Chapter 50 Battle of Glen Highlands

Herman Barkley is coming with force, but Idar seems to be prepared.

When he led the knights and roared into a village in the control area of ​​​​the Idar Territory in the Glen Highlands, he regretfully found that the village was empty.

The serfs in the village had long been moved away by Old Ford, leaving only some lonely thatched houses.

In this way, Herman Buckley "conquered" three or four deserted villages in succession, which obviously annoyed him.

It was already afternoon since entering the Glen Highlands in the morning, and Herman Barkley did not even see the shadow of the Idar soldiers.

"These cowardly Idar people! These cowards running around! Don't they even have the courage to fight us head-on?" Herman Barkley cursed.

"Sir... we have now arrived at the southernmost tip of the Glen Highlands. If we go further, we will soon leave the Glen Highlands..."

"What do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush!" Herman Barkley glanced at him sideways and said.

"Should we rest here for a night first, and then wait until tomorrow to march directly to Idar City in the south?" the adjutant suggested.

Even riding a horse from the Glen Highlands to the city of Idar would take a whole day, not to mention that the army led by Sauron only had more than fifty cavalry, and hundreds of civilian soldiers seriously slowed down Herman Barkley's advance. speed.

"These damn civilians, they are all lazy bastards! They have dragged down all my arrangements!" Although Herman Barkley was arrogant, he was not a fool.

Therefore, although he hoped to fight Idar as soon as possible, he could only accept the advice of his adjutant.

And if they leave the Glen Highlands and advance south now, they will enter the plains without any cover, which will be extremely disadvantageous to the Sauron army.

Moreover, in this era, soldiers generally had insufficient vitamin intake. Almost most soldiers could barely fill their stomachs, and most of them had some symptoms of night blindness. Night marching was almost impossible.

Therefore, instead of continuing the march at the risk of being attacked by the Idars, it is better to set up camp again based on the favorable terrain and wait until tomorrow to make plans. Anyway, the Glen Highlands have been trampled under their feet.

Although it is already early spring, the wind in the Glen Highlands is still extremely cold. After all, the altitude is high here, and the surroundings are bare and there is no shelter.

The knights were lucky. Not only did they have thick clothes, but they were also able to live in huts abandoned by the Idars, so they could sleep well.

But this was a hardship for the civilian soldiers. Naturally, they could not enjoy the treatment of the noble lords. They could only stand next to each other, shivering in the cold wind.

After casually eating some dry food that I brought with me, I huddled together and fell asleep half-awake in the cold wind. I would be woken up by the cold from time to time during the night.

By the next morning, two or three civilian soldiers had frozen to death due to hunger and cold.

This undoubtedly made Herman Buckley extremely angry. Even the Idar people did not see it, and there were already casualties on his own. This was simply a big joke.

As a result, Herman Buckley immediately ordered his troops to march southward, crossing the Highlands and continuing to march southward.

…

There is an unknown town between Grand Highlands and Idar City. It has always acted as a transit station between Grand Highlands and Idar City.

Now, three hundred infantry (standing army) and fifty cavalry (guards) have been gathering here for a long time, waiting for the arrival of the army led by Sauron.

Bruno's war goal was very clear, to annihilate the invading enemies in one fell swoop and seize the opportunity to counterattack Sauron.

It is precisely for this consideration that Bruno set the battlefield here.

The reason why he did not engage in a head-on battle with Sauron's army in the Gran Highlands was that Bruno hoped to lure the enemy deeper and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, thereby avoiding leaks and letting the fish slip through the net.

Moreover, the nights in the Glen Highlands are extremely cold. Camping in the Glen Highlands will significantly reduce the combat effectiveness of civilian soldiers, but... noble generals like Herman Buckley obviously will not realize this.

After all, his arrogance as a noble made him habitually ignore the feelings of common people.

The commander of Idar's army was Sam Leighton, and Bruno, accompanied by Lister, went to the Cape Saltworks for an "inspection."

Although Bruno knew that he had a high chance of winning,... a gentleman would not stand in danger. If there was any emergency, there were still fifty personal guards in the Cape Saltworks who could guarantee his safety.

Finally, at noon, the Sauron army led by Herman Barkley appeared in Sam Layton's sight.

Naturally, Herman Buckley also saw the Idar army in the distance.

"These timid Idar people finally appeared!" The moment he saw the Idar people, Herman Buckley laughed excitedly.

The battlefield of both sides was in a plain area, so the number of troops on both sides could be estimated at a glance. Herman Buckley saw that his side's numerical advantage was extremely obvious, and he felt that victory was within his grasp.

However, although I feel that I have a chance to win, I still need to take the necessary steps...

"Adjutant! Let the civilian soldiers line up! The civilian soldiers are in front, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The personal guards are behind, and the knights are guarding the two wings, ready to charge!!"

"yes!"

Obviously, seeing that his own army had a clear advantage, the adjutant's voice became eager to try.

On the other side, Sam Layton had long been gearing up for these unknown Sauron-led troops.

Not just him, every soldier in the standing army has been looking forward to this battle for a long time!

The high-intensity training every day makes them eager to experience a real battle to prove themselves, not to mention, the reward offered by Bruno is too generous!

Even if they unfortunately die in battle, their families will receive high pensions, which gives them no worries.

On the other hand, the soldiers on the opposite side were all haggard and looked like they had been forcibly driven to fight by the noble knights. Compared with the standing army, there was a huge difference in the way they were dressed.

Krell tightened his grip on his weapon and stood in the line.

This was his first time on the battlefield. Although his palms were a little sweaty due to nervousness, he did not feel the slightest fear.

This war is to protect the territorial integrity of Idar and to protect the interests of all Idar people!

Therefore, not only Krell, but every soldier has no fear in his heart!

"Attack!" Herman Barkley yelled.

As Sauron's army gradually moves forward, the war that both sides have been waiting for has finally begun!
