Chapter 137: Engel
I patted William on the shoulder: "If I leave this time, the spy will definitely have something different, you and the brothers will keep an eye on him, and if necessary, you can take him down directly." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In addition, I suspect two people, Vicente and Rachel, Vicente you know the reason, as for Rachel...... I can't say why, but it feels weird, everyone is very nervous when they hear the name of the Holy Sword Knights, only he actually advocates taking the initiative, if it is not a genius who wants to fight, he plans to transfer us out, and then kill us through the Holy Sword Knights. Vicente, I let him stay, and you keep an eye on him, as soon as you find a sign, you will immediately control it. ”
William hurriedly said, "What about Rachel, do you need me to send you a few more capable men?"
I looked away: "Your manpower is already very tight, so you don't need it." Besides, with Alvin Ann with me, a Rachel shouldn't be able to make waves. No matter what he wants, at most he can only become another Wuke. ”
William had nothing more to say, he nodded and patted me on the shoulder: "Take care!"
Yes, at such a time of crisis, there is only one sentence that can be said.
I removed some of the people from the Seventh and Eighth Brigades to guard the base, and some of the people from the old Fifteenth Brigade who could be trusted were interspersed with the Seventh and Eighth Brigades, and most of them were assigned to various brigades or combat squads to serve as captains and squad leaders. In this case, it is more secure to control the team from the bottom up.
Two hours into the meeting, we were ready for anything. Because the inventory is limited, and some weapons are left for the soldiers defending the city, the equipment of the Fourth Legion brought out is extremely simple, and it can be said that among the soldiers of the Order I have contacted, except for cannon fodder, the two guard squadrons, 3,000 cavalry, all of them are black hunting horses, broad-bladed swords, The steel shield and broad-bladed spear were equipped with two guards with a total of 1,000 men, wearing black steel chain mail, and the others were wearing black leather armor; the 3,000 infantrymen were all wearing black steel chain mail, equipped with long slashers and broad-bladed spears, and I had previously taught them the gun array I had invented through Alvin Ann, but the time was too short and they were not skilled enough; as for the 3,000 crossbowmen, all of them were black leather armor. With broadblade swords and sniper crossbows, I've kept their hand-to-hand combat equipment to a minimum, because if even they need hand-to-hand combat, the entire legion will be on the verge of collapse, and I'm not going to let that happen.
After being properly equipped, the two brigades set off one after the other. I took the personal guard team of 500 people assigned to me, stayed with the 8th Brigade, and opened the way in the lead, on the one hand, it was convenient to observe this person at close range, and on the other hand, these 500 people were all the elite of the old 15th Brigade, and they were absolutely trustworthy forces, and if Rachel made any changes, I could definitely take them down in the shortest possible time.
Tex led the Seventh Brigade to follow us three miles behind, so that if either side was attacked, the remaining side would be able to rush to the rescue or make another decision in the shortest possible time.
As I left the mouth of the valley with the Eighth Brigade and entered the endless Central Ranch, according to the information brought back by the Night Stalkers, the Knights of the Holy Sword were still nearly seventeen or eighteen miles away from Tispordin.
It's just very strange, who knows it's the Knights of the Holy Sword if you don't look at the humble banner proudly waving in the wind at the front of the ranks? It's a messy militia, and I even saw through the eyes of the night owls that some people were carrying rakes of grass, laughing and chatting with a donkey knight in front of them while marching.
It's incredible, could it be that the world-famous heroic fighter group was defeated by such a militia force?
Then, if they were equipped with the same equipment as the guards of the Svadian palace or the royal knights, how terrifying would their combat power be?
"Inform the Tex that the large force is moving northwest, against the Uruzdaq Mountains, and take cover!" I said, turning to one of the heralds.
"General, is there any news ahead?" asked Rachel as he rode up to me.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right, the vanguard of the Holy Sword Knights was found in front, probably about three thousand in number, and in the position of three miles after that, there are more than seven thousand in number. Moreover, in a fan-shaped area of seventeen or eighteen miles from there to the middle of Tishpordin, a large number of light horse scouts were distributed. ”
Rachel grew his mouth, and suddenly looked at the night owl squatting on my shoulder, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything, just "oh", and turned his horse back to his command, and soon the order was handed down, and the large force moved northwest.
I noticed the way Rachel looked at the night stalker with excitement and a hint of nervousness.
What is he nervous about?
We traveled northwest for two hours, stopping in a col in the middle of the Uruzdak Mountains to recuperate, during which time we had already made a contact between the Night Stalker base and Tex, and he replied that everything was normal.
I gently stroked the night owl's back and threw a piece of air-dried meat for him to eat, but it just pecked and threw it down impatiently.
I began to wonder again about the guy whose memories had been erased by Giggs with hypnosis, and now I don't know if he is out now, whether he can reach Uxhall safely, and from here to Uxhall, even if it is day and night, it will take three or four days, that is, before he can play his role, the best case scenario, we must support three or four days under the noses of the Knights of the Holy Sword.
"It's nothing, it's just hide and seek. I muttered.
"General, what are you talking about? I just didn't hear you. Rachel looked at me as she nibbled on her bread.
I waved my hand: "Nothing...... We rested here for four hours. ”
Rachel choked on bread all of a sudden: "Four, ahem, four hours?"
I nodded: "That's right, four hours, is there a problem?"
Rachel poured a mouthful of water: "Stop in one place for four hours, then our advantage in time difference is gone!"
I glanced at him: "I'm the boss, whatever I say, do whatever I say." Do you have an opinion?"
Rachel looked at me carefully, lowered his head and whispered, "No, no comment." ”
I sat down and continued in a daze.
Four hours later, night was falling.
Half an hour later, the Seventh Brigade of Tex arrived in the valley where we were resting, and the valley was a little crowded, and from a high vantage point it was densely covered with blackness.
The Night Stalker has sent back the news that the scouts of the Knights of the Holy Sword have covered Tezpordin, so the news of the burning of Tishpartin will definitely be sent back to Gaon soon, and after that, I will be able to get the initial information I want.
Soon, after the night owl flew back for the second time, I saw that the scouts who had been active in the vicinity of Tishpordine suddenly became densely packed like bees that had been stabbed in the hive, and they had divided into groups of two from the previous team of ten, and spread out in all directions almost without any horsepower.
This is similar to the method I used when I was looking for the Tex, the smaller the number of scouts in each group, the more information can be obtained in the widest possible area, and there is also a black usage in it, that is, after the allotted time, the scouts in that direction do not return, which means that there is something wrong in that direction.
Speaking of which, this method was first invented by Gaon, and it gradually spread among the bards along with the legendary texts about him, and in fact, I also stole it from him.
If at this time, we dragged our families and mouths on the grassland outside, under such a lightly armed scout's deadly carpet search, we would definitely be discovered, and then whether we killed the other scout or not, we would not be able to escape the fate of being chased and killed by Gaang.
I withdrew all the guards guarding the mouth of the valley, swept away all traces of the march, and kept the whole army silent, this col is still very secretive after all, although it is a little shallow, but before the entrance is separated by two or three mountain ranges, it is impossible to find it without entering.
Then, I started to release night owls frequently to scout the neighborhood.
Three hours later, the first scout of the Knights of the Holy Sword appeared nearby, following a trail of broad footprints to the vicinity, only to turn around and head north. He was a little excited, and he felt that he should have found the answer.
As a result, turning north here, he saw only a herd of thousands of horses, one of the horses of the ranch, which was being driven north by the thousand militia directly under the ranch. During this time, the fighting was mainly ignited at the southern end of the ranch, and relatively speaking, the ranch in the north was relatively peaceful.
The scout went back in disappointment.
By this time, it had been nearly four hours since we had rested in this valley, and night would soon fall, and the scouts' vision would be greatly affected, and they would not normally be reconnoitred at night, except in cases of urgency such as the one I had searched for the missing Fifteenth Brigade. That's what I'm betting on!
Sure enough, there was no mistake, judging from the information brought by the night owl, in Tessburdin, the temporary headquarters of the Knights of the Holy Sword, scouts continued to return, but no more scouts were sent out.
I finally released another night owl to reconnoiter the situation in the vicinity, at this time the night snack was already very hard, very uncooperative, almost pecked my eyes out, but in the end I still reluctantly flew once, and when I came back, I didn't want to fly again.
There are no scouts in the vicinity anymore.
I stepped onto my horse: "Stay here, Dirks, remember the plan I told you." The 7th Brigade Guards Squadron, the 8th Brigade Guards Squadron, follow me, let's put on a good show!"
