Realm of Power

847 Greedy Snake (4)

The night was very bright, and the cold moonlight was flowing in the white sand-like floating clouds. A group of embarrassed Nord troops walked through the remote deserted castle. The dark ruins exuded a terrifying feeling in the dark night. In the cold, the Nord infantrymen carrying shields lined up and advanced silently. They were divided into four teams, numbering about 20,000. In the dark night, the light of the torches was like a long dragon winding through the mountains.

On their left hand, the place where the town was originally had collapsed. Some newly grown weeds remained on the jagged sharp stones. The dilapidated houses were only burned stones, with thatch and wooden frames on them. There is no simple door at all, only four empty walls.

The horse's hooves trampled on the nearby weeds, making a pleasant rustling sound. Stannis ordered the regiment to rest on the spot. The queue that had been marching for a day was like a crumbling fence, and a large piece suddenly fell down. One after another, the simple marching tents were destroyed by the soldiers. They quickly stood up,

Some soldiers ran to the wasteland of the house to look for wood to light a fire. Some soldiers didn't even bother to take off their armor and fell asleep in the tent. All kinds of weird snoring and noises were heard for a while. Laughter, like variations on a winter night, sounded in this dilapidated ruins, making it seem lively for a while.

"Tell Mr. Longke to send out scouts and pay close attention to the movements around you!" Stannis instructed the servants at the door, then opened his tent door, hung his heavy armor on the hanger, turned around and gave instructions to his guards "Go get a plate of hot water, I want to wash my face!"

"Sir, there is no water here!" the guard responded with an embarrassed look on his face. "There is only salt water here like sea water. If you use it to wash your face, the skin on your hands and face will peel off!"

"Okay, let's go get something hot." Stannis rolled up the long cuffs on his arms with some helplessness. It has been 20 days since he came to the coastal area to conquer the Falcon Army.

It is still difficult to adapt to the harsh environment here. Facing the vast sea, it is difficult to find drinking fresh water. Most villages only have a small number of wells. Although I can barely drink, it will be salty and bitter when swallowed. Many soldiers fell ill because they could not adapt to this environment.

The attrition of the army was increasing every day. In order to deal with this situation, Stannis could only order the sick soldiers to stay in the local area.

By the firelight in the tent, Stannis spread out the map in his hand on the table with a somewhat solemn expression. His eyes were looking for the current position on it, and his fingers were gently searching on the rough map made of sheepskin. With the reflection of the building outside, The afterimage of the lonely castle under the cold moonlight, Stannis quickly found his position.

Castle Morgon, five days ago, was a prosperous little castle, but the cunning Falcon Army sacked the place. As they had done before, the Falcon Army set fire to the houses in the town and destroyed the castle's defenses. , then patted his butt and walked away,

The only difference is that this time the Falcon Army is not taking a boat, but walking along the seaside road. This news is like a shot of chicken blood to the exhausted Stannis.

The despicable and shameless Falcon Army actually gave up its advantage at sea and took the wrong medicine this time. They actually headed towards Tiha along the spreading mountain road.

For the distressed Nord army, this is simply an eye-opener. It has come in a big circle. It turns out that the cunning opponent of the Falcon Army is still thinking about Tiha. This is like playing chess. The Falcon Army His intentions were completely seen through by himself,

Even Stannis himself felt that the most decisive decision he made in his life was to leave five thousand troops in Tihar.

Attack from both front and back!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The exhausted Stannis Army is following behind the Falcon Army like a cat that has smelled a fishy smell. In Stanis's thinking, this army has been entangled with him for more than half a month. The opponent, who could not be caught like a shadow, finally revealed a fatal flaw after being arrogant for half a month.

This time their marching route was so obvious that they didn't even have the most basic cover-up.

As long as I arrive at Tiha in time, I can cooperate with Tiha's 5,000 garrison to intercept and kill this guy who is causing chaos in the coastal area.

Encounters with each other became more and more frequent. On several occasions, the scouts from both sides even bumped into each other. From Moanke Town to Mo Gang now,

Following leisurely all the way, Stannis could already feel from the wind blowing in his face that he was getting closer and closer to the cunning opponent. As long as he stretched out his hand, he could kill this bold and cunning opponent. Cunning opponents grab, crush, and crush! Close enough to hear the opponent's heartbeat,

But Stannis knew that he had to be patient. Once he really disturbed the enemy, the enemy would quickly run back and fight back. At that time, all the efforts would be in vain.

He must wait, just like a hunter, for the Falcon Army to gradually move forward, and then jump into a trap called Tiha. A garrison of five thousand is enough to block the Falcon Army of only about 20,000 people from the city of Tiha.

On the other hand, Hu Lun Feilin, who was marching with five thousand Hu Lun troops, was looking at the starry sky above his head in a daze.

"There are two more points!" Hu Lunfeilin reluctantly took out the map in his arms, raised his hands high, and looked at the starry sky above his head. Sometimes this is also a good way to kill boring time.

The cold light of the cold moon shines on the map, revealing black "x"s. On this map, cities in the coastal areas of the Kingdom of Nord are marked. Next to each city, there are also numbers marked, from 1 to 35. If you use black charcoal to connect these dots, you will find that this irregular arrangement of numbers is exactly the order in which Hulen's army plundered the city.

Starting from Tiha and ending at Tiha,

The route of the Hullun tribe was to make a big circle and then go back. But coming back now was completely different from the landing raid. Hulun Feilin had an idea about the Nord army chasing after him. She felt like laughing because she remembered that before departure,

Someone visited the Hulun tribe in person and told himself personally: "Do you know there is an animal called a greedy snake? As long as you spread the food in a line, it will follow behind without hesitation. Follow your planned route! All you have to do is turn the Nord into a greedy snake... q!
