Chapter 235: A Smooth Return (I)

Knock!

The Tiger Knight, who was sitting in the innermost part of the chamber, reached out and tapped heavily on the dark wooden table, and the chamber, which had become a little shaken by the intruder, suddenly fell silent.

The reckless staff officer immediately realized his mistake, and he stopped at the side of the aisle, holding the parchment roll in embarrassment, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

The Tiger Knight snorted coldly: "Such a big person, and he is still so reckless, what is it that makes you so panicked, could it be that the barbarians have hit the Ice Peak City?"

Several aristocratic officers sitting next to him all smiled, although their commander was extremely authoritative, he was still quite tolerant of the younger generation, and he was more harsh, and he had to teach this guy a hard lesson.

This Tiger Knight is none other than Duke Sigson Tiger, the Grand Commander of the Far North Province, the Supreme Commander of the Northern Garrison, and a sixth-level Dragon Soul Warrior!

Under the leadership of the nearly seventy-year-old duke, who had ruled the northern part of the kingdom for decades, the northern garrison repelled numerous invasions by the barbarians of the far north, and pushed the northwestern part of the kingdom nearly 100 miles north, recapturing the Taimur Snow Mountain, which had been occupied by the barbarians for hundreds of years.

Of course, in Beamon's view, the entire Arctic Ice Sheet should be the territory of the kingdom, and the complete elimination of the barbarians is a strategy that will never change.

"Lord Duke—" The young staff officer wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward and respectfully presented the parchment in his hand to Duke Sigson: "This is the news that has just been delivered from the port of Linsk. ”

The war between Beamon and the barbarians lasted for hundreds of years, and in order to obtain information about the enemy, the kingdom never cut off the spying on the barbarians, and sent many secret assassins back and forth.

These spy assassins are basically a mixture of human and orcs, or even human race, and the kingdom has strictly cultivated them since childhood, and then sent them to the human country when they become adults, and finally infiltrated the barbarian port city as mercenaries or adventurers.

Many of the agents were found dead in obscurity, but many managed to lurk, and the information they sent back to the kingdom helped the northern garrison win many victories and avoid many sacrifices.

Duke Siguson took the parchment roll and looked at it carefully, and a look of surprise appeared on his resolute face.

This surprised all the officers present, knowing that there was very little thing that could move the iron-blooded duke with the title of "Tiger of the North".

After a while, Duke Sigeson put the parchment roll on the table, looked around with tiger eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The port of Linsk has sent back conclusive news, two days ago, the port of Linsk was attacked by an army, and the entire port area was almost completely burned, and there is no food and other materials hoarded in the port!"

"Now we can be sure that the battle report of the Third War Regiment of the Southwest Provincial Garrison is true!"

"It's true!"

There was an uproar in the conference hall, and the news was indeed very shocking.

In fact, the Northern Garrison had received a battle report from the Count Octavia of the Third Regiment the day before, but everyone here, like the staff officers of the Third Regiment, was unlikely to react at first.

Many people asked Duke Sigerson to give the Third War Regiment a severe reprimand, and actually sent such a ridiculous battle report, really the Northern Garrison is an idiot?

But Duke Sigson just put the battle report aside, and said lightly: "If something happens to the port of Linsk, we will soon be able to get the letter, and then it will be clear whether this war report is false or not." ”

Now that the Northern Garrison has received information from the secret agents, it has proved that the battle report of the Third War Regiment is true, how can this not make a group of northern officers dumbfounded.

"According to the battle report of the Third War Regiment, combined with the secret report of the Linsk Port, the Thunder Beast Brigade of the Third War Group first bypassed Valen City and went deep into the Arctic Ice Sheet along the coastline..."The Duke said slowly: "They sneaked up on the barbarian transport transit point Hailanji, where they eliminated two transport teams, and used the captured barbarian equipment to disguise themselves as barbarians' baggage teams, so as to deceive the barbarian patrol into entering the port of Linsk and successfully attacked. ”

"But one thing is very interesting, judging from the description of the secret report, the Thunderbeast Brigade has a silver-level Frost Giant, and it is precisely because of this war puppet that their sneak attack operation is extremely smooth. A thoughtful look appeared on his face: "After the Thunderbeast Brigade retreated, the Linsk Fortress sent one Blue Frost Giant and two Silver Frost Giants, as well as thousands of cavalry in pursuit. ”

"You also know the result, right? The Thunder Beast Brigade destroyed two Silver Frost Giants and wiped out nearly a thousand barbarian pursuers, including a hundred Ice Wolf Riders, causing the Blue Frost Giants to flee!"

"So..."The Duke knocked on the table again, which was also his habitual action to express his feelings: "The battle report of the Third War Regiment does not have the slightest moisture, and the incredible results achieved by the Thunder Beast Brigade are real!"

The Duke's words slammed into the hearts of the officers like a punch, making them feel like they were really an idiot.

"But, how could the Thunderbeast Brigade control the Frost Giants, could it be that they captured a giant barbarian while capturing the Frost Giants?" An officer swallowed his cigarette and muttered, "And let this giant barbarian mutiny against his own countrymen?"

This is completely impossible! The Northern Garrison has been fighting with the barbarians for hundreds of years, and naturally has a deep understanding of the barbarians' war puppets, the Frost Giants.

In previous battles, Beamon has not captured intact frost men and captured giant barbarians, but it is an impossible task to let the giant barbarians rebel against their own race, their loyalty to the barbarians is unshakable, and their strong spiritual power is exempt from all spiritual spells, even if they are tortured to death, they will never give in.

"This is also what I am puzzled and surprised about..."Duke Sigerson nodded and said, "But since the results of the Third Wargroup have been confirmed, I will report the results to the Kingdom side, although they are from the south, they are still worthy of our respect." ”

For a long time, the northern army of the Kingdom of Beamon generally had a contempt for the southern army, because the southern army lost more and more in the war against the elves, and lost a large area of territory on the south bank of the Nucang River.

Although this has a lot to do with the national policy of the Beamon Kingdom, the northern army does not look down on the garrisons of several southern provinces, so at the beginning, they will be absolutely skeptical of the battle report of the third war group.

"The port of Linsk has been destroyed, there will definitely be a problem with the supply of the barbarians' eastern front, and the time is ripe to recover Valen City!" Duke Sigson stood up and gave an order in an unshakable tone: "I order the first and second war regiments of the Snow Tiger Legion to immediately move closer to Valen City, cooperate with the third war group in the southwest to recapture Valen City, and the rest of the legions strictly defend their respective defensive lines!"

"Our own shame must be washed away by ourselves!"

"Yes!" all the staff officers replied in a loud voice.

The fall of Valen was a humiliation for the northern garrison, but due to the limitations of its forces, it was not strategically appropriate to retake Valen.

Now that the expeditionary force is moving north, and the situation of the war has changed, the recapture of Valen City has naturally become the primary goal of the northern garrison.

With Duke Sigson's order, the northern garrison, the Far North Tiger, finally showed its fangs.

One order after another was passed to the Third War Regiment, and the two northern war groups approached Valen City from the Western Front, and cooperated with the Third War Regiment to form an encirclement of Valen City.

A battle is about to break out, and at this time, the Thunderbeast Brigade is still looking for a way home on the vast ice field.

Unbeknownst to Leon at this time, the names of him and the Thunder Beast Warrior had caused a sensation in Ice Peak City, and had quickly spread to Saint Yao Ugru, causing a lot of turmoil.

He led more than 800 Thunder Beast warriors to almost lose their way in the sudden blizzard, and the sudden cold caused many warriors to suffer severe frostbite.

The five shamans on the team did their best to heal, and each warrior carried healing talismans that ensured that they would not be attrition due to the cold in the event that the shaman's power was depleted.

Luckily, the blizzard didn't last long, and helped the Thunderbeast Brigade cover up the trail trail left on the snowfield.

This is very important, the barbarians who have suffered a big loss are searching for traces of the Thunder Beast Brigade in the ice field, and this storm has brought them great luck while bringing a lot of trouble to the Thunder Beast Brigade.

On the fifth day of their escape from the port of Linsk, the Thunderbeast Brigade once again saw the long coastline at the edge of the ice field.

"My lord, our current location is halfway between Hailanji and Valen City, and we will be able to reach the vicinity of Valen City by the afternoon at most!" said the guide in the group.

After a journey of hundreds of miles from the port of Linsk and night on the ice field, I finally see the hope of returning home.

The most rare thing is that the Thunder Beast Brigade has never encountered the barbarian army along the way, although the vast ice fields and bad weather are the main reasons, but Leon's clever judgment is undoubtedly the key.

As Leon had predicted, there were no interceptors in the area from Hailanji to Valen, which was not an anomaly, indicating that the Barbarians believed that the Thunderbeast Brigade would flee from the middle of Valen City and the Black Iron Fortress back to the Far North Province, thus mobilizing their forces to that area.
