Lord of War

  The sky is slightly white, and although the sun has not yet come down, everyone knows that this moment is the last moment of dawn.

  The darkest time before dawn has long passed.

  On a wasteland, there is a small camp, but it can definitely be regarded as a tight camp.

From the perspective of scale and layout, there are many unreasonable places in this camp. For example, there is no aisle isolation between the camp and the camp. It's an aisle that can accommodate four people walking side by side, followed by two rows of twenty camps, and so on. Although this kind of camp layout can greatly reduce the space required for the camp, and make the management and patrol of the camp easier, if it is infiltrated by people, then this is simply an excellent opportunity for the enemy.

But perhaps the people who set up the camp have already considered this. Therefore, there are a lot of patrol soldiers in the camp, and almost every patrol route will have at least two teams overlapping at the same time, and each patrol team will appear in the other two. In the sight of the three patrols.

  From this point of view, even if each patrol has only five soldiers, at least more than five hundred people are required to patrol the entire camp. This is not as simple as rigorous, it can be said to be cautious.

  There are no dead ends in this camp.

  If you want to take this camp, there will be no tricks except for the storm.

  And because the layout of the camp is very peculiar, unlike the general layout of the regular camp, it is obviously very unrealistic to judge the number of soldiers in the camp from the camp. In addition, the soldiers in the camp also often carry out some relatively high-intensity long-term training, which causes the soldiers in the camp to not often gather together, so if you want to prepare meals through the logistics staff It is also not easy to judge the number of soldiers in the camp.

  The cold wind blows.

  The period from dawn to rising of ri is the period with the lowest temperature.

  Especially on the wasteland, because there is not enough leeward place to shield the wind, when the cold wind blows, it is the easiest moment to catch the cold.

The soldiers who are in charge of patrolling in the camp are not bad, because there are indeed a lot of braziers placed in the camp, plus they almost never stop, the blood in the body is in a state of active circulation, so it is difficult for the cold to penetrate. Their body.

   But relatively, for several scouts about a few hundred meters away from this camp, this is not so easy.

  The cold wind blows, making them shiver involuntarily.

  It’s just that these people did not complain. They were still watching the camp intently, trying to find out what could be used.

I don’t know how long it took. Finally, a young scout got up slightly, then wiped his face, wiped the moisture from his face, and spit fiercely: "Damn, I sometimes really doubt it. These guys are still not humans, and they can repeat the same routine all night without stopping."

   Hearing the voice of his companion, the face of an older scout next to him was also a little low.

  They have been in this territory for almost a month, and then they discovered the camp four days ago, and then naturally they followed the order to monitor and investigate the camp. But in the past four days, their only gain is that they discovered that two teams with a relatively large number and scale left the camp three days ago. They don’t know where to go for training, but this is naturally not a piece of information. Because they don't know the size of the soldiers in this camp.

  In the next few days, following their surveillance, the military literacy of the soldiers in this camp was even more shocked.

  There are about four soldiers in charge of patrolling the camp, each of which is responsible for six hours, and conducts a comprehensive patrol of the entire camp without blind spots. During these six hours, these soldiers strictly followed the patrol routes and guard positions set by their superiors. No one would be lazy, or even take a nap. This is enough to prove that the camp is in good condition. The soldiers are definitely a jing sharp division.

  Even if they are experienced personnel who specialize in investigating, they have been lying still and monitored for three days, but they are already a little uncomfortable and have to get up and move a little bit.

However, their movements are not large, mainly because the location is not far from the camp. If the movements are too large, they will inevitably be found. After all, the sky has been slightly white now, for some sight-seeing eyes. As far as hands are concerned, it is still easy to find.

   At this moment, behind these scouts, there was an extremely small sound suddenly.

  This voice is obviously someone who is walking crept forward.

  The three scouts changed their faces, suddenly lifted their legs and pulled out the short blades from their boots, the next moment they would stand up and fight back.

   "It's me." A low and majestic voice sounded.

  This made the three scouts startled slightly before realizing who the person was.

   "Master Alfred." The older scout in the middle said immediately.

  Alfred nodded slightly, and then said, "Anything to find?"

"My lord, the patrols of the enemy camp are very tight, there are no dead spots at all, and they have processed the surrounding terrain when they set up camp. The 300 meters around the camp is completely empty, with a clear view, and it is impossible to approach it in secret. "The older scout said, "Besides, the only information we can get at the moment is that the opponent's size is about 10,000 or more, and it is an infantry corps, because there is no stable in the camp. "

Following the report of the scout, Alfred also glanced at the terrain not far ahead. Indeed, as the scout said, the other party also processed and rectified the surrounding terrain while camping. All weeds that might obstruct the view were removed, and the land was also compacted to prevent the enemy from approaching the camp by digging.

  This is a mountain army with extremely rich combat experience.

  At this moment, Alfred had a judgment in his heart. In the next moment, Alfred, who had made a series of malicious supplements to Darbion's military system because he was about to go to war with Darbion, immediately knew the origin of this mountain army.

  In the entire southern aristocratic faction of the Darbion Kingdom, there are only three nobles who have formed a mountain army, while there is only one mountain army with a scale of more than 10,000 people with such a sharp level and combat experience.

  The mountain lions from the Howard family.

  The status of the Mountain Lions in the Howard family is just like that of the Tequila Black Guards and the Tequila Cavalry to the Boulder family. However, the only difference is that if the Mountain Lions fight head-on with the Tequila Black Guards, it is 100% sure that the Mountain Lions will be defeated. Even if the number of the Tequila Black Guards is only 1,000, it is enough to easily fight in the frontal battle. Defeat the mountain lion army.

   However, if the war terrain is placed on terrain such as jungles and mountains, the Tequila Black Guards will not survive even a single person with the same number of scales.

  The cause of this is the formation of the army.

  The Howard family is inferior to the Nugus family in all aspects, but they have the confidence to challenge the Bould family, relying on this mountain lion army.

  But no one thought that the Howard family was so willing to send the Mountain Lion Army here secretly, obviously intending to give Sean a surprise.

  And thinking of this, Alfred couldn't help but sigh Sean's amazing intuition.

As early as two and a half months ago, when they returned from the Forest of Gray Shadows, Sean gave up the plan to attack Berbice immediately after meeting with Eli Kate, and then renegotiated the combat direction with William. And the plan, and in this discussion, he, Rena, and Clough participated in the meeting all the way. The final decision was to send back Stalin, Aldolf, and Knok led by Chilaf, and completely abandon Chilaf's collar. On this point, Sean and William quickly reached an agreement.

   But the controversy that followed was completely different.

William advocated the unchangeable response to the ever-changing, while secretly hiding the hole card of the gray shadow black market, strengthening the military defenses of the three territories of Dayi, Yedby, and Panda, and centralized deployment of forces; and However, Sean is opposed and insists on making the best move. The first step is to directly invade the Suoan leader and start the national war first. Even if it is at a disadvantage in the war public opinion, he will definitely take the lead over the Kingdom of Darbion. Start the war.

  This kind of controversy lasted for a full week, and it was not until after receiving an order from Thain to see him that William changed his normal and chose to support Shaun.

  Alfred happened to be present at that meeting, so he knew what the news was that Thain had brought.

  The Nugus family completely bypassed the intelligence network woven from the Void Realm, and had a secret meeting with Thain. And the content of this secret meeting is that they will help Thain regain the Tin Chiin collar and become the new Hasting family head, and the only thing he needs to do is to assist the Nugus family to carry out the Da Yi collar. Infiltration of troops, he secretly replaced all his 5,000 soldiers with soldiers from the Kingdom of Darbion, and tried to find excuses to increase troops. At this point, the southern noble faction of the Kingdom of Darbion would give him full support.

  Of course, if the war breaks out afterwards, Thain and his army will also become the cards of the Nugus family.

  Although no one knows why Thain reported this to Sean and William, it also made William finally understand that time is not on their side. Under such circumstances, William finally agreed to Sean’s extremely adventurous plan-before the southern nobles of the Kingdom of Darbion reacted to it, they would capture the Soan collar, and then interact with the Mordege collar that Asuna controlled. Form a strategic situation that echoes each other.

  As long as this plan succeeds, then the three territories of Yadby, Day, and Tinki will have a way out.

And the reason why this plan is said to be an adventure is because they have received news that the Boulder family’s agave black guards and agave cavalry have left the agave collar and began to move towards the surrounding territory of the Mordge collar. reinforce.

  This also means that the Boulder family has officially joined the war.

  The national war has already begun.

So now whoever initiates the national war first can gain the advantage in the early stage of the war. Although this advantage is very weak, it is an opportunity that cannot be given up to Sean and others. After all, their strength can't match the whole. The southern aristocracy of the Kingdom of Bion is on the same level.

  And, most importantly, Asuna has entered the palace.

  Recalling the strategic plan made by Sean and William in his mind, Alfred said in a deep voice, "Is there no way to penetrate?"

"No way, I can only attack!" The middle-aged scout didn't know the situation, but he quickly replied, "Currently, there are not many troops in the camp. Their large forces are currently training in the field. Preliminary estimates are The strength of the camp is about 3,000."

   "I see." Alfred nodded slightly, "Send a signal, this battle...we'll start the fight first."

   "Yes!" The scout was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded with excitement.

Then.

  A flare slowly rises into the sky.
