Lord of War

"Snapped."

A report document flew out of Elizabeth's hand and landed on a desk without any mistakes.

Asuna looked up, with a bit of doubt on her face.

"Your pioneer knight is really not an ordinary person." Elizabeth smiled, but she couldn't see what the smile meant.

Asuna opened the report casually, and there were only a few records of the locations and results of several battles on it. As for other data, there were no records. But when Asuna saw the first combat record recorded on it, she frowned, then stood up and walked towards the combat conference room, followed by Elizabeth, who seemed to have known about Asuna's situation for a long time. Na's plans are mediocre.

There are a total of two combat meeting rooms in Fortress Tonis.

The largest one is in the castle area of ​​the fortress, covering an area of ​​more than 500 square meters. There is a huge strategic model map in it, which draws the Principality of Ryan, the Millennium Covenant Empire, and the Kingdom of Dabion—Asuna’s land in extremely detailed detail. My dream is to one day be able to create all the landforms on the entire Miracle Continent.

The other combat conference room is in the City Lord's Mansion, but the scale is much smaller.

This meeting room also has a map of landforms, but it only has some conditions around the Tonis Territory and the surrounding Angloda Mountains. It is naturally impossible to compare with the map of the castle area in terms of scale. It's just that the people who were lucky enough to see that map, except for Asuna, were only five people, and one hand was just full, so when most of them were able to see the map located in the combat conference room of the City Lord's Mansion, they would There will be a heartfelt astonishment.

At this moment, after entering the combat conference room, Asuna got up and walked to the map, and said, "Richard Corridor..."

Elizabeth stretched out her right hand with delicate skin, and planted a small red flag no longer than one finger long on a grassland located in the northeast corner of the Angoroda Mountains.

"The Corridor of Ashes..."

Another small red flag was inserted a few centimeters below the right of the first small red flag.

Whenever Asuna reported a place name, Elizabeth would insert a small red flag at the corresponding position on the landform map. After doing this seven times, Asuna finally stopped narrating, and Elizabeth also placed the flag in her hand. All the other flags were thrown back to the edge of the table.

Every place where a small red flag is planted is a battlefield, and seven small flags are seven wars.

At this moment, on this landform map, a red line can be seen.

This route starts from the northeast corner of the Angloda Mountains and the edge of the Boles Forest, and goes straight south along the Angroda Mountains. Pass through the last piece of Viscount territory that connects the Kingdom of Dabion and the Tonis Territory, then this extended line will officially enter the Tonis Territory.

If it was just a general situation, it would naturally not attract the attention of Asuna and Elizabeth.

But this army cannot be regarded as the general situation.

"In two months, there were seven battles across the four territories of the Dabion Kingdom." Asuna frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Every battle is mainly about defeating the enemy, never Chasing down the rout without taking prisoners, it is obvious that this army is marching in a hurry...It seems that our Sir Connery is indeed in a hurry."

"He has only regained two small towns so far.

The situation in Panda Town is very unstable, and it is heard that an army has entered Panda Territory from the barren land, and the banner is the blood flag, which should be Dabron's reinforcements. Elizabeth said, "I estimate that a new war will break out in Panda Town within the next month, but I don't know if the army led by Alfred will arrive in time."

"If there are no accidents, we should be able to catch up with this war to establish the situation of the territory." As a military strategist, Asuna's vision is naturally more sophisticated than Elizabeth's. Judging from the positions of the seven small red flags, she has already The marching speed of this army can be roughly inferred, "But I really didn't expect that Xiao En actually hid such an army.... The intelligence shows a size of more than 9,000 people?"

"There are more than 7,000 northern barbarians, but only more than 4,000 people are equipped with weapons. There are also more than 1,000 mixed troops, totaling more than 9,000 people." Elizabeth replied, "But in fact, the real battle There are only more than 5,000 people. However, these 5,000 people have already defeated the troops of the four lords with a total of more than 20,000, and also attacked several towns along the way. It is possible to form a cavalry force of 2,000 men...but until I get this information, there are only about 6,000 men left from the 9,000 men."

Asuna pondered for a moment, and then said: "It seems that when this army arrives in Panda, I'm afraid it will give Sean a big surprise."

"Say, are we also going to buy a batch of northern barbarian slaves for training?" Elizabeth smiled, "These guys look easy to raise, and their combat effectiveness is quite high. This Connor I'm afraid Sir Leigh will give many people a surprise... Tell me, should I take people to guard the border to prevent any accidents."

"No need." Asuna shook her head, "Viscount Doki is a very timid person. All the private soldiers in his entire territory have gathered, and I don't know if there are 3,000 people. Stop Alfred's imposing army, heh..." At the end of the talk, Asuna sneered: "Unless the lords of the territories behind Viscount Doki see something and work together Send troops to reinforce, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to stop this pack of wolves."

"I always feel... those guys from Dabion Kingdom may let this pack of wolves return easily."

...

The cold wind howled.

Alfred made a routine inspection of the camp.

It is said to be a camp, but it is actually just a meeting point. There is no tent or other materials in the entire camp. Everyone is wrapped in a blanket and sleeps on the ground. Did not ignite. Although they had found a leeward place as much as possible, the howling cold wind still made many people feel a little chilly, so most of the soldiers huddled together to keep warm.

During the routine inspection, many soldiers who were not asleep would greet Alfred when they saw him. And Alfred responded one by one without pretensions, as if he didn't think it would be a waste of time to do so, and whenever he saw a wounded soldier enduring pain, this heroic middle-aged man would Stop, and then help to check the opponent's injury again, and help the opponent change the medicine by the way.

In the past two months, he has traveled thousands of kilometers, and there have been seven wars, large and small.

Whenever there is a battle, Alfred is always at the forefront. No matter what kind of arms the enemy is, or what kind of strong enemy there is, Alfred has never backed down half a step. He will always be the first to pierce through the enemy's troops, and he will always be the one who walks in the most critical places on the battlefield. Because the troops have family members, they are actually very passive every time a war breaks out. If Alfred hadn't charged back and forth in the enemy's formation with his halberd in hand, most of the time they wouldn't be able to start the situation at all.

In just two months, Alfred had 21 new wounds on his body, many wounds were just healed, and then burst open again due to the fierce fighting. Although this troop has dropped sharply from more than 9,000 people at the beginning to more than 6,000 people now, and even the veterans who came out with Sean from Tinders, there are only eleven left now, but Al Fred actually won the respect of this army.

The northern barbarians call him the chief minister, which is a respectful title second only to the unitary chief and the priest, and only those who are both strong and convinced by the northern barbarians will be called this way. The White Wing Mercenary Corps calls them the regiment leader. As a mercenary troupe, they don't know everything. Knowing that the new master they follow will become a lord, their status will rise and become a mercenary army. It's an official army, but they still like the mercenary regiment in the past, calling Alfred the commander instead of the general.

All of this was not made out of empty promises, but the result of seven life and death wanderings.

After inspecting the camp, Alfred returned to the back of the "camp".

This location is the best protected, the cold wind is difficult to blow here, even if there is, it will not be too piercing, and Xiao Xina sleeps here. The entire army also loves this cheerful girl, not just because she is Alfred's daughter, but also because even on the battlefield, this little girl never cries or makes noise, let alone will cause any trouble to the army.

Twice the outer line of defense was breached, and the enemy charged into the formation and swung knives to slaughter the young and old of the northern barbarians. Once, they even almost killed the little girl. But I don't know what happened afterwards. When a veteran rushed to rescue him desperately, what he finally saw was Hina holding a long sword in both hands, standing on the spot with a demonic face, and fell in front of her. Among them were an old man from the northern barbarians and three private soldiers who did not know which nobles they belonged to.

After this incident, Alfred blamed himself very much, but Xiao Xina turned around to comfort Alfred, and even said that she would become a soldier in the future. In the next three battles since then, Alfred has never let any enemy break through the line of defense, and what is more obvious is that Alfred's combat style has also become significantly more fierce, with one more A feeling of killing that never turns back.

"There is still one month." Alfred said in a low voice, "There is still one month before we can join Sean."

But at this moment, a sharp piercing sound suddenly sounded.

A wave of arrows rained down from nowhere, and then the ground could even be felt shaking. It was obvious that cavalry troops were charging!

"Enemy attack!"

The tragic roar instantly resounded throughout the cold night! ((To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
