The sky has become a territory where black turbid currents gather.
Although it is noon now, the sky is as dark as when the sun sets. Only through the gaps in the black clouds can you see the brilliance of the noon sun. It is like a coin that has gone through several eras, although it is still glowing.
It is shiny, but it has lost its brand-new side and looks dim and dim.
The flow of the black clouds is a bit fast, and in the eyes of the people rushing below, they are like black rivers flowing rapidly, constantly converging and dispersing, as if there is no end.
Corresponding to the environment in the sky is the mountain wind blowing through the forest tops at high speed. The wind is very strong, bringing up fallen leaves and sand, causing a lot of trouble to people walking on the ground. It is like all the unknown things in the world are gathered here.
, pouring on people.
Geer turned back from his horse, and could vaguely feel the rich scent of blood in the wind blowing past his nose. He didn't know whether it came from Fenos in front of him or from the bloodthirsty men chasing behind him.
"Tonight?" Ger muttered.
"Yes, sir, if their speed can continue to be at this level, they will probably catch up with us when the Nora star lights up." Fenos replied respectfully. His upper right arm was wrapped in a thick white bandage.
A bright red color emerged from underneath. It was obvious that this outstanding hunter had been seriously injured, and it had happened recently.
Nora Star is a star that rises immediately after the sun sets, heralding the coming of night. It has always been regarded as the guardian of the moon goddess Ingrid. According to Fenos, the refugee team will arrive before dark.
Overtaken by pursuers.
Since it was discovered three days ago that pursuers were arriving and following the team, the refugee team has repeatedly adjusted its direction these days, specifically heading towards complicated and difficult places. However, the pursuers bite the refugees like a tarsus.
Even if the team is sometimes thrown away by the suspicious formations of hunters who are proficient in the jungle environment, they will soon find the right direction and quickly follow up again. It is obvious that the opponent also has hunters with extremely sensitive sense of smell.
After all, there are many women and children in the refugee team. It is impossible to move fast, and many traces will be left behind.
In the past three days, the distance between the two sides has been continuously decreasing. Tonight, the two opponents who have been facing each other from a distance will finally meet face to face - although this is not what the refugee team wants to see.
"I understand. You asked the scouts to shrink back towards the team. There is no need to continue fighting with them now. Let's leave everything at night."
"Yes, sir."
"Go down and have a good rest. The combat mission tonight will not be light."
Watching Fenos bow and leave, Geer was thoughtful.
These days were not only a race between the refugee team and the pursuers, but also a contest between the elite hunters led by Fenos and the scout troops pursuing the pursuers.
As a result, Fenos' hunter force lost five people, and the pursuing scouts were killed and wounded at least a dozen. It seemed that Geer had the advantage, but overall, due to the asymmetry in combat power between the two sides, it was Geer who
The losses on the side are even greater, so Geer does not want to continue to consume the strength of his own hunters before the decisive battle. After all, on the frontal battlefield, the superb archery skills they have developed through years of hunting prey are a very important force in Geer's hands.
important force.
The identity of the pursuers has become clear. They are the Templar Knights of the Slakna Church, led by Bynes, the deputy leader of the Knights. They are the main force entrenched in Gal's next stage target, Eli Brock.
Elite is not elite, Gel has no way to judge. It is said that this is the most powerful force of the Church of Slaba. It is not comparable to the small team that had been wiped out by Geel before.
The excellent quality of the chasing troops scout — Fernos, who directly handed over the scout with the chasing troops, said that these scouts were very short and very flexible, especially suitable for jungle operations.
The hunter headed by the two sides is difficult to say, and Finos's injury was obtained when fighting with a scout boss.
All in all, this is an enemy that cannot be ignored.
When it comes to the Templar Knights, Gel thinks of the enemy in the Melzy area invading the Hazti.
Based on the information summary obtained from the prisoner of the captive these days, the components of the invasion of enemies can be determined. It is mainly composed of the troops of the church and the blue leader of the Slaba.
So as to form this invasive troops.
The church and the blue -colored owners of Slaba are from the Wayne Islands from the southern waters of the Gande Empire. Although it is just the islands, the land area there is enough to be as big as two or three Hestender.
At the beginning of the collapse, there was no more regime that can be unified, and it has been split into many small countries to conquer each other. At most, the number of small countries that exist at most at the same time has reached hundreds of situations.
It can be said to be unusual.
Although these small nations are nominally the Affiliated Kingdom of the Gand Empire, in fact, the Gante Empire does not have a good control method for it.
The church and the blue lord of Slaba are the representative forces of the native. As a genre in the original worship, the Church of Slaca has been abandoned by history after a period of time on the mainland for a period of time because of its inhuman bloody scores.
It was passed on to the Wayne Islands, and was welcomed by the natives there. It took root and germinated there, and finally became an important force that can dominate the situation of the Wayne Islands.
The Lord Zhanlan is actually a pirate in the native. Since the thirty years of war, the sea transportation industry of the Gand Empire has greatly prosperous, which has led to the rise of pirates because of the fierce confrontation with the Federal Federal Federation of the Kideli Fei.
The empire uses the way to support some pirates to improve its own sea power, and Lord Zhanlan is a pirate that is specially sealed by the Gand Empire.
The enemy's components have figured it out, so there is a certain understanding of the form of Melzy now. According to the analysis of Lucarine, this time the intervention of the situation in Hestein, the Gand Empire did not take it directly, or in other words, or in other words, or
It was because some scruples were unwilling to take the shot directly, so the third -party power intervention was leveraged. Although I do n’t know how the high -level high -level Gand Empires let these wild monkeys on the island run for hundreds of years to fight, but
Obviously, the Gande Empire is unwilling to consume its own power for the chaos of Haz Ting. After all, the confrontation with the Federal Federal Federation of the Kidlu Fei is intensifying, and he has no time to take care of him at all.
However, this is also a good news. After all, no matter how powerful these robbers from the island nation, they are better than the regular army of the Gande Empire. As long as it is not officially intervened, there is still a chance for the situation here.
Of course, this is something to consider only after getting rid of this group of pursuers.
At this time, someone brought food. Geer dismounted and took the food brought by the servant. It was a pot of stewed tender rabbit meat, exuding an alluring aroma. There were also two pieces of bread smeared with hot meat fat.
, and even a small jug of ale.
The food for the other soldiers, including the militiamen, was not bad. This was the best food the team could muster. Not far away, the refugees who only had black bread and wild fruits to eat were drooling at the sight, but they were not dissatisfied at all, because they
I understand what this is for. I can only silently wish these brave people to defeat the brutal invaders.
"Up the hills."
After eating a rare delicious meal, Geer walked around the team and immediately issued the latest order.
The refugee team moved forward and soon saw a relatively gentle highland with even a stream on it. Of course, this was the basic knowledge about station selection in the non-commissioned officer course.
This is the location chosen by Geer for the final battle.
The soldiers pushed carts filled with wooden piles to the high ground. Each of these wooden piles was about a little more than one meter high, and there were about twenty of them. One end was sharpened. These were all things Geer realized.
When they could no longer escape the pursuers, the soldiers were allowed to prepare during the rest period.
When they reached the high ground, the soldiers used various tools to dig a hole, then inserted the tip of the wooden stake into it, used a hammer to drive the wooden stake down firmly, and then removed the wooden planks from the cart and tied them to the wooden stake.
On top, a simple low wall was formed to serve as a defensive circle for the team.
The hunters are at the front, occupying a commanding position, and they will be an important force that delivers the first blow to the enemy.
The militiamen at the back were armed with various simple long weapons and were waiting in line under the leadership of veteran Sened. They looked like a regular battle formation. Just one look at the generally gray hair of these soldiers made me unconvinced by their combat effectiveness.
.
Finally, there is the cavalry led by Geer himself, which will be the final force that determines victory or defeat.
This is also the reason why Geer did not consider using any kind of surprise attack or ambush to attack the pursuers.
In the final analysis, strategy is to suppress and eliminate the opponent's strengths through total tactics, improve one's own advantages, and then decide in one battle.
From the secret battles between the two sides these days, it can be seen that the commander of the other side is an experienced and relatively cautious person. Every step is very sure, leaving no chance for Geer. Although the other side is not familiar with Hai Si Ting's
The terrain is mountainous and forested, but they obviously have their own skills in mountainous forest warfare, so if they want to use any adventurous strategy, it is likely to be counterproductive. It is better to fight in an upright manner, and this very flat and open place is what Geer chose to be able to
A terrain that maximizes the combat effectiveness of your cavalry.
The refugees who were unable to participate in the battle were placed in a low recess behind the high ground, and the remaining cart supplies were used to surround them, which could effectively reduce the damage caused to them by the flow of arrows, and if the battle ahead failed, they could also directly
Scattered away from the jungle behind. Of course, it was hard to say how many people would be able to get out of the hills at that time. This was also the last resort.
"Lucalin, are you ready?" Geer rode alone to his companions at the rear of the team, dismounted and looked directly at his adjutant.
"Well, no problem." The silver-haired girl nodded, her face full of solemnity.
If the battle fails, then Lucarine will take Silvia and the church to break away from the large troops, cross the mountains, go directly to Emlock, with the roadmap drawn by Fonos and good skills.
They are likely to be able to succeed safely from the place covered by war, and the enemy is not very likely to chase the deepest part of the Mira Mountains for such a small stock.
"Remember, see the agreed signal or defeat, you will go immediately, don't have any hesitation." Gel told me.
"I know ... you ... be careful ... if ..." Lucarin looked at Ge, and stopped talking, and there was a touch of concerns in his eyes.
"I won't lose!" Geel smiled, and then greeted people who fought side by side with those behind him, turned around, and returned to the front line without returning.
"Rest assured, he is born with a strong man, and the victory will always be accompanied by him." One hand was put on Lucarine's shoulder, and the warmth on it made her a little warm body along the skin.
Iona.
"Well, he has always been!"
Nympho
Woo ~
The horn of the enemy's arrival sounds.
Gelzema came to the front, staring at the enemy that gathered from the jungle under the jungle underground.
No one speaks, silent.
Turn around, he pulled out his sword and drank.
"Ready to fight!"
All the cavalry turned over and horses, the hunters opened the bow and set up an arrow, while the militia clenched their weapons, and a metal sound was brushed together.
