Lord of Hyranza

The evil ghost warrior drank the blood of the horse, and when it raised its head, the messenger grabbed the saddle with both hands, flew up and rode on Gu Bolai's horse, and galloped southwest along the cliff of the canyon.

Leaving the ghost warrior behind, he quickly disappeared.

At this time, the ghost warriors who were chasing up from behind also gave up their pursuit. After slowing down, they gathered around the dying horse, cutting and eating the bloody horse meat with their war blades.

The messenger rode his horse, not daring to turn his head, and ran south along the canyon.

After going around for a long time, he came to the gate of the West Route Army camp. His body was covered with mud, water and blood, and he was crumbling on his horse...

After he showed his identity tag, the guard at the gate of the camp did not make things difficult for the messenger and took him directly to the camp.

He was planning to take him to the medical team for a bandage, but the envoy insisted on seeing Suldak first, so the guards at the camp gate had to take the envoy to the north wall.

Soon, the messenger was brought to the north wall of the stronghold by the camp guards.

There is still fighting on the north wall.

Countless ghost warriors climbed up from below against the rain of arrows.

The city wall was almost full of heavy armored infantry soldiers. Through the heavy human wall, one could vaguely see the battle on the top of the city. The sound of shouting and killing, the roar of evil ghost soldiers, and the clash of swords were almost connected together.

He could also vaguely see a constructed knight, leading a group of heavy armored infantry fighters, fighting with the ghost fighters climbing up from under the wall.

Behind him appeared the phantom of an archangel, which was extremely eye-catching on the city wall.

……

Suldak put the Kurwin sword in his hand into the scabbard and put away the gold shield in his hand. His body was stained with viscous purple blood, and his whole body was full of a stench.

I don't know how many evil spirits died in his hands, and the evil spirits below the city wall are still coming up.

In the past two days, the number of times that General Evil Ghost has ascended to the top of the city has gradually decreased.

It was also for this reason that Suldak walked down the city wall at this time.

He took a warm towel from an adjutant beside him, took off his hat and handed it to the adjutant beside him, then covered his face with the warm towel, and after applying it for a while, he wiped it carefully. A young and determined face.

"You want to see me?" Suldak put down the towel, put the helmet on his head again, and asked the messenger sent by the reinforcements.

The courier looked distressed, covered in dust and blood, and seemed to know that he had suffered a lot along the way.

The messenger stood in front of Suldak, and saluted Suldak as a standard noble knight.

He said very seriously:

"Lord Earl Suldak, I bring greetings from Marquis Valentine Heller."

Suldak glanced at him indifferently, the heavy armored infantry under the city wall made way for Suldak, and Suldak walked all the way towards the command post.

"How is the battle situation on Marquis Heller's side? There are quite a lot of evil spirits running out from North Sunderland this time." A teasing smile appeared on Suldak's face, which was fleeting.

The messenger did not dare to look up, and took out a letter from his arms while talking:

"The situation at Lord Marquis Heller's side is not very good. His Excellency wrote you a letter and ordered me to send it to you."

Suldak reached out and took the letter.

"Let me see……"

There wasn't much written on the parchment. After reading it, Suldak frowned and asked the messenger:

"Oh, you didn't follow my arrangement...to go west along the North Sunderland Mountains?"

The messenger replied with some embarrassment: "Yes, the Marquis took us through the North Sunderland Mountains and is currently located on the northern tundra."

When Suldak walked into the command post, the messenger could only bite the bullet and follow.

Signa was sitting in front of the sand table, planting flags on the sand table boredly, and she was shocked when she saw Suldak bring someone in.

Recently, Suldak has been guarding the city during the day, and almost never comes back at this time, otherwise Signa would not use his sand table as a toy.

Suldak put the parchment letter in his hand on the square table, then turned around and looked at the messenger who followed, and said slowly:

"The Marquis of Heller said in the letter that he hoped that I could send an army to help the reinforcements out of the siege...Of course! As the commander of the West Route Army, I am duty-bound to do this, but I think you saw this on the way here Due to the current situation, the West Route Army is currently blocked in the southwest of the Villagasi Hills. Although we are confident that we can defeat this evil ghost army, I hope that Marquis Heller and the reinforcements can persist for a while. With the current situation, I am afraid Unable to draw manpower from the northern tundra."

This set of rhetoric seems to have been heard once not long ago. The messenger squeezed out an embarrassing smile and asked Suldak:

"Please think again, there are not many evil spirits on the northern tundra..."

Suldak thought about the messenger's words and said directly:

"You may not have understood what I said. The current situation is rather complicated. Our West Route Army's combat power is also very limited. It may not be possible to arrive at the northern tundra as scheduled. I also ask the Marquis of Heller to persevere." After a while, I won't write a reply letter, and you have to convey what I said verbatim to His Excellency Marquis Valentin Heller."

The messenger's face turned pale, and he understood it. These words were exactly what the Marquis Valentine Heller had said to the herald sent by the West Route Army half a month ago. Send this sentence back without moving.

He looked at Count Suldak in despair, and replied:

"Yes, Lord Earl Suldak."

Suldak nodded and waved to him, indicating that he could leave.

"Okay, you have seen the battle situation here, please pass the news to His Excellency the Marquis as soon as possible."

The messenger walked out of the command post of the West Route Army, which is considered to be the highest place in the entire barracks. Looking north from here, one can clearly see the ghost warriors rushing out of the Villagasi hills all over the mountains...

There are six rows of heavy armored infantry soldiers standing on the wall on the north side of the West Route Army camp. Currently, only three rows are participating in the battle. Once a soldier is injured, it will be replaced immediately.

The heavy armored infantry fighters in the back row will quickly make up for it, limiting the fighting battlefield to a small area at the top of the city.

The battlefield on the city wall looked dignified and orderly, and the messenger knew that since Suldak had given a reply, this decision would not be easily changed.

If the reinforcements want to get out of the predicament this time, they may have to pay a heavier price...

……

At the same time, Andrew's Constructed Knights appeared at the north exit of the canyon in the North Sunderland Mountains.

On the way through the canyon, the Constructed Knights were ambushed by ghost warriors several times, but these ghost warriors seemed to have miscalculated the combat power of the Constructed Knights.

Every time the ambush was like a suicide attack, the evil ghost squad with less than 4000 people dared to attack the knights with more than [-] people.

Even the giant ghost-patterned soldiers ants following behind didn't have time to rush over, and the battle ended in a hurry.

It seems that these evil spirits came here just to feed the giant ghost-striped soldiers and ants...

Finally out of the canyon.

There are almost no traces of evil spirits in the wilderness.

Andrew really wanted to lead the Constructed Knights to attack the evil ghost army besieging the reinforcements in Handanal City, but he also knew that he could not act recklessly at this time. Looking at the Constructed Knights lined up behind him, he waved his hand...

Under the guidance of the magicians of the reconnaissance team, the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army did not rush directly to the location of the reinforcements in Handanal City, but rushed all the way north towards the north exit of Moyun Ridge.

Chapter 1552 Battle of the Highlands 9

Marquis Valentin Heller is very self-aware.

Although several messengers were sent out in succession during this period of time, he also knew that it was impossible for an army to come to relieve the siege in the short term.

The soil walls that are rebuilt every night will become bare after the fierce fighting all day the next day. At the beginning of this war, the lives of nearly a thousand soldiers with heavy shields had to be filled every day to hold this place. A temporary camp.

After a few days of adaptation, the current shield warrior has mastered the basic essentials of fighting the ghost warrior.

The daily battle loss rate has also continued to decrease, and now only a few hundred infantry soldiers are killed every day.

Every time at dusk, when the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Marquis Heller's heart was extremely heavy, because if he couldn't wait for reinforcements, the battle was doomed to a dead end, and all the infantry soldiers might die here.

The speed of building the walled city was much slower than Marquis Heller's plan, and the current camp was still behind the earthen platform.

As for the earthen wall, it was rebuilt every night, and it was bound to be trampled down by those evil spirits the next day.

In fact, Marquis Valentin Heller really wanted to know how the West Route Army built the fortress during the battle with the Moyunling Evil Ghost Army. For such a simple thing, it came to Handanal City to reinforce the army. Here, it's a mess.

Moreover, the location of the reinforcements this time is still in the deepest part of the Moyunling Highlands, which can indeed radiate to the entire northwest of the Moyunling Highlands. If the reinforcements in Handanaer City can gain a foothold here, then this territory will be Become the possession of the noble lords of Handanar City.

Marquis Valentin Heller knew very well in his heart that the reinforcements would not last long in this state.

He hasn't shaved for nearly a week, sitting in the commander's big tent, his face is full of decadence, countless lines are drawn on the map on the table, each line seems to represent an action plan, but unfortunately there is no one The root line can be connected to the south exit of Moyunling.

Every plan he could think of didn't work.

There are only 10,000 heavy armored infantry fighters, and [-]+ horses, all of which are the private property of the noble lords of Handanar City. If all the lords' troops among the Marquis of Heller are buried in the northern tundra this time, it means that they It will offend all the nobles in Handanal.

A glass of fruit wine turned out to be bitter in his mouth. He flipped the glass in his hand, closed his bloodshot eyes, and leaned back on the chair, feeling a little dizzy. As long as he closed his eyes, the mountains and plains would appear in front of him. evil spirits.

"Lord Marquis! The scouts we sent to the northern region are back!" A personal guard whispered in the ear of Marquis Heller.

Marquis Heller opened his eyes, looked around suspiciously, and made sure that the words he heard were not hallucinations, so he sat up straight.

At this time, two scouts were waiting at the door of the tent.

When both of them walked in, "How is the situation in the northernmost part of Moyun Ridge?" Marquis Heller asked urgently.

One of the scouts stood up and replied: "There is indeed a North Mountain Pass in the Moyunling Highland."

Marquis Heller immediately asked, "Where is it?"

The scout glanced at the messy map, stretched out his hand and pointed to a point east of the north of the map, and said:

"Here, but at present, it is not the army of evil spirits stationed there, but an army of local indigenous tribes occupying that mountain pass, and even... built a 60-meter-high city wall at the north mountain pass... and their army is very On such a large scale, even with siege equipment, it is impossible to conquer this city wall."

The hope ignited in Marquis Heller's eyes was half extinguished in an instant, but he still asked without giving up:

"Are you sure it's not the army of the West Route Army?"

The scout said with great certainty: "It is certain that everyone is aboriginal from the local tribe. To confirm this information, we even went under the city wall. Those aboriginal fighters don't seem to have any malice towards us... To be exact, He is very friendly, and even stood on the city wall and greeted us in aboriginal language."

Hearing what the scout said, Marquis Heller's eyes lit up again, and he ordered loudly:

"Hurry up and prepare the horses, this time I must personally meet the leader of this native army!"

……

When the Marquis of Heller rode out of the camp, he had a very bold idea in his heart. If this matter could be successful, the situation of the reinforcements of Handanal City in the Moyunling Highlands might be completely reversed.

He didn't expect that there would be such an army composed of local aboriginals in the northern area of ​​Moyunling.

He has lived in the Warsaw plane for nearly ten years, but he has never heard of such a powerful aboriginal tribe in the northern part of Handanal County.

To be able to build a city wall on Moyun Ridge...

The Marquis of Heller drank a bottle of spiritual power potion and quickly refreshed himself. He didn't intend to rest at this time. Now the army of the Aigrod tribe is a life-saving straw for the reinforcements in Handanal City. Everything has to be grasped.

So he didn't want to wait for a moment. After hearing the news that the indigenous tribal army was not hostile to the imperial army, he immediately rushed towards the northern mountain pass of Moyunling.

The northern tundra is about [-] kilometers away from the North Mountain Pass. It was already night when Marquis Heller rode all the way to the North Mountain Pass.

The evil ghost army in Kornberg County likes night battles very much, but the evil spirits on the high ground strictly follow the practice of ending work at night. Never fighting at night is the most distinctive feature of the Moyunling evil spirit army. His behavior was a bit strange, but it undoubtedly relieved Marquis Heller from worrying about the sudden attack by the evil spirits at night.

The night sky in Moyunling is full of stars.

The snow-capped mountains in the distance have long since turned into black shadows and blended into the endless night. If it weren't for a row of torches lit on the wall, Marquis Heller might not have seen the city wall built on the mountain pass.

The walls here are, as the scouts say, almost as high as those of Pena.

At this height, the only way for the Imperial Legions to break through the walls was to build huge siege machines.

A group of people came to the bottom of the city wall, and the four guards carefully held the light shields of the knights and rode in front, keeping the Marquis of Heller behind them.

When the aboriginal warriors on the city wall saw the group of people below the city, they uttered a series of confusing aboriginal languages ​​at the top of the city.

Now the language barrier may be the biggest problem. Just when Marquis Heller was scratching his head, he did not expect that the gate under the city wall was opened. The aboriginal soldiers guarding the gate were still waving vigorously, signaling them to hurry up. go in.

The Marquis of Heller was full of doubts. When did the local aborigines become so friendly to the imperial knights?

But since the purpose of coming here is to have a good talk with the aborigine leader here, even if this trip is a bit dangerous, Marquis Heller can only bite the bullet and ride in at this time.

When passing through the city gate, the guards around Marquis Heller made gestures, reached out and grabbed a handful of silver coins and threw them to the aboriginal guards at the city gate.

Unexpectedly, those guards reacted so quickly, holding a light blue iris shield, they caught all these silver coins, and then looked at the silver coins inside the shield, and Ula wah said something again, as if to these Yin Bian'er was not very interested.

The aborigine guard thought for a moment, and then he took a mace off the necklace and threw it to the guard.

Then he spoke a bunch of aboriginal language. Although the personal guard couldn't understand what the aboriginal guard said, he could tell from his expression that they were not interested in those silver coins. It seemed that they would talk about the next exchange , just take something else out.

……

Every night is the best resting time for the West Route Army stationed on the high hills in the south of the Villagasi Hills.

At this time, the infantry soldiers, who had been fully rested during the day, would carry pieces of shale to the top of the city, and raise the city wall to the north of the stronghold every night.

After a day of fierce fighting, the infantry fighters after dinner will count the achievements of the day.

Although this kind of city defense battle is a bit boring, for the soldiers defending the city, the achievements they have gained are extremely stable and rich.

The evil spirits rushed up from under the city wall desperately, but they couldn't break through the shield wall of the city head shield warriors at all, and the spear warriors behind would even work together to stab the evil spirit warriors down.
