Chapter 55: Battle!
After dinner, Alan was discussing with Svein in the lord's mansion what might happen to the Foxstone Territory invasion, when he suddenly sensed that the Gale Eagle had returned to the Huaxia Territory.
Allen's heart moved, could it be that Foxstone led the troops?
Sure enough, Gale Eagle brought the news of Foxstone's troops, and at the same time transmitted the scene he had seen in Foxstone Territory to Allen's mind through telepathy.
Judging from the images from the Gale Hawk, Foxstone led at least five hundred troops this time, and the high-end combat power is unknown.
On the Huaxia Territory, the light infantry has not yet been trained, and the only ones with combat effectiveness are fifty frost archers, twenty-two Demacian heavy infantry, and more than forty Guardian soldiers.
It is mentioned here that the more than ten first-class guards who originally followed Allen from the royal capital to Huaxia Collar were also incorporated into the Guardian Army, so the Guardian Army now has more than forty people.
At full cost, the fighting strength of the Huaxia Territory is only more than a hundred people, not even a quarter of the Fox Stone Territory.
However, in terms of high-end combat power, Allen thinks that Huaxia Ling should have some advantages, four sixth-level heroes and an eighth-order gale eagle, Allen doesn't believe that Fox Stone Leader can also show this strength.
So in this battle, Allen thinks that Huaxia Ling is not without a chance of winning. What's more, there is a trap waiting for Fox Toll outside the territory.
Of course, if Allen knew that there were four eighth-order warriors, twenty fifth-order guards, and more than two hundred third-order soldiers in the team led by Foxstone, I am afraid he would not be so optimistic.
"My lord, is it Foxstone that has sent troops?"
Svein asked when he saw Allen's face change.
Alan nodded: "Judging from the speed of the other party's march, it should arrive at our territory in the early hours of tomorrow morning." ”
Hearing this, Svein smiled, "Your Excellency can send someone to inform the soldiers in the barracks to rest immediately, and also let the Gale Eagle keep an eye on the enemy's movements at any time. ”
"Let the soldiers rest first, and then we will go to the Yellow Silk Grass in the middle of the night to ambush and wait for work. ”
Alan nodded, and said to the guards beside him: "Inform all the high-level officials in the territory to come to the lord's mansion for a meeting." ”
The guards took the order and left, and after a while, the high-ranking people in the territory gathered in the lord's mansion.
"Young master, did Foxstone lead those grandsons out into the army?" Alex shouted at the top of his voice as he entered the door.
Alan nodded: "Let's sit down first." ”
After everyone sat down, Alan said, "Just now news came from the Gale Eagle that the Fox Stone Territory has sent troops and will probably arrive at our territory in the early hours of the morning. Everyone get ready for the big battle to come. ”
"Alex. ”
"Young master, what are your orders? Alex asked, getting up.
"You go to the barracks now, tell all the soldiers to get some rest, get dressed immediately after midnight, and assemble outside the territory on time. ”
"Got it, young master!" Alex ordered, "Do you want to inform the soldiers of the light infantry battalion?"
Alan thought for a while, the two hundred soldiers of the light infantry battalion have not yet been trained, and now they are just ordinary people, even if they go to the battlefield, it is not very useful.
"You don't need to let them go to war, tell them to stay in the territory. Alan said.
"There are also more than 70 mercenary soldiers, tell them that the war is coming, those who are willing to stay in the territory to help, stay, and those who are not willing to stay can leave after receiving this month's commission. ”
Alex nodded in understanding and took the order.
The mercenary warriors originally came for money, and made it clear from the beginning that they would not participate in territorial wars, and Alan didn't want to kill these innocent people when the war started, so he asked Alex to notify them in advance to leave.
After a few more words of explanation to the others, Alan told everyone to disband and go back to rest, and assemble outside the territory at midnight.
The crowd dispersed, but Alan sat alone in the hall of the Lord's Palace, unable to sleep.
This was the first war he had experienced since he crossed into this world. Whether Huaxia Ling soars into the sky or completely sinks depends on this battle.
Alan was just an ordinary person on the earth before, and although he had experienced more than half a year of experience in this world, he still inevitably felt a little nervous when he thought of the upcoming war.
Alan sat like this until midnight.
"My lord, it's time for us to go. ”
Outside the door, Svein's eerie voice suddenly came to mind.
Alan opened the door, and Svein, Yasuo, and Lux were standing outside.
Lexy had already gone to the ambush outside the territory a few days ago to prepare.
"Hee-hee, lord, are you nervous?"
Lux grinned when she saw Eren come out.
"Don't be afraid, with Lux here, I'll definitely help you fight off those bad guys!"
Lux's joking words eased the tension in Alan's heart a lot.
"Let's go, let the Fox Stone Collar know that our Huaxia Collar is powerful!"
Alan and the others came outside the territory, and the soldiers had already assembled in the clearing.
The soldiers consisted of three squares, including twenty-two Demacian heavy infantry, fifty frost archers, and forty-seven defenders.
To Allen's surprise, there were also seven mercenary fighters standing beside him.
Seeing Allen and the others coming, the eyes of all the soldiers turned to Allen.
Alan waved to the soldiers, then walked over to the seven mercenary soldiers.
"Why did you choose to stay?"
Alan asked straight to the point.
Compared with the strength of the enemy and me, Alan has already made it clear to the village chief of Jill and these mercenaries that if he chooses to stay in Huaxia Territory, it can be said that his life will be in danger at any time.
These mercenaries have nothing to do with Huaxia Ling, Alan originally thought that all the mercenaries would choose to leave, but now he was very surprised to see these seven people choose to stay.
"We are different from the fighters who left," replied one of the young fighters standing at the front, "all seven of us are orphans and have been together since childhood. ”
"In the past few days in Huaxia Ling, we are very happy and like the atmosphere here. Even though we only patrol the streets every day, we have come to love the territory through contact with the residents. ”
"They are kind, optimistic, and happy. This is also the life we have always dreamed of, so we choose to stay. ”
"If Huaxia Ling can win this battle, we hope to stay in Huaxia Ling and become a member of Huaxia Ling. ”
The young man looked at Alan sincerely and said, and the six companions behind him were also full of hope.
Alan nodded: "If the Huaxia Leader still exists after this battle, you are a member of the Huaxia Leader's Guardian Army." ”
"Thank you, thank you, Lord Lord!"
Seven people said excitedly.
"But you don't have to participate in tonight's operation, stay in the territory and protect the inhabitants of the territory. ”
Allen to the Seven.
Alan didn't want these seven people to participate in tonight's operation, although they were very sincere, Allen still had to guard against it, because today's action was too important, and Allen didn't want to have a half-point difference.
I think I'm a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" Alan said to himself.
The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I wish the lord a smooth move!"
"Thank you. Alan nodded, and turned to walk towards the soldiers in the territory.
Alan glanced at the hundred or so soldiers in front of him.
"Let's go!"
Without any superfluous words, Huaxia Ling's troops silently embarked on the journey.
It didn't take long for the yellow silk grass to appear in front of everyone's eyes.
Alan pushed aside a piece of weeds at the outermost level, and under the weeds, a dark hole appeared in front of Alan's eyes.
Alan pushed aside a few more weeds, each of which contained a hole in the ground where several people could hide.
These caves are naturally the masterpieces of the Void Retreat Beast Lexie. Digging holes in the ground, but Lexier's old business.
"Young master, when were these holes dug, why don't I know?"
Alex looked at the caves and asked curiously.
Alan chuckled: "Where are there so many problems, quickly arrange for the soldiers to hide and tell them that once they find a fire outside, they will rush out." ”
Alex took the order and began to arrange for his soldiers to hide in the cave.
Alan originally wanted to divide the soldiers into four parts and hide them on all sides, but considering the limited number of soldiers in the territory, he decided not to risk dividing the troops.
After all the soldiers hid in the burrow, Alan looked at Lux and Yasuo and said, "Next, it's up to you to see your acting skills." ”
Yasuo's face was expressionless, and he bowed slightly.
Lux grinned: "Lord Lord, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!"
Alan nodded, and Svein hid in the burrow.
In an instant, there was no one on the meadow except for Lux and Yasuo, and there was silence all around.
"Facial paralyzed swordsman, you have to play it well, don't drag Miss Ben back. Lux walked towards Yasuo.
Yasuo snorted coldly and strode towards the avenue.
In the wee hours of the morning, just after dawn, Foxstone's army appeared on the avenue.
"Lord Lord, Young Master Eric, there is the Huaxia Leader not far ahead. ”
Some time ago, Glaom, who was lucky enough to pick up a life by feigning his death in Huaxia Ling, pointed to the road ahead.
Just then, one of the scouts who was exploring the path ahead rode his horse back.
"Report to the lord, the situation has been discovered earlier!"
