From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 238 Prince Governor 【4K】

"What's the situation now?" De Lai looked at the orderly in front of him, his brows frowning into a word.

"General, what should we do next, the Golden Swallow Flower Territory and Winton Territory have fallen, and the remnants of the orcs are going to detour to attack Doman City, but they are blocked by Lord Hans.

At present, they are heading in the direction of John, and Lord Hans asked for instructions on the next step. "The orderly said in a hurried tone.

"How many people are left in the remnant of the orcs?" Drey spread out the map and asked.

"Currently there are still about 300 people."

"Huh?" Levi looked at him in a daze. When can more than 1000 orcs be called remnants? Has the times changed so quickly?

"What do you think is the possibility that John Ling can block it?"

"It's hard to say. John's collar is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but this group of orcs is not weak, and they take the initiative. The possibility of losing both sides is greater." Levi's objective analysis.

"boom!"

De Lai slammed his fist on the table, his face full of unwillingness. The "Tiankeng" battle is at a critical moment, and manpower is stretched. Otherwise, he could take this opportunity to directly swallow the Golden Swallow collar and Winton collar.

There is even a possibility that even John will be swallowed together. Unfortunately, this timing is really unlucky!
"Order!"

"The second battalion and the fourth battalion dispatched 200 people each, plus Levi's reserve team immediately returned to the territory to take over the defense. Hans immediately led the headquarters to attack and accommodate refugees as much as possible. He should understand how to do it."

Ryan is not here, Dreyer is the supreme leader of the territory, and he can't care much about taking power in a hurry.

The most taboo thing at this time is to hesitate. Once you hesitate, you will miss a good opportunity. With the current situation of the Kanna Territory, it seems that the territory should not be considered, but the population must be grasped.

The Winton collar and the Golden swallow collar, plus some manors and knight collars mixed in the middle, have a combined population of close to 10 people. This is a very precious wealth. more important.

"Obey." Levi's accepted the order happily, and then he couldn't wait to go down to prepare. His bones would be rusted if he stayed here, and it's a good thing to be able to move around.

"We have to speed up, we can't delay any longer." De Lai said, looking around at the commanders.

"Then advance the position, create pressure on them, let them use all their strength to deal with it, and then we will form a lean force. As long as the gray mist manufacturing tower is destroyed, the outcome of this battle will be determined." Already!"

Sterling boldly suggested that at this point in the war, both sides are actually very tired, and the losses are not small.

It's better to take a risky move with a soldier, and come to a surprise soldier to attack Huanglong directly.

Drey frowned in thought, and after a while made a decision: "Okay, let's do it like this!"

That night, all the troops launched a general attack, and the monsters came out in full force. A team composed of more than a dozen mid-level and above extraordinary people, including Sterling, Mei Lan, Xiyue, Bo Lei, and Adam, went deep into the "tiankeng".

In the end, at the cost of killing three people and seriously injuring two people, the gray mist manufacturing tower was successfully destroyed. All the devils were beheaded, and a large number of devils fled out of control, and finally died slowly.

The "Tiankeng" battle, which lasted twelve days, finally came to an end. The resources invested in this battle were huge, and several main battle troops also lost a lot.

According to post-war statistics, a total of 560 and eight people were killed in this battle, 320 were lightly and seriously injured, and almost one battalion was disabled.

The loss of weapons and equipment was even more serious. More than half of the [Thousand Machine Crossbows] were damaged, twelve [Field Cannons] were lost, three [Rapid Fire Cannons] were lost, and hundreds of war knives, plate armor and other equipment were lost.

There are countless consumables such as arrows, grenades, and shells.

I don't know how long it will take to recover. This battle has almost wiped out all my money.

Fortunately, the harvest is equally gratifying. One aspect is that the devil, a confidant, has been eliminated. On the other hand, there are several precious mineral veins in the "tiankeng".

Preliminarily determined are the amethyst crystal veins, mithril veins, and thread gold veins. The value contained in them is immeasurable, but it takes manpower and material resources to mine first.

More importantly, Sterling found some undestroyed materials in the devil's laboratory, which recorded in detail the manufacturing technology of some demon seeds.

If the Cana Territory can decipher and master this technology, then they can also build an army of behemoths, which will be a great advancement in the territory's biotechnology.

------

In late June, the sun was shining outside, but the Kuwaiti snowfield was still a vast expanse of whiteness. It seemed that this land had never experienced spring or summer, let alone autumn. There was only bitterly cold winter throughout the year.

But for such a piece of land, the Andis Kingdom and the Tistan Kingdom have been fighting for hundreds of years, and several large-scale battles broke out before and after.

It is not known how many soldiers from both countries were buried here.

And now, the fourth battle of Kuwait has begun. At the beginning of April this year, the 15 troops of the Kingdom of Tistan attacked from the Shuofeng Fortress, crossed the buffer zone, and went straight to the border fortress of the Andes Kingdom.

Another [-] troops were divided into five groups to attack the border city of the Kingdom of Andis on the Kuwait snowfield. For a while, the flames of war were everywhere, and the flames of war were everywhere.

After nearly three months, the number of soldiers killed in battle has already exceeded the [-] mark.

Due to the full preparation of the Tistan Kingdom and the advantage of sneak attack, the three fortresses and six border cities on the front line of the Kuwait Snow Field in the Andes Kingdom have fallen.

The Kingdom of Andis organized several large-scale counterattacks but failed. In a short period of time, the Kingdom of Tistan has gained a firm foothold.

At present, Sokfia Luke, the Grand Duke of the North with the title of [Sword of the Kingdom], the Marshal of the Expeditionary Army of the Kingdom of Tistan, has come to the "Rock Fortress" to take command.

Using the three fortresses as bridgeheads, he divided his forces into multiple attacks, intending to take down the entire Kuwait Snowfield within half a year, and then take advantage of the victory to sweep the Kingdom of Andis, which can be described as ambitious.

But the kingdom of Andis is not just for nothing. After a temporary defeat, it regrouped its army and voluntarily gave up part of its territory to rebuild its defense line in the rear.

The opponent's idea is very simple, that is to exchange space for time, give up the territory that cannot be defended, slow down the advance speed of the army of the Tistan Kingdom, and at the same time disperse their forces, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In this battlefield, Andis has the home court advantage. He only needs to stick to it for a while, and when the domestic reinforcements arrive, he can counterattack across the board!
It was under such circumstances that a total of 6 reinforcements from the southern and western borders finally arrived at the "Iron Armored Fortress" after several months of trekking.

This is one of the three fortresses currently occupied by the kingdom. The strategic location is very important. The people of Andes dream of taking it back. Now, this place has become a springboard for attack.

In the temporary camp, Ryan looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky in a daze. This land was the beginning of his life in this world.

That expedition changed Ryan's life. He didn't expect to set foot on this land again. It was several years later. He also grew from a lost low-level officer to a legion commander commanding nearly ten thousand soldiers.

It's just that the stalwart figure that had been supporting him behind him back then has disappeared, and he himself has become that figure.

"Iron Armored Fortress, our legion was responsible for attacking here during the expedition, but it failed and suffered heavy losses. Half of my brigade lost here."

Allen came to Ryan's side, looked at the looming city wall ahead, and said with a bit of emotion.

What was not completed at the beginning was easily realized this time.

"Yeah, and then the army was defeated, that is, at that time I accidentally left the army, and you led the team to find it."

A smile formed on the corner of Ryan's mouth, and everything that happened that year is still vivid in his memory.

It was from that moment that the fate of both of them changed.

"I didn't expect that you and General Allen were both in father's army back then. It's such a coincidence. Perhaps even father didn't expect you to be on an equal footing with him so soon."

Elsa held the stove in her hand and came out wearing a mink cloak. For some reason, as soon as she entered the snow field, her hands were as cold as ice, and she had to use the stove to warm up to get better.

This is a very abnormal situation. You must know that although the physique of a magician is not as good as that of a knight, it is far superior to ordinary people. Although the temperature in the Kuwait snow field is low, it is not to the extent that it can affect extraordinary people.

A situation like Aisha's is even more impossible, but no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find the reason, and in the end it could only be attributed to personal physique.

"Why did you come out? There is heating in the room." Ryan looked at Aisha's blue hands and said with distress.

"It's the first time I've been to the snowfield, so I'm going to come out and have a look. Besides, I just have cold hands, so I'm fine." Aisha smiled and said.

"Oh, you." Ryan stretched out his hand to hold Aisha's hand, the coolness from above made Ryan shiver uncontrollably, it was no different from an ice skate.

He quickly circulated his grudge to warm his hands, and then passed it to Aisha's hands.

Seeing the situation, Allen walked aside wisely, leaving time for the two to spend alone.

Gradually, the coolness finally subsided a little bit, and Aisha's hands could see blood, and then Ryan said: "It was in this land that I made enough meritorious deeds. That's when I met you in the library of the Academy of Magic."

Aisha looked at Ryan who was earnestly keeping her warm, and said with a sweet smile in her heart, "At that time, I thought you were the young master of some big family."

"It was thanks to your help during that time. When we said goodbye, we thought we would never see each other again. I didn't expect that we were so destined." Ryan recalled the days when he forgot to sleep and eat in the library of the Magic Academy.

After all, the cost of going in once is really not cheap. In order to find materials for making gunpowder, he sat almost every day from morning to night.

"Hey, speaking of it, have you made the gunpowder you were going to make?"

Ryan shook his head and said, "No, but later I discovered something better than gunpowder."

"It's better than gunpowder. Back then, you almost blew gunpowder into the sky. Can there be anything better?" Aisha blinked her eyes and said.

"Of course, if you are interested, we will introduce you to a few people when we go back. They are all experts in that field."

"okay."

The two chatted one sentence at a time, the content was very plain, even a little boring, but they cherished this rare peace very much.

After all, the battle is imminent, and it will be difficult for the two of them to have such a time at that time.

In the early morning of the next day, the fortress sent someone over to summon them, saying that a pre-war meeting was to be held, and the actual military chiefs of each army should participate.

The actual military commander is very interesting. It means to let the actual commander of the troops go, and the commander who is just a name does not need to go.

This is actually easy to understand. The military position is linked to the title, and the commander of the regiment commander must at least be the title of viscount.

But not every nobleman is an excellent soldier. Some of them bear the title of commander, but in fact there are also many who have no military knowledge.

In this case, they often have assistants or adjutants who are proficient in military command, and the troops are actually controlled by them, and the legion leader is just a mascot that acts as a facade.

Obviously, Ryan is the kind of mascot in the eyes of some people. After all, he looks so young and doesn't have any famous name.

Naturally, it is considered to be a mascot for gold plating, so it is said that.

Ryan rubbed his nose, he didn't expect that he would be looked down upon when he first arrived on the battlefield, but he didn't care, he earned his face by himself.

"Go back and tell the governor, we will go right away."

The governor has two meanings in Tistan. One is the governor of the province. He is the leader of the province. He has no power in peacetime. In wartime, he is the supreme commander of the province.

The second is the governor of an army, the supreme commander of a certain army, above the head of the army and under the marshal.

In this iron-clad fortress, apart from the original garrison, there are only [-] troops from the west and south borders, and the governor is their leader.

It is said that the Governor-General has a great background, and I don't know which big family he comes from.

After tidying up briefly and greeting Aisha, Ryan walked to the temporary Governor's Mansion.

He arrived late, and the other legion commanders had already arrived.

The arrival of Ryan attracted some attention, after all, he looked too young.

Ryan has long been used to this, found an inconspicuous place to sit down, and then listened to their discussions with his ears up. Not only him, but the other people present were also very curious about the Governor.

Everyone has different guesses, but only one of them caught Ryan's attention. It was a middle-aged man with a big belly. His Excellency the Governor is most likely a Prince His Royal Highness."

"Oh? Is it the eldest prince or the third prince." The little man said worriedly.

His Majesty the King has only three children, a princess and two princes.

The two princes have their own strengths. The eldest prince is friendly but has no military talent.The third prince has outstanding military ability, but has a reckless and suspicious personality.

No matter which one it is, it seems that it is not a good thing for the expeditionary force.
