Blood Lord of War

Chapter 110
It wasn't until the sun had completely risen below the horizon that the Windcastle army finally extinguished the fire in the camp.

The camp was in a mess. The entire eastern part of the barracks was burned down, leaving only a piece of scorched earth and burned military tents everywhere. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and the smell of roasted human flesh.

Those charred corpses were covered in pitch black, and their bodies were in strange twisted postures, as if they were still struggling in pain before dying.

The tents of the military doctors were overwhelmed with wounds, and many wounded soldiers could only lie on the ground crying in pain without receiving timely medical treatment.

Physicians are absolutely scarce talents in the wasteland. Baron has such a large army, but there is only one physician, and there are hundreds of wounded in one night. He can't keep up with it alone.

The wounded are still being sent in continuously. After each wounded is sent in, the doctor will take a look at it first.Those with minor injuries need not be rescued, and those with serious injuries should be given priority. If it is already too late, the doctor will directly let him carry it out and throw it outside to wait for death.

The identities of the wounded will also be distinguished, and the soldiers will try their best to rescue them. If they are farmers, there is no need to waste medicine.The least valuable thing on the wasteland is human life, and medicine is more valuable than human beings.

This army doctor is just a second-handed doctor with average medical skills. In addition to the shortage of medicine and manpower, many wounded who could have been saved failed to survive.

Wind Castle soldiers dug three large pits with a size of a hundred people outside the barracks. Dozens of people were busy back and forth beside the pits like ants, and the corpses were thrown into the pits one by one like garbage. Fill it full, then fill it with a thin layer of floating soil, and bury the corpse hastily.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Baron Baron sat on a chair with a gloomy face, listening to the report of the loss by his officers.

"Basically the rations of the logistics team have been burned, and each department still has some rations carried with the team, which can last for three days." Holding a thick booklet in his hand, the young officer stood in front of Baron. , reporting cautiously.

Then the officer reported the casualties of the soldiers.

The biggest loss was the logistics team, including those injured and dead. More than [-] civilians responsible for escorting the luggage were reduced, and more than [-] soldiers were reduced.Not many of these people actually died under the sword of the deer cavalry, most of them died from the fire and trampled on each other when they fled.

"Also, Baron Le Pen died in battle." The officer seemed afraid of angering Baron, so he even lowered his voice in the report.

After listening to the casualty report, Baron Baron's expression became even more gloomy.

Since entering the wasteland, Baron has fought no fewer than a dozen battles, but he has never encountered an opponent like Robin, nor has he suffered such a big loss.

"Okay, step back." Baron took a deep breath and said with a cold face.

As if he had received an amnesty, the young officer hurriedly bowed his head and left the military tent.Immediately afterwards, three barons loyal to Baron walked in.

"Here you are, sit down." Baron said.

Although everyone's title is baron, Baron's status is obviously higher than the other three, not only because of Baron's stronger strength, but also because these three small lords were originally just commoners, and Baron was born in the viscount's family. The family, is the old nobleman.So from the very beginning, Baron didn't regard these three people as nobles on the same level as him.

There were four chairs on the left and right sides of the military tent, which used to be the seats for the four of them, but now that Le Pen died, there was a seat vacant.

After the three barons were seated, looking at Le Pen's vacant seat, everyone's face was not very good-looking.They followed Baron, just hoping that when Baron ate meat, they could get a mouthful of soup to drink, but they didn't want to lose their lives on the battlefield.

"Why does Robin have a cavalry team?" Baron suddenly asked with a gloomy face.

The three little lords looked at each other, and no one could answer this question.

Before the start of the war, Baron had already conducted a thorough investigation of the strength of Raging Waves City. If he didn't even know the composition of the enemy's army, then Baron would not rush to war.

As far as Balon knew, Robin had a team of 50 highlander spearmen and a team of 60 half-elven archers.However, neither the information provided by the Golden Rose family nor the information obtained by Baron himself showed that Robin had a cavalry unit.

Baron remembered that it was still a group of deer cavalry composed of half-elves.Although there was chaos on the battlefield last night, the elf deer was so conspicuous that it could be recognized at a glance.

Baron's impression of half-elves was the same as that of ordinary people. He believed that half-elves were too weak and could not go to the battlefield at all.But judging from last night's performance, these half-elves were all very brave, even stronger than Baron's soldiers. They were definitely an elite cavalry unit.

How could a group of half elves have such a strong fighting power?
Baron couldn't understand it. He knew that there might be awakened people in the group of half-elves, but it's impossible for a team of cavalry to be all awakened people, right?That's simply not realistic.

Then Baron remembered that Robin had raided his slave camp and snatched a half-elf tribe from him, and that tribe happened to have grazing elf deer.

Could it be that the cavalry under Robin are these deer-raising half-elves?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Baron immediately denied his conjecture. That half-elf tribe couldn't even defeat his own slave-hunting team. It was a bunch of weak chickens. It was completely different from those sturdy deer cavalry last night. Baron didn't believe it. These two will be the same gang.

It took less than two months for the half-elf tribe to be snatched by Robin. In such a short period of time, it is impossible to train a group of weak half-elves into elite cavalry. Baron firmly I think Robin doesn't have this ability.

Although he was very unconvinced, after the night attack last night, Baron had to admit in his heart that he had underestimated Robin before, and that this man was stronger than he imagined.

"Master Baron, shall we continue the fight?"

A little lord suddenly asked, his name was Lena, he was tall and thin, and he was originally a businessman.It could be heard from his tone that he wanted to retreat a bit.

Before Baron could answer, another person followed suit: "My lord, we are running out of food. I think it's better to withdraw our troops for the time being."

The third person quickly followed suit and nodded in agreement.

The three little lords were obviously terrified by Robin. They knew in their hearts that Le Pen was just unlucky. If any of them were the first to encounter the deer cavalry, they would have suffered the same fate.

Robin's toughness terrified them, so the three of them didn't want to fight anymore.

Baron's icy eyes swept over the faces of the three of them one by one. The three of them couldn't help lowering their heads, and none of them dared to look at Baron.

"I will immediately send someone back to Fengbao to transport the grain, and transport it from Fengbao. If there is some rush, the grain can be transported in four days. So you don't have to worry about the problem of grain and grass."

Baron's tone was very calm, but there was an unquestionable momentum in the calm.

Although he suffered a small defeat, it was not enough to break Baron's fighting spirit. His heart was as hard as a piece of iron, and victory was his only goal.

Baron knew in his heart that only by defeating Robin and obtaining Robin's iron ore could he obtain more resources from the Golden Rose family.The environment of the wasteland was too barren, and Baron could only rely on the Golden Rose family if he wanted to become a great nobleman to rule. This was the path he chose.

"Last night's defeat was because we didn't know that Robin actually had a cavalry unit. Now that we know, his hole card has been revealed, so there is nothing to be afraid of. It's time for us to play our cards."

Baron said calmly.

"My main force is not lost, and our strength is still much larger than Robin's. We can win this war."

The three little lords looked at each other, and Leiner hesitated for a moment, and summoned up the courage to ask, "My lord, what should we do if Robin sends cavalry to harass our food delivery team?"

"He would never do that."

Baron didn't hesitate, and immediately said with certainty.

"Robin's troops are not enough. If he still divides the cavalry, there will only be fifty highlanders and sixty half-elves guarding Rage City. My army can easily break through his city. Moreover, as long as Raging Waves City is captured, food will no longer be a problem."

Baron's analysis seemed very reasonable, and the three little lords couldn't find anything wrong with the analysis for a while.They didn't want to continue fighting, and they couldn't persuade Baron, so the three fell into silence.

"Go back and pack up. At noon today, we will break out of camp and continue marching towards Raging Waves City." Baron's face was as cold as a piece of ice. He looked at the three present and said in an orderly tone.

The three barons looked at each other, but stood up bravely, and replied together: "Of course, Lord Baron."

None of the three of them dared to disobey Baron's decision. Fear of Baron's strength was also an important reason why they chose to follow Baron.

……

Under the surveillance of the half-elven scouts, the news that the Windcastle Army was on their way again soon reached Robin's ears.

The lord was a little surprised. He originally thought that Baron would have two choices: either retreat first and plan another day;

However, Baron chose the most wrong option: continue to attack Raging Waves City.

Robin sat in the lord's hall, and after hearing this information, he couldn't help laughing, and mocked: "This guy is purely courting death!"

The three main players in Raging City at the moment, Simon, Luke and Tess, were also sitting at the long table. Robin thought for a while and called out, "Tess."

Tess stood up immediately and said neatly, "Here!"

"You immediately lead the deer cavalry out of the city, go around to the rear of the Windcastle Army, cut off his food road, and make them have no food to eat." A sinister smile appeared on Robin's face.

Tess frowned slightly, and asked with some concern: "My lord, Baron will be arriving soon. If the troops are divided at this time, will the pressure on the city defense be too great?"

Robin didn't answer Tess' question directly, but looked at Simon and Luke: "Did you hear, Tess doesn't believe you."

Iron Bear Warrior and Luke immediately stood up and expressed their opinions.

Simon slapped his marble-like chest muscles, and shouted loudly: "Our iron guards will not let a Windcastle step into the gate of Rage City. I will leave my words here today. If we can't, Just cut off my tongue!"

The straightforward highlander swore he would never give himself a way out, and Luke next to him was dumbfounded.

The half-elf guy originally just wanted to express his determination casually, but he didn't expect this bastard Simon to play so big and say such cruel words as cutting his tongue.

Although Luke didn't want to cut his tongue, he was not to be outdone, especially not to be defeated in front of Simon.Because he can't beat Simon in close combat, Luke, who is competitive, always wants to beat Simon in other places, although his archery skills are beyond Simon's flattery.

Therefore, Luke also immediately said: "If the people of Windcastle break through the city gate, I will cut off one ear!"

"Why do you learn from me? You don't swear by yourself?" Simon turned his head and immediately started to hate Luke.

Luke also immediately retorted: "Who imitated you, you cut off your tongue, I cut off your ears, it's very different, okay?"

Simon and Luke rushed to each other to swear, and Tess on the side was stunned.

The half-elf girl thought to herself: Is it a military tradition in Rage City to swear before the battle?Then should I also swear a poisonous oath, otherwise I will appear to be out of group.

In order to show that she is also a member of Raging Waves City and a subordinate of Robin, she hastily swore loudly: "If you can't complete the task assigned by the lord and cut off the food and grass of the Wind Castle Army, then I will... I will..."

Tess racked her brains for a while, and suddenly a bright light came to her head.

"I'll cut off a finger!"

Seeing that the half-elf girl was also led astray by the two enemies, Simon and Luke, Robin shook his head helplessly, and quickly stopped Tess: "You don't need to learn from them, just complete the task. Anyway, I It means that you don’t need to worry about Raging Waves City, there are iron guards and half-elf archers staying behind, that’s enough.”

Tess straightened her waist: "Yes! My lord."

That night, Tess left Rage City with the cavalry, leaving only a few deer cavalry as scouts.

Then, when the time came to noon the next day, the scouts reported that the Windcastle army had finally arrived.

"Woooooo-"

Under Robin's order, the sentinel blew the horn on the sentry tower to call for the assembly of the whole army.Immediately afterwards, there was a rush of footsteps in Rage City, and a moment later, the iron guards and half-elves gathered in the open space in front of the lord's mansion.

As usual, Iron Guards and Half-Elves formed two phalanxes in the open space. They were wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands. All of them looked terrified, ready to fight.

Then, the gate of the lord's mansion opened, and Robin came out in heavy armor.

He walked in front of his army, first glanced at the faces of each soldier with sharp eyes, and then said loudly: "The enemies of Windcastle are coming, without further ado, kill them!"

"kill!!!"

Simon took the lead in shouting, and the iron guard and half-elf troops immediately burst into thunderous roars!
