The 6th Squadron suffered a lot of casualties and was transferred to Harden Castle by Captain Sharp to rest. Along with them, there were dozens of wounded soldiers from the 8th Squadron.
Harden Castle is thirty kilometers west of the Platos Mountains, forming an obtuse triangle with Flame Castle and Platos Castle.
The Platos fortress group is in the front, and Harden Castle is already in the rear. The castle is now garrisoned by the second-line city defense force.
After the Sixth Squadron was transferred, with Baron Harden's warrant, the city defense army immediately deployed additional soldiers into the organic system. This batch of supplementary soldiers was of high quality and looked capable and strong. Two soldiers were already advanced warrior trainees, enough to serve as
Junior officers.
There is also a master archer whose archery level has reached level three, and can barely control the enchanted crossbow to kill enemies.
It seems that this batch of supplementary soldiers should be carefully selected. It is now a wartime situation, and the Sixth Squadron still has the order of Baron Harden, the supreme commander of the defense line. The city defense army does not dare to neglect and use new recruits to fool them.
Prevent the Sixth Squadron from reporting to superiors and holding them accountable.
After the reinforcements came in, the Sixth Squadron enriched its organizational structure. When the injured returned to the team, they could continue to form two squads to complete the organizational structure.
Ron is a junior officer and will be treated by the priest first after the battle.
After using the treatment technique, most of the injury has recovered, and I can now carry out normal activities. If I continue to rest for about ten days, I will almost be fully recovered.
In this battle, Richard killed two professionals and gained 2,500 experience points.
"It seems that killing miscellaneous soldiers will not increase my experience. I don't know if I will increase my experience by killing professionals who are lower than me after my level increases?"
Richard thought to himself and silently opened the properties panel.
In the past few days, Richard has been training hard, and his experience in various skills has increased slightly. However, there is still a long way to go to advance.
Especially the breathing method, which is related to professional level, has just begun to be practiced.
If you practice the breathing method step by step, it may take two to three years to advance.
A professional's combat effectiveness mainly depends on attributes, equipment and skills.
As the career level increases, attributes are mainly increased. A good breathing method will have a slightly larger bonus to attributes after advancement, and there will also be a special fighting spirit attribute killing effect.
Even if the breathing method of the Mad Lion Legion is not as good as the top breathing method in the Morning Continent, the difference is not too big, and the overall evaluation is already top-notch.
It is rumored that the breathing methods practiced by the three northern armies are all the breathing methods treasured by the royal family of Grand Duke Stanik.
A hundred years ago, a brutal internal struggle broke out in the Principality of Stanik. The Jonathan family was ousted from power by the country's major nobles and exiled to their in-laws, the Kingdom of Grant, and became the current Duke Jonathan family.
The heritage of the Jonathan family has also been handed over to the Grant royal family. This includes advanced breathing techniques.
The Grant royal family used these three breathing methods to mobilize some resources to establish three main legions and devoted them to the northern frontier development war.
The Dukedom of Jonathan, the territories of the three northern provinces, and the fortress at the southern foot of the Eagle Mountains are all spoils of victory in the pioneering war a hundred years ago.
Richard is now in a war, and the most important thing is to increase his combat effectiveness.
Adding 2500 experience points to the breathing method has no effect on improving combat effectiveness.
The top priority is to improve various skills. Archery, which is most helpful in combat, has been upgraded to the fourth level and cannot be upgraded for the time being.
The only thing that can be upgraded now is the basic fighting skills of the Northern Legion.
Richard gained 1,500 experience points in the Northern Army's fighting skills, and the attribute panel immediately changed.
Fortunately, Richard spent all the remaining one thousand experience points on the Mad Lion Legion Breathing Technique. These one thousand experience points were equivalent to a month of hard training for Richard.
After adding killing experience, Richard's attribute panel becomes.
For some time since then, the Sixth Squadron has been resting in Haden Castle, and Richard began to adapt to the third-level basic fighting skills to avoid being embarrassed by unfamiliar skills on the battlefield.
In this way, the Sixth Squadron spent ten days of leisurely time.
Suddenly, Richard received news from the front that the orc army had once again launched an attack on the Platos fortress complex.
This time, there were as many as two and a half brigades of orcs attacking the city. Except for the brigades that were crippled last time, the other two were all fresh troops.
In this siege, the orc army did not take risks and chose to fight steadily.
In the past two or three days, the fighting on the front has been very tense.
Richard found that the number of wounded soldiers withdrawn from the front line had increased significantly, and the total number of wounded soldiers exceeded 300.
Among the wounded were members of Baron Harden's Cavalry Regiment.
Through talking with the wounded, Richard heard that Baron Harden once again led a team to charge into the battle, killing the sixth-level orc commander, defeating the main orc brigade, and then stabilized the battle line and repelled the orcs.
After two defensive operations, the Eighth Battalion had suffered a total of 400 casualties. Although no ground was lost on the front line, relying on the Eighth Battalion to hold on, it was already difficult to support the defense line.
The orcs also began to cross the Platos Mountains and began to penetrate into the Barony of Harden.
The news ahead is constantly changing.
One moment it was said that Baron Harden was preparing to abandon the Platos Castle complex, and the next it was said that Baron Harden was insisting on holding on and waiting for reinforcements.
Whether it was true or false, the wounded soldiers who retired had everything they said. Even Richard, who was personally present at the battle, was a little confused.
In the baron's castle, in addition to the sixth squadron, there are several city defense squadrons stationed there. In addition, Baron Harden also left several officers behind, leading a part of the serf army to protect his family.
Not only did the city defense army have no enchanted equipment, but each squadron only had a dozen soldiers who practiced breathing techniques. The backbone of the city defense army was drawn from the city defense army to supplement the sixth squadron, but they were left exhausted.
Several squadrons put together cannot defeat one squadron of the main army.
Even if the Sixth Squadron had just completed its replenishment, a single charge led by Richard could defeat hundreds of city defense troops.
The combat effectiveness of the city defense army was already very poor, and what was even worse were the serf soldiers.
The serf soldiers in the castle are not even fully equipped with weapons. Many of them carry hoes, dung forks, armors, and very few bows and arrows. Except for a few officers who look good, they are useless. Facing the attack of the orcs, they will not be able to fight in the field.
It has no effect at all and can only be used to defend the city.
