Lord of War

  Time is slightly forwarded for a while.

  About half an hour before the start of the Nugus Manor raid, an order from Nugus Manor also happened to be transmitted to a forward base in Berbice through magic communication. Then twenty minutes later, a force of about three thousand people set off from this forward base secretly, marching towards the Northern Grey Shadow Forest, and then officially a few minutes before the launch of the Nugus Manor raid. Enter the Forest of Gray Shadows.

  There is wind blowing.

  There is a trace of moisture in the wind that is far more humid than other times, and it is vaguely incomparable.

The Forest of Grey Shadows is a relatively vast forest in the southern part of the Darbyang Kingdom. The richness of its materials is also the most important economic benefit in the southern part. Basically, it can be said that the existence of this forest is the support of the forest. The economic pillars of the two territories, Bisling and Yedby. It’s just that for some reasons, this territory has not been completely mastered by the lords of the two territories. Therefore, due to certain psychological factors, both sides have acquiesced to the stop of the third party. The reason why No Mori completely stood firm.

  So in terms of forest area alone, it is not impossible to completely cover up the traces of three thousand people.

  After all, these people are just passing through the Forest of Gray Shadows, and they don't want to stay here.

   Soon, the figure of the last soldier disappeared at the edge of the forest.

  This 3,000-person army is composed of a 30-person wizard regiment and a 3,000-person infantry regiment.

The equipment specifications used by the infantry regiment proved that this must be a jingbing unit created by a certain noble Jingxin: all the soldiers are in a light blue armor, with a long sword hanging on the waist, and a round shield on the back. . These equipments are not brand new, and there are traces of the aftermath of the war. Every soldier has a murderous air on his face, and he acts as a scout for the soldiers who wandered outside the large army. It is also a face of jing and vigilance, and his attention is highly concentrated.

  Grey Shadow Forest, now it is actually equivalent to falling into the hands of the Kingdom of Dabian.

Hela scattered dozens of nails in the area facing the Pandan collar in this forest, so as long as there is any trouble on Sean’s side, both Yadby collar and Berbish collar will be in the first place. Receive the message immediately.

  So in a certain state, this **** corps that entered the Grey Shadow Forest is actually okay even if it does not send scouts around to jingjie. However, the commander of this corps did not do this. Instead, he chose to continue jingling and contact the soldiers of this corps with the combat traces. From this, he could infer that the actual combat effectiveness of this corps was definitely not low. At the very least, it should be a quasi-fourth level army.

  Such an army, with the assistance of a mage regiment, can often explode more combat power than a general Tier 4 army. More importantly, the equipment used by this army also makes them very suitable for fighting in terrain like the forest, which also has an extremely amazing bonus to their combat effectiveness.

   across the forest of gray shadows. Even if it is the rhythm of the rapid march, at least it takes about two days.

  However, considering the physical fitness of the wizards in the wizard group. Under normal circumstances, if it can travel through the entire Grey Shadow Forest to reach the frontline battlefield of Yadby's collar within four days. This is considered a good result. As the temporary commander-in-chief of this team, the middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes obviously had a bigger worry: when the battle mobilization order was issued, the confidential information he received included the copy of William Yale’s The report and related data of breaking through the three lines of defense in Yadeby in just three days, as well as the most important picture of the current situation in Yadeby.

  From the map, he can easily analyze that if the army that invaded Yedby continues to advance to the front line of the battlefield, then they will be at most three days later and the main force stationed in Yedby will engage in battle. Although he already knew that the order from the Southern Theater Command was to shrink the entire line of defense in the Yedby. However, if there is a battle with the main force at this time, they will be attacked by the enemy immediately after crossing the Grey Shadow Forest.

  The commander named Weber didn’t think that with their 3,000 troops and 30 magicians, they could become a surprise attack on the enemy’s rear.

  The best and most brilliant result. It is that they share part of the pressure for the troops on the front line, so that the defensive line that is about to collapse can be temporarily stabilized, or to maintain a balance of power. Of course, as a surprise attack, they, including the 30 mages, may not be able to be left. It is a lucky thing to be able to leave a whole body.

  If it is really for this strategic goal, then they will not be dispatched, but several other troops.

  So about half an hour after entering the Forest of Gray Shadows, Weber issued the first order: the whole army marched for six hours.

  A seasoned commander will not leave a troop in a state of rapid marching for a long time, because it will make a troop’s combat effectiveness drop, especially when encountering a sudden encounter, which will make the situation worse.

  The six-hour rush march without any accidents, which made Weber's heavy mood slightly relaxed.

  After the six-hour rapid march, Weber ordered a one-hour rest, followed by a four-hour normal march.

  For soldiers, this way of marching is not unfamiliar, especially in wartime. But for the 30 wizards, this method made them complain. Many wizards even started to get angry because of this. But in this special situation, Webber could not say anything. It was impossible to take care of these three. Ten mages delayed the rhythm of the entire army, and eventually led to the deterioration of the battlefield situation in Yadby?

  So after Webber moved out of Hela's name, although these mages were still dissatisfied, they did not continue to say anything in the end.

In fact, if it were not for these wizards, Weber would never rest here for an hour. Therefore, after serving in the army for so many years, he knew very well that if the rest time is too long, the sequelae of physical fatigue after the rapid march will be more severe. Great, all signs indicate that this pair's combat effectiveness has dropped even more. Fortunately, the three thousand people who followed him this time were all veterans. He survived the countless battlefields of blood and fire, so he doesn't need to worry about his own control and adjustment.

  The only thing he needs to worry about is the thirty mages.

  After a short break, the unit went on the road again. After four hours of normal marching, the unit once again ushered in a short break. This time the break was shortened to half an hour. Although the grievances of the mages were obviously greater, Webber was too lazy to say anything. When the half-hour break was over, Webber immediately ordered the whole army to continue. This time they will go on a rapid march for two and a half hours.

  After this troop went through a march for twelve and a half hours, they finally stopped.

  Only this day, they have already completed one-third of the distance of the Forest of Gray Shadows.

  Although Grey Shadow Forest has almost no sunlight due to the tall canopy, for Webber, who has a more sensitive sense of time, he can still easily tell that the outside world should also be night.

  So camp and rest. This is what they need to do at this time.

  But soon, all the wizards ushered in a new bad news: they only have six hours of rest.

  But this time the thirty mages didn’t even have the strength to complain. They simply ate some food and fell asleep. Soon there was a slight snoring sound. Today’s marching rhythm is really too hard for the wizards from the Magician Association. After all, the long-term pampering and treatment has made them forget the hard work of learning magic. Although they still maintain the ability to fight, they are basically because I am more accustomed to the team battle mode of the wizard group, and gradually forgot his own way of fighting.

  Hard to wait until these masters are noisy and noisy. Webber finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

"My lord, I found something is wrong in the forest." But before Webber took out the dried meat from the food bag he was carrying, a man he had arranged to be a scout ran over. "The situation is quiet tonight. It's strange."

   "What do you mean?" Weber's **** became a little nervous.

"Within a range of hundreds of meters nearby. There is no trace of any beasts." The scout said in a deep voice, "Moreover, I also found a lot of people. Judging from the weight of the pace, it should be the demon hunters who are moving. It's just that. ..."

"It's just what?" Weber was a little puzzled. "The general level of monsters in the Grey Shadow Forest is not high. For ordinary people, the threat is really not low, but once a large-scale army enters, these low-level monsters will not come. Trouble with us. Especially since we are still an army, as long as we don't provoke the **** demons on the Huahai side, even the big lizard will not run out in this forest."

"My lord, the problem with the Beast may be easy to explain, but... the demon hunters in the Gray Shadow Forest almost never act after nightfall." This scout is obviously very aware of the situation in the Gray Shadow Forest. "And... According to observations, we found that the demon hunters who are still active are almost all high-level demon hunters. They look like they are purging this area. According to normal conditions, these demon hunters If a person finds that our regular army has entered, it should be the first choice to avoid it, even hunting will not be in such a close range to us."

   "Have a Yin plan?"

  "The subordinates are not sure." The scout hurriedly lowered his head.

  He is just a scout. He is only responsible for reporting the situation and problems he found. As for other judgments, it is not his responsibility.

  Next, there was a long period of silence.

  But in any case, as the temporary commander-in-chief of this force, Weber must also be responsible for the situation of the entire team. Therefore, he quickly increased the number of night watchmen, and its scale more than doubled. Although this would affect the future combat effectiveness of the unit, and even cause his combat plan to be implicated, he was also very clear. The value of thirty wizards is much higher than their corps, so he dare not take risks.

  Among the combat orders he received, he must give priority to ensuring the safety of the wizards at the first time.

   To put it ugly, the three thousand of them are actually not much difference, that is, they are slightly more advanced cannon fodder.

  On a night when Webber was worried, the imaginary raid, yin plot, or even melee did not appear, which made Webber's mood a little better. But what followed was a sense of helpless emptiness. Because of the sudden increase in the scale of the night vigil last night, the combat effectiveness of the entire army was reduced by at least 20%. This is still his conservative estimate, so the plan to reproduce yesterday's marching rhythm was originally planned today, but it is naturally impossible to implement it.

Originally, according to Weber’s plan, they would traverse the entire Grey Shadow Forest in three days, and then get a ten-hour adequate rest period on the third night. They appeared at noon on the fourth day. On the flank of the main force of Darbion led by Yedby, if everything develops according to his assumptions, then at this time they can not only play the role of a surprise soldier, but even because of the arrival of the wizard group, they can also carry out a counterattack, which is the worst. Can cause a major loss to the enemy.

but now. He had to revise his battle plan. If he wanted to give the whole army a sufficient rest before leaving the Grey Shadow Forest, then they would appear on the battlefield on the fifth day, and they would enter the battlefield at this point in time. Unless the enemy has not launched an offensive, their appearance is tantamount to a sheep sent into the mouth of a tiger. It has no value except for contributing battlefield merits to the opponent.

   March for a whole day. Weber is constantly thinking about the fastest and most advantageous battle plan. But until the whole army began to rest at night, he still did not come up with a complete plan, which made him feel a little irritable.

   "Business as usual."

  In the end, Weber had no choice but to give such an order.

  The wind is getting bigger.

  The chao dampness in the air is also more obvious, and this time there is still a vague smell.

  For these battle-tested soldiers. They immediately distinguished the smell of blood from the smell, and the smell of blood could be transmitted by the wind, so what kind of killing would have to result in such a result!

  Webber was awakened the first time.

  The scouts sent out also quickly brought a reply: Those high-level demon hunters did not know why, and they carried out another **** killing here in the Grey Shadow Forest. It seems that several tribal-sized wolves were slaughtered, and then a material treatment was carried out on the spot, and the **** smell was emitted from these corpses.

  Hearing such a reply, Webber frowned.

  As we all know, the demon hunter almost never cooperates, even if there is that, it must be guaranteed. Being able to slaughter several tribal-sized wolves in one fell swoop is not something that a few demon hunters can do, and according to the report of the scouts, this is also proved. A total of more than fifty high-level demon hunters participated. In this operation, there seemed to be someone injured, but the scouts did not dare to get too close, mainly because they were afraid of causing misunderstandings.

  For Gray Shadow Forest, only when the strength reaches the upper silver stage can it be called a high-level demon hunter.

  The purpose of gathering more than fifty high-level demon hunters is by no means simple.

  Webber immediately thought of the overlord in the Forest of Gray Shadows: Thunder and Fire Two-headed Lizard.

  Only this behemoth is worthy of the cooperation of more than fifty demon hunters, and there must be someone who has paid a big price at this time and wants to purchase a certain part of the material of this behemoth. And the price is even enough to make these demon hunters temporarily give up their prejudice and hostility and choose to cooperate.

   Thinking of this, Webber's heart relaxed slightly. He did not order the strengthening of the vigil, but did not revoke the existing vigil scale.

  The entire temporary camp has not changed at all, just like a calm lake, without any ripples.

  It’s just that Webber didn’t know that all the changes in the camp had already fallen into the eyes of a person.

This man who stood calmly on a treetop not far from Webber’s camp by virtue of the dark environment of the Forest of Grey Shadows and the shelter of the leaves was not someone else, it was Sean who trusted and relied on most. People.

  William Yale.

  His originally calm face now has a slight smile, and the drunken red and the gently raised corners of the mouth that appear on his face are particularly charming and charming in the darkness.

  It's just a pity that no one can see William's appearance now.

"This commander is very cautious. He is of the same type as Stalin. An enemy like this is difficult to defeat with any surprise tactics on the frontal battlefield, because their steadiness and caution force any enemy who wants to defeat them must be upright. Attack from the front." William's voice revealed a little excitement, "This is why the last time Stalin was garrisoned by Berbice, he was able to destroy an enemy several times more than him. He wanted to destroy any of them. It is absolutely impossible for the troops under the command of the commander of China to not pay a heavy price."

   "The lord, you mean... to catch him alive?" Standing behind William was Bannock.

  The barrier Paladin is now following William like the shadow of William. Although his strength has not broken through the golden realm, Sean doesn't mind investing a lot of materials in him. This allows him to at least face the next golden powerhouse and will not be without counterattack.

  There is this former veteran demon hunter who is following William. William doesn’t want to understand the entire Grey Shadow Forest. In fact, after breaking through the three lines of defense led by Yedby a few days ago, William secretly entered the Gray Shadow Forest with a guard in charge of Bannock. Under the understanding, they successfully avoided all the nails Hela arranged in the Forest of Gray Shadows.

So in fact, no matter which unit entered the Gray Shadow Forest, or when they entered, as long as they thought of taking the route of the Gray Shadow Forest into Yadby, it would be equivalent to announcing that they had slammed into it. In the cobweb that William had already woven.

   "No need." William shook his head. "It is enough to have one Stalin, and another person with the same talent and ability as Stalin is not a good thing for us, but a cumbersome and...burden."

  Bannock nodded thoughtfully.

   "Action."

   "Yes." Bannock replied in a deep voice, and then he imitated the sound of a bird beast unique in the Forest of Gray Shadows. The whistle sounded softly.

   waited for a while, and then began to hear one after another.

  If you listen carefully. You can find that the sound of these sounds happened to surround the entire camp.

  But it's a pity. Everyone, including Weber, did not realize this at all.

  Until, when the first sharp arrow broke through the air and nailed a magician to the ground, the entire camp boiled like boiling water.

   But for the exhausted magicians, this raid came too fast. The arrows that had been aimed at them were densely covered like raindrops. In this wave of arrows, more than a dozen magicians were killed before they could react at all, and the number of soldiers who sacrificed to protect these magicians was even greater, but even so. There are still nearly ten magicians suffering various injuries.

  The only surviving magician, there are fewer than five people!

  Wake up, Webber saw this scene in front of him, he only felt a burst of blood pouring into his brain, which made him almost fainted when his eyes went dark.

  The most important wizard group, because of exhaustion and a little negligence, it directly damaged 25 people in a wave of arrows!

  Why does the Grey Shadow Forest have an archer?

  But this question just surfaced in his mind, and he immediately found the answer.

  Regular archers are absolutely unable to play their due combat power in places like Gray Shadow Forest, so there is only one type of people who can produce such quasi arrows in Gray Shadow Forest, those high-level demon hunters!

  Why do these demon hunters dare to attack them! ?

  Webber looked incredible.

  In his impression, no matter how arrogant and arrogant the demon hunter was, he never dared to conflict with any army. After all, with the military formation and cooperation of the regular army, the lone ranger-like demon hunter would not have any advantage at all, and in the end, waiting for them would inevitably be death.

It is also out of this consideration that since last night, although he has heard of the large-scale actions of high-level demon hunters, Webber’s own soldiers, or the superiority of the soldiers, did not allow him to remove these. The demon hunter really took it seriously. In his opinion, increasing the number of night watchmen and the range of jing ring is enough to value those demon hunters, and even this is still faintly revealing a message that there are regular troops nearby.

  If those demon hunters are smart enough, they will definitely choose to escape.

  But now!

  The arrow rain continues!

  Although these arrows are a little sparse, every arrow that breaks through the air will inevitably have a soldier fall forever, which makes Webber feel a burst of mad anger.

  It’s just that this anger comes quickly and goes quickly.

  After the anger disappeared, Webber ushered in a wave of fear of death.

  Because in his vision, large-scale regular soldiers began to appear.

  These soldiers have completely formed an encirclement, completely besieging them all.

  The soldiers in front of Webber did not play any flags, but just glanced at the equipment and clothing of these soldiers, and Webber already knew the origin of the army.

  Thunder's front.

  The scariest and most powerful army under the female demon from Tonis Fortress!

  At this time, the only thought that still remained in Webber's mind was why this army that scared the entire Kingdom of Darbion appeared here! (To be continued...)

  Ps: What I hate the most is coughing. Once I cough for a long time, every cough will cause severe headaches. ...... This chapter is 6k words, I still don't bother to cut it, because the severe pain that accompanies the cough makes my whole person almost crazy. Everyone, don't forget to vote after reading it. Whether it is a recommendation or a monthly pass, I welcome it! ! Maybe there will be surprises!
