Chapter 343: Blockade of the Morning River
On the first day after Baron Donte had come to camp outside the Baria Pass with his army, Atum had been on the tower for a long time to observe them and order his soldiers to be on guard, and he had not inquired about the situation of the troops outside for the next few days.
You can enjoy life as much as you want, and staying on the front line is even more comfortable than staying in White Sword City.
However, his irresponsible state did not affect the stability of the army in the Baria Pass at all, just as the more than 10,000 soldiers could still operate in order without him as a commander.
"My lord, I don't understand, why do we keep standing still?"
Although Atum's reaction to the war was muted, there were already people among his subordinates who could not hold back, and one of his generals quietly asked for a meeting that day.
"Linde, don't be in a hurry. ”
Atum looked a little drunk, he put down the wine glass in his hand, smiled and said to Linde, "It's not time yet, we'll have to wait for a while." ”
"But, my lord, we can't explain it to His Highness if we continue like this. Linde's expression struggled, and his words were a little heavier.
"Are you threatening me?"
A cold light flashed in Atum's eyes, and his voice gradually became a little indifferent.
"The subordinates don't dare, they just ......" Linde knelt down on one knee in fear and explained urgently, but Atum didn't listen and waved his hand to interrupt him.
"I know you're earnest, but things come step by step, and it's easy to fall if the steps are too big. The cold light in Atum's eyes converged, and he said meaningfully.
"I see, sir. ”
"Go back and wait, I'll give the order when the time comes, and you'll be busy during this time. ”
Now that the words have been said here, Linde has no reason to stay here, and Atum has made it clear that he is sending off the guests.
"The subordinates retired. ”
Looking at Linde's departing back, Atum's eyes narrowed slightly, and he picked up his wine glass again, and whispered with a little disdain, "Threat? It's as childish as a child, and it's ridiculous." ”
........................................................................
Half a month later, unlike the stability and stability on General Donte's side, Pannick is now in a huge crisis.
He had thought of every possible accident, but he had never imagined that the army from the province of Hierro would break through three cities along the waterway so quickly and attack the interior of the province of Geron.
He and his 6,000-strong army were stopped in a small town, and his vanguard army was ambushed, and 800 men were wiped out, and his strongest generals were directly killed in this ambush.
It was a great knight realm powerhouse, and according to the soldiers who had fled, he didn't even hold a move in the hands of the man in the blue armor, and was pierced through the heart by the spear in his hand in one face.
But after destroying his vanguard army, he did not lead his troops to besiege the city, but blocked the course of the Chenhe River.
If Panik wanted to retreat back into the province of Gelen as soon as possible, he would have to cross the Morning River, but their path was now completely blocked by the army led by Benlan Marlock.
Even if Ika wanted to send troops to help, he would have to defeat Ranmaro's army first, and it would have been more than a month to cross the river from other places if he had made a detour, by which time Panik's army would have been wiped out.
Now he had only one hope to break through the predicament, and that was to ask General Dont for help, but there was a stalemate with Barria Pass, and he knew with his toes that he would not send troops.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible ......"
In Dede Town, Panick held a letter with trembling hands, and his face turned a little pale, because the impact of the letter on him was too great.
What is written above is the record of Ranmarok in the past half a month, they have destroyed all the way up the Morning River, and quickly broke the fleet sent by Count Ica to stop them, and 1,500 sailors of the province of Gelen were killed in the belly of the fish overnight.
The few towns along the river, with only a few hundred garrisons, were even more desperate, and the nobles of the city fled before the arrival of Ranmaroke's fleet.
And the rotten and outdated intelligence transmission agencies in these small towns in the province of Gelen actually took three or two days before they remembered to deliver news to the troops on the front line!
Now he finally understood why Jason had been hanging unhurriedly behind his two thousand troops after slaughtering them.
They want to keep their army here.
"My lord, my lord, the army led by Jason has reached ten miles to the north, and has begun to assemble siege weapons, and their cavalry army has also come to the outside of Dede Town, led by Lancelot!"
At this moment, a soldier rushed and fell in front of him, reporting with a pale face.
"One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds. ”
The letter in Panick's hand fell to the ground, his face was pale, before he came, he thought that as long as he delayed Jason's footsteps, it would mean that he was victorious, but what he didn't expect was that he was led into a desperate situation by the other party step by step.
Now he fully understands that Jason was ready to go to war with the province of Gelen from the beginning, but it was ridiculous that they had always thought that their side had mastered the fighters.
He was even more clever in provoking the war, although he was ordered by Count Ica to declare war on Jason, but this does not clear the fact that he is a sinner.
Compared with his own arrogance, Baron Donte's side is much wiser than himself, the enemy does not move, I do not move, even if there is any accident, there is enough reaction time to prepare.
"Come with me to the wall, and order the soldiers to make a fire at once, and I will fight them to the death. ”
With a sigh, Panick slowly got up and said to his general guard, the usual confident tone had disappeared at this moment, more of a stubbornness that was unwilling to admit defeat to Jason.
On the other side, Zola sat firmly in the position of the lord of Lucca City, and standing next to her were Roland and Ronnat, who had not been seen since the beginning of the war.
"Sir Roland, this is a very important task, and I hope you will be able to complete it with my soldiers. ”
"Your Highness has already explained to me before leaving, I understand the stakes, and we will definitely not disappoint His Highness and Lord Zola. Roland replied solemnly with his sword in his hand.
Lonat behind him also had a solemn face, their mission was related to the stability of the White Sword Province, although there was a night plan for the black crow, but they still didn't dare to be careless.
"The situation in the White Sword Province is a bit complicated, and I hope you two don't let our worries come true. ”
