Chapter 236 Smooth Return Next
"We have to speed up and wait until we get back to Baishi City!" Leon looked at the south, and the distance was covered with snow.
Four days and four nights, in order to avoid the enemy's pursuit, the Thunder Beast Brigade kept on the road all day and night. There was almost no rest on the way, and even the meal was solved on the hunchback.
Here, both people and snow camels are very tired.
But Leon is very clear that he is not out of danger yet. This is still the territory of the barbarians, and the barbarian army will appear at any time, so even if he is tired to death, he can't stay and rest.
And his own situation is not very good. The cost of using the soul-eating arm is not small. The lost blood can't be made up in a short time. Although his soul power has recovered by 50% or 60%, the real combat power is less than the usual 30%.
No one questioned and no one complained. All the soldiers swallowed the cold and hard dried meat with snow water and hurriedly filled their stomachs and went on the road again.
After a half-day trip, the Thunder Beast Brigade is very close to Wallen City, which is also the last possible obstacle.
"Your Excellency!"
A ranger scout hurried over and said excitedly, "The army of the barbarians and the cavalry of our third regiment were found in front of us are about 1,000, and they are fighting!"
Cavalry of the Third Regiment! Leon was refreshed as soon as he heard it.
There is no doubt that the Count of Octavia received his war report and deployed it according to his ideas.
The barbarian side is likely to be patrolled and intercepted in the east by the enemy in Warren City, and the cavalry of the third regiment definitely came to pick up the Thunder Beast Brigade, and the main force must be behind.
"Great!" Leon couldn't help clenching his fist and roaring, "Brothers, let's kill it together and let those barbarians have a good look at our power!"
"Kill!"
Hundreds of thunder beast warriors raised their weapons. Although their bodies were very tired, their morale and fighting spirit were not weak at all.
In the battle against Lins Harbor, the Thunder Beast Brigade won a complete victory, which also allowed those recruits to grow up quickly. In some ways, they were completely comparable to veterans.
Under the guidance of the scouts, eight hundred thunder beast warriors lined up, like a black tide galloping over the ice field.
After almost two or three miles, an army in fierce battle appeared on the ice field in front of him. Leon saw the flag flying in the Third Regiment at a glance.
The battle between the two sides is very fierce. All of them are cavalry. The third regiment is dominated by horses, while the barbarian side is full of snow camels.
Feather arrows flew in the sky, the tomahawk and the epee collided with each other, and the sound of fighting spread far into all directions. Every minute and second, the cavalry fell on the snow, and the blood stained the originally pure land.
When the main force of the Thunder Beast Brigade appeared, the barbarian side suddenly burst into loud cheers.
This is because the thunder beast warriors are all dressed in the costumes of barbarian cavalry, and the horses they ride are also snow camels. Naturally, these barbarians regard them as their own reinforcements.
But they immediately found something wrong.
"Thunder Beast!"
A beast wing battle flag was raised, and the thunder beast warriors roared in unison, urging the ** snow camel to increase its speed to the extreme and approach the barbarian side.
"It's the Thunder Beast Brigade!"
Instead, the cavalry of the Third Regiment burst into cheers.
As Leon expected, this cavalry was the Earl of Octavia to receive the Thunder Beast Brigade. After entering the ice field, they encountered barbarian cavalry, and the two sides broke out fighting.
The number of the two sides is still more cavalry of the Third Battle Regiment, and the equipment is more elite, but they are not very suitable for the combat environment of the Far North Icefield. In addition, the barbarian cavalry is extremely fierce, so they are still slightly at a disadvantage.
When they first saw the Thunder Beast Brigade, they also thought that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and they were ready to die in battle.
But I didn't expect that the peak turned around in a blink of an eye. The so-called enemy reinforcements were actually the Thunder Beast Brigade. The cavalry of the Third Battle Regiment suddenly boosted their morale and killed the barbarians one after another.
Although the barbarian side was brave, he was not a fool. Seeing that the thunder beast warriors who were charging were about to attack them, they immediately blew the horn and retreated in the direction of Wallen City.
If the barbarians are ready to escape, the cavalry of the Third Regiment can't catch up, because their horses are not very suitable for running on the snow ice field, and the snow camels of the thunder beast warriors are tired after a long journey, and one charge is enough to consume the remaining physical strength.
So most of the barbarian cavalry successfully escaped, leaving only two or three hundred bodies on the snow.
Reon is not in the mood to chase the enemy. Although those are all visible achievements, in fact, the results of the Thunder Beast Brigade have been very brilliant, and it doesn't matter whether it is the icing on the cake or not.
He led the soldiers to join the cavalry of the Third Battle Regiment. All the soldiers on both sides cheered for victory and shouted excitedly to the sky.
A lion officer and knight greeted him and shouted excitedly, "Baron Leon, we have finally found you!"
"Thank you!" Leon smiled and asked, "Where is the third regiment now?"
"Let's talk about it on the way. Count Octavia ordered us to return as soon as we find you."
"Good!" Leon nodded.
The two teams temporarily merged together and headed south.
On the way home, the officer and knight told Leon that the third regiment set out from Baishi City to attack Wallen City the day before yesterday, and cooperated with the two regiments of the Northern Guards to encircle Wallen City, and they were sent to pick up the Thunder Beast Brigade.
"So you don't have to worry. Except for the enemy who just escaped, no barbarians will come here. The army of barbarians has basically shrank into the city. They can't hold on for a long time!" The knight said.
Leon nodded. Although it was easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, now Linsk Port has been messed up by him. Wallen City has lost its only support. In addition, the food storage in the city is limited. It is only a matter of time before it is captured.
The only variable is to see whether the barbarians will fully support Valen City, but that also has to make Valen City stick to it.
"According to the order of the Count of Oktavia, we will escort you directly to White Rock without participating in the battle against Warren." The knight finally said, "You are resting in White Rock for a while, and the Count of Oktavia asked me to tell you..."
"He thanked you for your sacrifice and efforts for the kingdom and the Third World War!"
On horseback, the officer respectfully saluted Leon.
The Count of Octavia and the Third War Group have reason to thank Leon. The Thunder Beast Brigade rushed hundreds of miles to destroy the important port of the barbarians. This battle made the reputation of the Third War Group and let the Northern Guards see the bravery and fearlessness of the Southern Army.
From the perspective of the whole war situation, this battle has greatly affected the war situation on the Eastern Front. At least there will be problems with the supply of supplies on the barbarian side, which disrupts the deployment of the enemy and is conducive to the upcoming battle after the arrival of the expeditionary force.
The team went all the way south. After a day and night's trip, they finally arrived at Baishi City.
Finally back!
Seeing the flag flying on the wall in the distance, Leon relaxed. On the way back, his nerves were always tense, and his heart was under great pressure.
Now I can finally have a good sleep!
At this time, there were only a few guards left in Baishi City. The main force of the Third Battle Regiment was dispatched, and the small city became a supply base in the rear, hoarding a large amount of food and weapons.
When they arrived at the barracks in the city, the extremely tired soldiers immediately lay in the house and slept soundly, even taking off their armor.
The most unbearable thing is the five shaman mages. They gritted their teeth and persisted. They almost couldn't hold on on the way to Baishi City. As soon as they arrived in the city, they collapsed directly to the ground.
But Leon couldn't rest like them. The knight officer gave him a warrant issued by the Count of Oktavia, so that he officially took over White Rock and was responsible for the supply of supplies to the Third Regiment.
This is not a hard task, because there are three war regiments in front, and the white stone city in the rear is naturally safe, and he does not need to do the distribution of dispatching materials by himself. There are special heavy troops and quartermasters in the city.
So this is equivalent to letting Leon and the Thunder Beast Brigade have a good rest in Baishi City. They have made dazzling achievements in front of them, and now it's time for the third battle group to perform.
Otherwise, in the end, let others know that the thunder beast brigade that has made great contributions is only attached to the territory of the third regiment, and the real main force does nothing, then the Count of Oktavia will be quite faceless.
After handing over the warrant, the knight officer and his cavalry hurriedly left the White Rock City and went to Wallen City to meet the main force. The battle of the siege was about to begin, and every point of combat strength was precious.
After he left, Leon became the controller of Baishi City and officially took over the small northern city.
As the supreme commander, he lived in the most luxurious building in the city, which was originally owned by the city owner and nobles.
It is rare that there are still five servants in the house, including two middle-aged maids. They did not evacuate after the fall of Wallen, but continued to stay here to serve the later gacy commanders.
This saves Leon a lot of things. At least someone will boil hot water for him to take a shower and prepare a delicious dinner. He doesn't need to do it himself.
Leon took a mandarin duck bath with the rose. During this period, the rose followed her out of life on the polar ice sheet. All the way, the leopard girl was haggard.
After taking a shower and enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Leon arrived at **. Although Rose was still with him, he did not have the slightest desire to be evil.
Quietly hugging the lover in his arms, sniffing the familiar fragrance, Leon's heart is happy and safe, and sleepiness comes quietly.
The night passed peacefully.
