Chapter 104: A Conspiracy to Attack the West
"On behalf of my wounded brothers, I thank you for your help, Miss Lady of the Venerable Divine Servant of Tar. ”
Tenan put his hand to his chest and nodded to Frey. After the siren sounded, the entire castle and camp were now brightly lit, and a large number of torches were lit, mixed with a magical aura rose brilliantly, illuminating the wasteland and ruins outside the camp. The sound of people shouting and neighing horses sounded everywhere, and a large number of soldiers were already ready for battle. This Kharkiv citadel is currently the closest and largest general logistics base to the front line, storing tens of thousands of bales of food and a large number of other supplies, with thousands of defenders and tens of thousands of servants, militia, and the defense is quite tight, by no means comparable to the original small military station.
"This is what I should do, my Excellency. When His Excellency Edelman and I were still fighting in the Ninth Legion a few months ago, we had heard of the prestige of the Fourth Death Brigade fighting against Chaos, and now we are fortunate enough to be subordinates of His Highness Hyde, and it is a natural duty for our comrades to assist each other. ”
Frey modestly returned the salute to Tenan, her gentle and slender voice as proper as her courtesy. This black-haired girl has been in the army for more than three years, and has been a knight attendant of the royal court for many years, and she is very particular about etiquette, which is very different from the grinning Catherine. Hyde was pleased with this, and Catherine squinted her eyes with a look that she didn't know whether it was jealousy or trouble.
"Catherine, stay with Frey, don't run around. I went with Lord Loren and Lord Tenan to look at the city walls to guard against a possible second wave of enemy attacks. This sneak attack just now is too strange, I don't know what kind of conspiracy Chaos will have. ”
Hyde raised his sword and gave a solemn order to Catherine. It's wartime now, and the officer in charge of the soldiers must have the majesty of a soldier. Old Loren repeatedly emphasized to him on this issue, there is no need to be domineering in peacetime, but in wartime you must have authority, and a mess of scattered troops and officers without executive power are worthless.
"Well...... Okay, I'll stay, my god's lord, my brother, and I'll obey your orders!"
After hearing Hyde's order, Catherine first planned to raise an objection, but after thinking about it for a while, she still followed Hyde's opinion, and naturally did not forget to use a bit of troublesome words. She puffed up her chest, shook her plump breasts vigorously, and then gave an incorrect military salute, and ran quickly towards Frey, who was studying beside the wounded soldier.
After settling Catherine's arrangement, Hyde and Loren Sr. discussed it and decided to go to the city wall with Tenan and most of the sinners to observe the enemy's situation, leaving dozens of people in the camp to prepare for other possible enemy attacks, after all, the Chaos army has a flying Harpy, Chaos Horned Eagle, and other Chaos Flying Beasts, and there are possible surnames for surprise attacks from the air. So the little battle in the camp came to an end, and the warriors ran towards the third wall. There were already a lot of torches, and the Kislev soldiers in charge of the guards could be seen.
"Your Highness Hyde, this surprise attack of Chaos is very strange, they released some mutated modified Chaos Dogs to attack several outer city walls, and also used several similarly modified harpies to attack the main castle from a high altitude, but they failed to cause us any damage, more than a dozen sentinels were lost on the outer city walls, a small number of people were killed and wounded in the outermost camps, some soldiers' tents were burned, and nothing else could be done. ”
About two hours later, Captain Sayalski was ordered by Miss Grisha to inform Hyde of the attack. The Chaos forces that launched the attack consisted of only one or two hundred Chaos Alteration Dogs and an unknown number of Kugan scouts, and they divided into several routes, very stealthily bypassing the outlying outposts and night patrol cavalry, and then inexplicably launched a useless suicide attack.
In fact, the Chaos Dogs who attacked this section of the wall of the Sin Soldier Camp were quite capable of killing several Kislev Night Patrol Sentinels, successfully climbing the outermost rammed earth wall more than six meters high, and then attacking the Sin Soldier camp stuck to the base of the wall. In the other attack points, most of the Chaos Dogs had just climbed to the base of the wall and were spotted by the soldiers with higher alert surnames, so they fell to the ground under the attack of bows and arrows and swords and spears, and few were able to attack the outer wall. As for the harpies who attacked the main castle, they were even more worthless, they could not escape the large magical defense array of the main castle, they were quickly discovered, and then they were shot into hedgehogs by magic and random arrows.
"I'm also wondering if this is a prelude to an attack by the enemy's army, but it's not like it, this kind of clumsy sneak attack doesn't do the army any good, Lord Loren, what do you think?"
Hyde felt that there was something wrong with all this, and he asked Loren Sr. to answer his doubts, hoping that his grandfather, who had been in the military for a long time, would answer his doubts.
"Eighteen years of fighting the plague bringers of Nurgle, their Chaos Dogs and self-detonating Chaos Eggs are terrifying, and an army could easily be completely ineffective without the involvement of Priest Sharya and the Blazing Mage. But Slaanesh's Chaos Dogs are much less powerful, and this time the Chaos Dogs don't seem to be combat-type. But one way or another, the Kharkov Citadel is the most important general supply base at the front, and we just need to hold our own front. ”
Old Loren answered Hyde's question in an accentuated tone, especially the last sentence. Not long ago, the old knight was officially appointed by the Grand Baggage Officer as Hyde's first lieutenant, the deputy captain of the 4th Death Brigade, and was responsible for managing the specific affairs of this reinforced force, which was naturally quite a responsibility. At the end of the day, Hyde doesn't have a lot of experience, and a battle-hardened assistant is a must.
"Your Excellency, I understand what you mean, I understand the meaning of military orders. ”
Hyde saluted Loren Sr., who understood that Loren Sr. meant to tell him not to attack on his own. Not long after the alarm was raised, the Grand Commander and General Ushakov jointly issued an order to carry out full combat readiness, close all city gates, and prohibit any troops from taking the initiative to attack. Old Loren was afraid that he would disobey military orders on the spur of the moment. However, this is actually superfluous, and the tragedy caused by the last over-pursuit at the military station is vivid in Hyde's own mind, and he remembers the painful lesson. Naturally, I won't make a second mistake.
In fact, there is no comparable surname between the Kharkiv Citadel and the 19th military station at that time. It is surrounded by a large number of outlying rangers and outposts, ready to give warnings. In addition to the triple city walls, the main castle also has a high-level magic array defense left over from ancient times. There are savannas in a radius of nearly a hundred miles around him, and there are no large forests to hide, and the possibility of the enemy suddenly throwing a large army here is quite small. But in any case, it is better to put safety first, because the meaning of Kharkiv is too important to afford any mistakes.

"The failed Chaos Dog has already been released, and I think your idea will surprise the stupid furry bear and the unbelievers of the South, who have not slept well all night, and this is a suitable waste use. By the way, how many of the scouts have returned, and are there any losses?"
In a grove six or seven leagues from the castle, a warrior of the Chosen of Slaanesh in purple armor was questioning the man in black with a high-crowned helmet in front of him. Beside them were several mutated purple chaos trolls and a dozen women dressed in revealing black leather suits, all of them wielding dark scimitars with eerie curves and curved blades, and headbands with curved horns and spikes, black leather belts and silver metal chains that strewn deep marks on their fair or wheat-colored skin.
"My elite warriors have nothing to lose, and the elites of the Cult of Pleasure never sacrifice in vain, but two of your Kugans have been hit by stray bullets, and I have destroyed their corpses to keep the unbelievers suspicious. The Kharkov castle is really well guarded, and it is impossible for us to storm it, but it is also interesting to scout them with the waste of the failed experiment. ”
The slender man in black sneered and answered the question of the Slaanesh Chosen One, a young female voice with grace and coldness, giving people an eerie feeling. The dim moonlight shone through the branches on her tall body, and her unusual appearance and special identity could be seen.
