Chapter 7: Abandon the Castle!
Walking through the jungle, Roy quickly found the team.
"Are you all ready?" Roy asked, walking over to Thorge, who was in command, looking at the rushing waterfall in front of him.
"Soon," Thorge said excitedly, "Sir, how did you find this place?!"
The place Roy chose was a secluded mountain col.
A small river winds from west to east, and as it passes through it, it drops as high as 20 meters, forming a waterfall that is 40 meters wide.
The waterfall is fast-flowing. The white curtain of water crashes against the rocks at the bottom of the river, splashing the water. The water mist was thick, spreading all the way to a distance of twenty meters.
If you look at it from another person, this is not a qualified ambush point at all.
The river under the waterfall is so shallow that even the legs of the war horses cannot be submerged. And the terrain is flat and wide, and at a glance, all the qiē can be seen, and there is no way to hide people.
The steep cliffs to the north of the waterfall and the dense woods to the south are more appropriate than here.
However, if anyone knew that behind the waterfall, the sloping cliff formed a natural hollow, I am afraid that they would not think so.
Lying behind the waterfall, the rushing water and the diffuse mist are the perfect barrier.
Coming from the north, the Iron Lun team descended the rugged path on the steep cliff that allowed only one person, and as they cautiously approached the wide riverbank, their nerves would inevitably relax.
They will drink water, or rest. to soothe the tense muscles they had caused as they struggled down the steep path.
Even if they didn't do anything, as long as they crossed the shallow valley in front of the falls, twenty Celestial Knights would suddenly smash into their flanks from the falls.
It was an absolute disaster for the Knights of Phila.
Not only that, but Roy was in the jungle to the south. A series of traps were laid. As soon as the Knights of Ferray plunged headlong into it, they would understand that something was waiting for them there.
Looking at the whole arrangement, Thorge looked at Roy with admiration in his eyes.
He had no doubt that a little Tielun had stepped into this trap. He and his troops will suffer heavy losses!
If you can really kill Tie Lun......
Thorge's heart was beating faster and faster. There is no doubt that this is definitely a glory that is enough to boast of for a lifetime, a feats that a soldier dreams of!
Not to mention the glory and wealth, just the record of this strong stroke in the history of Solan's army can make the brothers of the Muni City Guard red-eyed with jealousy!
As they spoke, the knights had already walked into the waterfall one after another. The roaring water and the diffuse mist obscured their figures. Miki and the Elven Hunters, on the other hand, quickly cleaned up the surrounding traces.
"Sir, did you think Tielun would go from here?" asked Thorge.
Although it is known that this is the only way to the north. However, Sog still has some gains and losses.
Such a perfect trap, it would be a shame if it didn't work. And once Tielun escapes, the battle situation in the fjord will be in danger again.
From the city of Medin to here, from seeing no hope to annihilating Nazi, annihilating Bouz. Step by step, through hardships. Finally, the light is dawning.
This qiē was so hard-won, and Soge didn't want to waste his efforts.
"Will it come?" Roy turned his head, the confused expression on his face that made Thorge look unconfident.
Sogg's face was black. This prefect has created countless miracles. But his confused appearance always makes people can't help but have a feeling of "does this kid really know what he's doing".
"Okay," Thorge smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders, looking at the steep cliff path north of the falls. "There are three ways to get to the Eastern Front, and even if they don't take the double-eyed well, it stands to reason that they should choose the trade route. That's a lot faster. But why did they choose this most rugged road?"
"They're probably hiding from us, right? After all, they don't know the size of our team, they don't know our strength, and from Nazi and Buzz's point of view, their best bet is to stay away from us and avoid being overtaken by us from behind on the road. ”
Roy analyzed, thought about it, and pulled out the map.
"If you take the trail, they will not be used to it either, but it will make it very difficult for us to pursue. Moreover, the scouts of the Black Lightning Knights are very elite. They can play their role in the mountains and forests to the greatest extent.
With their cover-up, their whereabouts can be hidden, and we are likely to pursue them down the wrong path. ”
Roy's finger followed the trade road north, then looked at the path leading to the Bologni mines, and suddenly, his gaze stopped at a point where the two intersected.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered the confession of the Philip scout he had caught in the hollow of the tree earlier.
According to the scout, Tielun received an order from Makuya to rush north to the edge of the war zone, and then turn southeast to the eastern front to join Makuya. However, when he saw this route that obviously detoured dozens of kilometers, Roy suddenly felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined.
The leader of the Five Heroes is tasked with capturing these five strategic locations in the northern fjord theater.
And after Nazi and Buz were annihilated by themselves, the forces of the curtain night were reduced by two-fifths. This means that his time will become more urgent.
Under such circumstances, he asked Tie Lun to go around so far to the Eastern Front, just to get rid of the pursuers and join him, which was obviously a little unreasonable.
Roy's eyes narrowed.
Curtain Night will not make meaningless choices unless ...... Their meeting point, and at the same time their destination!
As soon as he figured this out, it only took three seconds for Roy to decide what he wanted to do.
He wants to unite Tielun and Zisen to intercept Eugene!
As long as the first reinforcements of Muni City were defeated, he would have enough time and space to turn back and storm the fjord for Minai's arrival.
Looking at the map, Roy's mind raced.
Now that all the forces have been gathered, it will not be useful for the Solan army to disperse and defend various important places.
Now the confrontation between the two sides is no longer limited to one city and one place. Want to win this battle. The best thing to do is to take out the opponent!
If you can concentrate your strength at night, why can't you yourself?
Roy looked at the location of Redstone Hill and then at the warm water lake, and a crazy thought jumped into his mind.
"Mi Feng!" Roy shouted.
Soon, the sturdy male elf leaped down from the treetops. Appears in front of Roy.
"You hurry up to Huishuihu Castle now," Roy said, "help me bring a letter to Todd." ”
..............................
..............................
Standing at the warm lake castle after the rain and looking into the distance, you will have a feeling of relaxation and joy.
The summer heat is washed away by the rain, and the air is fresh. The surrounding mountains are lush and green, the warm water lake in the distance is rippling, and a few freshwater gulls are flying, like white elves.
After less than two prayers, Anne couldn't sleep.
She walked out of the barracks. Take an aimless walk through the messy castle. When the busy men and the soldiers of the garrison saw this beautiful female midshipman, they all saluted respectfully.
They all know that this seemingly gentle and delicate girl is also a member of the army that has created a miracle. Especially a girl, who also went to the battlefield to kill the enemy like a man, and also annihilated two elite Feilie Knight troops, it is even more respectable.
In response to the warm greetings of the people, Anne walked up to the city wall.
A fresh breeze after the rain. Bring a touch of coolness.
Walk along the pheasant moat, near the arrow tower. Anne saw Malt.
The elf girl was lying on the city wall, holding her chin with her hands, staring blankly into the distance.
In the corner of the silent city wall, she is like a small white flower in full bloom, pure and beautiful. People can't help but feel a sense of pampering. I don't want her to be hurt in any way.
The walls are not deserted.
The soldiers of the defenders patrolled dutifully, and the men carried the supplies and equipment for the defense of the city.
However, everyone invariably avoided the place where Mai'er stood, as if they were afraid of disturbing her.
And a few guards more than a dozen meters away were not so much guarding the city walls. It's more like guarding the malt. They were fascinated by her, consciously protected her, and felt that it was naturally the way it should be.
Anne had seen many elves, but Malt always gave her a feeling that was completely different from the other elves. Her beauty has a natural charm. Men will indulge in her wandering eye waves, haunted by her smile. Women, on the other hand, find it difficult to feel any jealousy of her.
Hearing Anne's footsteps, Malt turned her head.
"Didn't you sleep?" Seeing that Malt saw herself, Anne stroked the rough pheasant with her bare hand, and walked over with a light gait.
"After sleeping for a while, I couldn't sleep. Malt smiled slightly.
"Are you worried about him?" asked Anne.
Malt smiled, took Anne's hand, and looked to the north: "Aren't you too?"
Anne's smile froze slightly.
She turned her head to look at Malt. The elf girl naturally held her arm, like a close friend who had known her for many years. Her eyes looked into the distance, and there was no temptation in her beautiful eyes, no wit, only full of worry.
Anne opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't.
Ever since Anne was pulled back from the brink of death by Roy at the Storm Tavern, the seemingly impregnable line of defense in her heart has completely collapsed.
She finally confirms her feelings for Roy.
This young man, who used to be on the haystack and looked at the stars side by side with her barefoot, has unconsciously entered her heart. The once young and simple friendship has unconsciously turned into a girl's love that tosses and turns.
The prince charming in his dream when he was young has long since disappeared.
Instead, the dark-haired boy's confused and evil smile appeared in his dreams from time to time.
However, Anne knew that she was not a malt.
During the Bollabel Change, Anne followed her mother through the ranks of fleeing nobles and guards, and she had no idea what was going on. Roy was forced to jump off a cliff, all of which they had only heard about later.
Although after hearing the news, Anne was sad for a long time. However, the difficult life and the cold reality forced her to forget about her jì and smile at the request of her brother Rice. With his own beauty, he was welcomed among the children of the nobility.
At that time, Malt was by Roy's side and never left him.
Malt and Roy share a story that Anne doesn't have. Therefore, even if she confirmed her feelings for Roy, Anne was not ready to release him. Especially in front of Malt.
But Anne didn't expect it. Mai'er grabbed her arm so naturally and said such a sentence.
"Malt ......," Anne whispered.
"Huh?" Malt lifted her eyelashes and looked at Anne.
She knew that Roy's bastard didn't matter on the surface, but secretly, he did a lot for Anne.
At the Storm Tavern, he was desperately injured to kill Iron One, because that guy almost killed Annie.
Bollabelle's people are all off-limits in Roy's mind. No one can touch it.
And Anne, Miss Pollabel, is the goddess of every boy's dream, and I don't know how many times I have been dreamed of by that former little handyman, to say that he has no feelings for Anne, the ghost believes it!
However, it doesn't matter to the malt.
It's a patriarchal world. This is true not only in the human world, but also in the demon world. It's just the most normal thing for a man to have several women. Not to mention. For the Dark Elves, there is only one man and one woman on some kind of battlefield. It's too boring.
Well, besides Anne, the twin sisters are not bad either.
And that Julie, although she is just a civilian girl with a low status, can be seen by the eyes of the dark elves, her charm is hidden in her bones. It's a rare stunner.
As for Miki, damn it, she can't get too close to Roy. Otherwise, there may be a real fight!
Looking at Malt's clear gaze, Anne naturally didn't know about these messy things in her heart. Just comforted: "Don't worry, he will be back." ”
"Of course. Malt laughed.
She rested her head on Anne's shoulder and thought, "Roy, if you dare not come back, I'll eat Anne first!"
Todd stood on the city wall, looked at the two girls snuggled together, and smiled slightly.
After a short rest, the army from the city of Medin had recovered some of its spirits.
Many of them had already gotten up and wandered around the castle.
Some were gobbling up food, some were running to the stables to take care of their horses, and some were simply sitting on the ground, chatting with the defenders.
Several officers also ran to the city wall, and stood beside them, constantly looking north.
Obviously, everyone was worried about the twenty knights who braved the heavy rain to rush out of the castle in pursuit of the Philip army.
Regarding the one qiē that took place at the castle of the warm water lake, Todd had already informed the rear of the letter to Guò Falcon. And the second letter falcon that came back brought good news.
Miss Sophia is back. And she's on her way to the fjord!
When Todd made the announcement, the castle was filled with cheers.
Everyone jumped and jumped happily, high-fived each other.
Everyone said that the Warm Lake Castle was saved now. When Miss Sophia arrives, it won't be easy to drive Freygo out of the fjord?
These Phillips have tasted Miss Sophia's power before. And this time, it's time for them to try it again. So that they will not dare to fight Lulian's idea in the next life!
However, as the commander of the garrison of Warm Lake Castle, Todd is not so optimistic.
Although the cavalry unit of Medin City in the castle has annihilated two Feilie armies one after another, the enemy still has an advantage in strength in this war zone.
If you are a little careless, this good situation will be sent away in a blink of an eye.
Besides, the main force of Philip is behind. It is said that Mina himself led it. It won't be long before they'll arrive in Fiordland, and they'll be flooding in.
Now, both sides are buying time.
If we can't kill another Ferri army and let the plan for the reunion of several Ferret's armies fail, I am afraid that even if reinforcements from Medin City and Muni City arrive, they will be pinned down between the east and west lines of Redstone Hill and Warm Water Lake. It was not possible to establish a blocking line against the main force of Filie.
However, can twenty knights kill Tie Lun?
Todd didn't have a bottom at all.
What made him even more anxious was that he and his soldiers had been trapped in this castle since the beginning of the war. It doesn't work at all! Do you just wait for the dust to settle down in the end?
In addition to contacting the rear, Todd also made contact with Redstone Hills.
After hearing that Roy had annihilated the two forces of Nazi and Buzz one after another, it would be an exaggeration to say that the cheers of Redstone Hill could be heard even in the warm water lake.
Not only the soldiers were excited, but even Yank did not hide his excitement and joy in his reply.
"I knew that kid could do it! How can a guy who can fight with Yank not have any skills?" Yank did not forget to raise himself in the letter, and he finally said, "Sue Sù Roy, we will follow his command, let us do whatever we want." As long as he wins this battle, Lao Tzu will plead guilty to him. If you want to fight or kill, you can't say anything!"
He's talking about it, but where is Todd going to find Roy?
The boy had been here for less than five minutes, and now he was even deeper into the vast mountains and forests, and he was nowhere to be found. I don't know what happened to them now.
Just when Todd was at a loss, suddenly, a guard reported and asked to see him.
Mi Feng!
The Elven Ranger who was the first to pass on the information!
Todd ran down the wall as fast as he could.
"How's that?" Todd asked anxiously at the first glance of Mikaze.
"Mr. Todd," Mi Feng said, "we have caught up with Tie Lun, and the young master is about to give them a hard blow. However, he asked me to come back because of one thing, and I need your help. ”
"What's the matter?" Todd's eyes lit up.
"The young master asked me to inform you, as well as the defenders of Hongshi Hills, all abandon the castle and advance to the north. Mi Feng handed over a letter, "This is written to you by the young master." ”
"Give up the castle?" Todd was stunned
