Lord of the North

"My lord, I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy." Looking at the dark night, a general looked worriedly at Gareth who was standing beside him.

Gareth was ordered to lead the rest of the army to garrison the Barea Pass, and must not allow the army of the Kingdom of Lopez to break in and break through the fortress.

The reason why the general felt uneasy was because one-third of their scouts scattered outside the fortress lost contact, and some scouts actually found traces of small-scale army activities in the wild.

So Gareth was convinced that it might be that the 50,000 enemy troops whose whereabouts were unknown had arrived near the Baria Pass.

Because none of the spies Jason had placed in Phil's camp had heard of the mission and whereabouts of the 50,000 troops, so he was extremely wary of this army.

The unknown is the scariest thing. It's a pity that the scout who found the traces of the enemy's activities did not find a large enemy army nearby, not even the enemy's scout cavalry. Otherwise, one or two enemies would be arrested and tortured. Maybe we can find out the specific location of their barracks.

With the clear location of the enemy, it will be much easier for Gareth to deal with it.

Unlike now, even after spending so much manpower and material resources, we can only confirm that the enemy has arrived near the Baria pass, but we can't find the exact location of the enemy at all, so we can only increase our vigilance. In this way, most soldiers I couldn't rest well again.

This made Gareth feel very distressed. Could it be that the 50,000 troops can still dig into the soil?

It would be great if Astolfo was here, with Jun Ying's high-altitude realm, coupled with his superhuman eyesight, there is no place to hide for a scale of 50,000 people.

On the other side, more than 40,000 troops were stationed in a mountain depression two days away from the Baria Pass, and there were guard sentries scattered nearby. There were dozens of cavalry wandering around outside the mountain pass. , they will rush in.

In addition, in order to confuse the sight of the Barea Pass, cavalry were also sent in other directions to hunt down the Barea Pass scouts. Otherwise, a large number of scouts would disappear, and Gareth would have followed the vine to find them.

It's just that the commander's behavior has puzzled many people. This kind of hiding in Tibet has caused many soldiers to complain.

If the enemy's army is strong and several times larger than their own, they may still accept it, but the situation is just the opposite! It is obvious that the defenders of the Baria pass are a little weaker than their own side.

It was as if he was running for his life, which was also a great blow to morale.

Now a very unfavorable rumor has spread in the barracks, saying that the commander-in-chief of this army was frightened by the northern barbarians in the last war, and he did not dare to confront them head-on.

This was a disgrace to the martial Lopez Kingdom soldiers, and many thought the young commander was unworthy of commanding them.

"Marshal, if we continue like this, not only will it be difficult to complete the tasks His Majesty taught us, but I'm afraid there will be great chaos." In the largest tent in the mountain depression, a bearded general looked at a group of people helplessly. Said a young man looking at a map.

The young man's blond hair hangs over his shoulders, and his lavender eyes seem to be forever filled with a faint smile.

Legend has it that only people with the royal blood of the ancient Sylay Empire would do this. Blonde hair and purple eyes have always been the representative of this country, and I don't know if it is true or not.

After hearing the general's voice, the young man looked away from the map, and said to him with an apologetic smile: "General Woolf, you need to worry about appeasing the soldiers, Barea Pass It is now a war fortress, and I will not rush to attack without sufficient preparation, otherwise we will be the ones who are unlucky, and at that time, Earl Hicks will be a lesson for us."

General Woolf responded with a wry smile: "But if this continues, our reserve food will not be enough, and now the only food left is enough for us to eat for half a month.

Unless we can get to the planned location now. "

"Believe me, dear General Woolf, I use the reputation of the Murphy family to assure you that we will win this war." The young people of the Murphy family looked at General Woolf seriously, slamming every word say.

"Okay, respected Marshal Faun." In desperation, General Woolf had no choice but to choose to trust him, and trust Murphy, a family with a long history.

Although this family is only a Viscount noble now, its background makes no noble in the Lopez Kingdom dare to underestimate it. Even asking them to stand up to support His Majesty Phil's ascension to the throne was the Marquis of Bod himself. guest.

Because the current patriarch of the Murphy family was once a student of Bode Kryon, it is worth mentioning here that the Marquis Bode had served at the Western Knights Academy more than 20 years ago, and he also gave lectures there. class for a while.

"Ah, by the way, have our spies found out who the general who is currently stationed at the Barea Pass is? Is it the famous Lancelot or the famous Roland in the last war?" Just as Wu When Ralph was about to back down, Faun Murphy suddenly stopped him.

His eyes are full of excitement and anticipation. Only by defeating the two most famous people in the north of the Lopez Kingdom can he truly prove his ability.

It is a pity that General Woolf shook his head lightly, and replied: "Neither, those two have moved to the other side to resist the army led by His Majesty the King, and now the one who stays at the Baria Pass is a The general named Gareth once served as the mayor of Erbia, and we only have so much information about him."

"Francis' gateway to Irbia Town? It seems that this General Gareth is also the confidant of our respectable Second Prince." Faun said to himself with a smile: "It's also very interesting, no I know if His Royal Highness the Second Prince would feel heartbroken if he died in this war."

Woolf lowered his head and did not answer, because it would be very inappropriate to call Jason the Second Prince at this time. He didn't want to ask for trouble. Who knows how many Filipinos are in the barracks behind him? Your eyes and ears?

"I suddenly had a very interesting plan." At this moment, Marshal Faun clapped his hands suddenly, and said happily: "I just don't know if this General Gareth will be fooled."

Then he tore off the map hanging on the wall, pointed to a small cross on it and said, "How about we set up a bait here?"

Woolf took a closer look and couldn't help exclaiming: "Nora town?"
