At this time, in the mountains to the north of the front, a group of fast-moving troops was crossing a section of cliffs in full swing.

The cliffs in this section are tall and steep, and the walls are smooth and hard. The only place that can be called a "road" is a cliff plank road that can only accommodate one person walking against the wall. The existence of this section of the plank road is not known to outsiders.

, that’s because this plank road is a new passage that was “built” not long ago using magic, and at the starting point of the plank road, the wolf regiment commander Heft, who also just recovered not long ago, is watching nervously.

The warriors of the wolf group carefully passed the extremely dangerous cliff path.

Since the width of the plank road is not sufficient, and the warriors of the wolf group are all wearing armor and fully armed and moving against the wall, many people almost fell into the 100-meter cliff below because they did not have a good balance. But fortunately, they crossed the plank road.

The warriors of the wolf group have a magic rope hanging on their waists, which is securely connected to the smooth cliff surface. Whenever the warrior is about to fall into the cliff due to imbalance, the rope that does not look very reassuring always appears.

The ability to accurately shrink allows the warriors who fell backward to hit the cliff again and continue moving forward.

This looks very dangerous, because although the warriors of the wolf group are extremely brave and skilled in combat, this does not mean that they are skilled "rock climbers". To put it a little exaggerated, among the warriors of this group of wolf group,

In fact, nearly half of them have a certain degree of fear of heights. Most of the warriors who would not blink when facing enemy fire would be too frightened to walk on this plank road, but everyone also

Instead of timidly choosing to quit, they all braved the plank road.

It's already dark now, and even if there is a subtle light created by magic on the plank road, it can only barely allow the warriors walking on the plank road to see clearly the road less than one meter away in front of them. In addition, everyone's

Due to many factors such as extremely poor balance and unbalanced weight of the equipment, people would fall off the plank road from time to time. Therefore, in the mouths of the wolf group warriors, this plank road was also called the plank road with fear.

"Death Plank Road".

This unlucky name is naturally a nickname that everyone made privately, but in fact, although many people unfortunately fell off the plank road during this period, under the protection of certain special safety measures, there have been no actual deaths or injuries here so far.

.

Every wolf group warrior who walks on the plank road will be automatically tied to the body by a magic rope emerging from the cliff at .asxs. Although this rope does not look strong, it is real

He forcefully pulled all the warriors who fell off the cliff back. It was based on this guarantee that the warriors dared to try and move quickly on the plank road, even though everyone was open-minded.

His arms were moving against the cliff, but relatively speaking, the speed of movement was not much slower than normal marching.

At the same time, everyone is also curious about how this very unreasonable thin string is tied to themselves through the solid cliff wall, and when they are walking, the end of the string will keep a constant speed with themselves through the cliff wall.

Move, but although everyone is very curious, no one dares to touch this rope at will. After all, this magic rope has his own life tied to it, so everyone is very superstitious when they don't know much about magic.

Think of it as some kind of existence endowed with divinity. This does not mean that the warriors of the wolf group lack knowledge and are therefore stupid. In short, this kind of magical magic can not be said to be a warrior of the wolf group, even a wolf that prides itself on being well-informed.

Regiment commander Heft was amazed. After all, although there are magic-related places like Ravensburg in the country, magic is not very popular in the entire Principality of Michael, so everyone suddenly saw this kind of thing.

When you hear about magic that you have never heard of, it is inevitable that you will think of some ethereal concepts.

Heft stood in the open space near the starting point of the plank road and watched the warriors slowly pass through the plank road one by one. This is not to say that he did not dare to take the lead, but that he could not follow this mission, so he just

Being able to stay here to see off the warriors of the Wolf Regiment who have a special mission. After all, the commander has just recovered from his injuries. Currently, even walking requires a tomahawk that acts as a crutch to maintain his body balance, so it is even more important.

Not to mention going to the battlefield to command operations.

Fortunately, the current temporary commander of the Wolf Regiment, Caroline McGrath, is also a capable person. Although she temporarily commanded the Wolf Regiment during her coma and caused the fall of the Stone Castle Barracks, to be honest

, so far the command level has not blamed her for the fall of the Stone Castle Barracks. After all, even Heft himself did not think that he could successfully block the enemy's attack and evacuate all the troops in such a short period of time.

Wounded. Although the stone castle fell, at least the wolf regiment was not destroyed. The wounded who were evacuated were able to set foot on the battlefield again after receiving later treatment, and Heft himself did not know this.

I feel like I can do much better than Caroline.

In addition, not long ago, she led dozens of people to attack the enemy's rear material camp at night, forcing the powerful enemy to retreat overnight. Therefore, even Adrian recognized her ability, and she also attacked the enemy's rear supply camp two days ago.

He was legitimately awarded the position of Captain Wolf Head and was also granted the title of Honorary Baronet.

This secret operation was still carried out by her newly formed Wolf Regiment Hundreds. Although Heft had already understood the general outline of the operation plan in previous meetings, it did not mean that he would agree that the risk was extremely high or even dangerous.

The battle plan was called a suicide attack. However, due to his injury, he could not immediately command the battle group, so Heft's objection was not adopted by Adrian. Instead, the young and energetic Caroline took over the dangerous task in his place.

Order.

There are only 580 people under Caroline's command. This is the only elite warrior left in the current wolf regiment. Most of the remaining warriors are unable to return to the battlefield in a short time due to injuries, including Heft himself.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that these people represent the last hope of the wolf group. The task of these more than 500 warriors is to cross the steep northern mountains under the leadership of Caroline and directly bypass the rebel stronghold.

Meng Fortress, and then when necessary, merge with the Tiger Regiment in the southwest of the plain and form a pincer attack on the enemy.

Although Heft estimated that the combined number of the two regiments would not exceed 2,000, after all, although the enemy was more numerous, their main force was concentrated on the front where the firefight was the most intense, so the combat power at the rear of the enemy's position was naturally unable to compete with them.

Compared with the front line, and the only thing that can really threaten the warriors of the wolf regiment in the opponent's army is the hundred or ten artillery pieces. If the two sides really want to rush into battle, those muskets may not be able to hurt the warriors of the wolf regiment who have experienced the change of equipment.

Based on previous tests on the guns and cannons captured from the enemy, Adrian ordered the craftsmen in Maryburg to rush to make a batch for the Wolf Regiment warriors before the enemy launched the siege.

New protective gear. Although this batch of protective gear is not the Caldera steel protective gear made by the dwarves but a pile of chain mail linings made of materials, this lining has been specially processed by the alchemists.

It has the ability to protect the impact of musket projectiles to a certain extent. Although it is not completely able to block the impact of musket projectiles, it can at least ensure that the wearer will not be penetrated by projectiles at a certain distance. After all, compared with the impact of bruising

In terms of injuries, internal bleeding caused by penetrating injuries is the most significant lethal effect of musket weapons.

Defensive artillery is naturally still unrealistic for now, but at least these chainmail linings also give the warriors an extra layer of safety protection. After all, after they pass through this temporarily created plank road, it is estimated that they will not be able to use it for a whole day.

There will be no supplies or support inside, and the road factors on the surprise attack route mean that they will not carry too many supplies. Even the rations are only half a day's worth of bacon jerky. If you want to get

In order to have sufficient supplies, the Camon Fortress must be captured before tomorrow night, so the extra security protection can be regarded as giving this operation an extra chance of success.

There was a "click" sound, and Heft nervously looked up at the plank road in front of him again. It was the movement caused by the unlucky guy losing his balance and almost falling off the cliff. However, although the sound of the metal object was very harsh, the sound was still harsh.

The brave warrior of the wolf group did not open his mouth to grunt the whole time. He simply lost his balance and fell, then was pulled up by the rope, and then continued to move forward silently.

After seeing another warrior successfully rescued, Heft breathed a sigh of relief again, and then he turned to look at the female magician next to him who was casting magic.

This unknown magician was temporarily recommended by the great alchemist Sinclair Alberon. Heft only knew that her name was Thea Kruger. As for other things, Heft

Heft doesn't know anything about it. After all, she is a magician with unknown origins, and she is only the caster who created this plank road and maintained a lot of magic ropes, so Heft will inevitably be wary of it. Heft

The biggest reason why he chose to stand next to this little magician girl was actually for this reason, so he forcibly brought a tomahawk that he used as a crutch when he came to see her off this time, and was prepared to prevent this.

Will a magician who doesn't know the details change his mind midway and cause the warriors of the wolf group to be ruined here?

But for now, this magician girl is still trying her best to maintain the operation of magic, and so far the warriors who have fallen off the cliff have been rescued without any danger, and Heft also knows this

Although the magic looks easy, it is definitely not that easy to use. After all, let’s not talk about how she will pull out a plank road from the cliff. The number of people walking on the plank road at a time is about 100.

For her to maintain the ropes on 100 people at the same time, this task is somewhat beyond Heft's cognition. For example, even if it is replaced with ordinary ropes, even Heft himself is not confident that he can keep track of them at the same time.

One hundred people, so let alone magic, which is quite a brain-consuming ability.

Heft quietly turned his head and glanced at Thea. At this moment, she was holding her magic staff with both hands and breathing heavily. After all, the light released by the staff in her hand was very strong, so even in the

In the dark night, Heft could clearly see how embarrassed Thea was as a spell caster.

She seemed very tired. Her chaotic breathing rhythm and clothes soaked with sweat almost all over her body were enough to show that this magic seemed to be far more physically demanding than Heft had imagined. Thea looked like she had just been surrounded by

Mary Castle had been running for more than ten laps, and Heft would not have doubted when her legs, which were beginning to tremble slightly, were weak and she fell down, but even so, Heft did not dare to disturb her.

, because he was worried that someone would inadvertently disturb the other party's spellcasting, causing the magic to be interrupted and then kill the wolf group warriors on the plank road, and Heft was even more worried about whether this little girl, who did not look strong, would

He fainted due to lack of energy.

Fortunately, most of the wolf group has passed by now, and centurion Caroline is the first person to pass, so even if the little girl suddenly interrupts the magic, Heft feels that this will not cause any harm to the wolf group.

It has a fatal impact. Although this idea is despicable and irresponsible, after all, the other party is a stranger who appears out of nowhere, let alone Heft himself, even the great alchemist Alberon who serves as the recommender

They didn't expressly say that they could completely trust her, and when the senior management acquiesced in letting him come to see the warrior off, it was inevitable that they needed to monitor this little girl.

The last batch of wolf warriors stepped onto the plank road carrying their tomahawks. For this reason, Heft finally tried to relax his hand holding the tomahawk a little. At the same time, Heft also felt a little relieved.

Breathed a sigh of relief.

Heft had been very wary of him since he started building the plank road as a little girl, because the narrow plank road looked too dangerous, but Thea firmly stated that the cliff wall of this section was not as strong as it appeared.

If the rock structure is excessively distorted, it is likely to cause the cliff to collapse and completely destroy the way to the other side of the cliff. After all, when it comes to combat, Heft does not dare to know everything, but at least he can talk about it, but for

As for geography, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only hold his battle ax with all his strength and be on high alert for the injured little girl who was holding the life of the wolf group warrior.

Heft watched as the last wolf warrior jumped off the plank road with unsteady legs and reached the safe area on the opposite side. Then Caroline, who was standing on the opposite side, also waved a torch to signal to herself that everything was going well. Heft

Only then did Ford dare to take a few deep breaths, and just when he ordered his entourage to use torches to reply to Caroline, suddenly the bright light source next to him disappeared, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground.

Heft looked back, and sure enough, it was the little magician girl named Gia who collapsed on the ground. Heft quickly sent the battle ax and limped over to pull her up.

At the same time, Thea, who was a little unconscious, squinted her eyes and muttered to Heft: "I succeeded, right?"

"Ah, yes, little girl." Heft supported the weak Thea and said with a smile: "581 people, not a single one was left. No one lost their lives, it was just a few unlucky ones.

I just accidentally dropped my weapon..."

"I'm sorry, old sir." Thea whispered feebly: "This magic... is also my first time to use it... but I'm not good at learning, so I can only maintain this level of calculation... I'm sorry...

terribly sorry……"

Heft suddenly discovered that Thea had fainted, but she was still mumbling words of apology. Heft couldn't understand why this little girl was so apologetic. It was supposed that she could suddenly appear and proactively recommend him to come over.

Help is already very rare, especially after successfully completing the commission, Heft's wariness has been relaxed to the minimum, but the apology that the other party still keeps mumbling still makes Heft feel very concerned.

.

Heft suddenly seemed to think that this little girl should have some background, and she was also involved with him...or maybe he had something to do with it. Otherwise, why would she keep apologizing so much? In short, the task had been completed, and Heft also gave the order.

All the followers quickly cleaned up the scene and left the place, because he felt that it was necessary to go back and talk to Alberon about the little magician girl. But before leaving the scene, Heft turned to look at Black

Opposite Qiqi, Caroline had already led the warriors of the wolf group away, and Heft could only sigh a little at the bright moonlight in the sky, "I hope you can all come back safe and sound." Then he said

He led everyone back down the mountain quickly along the mountain road they came from.

At the same time, in the conference room of Fortress Maria, Adrian was talking alone with the great alchemist Alberon.
To be continued...
