Four hundred and twentieth chapters assembly
…………
In the province of Lucesen to the north of Tignes, a day and a half away from the starting point of the mountain path between Codor and Lucesen, a huge team that stretches for nearly half a mile quickly walks on the road from the province of Lucesen to the western mountains.
There are farmlands on both sides of the road, and a green scene. The waist-deep wheat sways left and right under the afternoon breeze mixed with a hot air, making a "hissing" sound...
Although Lucesen joined Flander's side, Lucesen was spared from war due to the tall and majestic mountains between the east and west. Moreover, Lucesen's way of joining the war was to symbolically send two hundred light armored infantry to the Besanson court, and provide a large amount of money and various food supplies as a contribution to the loyalty to the new king Flander.
At this time, the entire province of Lucesen was full of fertile fertile fields. The Wells Legion's team drove northward, passing through village manors of all sizes. The villagers hurriedly hid, or poked their heads out of their windows and looked around. They thought, I was afraid that there would be war again...
"The team behind quickly follow us, wait until the birch forest in front, everyone will have a rest." Bass, who was standing on the middle of the team, ordered the back team, while using his right hand to wipe the beads of sweat that were the size of beans that kept coming out of his forehead.
In August, the plains of Luces-Nehl Province, the sun was shining brightly at noon and the air was dull. The soldiers of the Wells Legion marched quickly in armor and were extremely hot, and the lining had been wet with sweat from the outflow. Due to the order of the sub-subsidiary commander Bass, no one dared to stop and fight during the march. Everyone was eager to follow the team and strive to arrive at Fort Marsey as soon as possible.
"Sir, why do you say we are rushing so hard for you? My old legs are almost gone. Ouch..."
"You boy knows that you are tired, but you brothers are walking forward against the sun. Come on quickly. If you are seen by Chief Bass, you will suffer. You will be lazy during training and you will know that you are suffering."
Wall, the captain of the Tinets County Soldier Company, who was riding a horse in the middle of the team, scolded Andrei, who was crying.
Andrey laughed twice, hurriedly followed, and respectfully handed Wall the water bag around his waist.
"Sir, do you think we can beat the bastards in Kodor? I heard that they have a team of thousands of people. Brothers have not experienced any war for a long time, I'm afraid this time it will be a good fortune~"
"You bastard, you dare to say such words. To disrupt the morale of the army before the war, be careful of your head." Wall said in a suppressed voice, swinging the whip towards Andre's head.
"Ouch!" Andrey whispered and looked around, for fear that someone would hear what he said just now.
Seeing this, Wall whispered to Andre, "What are you afraid of? I heard that Kodor's elite soldiers had been sent to the north long ago, and all they left were some unstoppable third-rate guys. Moreover, the Kodors hadn't fought for a long time, so I'm afraid their Lili sword would have rusted in the scabbard."
"Hahaha..." Andre secretly rejoiced.
"What's more, we are still training on weekdays. Although we are not as good as the veterans of the Wells Legion, we still have no problem dealing with a few Kodor bastards. It's like cutting melons and vegetables." Wall looked proud and stared ahead.
"It's still the boss who has a vision, I rely on you for my life." Andrei flattered.
"Hahaha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say."
"What are you two yelling there? Why don't you keep up quickly?" Bass, who was riding a horse, shouted loudly at the two of them.
The two stopped talking and quickly followed the marching team.
…………
In the birch forest at the foot of the mountain in the west of Thorne, the soldiers of the Wells Legion who had marched at high intensity for a whole day were already exhausted and squeezed by the stream and drank the stream water, and started to chew on the hard bread. Some simply took this time to lie on the stones by the stream and ate it a few bites when marching.
On a huge rock upstream of the stream, Baron Antayas tore a large piece of bread and handed it to the sub-group leader Bass. Bass took the bread and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing the bread while sending the water bag to his mouth. Antayas looked at the mighty team.
"Bas," Antaas said, "Look at our team, there are at least seven hundred people." Bass nodded in agreement.
"We have a large number of people, well-equipped, and the morale of the soldiers is high. We will definitely win against the bastards of Kodor." Baron Antayas said excitedly.
As a low-level noble who urgently needs military merit, he is extremely looking forward to this decisive battle with the Kodors. If he can make meritorious on the battlefield and Yat's full recommendation, it will be a matter of time before his baron title is replaced by the viscount. So when he received a secret letter from Shangu, he summoned the army within half a day, brought his own food and supplies to Tignets, for fear of missing this rare opportunity.
"Hehe," Bass smiled while using his hands to clean the bread crumbs around his mouth, "Mr. Antayas, I'm going to tell you, in addition to our group, the Longxia Legion will also send people to help. With the hundreds of people from Sapu, it would be strange if the Kodors do not run away with their tails."
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"It's still Lord Yat's ability, even Longxia's army has been dispatched." Antayas did not forget to flatter him in front of Yat's confidant.
"The Lord said in a secret letter that whether the Kodors can be defeated in this battle depends entirely on whether the troops that reinforce the Fort Marsi can arrive in time. So we cannot be careless, we must arrive within the time agreed upon by the Lord, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Bass said with a serious expression.
"Yes." Antayas nodded and said.
"All people pay attention and keep moving forward!"
After the soldiers were rested, Bass ordered the departure.
…………
At night, people jumped in the territory of Count Longxia. After receiving a secret order from the Besanson Palace, the various troops prepared for war. Armor, weapons, food, supplies and other supplies had been distributed to the soldiers one after another.
As the leader of Longxia, when Flander headed north to start the Battle of Successor, Leond was appointed commander of the army left by Longxia, with eight hundred soldiers under his command.
The last time I received a mission was to raid the Kodor border, and the Wells Legion raided Kodor's border city to attack Kodor's border city, in order to attract the attention of the enemy and reduce the pressure of the Verdi Army. After the mission was completed, 100 Longxia soldiers remained in the border area. On this expedition, fifty people stayed behind the Longxia leader, and the remaining six hundred people went out. The mission was to gather north near Fort Marsey, join forces with the Wells Legion to resist the Kodor army's siege on Fort Marsey.
After arranging the territory defense, Leond sat alone under the tree in the yard outside the lord's hall, wiping his broad sword. This sword was given to him by the new king Flander. He had never seen blood since the sword followed him. The sword edge scattered dazzling white light under the moonlight, illuminating Leond's murderous eyes. Only those who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years and living a life of licking blood at the edge of the knife will have such eyes, like an eagle, sharp and ruthless.
Longxia leaders were fierce and martial. Almost all adult men would join the Longxia army and go out to fight. After the baptism of war, the soldiers of the Longxia army were disciplined and good at fighting. They were meaningless to be strong enemies. They were like Deadpools, which made the troops fighting with them frightened. This is why the Kodors heard that the Longxia army appeared in the border areas and immediately mobilized heavy troops from all over the country to defend themselves as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Sir Leond, the legion has been all assembled."
The messenger pulled Leander's thoughts back. Leander looked at the glittering broadsword and skillfully inserted the broadsword into the scabbard. He shook the dust on his body.
“Go off now!”
"yes!"
…………
"I don't know if the Longxia Legion set out."
"Sir Phoenix, don't worry, Lord Yat must have made arrangements." The personal guard standing behind him said to Phoenix who was looking at the west side on the Stone Fort wall.
"Yes, my brother-in-law is good at planning and careful in everything, so he must have made arrangements long ago."
"Yes." The guard nodded and replied.
Since Sapsie had a stone fort, you could immediately enter the province of Codor by passing through the valley, which was much shorter than the journey from the valley to the Fort Marsi. So Phoenix ordered the army in the valley to set off two days before leaving.
After several days of busyness, Phoenix had prepared enough food and supplies for the army to go to war, including his own 100 private soldiers and a team of 250 young and strong peasant soldiers in the valley, a total of 350 people. The remaining 50 private soldiers were stationed in Sapu Fort to prevent the Kodors from sneak attacking. The leader was a young knight under Phoenix.
Phoenix was extremely excited about this battle. Firstly, it was because he led a team of more than 300 people to fight for the first time. The feeling was not comparable to leading dozens of private soldiers into the mountains to suppress bandits. This time, he could not only test his ability to lead a large army to fight, but also a rare opportunity to fight with the Longxia Legion. Phoenix has admired the Longxia Legion for a long time, but he heard that they were extremely brave and good at fighting, but he had never dealt with them. He had to have a good experience this time.
Secondly, I shoulder the honor and responsibility of the family. Only through this decisive battle with the Kodors can I become famous and win the greatest rights and interests for the family. This is also a good opportunity to show my value and ability.
Phoenix has always regarded Flander and Yat as his role models, and also hopes to use the enemy's head as his ascending ladder...
"Send the order, tomorrow morning, instruct the kitchen to prepare meals in advance, set off before sunrise, and go straight to Codor!" Phoenix returned to the lord's hall and ordered the commander.
"Yes, sir!"
…………
On the walls of the north city of Marsey Fort, the wind was howling, and the flags standing on the walls were hissing. The last day was only the last day before the arrival of reinforcements. In recent days, Yat has been walking back and forth on the city wall almost every day. First, to check the city defense and comfort the soldiers. Second, it is to hope to look at the situation on the mountain path in the east by standing on the towering city wall.
The task force has been set off for four or five days, but there is still no situation on the mountain path in the east. At this time, Yat was already a little anxious, fearing something happened to the task force on the road. After all, the journey is long, and occasionally bandits appear and wild beasts are rampant. If the task force fails to send reinforcements, he is afraid that his hundreds of people will be left in Fort Marsey.
"Report!"
Yat was shocked and hurriedly ran towards the messenger running up the city wall.
"Report, sir, I found a small group of people on the mountain road to the east, as if they were ours." The messenger said hurriedly.
"How many people are there?" Yat asked anxiously.
"Seven or eight people." replied the sentry.
Att was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that this was the outpost sent by the Valley Garage Legion, and the large army must be at the back.
"Send someone to pick him up immediately." Yat said excitedly.
"yes."
"Slow down!" As the messenger was about to leave, Yat stopped him.
"I told the kitchen to prepare more food for hundreds of people today. They will be very hard to come all the way. Let's go."
"Yes, sir." The messenger ordered the soldiers to leave quickly.
After the messenger left, Yat once again focused his eyes on the mountain path in the east. His heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell after this good news came.
Chapter completed!
