Chapter 236: A Smooth Return (Part 2)
Chapter 236: Return smoothly (Part 2)
"We still have to speed up and wait until we return to White Rock City before resting." Leon looked south, with snow in the distance.
Four days and four nights, in order to avoid the enemy's pursuit, the Thunder Beast Team traveled day and night without stopping, and almost no rest on the way, and even had to eat on a hunchback.
When we arrived here, both humans and snow camels were already very tired.
But Leon knew very well that he had not escaped from danger yet, and this place was still the territory of the barbarians, and the barbarian army would appear at any time, so even if he was exhausted, he could not stay and rest.
His own situation is not very good. The price he paid for using the soul-devouring arm is quite high. The lost blood cannot be compensated in a short period of time. Although his soul power has recovered by 50% or 60%, his real combat power is less than 30% of the usual ones.
No one questioned and no one complained. All the soldiers swallowed the cold and hard jerky in the snow, hurriedly filling their stomachs and set off on the road again.
After half a day of travel, the Thunder Beast Team was already very close to Valen City, which was also the last possible obstacle.
"grown ups"
A Ranger Scout hurried over and said excitedly: "The barbarian army and the cavalry of our third battle group were found ahead, and the number was about one thousand, and they were in battle."
The cavalry of the Third War Leader Reon was immediately excited when he heard this.
There is no doubt that Count Octavia received the war report he passed on and deployed it according to his ideas.
The barbarian side is likely to have sent an enemy army in Valen City to patrol and intercept it in the east, and the cavalry of the third battle group is definitely coming to pick up the Thunder Beast Brigade, and the main force must be still behind.
"That's great." Leon couldn't help but clench his fists and shouted: "Brothers, let's kill them together and let the savages take a good look at our power."
"kill"
Hundreds of Thunder Beast Warriors raised their weapons. Although their bodies were very tired, their morale and fighting spirit were not weak at all.
In the battle of Linsport, the Thunder Beast Team won a complete victory, which also allowed the new recruits to grow up quickly. In some aspects, they were completely comparable to the veterans.
Under the guidance of the scouts, eight hundred thunder beast warriors rode in a row, galloping past the ice field like a black tide.
After walking about two or three miles, an army was trapped in fierce battle appeared on the ice field ahead. Leon saw the flying flags of the Third Battle Group at a glance.
The battle between the two sides was very fierce, all of which were cavalry teams, the third battle group was dominated by horses, while the barbarian side was full of snow camels.
Feather arrows flew in the sky, battle axes and heavy swords collided with each other, and the sound of fighting spread from afar to all directions. Every minute and a second, cavalry fell on the snow, and blood stained the originally pure land red.
When the main force of the Thunder Beast Team appeared, the barbarian suddenly burst into loud cheers.
This is because the Thunder Beast Warriors are all dressed as barbarian cavalry, and the ones they ride are all snow camels, so they are naturally regarded as their reinforcements by these barbarians.
But they immediately found something wrong.
"Thunder Beast"
A beast-winged battle flag suddenly stood up, and the thunder beast warriors roared in unison, urging the snow camel under their crotch to increase the speed to the extreme and approached the barbarian side.
"It's the Thunder Beast Team"
The cavalry of the Third War Group burst into cheers.
As Leon expected, this cavalry team was sent by Count Octavia to respond to the Thunder Beast Team. After entering the ice field, they encountered barbarian cavalry, and the two sides fought.
The number of cavalry on both sides is more in the third battle group and the equipment is more elite, but they are not very suitable for the combat environment of the Arctic Icefield. In addition, the barbarian cavalry is extremely fierce, so they are still at a slight disadvantage.
When they first saw the Thunder Beast Team, they thought it was the enemy's reinforcements and were ready to die in battle.
But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the so-called enemy reinforcements were actually the Thunder Beast Team. The cavalry of the Third Battle Group suddenly boosted their morale and killed the barbarians to retreat step by step.
Although the barbarians were brave, they were not fools. Seeing the charge of the thunder beast warriors were about to attack them, they immediately sounded the horn and retreated towards the direction of Valen City.
If the barbarians were determined to escape, the cavalry of the Third Army could not catch up because their horses were not very suitable for galloping on the snowy ice field. The snow camels of the Thunder Beast Warriors were very tired after a long journey, and a charge was enough to consume the remaining physical strength.
So most of the barbarian cavalry successfully escaped, leaving only two or three hundred corpses on the snow.
Leon didn't have the heart to pursue the enemy, although those were visible results, in fact, the results obtained by the Thunder Beast Team were already very brilliant, and it didn't matter whether it was icing on the cake or not.
He led the soldiers to meet with the cavalry of the Third War Group. The soldiers on both sides cheered for victory, and the shouts of excitement rushed straight into the sky.
A lion-born officer and knight came up and shouted excitedly: "Baron Leon, we finally found you."
"Thank you" Leon smiled and asked, "Where is the third battle group now?"
"Let's talk about it on the way, and the Earl of Octavia ordered us to find you and return immediately."
"Okay" Leon nodded.
The two teams were temporarily merged and headed towards the south.
On the way home, the officer and knight told Leon that the third regiment set out from White Rock City to attack Valen City the day before yesterday, and cooperated with the two regiments of the Northern Garrison Army to surround Valen City, and they were sent to pick up the Thunder Beast Brigade.
"So you don't have to worry. Except for the enemies who just escaped, no more barbarians will come here. The barbarian army has basically shrunk into the city, and they can't hold on for a long time," said the knight.
Leon nodded. Although it is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, he has made a mess with Linsk Port now. Valen City has lost its only support. In addition, the city has limited food reserves, so it is only a matter of time to be captured.
The only variable is whether the barbarian side will fully support Valen City, but that must be allowed Valen City to hold on.
"According to the orders of Count Octavia, we escort you directly to White Rock City without having to participate in the battle to attack Valen City." The Knight finally said: "You are resting in White Rock City for a while now, Count Octavia asks me to tell you..."
“He thanks you for your sacrifice and efforts for the Kingdom and the Third War Chapter”
On the horse's back, the officer performed a knightly salute to Leon.
Earl of Octavia and the Third Army had reason to thank Leon. The Thunderbeast Brigade rushed to hundreds of miles to destroy important ports of the barbarians. This battle gave the reputation of the Third Army and also allowed the Northern Garrison to see the bravery and fearlessness of the Southern Army.
From the perspective of the entire battle situation, this battle greatly affected the situation on the Eastern Front. At least there would be problems with the supply and supply of the barbarian side, which would disrupt the enemy's deployment and be conducive to the upcoming battle after the arrival of the Expeditionary Force.
The team headed south and finally arrived at Baishi City after a day and night of travel.
Finally back
Seeing the flags flying on the city walls in the distance, Leon relaxed. His nerves were always tense all the way back, and his heart was under great pressure.
Now I can finally have a good sleep
At this time, only a few guards were left in Baishi City. The main force of the Third Army was dispatched in full swing, and the small city became a supply base in the rear, stocking up a large amount of food and weapons and supplies.
When they arrived at the barracks station in the city, the extremely tired soldiers immediately lay in the room and slept soundly, not even taking off their leather armor.
The most unbearable ones were the five shamans. They gritted their teeth and persevered. They could hardly hold on the way to Baishi City, and collapsed to the ground when they arrived in the city.
But Leon could not rest like them. The Knights gave him a warrant issued by Count Octavia, allowing him to formally take over White Rock City and be responsible for the supply of supplies to the Third Army.
This is not a hard task, because there are three battle groups in front, and Baishi City in the rear is naturally at ease. He doesn't need to do it himself. There are special baggage teams and quarantine officers in the city.
So this is equivalent to letting Leon and the Thunder Beast Team rest in Baishi City. They won dazzling military achievements ahead, and it is now the third team to perform.
Otherwise, if others finally know that the Thunder Beast Brigade that made great contributions is only dependent on the territory army of the Third Army, and the real main force does nothing, then the Earl of Octavia will be quite faceless.
After submitting the warrant, the knight officer hurriedly left Baishi City with his cavalry and went to Valen City to meet with the main force. The battle to siege the city was about to begin, and every minute of combat power was precious.
After he left, Leon became the controller of White Rock City and officially took over this small northern city.
As the supreme commander, he moved into the most luxurious building in the city, which was the house that originally belonged to the city lord and nobles.
It is rare that there are five servants in this house, including two middle-aged maids, who did not evacuate after the fall of Valen City, but continued to stay here to serve the later commanders of the garrison.
This saved Leon a lot of trouble. At least someone cooked hot water for him to take a bath and prepared delicious dinners, so he didn't need to do it himself.
Leon pulled Qiangwei to take a mandarin bath together. During this period, Qiangwei followed her to die and live on the Arctic ice field. The leopard girl was much haggard all the way.
After taking a shower and having a sumptuous dinner, Leon came to bed. Although Rose was still by his side, he had no evil thoughts.
Quietly embracing the lover in his arms and sniffing the familiar fragrance, Leon's heart was joyful and peaceful, and sleepiness quietly came.
A night passed quietly.
