Chapter 236: A Smooth Return (Part II)

"We'll have to hurry up and rest when we get back to White Rock City!" Leon looked south, snow-capped in the distance.

For four days and four nights, in order to avoid the enemy's pursuit, the Thunder Beast Brigade was on the road all day and night, with little rest on the way, and even eating was solved on the hunchback.

By this time, both humans and snow camels were already very tired.

But Leon knew very well that he was not out of danger now, this was still the territory of the barbarians, and the barbarian army would appear at any time, so even if the snow camel was tired to death, he could not stop and rest.

And his own situation is not very good, the price paid for using the Soul Devouring Arm is not small, and the blood lost is not something that can be made up for in a short time, although his soul power has recovered fifty or sixty percent, and the real combat power is less than thirty percent of the usual.

No one questioned, no one complained, and all the warriors swallowed the cold and hard jerky in the snow water, hurriedly filled their stomachs and went on the road again.

After a half-day trip, the Thunderbeast Brigade was already very close to Valen City, which was also the last possible obstacle.

"Your Excellency!"

A ranger scout hurried over, and said excitedly: "I found the army of the barbarians in front, as well as the cavalry of our third war regiment, the number is about a thousand, and they are fighting!"

The cavalry of the Third War Regiment! Leon was in high spirits when he heard this.

There is no doubt that Count Octavia received the battle report he passed and deployed according to his ideas.

The barbarian side is likely to be sent by the enemy army in Valen City to patrol and intercept in the east, and the cavalry of the third battle group is definitely here to meet the thunder beast brigade, and the main force is definitely still behind.

"Great!" Leon couldn't help but clench his fists and roared loudly: "Brothers, let's kill it together, let those barbarians take a good look at our strength!"

"Kill!"

Hundreds of Thunder Beast warriors raised their weapons, and although their bodies were very tired, their morale and fighting spirit were not weak at all.

In the battle of Lins Harbor, the Thunderbeast Brigade won a complete victory, and it also allowed those recruits to grow up rapidly, and in some ways they were completely comparable to the veterans.

Under the guidance of the scouts, eight hundred thunder beast warriors rode in formation, galloping across the ice field like a black tide.

After advancing for about two or three miles, an army in the midst of a fierce battle appeared on the ice field in front of them, and Leon saw the fluttering banner of the Third War Regiment at a glance.

The battle between the two sides was fierce, with all cavalry, the third regiment consisting mainly of horses, and the barbarian side consisting entirely of snow camels.

Feathered arrows flew in the sky, tomahawks and heavy swords collided with each other, and the sound of battle spread far and wide, and every minute a second a cavalry fell on the snow, blood staining this originally pure land.

When the main force of the Thunder Beast Brigade appeared, the barbarian side suddenly erupted in a huge cheer.

This is because the Thunder Beast warriors are all in the costume of the barbarian cavalry, and the ones they ride are also snow camels, so they are naturally regarded by these barbarians as reinforcements for their own side.

But they immediately found out that something was wrong.

"Thunderbeast!"

A beast-winged battle flag was raised on the ground, and the thunder beast warriors roared in unison, urging the snow camel under their crotch to increase their speed to the extreme, and approached the barbarian's side.

"It's the Thunderbeast Brigade!"

The cavalry of the Third Regiment erupted in cheers.

As Leon had predicted, this cavalry was sent by the Count Octavia to pick up the Thunderbeasts, and after entering the ice field, they encountered the barbarian cavalry, and a battle broke out.

The number of cavalry of the third war group on both sides is still more and the equipment is more elite, but they are not very adapted to the combat environment of the Far North Ice Field, and the barbarian cavalry is extremely fierce, so they are still slightly at a disadvantage.

When they first saw the Thunder Beast Brigade, they also thought that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and they were all ready to die in battle.

But I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the so-called enemy reinforcements were actually the Thunder Beast Brigade, and the cavalry of the third battle group suddenly boosted their morale, killing the barbarian side and retreating.

Although the barbarian side was brave but not stupid, seeing that the charging thunder beast warriors were about to form a flanking attack on them, they immediately sounded their horns and retreated in the direction of Valen City.

If the barbarians were bent on escaping, the cavalry of the Third War Regiment would not be able to catch up, because their horses were not very suitable for galloping on the snowy ice fields, and the snow camels of the Thunderbeast warriors were exhausted from the long journey, and a single charge was enough to consume the remaining physical strength.

So most of the barbarian cavalry managed to escape, leaving only two or three hundred corpses in the snow.

Leon didn't have the heart to pursue the enemy, although those were visible achievements, in fact, the results obtained by the Thunder Beast Brigade were already very brilliant, and it didn't matter if it was the icing on the cake or not.

He led the warriors to the convergence of the cavalry of the Third Regiment, and the warriors on both sides all let out a shout of victory, and the shouts of excitement soared into the sky.

A lion-born officer knight greeted him, and he excitedly shouted, "Baron Leon, we have finally found you!"

"Thank you!" Leon smiled and asked, "Where is the third wargroup now?"

"We'll be on the way, Count Octavia has ordered us to return as soon as we find you. ”

"Good!" Leon nodded.

The two teams temporarily merged together and headed south.

On the way home, the officer and knight told Leon that the third war group set out from White Rock City to attack Valen City the day before yesterday, and cooperated with the two war groups of the Northern Garrison Army to encircle Valen City, and they were sent to meet the Thunderbeast Brigade.

"So you don't have to worry, except for the enemy who just fled, no more barbarians will come here, the barbarian army has basically shrunk into the city, and they won't last long!" said the knight.

Leon nodded, although it was easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, but now that the port of Linsk was in a mess by him, Valen City had lost its only support, and the city's food stock was limited, it was only a matter of time before it was captured.

The only variable is to see if the barbarian side will fully support Valen, but that will have to keep Valen.

"On the orders of Count Octavia, we escort you directly to White Rock City, without participating in the battle against Valen. The knight finally said, "You are now in White Rock City to rest for a while, and the Count of Octavia will let me tell you..."

"He thanks you for your sacrifice and efforts for the Kingdom and the Third Warband!"

On horseback, the officer gave a knightly salute to Leon respectfully.

Count Octavia and the Third War Regiment had reason to thank Leon, and the Thunder Beast Brigade ran hundreds of miles to destroy the important ports of the barbarians, which played the prestige of the Third War Group and also made the Northern Garrison see the bravery and fearlessness of the Southern Army.

In terms of the overall battle situation, this battle greatly affected the war situation on the Eastern Front, at least there would be problems with the supply of materials on the barbarian side, which disrupted the enemy's deployment and was conducive to the upcoming battle after the arrival of the expeditionary force.

The team went all the way south, and after a day and a night of travel, they finally arrived at White Rock City.

It's finally back!

Seeing the flags fluttering on the city wall in the distance, Leon's whole person relaxed, his nerves were always tense all the way back, and the pressure in his heart was extremely great.

Now I can finally get a good night's sleep!

At this time, there were only a few guards left in Baishi City, and the main force of the Third War Regiment was dispatched, and this small city became a supply base in the rear, hoarding a large amount of food and weapons and materials.

When they arrived at the barracks in the city, the weary warriors immediately lay down in their houses and fell asleep, not even taking off their leather armor.

The most unbearable thing was the five shamans, they gritted their teeth and persevered, they couldn't hold on on to the way to White Rock City, and they collapsed to the ground as soon as they arrived in the city.

But Leon could not go to rest like them, and the knightly officer handed him a warrant issued by the Count of Octavia, giving him official takeover of White Rock and taking charge of the supply of supplies to the Third Warband.

This is not a hard task, because there are three war groups in front, and the White Rock City in the rear is naturally at ease, and he does not need to do it personally to distribute and dispatch materials, and there are special baggage teams and quartermasters in the city.

So this is tantamount to letting Leon and the Thunder Beast Brigade have a good rest in White Rock City, they have won dazzling feats in the front, and now it is the turn of the third battle group to perform.

Otherwise, in the end, let others know that the Thunder Beast Brigade that has made great achievements is only attached to the territory army of the Third War Regiment, and the real main force is inactive, then Count Octavia will be quite faceless.

After handing over the warrant, the knightly officer and his cavalry hurriedly left White Rock City again, and went to Valen City to join the main force, the siege battle was about to begin, and every ounce of combat power was precious.

After he left, Leon became the ruler of White Rock City, officially taking over the small Northland city.

As the Supreme Commander, he moved into the most luxurious building in the city, which was originally owned by the lords and nobles.

Rarely, there were five servants in the house, including two middle-aged maids, who did not evacuate after the fall of Valen, but continued to serve the garrison commander later.

This saved Leon a lot of trouble, at least someone boiled hot water for him to bathe and prepare a delicious dinner, and he didn't have to do it himself.

Leon took Rose to take a mandarin duck bath together, and during this time, Rose followed her in and out of life on the Arctic Ice Field, all the way to the wind, frost, rain and snow, the leopard girl was much haggard.

After taking a shower and enjoying a hearty dinner, Leon went to bed, and although Rose was still by his side, he didn't have the slightest evil thoughts**.

Quietly embracing the lover in his arms, sniffing the familiar fragrance, Leon's heart was happy and peaceful, and sleepiness quietly hit.

The night passed peacefully.
