Chapter 249: Unexpected Encounters [4K]

"The deadline is approaching, it seems that our Royal Highness the prince is also ruthless, I don't know how many people have been lost this time.

It's good that we didn't gnaw on that hard bone, otherwise with the way he looked at the ragtag army, our Ninth Legion would definitely be used as cannon fodder. Ryan complained as she warmed Aisha's hands.

Aisha's eyelids sank slightly, and she sighed and said: "In war, where are the immortals, my father mentioned to me once before, during the second Kuwait battle, the kingdom buried hundreds of thousands of people in this land.

You are indeed very lucky to receive such an easy task, after a few months, dozens of battles, less than one-fifth of the losses, and the morale of the soldiers is also very stable. ”

Ryan showed a rare touch of tenderness on his face, looked at Aisha by the stove and said, "Thanks to you, if it weren't for your day and night rescue of the wounded, our casualties would definitely be half as high as now." ”

"I don't know how to arrange troops, and I don't know how to lead a leader to fight. I can only help you share some of this in this regard.

In addition, this credit is not mine, the potions and nurses you brought are the ones who contribute the most, after all, I can't save a few people in a day. ”

Aisha shook her head, she didn't think she had done much, she just did what she could, just like the soldiers who fought bravely, it was what she should do.

Ryan smiled slightly, took Aisha into his arms, and said softly, "It's my honor to have you as my wife in this life. ”

Ryan is grateful for what Aisha has done for him, and a proud daughter of heaven who grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth, not only did she travel long distances to this bitter cold land.

Every day, his hands are frozen like ice mounds, and he shuttles among the seriously injured all day long, regardless of dirt and blood, rescuing the wounded, and it is common for him to be tired and prostrate.

How could this be otherwise, Ryan would be grateful? Although the two had no emotional foundation before, ask yourself, how many of them have been able to do this?

At least Ryan, who had seen a lot of fast-food love in his previous life, asked himself if he couldn't do it.

Beauty is gracious, and all he can do is keep it in mind.

Aisha quietly rested her head on Ryan's chest, and the two had been together for more than half a year, and they had long since lost the shyness and distance they had at the beginning.

Although I haven't taken that step yet, I'm no different from a real couple.

"And when are you going to leave for the Silver Wolf Fortress?" Aisha said softly.

"Now most of the time we go are not eating meat but gnawing bones, wait a few days, just drink soup, this time we have gained enough, we can't be too greedy."

Ryan saw it very thoroughly, what the third prince needed most was his military exploits, and he would definitely take the lion's share of the credit for laying down the Silver Wolf Fortress.

A few attacking main armies can still get a little meat foam, and it would be good for him to be able to share some soup if he inserted it halfway, since this is the case, what are you doing so actively, you can drag it out.

After chatting for a while, the two hugged each other and fell asleep, cough cough, the very serious kind.

Early the next morning, Ryan walked out with his longbow, and although the temperature in the Kuwaiti snow fields was extremely low, there were still many animals living on the land.

With Ryan's eyes, he soon found a red-eyed ferret hiding in an earthen pit on the city wall.

This is a second-level demonic beast that has dug a pit in the ground and ambushed it, quietly waiting for its prey, which is a way for them to keep warm, as they often have to wait for hours or even days.

Its snow-white fur has completely blended into the snow, and ordinary people will not even notice its existence even if they pass in front of its eyes.

Only the perverted vision that Ryan possessed could discern the subtle chromatic aberration and discover where it was hiding.

Ryan bent his bow and arrow, and an iron arrow instantly turned into a streamer, piercing the red-eyed ferret's right eye into its brain, killing it with a single blow.

Soon a discerning officer ran down to fetch Ryan's prey.

When the blood-stained snow was peeled open and the carcass of the lamb-sized red-eyed ferret was found, the officer's eyes widened in shock.

Ryan's arrow just now is obvious to everyone, as fast as lightning, as fast as a meteor, if you want to say that an arrow shot the head of an unlucky guy hundreds of meters away, everyone will never have any doubts.

However, this is where Ryan's archery skills are great, the arrows the thickness of his little fingers are impartially hit in the eye, but the arrows do not pierce his skull.

The fur of this red-eyed ferret is very well preserved, and there is not a trace of damage.

That's what shocked the officer, and Ryan's subtle mastery really blew his mind.

Picking up the ferret, the officer said with admiration on his face: "Your archery skills are truly breathtaking." ”

The people around him also echoed the admiration, and Ryan nodded calmly, but he felt a little bored in his heart, after all, he was not a soldier brought out by himself.

If it was a soldier from the expedition period or the Kanna Leader, they would definitely say the title of [Eagle Eye Knight] loudly at this time, and then blow it out about Ryan's past achievements, so that Lord Ryan pretended to be fierce.

But most of the people here were from the West, and they had basically never heard of Ryan's name before, let alone mentioned these.

Alas, pretending to be forced makes people feel boring.

Ryan fetches the ferret, then finds a place to sit down and begins to deal with it.

The ferret meat was sour and had a bad taste, so Ryan had no intention of staying, and peeled off the fur after dividing it by two.

After drying the fur with a fighting spirit and carefully tanning it, he cut the middle piece and made it into the shape of a regular water bag, with no gaps in the seams, except for a small opening in one section.

If there is someone who is from the same world as him, it only takes one glance to see that what Ryan is doing is a hot water bottle.

It was a gift for Aisha, whose hands were too cold and the stove didn't work very well, so he decided to make a skin hot water bottle.

I hadn't thought about it before, but last night a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly opened my mind.

Soon, a delicate hot water bottle was completed, and Ryan also deliberately made a cloth bag that could be intervened by sticking the two furs together, so that Aisha's hands could be kept warm in all directions.

Ordered the soldiers to pick up some boiling water, poured it through the water inlet, the airtightness is very good, and it is also very warm, and Lord Lane's craftsmanship is very good.

And due to the peculiarities of the fur of the Akame ferret, the temperature of the hot water is still high even in the past few hours.

It's easy to drop the temperature, you only need to heat it with Dou Qi or magic, which Aisha can do herself.

When she was done, Ryan returned to her room with the special gift, and Aisha was up and reading a book by the fire.

There has been no fighting in the last few days, and she has rare time to read a book.

"What are you looking at?" Ryan hid the hot water bottle behind him and came to Aisha's side.

Aisha stared at the book intently, and said without looking back: "History of the Kingdom of Andes." ”

"Why do you suddenly look at this book, don't you usually like to read books about plants and magic?" Aisha usually doesn't read history books.

"Don't you often say that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, I naturally want to have a good understanding of what kind of country Andes is." Aisha said flatly.

"If there's anything to know about Andes' history, I'll show you." Ryan reached out and closed the book, pulling her cold hand.

Aisha glanced at Ryan helplessly, and only he dared to close it for himself while he was reading, and Chels didn't dare to do that at home.

"Look." Ryan took out the hot water bottle that was hidden behind him.

"What is this?" Sure enough, Aisha's eyes were quickly attracted by the snow-white hot water bottle, and Ryan's hands-on ability was still good, after all, something too ugly could not be sent.

"Hand warmer, put it on." Ryan put Aisha's small hands into it from both sides, and the warm feeling suddenly made Aisha's eyes glow with surprise.

"It's so warm, and it's beautiful, where did you find it?" Aisha didn't want to put it down as soon as she put it on, after all, her hands were really cold.

"You can't find this kind of good thing anywhere else, I made it now, do you like it?"

"You did it yourself?" Aisha covered her red lips in surprise, she really didn't expect Ryan to do this for her by herself, he was also the Viscount of the Kingdom.

For a while, a burst of sweetness surged in Aisha's heart, the hand warmer bag is not a valuable thing, and it is not very difficult, what makes Aisha happy is that Ryan attaches importance to her.

"Of course, I don't know how to embroider, otherwise I will embroider a few roses on it." Ryan sat down beside her.

"That's already good." Aisha was a little bit of a lion.

"By the way, someone sent a military report just now, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince is urging you to hurry up and march." After the two chatted for a few words, Aisha suddenly said.

Ryan picked it up and looked at it, the whole article was full of words about rapid march, and it seemed that His Royal Highness the Third Prince was indeed a little anxious.

"Alas, I originally wanted to delay it for a few more days, but our Royal Highness the Prince can't wait, it seems that the idle days are coming to an end." It's okay to delay the time, but now that the rush is so urgent, Ryan can't continue.

Otherwise, with the temperament of the third prince, I don't know what kind of cold bench the next time it will be assigned to Ryan.

"Someone, send someone to gather all the troops back, there is a new task."

"Yes!"

The chief of the guard, Walling, immediately answered the voice outside, and immediately sent a fast horse to gather the troops outside.

During this time, the troops did not go far, so it only took one day for the Ninth Army to be fully established, and after leaving a part of the garrison troops, they began to march to the area designated by the third prince.

According to the third prince, the mission of the Lane Division was to stop the fleeing troops of the Silver Wolf Fortress there, and wait for the large army to come and annihilate them.

It's just that Ryan was put on a question by the third prince after all, and the military newspaper urged him like a rush, but he waited for three days after arriving at the designated location, and he didn't even see a single human hair.

He sent a messenger to the battlefield of the Silver Wolf Fortress to learn about it, and only after learning that Grandma Di, the Silver Wolf Fortress was indeed stormed, but it was only the city wall that was taken, and it was not fully controlled at all.

Now the remnants of the defenders of the Silver Wolf Fortress are still fighting with them, and there is no tendency to abandon the city and flee.

The expeditionary force did not know the situation inside the Silver Wolf Fortress, so they frequently lost in street battles, and the losses were not small, and they only controlled half of the fortress until now.

However, the military order cannot be violated, and the third prince asked him to block it here, anyway, he is not short of those three melons and two dates now.

After waiting for another two days, it was too late for them to stop the target, but it was not the remnants of the Silver Wolf Fortress that had fled, but the Andes army that had come to support!

Ryan also knew at this time why the defenders of the Silver Wolf Fortress insisted on street fighting after the city wall was broken, and it turned out that reinforcements had quietly touched it.

Although the other side has less than 10,000 people, it is only a matter of time before such a new force joins at this time, and it is only a matter of time before defeat turns into victory.

The other party's whereabouts are well hidden, if it weren't for Ryan's coincidence to block here, the third prince's side would definitely suffer a big defeat.

It can only be said that he was lucky.

When the two armies met, there was nothing to say, naturally there was saber rattling, and swords and soldiers faced each other.

The enemy has about eight or nine thousand men, the army is in order, the armament is complete, there is an air of slaughter, and there is a proper regular army.

Although there are now 10,000 people under Lane's command, 3,000 of them are low-trained servant troops, and there is not much combat effectiveness at all.

However, Ryan didn't panic, after all, he still had a battalion of money brought by the Kana Collar.

The first battalion is fully equipped with cuirasses, a small part of which is plate armor, and the proportion of [rune war knives] in the weapons is close to half, once the hand-to-hand combat, they will tear apart the enemy's military formation like a hot knife cutting butter.

The future is undecided, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer, and it will only be known if it is beaten.

In contrast, Ryan is not in a hurry, after all, as long as the third prince takes the Silver Wolf Fortress, he will come back, and he only needs to defend.

The other party is different, if they don't arrive before the Silver Wolf Fortress is completely lost, not only will the fortress defenders have to finish playing at that time, but they themselves will not be able to protect themselves.

So, after a short break, Andes took the lead in attacking.

He used five battalions of troops in the first wave, three battalions charging frontally, and one battalion on the left and right to attack.

Ryan commanded the army to form a tight formation, placing the main force of the four battalions in the front and rear, the servant army cooperating with the two battalions to defend the flanks, and the first battalion in the center, which was a killer weapon left by Ryan.

As Alan commanded the crossbowmen to shoot the first wave of arrows, this unexpected encounter suddenly began.

Andes's army was well-trained and advanced layer by layer, even if the rain of arrows caused them considerable casualties, they still did not mess up and bravely stepped forward.

Soon, the soldiers on the front defense began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and there were not so many bells and whistles, just slashing.

The two flanks soon began to clash head-on, and the servant army still couldn't get on the table, and if it weren't for the veterans of two battalions, the first wave would have collapsed.

The sound of fighting on the battlefield was continuous, and the snow-white earth was also stained red with blood.

Ryan was preoccupied, he was looking for a chance, a one-shot chance to win......
