I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 459 Shadow (1)

"Well, anyway, we seem to have arrived at our destination." Edward said, putting the Mighty Sword on his back again, and then pulled Ellie and said, "It's time to get together with old friends.

It's been so long, I hope they won't forget me."

In June 674 of the Creation Calendar, after three months of stalemate between the Phylician Empire and the Free Alliance on the two fronts of the Layton Mountains and the Central Mountains, the war situation finally changed.

The Flame Emperor Stellanthlot unexpectedly appeared on the battlefield in the Leyton Mountains on the western front, and at the same time the most elite heavy infantry regiment of Phylicia, the Flame Dragon Heavy Infantry Regiment, also appeared on the battlefield.

The sudden change of tactics by the Phylicians was obviously completely unexpected by the Free Alliance.

In the past three months, this seemingly undisciplined young imperial general has been almost overwhelmed by the Free Alliance in the Central Mountains.

If it weren't for the excellent reconnaissance capabilities of the Winged Elves in the mountainous area and the desperate struggle of the Star Knight Brant, the Silver Wing Fortress, the gateway to the central mountain range, might have fallen into the hands of the Phylician Empire.

And just when everyone felt that the pressure from the Phylicians on the Central Mountain Front was increasing, Desi Lanslot unexpectedly appeared on the Western Front with his infantry regiment without anyone noticing.

In the Leighton Mountains, this change has undoubtedly completely changed the battle situation that originally seemed to be fairly balanced.

No one can guess how he withdrew the 15,000-man army from the Central Mountains and appeared in the Leyton Mountains instead. But the only thing that can be known is that after the appearance of Desi Lanslot,

Within two weeks, all the Free Alliance fortresses on the south side of the Layton Mountains had fallen.

The entire southern entrance to Gale Canyon was completely controlled by the Phylicians. After ensuring adequate supplies, the Phylician Empire, led by Desi Lanslot, assembled an army of 50,000 people and began a comprehensive attack.

The Free Alliance troops stationed in Gale Canyon launched a general attack.

Although the Free Alliance seemed very passive in response to the sudden attack by the Phylicians.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on them, because until the moment the Phylicians launched their attack, they still could not believe that their opponents dared to gather so boldly, and all the troops deployed in the Leyton Mountains launched an offensive.

In fact, until the last Union fortress in the southern mountain range fell, the Free Alliance in the Layton Mountains had not noticed anything.

Because of the speed and efficiency with which the Phylicians launched their attack, they completely controlled and cut off all external communications from all the Free Alliance fortresses in the southern mountain range.

It was not until the Imperial Army defeated the main force of the Alliance Army in the Layton Mountains that General Raymond, who was in charge of the defense of the Layton Mountains at the time, realized that the situation was not good.

At this time, he had less than 20,000 soldiers left in his hands, and almost half of them were defeated troops that had been defeated in the battles of the previous few days.

Faced with a situation that could not get any worse, after repeated consideration, General Raymond finally decided to withdraw the existing troops from the battlefield of Gale Canyon and retreat to Nogan Fortress. Relying on the dangerous terrain of the fortress, the Phylician Empire

They were firmly suppressed in Gale Canyon, and at the same time asked the Parliament for help, hoping to have a chance to push back the Phylician offensive.

At this time, the Phylician Empire's troops may have been very exhausted due to continuous fighting, which made it quite difficult for them to attack Nogan Fortress.

After besieging the fortress for a week, the Phylicians could only temporarily stop after suffering two thousand casualties.

Two days later, the leader of this brilliant attack by the Phylician Empire, Fire Emperor Stellanthlot, finally appeared in front of the walls of Nogen Fortress.

After launching a tentative attack, the Phylicians quickly retreated.

Seeing that the imperial army had once again returned without success, all the Free Alliance soldiers on the fortress walls looked happy and excited. "General, the current situation is not very optimistic."

In the Phylician Empire camp, Desi Lanslot's adjutant looked a little worried after reporting all the information to his superior.

"Oh? What are you worried about?" Desdelancelot looked very calm, as if he was not here to fight but to travel.

After taking a sip of the black tea in the cup, he raised his head and said with a harmless smile.

"Our opponents seem to be very cautious now. They are still unwilling to come out of the fortress and confront us head-on. Moreover, due to the narrow terrain around the fortress, it is not conducive to our army to launch a siege, so until now we have not been able to attack this fortress.

threaten."

His adjutant seemed to have long been accustomed to Desdalanthlot's tepid attitude, so he explained the situation to him again.

"Really?" After listening to this, Distilancelot stretched and breathed out, "Since they want to compete with us for their patience, let's slowly compete with them.

Order the troops to rest where they are, and let the men of the Third Army take turns to call for formation, but siege is absolutely prohibited, do you understand? In addition, manpower will be deployed to destroy the supply lines in their rear. I want to see how long they can hold out!"

"Huh?" After listening to the almost whimsical order of Desi Lanslot, the adjutant couldn't help but make a confused sound, but he quickly closed his mouth and began to quickly sort out the short-circuit ideas.

Then he said, "General, it seems inappropriate for you to do this.

According to intelligence, the Free Alliance has quite sufficient supplies stored in Nogan Fortress. If we just cut off their logistical supplies to consume them, it will take a long time. As far as I know, after we defeat their main army,

After that, they have already begun to ask for help from the country. If they wait until the other party adds reinforcements..."

"Okay, okay, stop being so wordy. I'll do whatever I say. Who has the final say here? When you were studying at the military academy, didn't your instructors teach you how to obey orders?"

Before the adjutant could finish what he said, Desireancelot impatiently waved his hand to signal him to shut up.

Seeing that Desi Lanslot had said this, the adjutant had no choice but to retreat. In the next few days, except that the Phylicians completely cut off the supply of Norgen Fortress, there was indeed no

Any big move.

In addition to the almost routine call for formation every day, the Free Alliance found that the imperial army did not play any other big tricks. In the next few days, the Phylicians found that no matter how they called the formation, they even scolded the people guarding the fortress.

The Union soldiers still remained quite calm and did not want to fight, but just defended.

Even the Phylicians were so provocative on several occasions that they eliminated several small teams from patrolling not far from the fortress, and were unwilling to come out to get some benefits.

Of course, this does not mean that all Free Alliance soldiers are so calm. In fact, when the Phylicians began to curse in front of the fortress every day, many Alliance soldiers with red eyes planned to rush out of the fortress and fight to the death with the Phylicians.

.

However, their actions were immediately suppressed by General Raymond, because Raymond knew very well the opponent in front of him, Emperor Fire Emperor Stellancelot.

After the Phylician Empire began to launch a war, the number of people who fell into his hands almost exceeded that of the other two imperial generals combined. Even the once-famous Iron Wall Knights were eventually annihilated under the trap he set. No matter what, all the people fell into his hands.

No matter how the imperial army clamored outside the fortress, Raymond was determined not to take the initiative to attack. God knows what is happening from the outside.

Something would suddenly appear in a seemingly uninhabited place. The more Raymond behaved like this, the more Dellance Lott appeared outside the fortress became more and more aggressive. Within a few days, he actually summoned more than 20 soldiers from the legion.

A senior military officer held a tea party less than a kilometer away from the fortress, completely ignoring the Free Alliance defenders in the fortress.

The Free Alliance soldiers standing on the wall of the fortress looked at Desireancelot who was chatting and laughing with other generals not far away, and were almost furious. Even Raymond, who wanted to be calm, saw this kind of demonstration.

, his face turned red and white, and it was obvious that Desireancelot's behavior was a naked insult to him.

However, until the last moment, Raymond still suppressed the anger in his heart. He warned his subordinates to calm down. The current situation of the Imperial Army was not very good, and the road in Gale Canyon was not easy. During this period, he estimated

The supplies for the Imperial Army were not very sufficient and there were still

Another piece of good news came to his ears, that is, the Freedom Alliance had sent 40,000 soldiers of the Western Legion as a reserve team to support him. As long as he could hold on until reinforcements arrived, he would definitely be able to continue this account.

I had to get it back from Distilancelot with profit.

In the past few days, the Phylician camp was also busy. Scouts and senior officers were constantly coming in and out of the big tent.

Almost everyone had a rather nervous expression on their faces, except of course their supreme commander, Desireancelot.

"General, the reinforcements from the Freedom Alliance are less than five days away from here. What do you think we should do now? With our current strength, it may be too late to storm the fortress."

The adjutant of Desi Lanslot was currently reporting all the intelligence he had to his immediate superior in an anxious tone. In his opinion, he should have launched an attack as early as when the most problematic general in the empire arrived here.

A strong attack, although the losses may be quite huge, can still capture the fortress.

But this general's behavior has always been unexpected, and he was so leisurely that he wasted a lot of time on the siege. Although it was a good thing to not see any blood, but at the moment it seemed to him that this general was obviously playing with fire and was likely to get burned.

.

"This matter. I thought you were worried about something." Desdelancelot patted his forehead and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. I sent people to search nearby in the past few days and found a few that can be used.

A mountain road that bypasses this fortress.

You can prepare later. I am going to take my people and set off tonight, bypass this place, and then entertain their reinforcements. That's it." "General, are you..."

Before the adjutant was halfway through his words, Desdalenslot's face showed impatience again, and he immediately closed his mouth. Then he saluted him with a military salute and planned to exit the camp.

"Hey, wait a minute, don't worry. I still have something to ask you." Just when the adjutant was halfway there, Desdalen Slot stopped him again.

"General, do you have any other orders?" the adjutant asked with a numb expression. "Oh, it's nothing actually. I just want to ask, how many spare armors do we have in our supply now?"

...At this moment, in Nogan Fortress, a scout hurriedly ran to the conference room and broke in without even knocking on the door.

"General, General. The Phylicians are taking action."

"Oh? Come on!" Seeing his subordinates looking so nervous, Raymond immediately forgot about his trespassing in the conference hall.

After hearing the news reported by the scouts, Raymond immediately burst out laughing. Seeing Raymond's appearance, other people in the conference hall immediately looked at him with incomprehensible expressions. "That fox finally couldn't help but want to

Let’s take action.”

Raymond said with a proud expression, "He seems to have learned that our reinforcements are about to arrive.

So he plans to bypass the control area of ​​the fortress tonight through the hilly road east of the fortress to prevent our rendezvous."

"But he never dreamed that all the mountain roads here are actually under our control. Since he plans to throw himself into the trap, we would be very sorry for those who died if we don't use this opportunity to show them some color.

brother."

Having said this, Raymond suddenly had a trace of anger on his face, "Desdelancelot, you have always been the only one who plots against others, and today it's your turn to experience the feeling of being plotted against."

Then Raymond waved his hand and ordered: "Adjutant, help me select two thousand elite soldiers. I want to personally teach that brat who knows nothing about the world."

"General Raymond, isn't it too risky for you to do this? Although Distilancelot has always been weird in doing things, he has always been very cautious. This time everything looks like a trap?" The one who spoke was Freedom.

A deputy commander of the alliance. "Hmph. Don't worry. I have my own way of dealing with that guy." Raymond sneered, his face full of murderous intent.

That night, Raymond led a thousand soldiers to ambush on a hillside near the mountain road chosen by Desi Lanslot. From there, they could clearly overlook all the movements on the path down the slope.

, and this is also the most dangerous place on the mountain road and the only way to the rear.

At this moment, everyone, including Raymond, was holding their breath waiting for the arrival of their prey. Their action this time was likely to have a considerable shock to the battlefield in the Leighton Mountains.

If they could kill this accomplished imperial general, it would probably cause chaos or even collapse of the entire western front of the Phylician army.

When the moon in the sky could no longer hold back its fatigue and began to slowly set down the mountain, a very slight sound finally came from not far away.
