Chapter 33 Valkyrie Hilud
The northern province is covered with clouds.
The overwhelming siege troops, armed with spears and shields, slowly advanced towards the city wall.
“Fire!”
The commander on the city wall gave the order, and the arrows covered the sky, causing a large number of casualties, and at the same time opened a gap in the phalanx.
The hole was quickly filled, and the shield column moved slowly, arriving in front of the wall.
"Captain, the ladder is up!"
"Use stones and boiling oil!"
The boulder fell down and the body rolled down. The number of casualties increased rapidly, and this intense siege did not end until dawn.
“Hold on, Hudson is about to retreat!”
The commander hissed the command, suddenly squatted down, and the flying fireball bombarded the wall. This exploding fireball instantly caused a commotion among the defending troops.
"Mage, there is a mage in the enemy army!"
"Marksman, find out the location of the mage just now and shoot him for me!"
Soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, extraordinary versus extraordinary, these are the default rules of the battlefield.
Under the watchful eye of the God of Justice, Glory and War, the troops who initiated the unjust war will be greatly weakened.
On the contrary, well-trained elite soldiers, even if their members are not extraordinary people, can exert terrifying power to kill extraordinary people when gathered together.
Belief in Tyr, the God of War, is extremely popular among the army.
In recent years, many commanders have followed the teachings of the God of Strategy [Black Knight] and given full play to tactics, cunning and strategy.
[Black Knight] As the subordinate god of [God of War], belief in the Black Knight also indirectly strengthens the God of War.
The flying sand is rolling.
A heavily armed squad appeared on a high slope several hundred meters away from the city wall.
The appearance of the third party brought an eerie calm to the battle situation, and the soldiers stopped attacking one after another.
The battlefield is dead silent.
The commander guarding the city cast his gaze away, his pupils contracting, reflecting the figure on the high slope.
It was a woman, wearing an eagle helmet to cover her face, with only her chin and lips exposed. Her red hair was flying in the wind, and her shirt made a hunting sound. Behind her, there was a row of ten people with a solemn aura, all wearing chain armor and face-covering helmets, holding long-handled battle axes in both hands.
"Iron Oath...Guards?" The commander opened his eyes in disbelief.
In the siege army formation, Duke Hudson was riding on a war horse, his eagle-like eyes flashed coldly, and he said hoarsely to himself:
"That woman, just like that Coming in a big way.”
Under the gaze of the military formations on both sides, the eagle-helmeted woman led the team across the battlefield. From beginning to end, she didn't even pay attention to either side.
It seemed as if the only road in front of her was the road beneath her feet.
In the military formation.
The mage wrapped in a black robe whispered: "Do you want me to take action against her?"
"What do you think?" Hudson asked.
The mage was silent for a long time, lowered his head deeply, and said:
"From the way that woman walks, you can tell that she has extraordinary skills!"
"[Iron Oath Guards], a guard that symbolizes loyalty, oath and glory. Even the God of War has a special liking for them and bestows them with an iron-blooded [military power]."
Hudson There was a hint of emotion in the Duke's voice, and his eyes were even colder.
"What a pity, that woman is from the North. My army cannot accommodate foreigners..."
The back of the woman with the eagle helmet has been hidden in the wind and sand.
Obviously it was only a ten-man squad, but the killing force affected the entire battlefield, and morale no longer allowed the battle to continue.
Hudson reined in his horse and returned to the camp, saying coldly: "Retreat!"
"Lord Shilud——" This Argonian has copper-colored scaly skin with a metallic shimmer. Her voice was hoarse, but her gender could still be determined. She was wearing a fur armor and carried a huge two-handed sword on her back. The black sword was as cold as iron. She reported: "After taking a shortcut, we were close to the starlight." There are still about two hours to go to the Chamber of Commerce’s camp.”
The eagle-helmeted woman nodded slightly.
The Argonians whispered: "But I still don't understand. We can just go back to the north. Why do we still need to cooperate with the merchants?"
The voice of the woman in the eagle helmet was pleasant and deep, and she said:
"The Starlight Chamber of Commerce has a new version of the map of the Jueling Mountains. This can shorten the journey back to the north and get rewards."
Next to it. One of the orcs said in a disdainful tone: "Speaking of reward, when we came here just now, the two troops didn't respond at all. It's really boring."
"Yes, Lord Sirud wanted to get something out of it. Pen, let’s see who pays the higher price, but no one expressed anything!”
“The nobles of the Golden Lion Kingdom have been indulging in pleasure for too long, and the glory of the ‘Golden Lion King’ Fred has been completely destroyed! They forgot everything!”
There was a roar of laughter.
"Shut up!" The Argonian shouted, and the military formation suddenly became silent.
"Fred is a good poet, and tactics are worth learning." Hillud said calmly, "Speed up your pace and arrive at the camp before the sun sets."
Starlight Chamber of Commerce.
Outside the camp.
The wolf girl Lena showed a warm smile, personally welcomed Hilud and her herald into the camp, and at the same time arranged for her subordinates to entertain the rest of the team members.
“I have admired Sir Sirud’s name for a long time, and I finally meet you today.”
Sirud nodded coldly, got straight to the point, and said: “According to the employment contract, my team and I will follow you. The Chamber of Commerce crossed the Jueling Mountains and served as a guard for about a month."
Lena nodded with a smile, and then said:
"There is something that needs to be informed in advance. Those who are traveling with us this time, There is also a noble from the Golden Lion Kingdom.”
"Which noble?"
"The youngest son of the Brondi family, Yeats Brondi, is also the lord of Morning Frost Ridge."
Hilud nodded slightly: "Morning Frost I have heard that the current Golden Lion King once fought against the Orc Army in the Battle of Morning Frost Ridge, and it later became an outpost to deal with the cold wave."
"Yes, but today's Morning Frost Ridge has been. It's not the barren land it was at that time." Lena took a sip of wine and said immediately, "We will arrive there the next day, and then we will cross the Jueli Mountains with Baron Yeats. For this reason, I hope you will try your best to protect his safety. "
"Morning Frost Ridge is an important place, and the lord here must be very skilled. Why do you need me to protect him?" Hilud asked.
"Baron Yeats is indeed outstanding, but it is not in force, but in business, knowledge and other aspects." Lena smiled slightly, "When you see him in person, you will understand what I say."
< br>Hilud remained silent.
"If I remember correctly, Lord Sirud has been an adult for a long time?" Lena inquired.
"According to the holy calendar, this year is the sixteenth year since I was born." Hilud paused and said, "Why are you asking about this?"
"It's just I am quite interested in the famous Valkyrie.”
Lena smiled hoarsely and said: "Since you agreed to be the escort of the caravan, can you let me see your true face?"
Hilud was silent for a moment, reached out and took off the eagle helmet and put it aside. .
Lena looked at Hilud at the opposite table and was stunned for a long time.
Who would have thought that the famous Valkyrie in the empire would be such a young, red-haired beauty who would conquer the entire country...
Lena secretly marveled, shook her head, and said:< br>
"On this journey across the Jueling Mountains, I have a personal request. If it can be fulfilled, I will definitely thank you."
"What request?"
"The ranger who drew the map , I heard an unusual roar in the forest, which looked like a tiger and a leopard. It was suspected to be a female monster in childbirth. "
Lena said: "I suspect that this will be a good opportunity to capture the cub of the monster, so. Asking for your help.”
Hilud pondered for a while and nodded:
"Warcraft cub...I will pay attention to it."
