Although he was away for a few days, under the supervision of the rock hammer, everything was in order in the reading brigade, and the daily training never stopped.

With the orders of Count Octavia, Leon changed the name of the Reading Brigade to the Thunderbeast Brigade, and set up a new banner of the Thunderbeast Brigade in the camp.

That night, while the Thunderbeast Brigade was nervously preparing for departure, a wagon full of goods drove into the barracks.

As he was about to leave, Leon finally waited for the Halo Talisman that High Priest Faense had raised for him.

"There are a total of 3,000 talismans, of which 2,000 are healing and restoration, and 1,000 are divine blessings..."The white-robed priest in charge of the transportation handed a thick scroll into Leon's hand: "This is the information given to you by the high priest, and there is also a map of the north in it, please keep it." ”

The white-robed priest was a confidant of the High Priest of Faennes, and had a relationship with Leon at the Temple of Tormund.

"The high priest has learned about the situation in the north and knows that you will go on an expedition tomorrow, so you can use these three thousand talismans first, and as for the money, we will talk about it later. The white-robed priest paused and continued, "The high priest tells you to be careful, he is waiting for the news of your victorious return in the king's capital!"

"Please convey to the High Priest on my behalf that Leon and Salling will never forget today's help, thank you!" Leon took the scroll and saluted the other.

These 3,000 talismans are too important to the Thunder Beast Brigade, although it is said that the Third War Regiment is accompanied by a group of shamans, but it is impossible for the priests accompanying the army to follow behind the Thunder Beast Brigade all the time to provide healing support, and it is the most reliable guarantee to be equipped with talismans.

The next morning, before dawn, 10,000 Bimon soldiers of the Third War Regiment rose out of camp and urgently went to the north for reinforcements.

Before leaving, Count Octavia received an official order from the kingdom to tasked with blocking the barbarians' southward passage and retaking Valen.

Since the territorial army still needs to be reorganized and trained, the kingdom has deployed more transport wagons for the third war group.

The Count of Octavia ordered the abandonment of some bulky supplies, so the warband could be said to be lightly armed, and without the drag of the territorial army, the speed of progress was much faster than before.

After four days and three nights of almost non-stop marching, the 3rd Regiment left the Shengyao Province and entered the Far North Province.

After resting overnight in a small town on the border of the two provinces, the 3rd Regiment turned northeast, aiming for the city of Valen.

Although the southern part of the continent now has the breath of spring, it is still icy and snowy, and everywhere you can see is a white expanse, and the plains flooded by heavy snow are uninhabited.

There were no pedestrians on the main road at all, and the originally smooth road was made difficult to navigate due to the snow and ice, and the speed of the warband had to slow down.

Snow and ice are a common occurrence here, and the changing weather is completely unpredictable, and it may be sunny just a moment later.

The warriors in the carriages wrapped themselves in animal skin robes and gathered together to defend themselves against the wind and snow, and with few stops on the road, a hot meal and soup became a luxury.

On the third day of entering the Far North Province, the weather improved, the wind and snow disappeared, and the 3rd Regiment was able to pick up speed again.

At this time, Count Octavia received intelligence news from Icepeak City.

Transmitting information on the Radiant Continent, although it is not as convenient and popular as the radio of Leon's original world, there are also various means that can be used, and the third war group has more than a dozen green falcons, which are no more than the size of a rooster and fly extremely fast, and can be used to transmit information after training.

Intelligence shows that the northern front is still in a state of stalemate, and the barbarian coalition army did not take advantage of the situation to attack Icepeak City after capturing Valen, and the remaining troops there have been strengthening the defense of the city walls.

On the Western Front, however, there was a large build-up of troops, and the garrisons of the Far North Province were now on high alert, and a large-scale war could break out at any time.

The Far North garrison demanded that the 3rd Regiment continue its original mission of keeping an eye on the barbarian army in Valen, to ensure that the enemy would not attack from the flanks in the event of a major battle.

On the seventh day of entering the Far North Province, the Third War Regiment arrived at White Rock City, which was no more than a hundred miles away from Valen City.

White Rock City is a small northland city with a population of less than 10,000 and a large garrison.

Since the fall of Valen, the city's inhabitants have been urgently evacuated to Icepeak, but the garrison has stayed behind to meet the 3rd Warband.

In the period when the Third War Regiment had not yet arrived, the garrison of White Rock City could be said to have taken care of their hearts, and with their strength, they could not resist the barbarian army at all, and the walls of White Rock City were only ten feet high, and their defense was weak.

However, the worst did not happen, the enemy did not come, and the 3rd War Regiment arrived in time, which greatly relieved the garrison commander in the city.

However, the third war group here was already at the end of its strong crossbow, and after more than ten days of arduous nights and nights from Ugru to here, every soldier was very tired, and his physical strength dropped even more.

Most of the warriors of the Third War Regiment came from the south, and they were not adapted to the cold climate of the north, and despite the preparation of the cold, many of them still suffered frostbite and needed to be treated by the shaman.

Fortunately, White Rock City provided shelter for 10,000 soldiers, and since all the residents were evacuated, the houses here were enough for everyone to occupy, and after a day's rest, the soldiers who had eaten two hot meals quickly recovered their spirits.

Count Octavia officially took over the city of White Stone, including a thousand local garrisons, and he ordered the city's defenses to be strengthened.

Heavy crossbows were placed on the city walls, heavily armed warriors began to patrol the walls, and scouts braved the wind and snow to enter the ice fields to spy on information, and all preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

On the third day of his residency in White Rock, Count Octavia convened a military council again to discuss the next plan of action.

"We can't wait here for the enemy to come to our door," the Count told all the commanders in an unshakable tone, "We must test the possibility of retaking Valen!"

In the Tormund garrison, the commander of the Third Regiment, Count Octavia, was known for his calm surname and protracted warfare, but it would be a mistake to think that he was not adventurous.

In the eyes of Count Octavia, there is a reason why the barbarians have occupied Valen City for two weeks and have not continued to attack Icepeak City south.

First of all, in the battle of Valen, the entire army of the Kingdom Garrison was wiped out, and the battle was until the last moment, 7,000 soldiers were killed, and the enemy's losses were not small or even more.

Therefore, the barbarians were not able to launch a new attack for the time being, and only used the location of Valen City to deter the flank of the northern defense line, so that the Kingdom garrison had to send troops to guard it.

Secondly, Valen City is also hundreds of miles away from the nearest barbarian city, and in the frequent snowstorms of the Far North Ice Field, it is not easy to transport both soldiers and materials, although the barbarians have the support of the human race, but the barbarian army in Valen City will not have sufficient war materials.

They also need to get better weather and get supplies through the ports on the east coast, and this is not a short road.

These two reasons should be the most important factors in the enemy's immobility so far, and Count Octavia also developed a bold plan on the basis of them.

He decided to launch a tentative assault on Valen to attract the attention of the enemy, while sending a detachment from the east to the rear to attack the barbarians' supply lines.

If they can successfully cut off the supply of the barbarian army in Valen, then it will be possible for the Third Wargroup to retake Valen.

"I know that this mission is very dangerous, deep in the rear of the enemy is unknown, coupled with the harsh climate..."Octavia's lion eyes glanced at his men, "Which of you would like to take on this mission?"

As soon as the earl's words fell, several sonorous voices sounded at the same time.

"Me!"

"The first battalion is willing to fight!"

As the elite force of the garrison of the Southwest Province, the Third War Regiment has a rather glorious history, and every commander has a brave spirit, so he naturally chooses to stand up at this critical moment.

"Lord Count, "Your Excellency, please leave this task to our Thunderbeast Brigade!" Leon spoke, meeting Octavia's gaze and saying in a deep voice, "We are the best!"

Count Octavia gave Leon a deep look, and finally nodded: "Okay!

In Octavia's plan, the Thunderbeast Brigade is indeed the most suitable, so each battalion of the Third War Regiment is a reading force formation with its own role, and if a raiding team is dispatched, it will be affected by the transfer from any of the war camps.

It's just that he promised never to impose a dangerous task on the Thunder Beast Brigade before, of course, he must abide by his promise, and now Leon takes the initiative to take the task is naturally the best result.

And for Leon, although this mission is dangerous, but after going out, the Thunder Beast Brigade has complete autonomy, and Leon can fight according to his own ideas, once Count Octavia's plan is successful, the Thunder Beast Brigade's combat exploits will inevitably be the first.

A plan was worked out, and the 3rd War Regiment immediately began its pre-battle preparations.

At Leon's request, the Third Warband provided the Thunderbeast Brigade with five shamans and two guides, these five shamans were not the strongest, but they were all strong and capable of fighting hard.

Shamans are indispensable in the war against the barbarians, not only providing support and healing for the warriors, but also shouldering the heavy responsibility of fighting the Terran mercenary mages in the barbarian army.
