Chapter 266 Scouting the Enemy

The internal military negotiations were held in the small conference room of the fortress. Except for the generals from Orand and Dieryne, the Kansadar side, only the counts of Ronav and Baron Ivin who could still cooperate with the operation.

Lyon's arms on the desktop, concentrating on reviewing the number of key grain accumulation marked by Count Lenov with several chess pieces, these locations were related to the survival of this coalition for several days.

The food and grass in Grald County's food and grass are already very nervous. Earl Elifut cannot get more food to help the Kansadar of the Sobenzzle. It is imminent to resolve the food crisis of the coalition forces. First task.

"Before the army retreated to the North Shore, the" Dor Camp "on the south bank was stored with 5,000 Lun Grain and grass.

‘Maton Town’ is about 10,000 Lun.

The large warehouse of "Ashford Port" has hoarded 24,000 thousand thousand Lun.

‘Finilin City’ has a 20,000 -tone.

The "Hargostanbort" reserves 16,000 thousand Lun ... "Count Lenov carefully introduced these large granary.

"Lun Bang" is a unit for the kingdom of Khamadar to measure food. Its weight is basically the same as that of Orand's "Ao Shi", which does not cause Leon to have a problem of conversion.

At this critical moment, he had no intention to pursue why the other party failed to transport most of the grains to the north bank to store it in advance.

Perhaps because of the limited transportation capacity of hasty when defeating? Or maybe those young Eastern lords had too optimistic counterattack expectations?

In any case, it is meaningless to discuss these at this moment. Lyon just wants to attack as soon as possible to recapture those vital grain resources. Of course, the premise is that these foods are still intact at this moment.

However, first evaluate the transportation capacity of the coalition forces, how to formulate the prerequisite for subsequent action plans.

Lyon immediately raised key issues to Count Lunav: "How many heavy carriages can your army currently gather on the North Shore for transportation?"

Earl Lunif quickly looked at his staff, and the latter gave a clear response: "Everyone, at present, there are 54 large four -wheeled carriages on the North Shore. Food "

However, this transportation power is far from meeting Lyon's needs. His tone unquestionable tough order said: "No, no matter what you take, or to call artisans to build urgently, forced to call from the people, it must be the shortest in the shortest. During the time, set up a heavy team that can transport at least four thousand Lun to grain and grass within a journey. "

After speaking, Lyon again examined the label on the map, and planned specific military operations in the brain: "What is the distribution and specific number of the military forces in these five places?"

Faced with Leon's inquiry, Lunav's face hesitant and replied embarrassingly: "Before retreat, Ashford Port was severely attacked by the Dead Army. It also includes a powerful undead elite.

As for other locations, I have no exact intelligence for reference. Every time our whistle rides enters the occupied area that is shrouded in the clouds of the undead, people who can come back will not save one ... "

Lyon heard a moment of silence. He understood that this could not blame them. Even if the mortal sentry could get the courage to cross the desperate dead domain, he may be pulled out of the soul because of the magic sound of calling the soul bell. The effect directly acts on the soul of the creature, even if it is blocked.

However, now with the protection of the spiritual lanterns, the pioneer can be sent to a more in -depth reconnaissance. Naturally, he must not rashly cross the river to launch an attack when the enemy is unclear.

The primary task is to confirm whether the grain in these granaries is still intact, and understand the distribution of the number of undeads in various places and the elite of the enemy.

Lyon raised the next question: "In your army, is there still a warrior who is willing to cross the river to face the dead army?"

Before the Earl, the Knights of the Cavalry beside him couldn't help but hold the cold and hummed: "The knights of the Baldim family are ready to go to the opposite bank to kill the killing spirit!"

Lyon didn't care about his tone and responded calmly: "Very good, but I don't plan to send soldiers to give their lives in vain. I want you to organize the two teams to quickly cavalry, cross the river, and go to 'Dor Camp' and 'Morton The town's' reconnaissance. With your two wizards using the protective lanterns, you can keep your soldiers from being harmed by the bells of the undead. Essence

Seeing this, Countess Lenov appealed a little to the Knight of the Cavalry, and immediately said that he accepted Leon's order: "I will arrange it right away."

Lyon, he chose to take the initiative to take the most dangerous place. After all, as the rare cast in the army, he did not have the surplus of the town's military account: "I will personally lead the Avaron cavalry and go to the port of Ashford for survey."

After speaking, he looked at the soldiers under his Majesty.

"Greenson Cavaliers, Derrick Cavaliers, and Ryerian Knight." Lyon named.

"Adults, what are the instructions?" Several chivalrous knights responded immediately.

"Can you invite you to lead the Ranger Cavaliers and go to Finilon City for reconnaissance?

There are the largest cities in the five locations other than Ashford's port, and the farthest from the North Coast Road. I think it is the most secure to go with the powerful and experienced ranger as you are in danger. "

"Give us."

The veteran Ranger Green Surne accepted the mission.

Then, Leon turned to his own Hippogriff Knight: "Corvis."

"My lord."

The blond boy looked at his master, waiting for orders.

"You join the team led by Mr. Greenthorne, follow the command, and be sure to protect the safety of all rangers." Leon ordered.

"As commanded."

Finally, Leon looked at the grand leader Irem from the Holy Lake: "I leave the reconnaissance mission of Hagenstein Castle to your knights."

As the general of Yirim's elite army, Leon has no worries about how he will carry out military operations. The three soul-protecting holy lamps have also been handed over to the monks of the opposite army in advance for use. Now Yilili With your Knights, the entire army can come and go freely in the Dead Realm of the Undead.

"Under the witness of Iralil, I will definitely complete the task you have given me." Grand Captain Yreem pounded his breastplate to show his determination.

After appointing several teams, Leon once again said to Count Runaf: "Please appoint accompanying guides who are familiar with the local roads for our teams."

Runaf heard the words and responded.

"Sir, please let me join your team. I am very familiar with the roads of Port Ashford." Baron Ivan volunteered.

"Okay." Leon did not refuse.

"Lord Balfe, for the time being, you can lead the troops in the camp to rest and strengthen their vigilance, and wait for our news. I will leave Azerion behind. If there is an emergency, he will lead the remaining Avalon troops to follow your orders."

Baron Scarface nodded, having no objection to this.

He also carefully discussed with everyone the specific action plans for different situations,

Everything was over. At this time, Leon asked Laura in his mind whether there was anything wrong with his arrangement. After receiving the affirmation from Miss Saint, he relaxed.

From now on, the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the North Shore are controlled by his every decision, and Leon's spirit has to be treated with caution.

The military meeting was dismissed, and everyone quickly returned to their camps to prepare their troops.

Avalon Camp.

After a day and night of rest to relieve the fatigue of marching, the soldiers were refreshed.

Before noon, the army began to serve meat to the soldiers who set off.

The elite knights who were dubbed "Lion Wings" quickly checked their weapons and armor, and carried rations and water bottles that could last for several days.

At the same time, other helping warriors tied the fine grain bags and bundles of fodder firmly to the sides of the horses. Soon, the fully armed cavalry wearing sword-wing battle robes led the horses and lined up, ready to go.

Leon left several Avalon knights to assist Azerion, then got on his horse with Olivia and Rohark, and led the Lion Wing Cavalry and the Ranger Knight out of the camp.

He could see that the camp of the Knights of the Holy Lake was already slightly empty, and Fort Hagenstein was located further to the south. Captain Yirem was the first to follow the guide on the journey.

Looking back, Leon saw that Baron Ivan and Knight Ron, as guides, were already waiting at the intersection with several cavalry.

After they joined the team, about two hundred elite cavalrymen quickly rode towards the crossing of the river.

During the march, Leon finally couldn't bear the curiosity and turned to Ivan and asked: "By the way, what happened to your 'Gryphon Mercenary Group'?"

Ivan explained to him calmly in the saddle: "After you and Miss Olivia left, Shatai City was still not able to be defended.

Fortunately, two of them repelled the undead vanguard, giving us a chance to breathe. I evacuated the entire city's soldiers and civilians in batches to the family territory on the other side of the lake.

But when the undead army attacked for the second time, I saw that it was unstoppable, so I set fire to Shatai City, and led the last remaining army to escape from the city by boat.

But later, even the big lake couldn't stop the undead from advancing, and we were forced to give up our territory. We led the people to retreat to the territory of the Bardim family, defected here, and fought under Lord Runaf. "

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

"We are not the only families who have lost their territory. We are lucky to have escaped from the siege of the army of the dead. Many eastern nobles lost their lives when the dark clouds first struck.

What's even more frightening is that they also saw the familiar faces of their fathers in the undead army. It is said that those lords who had no news after joining the Eastern Expedition turned into undead. But they turned into ghoul lords and even attacked. He slaughtered his own people and family in his own territory, as if he had no consciousness at all. "

Speaking of this, Ivan shuddered, and he paused: "Sorry, I'm going too far. After losing my territory, in order to protect myself, under Ron's suggestion, I will still choose to follow my family's knights and soldiers, and fight with the disaster victims under his command. The young men in the team who could fight merged to form a mercenary group."

"To commemorate your rescue, I named my army 'Gryphons'. I hope you don't mind. If it offends me, I will change it to another name immediately."

Knowing the reason, Leon waved his hand: "Just call it the Griffin Mercenary Group. There is no need to change it. As long as you don't do evil, I don't mind."

At this time, Ron on the side touched his chest and interjected: "Sir, please forgive me for disturbing you."

Leon looked at the knight uncle who was wearing plate armor and was loyal to Ivan.

".You want to ask about the little gold coin?"

Ron nodded: "Excuse me, that brat didn't cause any trouble for you in Avalon Castle, did he?"

Leon comforted him, "Don't worry. My barony is at the junction of Orland and Kantadar. He is not the only Kantadar child in my castle. Brandon is very well behaved. He is not so thin after eating and drinking well. He is now studying and learning to read in the academy I built."

Ron was very pleased to hear that the little gold coin was doing so well. Although it was difficult for him to bow on the back of the warhorse, he still leaned forward and bowed his head slightly: "Thank you again for your kindness in taking him in."

Leon shook his head: "I also want to thank you for sending me a talented magic apprentice. Brandon also thinks about you every day. I see that your relationship is so deep. When the undead are eliminated and the war is over, you might as well adopt him as your son."

"That's what I meant." Ron smiled.

"Eliminate the undead."

Ivan murmured and repeated Leon's words, sighing heavily.

In order to protect his family and the people, he would not stop swinging his sword until he fell, but now facing the corpse ghosts that could not be killed even if the blade was cut off, he could not see any hope of victory.

"Lord Leon, can we really win?"

Leon looked at Ivan's confused eyes, nodded calmly, and seemed to be just stating the facts:

"I will lead you to defeat the undead. I have a countermeasure, but now we have to solve the problem of military rations."

Ivan looked at the confident Griffin Baron, and thought that the other party was still a mysterious wizard who could make tools to deal with the undead. He was relieved. After experiencing a series of defeats and escapes, at least at this moment, the courage and faith brought to him by witnessing the other party falling from the sky a few months ago seemed to have returned to his heart.

Leon turned his head and looked at the river in front of him, which originated from the branch of the Rushina River, went south through the territory of Kantadar, and was called the Usato River by the Southern Kingdom.

On the other side of the river, the gloomy sea of ​​clouds that covered the sky seemed to divide the border between the living and the dead.

He knew that what he said to Ivan just now was actually a lie.

How to defeat the undead, Leon had no idea at the moment.

Arriving at the holy city of Rolandal was undoubtedly his highest strategic goal.

But when Kantadar launched the Eastern Expedition and the Undead Disaster spread across the land, the distance of only a few hundred kilometers became like a natural chasm.

Thousands of miles away.

In the vast wasteland, only a few rare animals appeared, and the cycle of life and death was covered by endless loneliness.

The disaster in the far southwest seemed to have nothing to do with the desolate mountains in the northernmost part of the continent.

Until the underground corridor connected to the unfathomable deep canyon, countless heavy steps entered the dark realm that had not been set foot by intelligent life for a long time.

I don’t know how many desperate situations and dead ends I have passed through in the past few months.

On the huge and dark underground platform.

When countless short and sturdy figures held torches high, they illuminated the ring-shaped giant structure that had been eroded and broken by the years.

Gorim couldn’t wait to walk past the guards.

His rough big hands stepped forward to touch the base of the giant structure, feeling the ancient runes and carvings belonging to his ancestors.

It was as if a wanderer who had been separated for six or seven hundred years returned home, as if seeing this realm gate open would be the new homeland that the people of the remnant nation had been searching for.

"I believed you, Gorim, but after eating dust for several months, I only saw a useless ruin!"

A dwarf with a bare upper body, scars all over his body, and a horse-hair hairstyle, came to the side of the King of Steelforge with a war hammer and shouted rather dissatisfiedly. His high voice echoed far away in the empty underground ruins.

Gorim's old face recovered from the excitement. He shook his beard and looked at his cousin: "At least what Lord Feru said was not a lie. Such a hidden and deep underground ruins, even the ancestral underground network map is not marked. How can a Feru person make up so accurately?"

". Then go find him immediately!

Let him start this so-called realm gate immediately, at all costs!"
