Eagle Flag of Epirus - v8 Chapter 90
Outside the gorge where the Aselios River passed, the Epirus people who finally ended their march were covered in mud. The first moment many tired soldiers stepped out of the swamp, they jumped into the clear water and washed their bodies. The silt, allowing the refreshing river water to flow through the body to release the fatigue of the whole body.
On the way, the soldiers threatened by the iron law ventured through the swamp in the deep valley. Anyone who dared to disobey the military order was severely punished. The army of tens of thousands of people forcibly filled a whole swamp at a price. It was equally tragic. Hundreds of people drowned in the swamp, and some tired soldiers never got up after falling.
But for such a result, Nicholas, who commanded everything, was very satisfied. The marching troops walked out of the Pindus Mountains on time according to his original plan, and such casualties were nothing more than an acceptable sacrifice for the overall situation.攫攝攫
At this time, the great nobles in a good mood are no longer as tyrannical as before, so their subordinates also took the opportunity to suggest: “His Royal Highness, we have a hundred miles to reach Agriñon. It’s better to take a rest for the time being. After you led the army, you saw our army in a neat and tidy state, and you are not afraid that the rebels of Thessari will turn their backs.”
Nicholas was extremely helpful when he said something. He looked at the untidy soldiers behind him and nodded slightly. It seemed to him that he had a chance to win, and since it was so, he couldn’t be so disrespectful. Seeing that this highness did not veto, the other retainers could finally breathe a sigh of relief at this time, although the hard work has nothing to do with them, but in Rusny where they have suffered such a crime, they are eager to find a place to rest.
On the other side, the hardest road was finally finished. Looking beyond the reed valley everywhere, the soldiers were as happy as they were left behind. They just put down their weapons at will, and soon they were sitting casually or sitting around. Or the sleeping soldiers, who have not rested for several days now they just want to relax.
Nicholas, who witnessed all this, acquiesced to the behavior of the soldiers. He has already arrived here, and Agrinon is close at hand, and Valous, who always treats him in violation of his sins, has also been resolved. Now he has nothing to worry about. .
So, with Nicholas’s consent, the soldiers of Epirus set up camps to make fires and cook food. It just so happened that the river downstream was rich in water and grass, and they could finally have a meal.
The completely relaxed Epirus army did not send out guard posts, scattered and rested. Soldiers scattered around to the river and chopped some reed grass, and they were ready to start a fire. Some people set up grills. Some people buried their pots and utensils, and some took the opportunity to dry their clothes that had been soaked to clean the mud. I saw the curling fireworks rising from the camp, and the food robbed from the village before, no matter how good or bad it was, was stewed in a pot by the Epirus people, but even so hungry they still felt the smell.
But what these Epirus people didn’t know was that their every move at this time was already in sight by another group of people not far away. When the smoke rose not far away, Justinian had already guessed that it was an Epirus. Under the guidance of little Dmitry, the Justinian army rushing all the way finally caught up with the opponent, but even this was a long time. In order to avoid exposure, Justinian and the army behind him have been starving and dare not make hot pots. Fortunately, all the hard work has not been in vain.
“Master Justinian, let’s go!” Looking at the flag of the Epirus camp from a distance, little Dmitri, whose eyes were about to breathe fire, took the initiative to ask for a fight. What he has been waiting for is now. As soon as the words fell, some soldiers from Pebble Castle under his command were also eager to try, but not everyone thought that way.巘戅Long-Reading Novel 9DuXm戅
Just listen to Justinian, the deputy company captain of Godric stood up and objected: “Master Justinian, the soldiers have no chance to breathe all the way through the mountains and rivers. They are already exhausted. I see if I want to start. Taking advantage of the enemy’s not finding a rest for a while before launching an offensive, it’s more certain.” It’s not timid, Godric, who is loyal to Justinian, thinks that since the enemy has reached the predetermined position and will not leave for a while, then There is no need to take the risk of launching an active offense, it is better to wait for work here.
But Justinian quickly rejected his idea, saying: “We are both weak and exhausted now, and the situation is beneficial to us. Now that the military is available, we should take preemptive actions instead of The opportunity should be missed. Little Dmitry is right, we should take the initiative.”
Justinian knew all about the fatigue of his subordinates, but while they were regaining their strength here, the Epirus people stationed in the distance were also rested and rehabilitated. Moreover, the more time dragged on, the more they would have. The possibility was exposed, so they could not allow them to hesitate here. Justinian issued a combat order to the officers under his command to make the final mobilization of the whole army.厺厽Read the novel for a long time 9duxs.com厺厽
……
The camp of Epirus~www.mtlnovel.com~ In order to fetch water and make fire for cooking, Nicholas’s army set up camp near the reeds without any vigilance. In their opinion, there is no danger in this kind of wilderness. . After experiencing a high-intensity march, the Epirus people completely relaxed and did not notice that the Albanian Bogdani brought the Pindus mountain people closer and closer in the reed swamp not far away. For this kind of thing, Albanians are as proficient as drinking water and eating, and being good at marching in the mountains, the Albanians led by Bogdani still maintain 100% combat effectiveness. Getting closer and closer to the enemy camp, the noise in the Epirus camp, which had many times the number of him, also got closer, and from time to time, soldiers from the enemy camp came to the reeds for easy interpretation. But Bogdani and the mountain people still leaned down, cats their waists, wade through the silt-filled reeds, and watched the rest of the Epirus people as they approached them. They were still unaware, everywhere. It was all crude and lax laughter.
As Brother Sergius said, these Albanian mountain people are not ordinary savages, but warriors who truly master the art of killing on the battlefield.
A sharp cluster of arrows suddenly shot out from the reeds, as the opening remarks, the arc that was too late to react slid through the air, shuttled through the heads of people who had not yet reacted, and hit a positive with a chuckle. The soldier holding a hip flask and drinking with his heart came out of his belly and opened a hole. The soldier’s head was swaying, and after a while he saw the arrow feathers in his lower abdomen amidst the exclamation of his companion. The bright red liquid could not stop. I live bursting out from the inside, and I don’t know if it is my own blood or the wine just poured in my stomach.
