After two days of rest, the Thunder Beast warriors had completely recovered both mentally and physically.

They took over the defense of White Rock and strengthened the city's defenses, and the Ranger Scouts were sent out to guard the surrounding area.

This made the original garrison soldiers in White Rock City very puzzled, in their opinion, White Rock City is very safe now, unless the army attacking Valen City is defeated, they can rest easy here, why do they need to make such a big move.

But Leon's idea is different from theirs, and his belief in the concept of war is that an army must be in a state of readiness at all times in order to be able to meet various challenges, and once it is at ease, then the morale and fighting spirit will become more and more low with the passage of time.

Tired soldiers can rest and recover their bodies, but the string in their hearts can not be relaxed, and the regular training, patrol, and vigilance tasks are the conditions to ensure their strong fighting spirit, once they are called by the front line, they can be thrown into the brutal battle at the first time.

And he himself personally supervised the training of the Thunderbeast warriors, patrolling various parts of the city every day to monitor the situation of the defenses.

White Rock City is a small city, originally only 10,000 inhabitants, after the fall of Valen, almost all the residents of the city were evacuated, leaving only a garrison.

Later, the Third War Regiment took over White Rock Castle and simply strengthened the city's defenses.

Of course, 10,000 troops temporarily stationed in a small city do not need to be thought about, but now the defenders, including the Thunder Beast Warriors, are only in their early 1,000s, and in Leon's opinion, the city defense is very problematic.

Any caution on the battlefield is necessary, and one of the most important reasons for the successful sneak attack of the barbarian Linsk port by the Thunder Beast Brigade is the negligence of the barbarians.

Of course, it was impossible for Leon to follow the mistakes of the barbarians, and under his orders, the Thunderbeast warriors poured water from wells with wooden barrels on the city walls, forming layers of solid ice to strengthen the solidity of the walls.

The heavy crossbows stored in the warehouse were deployed on the city walls in large numbers, and the walls of White Rock City were only a dozen feet high, and it was still necessary to improve the defense capacity when it was impossible to increase the height.

Leon even had all twenty catapults in stock assembled and deployed behind the city walls.

In less than a day, the small town of White Rock was transformed into a semi-fortress-like fortress, adding sharp minions. Those who don't understand think that it is facing a threat from the enemy.

For Leon's rejuvenation, the baggage team and quartermaster of the Third War Regiment who were originally stationed in the city were very dissatisfied.

Because both heavy crossbows and catapults were the reserve for the Third Wargroup to attack Valen, and once the front line needed it, they had to transport it over.

Now that Leon has taken it out and used it all, it will undoubtedly be very troublesome to remove it when transporting.

However, Leon has a warrant from Count Octavia and is the supreme commander of White Rock City, and everyone can only obey his orders.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the Thunder Beast Brigade stationed in White Rock City, Leon received an order from the Third War Regiment.

After a few days of tentative attacks, the Third War Regiment and the two warbands of the Northern Garrison Army have surrounded the city of Valen, and the real siege battle is about to begin.

Count Octavia ordered Leon to protect the safety of Whitestone City and prepare for battle, and in the event of a siege that could be unfavorable, it may be necessary to requisition the Thunderbeast Brigade to participate in the battle.

When he received the order, Leon was patrolling the city walls, and after reading the order, he stared to the north and vaguely sniffed the bloody smell from the front line.

Day 5, Day 6... Leon constantly receives messages from the front.

The battle of Valen City was very fierce, the third war regiment lost nearly a thousand soldiers, and the baggage team sent more than a hundred seriously wounded and disabled soldiers, who lost their limbs and lost their combat ability in the battle, so they had to retreat to the rear to recuperate.

However, the barbarian army in Valen City is almost unable to support it, they are cut off from supplies and trapped in the lonely city, relying entirely on the courage to hold on, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.

But the side of the Third War Group cannot be said to be victorious, and the barbarians cannot sit back and watch their hard-won stronghold gain and loss, so there will inevitably be some action, and the real test is still to come.

Late at night, the darkest time before dawn.

Leon suddenly woke up from his slumber, his eyes flashed between the opening and closing, and he rolled over and sat up from the bed.

Rose, who was sleeping next to him, was alarmed, she opened her hazy sleepy eyes, and asked with some surprise, "Ray, what's wrong?"

Leon shook his head, his expression a little solemn.

There was a strange feeling in his heart, as if some danger was coming at him, and this intuition from the spirit was difficult to describe in words.

After returning from the Arctic Ice Field, Leon found that his mental strength had been greatly improved, which was manifested in his perception of the outside world becoming more acute, and he was able to easily perceive the movements in a large area around him in the quiet of the night.

This may have the most direct relationship with his mastery of the Frost Giant, because only with the help of powerful spiritual power can he control the war puppets that the barbarians are proud of.

It was the warning signs in his heart that woke Leon from his sleep.

"I feel a little wrong, you put on your armor, let's go to the city wall together!" Leon said in a deep voice.

Rose nodded, quickly changing into her armor.

As a second-level samurai, her talent in combat is undoubted, and the grinding of battle on the ice field has made this leopard girl grow up quickly, she is not a delicate woman who will only hide behind Leon for protection.

Changing into the Black Dragon Python Armor and holding the Lei Yan Battle Knife in his hand, Lei Ang quickly left the City Lord's Mansion with Rose and a dozen guards around him.

At night, when the Ranger Scouts have withdrawn, White Rock City will be closed and there will be a curfew, and no one but patrols will be allowed to linger on the streets of the city, even though the city is now largely devoid of residents.

On the city walls, there are soldiers on duty, and although it is the most sleepy time, not a single soldier neglects his duties.

These warriors on duty are all veterans of the Thunder Beast, loyal and tenacious, and experienced in combat, and are the most reliable force under Leon.

However, at this time, the White Rock City was immersed in night, and there was nothing unusual about it being quiet and serene, only the howling wind swept over the city walls, blowing the battle flags and hunting.

But the uneasiness in Leon's heart grew stronger, and he led the people around the city wall, and finally stopped at the eastern part of the city wall.

On this moonless and starless night, there was still scattered light snow in the sky, and the outside of the city was pitch black, and there was a deep darkness where nothing could be seen, like a dormant beast, ready to pounce and hurt people at any time.

Here, Leon's feeling is most intense, and in the darkness in the distance, there seems to be great danger.

Could it be that an enemy is coming from the east?

Twenty or thirty miles to the east of White Rock Castle is the sea, and it is entirely possible for the enemy to sneak up on White Rock Castle by sea, although there is no harbor on the coast there, but the enemy can use small boats for landing operations.

Now that the battle for Valen City is entering a critical moment, the barbarians are facing many problems in supporting from the ice fields, such as bad weather, hundreds of miles of long distances, and the possibility of being ambushed and intercepted by the Beamon army.

However, the sea route is different, although the wind and waves at sea are unpredictable, but on the sea, the Beamon beast clan does not have the slightest control, and the barbarians can borrow the Terran warship to directly transport troops south to attack the rear of the third war group, so as to play a surprise effect.

Historically, barbarians and terrans have used their superiority at sea to frequently harass the coastal strip of Beamon, and they are no strangers to landing tactics.

If it is as Leon guessed, then White Rock City is undoubtedly an excellent target, there are a large number of supplies hoarded here, once it falls, it will inevitably shake the morale of the Third War Regiment, and the landing barbarian army will take the opportunity to attack from behind, which will definitely have a huge impact on the offensive and defensive battles of Valen City.

On top of that, the capture of White Rock City can also bring the barbarian port of Shelinsk to shame.

Thoughts crossed Leon's mind, and he had put himself on the side of the barbarians.

The result was the source of his inner instinct of danger, perhaps since the day he settled in White Rock City, Leon had subconsciously sensed the existence of danger, but it only erupted tonight.

"Pass my order and immediately enter the state of combat readiness!" Leon shouted in a deep voice: "Add torches and braziers to all the walls to prevent the enemy from sneaking up!"

Whoosh!

As soon as Leon's words fell, more than a dozen sharp arrows suddenly shot from outside the city, and several of them were shooting at his vital point!

The sneak attack from the darkness was extremely sudden, but Leon, who was vigilant, was not panicked, and waved his arm to block the moment the sharp arrow approached.

Syllable!

Two feathered arrows were shot out.

"Humph!"

Several of the guards next to him were caught off guard by arrows, and one of the feathered arrows pierced the neck of one of the guards, killing him instantly.

Holy! Leon's eyes turned red.

These guards were veterans who had followed him from death to life, loyal and courageous, but now they were killed and wounded in the enemy's sneak attack.

"Enemy attack!"

The thunder beast warriors guarding the city walls roared angrily, and the sound of the warning horn sounded immediately.

Smack!

Dozens of rope hooks were thrown onto the city wall, and more feather arrows were shot at the city wall, and the enemy outside the city realized that a sneak attack had become impossible, and the surname Suo attacked with a knife and a gun!

However, the prepared thunder beast warrior hid behind the battlements, and the furious Leon relied on the body protection soul armor to carry the feather arrows that were fired, and the war knife swung out like lightning, cutting off several rope hooks on the city wall in unison.

Although the texture of these hooks is extremely tough, ordinary swords can't cut through them, how can they withstand Leon's thunderous blow!
