Chapter 8 Deadlock

Chapter 8 Stalemate

There had just been a spring rain, and several skylarks flew over from the sky screaming.

A small group of soldiers from the Smart Empire groped forward cautiously. They were ordered to patrol five miles away from the camp, but their camp was only ten miles away from the Silver Wolf Legion's camp. The edge of their patrol area happened to be

That is the patrol range of the Silver Wolf Legion. Both sides may come into contact at any time. How can we scare these soldiers of the Smart Empire who are not strong enough to fight alone?

Perhaps it confirms the saying, the more you are afraid of ghosts, the more ghosts will come to your door. They just turned around a small dirt bag and met a group of patrols from the Vant Empire in front of them. The difference between the two sides was immediately revealed.

Well, the soldiers of the Smart Empire turned around and ran back, while the patrols of the Vant Empire roared and chased after them quickly with their swords drawn. Especially a very tall young man, roaring loudly,

He grabbed a huge machete and chased him very fast.

Soon, this group of patrols from the Smart Empire was overtaken by the young man, and he chopped down the last soldier with a knife. The soldiers from the Smart Empire shouted, turned around, and slashed with their swords.

Go down, but the young man was quick and stopped the swords they chopped down one by one, and also took the time to chop down several of them. The soldiers of the Vant Empire also chased after them, and the Smart Army roared in unison and turned around.

They left, but there was no time? They were all overtaken by soldiers from the Vant Empire and felled to the ground.

Lei carefully cut off the heads of the Smart Empire soldiers and tied them together with a long rope. A veteran smiled and patted Lei on the shoulder, and praised: "Boy, that's not bad. It took three days.

You have killed more than fifty of them. Hey, I have been a soldier for ten years, and this is the first time I have seen a recruit like you. However, don't be too desperate, and be careful to protect yourself."

Lei smiled bitterly: "Uncle Al, I don't want to risk my life, but I can't keep calm when I see them... My brothers, my brothers, they all killed them. 530,000 people

Ah, uncle, they killed all 530,000 people in one night... Their faces are still bloody in front of me. I have to get some interest back for my brothers."

Al sighed, hugged Lei tightly, and murmured in a low voice: "God, if you really exist, why do you let this continent have so many wars... Oh my God, you are so young.

Young man, what have you turned into him?"

Lei grabbed the rope, pulled a dozen heads, and followed the team towards the camp. He smiled softly: "Haha, I have earned almost two hundred gold coins. Even if I can't go back, my mother can still take care of herself."

I will live the rest of my life. Bit, Ole... don't worry, you die here, I will not abandon you. You have never abandoned me, and I will be with you no matter what.

ah."

In the main camp of the Smart Empire, Karin sat on the commander's throne and shouted in surprise: "Oh my god, how is it possible that we lost five hundred patrols in three days? God, our Smart Empire's

The army is indeed known as the weakest garbage army in the mainland."

Carlin sighed there, ignoring the embarrassed expressions of the senior knights of the army. He continued to shout: "During the domestic exercises, I made a sneak attack at night and broke through the camp of three top knights in a row, but

I led an army of more than 100,000 people, but during a sneak attack, I did not break through the opponent's camp with less than 100,000 people. Could it be that I have become stupid? Or, is our commander too incompetent? But General Salin was in Vant

The empire is all good at fighting, so our soldiers are too incompetent, right?"

Carlin had a look of doubt on his face, but all the officers present were full of shame and indignation. However, what could they say? If Carlin's plan hadn't really confused the Vante Empire's army, the other side would have long ago

They suppressed the situation in a big way. Even if their early battle this time was so smooth, it was because the spies arranged by Carlin's father, the first prime minister of the empire, played a big role.

Karin simply raised his thighs on the desk in front of him, casually caressed the buttocks of the female mage next to him, grabbed an apple, took a bite, and said vaguely: "Okay, let's just waste a few days with them."

Days of time, and then began to increase the pressure, Karoka's army, tell them to set off, um, it's better to be louder, and be more arrogant along the way, um, every soldier should step hard for me,

Try to let the spies of the Vant Empire see their team from ten miles away."

Shalin nodded, and then asked: "Lord Karin, after Karoka's army arrives, should we join forces to attack them?"

Kalin unceremoniously spit out a piece of apple peel and almost spit it on Sarin. He muttered: "Assault? Do you want more people to die? Admiral Sarin, you must remember that one of our soldiers will die."

, but it’s just a pension of 100 gold coins. Damn it, I’m already heartbroken when more than a hundred patrols die every day. Do you want more people to die? Huh, wait until Karoka’s people arrive.

That’s my order...it’s strictly forbidden to go into battle before that, do you understand?”

Before Shalin took the order, Kalin muttered again: "Damn it, what are you doing by setting such a high pension? And you also clearly informed the soldiers, so I don't even have a chance to commit corruption."

The officers present were speechless and speechless.

Lei and a group of patrolling soldiers returned to the camp and handed the heads to the officer in charge of rewards and punishments. After counting the number, he received the reward, and then chopped the heads into pieces under the supervision of the officers before returning to his own home.

Sitting in his tent, Lei carefully calculated the bounty in his hand, walked out, found the quartermaster in charge of mailing the letter, and after paying three silver coins, asked him to send the gold coins back.

Kari Village.

Along with the gold coins, there was a letter. Lei thought about it for a long time before asking the quartermaster to write a short letter to the effect that everyone would be good in the army. These gold coins were earned by everyone together. Please join the army.

The villagers' families were equally divided. Of course, Ledo gave his mother twenty gold coins. According to normal years, these twenty gold coins were enough for his mother to live a good life for twenty years.

Knowing that Lei was the person recently appreciated by General Balu, the quartermaster carefully sealed the gold coins and letter paper in a package and coated it with thick paint. Lei watched in rapt attention as these things were handed to a special messenger

The soldier sighed and walked out of the quartermaster's tent sadly but peacefully.

Behind him, the quartermaster sighed and said: "Another little guy who has seen through life and death. Alas, I have been a quartermaster for thirty years. I bet that this little guy will not survive more than a year... A good person,

Why did it become like this?”

Lei heard the quartermaster's words, but did not make any sound. He tightly held the handle of the knife hanging at his waist and took a long breath. Although he was still very scared in his heart, he felt that this fear was very indifferent.

.In my seventeen-year-old life, I have put in a lot of effort for my family. Now that my mother has enough living expenses, I can work hard for my brother in the remaining life.

The goal is to kill Carlin.

Even if you are afraid, you probably have no way out, right? Are you escaping from the battlefield? The first person to order his death should be General Balu, who is strict in running the army, right?

Looking at the wilderness in front of him, Lei let out a heavy breath, grabbed the handle of the knife, and walked quickly towards the Chinese army's tent. If I heard correctly, reinforcements from several nearby lords had already arrived. It's really strange.

When Duke Greene was in trouble, they refused to rescue him. But now that Duke Greene's army is completely destroyed, Duke Greene has also fled to the imperial capital. The Smart Empire army is pressing on the border, but they are coming in a hurry one by one.

It's really strange.

Don't they know that if they join forces with Duke Green's army, they may have driven away the invading army?

Lei shook his head in confusion and walked towards the tallest tent. He is now General Balu's personal soldier, and he is the little hero who has killed the most enemies in recent times. When the soldiers on the road saw him, they all respectfully gave in.

He opened the way. Not because of his status as a personal soldier, but because he killed so many enemies. The only true Vant soldiers who can be respected by them are real soldiers.

Balu looked at the leaders of the reinforcements and sighed heavily in his heart, unable to speak at all. When Duke Greene was in danger, these guys didn't send a single soldier. Instead, they raised the price of urgently needed ordnance.

Adding insult to injury.

But now, when they knew that the army of Emperor Smart had approached Xili Province and were about to break through the last line of defense and enter the entire province, they became nervous. Three lords, hehe, actually sent out

There are a total of 180,000 reinforcements, and according to Balu's estimation, they are all elite soldiers with a certain combat effectiveness and have been trained for a long time.

Balu cursed in his heart: "These damn nobles are really too much. Even if the number of private armies is over-staffed, they are still such elites. What the hell is this? What the hell is this? Three

Each lord has 180,000 elite troops. The empire has 17 lords and 17 provinces are under the jurisdiction of the imperial capital. So how many troops do they have in total? Damn it, doesn't it mean that their military strength has exceeded that of the empire?

Are there any troops directly under the legion? Damn it, I must advise Your Majesty to weaken their authority, otherwise, it will pose a threat to the rule of the empire."

Of course, Balu couldn't say that on the surface. He smiled kindly at the leading nobles and said, "On behalf of the empire, I would like to thank you for your timely assistance. This time, as long as we intercept the opponent's army in place, we will

What a great achievement. Our goal is not to eliminate many of the opponent's people, but to restrain the opponent from advancing into the hinterland of Xili Province and drag them with them, waiting for our reinforcements to arrive. I have already requested the three most elite legions in the imperial capital to come for reinforcements.

, come to think of it, no matter how many troops the Smart Empire dispatches, they can't be our opponent, right?"

All the knights stood up and shouted loudly: "Yes, hold on to the end."

These nobles are simply bursting with joy. As long as an army of more than 200,000 people stands firm, who can shake such a powerful camp? Even if the Smart Empire comes with an army of nearly 400,000 people,

They will definitely not be the opponents of so many elite Vant Emperor ** teams. Although the magicians of the Smart Empire are a terrifying existence, they have brought all the magicians in the three territories who are specialized in dealing with magicians.

There are more than a hundred crossbows in total, and magicians don't have to worry about them at all.

As a result, everyone cheered, and even Balu smiled. In any case, even if the emperor does not send reinforcements, there is absolutely no reason for failure, right?

All the military power of the four provinces is concentrated here, which is enough to compete with the military power of the entire Smart Empire. This also proves that the military power of the Fante Empire is unparalleled in the world. Hehe, if it weren't for the magicians of the Smart Empire being too powerful

Well, the Vant Empire has already annexed the Smart Empire, so who will sign an alliance treaty with them?

It was another sunrise, early in the morning, and a group of about 5,000 soldiers of the "Silver Wolf Legion" walked out of the camp in a mighty manner and rushed toward Emperor Smart's camp. At the front,

A fifth-level silver knight shouted loudly: "Haha, warriors of the Smart Empire, come on and fight against us. Come on, come on, let's fight."

There was silence in the Smart Empire's camp, and no one spoke, including Sarin. According to the regular knight code, the so-called duel means sending corresponding troops to compete with the opponent one-on-one. Sarin roared in a low voice.

: "Damn it, sending 5,000 Smart Emperors to fight against 5,000 Vant troops? Am I a fucking lunatic? No lunatic would do such a thing."

Looking back at the frightened Smart soldiers, Shalin sighed: "Damn it, if the army I trained is 10,000 people here, no, no, as long as 5,000 people are enough, I can do it

Teach this bastard a lesson. How dare a fifth-level silver knight be so arrogant? Unless..."

The sun's rays shone on the soldiers' armor, reflecting dazzling rays of light. Shalin and the others suddenly discovered some golden reflections. They stared at them, but they saw about two hundred high-level knights, including about thirty

The Vant Cavalry, including the Golden Knights, followed the 5,000-strong cavalry at a distance. Balu waved the strange-shaped long sword in his hand easily, and walked impressively at the front.

Shalin's idea of ​​sending out all the high-level knights to give the opponent a show of strength was abandoned. Just kidding, more than 200 high-level knights from the Vante Empire would require a full 600 high-level knights from the Smart Empire.

To deal with it, where could he mobilize so many people at once?

Carlin looked at his subordinate generals dissatisfied, and simply flew into the sky with a dozen senior mages. He used his magic power and roared: "Knights of Vant, don't be too proud, I, Count Carlin

, I challenge you here. Come on, you can become a high-level knight, and I will fight against you... I think you mages from the Vante Empire will never dare to fight against me, right?"

Balu burst out laughing: "Kard Carlin, do you think I'm just playing a game? This is war. Whoever fights you one-on-one? Damn it, if you are a hero, just send out a brigade to have fun with my people.

If you are afraid, you can send a team of ten thousand people. I accept this condition... Haha, as long as you don't feel embarrassed... Don't worry, I won't laugh at your timid knights.

Don’t worry about losing your reputation, hahaha.”

Kalin gritted his teeth angrily. But Balu had already stopped drinking: "Kalin, if you insist on a one-on-one battle, am I afraid of you again? Come on, come on, since we want to fight, now

Just get started.”

Thick white fighting energy emerged from Balu's body, and he slowly floated up. The strange-shaped sword in his hand made a roaring sound and emitted a dazzling black light.

Kalin was extremely angry and was about to rush forward, but several high-level mages desperately held him back. A wizard who was old enough to be Kalin's grandfather shouted angrily: "Master Kalin, you have to pay attention, your life is on the line."

The entire army is even more precious. Is your noble body meant to fight against such a reckless man?"

Kalin was furious and just about to speak, Balu's rumbling voice had already come to mind, and the strong wind was blowing around his body. He roared: "Little Carlin, since you don't dare to challenge, why don't you go back?"

Karin yelled and rushed back to the camp angrily. After angrily punching and kicking the soldiers on the road, he got into the tent.

The Vante Empire's army roared: "Ha, ha, ha." The sound was so loud that it shook the entire camp of Emperor Smart's army.

Shalin was so angry that he bit his lip, but Balu's eyes were already fixed on him: "Shalin, my old friend, do you want to fight me? After a while in the imperial capital, I interrupted you.

A rib, ha, do you still want to fight me? I formally challenge you, use your blood to protect your honor, do you dare?"

Shalin roared angrily, almost bursting into tears. He stared at Balu and rushed into the tent.

Emperor Smart's morale was so weak that he could no longer raise his head.

Lei in the queue looked at Balu, who was like a god of war, and was so admired that he was speechless. One person forced two commanders of the other side not to dare to challenge openly. He must be proud enough, right? The more Lei thought about it, the more he became speechless.

Excited, the soldiers around him roared loudly. Lei vaguely felt in his heart that if he wanted to become a formal soldier, he should be like Balu no matter what, right?

Balu snorted coldly, fell back on his horse, and ordered: "Archers, fire three volleys, and then retreat." His order was loud, and all the Smart Army heard it clearly. So, the Smart Army

They all held up their shields. Sure enough, after three bursts of arrows, the Vant army slowly retreated. This time, although no one in the Smart army was injured, their morale was reduced to the extreme.

The Vant Army retreated slowly, and the Smart Army stared at them blankly, unable to speak anymore. Although they had taken a big advantage in the battle a while ago, but thinking about it, all they defeated were those who

What kind of army? Now that they encountered the truly elite Vant Army, Smart's soldiers discovered that they were so vulnerable.

Balu sighed on his horse: "Well, if the other side didn't have more than 10,000 magicians accompanying the army, I would dare to order the charge now. What a pity... If our Vante Empire also had such a powerful team of magicians...

well."

One day passed, and the next day, the Vant Army continued to challenge, but the Smart Army still did not dare to challenge... Three days, four days, five days...

Carlin stood in the tent, listening to the howling of the Vant Army outside, and cursed in a low voice: "Be happy, be happy, damn Vant Army, damn Smart Soldiers... Hum, be happy,

How long can you be happy? The lords of those three provinces should have relaxed their vigilance now, right? It should be time to call Karoka and the others over."
