Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 163

  Chapter 163 It’s up to us next

   “Patter, patter, patter.”

  The cold rain like thin needles is still falling endlessly, falling on the grass, on the faces of soldiers full of fear, and on the corpses of those who died in battle.

Robin rode on a horse and stood on the mound at the side of the battlefield. He watched as the Rock City army was about to break into the blood clan’s fortress, but when the blood clan’s bear goblin troops joined the battle, the battlefield situation immediately came With a 180-degree reversal, the Rock City army was quickly driven out again.

  After dropping nearly a hundred corpses, the Rock City army had to retreat in embarrassment. Fortunately, the retreat did not turn into a rout.

Thirty bear goblins only pursued for a short distance, and then withdrew back to the fortress. They did not dare to leave the fortress too far, because Baron Lauren still had a cavalry unit, and a hundred cavalrymen were standing guard on a high ground not far away. He was staring coldly at the Blood Clan Fortress.

   “Master Kazan, why don’t we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?”

  A hobgoblin officer stood beside Kazan, with an incomprehensible expression on his dark gray face. Surprisingly, he spoke a standard Imperial language.

  Kazan felt that the hobgoblin officer asked a very stupid question, his pale face was full of disgust, and he replied:

“Idiot, didn’t you see those cavalry on the opposite side? If the bear goblin chases too far, these cavalry will definitely charge over, and they will stick between the bear goblin and the fortress like a sharp knife. In this way, the bear goblin Hanging outside the fort alone, lost touch with us.”

   “Then, the retreating infantry will definitely stop retreating and turn around to take the opportunity to attack the goblin bear. The enemy cavalry and infantry attack from both sides. It is only a matter of time before the goblin bear is eaten by the enemy. Don’t underestimate the ability of the human lord.”

  The hobgoblin officer showed a suddenly enlightened expression, and couldn’t help admiring Kazan’s wisdom: “My lord, you are so smart.”

   Kazan snorted softly, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He had indeed guessed Baron Lauren’s plan. Baron Lauren led his troops to retreat 300 meters and completely broke away from the battle with the Blood Fortress. When he turned his head and saw that the enemy bears hadn’t caught up, he couldn’t help showing disappointment on his rough face , the enemy is more cunning than he imagined.

  Seeing that the army in Rock City began to retreat, on the mound, Robin turned to Simon beside him and said, “Order the troops to start preparing, and it’s our turn to perform.”

  When Simon heard this, the two bull’s eyes immediately lit up, and he shouted excitedly: “Yes, leader!”

  Then, Robin pulled the reins abruptly, rode his horse and ran down the mound, and quickly approached the camp in Rock City. Before starting the attack, Robin had to inform Baron Lauren that the two sides were allies in name after all. He didn’t expect Baron Lauren to help him, as long as he didn’t drag his hind legs.

  Back in the temporary camp, Baron Lauren got into his tent, threw his blood-stained helmet on the ground, and cursed angrily, “Made, these damned monsters!”

  Several senior military officers also walked into the military tent. Seeing the baron’s face full of anger, they were all cautious and did not dare to speak.

  Baron Laurent lost a lot in this battle, and more importantly, the morale of the army was severely hit.

   “Master Baron, why don’t I try charging with the cavalry?” After hesitating for a while, the cavalry captain stood up and asked tentatively.

  In the previous battle, the cavalry team just watched from a distance and did not participate in the battle. This made the cavalry captain feel like he was sitting on the bench, and he was eager to join the battle.

Baron Lauren sat down on the chair, looked up at the cavalry captain, and immediately scolded: “The gap in the wall of the fortress is less than ten meters away, and two goblin bears can block the gap to death. Your cavalry charge with their heads? Use your brains!”

  The captain of the cavalry was so scolded that he could not get off the stage, his face flushed immediately, and he hurriedly added: “My lord, our cavalry is willing to dismount and fight on foot, even if we die in battle!”

   Baron Lauren raised his hand and stopped the cavalry captain from speaking: “Every one of you cavalrymen is my baby bump. I can’t take you to take risks. Dismounting the cavalry is simply a waste of luxury.”

  At this time, the servant brought a glass of white ale, and Baron Lauren took the iron glass, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, and the white ale in the glass also shook, and even spilled a little.

  Just now, Baron Lauren took a heavy hammer from the goblin bear. With the strange strength of these three-meter-high monsters, Baron Lauren was hit so hard that his hands trembled, and he hasn’t recovered yet.

   He held the iron wine glass tightly with both hands in anger, raised his head and drank it down. The hot white ale flowed down his throat and into his stomach, finally extinguishing a little anger in his heart.

   “Lord Baron, how shall we fight next?” the cavalry captain continued to ask.

  Baron Lauren handed over the empty wine glass to the servant, scratched his little red hair, and sighed depressingly: “Stop fighting, we can’t fight, let’s wait for the main force behind.”

  As a military officer, knowing when to fight and when not to fight is a very important ability.

  After the first contact between the two sides, Baron Lauren has made a new judgment: he can’t break down this blood fortress by himself alone.

“As long as the thirty goblin bears are still there, it is impossible for our troops to break in. As long as the thirty goblin bears block the gap in the city wall, it will be difficult for thousands of troops to enter, let alone our The troops are here.” Baron Lauren explained with some frustration.

  The big tent suddenly fell silent. The officers here are veterans who have experienced many battles. After a little thought, they realized that Baron Lauren’s judgment was correct. Everyone couldn’t help showing a dejected expression for a while.

  At this time, the guard standing guard outside the door suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in.

   “Report, Lord Baron, Baron Robin is asking to see you outside.”

   “Robin?” Baron Lauren showed a puzzled expression, and maliciously speculated in his heart: Is this guy here to see his joke?

   “Let him in.”

   “Yes, my lord.”

A moment later, Robin opened the curtain and walked into Baron Lauren’s tent. He saw Baron Lauren sitting on a wooden chair in the middle, and four officers were standing on both sides of the tent, all of them looked unkind. stared at Robin.

   Baron Lauren raised his head and looked at Robin. There was still a little blood on his cheek, and he asked gloomyly, “Baron Robin, what do you want?”

Robin took off the hood of the cloak on his head, and he stood straight in front of Baron Lauren, holding the hilt of the knight sword at his waist in one hand, and said with a determined look: “Baron Lauren, I’m here to inform you. Come down, our Raging Wave Legion will launch an attack on the Blood Clan Fortress.”

Baron Lauren was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he frowned slightly in doubt, and sarcastically said: “Baron Robin, are you crazy? I can’t even take down this Blood Fortress, and you only have a hundred of them on hand.” Head, are you going to die?”

  The officers under him also showed mocking smiles. They all thought that Robin was talking nonsense.

  Robin looked calm, and replied: “You don’t need to worry about it, I just came to tell you.”

   Baron Lauren sneered: “Baron Robin, I will not send troops to support you, you should give up your heart as soon as possible.”

   “I don’t count on your support, as long as you don’t mess with me.”

   Baron Lauren looked at Robin. The man in front of him remained calm and calm from the beginning to the end, as if the next battle was as simple as cleaning the house, which made Baron Lauren somewhat angry for no reason.

   “You can do whatever you want, no one will stop you if you want to die!”

   “Farewell.”

  Robin raised his hand and lightly hammered his left chest with his fist as a military salute, then put on a black hood, turned and walked out of the tent.

  After Robin left, several officers immediately started discussing in surprise.

   “What’s the matter with this Baron Robin? Is your head flooded?”

   “I think he is just purely arrogant, he will definitely die ugly.”

   “It doesn’t matter, anyway, it is not our troops who lost.”

   While the officers were discussing, Baron Lauren stared at the gate of the camp with a deep expression, lost in deep thought.

   No matter how you look at it, Robin has no chance of winning at all. His army is too small, only a hundred people. Baron Lauren’s years of experience in fighting on the battlefield told him that Robin was going to die.

  However, Robin’s calmness and calmness made Baron Lauren couldn’t help thinking: Could he really break down the blood fortress?

   After thinking for a while, Baron Lauren suddenly stood up, and he said to the officer under him, “Let’s go! Let’s go and have a look.”

In a newly built two-story building in the Blood Fortress, Kazan was standing in front of the fireplace, enjoying the warmth brought by the flames. The flickering light of the fire shone on his pale face, which seemed to add a little bit to him. Red.

  In fact, after becoming a blood servant, Kazan’s body became as cold as ice. He had lost his sense of temperature, and he would no longer feel cold or warm.

  But Kazan is still willing to warm up like this, perhaps only in this way can he recall the feeling when he was still a “human being”.

  A human servant brought him a cup of blood, which was held in an exquisite ceramic cup. Against the backdrop of the fire, the blood in the cup looked extraordinarily bright red and attractive, like a liquid ruby.

   “Master, please have a meal. This is the virgin blood of a fifteen-year-old girl.” The servant knelt humbly on the ground covered with cashmere blankets, holding up the silver dinner plate with both hands.

   Kazan gracefully picked up the ceramic teacup with exquisite patterns, and took a sip. He closed his eyes, with a look of enjoyment on his face, as if he was tasting the most delicious food in the world.

  At this time, a hobgoblin officer suddenly broke into the room, stood at the door and said out of breath, “My lord, the enemy is coming up again!”

  When the meal time was interrupted, Kazan frowned slightly angrily: “This group of despicable humans, like summer bugs, are endless and can never be killed.”

   Then, Kazan thought for a while, and felt a little surprised. “They just experienced a defeat, and they still have the energy to attack again?”

  The hobgoblin officer reported: “Looking at the equipment and clothes on them, it looks like another group of human troops. However, their strength is very small.”

   “Another group?”

  Kazan raised his neck and drank the blood in the teacup, then he put the teacup back on the servant’s plate, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and said, “Command down, prepare to meet the enemy.”

   A minute later, under the guidance of the hobgoblin officer, Kazan boarded the wall of the blood fortress again. The pale manservant followed behind him, holding a big umbrella to cover Kazan from the continuous cold rain in the sky.

   Kazan stood on the edge of the city wall, looking through the dense rain to the east of the fortress. About 300 meters away, on a large piece of dark green grass, a human army was calmly arranging its formation, apparently about to launch an attack on the blood fortress.

   What surprised Kazan was that this team was full of games, and there were only one hundred people.

  One hundred people want to attack this fortress, this group of humans are crazy!

  The situation in front of him was so abnormal that Kazan was stunned for the first time. He didn’t believe it at first, and turned to ask the hobgoblin officer beside him: “There are only so few people on the other side?”

  The hobgoblin officer nodded his huge head: “Yes, my lord, there are only so few people.”

   “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, this must be the enemy’s trick!” Kazan asked after thinking for a while. “Human lords are the most cunning. They may want to attack the west and attack from other directions. Is there any trace of the enemy in other directions?”

   “Report, sir, I have explored all other directions, and there is no sign of any human army, only this side has enemies.”

“How is this possible?”

   Kazan shook his head vigorously, but he couldn’t figure it out. In his opinion, what is the difference between such a small force and wanting to attack the fortress, and sending it to death? Although humans are hateful, they are not a bunch of idiots.

   While Kazan was thinking hard about the enemy’s tricks, Robin’s side had already lined up.

  He brought out forty iron guards, thirty half-elfs, and thirty deer cavalry on this expedition.

  Because the enemy defended the gap in the city wall, the cavalry could not charge. If you forcibly use the cavalry to attack, you may fall into the enemy’s army formation. At that time, you will not be able to rush, and you will not be able to retreat. Once you lose the impact and mobility, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry may be inferior to that of the infantry.

  So, this attack was mainly performed by the iron guards and half-elves, and the deer cavalry, as a reserve team, stayed behind temporarily.

Tess rode Elf Deer Snow and ran quickly past the iron guards and half-elf army formation, she shouted loudly to cheer everyone up: “My brothers and sisters, this time it’s up to you, may the moon **** bless you !”

  Simon put on his helmet, laughed, and excitedly shouted at Tess: “You guys just watch from behind, this time you won’t have a chance to play.”

  Then Iron Bear Warrior raised his battle ax and shouted loudly: “Kill!”

  The iron guards behind him immediately shouted three times: “Kill! Kill! Kill!”
