Chapter 556: The Bandit Fighting Trio
On the night when Vivian came to Su Cheng and others' home——
June 20, 291 AD of the Britannian Empire,
21:30 in the evening.
Britannia Empire, western region, at the foot of a certain mountain.
Dots of "starlight" surround this mountain from all directions.
This scene that should be extremely beautiful is filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Because this little "starlight" is the light of the Britannian Army's camp.
A temporary bandit-defeating army composed of 30,000 Uriel Knights recruits and 4,000 armored warriors surrounded the mountain.
This "layers of siege" is literally what it means. 34,000 people surrounded this mountain layer by layer. There was not a single gap, not even a wild boar or a wild deer could escape.
Somewhere in this layer of surrounding network, there is an observation tower made of wood.
On the observation deck, stood a middle-aged man wearing black and red armor, and a young man wearing white and red armor.
This middle-aged strong man held the black knight sword on his waist and quietly looked at the mountain surrounded by layers in front of him. Then he asked the young man standing beside him in a tone that was neither salty nor indifferent. road:
"Enri, what time is it now?"
"21:30."
"Well, let's take a rest tonight. When the sun rises tomorrow - launch a general attack! Destroy the bandits entrenched on this mountain!"
"yes!"
This middle-aged strong man and young man are Allen, who was appointed as the coach of the bandit army this time, and Enli, who was appointed as the deputy coach of the bandit army.
The Britannia Empire dispatched more than 30,000 troops, led by two high-ranking knights, to defeat them. To a certain extent, these bandits in the west should feel honored.
For this task of defeating bandits, Allen decided to adopt two general strategies: "concentrate superior forces and prepare for the camp step by step" and "shoot mosquitoes with a siege crossbow".
Among the bandits in the west, there are 5 most powerful ones.
Allen decided to concentrate his forces and eliminate them one by one. After annihilating all the five most powerful bandits, he then dispersed his forces to eliminate the less powerful bandits.
The mountain in front of Allen and Enli is the base of one of the five most powerful bandit groups.
According to intelligence, the total number of bandits on this mountain is only more than 2,000. But as mentioned just now, Allen decided to adopt the general strategy of "shooting mosquitoes with siege crossbows", even though the total number of bandits on this mountain is only 2,000. There were only a few others left, but Allen also ordered his bandit-defeating army to surround the mountain as if facing a formidable enemy.
However, there is still a small gap left.
This small gap was specially left for the bandits to flee.
Used to combat the morale and fighting spirit of the bandits on the mountain.
Once people are in a situation of death, they often burst out with great fighting spirit and strength.
The purpose of leaving a hole for them to escape is to prevent them from having the opportunity to explode this will to die.
Of course, Allen was not so kind as to really give them a chance to escape.
Outside this escape hole specially left for them, a large number of soldiers and horses were ambushed.
The mission of this team of soldiers and horses is to intercept and kill the bandits who escaped through this opening specially left for them.
Now, the encirclement network has been constructed and a general attack can be launched at any time.
If Allen wanted, he could wave the flag now and order his troops to attack.
But it was night, and attacking the mountain in such pitch-black conditions would undoubtedly cause a lot of avoidable casualties.
In order to reduce casualties, Allen decided to postpone the general attack to the early morning of the next day.
"To be honest, I'm really curious about what the bandits on the mountain are thinking now." Enli smiled at Allen, who was standing next to him. "There are only about 2,000 bandits under his command who have not received any military training, but they were Surrounded by tens of thousands of regular troops, the bandit leaders on this mountain must be desperate now."
"Although we have a sure chance of victory now, we cannot be careless." Alan Chao Enli said, "After all, the bandits have the advantage of the geographical location. Although we have an absolute advantage in numbers, if we really fight, we will still have to pay. A lot of casualties.”
Just as Allen and Enli were discussing the attack plan for tomorrow morning, a voice unique to young girls suddenly came from behind them:
"Ah! Found you two!"
After hearing the sound, Allen and Enli followed the sound in unison.
I found a little girl with silver hair and purple eyes sticking her head out from the wooden ladder of the observation deck, looking at Allen and Enli with a smile on her face.
"Your Highness Ilsa?!" Enli looked at Ilsa who appeared behind them in surprise, "Why are you here? It's too high here! Please be careful!"
"Enli, you underestimate me too much."
Ilsa continued to climb the wooden ladder so that her whole body could come out of the wooden ladder, while she rolled her eyes at Enli.
"I'm not the kind of soft and soft young lady who even needs others to wait for her to wear clothes."
After saying that, Ilsa placed the small package on her back on the ground at the observation deck, and then untied it.
"Come on, eat quickly."
Inside the package, there were 3 chicken drumsticks and some dried meat.
"Your Highness Ilsa, what are these?" Enli hesitated.
"Hehe~ I just passed by the army's kitchen and took it from the kitchen~~"
A hint of childish mischief appeared in Elsa's eyes.
Although Elsa was originally a child.
"Your Highness Elsa..." Allen cast a helpless look at Her Highness Elsa, "You are stealing things..."
"I am the only granddaughter of the Emperor of the Britannia Empire!" Elsa put her hands on her waist and said in a joking tone, "Who dares to report me for stealing...ah, no, taking things! As long as you two don't report me, no one will know that I went to the kitchen to take things!"
After that, Elsa picked up a chicken leg with one hand and handed it to Enli and Allen.
"Okay, okay, eat it quickly! This is specially given to you two!"
Enli and Allen looked at Elsa's cute face, and then looked at each other for a while.
After the two of them smiled helplessly at each other in tacit understanding, they reached out and took the chicken leg from Ilsa's hand.
After thanking Ilsa, the two began to gnaw on the chicken leg that Ilsa had just handed over.
However, Allen did not gnaw on the chicken leg immediately after thanking him like Enli did.
Instead, he looked at the chicken leg in his hand for a long time with a complicated look before slowly passing it to his mouth.
Looking at the two people who were gnawing on the chicken leg she brought, Ilsa smiled happily, then picked up the last chicken leg in the package and gnawed it with Allen and Enli.
The chief commander, deputy commander, and inspector of the anti-bandit army - three people of different ages stood on the small observation tower gnawing on the chicken leg.
This picture is so humorous and warm.
