"arrive!"

Looking at the white horse flag flying on the city wall in the distance, Sawyah and Filina both showed their own smiles: It's time to go home.

The flags hanging on the city wall were obviously newly replaced, and there were traces of magic bombardment on the bricks and stones of the city walls. The walkways on the outer city walls were even replaced with new slabs, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding gray-black bricks and stones.

"It seems that the battle was very bad."

Sawyer smacked his lips, but heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Yes, even I was almost wiped out."

"Divo?!"

Saoya suddenly turned around, looked at the old friend who had not seen for a long time with a look of surprise, and smiled and joked, "Why, you didn't pay all the Yin Yan in, right?"

"How is that possible!" Divo smiled and punched Saoya, then saw the hand holding Saoya and the girl: "Yoyo, Zhan is very quick! By the way, do you two have..."

bump!

The hand axe hit Divo on the head with a leather hood, smashing back what Divo hadn't said.

"Go to die!"

Feilina was holding the axe in one hand and preparing to do a few more strokes, but the other hand was pulled tightly by Soya. If Soya hadn't been able to increase her physique recently, she might have been dragged away by Filina long ago.

Just as the group was making a fuss at the city gate, there was silence in the Longxiao Palace Hall.

"Hognard, is the news confirmed?"

The lord, the great Balguff, sat upright on the throne, but not his usual luxurious robe, but had a complete set of Nord steel armor, and his hand axe hung on the armrest on one side. The sharp edge of the polished blade showed its sharpness.

"The Storm Cloak Pioneer Army from the East has been stationed outside the Black Forest and has not clashed with the Black Wizard Students in the Almo Fortress."

Hognard glanced at the information in his hand and added: "There are about two thousand regular troops and three thousand simple training reserves."

"What about the military force statistics in the territory?" Balguff rubbed his forehead and asked again.

"Excluding the forces of Earl Heddle, Xueman now has a total of 5,000 regular troops, two thousand each of Baiwang Tower and Valsem Tower Fortress, and three thousand in the city."

Hognard paused and continued: "In addition, 12,000 recruits in winter have reached the level of reserve after training. They are stationed in Xueman City and two front-line towers, and 500 people each in the western post tower and the gray swamp fortress. In addition, there are various mercenaries and mercenary groups, equivalent to 3,000 elite troops and 10,000 regular troops!"

"In other words, we have a total of 4,000 elite troops and 15,000 regular troops now?" Balguff smiled slightly, and a suppressed domineering aura came out again: "Avensi!"

"Here!" Xueman General Manager Awenxi hurriedly stepped forward.

"Write a letter to Ulfric, and attach the military statistics in the territory, telling him that, in view of his past relationship, if he retreats, I can leave the army without any consequences. If he is obsessed with it..." Balguff suddenly laughed: "I will lead my army to siege the Eastern Territory!"

Listening to the lord's domineering declaration, Avensi also trembled all over, said loudly "understand", turned around and left, with a hint of sonorous meaning in his steps!

"Nodia!"

"The last one will be here!"

Nodia took a step forward. Since resisting the robber siege, Nodia's status has also risen all the time. Now among the many generals, its status is second only to the Countess Celica and Hognard. If the military power in his hands is included, even Hognard will be ranked under him!

"You bring half of the mercenaries and mercenaries to the Valsem Tower to garrison. If Ulfric's men are not honest, I think you know what to do, right?"

"It will definitely make him come and go!"

Nodia responded with a murderous look on her face, and after saluting Balguff again, she also turned around and left Longxiao Palace.

Subsequently, Balgoff arranged several generals to go to the Baiwang Tower to prevent the Baidi army from raiding from the north. He also sent people to send messages to Ximu Town and Loristide, so that the garrisons of the two towns could be stepped up to prevent their allies from stabbing them in the back.

The tense atmosphere lasted for more than half an hour, and it was not until Balgoff completed the recent strategic arrangement that the atmosphere in the hall was relaxed.

For this war, Balgoff almost squandered the money of the entire territory. Not only did he recruit 12,000 new soldiers with his territory, but he also summoned all the mercenaries and large mercenaries from the nine major territories, and then he gathered this huge army.

Lead the enemy country!

Moreover, if the 30,000 troops led by Xueman meet the 30,000 troops newly recruited by Ulfric, Balguff is even sure to have an annihilation battle! And it can also ensure that the battle loss ratio is lower than one to three, and one to five is not impossible!

However, being able to gather so many strong troops is thanks to the robber siege incident last year.

After clearing out the robbers in the territory, refugees, refugees and even ordinary residents from surrounding territories flocked to Xuemanling, almost doubled the population of the entire Xuemanling. This is one of the reasons why Xuemanling can recruit more than 10,000 new recruits at one time.

Moreover, the robbers siege also opened up Balguff's ideas. While other territories were still racking their brains to lead the people to join the army, Balguff first took over the mercenaries and mercenary groups. With the wealth accumulated over the years, he directly recruited the mercenaries and mercenary groups from the nine major territories. Even after the news came out, several famous mercenaries from neighboring provinces also came to the news and devoted themselves to the rich Balguff's command.

However, this also led to the other lords' thoughts on the mercenaries and mercenary groups, but they found that all the mercenaries and mercenary groups in their territory had run to Xueman. After a lot of kung fu, they summoned thousands of miscellaneous troops, and their combat effectiveness was not even as good as reserves.

After scolding Balguff, these lords were helpless. Not to mention that Balguff had joined the imperial camp, relying on Xueman to lead a huge military force, it would not be possible for them, such as the "little country lords".

Just as Balgoff was joking with the few remaining nobles and waiting for the dinner to begin, Nodya hurried back.

"Nody...Lord Sawyer?!"

As soon as Balgoff spoke, he saw the guy following Nodya. His confused expression instantly turned into a surprise: "Haha! Sawyer, it's the right time for you to come back!"

Although Balgoff doesn't see Soya's strength very much, and does not know Soya's overall view and military literacy, he understands Soya's background and is even more aware that Soya is a lucky general!

Since Saoya appeared in his vision, almost every mission was successfully completed in a strange posture, and the reputation of Saoya and Xueman also spread to the entire sky. If Saoya came back to participate in this battle...

A deep ambition gradually recovered in Balgoff's heart, as if he could see the deepest ambition in Balgoff's heart. Sawyer took a step forward and took out a scroll and handed it to the guard commander Iriles.

Balgoff did not see any significance when he took the scroll from Yiriles, but Farenjia, who was standing by listening, his pupils shrank and he couldn't help but shout out: "Large group blessing the scroll!!!"

“What large reel?”

Balguff didn't hear it clearly, but he still read the importance of this scroll from Farenjia's expression.

"Large group blessing scroll, Lord Lord." Sawyer repeated with a smile: "This picture can bless the iron armor technique to a thousand soldiers, and the spell effect can last for an hour, which is enough to complete a battle."

Iron Armor Technique: Increase 1oo points of protection for the target, increase the target's frost resistance by 3o% additionally, and bear weight by 6o points for two hours, or disappear after absorbing 2ooo points of damage.

When Balgoff learned about the effect of the Iron Armor Technique, his chin was so surprised that he almost dropped, with a total of 100 points of armor! This is already the protection of a set of advanced armor!

Not to mention that there is still 30% frost resistance and 60 points of load. The former can make soldiers ignore the extremely cold weather in the north, while the latter can make soldiers reduce their physical energy and their ability to sustain combat is at least doubled!

It can be said that if this scroll goes down, it can completely create a thousand battlefield tanks!

"This... Lord Sawyer, this kind of scroll..." Balguff appropriately revealed a hint of doubt. If there were enough scrolls, it would be impossible to unify the sky and become the Supreme King of the Sky!

"This is my master, Master Tovdir gave it to me." Soya pretended to be confused with understanding. Not only did he not answer Tovdir's question, he instead pulled out Tovdir's tiger skin.

"Master Tovdir?"

Balguff only felt that the name was familiar. After Farenjia came up and explained it, he was shocked and a trace of greed in his heart disappeared.

Balgoff changed into a kind smile: "Lord Sawyer, are you interested in leading troops?"

"Lead the troops?" Sawyer looked unexpected, but he had already smiled in his heart. He lowered his head and waited for a few seconds before looking up again: "I'd like to fight for Xueman!"

"Okay!" Balguff patted the handrail and shouted, as if he was very satisfied, but he cursed in his heart. At this time, he still didn't understand that Sawyer was asking for benefits!

"Then..." Balgoff pondered for a while, but finally gave up his plan to put Sawyer in small shoes: "You can lead an elite army!"

"This... Sawyer will definitely live up to the lord's high expectations!"

Sawyer was stunned for a moment, and Xun changed into a serious and determined expression. Balgoff's heavy responsibility was also moved by his character. Of course, it was more of a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Chapter completed!
