Lord of the North

During the next march, Baron Dongdeng became very cautious, and the outpost scouts also became frightened. Because of previous mistakes, some of their partners had already been executed.

Now when they open the road, they will search the mountains and forests near the road very carefully. Although the possibility of being attacked is greatly avoided, it also slows down the progress of Baron Dongte's army.

There is also the fact that their remaining food can no longer withstand the consumption of the previously estimated time, and there is a blockage of information and intelligence.

Because they have been marching, the carrier pigeon has been abandoned by the Baron Dongte, and the cavalry sent out has no news, and their fate can be imagined.

This made Baron Dongte more sure that there was an army against them all the time, causing him and his army to rest badly at night.

It's just that there is something that makes him feel even worse. In order to find out where this army is, he has already sent out hundreds of sentinels.

But they didn't find anything. The army that had been monitoring them was as if the world had evaporated, without a trace of clues left.

Even the hundreds of people who attacked the grain transport team were nowhere to be seen.

Baron Dongte felt that he was going crazy with depression. If he was defeated head-on on the battlefield, maybe he would only be disheartened, but losing for no reason is not acceptable to him.

For this reason, he has made a lot of anger recently, and several senior generals have been angered by him.

Now his previous plan has been completely disrupted by this elusive army. It is impossible for the army he leads to reach the defense line where Panik is stationed within the planned time.

In the past few days, Baron Dongte felt that he was going crazy because of this incident. Just when his mood exploded, a messenger who went out came back.

Baron Dongte, who got the news, rushed out immediately, but he couldn't help but thumped in his heart when he saw the orderly.

Because there were no less than ten arrows stuck in his body, and even his mount and war horse were scarred.

"The Baron... Your Lord Baron!"

The soldier became very emotional after seeing the appearance of Baron Dongte. He shook off the soldier bandaging his wound and struggled to get up, but Baron Dongte pressed him down.

"Don't worry, take care of the wound first."

Baron Dongte said in a deep voice, he already had a very bad premonition in his heart when he saw the sad look on the soldier's face.

"No...it's too late, my lord, please listen to me...listen to me..."

The soldier knew his state, and he was still able to support it now because he wanted to pass the news to Baron Dongte.

Of their dozens of messenger scouts, he was probably the only one left alive.

"Okay, tell me, I'll listen." A trace of grief flashed in Baron Dongte's eyes, and he could tell that the soldier had lost too much blood and couldn't last long.

"Master... my lord, hurry up and lead them back to the Baria pass. Master Panik was... defeated, and the eight thousand troops were wiped out..."

The soldier reached out and grabbed Baron Dongte's arm with great difficulty and said very sadly, and the dead gray on his face became thicker and thicker.

"What? General Panick still has 4,000 slave legions, how could he be defeated so quickly?" Now Baron Dongte couldn't care less about the soldier's rude behavior, he exclaimed in shock, but Immediately stopped by him.

This news is not suitable for the barracks, so his expression changed, he turned his head and ordered to the people around him: "This news must be kept in your hearts."

"Yes! Lord Baron!"

Most of the people around are small commanders with some status, how can they not know the seriousness of this, if they answer late, they might be silenced by Baron Dongte, so they expressed their opinions one after another.

"General Panik, he gave...an order to surprise Marquis Jason's army, but it failed..." The soldier's eyes began to lose sight, and he could no longer hold on after his mission had been accomplished.

"General Panick... He was also killed in the battle of Dede Town, my lord... avenged us..." While finishing his last sentence, the soldier also swallowed his last breath, and he opened his eyes , there is a desire for life in it.

"A generous burial." Baron Dongte gently removed the palm of his arm and said expressionlessly.

Now he hates Panick that smart guy, and now the plan set by Earl Ika has been completely disrupted. Once there is another accident at Barea Pass, His Royal Highness Phil will pay more to achieve his goal. cost.

"Lord Baron, what should we do next? Do we want to move on?" At this time, a low-ranking general approached Baron Dongte with apprehension on his face. He asked cautiously, for fear of offending him, it must not be a good mood Your lord the Baron.

"Go back to Baria Pass and hold there."

Baron Dongte glanced at the general as if looking at a fool, then turned around and ordered, after thinking for a while he said: "Follow me to my carriage, we have to re-establish a route."

God knows if an ambush has been set up on the way back. If you go back so stupidly, you might just step into the trap. Let alone go back to the Baria pass and continue to set up a defense line, can you? It's hard to tell if you get back there alive.

Because they don't know how many people are in the army that ambushed them. What they don't know or have never noticed is that there are several blue eagles hovering above their heads. Wherever they go, these few Where the eagle follows.

And at this moment, the army that had repeatedly attacked them did not continue to ambush him as he had feared.

Instead, they came to the orderly formation of troops on the only way they had to go back, and cavalry and archery teams on horses patrolled nearby, and shot them mercilessly when they encountered a scout team.

This army seems to be only about 4,000 people, most of them are flying the flag of Lucca City, and a small part are flying the flag of Jason's white wolf.

There are also some messy little noble flags. Most of these people are responsible for logistics and transportation, and their equipment is very simple. They are an army composed of a group of lightly armored soldiers with full mobility.

The most frightening thing about this army is the dozens of Black God Ballistas that have been assembled in the back. The Iron Fang collar Black God Army has become the nightmare of many northern nobles.

"If they choose to engage in a head-on confrontation with our army at that time, they will have to trouble Lord Leonidas and your soldiers and rush to the forefront."

In a large tent, Roland looked at a map on the table, and looked apologetically at Leonidas standing in front of him like an iron tower.
