"Your Majesty, the enemy is very tenacious. We may not be able to attack here for a while. Moreover, we can only attack from one side, which severely limits our numerical advantage. Please make a decision whether to go around or continue the attack!"
In the meeting tent, a noble officer said to Mayweather, and other officers immediately responded:
"Yes, Your Majesty, being unable to attack for a long time has had a certain impact on morale!"
"I know, let's take a detour. Let's go east. The small fortress there is much smaller than this city and is easier to capture. But we have to speed up. The battle report from the front line has come back. Considering the speed of carrier pigeons, Roderite's
The vanguard should have walked almost half of the way. I didn't expect that he could actually take back Jianmen Fort so quickly. The guy under him is indeed very powerful, and he has been pestering us for so long!
Pass the order, the troops will be dispatched tomorrow morning, march quickly across the bridge, and then go straight to Fort Bugson. We must speed up. If we are blocked by Roderite's support troops, we will lose more than half of our initiative.
!”
Mayweather said with his chin tilted, his slightly older face a little gloomy. He was also a little worried now. Aldridge's tenacious fighting ability made him no longer as confident as he was at the beginning, and the nervousness had sneaked up on him.
Early the next morning, Mayweather's troops began to move out of camp before dawn. The defenders on the Strahan wall immediately discovered the movements of Mayweather's troops and went directly to Aldridge.
Reported.
The characteristics of his body mean that although Aldridge also needs to eat and rest, the demand is much smaller than that of ordinary people. Aldridge only needs to sleep less than four hours a day to be energetic. If it is extreme, he may even
You can maintain it for nearly two weeks without sleeping or eating, before your body's functions will decline.
"Sir, the enemy troops have withdrawn from the city!"
The messenger walked up to Aldridge who was practicing sword practice in the yard and said. Aldridge suddenly exerted force and cut the half-meter-thick wooden stake in front of him into two pieces with one sword. Then Aldridge took back the long sword.
Inside the sheath, he turned around and said:
"They should have taken a detour to Fort Burgson. Fort Burgson is a small castle and is more difficult to resist their attack, although it will take nearly a week to travel.
Call the cavalry troops to assemble. I will take the cavalry troops and the soldiers to support you. You continue to stay here. When I am away, Batum will be responsible for commanding all matters in the city!"
After Aldridge finished speaking, he began to walk outside the castle. Because there were too many war horses, the stables in the castle could not accommodate them, so most of the knights' mounts were placed in the stables close to the city gate. His black
Ray is there too.
Batum is a new nobleman promoted by Bornhard. He was just a wandering knight whose family was in decline. Later, he joined Ronan's army when Ronan expanded his army. He participated in several battles with the army and accumulated a lot of experience.
After sufficient military exploits, he was favored by Bornhard, promoted to viscount, and allowed to lead the noble army to assist Aldrich in defending the north.
The troops gathered quickly. After the troops were assembled, Aldridge did not wait much. He said a few words to Batum, who came over, and then led the cavalry troops out of the city, followed closely by the ghoul kings.
.
Batum, who is just thirty years old this year, is very young, with a neat beard, and his appearance is in line with the aesthetics of Gaoling women. In addition, he is a knight, so before joining the Ronan Army to seek development, he had always relied on aristocratic ladies.
Living is considered nourishing.
Batum admires the powerful Aldridge very much, and he can be said to obey Aldridge's words. He is a die-hard fan of Aldridge. Even with his shameless face, he succeeded in getting Aldridge to accept him as his apprentice, and he and Aldridge
He learned the skills of one-handed sword and shield. Although he was very talented, he also learned a lot of swordsmanship that Aldridge gave him when Aldridge was still a Templar knight.
Watching Aldridge leave, Batum looked serious. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he personally commanded an army of more than 4,000 people, so he was quite nervous. He was afraid that there would be nothing but mistakes on his part, so he secretly made up his mind.
, we must defend this city and not let Aldridge down.
Aldridge led the cavalry troops as they galloped along Luanhe, trying to reach the river-crossing bridge in another territory before dark, with the ghoul kings running quickly behind them.
The corpse king's previous battles were all about stability, basically moving step by step, but now he is running wildly in heavy armor, and his speed is no less than that of the cavalry's horses. The most important thing is that they are not
Will be tired.
Aldridge arrived at the river-crossing bridge in Modian Territory before dark as he wished. This bridge has been built for more than a hundred years, but it still stands over the Luan River and is extremely strong.
The bridge deck is about ten meters wide and about fifty meters long. It can accommodate six rows of cavalry passing through at the same time. The load-bearing capacity is also very strong. The caravans pulling many goods can pass collectively on it without reaching its limit.
After crossing the bridge across the river, Aldridge rested in an abandoned outpost, mainly to let the cavalrymen who had been running around for a day rest.
Aldridge's distance to Fort Bugson is actually farther than Mayweather's, but his advantage is that he is all cavalry, and his speed is much faster than Mayweather's. No matter how fast Mayweather marches, he has two legs.
Even the four-legged ones can't run. It's not like their entire army is a monster like the King of Corpses. If they were, Aldridge would have surrendered long ago. There would be no need to fight. Give Aldridge a thousand corpses.
Ghost King, he is confident that he will directly push Mayweather's Northern Kingdom.
After a night's rest, Aldridge continued to lead the troops and began to march towards the location of Fort Burgson. The road ahead for him would be easier than Mayweather's, at least there were no mountain roads.
After walking for a few more days, Aldridge finally arrived at Fort Burgson. At this time, only some local noble soldiers were stationed in Fort Burgson. After seeing the flag of Aldridge's army coming from the south, the walls of the city were
The officer directly ordered the door to be opened.
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
The owner of Fort Bugson said that the environment around Bugson is not good. Although his territory is large, there are basically no residents. He can only make a living by collecting tolls from passing caravans. Since the war,
The business path here has been cut off, and his life has not been very good. At this time, he is both hopeful and a little worried about Aldridge's arrival.
"It's nothing, it's just that Mayweather is about to attack, I'll help you defend him!"
