Chapter 234 The Road to Return Next
Leon woke up from a coma.
The price of using the soul-eating arm is huge. He was drained a lot of blood. After the fierce battle, his spirit was seriously depleted. Even if he regained his mind, he had no power in his body.
Leon found himself leaning in a warm and soft embrace, and the familiar body fragrance made him sniff.
"Are you awake?" A soft cry of joy came from my ear.
Leon opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Rose's bright and beautiful eyes, which were full of joy and comfort.
A warm current suddenly surged up in his heart and he nodded vigorously.
The Mercedes-Benz snow camel stopped, and the surrounding thunder beast warriors and warriors gathered around one after another.
"Big boss, you're finally awake. That's great!"
"Where are we now?" Leon straightened up and asked.
He rode with the rose. There was still a vast snowfield around him. There was fine snow in the gloomy sky, but the wind was not strong, so it was not particularly cold.
"You have been in a coma for two days, and we are all on our way. Now we are located in the northwest of Wallen City, near the barbarian Black Iron Fortress." Rock Hammer said, "If you don't wake up, we don't know where to go."
The Black Iron Fortress is a strategic point on the border between the Far North Barbarians and the Kingdom of Bimon. It is stationed in two legions and belongs to one of the frontier bases of the barbarians against the Orcs.
Leon predicted the retreat route before planning a raid on the port of Linsk.
Winning is the responsibility and mission of the Thunder Beast Brigade, but in this barbarian territory, it is easy to pick the fruit of victory, and it is very difficult to retreat completely.
After the Battle of Linsk Port, it is strange that the barbarians have not yet reacted, and they will never lack the means to quickly deliver the news.
As long as you know that the Thunder Beast Brigade is coming along the coastline, the Lynsk Fortress will inevitably send troops south to chase, and the troops in Wallen will definitely intercept in advance.
So retreating from the original road is equivalent to throwing yourself into the net. Leon's strategy is to detour from the western line, passing through the belt between Valen City and the Black Iron Fortress, and returning to the territory of Bemon.
"Two days..." Leon pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the news been sent back to the Third Corps?"
"It's all sent back, and we only have the last falcon left now!"
The Thunder Beast Brigade carries five blue falcons for transmitting messages. This small bird is very fast and good at identifying directions, which is most suitable for transmitting intelligence to the rear.
However, this transmission is also one-sided, because it is impossible for the Thunder Beast Brigade to stay in one place, and it is difficult for the released falcon to find them again. Therefore, the third regiment can only receive reports, but not give feedback.
"Let's change our plan and now turn to the southeast and go back from the original route!" Leon said in a low voice, with a breathtaking light flashing in his black eyes: "Send a last message to the Third Battle Group, ask them to pretend to attack Wallen City and receive our return!"
This is called surprise! In two days, as long as the barbarians are not too stupid, they will definitely find that the Thunder Beast Brigade does not return from the same way, and the area between Wallen City and the Black Iron Fortress will inevitably become the focus of their defense.
So the Thunder Beast Brigade turned again in order to prevent the enemy from grasping their exact position.
However, Leon's decision comes from judgment and speculation, and there are too many uncontrollable factors on the battlefield. Who can guarantee that the barbarians will defend the eastern line of Wallen City?
So the cooperation of the third battle regiment is very important. Once they launch an attack, the enemy on the periphery must withdraw to the defense of the city. This hard-won strategic point will never be easily discarded by the barbarians.
At that time, the Thunder Beast Brigade can take the opportunity to break through the enemy's interception line and return to the safe zone smoothly.
Soon, the last blue falcon of the Thunder Beast Brigade was released.
This bird carrying the hope of the thunder beast brigade struggled its wings and rushed straight to the sky. After hovering over the snowfield for a while, it quickly flew to the southeast and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
And the Thunder Beast Brigade turned around and headed for the east line!
As they were looking for their way home against the wind and snow, the headquarters of the Third Regiment in Baishi City, hundreds of miles away, was in a fierce debate.
In front of the conference table, an aristocrat officer stood up and shouted, "I seriously doubt the information from the Thunder Beast Brigade. It may be a little credible that they raided Hailanji and destroyed two barbarian transport teams, but they raided the port of Linsk and burned all the supplies in the port area, and destroyed two frost giants during the retreat. War puppet!" (War puppet)
"Guys, is this Leon a god? He only has 900 soldiers and four warriors. How can he do this?
"It doesn't matter if he lied to his record, but if we are deceived by his lies and make a wrong judgment, which leads to failure, then who can bear the responsibility?"
The officer's words were recognized by a large number of people.
It has been seven or eight days since the Thunder Beast Brigade left Baishi City to enter the Polar Arctic Icefield, during which several battle reports were passed back through the falcon.
If the battle of Hailanji can be accepted by them, the results of the surprise attack on Linsk Port will be incredible. You should know that next to Linsk Port is the Linsk Fortress guarded by barbarians. At that time, the kingdom dispatched two legions but failed to attack. How could a team of less than a thousand people achieve such brilliant result?
So many officers and staff officers believed that Leon was falsely reporting his achievements, but some commanders were suspicious, and the regiment held several meetings for this.
"According to the war report they sent back, the Thunder Beast Brigade used the seized barbarian supplies and equipment to disguise themselves as a barbarian transport team to sneak into the Linsk port area before the attack was successful." Another officer said, "This is completely feasible in tactics. If the enemies of the Lynsk Fortress are not prepared, they have a chance to win!"
"So how to explain the destruction of the two Frost Giants?" The noble officer just now sneered and retorted, "With their five middle and low-level warriors, they can defeat the pursuit team of the Lynsk Fortress and destroy their two war puppets. Do you think this is possible?"
"I'm afraid they won't know this until they come back..."
"Okay!" Count Octavia, who had always been silent, stood up, and his majestic lion eyes swept over the faces of the two officers who were arguing: "Don't quarrel."
"Whether the battle report sent back by the Thunder Beast Brigade is true or not, we must take action. Uglu's expeditionary army has begun to set out, and we can no longer do nothing here." The count said seriously, "In fact, it is not difficult to find out the truth of the Thunder Beast Brigade. I have sent the war report back to the kingdom. There are spies of the Northern Garrisons in Linsk Port. As long as the news over there is transmitted, everything will be clear."
"For Baron Leon, I personally tend to believe in his qualities. If his war report is true, the enemy in Wallen City will inevitably fall into a state of lack of supply in the short term, which is a rare opportunity for us!"
As long as people who know a little about the military understand how much supplies tens of thousands of people need to consume every day, and Warren City was originally a barbarian city. When the city was broken, all the materials stored there were burned, and the occupiers had to rely on the transportation and supplies from the rear.
Once the supply of supplies in Linsk Port is interrupted, it is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Valen City garrison, and it is also a fighter aircraft not to be missed by the Third Regiment.
There is no doubt about the authority of the Count of Octavia in the Third Regiment. Although most of the commanders still have countless doubts, no one dares to question his decision.
The headquarters immediately began to prepare for the plan to retake the city of Warren.
During the period when the Thunder Beast Brigade left, the Third Battle Group did not stay in Baishi City and did nothing. They scouted around the area of Wallen City and could be said to know the situation in the area around Wallen City.
Near the afternoon, a knight hurried into the headquarters and handed a letter to the Count of Octavia.
The count opened it and looked a few times, and his expression became a little strange: "It was the report of the Thunder Beast Brigade. They turned from the middle of Wallen City and the Black Iron Fortress to the east of Wallen City, and withdrew again by detour. I hope our third regiment will emptend to attack Wallen City to cooperate!"
A group of officers looked at each other in conspect, and many people couldn't help but have an idea in their hearts - could it be said that the results of the Thunder Beast Brigade were true?
But how is this possible?
"Incredible, incredible!"
At the same time, in Bingfeng City, the capital of the far north of the Kingdom of Bimon, a staff officer broke into the council chamber in the military headquarters of the Northern Garrison.
He waved a piece of scroll paper in his hand, and his face was full of shock. The stunned look made the senior officers in the council hall frown.
The Northern Garritory Army is an important component of the King of Bemeng's [[***] team. It has a long and glorious history and bears the important responsibility of defending the northern frontier of the kingdom and resisting the barbarian invasion.
The Northern Garrior has 150,000 soldiers in five armies, and its overall strength is second only to Shengyao Province, which has a guard army, in the kingdom.
At the same time, the Northern Garrior is also the organizer and commander of the Far Northern Expeditionary Force. All important information about the expeditionary force will be transmitted back to Bingfeng City as soon as possible, and the middle and high-level elites of the army in the council chamber will issue orders.
The kingdom's conscription of the territorial armies of the three provinces came from the requirements of the Northern Guards, who planned to launch a huge battle against the barbarians in spring and summer to curb the increasingly rampant invasion of the barbarians.
The barbarians in the far north are like pastures on the grassland, cutting one after another. If they are not given a heavy blow, they will spread to the territory of Bemon sooner or later.
Every commander of the Northern Garriate is very clear about this truth, and they are also making unremitting efforts to this end.
