Two days later, when the Knights of the Holy Sword gathered again, the army that had penetrated behind enemy lines regained its vitality.
After two days of recuperation, the soldiers had basically recovered from the long march. They stood in high spirits and looked at the leader at the front with reverence. They firmly believed that as long as he existed, the Knights would be the warrior.
Invincible.
Geer was sitting on horseback, right in front of the team. Slightly behind him was the beautiful and heroic Priestess. Behind him were the knight attendants headed by Duff, and there were also some strangers hanging around.
In the center, there were businessman Amuiro and his bodyguard Bumus, as well as several business travelers who had also been caught in the past few days - some of the merchants made the same choice as Amuiro.
Geer didn't look at these people, nor did he care whether they could adapt to such a long journey. At this moment, he was a gambler. For him, the chips had been thrown on the gambling table. Now he was not hesitant to consider whether he should
Instead of placing a bet, move forward and go forward unswervingly. If Amuelo and others want to gain benefits, they have to pay the corresponding price. This is not something that can be done just by talking.
In the past two days, while resting and recuperating, the Knights also intercepted five caravans passing through Alcanburg, some from Merzai to Gant, and some from Gant. During this period of war, there were
Needless to say, the caravans here basically do business with the cultists from the islands, otherwise they would not be able to pass through the area controlled by the Slakna Army.
These caravan members were detained separately for interrogation. After summarizing all the information obtained, it can be proved that Amu Yiluo did not lie in this regard. Therefore, when there was no other better option, Geer finally decided to raid Merza.
The plan of the main force of Slak outside Yi city.
"Alvale, the next thing is left to you." Geer said to the hunter standing quietly on the side. On that side, fifty soldiers of the Knights stood together with Alvale.
After I lead the main force to set off, I will continue to sit in Alcan Castle and intercept the incoming and outgoing business travelers to avoid prematurely revealing the fall of Alcan Castle.
As long as Alvale continues to stay in Alcanburg for three to five days, any longer may arouse the suspicion of the Gant and Wayne people. By then, Alvale, a hunter who is proficient in wild life, will take these left behind
The soldiers passed through the mountains and trees and headed directly to Rio Pass to join Sylvia's main force.
"Don't worry, Sir, leave the rest to me." Alval patted his breastplate heavily and solemnly made a promise to Geer.
Geer nodded, stretched out his right hand and patted his shoulder with a bang.
"Set off."
Watching his comrades leave Alcan Castle, listening to the clash of steel, the neighing of war horses, and the heart-shaking sound of uniform horse hooves trampling the earth, Alval felt his blood boiling, but at the same time he was also a little disappointed.
.
Alvale was inevitably a little disappointed that he could not participate in this most critical war, but he also understood that his task was also very heavy. As long as he could conceal the news about Fort Arkan for one more day, then Gal and his team would be able to attack by 10% more
Given the odds of success and the subsequent evacuation route, it is most appropriate for him to be responsible for this matter.
After patting his face to make him look more energetic, Alval shouted to the men behind him: "Cheer up..."
…
The dark clouds over the city of Merzai are gradually approaching, and the atmosphere is filled with damp and cold moisture, accompanied by an unbearable cold wind, which seems to be able to penetrate into a person's bones and freeze them from the inside out.
After such a long time, the soldiers of Slakna also had a certain understanding of the climate here. They knew that there would be a winter rain next, which was very difficult for them who were accustomed to the hot climate, so they began to hide in tents and wrap themselves up.
Put on all kinds of warm clothes.
The local residents in Merzai City have long been accustomed to this kind of weather that comes every year, and this year is especially welcome, because when this kind of weather comes, the barbaric cultists outside the city can only hide in
Their tents were shivering. Before the sun came up, it was impossible to launch a new offensive, and even harassment would not be carried out, giving the city's defenders a chance to breathe.
After three months of offensive and defensive battles around the city of Merzai, both the Wayne people outside the city and the Hesting people inside the city were exhausted. The only cavalry regiment composed of Gant people who could maintain a good spirit was
There were not many, and there was no need to attack the city. Since it was impossible to counterattack outside the city of Merzai, this cavalry also went south to the Rio Pass to support the army against Sylvia.
There are now less than 10,000 Wayne people left outside the city, but it is enough to deter the remaining troops in Merzai City. Although the leaders of the Slakna coalition are unwilling to give up, they have to admit that this winter
It was impossible to attack Merzai, and their forces began to move towards the controlled area to first consolidate their dominance in various places.
Of course, if Sylvia's army can be defeated at the Rio Pass, and Sylvia can be captured or even beheaded, then there will be great hope in persuading the already exhausted Merzai City to surrender.
Spend this difficult winter in Zai City.
In fact, the nobles of Merzai City are also looking at the Rio Pass in the distance. If possible, they do not want to surrender to these cruel enemies. But if Sylvia fails and Merzai completely loses foreign aid, in order
Considering their own family's concerns, their will to defend the city may be shaken.
Therefore, the two sides currently confronting each other inside and outside the city of Merzai have turned their attention to Sylvia's conquest army, waiting for the results there.
And just northwest of the Slakna military camp, among the hills a little outside their surveillance circle, a pair of cold eyes were watching them.
"Very good, you did what you said. You will be free when we launch the attack. After the war, you can go directly to Airi Block. I will fulfill my promise." Geer put down the telescope and said to
He said to Amuero beside him, then turned to other businessmen, "The same goes for you."
Geer and his cavalry arrived nearby two days ago under the guidance of the merchants. During this time, he has been hiding in the distance to observe the layout of the Slakna coalition camp and the patrol and monitoring habits.
After summarizing the patrol pattern of the Slakna coalition, Geer led the knights around to the position behind the camp, waiting for the opportunity to attack.
Originally, Geer planned to wait until it snowed to conduct a raid. In this weather, the combat effectiveness of the Wayne people who were accustomed to hot weather would be reduced to a minimum. However, Geer did not wait until it snowed, but waited until it was about to rain. Regarding this,
Geer made a prompt decision to launch an attack as soon as it started to rain. The effects of both weather conditions were similar, and the Knights did not have much time to waste. After all, if they delayed for a day longer, they would be more likely to be discovered.
"Thank you, sir. It's my honor to serve you." Amuelo saluted with his hands on his chest, and the other businessmen immediately followed suit.
Geer said no more to these merchants, asked them to retreat, and walked among the soldiers.
Raising a hand, all the soldiers fell silent and looked at their leader.
"I don't need to say anything else. We traveled over mountains and ridges, suffered from hunger and cold, and then crossed the entire enemy's area to face an enemy that was much stronger than us. You all know why. Now I only have one sentence, win.
Then go home."
Geer scanned the entire audience, his eyes filled with extremely powerful confidence.
The soldiers who were swept by Geer's gaze were all heated up, completely forgetting all their fatigue, as if Geer's gaze contained convincing power. If they hadn't gone through rigorous training and knew that shouting loudly might alert the enemy,
They had already cheered.
The strength of the army comes from cohesion, and cohesion is largely reflected in the trust of soldiers in their generals. Therefore, as a commander, you should show the courage to solve everything. No matter how difficult it is, you may die in the next moment.
, but still must be able to show overwhelming momentum, that is, a qualified or even excellent commander. At this point, Geer can get a full score.
"What a terrible general." A businessman sitting in the corner sighed while watching the pre-war mobilization of the Knights of the Holy Sword.
"Yeah, I haven't seen such an impressive army for a long time. I think those Wayne people are really going to be in trouble this time." Another businessman said.
"Anyway, no matter how unlucky those Wayne people are, it has nothing to do with us. I have to say that they are really lucky this time. Just by making this trip, they can get the food monopoly of Alibrok. They will be prosperous in the future."
"That's right, I originally thought that not only the goods and money were gone, but also my life was not saved, but I didn't expect this to be the result."
"It seems that this young general has a high status with Princess Sylvia. I must pay him a visit when I go to Alibrok."
"Yes, yes, if you have a backer, you won't be afraid of others coming to snatch it away. When the time comes, we will be together."
"Okay, as outsiders, we must help each other. I am Efendimo from Tangnakabu..."
"I am……"
…
Amuiro did not participate in the heated discussion of other businessmen. He squinted his eyes as if he was tired, sat on the ground against a tree and rested quietly, while his bodyguard Booms silently guarded behind him. The two of them.
The rejection and attitude of being thousands of miles away made other businessmen automatically stay away from the two of them.
Time passed little by little, and when the rain fell through the tree cover, Amuero opened his eyes.
Booms next to him said in a low voice: "That woman has left."
"Very good." Amu'ilo stood up, patted the dust off his body, and then looked around. Geer and his soldiers had left the hills and started to attack, while the merchants were happily cleaning up.
They were ready to rush to Elibrock immediately with Geer's autograph letter to receive their reward.
"It's time to start."
The businessmen not far away had already begun to walk out, chatting happily as they walked. Suddenly, a shrill scream from behind them made them tremble and immediately turned around to look.
I saw that the last companion had been pierced through the chest with a short sword, and the perpetrator was the one-armed Booms.
Boom!
A winter thunder exploded at the right moment, illuminating Amuero's face, who was sitting under the shade of the tree, pale and adding a stern look.
"Griezmann, haha, you are so lucky."
Then there were several more thunders, sweeping across the entire world, completely covering up the insignificant screams, as if nothing had happened. (To be continued.)
