Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 125: Meeting and follow-up

The warm sun is just right and the spring breeze is blowing.

Spring is the gentlest time in the North, but neither the warm sunshine nor the gentle spring breeze can dissipate the strong smell of blood.

Even the marching army still carries a strong smell of blood, but this **** behavior does not affect the mood of Sol, Richard and others who are marching in the army at all. On the contrary, they are very adaptable and even have some The more morbid ones will also indulge in this **** feeling.

Saul rode a tall wildebeest and walked at the front of the team. He was surrounded by everyone and was in the well-deserved C position. Richard was summoned by Saul to his side and rode a red flame horse, half a mile behind. Standing parallel to Thor, there are a large number of senior officers and nobles on both sides.

"This horse is good."

During the conversation, Thor unconsciously turned the topic to the Red Flame Horse,

With the physique and image of the Red Flame Horse, it is difficult for people not to notice it, especially when they are walking side by side. The originally irritable wildebeest behaves obediently in front of the Red Flame Horse,

If Richard hadn't tried his best to stop it, the red flame horse would have had to run in front of the wildebeest.

“This horse is called Red Flame Horse, and it is a special breed of horse found by our Hunter leader.

"Are the strange birds in the sky and the golems on the battlefield also specialties of your Hunter Territory?"

Saul asked a question that most of the northern lords had been curious about. Those lords who were attached to Richard would not dare to ask casually if Richard did not take the initiative to ask.

“The strange bird is called a griffin. It is a species we discovered deep in the Ironwood Forest. It took many years of research to find a way to tame it. The griffin is so rare that there are only a few dozen in total so far.”

"As for the two magic costumes, we found them while exploring the ruins of the Elf Empire."

Richard reluctantly made up the words. Anyway, whether you believe it or not, I do. Sol can’t take it by force. Except for Sol, other nobles want to have some evil ideas. Watching these five thousand flying Xiong Jun and dozens of crusaders with knight-level strength also had to weigh their considerations.

Since Richard dared to expose something, he was naturally not afraid of anyone trying to rob it.

"Yeah"

Saul nodded, not sure if he believed it or not, or if he just asked casually, and then changed the topic back to the horse.

"Can this horse be bred in large numbers?"

"Crimson flame horses are difficult to breed, and large-scale breeding may be difficult to achieve. However, if Lord Thor likes it, I can give you one."

"Oh?"

Although Thor would not accept any gifts or bribes, Richard said he wanted to give him a red flame horse, but he did not refuse directly.

The famous BMW general is a perfect match. There are few generals in the army who don't like good horses. Even Thor, who has the strongest mount like a dragon, is not exempt from this habit.

Besides, the Red Flame Horse is obviously different from the general category of good horses. According to Saul's observation, in his decades of military career, he has probably never seen a good horse that can compare with the Red Flame Horse.

Seeing that Sol did not refuse directly, Richard immediately ordered someone to bring a red flame horse,

Richard brought a few more red flame horses with him, originally planning to use them for some transactions or giving gifts. Now, giving them directly to Thor can be said to have the greatest effect,

When looking at the red flame horse in front of him that looked like it was carved out of the same mold as Richard, Thor fell into silence.

After a while, he spoke:

"This horse has a similar mind to yours, so I'd better not take it from you at will."

Damn, you can see that too.

Li Cha was a little embarrassed and asked someone to take the red flame horse back, and screamed in his heart,

Although anyone can ride the red flame horse produced by the system at will with Richard's permission, the final control has actually always been with Richard,

If Richard wants to cause trouble, Richard can even order the Red Flame Horse to suddenly charge the people on his back directly into the enemy camp on the battlefield.

This time I flattered Sol and accidentally slapped the horse's leg. Fortunately, Sol didn't worry too much, and the army continued to march towards Piaoxue City.

…

Under the snowy city,

After a round of feint attacks in the morning, the ogres had packed up their supplies and retreated towards the wilderness,

The defenders of Piaoxue City did not take too many drastic actions. After the ogres completely retreated, they slowly opened the city gate. More than 20,000 Jingbei Army soldiers came out of the city. They were all hanging on the ogres from a distance. The demon queen is not only monitoring the ogre army, but also waiting for reinforcements from the south.

The morale of the retreating ogre army is indeed quite low at this time.

Although the ultimate goal has always been to retreat to the wilderness, returning victoriously and returning broken and bleeding are completely different concepts.

To put it bluntly, ordinary ogres did not steal anything or gain wealth, while Grugesh did not gain enough prestige.

Prestige is something invisible and intangible, but its importance cannot be denied,

Don’t look at the fact that these small tribes are still following the direct descendants of Grugesh,

That’s because they are still in human territory at the moment and have to huddle together for warmth until they reach the wilderness.

Now at least half of the small tribes that gathered around Grugesh will disperse,

If Piaoxue City is breached this time, Grugesh is absolutely sure to digest all these small tribes, and can go back to attract more wilderness tribes to join them,

Now I don’t even think about it. If I can successfully return to the wilderness, I have to slowly lick my wounds and deal with the suppression from time to time by humans.

In the past, humans did not take the loose ogres seriously, but this time they were exposed. You can imagine how difficult life will be for the ogres after humans come to their senses.

……

After following the ogre army across a tributary of the Xiaoling River, the defenders of Piaoxue City who came out of the city to monitor the ogres finally joined the reinforcements led by Thor.

After approaching Piaoxue City, the reinforcements led by Saul followed the guidance of the Sword Eagle Knight and took a direct route to join the Jingbei Army leaving the city.

Finally in the afternoon, the two armies completely merged,

A total of 80,000 troops gathered together to put pressure on the ogres and force them back into the wilderness.

Although the composition of this 80,000-strong army is a little more complicated, except for the newly formed legions in the river valley that have a somewhat stretched combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of other parts is still guaranteed.

Especially the team led by Thor, who has the knight rank of the earth, as well as dozens of strong knight rank men who came to join the army, as well as dozens of knight rank warriors under Richard,

In terms of high-end military force, it is several levels higher than the original Jingbei Army.

Even if the ogre army at this time has 20,000 people, the human coalition is not afraid of a battle,

It’s just that neither side has a strong intention to fight in this battle,

In order to seek stability, Solshi said that time is on the side of humans. As long as the kingdom is given some time to react, the ogres can be easily dealt with.

On the other hand, Grugesh was holding on to a sense of luck, thinking that he would be able to accumulate strength after returning to the wilderness and wait for the opportunity to move eastward again.

The two sides actually marched in tacit understanding until they approached Fort Hel on the edge...
