MTL - Lord Highlander-Chapter 1530 1517. Tension

   Chapter 1530 1517. The sword is on the verge of breaking out

On the high cliffs on both sides of the valley, there are still battle flags of the West Route Army. Even if there are horses carrying heavy armor, the 30,000 reinforcements will still be able to reach the Dake Valley at the southern foot of Moyunling. It took a lot of effort.

After passing through some steep passes, the officers in the reinforcement army discovered that in such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place, they did not know how much the West Route Army had spent to capture it. Many officers were discussing in private , an infantry regiment of the West Route Army is repairing in the canyon barracks, which does not seem unreasonable.

  If the army that captured this mountain was replaced by them, they might not be able to touch the edge of the canyon at all.

After leaving the battlefield at the foot of Moyunling Mountain, the terrain here is no longer suitable for heavy cavalry to charge, but relying on the combat capabilities of heavy armored infantry, if you want to kill those evil ghost fighters... it doesn't mean that you can kill as many people as possible. It can be done.

  If it could be done, Duke Newman’s Bena Legion would have captured this place long ago, and they would not wait until now.

   Between the mountains at the southern foot of Moyunling, there are many fir trees with a height of 100 meters. It is obviously not an easy task to open a mountain road.

  The dense forest is full of vines and shrubs. These plants themselves have thorns, the vines are flexible and flexible, and the hillside is very steep and difficult to climb...

   These 30,000 reinforcements followed the convoy carrying supplies along the road. The heavy armored infantry equipped with horses would not dare to ride on this mountain road even if they had horses, for fear of accidentally falling down the hillside.

  They walked slowly along with the logistics convoy of the military department of Bena Province, starting from the barracks at the foot of the southern foot of Moyunling Mountain, and walked for three days before reaching the outside of the canyon halfway up the mountain.

   It’s another scene when you arrive at this canyon. Many caravans come in and out at the south entrance of the canyon. Some business houses pile up supplies on a gentle **** with no trees outside the valley. Adventure groups continue to enter this valley.

  Three noble lords were riding on black scaled horses, and these scaled horses were covered with a layer of heavy armor. Standing at the front of the reinforcement team, they looked full of aura.

As the head of the Constructed Swordsman Group, Simon Jeffrey looked at the guards in the Dark Valley, with a unique pride in the corner of his mouth. He was wearing a magic pattern structure made of Warcraft leather. Carrying two golden storm swords on his back, he exudes nobility...

   Behind him were 1,500 constructed swordsmen.

These three Constructed Swordsmen regiments were cobbled together by the lords who participated in the reinforcement of the Moyunling Battle. I heard that there were only two Constructed Knights regiments in Lord Suldak's West Route Army. This time they Bringing three Constructed Swordsman Squads all at once, the combat power is much stronger than the original Constructed Knights of the West Route Army anyway.

  Thinking of this, Marquis Simon, who was sitting on horseback, couldn't help but feel a little proud. He even looked forward to the wonderful expression on his face when Lord Suldak came out of the valley to welcome him.

  Located among the three nobles is the Marquis of Valentine Heller. This Marquis is wearing heavy armor and exudes a strong murderous aura. He looks like a general who has experienced many battles. He is the supreme commander of this reinforcement army. This time he brought 70,000 reinforcements from Handanal City, but currently 40,000 reinforcements are temporarily staying in the barracks at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.

  Because the Lord Suldak has not received a reply in the recent period, it is difficult for Marquis Heller to look better, and the eyes hidden behind the visor are also very cold.

  He felt that this young earl with outstanding military exploits must be an arrogant person, otherwise, how could he refuse the olive branches handed over by all the noble lords in Handanal County?

  It may also be that I have become used to being a lone wolf these years, and have ignored the truth that only wolves can defeat lions.

  He came this time to let the Earl of Suldak understand the rules here.

As for the Marquis of Waters Caesar on the far right, he always has a faint smile on his face. He is wearing a clean and tidy noble dress, and the bow tie of his shirt is decorated with lace. He is in charge of the support army. The supply of materials can be regarded as the logistics chief of the support army.

  When Suldak rushed over, Marquis Caesar was observing the merchants at the entrance of the valley, and even briefly asked the guard in charge of reception how many caravans would come in and out of here every day...

  …

  Since the three nobles were all marquises, and their titles were one rank higher than his own, Suldak rushed directly to the entrance of the valley to greet them.

After making some introductions, Suldak invited the three marquises to the command post to rest, and several logistics officers behind him placed 30,000 reinforcements in an open space under the cliff on the west side of the valley. Originally, Suldak It is planned to develop a residential area here, but not enough carpenters have been recruited yet, so this vacant land is just cleared out.

  Although the 30,000 reinforcements came uninvited this time, they had the approval of the House of Representatives of Handanal County in their hands, and the approval was signed by Duke Newman.

  So Suldak can't keep them out no matter what, and it's only natural to arrange a military camp.

Surdak's command post is a row wooden house without a loft, opposite to the wooden house of the medical team. The nurses in the medical team have hung up the cleaned hemostatic bandages on the clothesline these days, making the command post very crowded. Linen bandages floated here and there in the clearing ahead.

   There were no wounded soldiers at the medical center. Outside a wooden house, dozens of injured adventurers lined up in a long line, quietly waiting for Nika's treatment.

   Fortunately, there were no serious injuries today. When Suldak passed by the wooden house, Signa, who was sitting at the door of the wooden house in the medical clinic, waved to him.

  The camp looked peaceful, even the training ground was deserted.

  A group of knights huddled next to the sink in the camp to wash their war horses. These war horses are also the most common Gubolai horses, and everything seems to be nothing special.

When passing through the commercial street in the valley, the three Marquis took a few glances from a distance. It was indeed very lively there, and near the commercial street was the campsite of the adventure group. I heard that every adventurer wanted to enter Valley, have to pay a high toll.

  Suldak walked into the command post. In addition to a huge wooden table with a real-life sand table in the hall, there were also a row of chairs that had just been moved in.

The three Marquis sat on chairs, and Suldak began to introduce the current situation in Moyun Ridge. The magicians made the sand table beautifully, with small flags planted on it, almost covering the entire eastern area of ​​the highland. .

   "...Our knights have just cleared out the evil spirits in the eastern part of the highlands recently, and there are no traces of evil spirits in the eastern part." Suldak patiently introduced to the three chief officers of the reinforcements.

  Marquis Simon Geoffrey squinted his eyes while sitting on the chair. This wooden chair should be new. There are some burrs on the back of the chair and the cushion, and it is not very comfortable to sit on.

He recalled some of the information he had received, and thought to himself: This is clearly the work of more than 20,000 adventurers, and the young earl in front of him shamelessly took it for himself. Thinking of this...he felt a little contemptuous He glanced at Suldak carefully.

"Speaking of which, the Handanal County House of Representatives also heard that the battle situation in Moyunling was tight, so they mobilized a group of troops from the nobles and lords in the city, mainly to stabilize the Moyunling battlefield." Hai Marquis Le sat up straight and said to Suldak.

   "So... the West Route Army's current battlefield front is located near the north-south central axis of Moyunling?"

  As the head of the Constructed Swordsman Group, Marquis Simon Geoffrey stood in front and asked Suldak.

   "The Constructed Knights of the West Route Army are currently retreating to the valley barracks for repairs. The evil ghost army on the Moyunling Highlands has also retreated to the western region. The next battlefield will start here..."

  Suldak drew a big circle on the map with a red pen while introducing.

   "That is to say, the West Route Army is not guarding the highland battlefield?" Marquis Heller's eyes were sharp.

Suldak straightened his face, stared at Marquis Heller and asked, "Then, Your Excellency, where do you think the battlefield in Moyunling is? Or maybe our West Route Army wants to drive out the evil spirits on the Moyunling Highlands?" If you go back to your hometown, you must stick to the high ground?"

  The atmosphere in the command post suddenly became tense.

  Waters Marquis Caesar stood up at this time, he gracefully raised a hand, stood beside the sand table and said loudly:

"Everyone, please listen to me. We didn't come here specifically to quarrel. It's just that the current battlefield is changing rapidly. Since we have grasped the initiative on the battlefield, everyone's purpose is very clear, which is to be able to fight as soon as possible. Drive the evil spirits back to their hometown."

  Hearing what Marquis Caesar said, Marquis Heller with cold eyes stopped talking.

  Marquis Nishizawa put one hand on the first button of the noble dress, softened his tone and said with a smile:

   "Now that the evil ghost army has retreated to the west of the Moyunling Highlands, this is a huge opportunity for us."

   "Of course we also know that the West Route Army has been fighting for months, and most of the troops need to be repaired during this period. That's why the House of Representatives of Handanal County asked us to bring 70,000 troops to support them."

   "As far as the information about the evil ghost army we have so far is not complete enough, I suggest that Marquis Simon Jeffrey's Constructed Swordsmen can set off overnight to grasp the latest situation of Moyunling Highland..."

   "Commander Suldak, what do you think?"

  Although Marquis Nishizawa is the chief officer in charge of the logistics of the reinforcements, stepping up to ease the situation at this time is obviously paving the way for the next actions of the Constructed Knights of the reinforcements.

  Suldak didn't expect them to be so impatient, and they planned to send a regiment of constructed swordsmen to the battlefield without even conducting the most basic investigation.

  But Suldak thought about it again, and estimated that among the adventure groups that entered the Moyunling Highlands, there would be no less than a hundred intelligence personnel belonging to these lords.

   Obviously, the information they obtained before was passed from the adventure group.

The members of the adventure group hunted and killed the evil ghost warriors on the Moyunling highlands, and they have never suffered a large-scale counterattack from the evil ghost army, so some members of the adventure group mistakenly thought that the evil ghosts on the Moyunling highlands The Legion has been squeezed to the point of being powerless to fight back.

  Even the merchants in the camp here know that the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge have been starving. Maybe the evil spirit warriors in the camp are too hungry to get up now...
