Chapter 53, there should be thunderous cheers at this time!
The march of the pure cavalry was very fast, starting from the 10th of September, in less than 20 days, and on the 28th of September, this force had reached the eastern border of the Kingdom of Terrera.
It was the border between Duchy Harrett and the Everglades, and it was the base camp for the operation.
Since being canonized in the eastern part of the kingdom more than five hundred years ago, the Harretts have been tirelessly attacking eastward, attacking the Swamp. They cut down forests, filled in swamps, wiped out local monsters and inhabitants, fenced areas suitable for defense, built camps, and encroached on territory after territory.
In the course of five hundred years, Earl Hallet became the Marquis of Hallet and then the Duke of Harret, and his territory continued to expand and his strength continued to grow.
Of course, they also paid a huge price for it. About half of the patriarchs of the Harrett family have died unexpectedly. Especially those "Harretts" in the early stage, almost none of them can die well. Either die on the battlefield or die in the revenge assassination of the inhabitants of the swamp. Even the previous Duke of Harrett was seriously injured in the revenge assassination of the swamp dwellers, and he retired before the age of sixty.
If you want to say that you are good at fighting the swamp dwellers, the Harrett family is the second, and no one in the entire Trera Kingdom dares to call it the first!
After resting for three days in a camp called the Ash Mound, the army went out again and headed deep into the Swamp.
They have taken the time well, and now is the season for the harvest of the core crops of the Everglades. Forget about those wild monsters, but all the relatively large settlements should be busy with the autumn harvest.
Taking advantage of this time, the swamp dwellers would not have time to support each other even if they found the enemy.
"The more I think about it, the more I think this battle plan is really wonderful!" Andre said to Singled as he set up camp in the evening, "The one who came up with this plan was absolutely genius!"
Singled sighed, smiled reluctantly, and said nothing.
Was it genius to come up with this plan? I don't know. But I know that it must be fools who carry out this plan, stupid fools who can't be more stupid! Now is the time when food is at its most abundant, and the swamp dwellers can easily gather a large number of monsters. And since the death of the green dragon "Kamala III", the "Blood Axe" Ora has been connecting the various tribes of the Great Swamp all these years, and now he is running to fight the Great Swamp, which is simply hitting his head on the axe!
Of course, he also knew that his ideas were a little biased. It is unlikely that the "Blood Axe" will make a move for a small friction on the border, and this strategic plan was originally only to occupy the equivalent of a viscount. This level of fighting, which has happened many times in the past years, should not provoke a large counterattack by the swamp residents, and I believe that this is a very important reason why the old men of the royal capital approved this battle plan.
But he knew that this time the invaders would encounter an enemy that was even more terrifying than any previous battle.
He looked at Andre's confident appearance, and wanted to persuade him, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
He must keep it a secret! If the secret is leaked, maybe the trouble will be even greater......
The next day, the army continued to advance.
Although the young nobles were full of confidence, in the swamp, they did not dare to act rashly about the danger of the swamp, even if they did not know, the veterans who followed them also knew. There are dangers everywhere here, and even if you don't fight, there are many dangers that can easily kill people.
When we set up camp that night, we counted the number of people and lost twenty people.
None of the twenty were killed by the swamp dwellers, either poisoned or trapped in a bottomless quagmire.
Of course, all these people who died were ordinary soldiers, not a single noble child. Noble young masters will not take the lead in the expedition!
But it was that same night that Singerd received a message from the Inhumans.
Do it tomorrow, and be prepared for who you want to protect.
He looked at the handwriting that suddenly appeared in the basin in front of him, was silent for a while, nodded, and reached out to stir up the handwriting in the water.
When he set up camp the next day, he invited Andre and a few nobles who had a good relationship to come to the Chinese army's tent for dinner.
There is no rule in the Western Continent that "no alcohol is allowed in the army", but Singerd has always not allowed alcohol in the army, and he is afraid of drinking and making mistakes.
Today, too, although he is the host and serves the guests with wine and food, the only drinks on the table are water and juice.
For his stubbornness, Andrei and others certainly understood it for a long time. They didn't have an opinion, and they still ate and drank happily.
"You're finally cheerful!" said Andre happily, "I'll just say, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Yes, the enemy is just a pack of beasts! ”
"By the time they're done, we'll have already set up our camp. When the time comes, we will be cowering in the camp, and no matter how good they are, they will not be able to do anything about us. ”
"I never thought that the battle could be fought like this!
"I'm going to fight a hundred times like this!"
Seeing them so relaxed and happy, Singald couldn't help but laugh. Just thinking about what was going to happen later, his smile was still a little reluctant.
Just when the barracks was relaxed, a dark cloud was floating silently in the distant sky above them.
Count Lockdracula did not have the slightest sense of mutual assistance, and stared coldly at the barracks below, his eyes full of malice.
He held out his hand towards the barracks, and the roar of swords echoed around him.
"Calm down!" Panda hurriedly stopped him, "What are you doing here?"
"Rush in and kill these invaders without a single piece of armor left!"
"That's not going to work!" said the Emperor, "We're going to do what we planned!"
"Anyway, it's just to make them panic and escape, what's the difference between a demon king attack and a demon beast attack?"
"Even if you can kill them all, the traces on the corpses will be recognized!" Panda emphasized, "Anyway, they will be defeated by the demonic beasts later, so why should you expose yourself?"
Locke hesitated for a moment before he sighed, looking regretful.
The panda finally breathed a sigh of relief and glared angrily at Wang Tuhao next to him.
Panda: Why are you dragging Locke along? Don't you know this guy's temper?
Nabilin: Interesting, isn't it? And if something goes wrong, he and Tai Yi, the two fastest, can split up and kill people......
The panda looked at the murderous Locke beside him, and then looked at the corner of the "spaceship" not far away, meditating with his eyes closed, the sword light flashing around him, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
At this moment, a black curtain-like light appeared not far away, and on the other side of the light, a chaotic and violent aura poured out like a tide.
In the chat channel, Alice, the head of the project, excitedly announced:
Puppet Dramatist: Cheer, applaud! There should be thunderous cheers!
