The Amber Sword: Scene 110 Trentheim and the young Thane (ten) (second, the ranking is crazy)
The 110th act of Trentheim and the young Thane (ten) (the second one, the ranking is crazy)
Month of Hibernation Seven Days --
After the first snow.
Severe winter *** has taken the avenues from the mountains of Anlieke to the countryside of Ampere Searl. Lobbyists from all sides in *** gang have wasted two months' worth of words, but in the end they are futile and cold The season finally froze the turbulent situation in the north, and two months ago, the rumours of fierce momentum about the war in the north ended up as a rumor.
But those who can really see all of this understand that this kind of false fake hides a deeper crisis under the calm. Under the surface of the silver-clad, frozen world is not silence, but an outbreak after patience.
The sword screamed, longing for blood.
It seems that winter is coming to spring. After the snowflakes bloom, it is not snowy water, but **** water that penetrates into the land. Brando knows this very well. It's like clear black and white words in history books.
But when the earth was dormant, there was a latent power under the snow. It's like a clear horseshoe sound through the forest, shaking the soil -- The old Knight Pallas led his Knight in the cold wind for the first time on the hill in the Minteye territory -- he did not know About this battle ignited in the territory of Trentheim already passed to many Duke, Thane's desks through unknown channels.
During a sensitive period, a sparks will explode the situation. Everyone thinks that Her Highness the Princess is in danger, but nobody thinks that the silver-haired little girl can only accept Brando's 'good intention' with a bitter smile.
Then where Count of Radnor will go, this is very meaningful.
But no one cares about the fate of a pawn.
Only when Princess Gryphine got the information about Pallas starting to march to Fir Tree Shire, they couldn't help but twist the parchment with **** and shook it a little, and said with a smile to the Oberbeck around them: "Minister Oberbeck, who do you see Will you win? "
Oberbeck bowed slightly: "Sense tells me that Count of Radnor has won, but intuition tells me that it is not necessary."
"What if you win?"
"Then Count of Radnor is even more afraid to act lightly."
"What did you lose?"
"Anlieke will also tend to keep Radnor at least neutral, which is exactly what the old guy wanted --"
"In short, is it harmless to us?"
"If Her Highness the Princess can realize that Count of Radnor will never be the same as us!"
"Unfortunately, teachers Makarov and Lockwood cannot see this." The girl with silver hair held one's own snow cheek with one hand and sighed.
Oberbeck did not answer easily. In his opinion, crafty fox and Lockwood masters are not unable to see this, but because of one's own considerations. Perhaps in their view, Count of Radnor is at least more reliable than an unknown youngster, Makarov means Actually, I don't want this Her Highness the Princess to deal with that youngster too much. Wolf Knight can feel this very keenly.
He can't say these words, otherwise it will cause suspicion in royalist, but he believes that the bright Her Highness the Princess can also see it.
"You said," The Gryphine's slim eyelash lifted slightly, and she stared at the courtier: "Why did he do this, could it be that is just because of the so-called goodwill to the royal family?"
The girl shook her head again, and her birth made her inherently distrustful of this uninterested feeling: "I'm afraid not."
"It appears to his subordinates that it is the adventurer's ambition --"
"Ambitious?"
Princess Gryphine blinked.
But at this moment the old Knight Pallas standing in the cold wind apparently did not know that there was a beautiful beauty Princess evaluating the fate of the two sides. The old Knight lifted the mask with his callus-folded hands, and in the cold There was a breath of white air in the air, watching the vast mountains of White Mist.
Under the mountain is the camp -- after the attack
This already is the sixth attack since this week.
Is the attacker Troglodyte or Troglodyte?
The old man's forehead is almost crowded together, his old face is more like a knot of Barkskin. The figures of Knights behind him came out of the forest one after another, and most of them looked dignified.
They originally thought that the undulating hilly environment of the Minteye area was not as sinister as the Grahár Mountain they had fought all year round, and the mob as an enemy was not as good as mountain people. They thought that more people in to heave a sigh of relief -- could see this upcoming war as a chance to relax.
I didn't expect to meet a more difficult guy before I met a refugee.
"Are these **** Troglodyte ***!" someone scolded indignantly. The targets of the Troglodyte attack are various and are not limited to military targets. Sometimes granaries and manors are within their hunting range.
Although the Radnor army has not yet gathered, these insidious attacks already make people in the territory tremble. The damage caused by the attack was not great, but Pallas feared that it would delay the army's assembly time.
In particular, it has recently developed into a camp where mountain peoples gather. This is the second camp that has been attacked.
Troglodyte has a speed of surprisingly quick in the forest. When they launched their attacks, the mountain people were not ready to prevent it. As a result, these monsters rushed in from the north side, killing many people and then quickly evacuated.
The terrain in the forest is complicated, and the cavalry can't be deployed. It can't be tracked, and it's even worse.
"How many people have been lost?"
"Not much, a dozen dead, but a lot of injuries."
"How much have you lost since this week."
"Nearly a hundred people," the Knight replied, "This is not a loss of battle."
"Why is there a battle loss?" Pallas Looking back, it ’s too early to leave the war, and both the mobilization of grain and other materials is much slower than expected. mountain people The speed of assembly is not fast -- Defects to date 10 – 20% .
But what makes him strange is that he never gave any order, how could there be war damage.
"It was because a mountain people was assembled in private and was ready to retaliate and fight back. After entering the Minteye collar, it was ambushed and only one or two people returned." The Knight replied.
"This idiot," the old Knight cursed, "So how much was lost, from the first attack to the present?"
Knights glanced at each other before answering.
"More than three hundred people."
"But for two weeks --" Pallas shook his head. In fact, this loss is still acceptable. Because if he didn't take the initiative to attack, he would have a hard time taking these things.
But in his opinion this is the opponent's last struggle.
In the past two months, Pallas already has grasped enough information. Those noble personal soldiers who have fled from Fir City have brought him a lot of useful information. --, for example, he knows that Brando has Troglodyte under his control, and the number is probably hundreds. Not even thousands.
Hundreds of Troglodyte, more than a thousand mercenary, Pallas feels that if they fight steadily, then they will win. Knight Minteye The old guy made a mistake and he will never make a second --. In fact, the old Knight knows that according to one's own character, I'm afraid he won't make it even the first time.
His hand has a metal hilt. I heard that Cagliss was also captured by the mob. In fact, he has been worried about his student these days.
Pallas's original plan probably needs one and a half months, even if these mountain peoples lost another 1,000 lives during this time, or even one-third withdrew from the battle sequence, he didn't care.
But this old Knight understands that on the battlefield, the numbers are not calculated like this.
Because if he predicts that something will really happen, it will be a fatal blow to morale, and it may not even make the mountain people staying in this area into chaos.
He sees that the other party is putting pressure on himself, trying to force himself to decisive battle in advance.
But things are by no means so simple. Those ambushed mountain people illustrate the problem well. Pallas understands that he must not ***, but on the other hand those chattering mountain people Boss also made him a headache.
These people are not without reason. Since this week, the Troglodyte in the forest has even burned a granary -- in Pallas deep into the hinterland. This makes him wonder if there is something wrong with Schafflund because Troglodyte Only through that direction can *** reach the territory of Pallas.
But Schafflund's spies reported that everything was normal, and he sent a second batch of spies for this, and found nothing strange.
This can only make the old Shawlund area in charge of the old Knight curse Aokins a sieve that anyone can penetrate.
But he didn't think about it. If it wasn't for this sieve, his one's own people might not have penetrated it.
Pallas touched the one's own sword, and finally pressed the *** in his heart, he shook his head and said, "Let's go back."
"Master," Knights is a little puzzled: "That's it, what about those Troglodyte?"
"Let the mountain peoples shrink defense, change the route of material deployment, and re-plan the location of the granary. The enemy is in the dark, we are in the Ming, we must only be vigilant before --"
"But it ’s too time-consuming. We might as well just hit them and kill them!"
"If you think so, your enemies will be happy," Pallas coldly replied, "Madara's undead, mountain people, and even food and other supplies are not yet in place! If you lose Pallas collar again, then the face of adult Radnor Where to put -- "
"We have thousands of people, and the mountain people army in the territory is gradually approaching two thousand," said Knight. "Even if the opponent adds Troglodyte, our opponent will not be stopped?"
"The old stupid Knight Minteye thinks that, too, do you see his end?"
"But if we do this, it will affect the assembly time, sir."
"That's fine, it is best to drag Month of the Spring Dawn -- to send troops in the winter, not a good sign --" Pallas Knight shaking his head -- Although this sporadic harassment is harmless, it is also tantamount to slapping on his face, but to him There is no way to fight back.
He is a cautious person, and it seems that the other party is paying attention to this.
But Pallas's only self-confidence now is that he will never get dizzy because of his anger and make a decision to send troops early. The old Knight thinks that he has spotted the opponent as a trapped beast, so he must fight steadily, trap the opponent a little bit, and not give the opponent a chance of lousy situation.
The shame now, in the future he will slowly find it.
"Drag to Month of the Spring Dawn? So long, won't Lord Count blame it? Three months, Martha above, how much food will it take?"
"Sir, you will kill us if you do Lord Count!"
"Just the opposite," Pallas glanced at these old men: "The longer we drag the better, you have to look farther. The battlefield is not limited to Trentheim --. In short, adults will not come to find this war. You are trouble. "
"Some things are not just measurable money consumed." Although the old Knight is a pure soldier, his experience is enough to make him see the waves behind this seemingly calm situation: "Of course if we can do it It ’s beautiful, Lord Count is even more worry-free -- "
"That's natural." Knights echoed.
