Chapter 19: The Eve of the Great War

Lyle tried his best to look into the distance, of course, he couldn't see anything now, he just wanted to determine whether it was the Gnoll's troops who had arrived at the first time, and then hurriedly got down, rode the fast horse that Sir Thor had given him, and passed the news to the garrison, and that's it~

Lyle quietly looked at the corner of the trail down the mountain, as long as the jackal showed his head, half of his task was completed, and the rest was to hurry~

Time passed minute by minute, because of nervousness, Lyle had a layer of sweat on his forehead, wiped the sweat on his head with the back of his hand, and licked some dry lips, "These damn brutes!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared around the corner of the trail, and Lyle quickly took a deep breath, staring at it without blinking.

Finally, when the gnolls appeared in front of him, Lyle suppressed the tension in his heart, he lowered his body a little, poked his head and looked at the gnolls carefully, he needed to observe the number of these gnolls, and then send the news back.

When the last gnolls came out of the corner, Lyle waited for a while, and when he saw that no gnolls had come out, he began to visually see how many gnolls there were.

"Tsk, there are about three hundred and fifty gnolls, less than expected, that's good news!

Lyle Mali gathered his things, ran to the place where his horses were to be placed at the back of the hill, and rode quickly towards the town of your.

"I hope the garrison can get rid of these damn long-mouthed beasts~ But this is something Jim and they have to think about, my mission has been completed~" The thought in Lyle's heart, who was on the horse, flashed away.

Forty minutes later, Lyle, who had no regard for horsepower, rushed to Sir Saul's door.

"I want to see Sir Saul, I have important business. The guards at the door, of course, knew their companions, and probably knew what task he was on, and when they heard him, they hurried him to Sir Thor's office.

"My lord, Lyle is back, and he said he brought back important news. The squire knocked lightly and reported to Ser Thor.

"Come on his way!" soon came the voice of Sir Thor from inside the door.

The squire motioned to Lyle and took his leave.

Lyle straightened his clothes, pushed the door open and walked inside.

"Lord Thor, the gnolls have arrived, their number is about three hundred and fifty, and it is expected that they will be in the town of your in another hour. Lyle knew that time was short, so he spoke quickly about what he had found before Sir Thor could ask.

Sir Thor didn't waste any time, and directly ordered, "You go to the barracks now and inform Jim, tell them to go out immediately, all preparations are made, and wait for the gnolls to come." ”

"Yes!" Lyle hurriedly exited the room and hurried towards the garrison barracks.

"Three hundred and fifty gnolls? An hour or so to arrive? Okay, I see, thank you for your hard work," Jim repeated Lyle's words, thanking him for his hard work.

Lyle didn't say much after completing the task and went straight back to his home.

Jim picked up the whistle hanging on the wall and ran to the playground, blowing three short, quick whistles.

When all the guards heard the whistle, they quickly grabbed their bows and arrows and waist knives, and lined up on the playground.

Seeing that the human rights were all in place, Jim did not hesitate and directly began the pre-war mobilization.

"Boys, just got the word that the gnolls are here, well, we're only about an hour away, so we're on our way. ”

Jim looked around at the guards and continued, "Do you remember the plan you were assigned before?"

"Joe, you're leading the men to stop the gnolls who crossed the bridge!"

"Giggs, Alan, you guys follow me, we need to hide behind the gnolls!"

"Medical team, prepare medicine and hot water, there may be a young man injured!" "Cooking class, today's meal is more sumptuous, our evening celebration banquet depends on you!"

"Let those damn gnolls go to hell!

The guards then burst into louder voices, "Kill, kill, kill!"

"Alright, now! Let's go!"

With a wave of his arm, Jim walked over to Giggs, and Alan rushed over at this time.

"Are you ready, Giggs, Alan?" asked Jim casually.

Giggs, who was organizing the team and preparing to leave, glanced back at Jim, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, I've made so many preparations, if I can't defeat the Gnolls, then I might as well wipe my neck." ”

The guards hurried towards the Qingshui Bridge, and the Giggs walked across the swaying Qingshui Bridge to the hiding place that had been arranged before, and began a long wait.

Joe led the team to inspect some of the traps, rearrange some of the damaged ones, and hide them.

Several people who were ready to dig the load of the Qingshui Bridge had also gone into the water, and they needed to soak in the river water in this late autumn, knowing that the Jackals' troops were on the bridge, they needed to dig the bridge, let the Jackals' troops fall into the water, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape ashore.

When everyone was hidden, the Clear Water Bridge was quiet again, the calm wind, the calm water, the silent grove, everything, like the prelude to a storm!

As the minutes passed, Giggs was a little anxious hiding in the pre-dug hole, and this time the battle plan could be said to have been proposed and formulated by him, traveling to another world, and once again facing the crisis of life and death.

Giggs licked his somewhat dry lips, moistened them, and then turned his head to look around, and saw that Allen's hands kept scratching on the dirt, and he knew that his forehead was nervous.

The last gnoll invasion took the life of Alan's father, so Eren resolutely joined the garrison in order to avenge his father, and his heart was extremely mixed at this time.

Giggs picked up a small stone and threw it at the dirt in front of Alan, who instantly echoed and looked in the direction of Giggs.

Giggs waved his fist at him, making a "come on" accent with his lips, and Alan smiled at Giggs before continuing to wait patiently for the Jackals to arrive.

Giggs, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly felt a sound coming from the land, and quickly opened his eyes, and found that the gnolls had arrived.

At this time, the first few of the gnolls were ready to go to the bridge, and Giggs quietly held the short knife in his right hand, waiting for the signal from Sir Thor on the other side.

The surroundings of Qingshui Bridge became quieter and quieter, and a solemn atmosphere permeated!
