Section 355 is wrong

Beleur strolls along the riverbank.

A small boat is in the river, measuring the depth of the water with a plumb weight. Since the Chaos Legion wasn't particularly fast in pursuit, Bayrell was sure he had a little time. According to the order of Ashrufat, he had to know something about the situation of the river. Of course, he could have given this task to others, but Bayral preferred to do it himself.

It is the widest river in the vicinity. If the Chaos Legion wants to find a place where the water is gentle to cross the river, then this is a good choice. Without a bridge, this is the best location to cross the river.

"Your Excellency, you seem to be a little uneasy. "Robin and Bayer had been together long enough to notice that Baylor was a little different. Now Robin's injury has healed preliminarily, and although his arm can't be used hard, he doesn't have to wear bandages all day like before.

"Well, a little scared. Bayral was frank in admitting.

"What happened?"

"I'm sorry I can't sue you, for your own good. Bayral smiled slightly. "You don't want to die here in aggrieved terms, do you?" Suddenly, he remembered Rhodia, and thought that she must be more than lucky, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Am I dying here?"

"Yes, it will be. Bayral came to a very decisive conclusion, which made Robin even more confused.

While speaking, the surveyors on the ship already had the results and began to shout to the people on the shore.

"Sure enough...... The flow of water is relatively gentle...... In the absence of bridges, it is a fairly suitable location for crossing the river. Bayral whispered to himself. "What's the name of this river? Oh, it seems to be called the Bodamir?"

A few minutes later, the boat returned, bringing more detailed news. This area is arguably the most suitable location for crossing the river, and small groups of soldiers should be able to cross the river if they have the support of certain tools.

"General, I'm afraid this area is the end of our defense. Robin voiced himself. "There must be enough troops, and there should be a certain amount of fortifications to cooperate......"

"Your Excellency, General. A voice in his back made Robin turn his head. He saw the man he liked the least—Thaler. During this time, whether he liked it or not, Robin had more contact with the young man named Thaler, so he was a little surprised to find that Thaler could not only read and write, but also like to read all kinds of military books.

Well, it's not an outrageous thing. In this era when movable type printing has been promoted, books and other things have long been no longer treasures. Besides, the Book of War has never been a piece of confidential information that cannot be passed on. There are many military books in the world, and there are even more people who read military books, but how many people can read and become famous generals?

But the fact that Thaler had read the book of war meant one thing - he was able to easily understand Baylor's teachings, and there was no barrier to communication between the two sides. This is not good news for Robin.

"What's the matter, Thaler. Bayral looked at Thaler with interest. On the surface, Thaler was looking very wolfish at this time—his clothes and trousers were covered in black sludge, and his whole body was emitting a foul stench.

"General, I don't think it's necessary to arrange heavy troops here. Thaler said. "There is a swamp on the side. ”

"Swamp?" Beller repeated the word. During heavy rains and floods, water overflows from the riverbed and flows into the nearby low-lying areas, making it easy to form swamps. It is common to have swamps on the banks of rivers.

"Yes, General, I have carefully surveyed the extent of the surrounding swamp. Thaler said. Now, there was a plausible explanation for the sludge and stench on his body - I think he had accidentally stumbled into a swamp. "I found one thing, swamp...... The vicinity has been completely cordoned off. In other words, after the Chaos Legion crossed the river from here, there was no other way to go except to go south along the riverbank. This is a long and narrow terrain, and our army only needs to deploy a small number of troops at the southern end to withstand the massive Chaos Legions. This swamp is quite dangerous...... I had just fallen into the mud, but luckily I escaped by the horse's tail. ”

"Ah, is that so. Very valuable clues. Well done, Teller. Bayrell looked at Thaler's excited face and turned his head to look at Robin. Robin's face was already flushed. Thaler had found valuable information, but Robin had followed Bayrell and found nothing. This shame almost made him want to find a hole in the ground.

"By the way, General, what you told me before...... Did something happen?" Thaler asked.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Ashrufat, our general, makes me feel a little scared. Bayrell said lightly,

"Scared?"

"I don't mean that his talent scares me...... Although he is really good in this regard. I'm scared because...... Well, I felt something from him...... It shouldn't belong to human. He was probably using all his reason to control the primitive beast nature that was roaring wildly in his heart right now. I don't know if the beast in his heart will break through......"

......

“...... That's all I got from my investigation. Bayral said, looking at Ashrufat. Ashrufat's expression was steady, and only by looking at him carefully would he find that there was a dark cloud between his eyebrows like before the rainstorm, and if he wasn't a sensitive person, he wouldn't feel that hideous horror.

"Hmm...... The vanguard of the Chaos Legion is only a day's journey away. Moreover, their magicians actually interfered with our magical communications. Now our army has completely lost its magical connection to Eagle Falcon City. Ashrufat said. "According to the mages, this means that they need at least thirty hybrid wizards to complete. And these Chaos Wizards ...... All the energy will be wasted on this matter, and you will not be able to go to war. ”

"Ha, good news, so they probably only have about one hundred and twenty mages left to go into battle...... Only four times more than our army. Barranca said sarcastically.

"This is the Chaos Legion's greatest possible position to cross the river. Ashrufat continued. "This side of the bridge...... However, tonight, after the last troops of our army crossed the river, the bridge was no longer there. But even without a bridge, the terrain on both sides of the river is gentle, making it a suitable place to cross the river. ”

"Isn't it more suitable to cross the river upstream, so it's wider?" asked Barranca, pointing to the map.

"This area," Beller's finger drew a circle on the map. "It's a swamp. This swamp is dangerous, with a lot of inexplicable quagmires, and the slightest carelessness in it can be devastating. If the Chaos Legion were to force it through, they would have to pay a heavy price. The only area that can be navigated is the riverbank...... Small strips. There's a hillside here, and we only need to set up an artillery position here, with a small number of troops to assist, to hold off the chaotic army. This terrain is typically suitable for outnumbering. ”

"If they force their way through ......"

"We can lightly increase our troops. Bayrell said. "So, even if the Chaos Legion does this, it will easily form a tug-of-war. I hope they do that, and they can beat their momentum hard. ”

"That's it. Ashrufat said. "Our first goal is to delay for a while, to give the rear more time to build fortifications. If the Chaos Legion crosses the river on a farther detour, then it will come and go...... We can get at least four to six days. ”

"Send scouts to monitor the journey upstream and downstream for three days. The Chaos Legion may also use some special method to cross rivers in places where the current is stronger. ”

"By the way, guys, the scout reported something quite interesting to me. "At the time when Ashrufat was about to call the meeting to a conclusion. Bayral spoke suddenly. "Maybe people will be interested to know. ”

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, among this Chaos Legion, there is only Tzeentch's banner. If I'm not mistaken, it's a pure, army of Tzeentch believers. Sadism, Slaanesh, and Nurgle were not involved. In addition to this, according to the reaction of the flag...... The one who commands this army is not an ordinary bastard lord. ”

"Ah...... It's not the Chaos Lord, it's a demon?"

"No, it's a ...... Divine Favor. Humanity under the favor of evil gods. Well, in fact, I don't really understand the difference between the Divine Favor and the Chaos Lord, but the Divine Favor should be above the Chaos Lord among the evil god believers. ”

"This will ...... What are the consequences?"

"I don't know. My message was sued by a veteran soldier. Bayral replied. "Maybe the Divine Favor is more powerful and cunning than the Mixed Lord......? The Chaos Legion has a lot of troops?"

......

"Your Excellency. "A wizard with a magic disk on his feet flew under the banner of the Eagle of Change. "As you might expect, they're setting up along the river, and it looks like they're going to use it for a blockade. ”

"Hehe......" Marven smiled proudly. This is good news, and it could even be said that it is his only chance. If the army he was facing retreated all the way back into the fortified city, things would be very difficult to handle. Even if Marven's army had the upper hand in all aspects, it could not be said that he would be able to easily conquer the fortified stone castles of those southerners. The battle can't drag on, he can't afford it. The current White Fort is very empty, and before the tentacles of other evil gods reach out, he must completely destroy the armed forces of this kingdom, otherwise there will be no way to talk about it. He would rather pay more casualties than a protracted siege that would have taken a lot of time.

"Great. The Divine Favor Wizard of Tzeentch uttered these three words from the bottom of his heart.

"They've torn down the bridge. The subordinate said. "I'm afraid it's not a battle to the death. ”

"I guess it's going to be delayed for a while. Marven replied. This is also the correct answer. "They probably still want to hold the fortified city and fight a battle here, not so much to use the favorable terrain to stop our army, but rather to delay for a while, so that the city in the rear will have enough time to build and improve the city defenses. Especially Gaohua City. ”

Marven was very clear about the situation on the side of Gaohua City - when the Blood Fang Lord oversaw the siege of the city before, the auxiliary fortifications outside the city had almost been destroyed. Therefore, if it can buy a few days, it is possible that Gaohua City will repair these fortifications again (and maybe add some more), greatly strengthening the city's defenses.

"A very cunning military strategy. But......" Marven said softly, his expression smiling, but it was the sinister smile full of hatred. "I'll tell them that stopping and fighting is the biggest mistake they've made!Do you think your little cleverness can help again, Ishrufat?"
