Chapter 74: The war has just begun
The crowd of black pressure will never look less than a thousand!
Risa Dilan didn't even dare to ask for the carriage, so he picked up the dead man's face and ran, fighting and fleeing along the way, and suffered many injuries.
And the army of bandits has been chasing him unrelentingly.
It was difficult to get rid of the chase with a person, but Risadillan couldn't leave this dead face, and this situation obviously meant that this dead face was an important role, so he gritted his teeth to support the injuries all over his body, and relied on his excellent body skills to keep shuttling through the woods to barely escape.
Then, he rushed back to Mai Xiangling with people as fast as he could.
Trubrun is very close to Mai Xiangling, only a hundred miles, and Risa Dilan has only rushed back for a short time, since the enemy has been chasing after him, it should be there soon!
Risadillan did not miss any details, he was a smart man, and knew that the more detailed the information at this time, the better it would be for Leon's judgment.
Leon wasn't too flustered at this point, and according to Risa Dilan, these people should be related to the bandits seen by the archers of White Hart Fort.
As long as it's not non-human!
There is a beacon warning, and reinforcements should come to White Deer Fort soon, as long as it can be delayed for a few days, the horn summons the rangers or other reinforcements will also come.
Leon didn't blame Risadilan for attracting the enemy - the task of bringing back the dead face was given by Leon, and Risadilan did his best not to leave the dead face and run away.
Of course, the main reason why Risa Dilan worked so hard was because it had been more than two months since he last took the 'Hundred Days Soul Breaking Pill' - he had to bring that dead face back to 'continue his life'.
Sighing, Leon threw a horse manure egg that had been prepared to the Noldor Elf: "Go and rest, I'm ......"
But before he finished speaking, Risa Dilan's movement of raising his head and swallowing the medicine suddenly stopped, his eyes looked straight at the sky, and the pills seemed to be stuck in his throat.
"Ahem! …… My lord! See...... Over there at White Deer Fort! ”
Li Ang looked up to the east, and in the sky above White Deer Fort, a huge black wolf smoke had also begun to sweep up......
White Deer Fort was also attacked at the same time!
Now it's in trouble.
Seeing the flames of White Deer Fort, Li Ang realized that the real war might have just begun......
Based on what Risadiran had experienced, it was obvious that the Bacchus Empire had done this, but it was not known who the collaborator was.
More than a month ago, in the course of the war, the enemy was already plotting against Mai Xiangling.
But its ultimate goal should be to blockade and seize the western city of White Hart Fort.
It's just that when the enemy planned to take advantage of Mai Xiang's whole army to seize the empty village more than a month ago, he probably didn't expect that there would be soldiers from White Deer Fort stationed there, and after discovering the enemy's traces, Amy just sent a large number of people over to eat and drink.
Judging by the camp that Rissadiran encountered, the enemy may have been understaffed at that time, so they did not act, but changed their plans.
Their new plan should be to seize the time to recruit manpower, and then cooperate with the main force of the Bacchus Empire to capture White Deer Fort in the days immediately after the war, when most of the kingdom lords are returning to their respective territories.
This happened to be an empty time period, better than the chances of the war going on - all the lords were on their way back to their realms, and it was difficult for Fort White Hart and Mai Xiangling to ask for help.
At the same time, this is also the time when the overall vigilance of the kingdom is at its lowest, and as soon as the war ends, everyone will have a misconception - after both sides withdraw their troops, the lords will all be disbanded.
The lords of the Lion Kingdom were indeed disbanded, but the Bacchus Empire had a different military system, and they turned to attack White Deer Fort at this time, which would catch the Lion Kingdom by surprise.
In order to prevent Godric, an experienced veteran, from returning with his troops, they also led Godric to the Raven Village.
- They must have succeeded, Godric did not even attend the knighthood, and his wife's illness must have been caused by these people.
Then, the current situation is that Bailu Fort and Mai Xiangling are attacked by the army at the same time, and it is likely that they will not be able to find reinforcements for a while and a half.
"My lord! A large number of bandits were found by the river ten miles to the west, as if they were resting by the river. No flags! There should be thousands! ”
In return, it was Summer, who was still out of breath.
Leon waved his hand to return to the team. As a scout, Summerer is indeed stronger than most people in this era, at least he can bring back the enemy's location and approximate number - but the value is still limited, and it is basically unclear what kind of troops the enemy has, what powerful troops there are, and what special places there are.
"My lord, I'll go to Ralph's camp right away for help!"
Sarah reacted quickly, and after understanding the situation, she immediately flew on her horse and headed north.
None of the other lords nor their troops were known to be now, and Ralph's Rangers were probably the only reinforcements they could find with the ability to move quickly.
Sarah is already taking the initiative to think and solve problems, which is her job as a foreign officer, and it is also the self-motivation that comes from profit sharing.
The positive effects of Leon's business practices are gradually being felt.
……
The horn had sounded several times, and everyone was gearing up.
With swords unsheathed, armor in place, and the sound of heavy footsteps in a mess, this beautiful village is gradually filled with an aura of slaughter.
All the combatants were in place, and the recruits were all dressed and waiting for orders.
Their equipment was actually good, all of them were dressed in well-groomed chainmail robes, wearing light helmets, and all kinds of weapons were also the standard weapons of the regular army - Leon had customized two hundred sets before, and spent all the 100,000 dinars he had defrauded from the first issuance of shares.
Although they are not as proficient as Anson, they look like a neat army, at least on the surface.
There were more than a hundred people, most of them recruits.
The recruits were inevitably a little panicked, but they seemed very determined, and even the people who had not been selected for the army had already taken up arms, and not one of them had fled.
Of course, they have a reason not to run away - this is the real role of Maixiang Group shares!
The lord worked hard to make money before, and all the shares were allocated, which was effective at this time.
Leslie took half of the previous profits of Maixiang International, and then distributed dividends according to the number of shares held by everyone.
Just yesterday, the golden dinar had been distributed to each of the lords—each of whom had a share, and the soldiers had at least two shares.
Even if you only hold one share, this dividend is higher than the income of the people in the previous years!
This is only the first year-end dividend.
From this year onwards, it will be distributed once a month at the end of each month, and there will be a contribution reward at the end of the year - the 'entertainment clubs' and 'offices' established by those businessmen who have paid a large amount of deposits in various places are still providing a steady stream of income for Maixiang International.
With such benefits, who wants to give up the status of a lord?
There will be no problem with the morale and loyalty of the army, but the problem now is that the gap in strength is too large.
The crossbowmen went to recruit mercenaries and did not return.
There are only a hundred people in hand.
The Great Swordsman of Metenheim, 10/10;
Pande's heavy archer, 30/30, this is the group of recruits who were brought to the battlefield of the Sava before, although they have not fought, but they have been following the knowledge for a few months. In addition, it is well-equipped, so it has also been upgraded to a heavy archer.
Pande's militia, 62/62;
They are systematically called militias by their equipment - they are all equipped with elite armed infantry, and they are all armed with swords and light crossbows. Originally, I was going to use a compound bow, but I didn't have time to train, so I had to use a crossbow first.
There are more than 100 people, most of them are recruits, how can they fight against an army of thousands of people?
