Section 350 V Error

Baelor strolled along the river bank.

A small boat is in the river, measuring the water depth with a plumb bob.Since the speed of the Chaos army's pursuit was not particularly fast, Belair was sure he had a little time.According to Ashrufat's order, he must have some knowledge of the river.Of course, he can delegate this task to others, but Baylor still prefers to do it himself.

This is the widest point of the river in the vicinity.If the Chaos Legion wants to find a place with gentle water to cross the river, then choosing this place is a good choice.If there is no bridge, this is the best position to cross the river.

"My lord, you seem to be a little restless." Robin and Belle had spent enough time together, so he noticed that Belle was a little strange.Now Robin's injury has initially healed. Although his arm is still unable to use his strength, he doesn't have to wear bandages all day long like before.

"Well, I was a little scared." Baylor admitted frankly.

"what happened?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you, for your own good." Baylor smiled slightly. "You don't want to die here aggrieved, do you?" Suddenly, he thought of Luo Diya, thinking that she must be in danger, and couldn't help but sighed again.

"I die here?"

"Yes, it will be like this." Belleur came to a conclusion decisively, making Robin even more confused.

While speaking, the surveyors on the ship had already obtained the results, and began to shout to the people on the shore.

"Sure enough...the water flow is relatively slow...without a bridge, it is a very suitable place to cross the river." Belle whispered to himself softly. "What is the name of this river? Oh, it seems to be called the Bodamir River?"

A few minutes later, the boat returned with more detailed news.This area can be said to be the most suitable location for crossing the river. If a small group of soldiers can get the support of certain tools, they should be able to cross the river.

"My lord, this area is probably the end point of our marking." Robin commented. "Sufficient troops must be deployed. In addition, there should be certain fortifications to cooperate..."

"Master General." A voice from behind made Robin turn his head.He saw the one he didn't like the most—Taler.During this period of time, whether he likes it or not, Robin has had more contact with this young man named Thaler, so he was a little surprised to find that Thaler can not only read and write, but also likes to read all kinds of military books.

Well, this is actually not an outrageous thing.In this era when movable type printing has been popularized, books are no longer treasures.Besides, the book of war has never been any confidential information that cannot be passed on.There are so many military books in the world, and there are as many people who read military books as stars, but how many of them can become famous generals?

However, Thaler has read military books, which means one thing - he can easily understand the various teachings of Beler, and there is no communication barrier between the two sides.This is not good news for Robin.

"What's the matter, Thaler." Belle looked at Thaler with interest.On the surface, Thaler looked very embarrassed at this time-his clothes and pants were covered with black sludge, and there was an unpleasant stench all over his body.

"My lord, I don't think there is any need to arrange heavy troops here," Thaler said. "There's a swamp on the edge."

"Swamp?" Belleer repeated the word.During heavy rains and floods, water overflows from the river bed and flows into nearby lower terrain, forming swamps easily.It is very common to have swamps along the rivers.

"Yes, my lord, I have carefully surveyed the surrounding swamps," Thaler said.Now, there was a logical explanation for his mud and stench—presumably he had stumbled and fallen into a swamp at one point. "I found one thing. The swamp...has completely sealed off the surrounding area. In other words, after the Chaos Legion crosses the river here, there is no other road available except for going up and down the river bank. This is a long and narrow terrain, I The army only needs to deploy a small number of troops at the southern end to resist the large-scale Chaos army. This swamp is very dangerous... I fell into the mud just now, but fortunately I escaped by grabbing the horse's tail."

"Ah, that's true. Very valuable clues. Well done, Thaler." Belleil looked at Thaler's excited face, and turned to Robin.Robin's face was already flushed.Thaler investigated valuable information, but Robin got nothing from Belleur's side.This shame made him almost want to find a hole in the ground and burrow into it.

"By the way, my lord general, what you told me before... did something happen?" Thaler asked.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Ashurfat, our general, makes me feel a little scared." Beler said lightly,

"Fear?"

"I don't mean that his talent scares me...although he's really good at it. I'm scared because...well, I sense something in him... that shouldn't be human. He's probably He is using all his rationality to control the wildly roaring primitive beast in his heart. I don’t know if the beast in his heart will break through..."

……

"...The above is all the information I got from my investigation." Beler said, looking at Ashrufat.Ashuruffat's expression was steady, and only when he looked at him carefully could he find that there was a dark cloud between his brows, like a dark cloud before a rainstorm. If you are not a sensitive person, you will not feel the horror.

"Well...the vanguard of the Chaos Legion is only one day away from us. Moreover, their magicians actually interfered with our magical communication. Now our army has completely lost the magical connection with Falcon City." Ai Xiu Rufat said. "According to the magicians, this means that they need at least thirty chaotic wizards to complete it. And these chaotic wizards... all their energy will be wasted on this matter, and they will not be able to go to the battlefield."

"Ha, good news, so they only have about 120 magicians left to go to the battlefield...only four times more than our army." Baranka said in a sarcastic tone.

"This is the most likely position for the Chaos Legion to cross the river." Aishuruffat continued. "Over the bridge... But tonight, after the last batch of troops from our army crossed the river, the bridge ceased to exist. But even if there is no bridge, the terrain on both sides here is gentle, and it is still a suitable place to cross the river."

"The river in the upper reaches is wider, isn't it more suitable for crossing the river?" Barranca asked, pointing to the map.

"This area," Baylor's finger drew a circle on the map. "It's a swamp. This swamp is very dangerous. There are many inexplicable quagmire. If you accidentally sink into it, it will be a disaster. If the Chaos Legion wants to force it through, I'm afraid it will have to pay a heavy price. The only thing that can pass is the river bank... A small area. There is a hillside here, we only need to set up an artillery position here, with a small amount of support, we can stop the army of chaos. This terrain is a typical one suitable for the few to strike the crowd."

"If they force a breakthrough..."

"We can easily increase our troops," Baylor said. "So, even if the Chaos Legion does this, it will easily form a tug-of-war. I hope they do this, which can severely dampen their momentum."

"That's it." Ashrufat said. "Our primary goal is to procrastinate for a while to give the rear more time to build city defenses. If the Chaos Legion takes a longer route to cross the river, then back and forth...we can buy at least four to six days."

"Send out scouts to monitor the upstream and downstream for three days. The Chaos Legion may also use some special method to cross the river in places where the current is relatively fast."

"By the way, everyone, the scouts reported something quite interesting to me." Ashuruffat was about to announce the end of the meeting.Belle spoke suddenly. "Maybe everyone will be interested to know."

"whats the matter?"

"It's like this. Among this Chaos Legion, there is only Tzeentch's banner. If I'm not mistaken, it is a pure army composed of Tzeentch's followers. Khorne, Slaanesh, Nathan Kuu didn't even get involved. Besides, according to the reaction of the flag...the commander of this army is not an ordinary lord."

"Ah...not a Chaos Lord, could it be a demon?"

"No, it's...a person favored by the gods. A human being favored by the evil god. Well, actually, I don't really understand the difference between a person favored by the gods and a chaos lord, but among the believers of the evil gods, the status of a person favored by the gods should be above the Chaos Lords."

"What... will this have consequences?"

"I don't know either. My news was told to me by a veteran," Baylor replied. "Maybe the favored ones are stronger and more cunning than the chaotic lords? Or...the Chaos Legion has more troops?"

……

"My lord." A wizard with a magic disk on his feet flew under the banner of the Miraculous Eagle. "As you expected, they are setting up formations along the river, and they seem to plan to rely on the river for a blocking battle."

"Hehe..." Marvin smiled smugly.This is good news, and it can even be said that it is his only chance.If the army he was facing retreated all the way and retreated into Jiancheng, things would probably become very difficult.Even if Marvin's army has the upper hand in all aspects, it cannot be said that they can easily conquer the strong stone castles of the southerners.The battle couldn't be dragged on, he couldn't afford it.The current White Castle is very empty. Before the tentacles of other evil gods reach out, he must completely destroy the armed forces of this country, otherwise everything will be out of the question.He would rather pay more casualties than a protracted siege that would take a lot of time.

"Great." Tzeentch's divinely favored wizard said these three words sincerely.

"They have torn down the bridge," said the subordinate. "That's probably not a fight to the death."

"It should be to delay for a while." Marvin replied.This is also the correct answer. "They probably still want to defend the strong city and fight a battle here. Rather than using the favorable terrain to stop our army, it's better to say that they plan to delay for a while so that the rear of the city will have enough time to build and improve the city defense. Measures. Especially Gaohua City."

Marvin is very clear about the situation in Gaohua City - when Lord Bloodfang supervised the battle and attacked the city, the auxiliary fortifications outside the city were almost completely destroyed.Therefore, if a few days can be won, Gaohua City may repair these fortifications again (maybe add some more), and greatly strengthen the city's defense capabilities.

"A very cunning military strategy. But..." Marvin said softly, his expression was smiling, but it was a sinister smile full of hatred. "I'll tell them that stopping to fight was the biggest mistake they ever made! Ashuruffat, do you think your cleverness can help you again?"
