting the time, it has been almost a month since the last time the border of Sunrise City entered the wilderness, from the incident of searching for Al Ain's father and son to stopping the invasion of the Earth Demons, and finally to the end of the war, and now he has finally returned to the human realm.
"Cam! We're out. Lias approached her, and she likewise glanced back behind her.
However, he turned his head to himself and smiled.
Well, we're out.
If you add the time from the Imperial Capital and the time to Sunrise City, it should be two or three months, and Lias seems to have sunburned a little bit during this time.
