Lord Chronicle

Chapter 184 Attacking the Fortress
Three days later, this army with the wounded successfully crossed the mountains and found Pintat's camp in the Ruhrland where his troops were assembled.

This camp is located in a small town called Luckis in the Ruhr Territory. All the residents in the town were evacuated and all the houses were converted into barracks.That's it, the town is still surrounded by endless military tents.

With the lessons learned from last time, the troops who came to support from various territories were all under the command of Pintat.In order to prevent any more lords from acting arbitrarily, King Robert has given him full power to rule the nobility.

After entering the town, the officers sent by Pintat were responsible for relocating the troops and sending the wounded to treatment.And Saul saw the veteran again in the headquarters rebuilt by the town hall.

Compared with the last time we met at the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress, Pintat looked much older. Obviously, the blow from the last fiasco had not passed on him.

However, this veteran is still so energetic, with a hearty laugh, and his bald head is still so bright.

As soon as he saw Sol, Pintat greeted him: "Master Sol, now I should call you Your Excellency the Marquis."

Sol smiled helplessly: "General Pintat is too polite, you should just call me Sol."

Not only because of Gein's relationship, he has full respect for this veteran who is the pillar of Dinar.

Different from the politeness of the last meeting, Pintat nodded bluntly: "There are no outsiders here, so I won't talk so much about etiquette."

As he said that, he put his arms around Sol's shoulder affectionately, and brought him into the house: "I have never had a chance to thank you for the matter of Gein. That kid can achieve what he is now, thanks to you as a good friend."

Knowing that he was referring to the Diviji Castle, Sol hurriedly said: "You are too polite, it was all Gein's idea, I was just helping a little."

Pintat snorted: "I don't know him yet? That kid is arrogant and impulsive, how could he come up with such a clever tactic. If he hadn't met you in Ferris, he might have been killed by the Lulin people long ago. gone."

Like all fathers, Pintat had almost strict demands on Gein.However, in this seemingly reproachful words, he can still clearly feel his love for his son.

For Pintat, there is nothing he can be more proud of than Gein being able to sit on a side at a young age.

Knowing his temper, Saul no longer defended himself, otherwise he would make Pinta, who has a straightforward personality, very unhappy.

At this time, Pintat asked again: "Is your subordinate, Kress, here? I have a few good young people under my command. Let them have a chance to learn from each other."

Pintat had been obsessed with Kress since he last saw him.

In fact, all the soldiers who met Kress wanted to draw him into their command.

Thor shook his head: "He didn't come with me, he is with Darth now."

Pintat said strangely: "By the way, I received a report that His Royal Highness Das should lead the troops to support me. Why are you leading the team now?"

This incident really made me sad when I mentioned it, and Saul was extremely embarrassed: "This... the situation is a bit complicated. In short, I met him in the northern wilderness, and then I was abducted by that kid."

"Northern wilderness?" Pintat said hastily, "Speaking of which, His Majesty the King has evacuated the defenders of Broken Sword Gorge Fortress. Has the orc matter really been resolved?"

Sol nodded: "Yes, the orcs have withdrawn from Broken Sword Gorge Fortress."

Pintat suddenly stared at Thor meaningfully: "I have heard rumors that you suggested that the king win over the barbarians on the frozen plateau to contain the orcs. This is a very clever strategy. So, it is true. related to you?"

Sol didn't know what to say for a while: "Uh... how to put it, let's say it. Now that the orcs have exhausted their strength, it is estimated that they will not be able to threaten us again in a few decades."

"What, are you serious?" Pintat said excitedly.

As the head of the northern army, he has spent almost his entire life fighting against the orcs. Hearing this news now, how could he not be extremely excited.

Because of Amada, Saul has no intention of showing off about this matter now.However, seeing that Pintat reacted so strongly, he had no choice but to say: "Yes. A series of failures at the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress and the Frozen Plateau have caused heavy losses to the orcs. Uroel, who has just taken power, has also been questioned, and the regime is unstable."

"In addition, the werewolves took the opportunity to create chaos, which made the situation even worse. At present, the orc empire is in chaos, and it will never recover in a short time."

Pintat couldn't help but let out a long breath: "When the country was strong in the past, we were no match for the orcs at all. Who would have thought that when Lulin invaded and the whole country was in jeopardy, we solved this centuries-old enemy in one fell swoop. , Unexpected, really unexpected."

As he spoke, he couldn't help shaking his head with emotion.

He said to Thor seriously: "Seize Diviji Castle, threatening Lulin's most important supply line; win over the Bamuk Empire, break the Lulin people's conspiracy behind attacking us through the way; defeat the orcs, and solve our biggest problem on the northern border. threat."

"Since the outbreak of the war, every time Dinar is in danger, there will always be something that makes us turn the corner, and behind all these things, there is your shadow. It can be said that we have not been defeated by the Lulin Empire so far, thanks to to your credit."

After that, he let out a long sigh: "Gary really gave birth to a good son."

Now Sol is most afraid of mentioning these things. These achievements sound really impressive, but Sol knows the truth of high achievements.

Now is wartime, and what he has done is naturally admired by everyone.But once the war is over, who knows if someone will make a big fuss about it?

No matter how high the title of Sir Sol was, no matter how much he made, he was still just a small Lord of Lovell.Unless he decides to start an ambitious fight for power now, it's better not to show off too much.

Thinking of this, he quickly changed the subject: "You are talking too much. If it weren't for you to restrain Lu Lin's army, they would have invaded the Northern Territory long ago. I am just a small lord. Speaking of it, I should thank you for protecting me. Where is my territory?"

Seeming to have caught something from his words, Pinta smiled meaningfully: "Hehe, unlike the rumors, you are such a humble person. It is really his luck that Gein has you as a friend."

So Pintat stopped mentioning those things, and instead asked: "So, where is Das now? And your troops suffered a lot of casualties, so what's going on?"

Sol said: "I'm going to tell you about this, but let's go one by one first."

"Alright." Pintat patted his bald head embarrassedly: "In order to assemble the troops in the shortest possible time, I'm used to treating several things as one."

Saul sat opposite Pintat: "Actually... this time we were ordered to come out, and we encountered the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment in Pahidi Territory."

"What!?" Pintat was taken aback again.

He said nervously: "Where did they come from, and where are they now?"

Since the last night attack, the Black Cavalry has become one of the greatest threats to the Dinard army.

Sol quickly said: "Don't worry, they have been killed by us."

"What..." Pintat showed a look of incomprehension.

Then, he realized immediately, "What? You mean, the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment was wiped out by you?"

That appearance was ten times more surprising than hearing Thor meet the Black Armored Cavalry.

"Yes, it's in the mountains of the Geting branch." Sol nodded.

Pintat muttered in a daze, "How is it possible..."

Then hurriedly said: "What is going on, please explain clearly."

So Thor briefly explained how he heard information from the thieves, how he set fire to drive the Black Armored Cavalry into the mountains, and how he set up an ambush to kill them.

Of course, here he tried to simplify his role as much as possible, especially the use of Thunderhawk to wipe out the black armored cavalry, otherwise, he would really be a monster in Pintat's eyes.

Even so, Pintat still couldn't help taking a deep breath: "You juniors really amaze me more and more."

Following him excitedly said: "I didn't expect the Black Armored Cavalry to fall so inexplicably. Hehe, now I don't have to worry about being attacked by the Lulin people. I must hold a banquet tonight to celebrate."

Thor hurriedly said: "Don't rush to celebrate. The reason why Das is not here is because he has led his troops to follow the path of the Black Armored Cavalry to attack the Lulin people instead."

"Huh?" Pintat's eyes widened.

Sol then told Darth's crazy counterattack plan again.

He finally said: "I came here to send the wounded to recuperate. The second is to ask you to use this good opportunity to send troops quickly and cooperate with Das to completely capture the fortress of the Lulin people."

Perhaps because he had heard too many surprising things in a short period of time, Pintat couldn't help shaking his head: "I didn't expect that, hehe, it seems that we old guys are really going to retire soon."

Thor tentatively asked, "So, will you send troops?"

Pintat slapped the table: "Such a good opportunity, of course we can't let it go. Although there are still some recruits who haven't completed their training, we can't handle that much anymore."

Never dragging his feet in this decision, Pintat is worthy of the name of a famous general.

He said to Sol: "I'm going to call someone to discuss the matter of dispatching troops, and I also need you to give a detailed explanation of the situation. Let's settle it at the meeting for dinner."

What else could Saul say about this?I had no choice but to pretend to readily agree.

Alas, this damn war should end soon, I want to go home...

************************************************** ************************************
For the next five days, Pintat conducted one of the most efficient mobilizations for war.

The troops of nearly 10 people, many of whom were recruits who had just been recruited, were armed in the shortest possible time, compiled the battle order, and were ready to go.

At the same time, all kinds of axle loads, supplies, war horses and other materials were gathered together for wartime deployment.

With the town of Lukis as the center, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in just a few days, and mountains of supplies piled up like flowing water, and then flowed to every combatant.

Then, in the early morning of the sixth day, after a simple mobilization order, the army was divided into two parts, the vanguard and the main force, and began to march towards Lulin's fortress.

During this period, the scout troops who set off two days in advance have begun to send back all kinds of information.

From this information, Thor and the others learned that Darth's counterattack was very successful.It took them four days to reach the Lulin camp along the route of the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment's sneak attack, and they were caught off guard.

After occupying a stronghold outside the fortress and burning the supplies inside, Das and his group immediately evacuated without stopping, not giving the Lulin people any chance to confront them head-on.

Then in the next few days, they used their high mobility to fight a mobile battle centered on the Lulin Fortress.Constantly raid outposts, convoys, strongholds and camps, doing whatever it takes to wreak havoc.

Most of the Lulin army in the fortress was mainly infantry. After losing the black armored cavalry regiment, they couldn't fight or catch up with the cavalry led by Das. They had no way to deal with it.

More importantly, when Das and the others attacked the Lulin people wearing the armor of the black cavalry, the psychological blow to the opponent was far greater than any actual loss.

In the eyes of the Lulin people, the black armored cavalry is invincible.Unexpectedly, suddenly, the armor of the strongest army they were proud of appeared on the enemy, which shocked them so much that they couldn't be more shocked.

Although there has been no news that the black armored cavalry were completely wiped out, the Lulin people must have guessed that something bad happened to them.So facing this enemy who might have defeated the black armored cavalry, they lost all confidence.

It is under this advantage that Darth and the others achieved amazing results.According to the latest intelligence, in just a few days, Das pulled out most of the outer strongholds of the Lulin army fortress and cut off their material supply with the outside world, almost isolating a fortress in Nuoda.

As the situation ebbs and flows, the morale of Dinar's side is high.Pintat immediately commanded the troops to speed up their pace, and the Dinar army began to kill the Lulin army with the strongest momentum since the outbreak of the war.

Two days later, the forwards of the army made their first contact with the outer defenders of the Lulin people.

As expected, the low-morale Lulin army collapsed in the first battle, leaving a few outposts and retreating.After realizing that this was not a tactic to lure the enemy, Pintat no longer had any scruples and commanded the army to move forward as fast as possible.

The next few days were the smoothest since Dinard fought Lulin.The army was in full swing, constantly regaining lost ground, and soon advanced to the fortress of the Lulin Army.

After that, there is Southern Avenue.Once the Dinar army is allowed to occupy the southern avenue, it will completely cut off the material supply of Lulin's main force on the front line of Overland, and the battle situation will completely change by then.

Knowing that there was no way out, the commander of the Lulin Army also went all out.He fully contracted the nearby troops, used the strongholds outside the fortress to build a defensive network, and assumed the posture of a decisive battle with the Dinar people.

Pintat naturally wouldn't be afraid of Yu Wei after the black armored cavalry regiment was wiped out.Thus, since the last disastrous defeat of the Northern Legion, a battle between Dinard and Lulin, who had been silent for a long time, finally broke out to determine the fate of both sides.

What?What great achievements did Sol have during this period?
Please, you are really a professional soldier as our young master Saul?Hmph, this time of course he...did nothing.

Anyway, as a majestic Marquis, when Pintat marched, Sol was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to leave, so he could only follow the large army.

But this time the commander-in-chief was Pintat, and Sol did not have a military position, so he was happy and leisurely all the way, just leisurely waiting for dinner in the barracks every day.

In this way, the momentum ahead was like a rainbow, and the battle was fierce. He Saul was lucky, and evaluating the skills of the chefs in the army every day became the most important activity in his daily life.

For this guy who eats and drinks, Pintat is too focused on fighting to pay attention to him.General Pintat remained silent, and the rest of the army did not dare to provoke this legendary hero, Lord Marquis.Anyway, three meals a day are delicious and delicious, and there is not much food wasted.

Ever since, Young Master Sol participated in this battle that determined the fate of the two countries with this strange gesture.
