If you can't get rid of all the Spartan warriors who are at the forefront of the defense line of the Baria Pass, it will be even more difficult to conquer the Baria Pass.

The first two battles had already illustrated this, and even if the defenders of Baria Pass could not withstand their frenzied attacks and retreated temporarily, the Spartan warriors would soon retake the walls with a group of death-defying daredevils.

Cecil understands this, but he doesn't have the slightest clue to get rid of this terrifying team.

Because this group of Spartan warriors is all made up of extraordinary and strong men.

And I don't know if there are a hundred people in the army brought by Hicks, most of these people are the personal guards of the nobles, and the number of strong people in the army is small.

And if this group of nobles wanted to contribute their masters to participate in the siege of the city, Cecil felt that this matter was much more difficult than using ordinary soldiers to kill that extraordinary army.

That's why he wasn't particularly optimistic about this combined army composed of more than a dozen large and small nobles' private soldiers and 20,000 kingdom guards, this army was full of intrigue and competing interests between nobles, and even every time the general who led the army to attack the city had to vote privately.

Earl Hicks had a great deal of control over the army, but since Ivan extorted an army from him and acted on his own, Hicks did nothing.

Although he is still the supreme commander of this army, the people under him have already appeared to be in disobedience.

If he had a choice, he would prefer to attack Jason with the Third Heavy Legion, even if that Marshal Levi was a strong general who was not easy to get along with.

Seven days later, the Earl of Hicks's army had been unable to conquer the Baria Pass for a long time, and several large-scale soldiers' riots broke out in the barracks due to the lack of food and grass, resulting in extremely low morale.

Some soldiers have even developed a resistance to going to the battlefield, and the rate of execution of barracks orders has dropped considerably.

Some of the nobles demanded that the Earl of Hicks retreat immediately, retreat to the fortress and make another plan, otherwise the army of more than 40,000 would turn from hungry wolves to lambs to the slaughter when the army was exhausted.

However, the Earl of Hicks, fearing that he would suffer a huge blow and punishment when he returned to Phil's sphere of influence, insisted on refusing to retreat, believing that the defenders of Baria Pass had already lost more than half of their losses, and now it was only the end of the crossbow.

As a result, the two sides had their own opinions, which led to a huge contradiction and almost led to a large-scale military conflict.

Seeing that the situation was not good, General Cecil had to borrow Sandra's power again, and with the help of Bray, stabilized the chaotic situation.

and ordered to pull out the camp, return to settle the fortress, and wait until the logistics were cleared before returning to continue the attack on the Baria Pass, or switch to the Morning River front, and break the Dede Town defense line garrisoned by Jason in one fell swoop.

As for the plan to plunder the grain stocks in the villages and towns south of the Barya Pass, they directly rejected it, not to mention that most of the villagers here had been evacuated by Atum in advance.

The civilians who did not have time to retreat were also poor jingles, and they did not even have enough food for their own winter, let alone 40,000 troops.

Moreover, Cecil intended to wrest command of this army from Count Hicks, so he had already written a letter to Slovin when there were voices in the barracks of retreat and continued assault.

On the other side, Jason has also been in a very difficult situation in the past few days, and the Third Heavy Armor Army has given him a head-on blow very simply.

The terrain of Dede Town is really not suitable for defending, even after later reinforcement and repair, it only lasted three days before Levi led troops to break through the city wall.

He Jason didn't have a second army as terrifying as the Spartan warriors, and he didn't dare to risk the lives of ordinary soldiers to storm the city walls, which would only increase casualties.

So he very simply led his army to continue to retreat north, and held the nearest town to Dede, the city of Morun, which is not comparable to a small town like Dede.

Moreover, there was a large number of war equipment that Jason had just transported from the north, including a large number of garrison materials, and he planned to take advantage of the weakness of the Third Heavy Armor Legion not to carry a large number of siege equipment, and use the nearly ten-meter-high wall of Morun City to deal with Marshal Levi.

And Marshal Levi was also worried that Jason would set up an ambush on the way to retreat, so he did not order a pursuit, but chose to camp in Dede Town for a short rest.

At the same time, for unknown reasons, Lancelot has no news after breaking through the small town of Nora and burning Earl Hicks's military rations, and even Jason has a hard time contacting him.

It's just that now that the Third Heavy Armor Legion is on the offensive, Jason has no time to worry about it, so he can only pray that Lancelot will be safe.

At this moment, Lancelot and his more than 2,000 soldiers came to the border between the White Sword Province and the Gelicene Province at this time.

Lancelot originally planned to return to the Morning River defense line after breaking through Nora Town, but halfway through, he learned that the Third Heavy Armor Army had broken through the Morning River blockade line of Jason and Ranmarok, and the town of Dede was in danger.

Therefore, the plan to return the same way no longer works, otherwise it is more likely that they will run into the third heavy armor army head-on.

The road back to Lucca from the other side through the northern mountains was too long and inconvenient, and by the time he returned to the north, the battle on Jason's side might have ended.

Therefore, he immediately decided to cross the desolate wilderness between the Zhelun Province and the White Sword Province and go to the interior of the Zhelun Province to do things.

The army of the province of Gelen has been crippled, and now the total number of defenders in the entire province is not necessarily 3,000, and most of them have been transferred to the garrison.

"My lord, this wilderness is one of the forbidden areas in the north, and because it is so desolate that there are no inhabitants at all, it is a no-man's land, and now it is occupied by some gang of thieves who have fled from the north. A low-ranking general came to Lancelot's side and looked at the plain in the distance with a solemn expression.

There have been huge wars here on both sides of the battle between barbarians and humans, and ghosts haunt the hunters of the north.

And since Jason launched an operation to suppress bandits in the north some time ago, most of the robber gangs in the north had to come to this no-man's land to hide.

Lancelot nodded his head to indicate that he knew, and then replied, "I know, but this is the closest road we have to the province of Gelen. ”
