Chapter 620: Would it be too much to intercept and kill a thousand cavalry?
Bird opened up the lead.
Shimmer City.
This is a trading city built by the Bird family.
Trade connecting north and south.
It is also the front line of the attack on the Ogre Forest.
With the war between the Ogre Forest and the Byrd family.
The main army of the Byrd family entered Shimmer City.
Around the city, elite members of the Byrd family wearing armor and carrying spears can be seen everywhere.
In the center of Shimmer City is the town hall of Shimmer City.
Here it is.
Four of the eight descendants of Bird Sr. came.
Among them, Arman Bird, the eldest son, is the supreme commander in charge of the legion.
His two younger brothers, James Byrd and Haytham Byrd, were in charge of the logistics and cavalry reconnaissance corps respectively.
At the same time, there is a younger brother, Klein Bird, who is the most powerful among them and is also the commander of the Bird family's vanguard army.
But inside the town hall.
But there was no trace of Klein.
"James, there's no news from Klein yet?"
Aman, the eldest son, asked.
Klein is their youngest brother and the most favored by his father.
However, he has no inheritance rights, and he is Aman's biological brother, so he attracts Aman's attention.
James and Hailsham are different from his mother.
"Klein is fun, maybe he was attracted by Harvest Town."
"There."
"But she has the most beautiful dancing girl in Gondor."
It was Haytham who answered.
His voice was rough and resonant.
It also looks a little rough.
Hailsham's mother is a beautiful wolf girl with orc blood.
Hailsham was born with atavism.
That's why it looks ugly.
But although he did not inherit his mother's appearance.
But he inherited the fighting blood from werewolves.
Before Klein was born, Hailsham was the strongest warrior in the territory.
"No, probably not."
Aman shook his head and said.
He knows Klein.
Dirty dancers were definitely not his cup of tea.
Beautiful maid and cook.
On the contrary, it attracted Klein even more.
"Hey, wolf cub."
"Klein has pure noble blood."
"It's different from you."
James on the side said mockingly.
In the Byrd family, James' mother came from a small noble family.
He knew he had no inheritance rights.
So he started to fawn over his eldest son Aman early on.
Among Byrd's eight children.
James is the most loyal to Oman.
For Oman, James did not hesitate to offend everyone.
Including Old Bird.
More than once, James scolded Old Bird in front of him.
Old Bird was so angry that he almost expelled him from the family.
But every time he was saved by Oman.
Pioneer in Bird.
As the eldest son, Aman's power has already grown enough to compete with Old Bird.
Old Bird is no longer the Wolf King of the North.
He is too old.
The old one couldn't even bite the meat.
Now the vassals under his command are no longer loyal to him.
Waiting for old Bird to die, he will turn to Oman.
However, old Bird has a tenacious vitality and is still alive today.
This makes people like James impatient to wait.
Often provoking his authority and irritating Old Bird.
I want him to pass the title to Oman as soon as possible.
It can be said that Bird pioneered the entire field.
James was the one who couldn't wait for Old Bird to die the most.
That's exactly what it is.
Only then will he become Oman's confidant.
Take charge of Shimmer City for him.
The other Hailsham was loyal to Old Bird.
Often targeted by James.
After hearing the other party insult his mother.
Haytham was furious.
"Damn bitch."
"I'm going to stab you into your body with an iron spear."
"Let you know what respect is."
"Afraid of you!"
"Bastard bastard."
In the town hall, the two faced each other directly.
Behind them are the men loyal to Old Bird and Aman's cronies.
"Enough!"
"Want a civil war?"
Aman spoke sullenly and interrupted the two of them.
Then he said to himself.
"Kline goes to Harvest Town."
"We need to borrow a road to take a detour from the Harvest Trail."
"Attack the Ogre Forest from the flank."
"He set out three days ago."
"It doesn't matter whether the other party agrees or not."
"It's time to return now."
"I haven't come back yet."
"Is it possible that people from Harvest Town detained Klein?"
Haytham heard it.
He immediately shook his head in opposition.
"They dare not."
"Furthermore, what is the purpose of detaining Klein?"
"Is it for money?"
"That would be stupid."
"With their strength, any of our mercenary groups can bulldoze them."
James lowered his head and thought for a while.
Then he raised his head and said.
"Oman."
"There are rumors in Shimmer City recently."
"It is said that the ogres counterattacked this time because they colluded with traitors within the Byrd family."
"Is it possible that Klein was caught by a traitor?"
"Without Klein, if we want to attack the Ogre Forest."
"Then we can only change the striker."
"And the only person left who can become a forward~"
He glanced at Hailsham beside him.
The meaning is self-explanatory.
"Hmph!"
"I also heard rumors that James, you bought the potent poison Ogre Alchemy."
"What, are you planning to collude with the Ogre Forest to poison someone?"
"Enough!"
There was a trace of violence in Aman's eyes.
"What I need is accurate information."
"Who dares to fight among themselves again?"
"Just go back to Bird's Castle."
This time.
The two finally chose to shut up.
And Aman saw that they couldn't provide any information.
He just waved his hand and dismissed the meeting.
Then returned to his residence.
And not long after.
James appeared in Aman's room.
"I just got a message."
"The ogres launched a counterattack on the front lines."
"Their counterattack this time is very strange."
"It seems to be a sentinel tower built specifically for this purpose."
"Aman, this is different from before."
"Will anything happen?"
Hearing the news, Aman looked thoughtful.
Now the struggle within Bird's pioneering team is getting more and more intense.
It is not impossible to collude with the ogres.
So every unusual move over there in the Ogre Forest.
All must be taken seriously.
at this moment.
Even a tiny mistake can have disastrous consequences.
"Is there any latest information on the situation at the frontline sentry towers?"
Aman asked.
"No."
"But I have sent someone to notify the mercenary group and report the situation of my checkpoint."
James replied.
"No, that's not enough."
"You dispatch a part of the Bird Guard Knights to conduct random checks on the checkpoints in the areas where each mercenary group is stationed."
"I need accurate information."
"As commanded."
When Oman sent people to inspect.
The other side.
Haytham also got the news.
"Your Excellency."
"News from the ogres."
"The attacking guard tower had an accident."
"The patrol legion that received the information defeated the elite of the ogres."
"We have now abandoned the guard tower and returned to Shimmer City."
"Based on the information from the ogre."
"They were supported by a mercenary group."
"I guess we have left the outskirts of the Ogre Forest now."
"The ogre has no power to stop it."
"So~"
"We have to intercept them halfway."
"They must not be allowed to return to Shimmer City."
"News just came from Bird Castle."
"Sir Bird pioneered the order."
"This time, I would rather not have Shimmer City."
"We will also kill Aman and the vassals loyal to him."
"For this."
"His Majesty Sir even agreed to the more troublesome request from Harvest Town."
"For the safety of the plan."
"We must kill all the patrol regiments at the outpost."
"Otherwise!"
"They returned to Shimmering City."
"Oman will definitely be alert after getting the news."
After Hailshen heard this.
His eyes were slightly cold.
asked immediately.
"Can you confirm the location of the returning patrol mercenaries?"
"Yes!"
"Okay."
"You take my father's knights with you."
"Go and kill them all!"
"Bring more people."
"One thousand, maybe."
"Bring a thousand cavalry over there."
"Be safe."
Hailsham's words surprised his subordinates.
"Your Excellency."
"A thousand Guards cavalry intercepted and killed."
"Is it too much?"
Haytham nodded.
"It's too much, but in order to avoid accidents."
"Let's go as soon as possible."
"After all, the opponent has mercenaries guarding him."
"Yes!"
The subordinates could only agree reluctantly.
But there was some disapproval in my heart.
One thousand Guards Cavalry.
hehe!
How can mercenaries stop so many cavalry! !
It will scare them to death! !
"Da da da~"
On the road leading to Shimmer City.
Thousands of legions are on their way.
In the middle of this legion.
It's Christian and Fang Yuan.
"Your Excellency."
"This is our escort mission."
"It's not easy to bring too many soldiers."
"So let Loyes lead the troops to stay near the Ogre Forest."
"Fiona brought people to guard her in the dark."
"Plus these people now."
"The number of troops protecting you is only a little over 10,000."
"But please don't worry."
"This power can definitely guarantee your safety."
Fang Yuan nodded slightly after hearing these words.
He looked at the escorting patrol mercenaries not far away.
These people looked at the thousands of warriors wearing elite armor who escorted them.
There was an incredible look on their faces.
They never knew that in this north.
Such a powerful mercenary army actually appeared.
They were all guessing about Fang Yuan and their origins.
And just then.
There was a sound of horse hooves ahead.
"Report."
"Your Excellency."
"Your Excellency Fiona discovered an ambush cavalry in front."
"They had their faces covered."
“It seems a little unfriendly.”
Hear this.
Fang Yuan was a little happy.
"Not very friendly?"
"Tell Fiona."
"Kill them directly!"
Christian on the side dissuaded.
"Your Excellency."
"I don't know if they are enemies or friendly forces coming to support them."
"It's not too late to make contact first and confirm your identity."
"It's better to surround them quietly first."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and nodded.
After all, if you accidentally kill a friendly force.
As a result, the second task of this line cannot be completed.
That's a little troublesome.
And this time when entering the secret realm, my main mission is to investigate the truth.
If you kill them all.
Where to find out the truth.
"Then quietly surround them!"
"We will decide whether to attack after we arrive."
"As you command!" (End of this chapter)
