Chapter 6: The Truth of the "Iron Army".
Spell confrontation is the result of a comprehensive comparison of "quality" and "quantity", and the stealth skills on the traversers are very high, but once they are confronted with war-level spells, they are still invincible - if you want to infiltrate the barracks, compared to the stealth skills that will cause spell confrontations, it is more appropriate to stealth skills of the thief system.
Of course, the traversers knew about these things, but they didn't care—being able to get close to the range of the anti-stealth spell was enough for them.
When the spell on their bodies disappeared, they did not hesitate and immediately rushed out. The figures were like arrows from the string, so that the Thracian sentinels had no time to resist. Those who reacted faster had time to shout "enemy attack," and those who reacted slower did not even have time to shout, and were knocked unconscious.
"Let's go!"
As soon as the panda gave the order, everyone immediately ran away with the captured sentry without delay. When the Thracian army leaders arrived, they saw only collapsed sentry tents, and several sentries were gone.
Of course, they refused to give up and immediately sent out men to search everywhere. But where could they find it in the darkness of the night? It wasn't until dawn that they finally found some clues. Following these traces, I found the temporary camp of the traversers, but I still didn't find the traversers.
"Where did they go?" In the temporary camp that had long been empty, a Thracian tracker carefully observed the traces around him, and wondered, "The whereabouts of seven or eight people shouldn't have just disappeared!"
"Maybe it flew into the sky. Another scout who was good at tracking sighed, "I wouldn't be surprised that less than ten men dared to attack our battalion, and that they were able to fly away." ”
Tracking masters, you look at me, I look at you, sighing, unthinkable.
Of course, flying in the sky will also leave traces, but if you want to trace such traces, it is not something that mortals can do. At the very least, you have to be a great magician to be able to do it.
What's more, what if it's tracked? Maybe you just fall into the trap.
The Thracians eventually gave up the pursuit and simply reported the attack to the king, waiting for the king's decision.
"Keep marching!" Richard pondered for a long time after getting the news, and finally made a decision.
In his opinion, even if the news leaked, it would not affect the operation of the Thracian army. The Earl of Tara Khan suffered a plague a few years ago, and in order to fight against the terrifying demons and the monster army under his command, Tara Khan's elite troops were almost completely lost, and even the former Count of Tara Khan, known as the "Cunning Fox of the Northland", was seriously injured. Civil strife ensued in the Tara Khan family, and the eldest son attempted to seize power while his father was seriously ill, but was taken down in one fell swoop, and the second son became the heir instead, and soon became an official earl.
Although the new earl was the opposite of his rude and barbaric image before he succeeded to the throne, he was an excellent lord who was gentle and diligent, self-disciplined and thrifty, and good at recruiting talents and developing his territory, after all, the Tara Khan Domain had already broken his muscles and bones before, and it was definitely not something that could be done in just two or three years if he wanted to make up for the loss of thousands of elite soldiers. The current Tara Khan Collar is a fat fat sheep with money, but he can't fight.
And the weather is now enough to make it difficult for the lords who want to support Tara Khan to send a large army in time - the end of the year and the beginning of the year are the coldest time of the year. Although the weather in the Kingdom of Terrela is a little warmer, it is still very difficult to assemble a large army in this weather.
Those who are strong have a vindictive amulet, but that's fine. In such weather, ordinary soldiers who travel long distances in the cold wind and heavy snow are prone to disease, and perhaps half or more will die before the battle begins.
It is impossible for the lords of Trera to pay such a huge price in order to support the Tara Khan Domain.
As for the Trella royal family, the same is true.
After letting the herald pass the order, King Richard sat in his chair and thought for a long time before he said to the Ice Swordmaster beside him, "What do you think the Terella royal family will do?"
"Probably some masters will be sent to Tara Khan to help. ”
"I think so. Richard nodded, "It won't help much." ”
By this time, the traversers had already taken a few captured sentries to a mountain more than a hundred miles from the Thracian military camp.
As the trackers had guessed, shortly after leaving the Thracian barracks, they cast a flying spell and went straight into the sky. flew out hundreds of miles in one breath before finding a mountain peak to fall down.
After landing, they did not immediately begin to interrogate the Thracian sentinels, but first set up a makeshift camp and used spells to hypnotize the soldiers and make them lie down for the time being.
Of course, this is also for the sake of safety, the world of spells is unpredictable, and it may be that someone is casting spells at this time, trying to track down their whereabouts with the help of the consciousness of these soldiers. Directly hypnotizing them and putting them to sleep can effectively avoid tracking.
It took hours of busyness, and several masking spells, before they started to wake up a Thracian sentry.
Under the magic of the traversers, ordinary people can't keep secrets at all, and they really have to answer questions. But unfortunately, this sentry was only a knight's servant, and he knew nothing.
According to him, he was a member of the regiment of the Thracian royal family, and had recently been ordered to go on the expedition. The knight to whom he was loyal seemed to have something on his mind, but he had never told him, and he didn't know why.
In fact, several sentinels gave similar answers.
They were all knightly servants and fought with the knights. Although their strength is good, their status is not high, and of course it is impossible to know those real secrets. But from the analysis of their words, some problems can also be found.
For example, their cavalry set off first, and when they arrived at the territory of the Marquis of Drake on the border, they joined the infantry that joined behind - which means that the infantry must have already assembled in the territory of the Marquis of Drake, and may have even been training for some time.
For example, the command system of the infantry was completely independent and did not interfere with the cavalry. They didn't usually have much to do with each other, and the knights even warned their subordinates not to approach the infantry casually - this not only meant that the relationship between the two sides was not good, but also that the infantry had some ulterior secrets that needed to be carefully concealed.
After careful investigation, the traversers finally found a very secret and very important clue: a knight Hu Servant had occasionally come into close contact with several infantry when he first sent out his troops.
As for the knight's servant, everyone just passed by, they didn't talk, and he didn't remember any information. But when he was deeply hypnotized with hypnotic spells and brought his memory back to that moment, he said something amazing.
The infantrymen's faces were a little pale, and their eyes were a little glazed.
Hearing this description, the eyes of the traversers immediately lit up.
They already know the truth about this group of weird "iron army"!
