Chapter 155: Ghost Ridge
When the unlucky Lunis returned, he reported the information he had gathered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The territory of Blackstone Fort includes small villages such as Black Rock Village, Amber Village, and Pine Forest Village. The lord of the castle, Bolton Tas, was a side of the Imperial Capital Tass family, and ruled the Blackstone Fort for many years.
The standing garrison of Blackstone Fort numbered four hundred, and it was a powerful lord on the side of the River Lane. Among them, it is worth noting that in the garrison of Bolton there is a silver warrior, a low-ranking mage.
Bolton was able to rule Blackstone Fort for many years because of these two men.
"Stand aside, Lunis. Well done. Go down and claim your reward. Chen Xiao said calmly, "Go find Luo Xiaocheng, now he is our logistics minister." ”
After Lunis left, Chen Xiao fell into deep thought.
On the table in front of him, a map was spread out, which included the territory of the Dorag Empire, as well as some of the territories of neighboring countries.
The location of Rodri Village, a small dot at the bottom of the map, near the Warcraft Forest, on the shore, on the opposite side of the endless sea, what is there, this map can't relate.
More than eighty kilometers away from the village of Rodri, there is a stone and axe emblem, which is the family emblem of Blackstone Fort.
During this period, there were also some villages and towns that were not part of Blackstone's domain, some were unclaimed territories, and some belonged to other lords.
The power structure of the Dorag Empire was complex, with imperial power, cabinet ministers, lords and nobles, divided land, and occupied one city on one side.
Under the world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.
The Imperial Court provided protection to the lords and nobles, while the lord lords owed allegiance to the Empire.
However, this system gives Chen Xiao a sense of déjà vu that the princes of the world are rising together and the heroes are divided.
If he blatantly attacked Blackstone Fort and was known by the imperial court, his little imperial history would definitely be sent to the head.
The four captains, including Lux, Leon, Odorou, and Wu Tong, were all in the military conference room of the bell tower. They looked at Chen Xiao quietly, waiting for Chen Xiao's orders.
Chen Xiao tapped his finger on the map, and walked through with many thoughts in his heart.
"How about we pretend to be bandits?" Chen Xiao's face was calm, "Eighty kilometers away from the Black Stone Fort, there is a group of bandit cottages, Ghost Mountains. ”
There are many iron trees with black bark growing on the Ghost Ridge, and the leaves are mostly green to black, which is a dangerous mountain area where bandits and thieves gather.
This group of bandits, who usually rob caravans, is notorious bandits and thieves in this area.
"My lord, let me take the lead and make sure that the bandits are submissive. As soon as Leon said that he was going to fight the bandits, he laughed excitedly as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
After escaping from the Red Snail Chamber of Commerce, he subdued a bandit village near Akiba Castle.
At this time, Lyon was eager to try again.
"We are determined to train our troops. Chen Xiao glanced at the eyes of the high, shook his head and smiled: "Those recruits need some training. Odoru, all the scouts are sent out, and actual combat is the standard for testing the truth. You can't grow up without experiencing war and fire. ”
"Although it is a bit of a feeling of catching ducks on the shelves. ”
Hearing this, Odoru smiled bitterly and nodded his head: "Yes, my lord." ”
The scout team he just selected has only been integrated for a few days and has not yet completed any training, so what Chen Xiao said about "catching ducks on the shelves" is really appropriate.
Chen Xiao looked at Lux again, this chick looked extremely nervous, obviously leading the team to fight for the first time, it was still too much pressure for her. Chen Xiao smiled: "Don't be nervous. We're just dealing with some bandits. ”
The number of garrisons in Blackstone Fort is four hundred, and the guards integrated by Chen Xiaocai are at most three hundred, and most of them are new soldiers.
Chen Xiao will not be so arrogant that he immediately knocks on the Black Stone Fort to send people away.
"Let's go out with all our troops. The lion pounced on the rabbit with all his might. Chen Xiao put an infantryman's pawn at the location of the Ghost Ridge on the map.
Everyone looked at the infantry chess piece and their faces were solemn.
This is just the first appetizer.
Chen Xiao rode on the ground and walked in the front, with Lux and Leon on the left and right sides respectively. Wu Tong, Gula and other four captains led their own teams and marched in an orderly manner. Twenty scouts opened the way in front, and three hundred guards drove mightily towards the Ghost Ridge.
The sound of armor and weapons clashing is endless.
On the Ghost Ridge.
The pitch-black iron tree, whining in the wind, rustled like a ghost crying wolf.
In a sheltered valley in the Ghost Ridge, a small village is hidden in a ghostly iron forest.
The village raised livestock, poultry and beasts, and there were women and children, laughing and playing, and the simple houses were full of green smoke and peace.
After Joanda woke up, he glanced at Mrs. Zhai, who was curled up on the bed, put on a fur armor, brought belt accessories, and called the previous group of brothers as always, asking if any unlucky people had passed through the ghost ridge today.
He ate bloody roast meat and sour ale, listening to his men's reports.
"The owner of the village, the brother who watched the sentry found a group of men marching towards the Ghost Ridge. There are no flags, let alone any logos. Not like a passing caravan. ”
There was a thin face under his hand, black and dirty, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
Joanda raised a cruel smile, "Keep an eye on them, and don't mess with them if you're just passing by." If they don't know the way and they come up, let them go and have no return. ”
There are more than 200 people in the Ghost Ridge Cottage, except for dozens of old and weak women and children, the others are bandits who can kill people with knives.
If this team of 300 people enters the Ghost Ridge, it will really not be enough for them to take advantage of the time and place.
His men answered, and rushed out to convey Joanda's instructions.
Many of the bandits had sharpened their knives and licked their lips to taste the blood.
The ghost mountain is in front of you, and the black and thick iron wood covers the mountain with a layer of shadow, making it look deep and gloomy.
Chen Xiao raised his hand and motioned for the troops to stop.
Odoru's scout troops had already infiltrated the Ghost Ridge, and the twenty people were divided into echelons, passing on the surrounding information and intelligence one by one, and finally gathered into Odoru's hands.
Soon, Odoru received news from his subordinates that they had discovered the location of the Ghost Ridge Cottage.
However, the sound of the fight also sounded.
Odoru's figure was ghostly, moving rapidly through the ghostly mountains, sneaking towards the sound of the fight.
The subordinates he selected were all clever people, and although the scout methods were a little jerky and easy to show flaws, they were all seedlings worth cultivating. Naturally, he didn't want to lose them.
The dagger shot out like a viper, striking the sentry bandit's eyebrow, and a bright red liquid splattered out, drenching the scout in front of him.
The scout had just been caught in a vicious battle, and he was about to be killed, but he was rescued by Odoru, and the thrilling experience made him sit down and gasp for air.
"I'm not dead. The scout's heart was palpitating, but his eyes were brighter.
He already knew the crux of his hidden discovery, and he wouldn't make such a low-level mistake next time.
He glanced at Odoru, stood up, and quickly disposed of the corpse of the sentry bandit, covering the scene of the fight, and took off the bandit's clothes, put them on himself, and smeared blood and mud on his face to cover his face.
After doing all this, the scout grabbed his machete and hid his figure in the woods, continuing his work of easing for information.
Odoru watched his men move and nodded secretly, a smile curling into his mouth.
This young man is a good seedling that can be cultivated.
His body melted into the air like water and disappeared into the black forest.
He is the captain of the scout, not only to spy on intelligence, but also to keep an eye on these recruits, and he has a long way to go.
