Black Iron Crown

Chapter 384 The Ambush in the Forest

September 22nd, twenty-five years of the Empire.

Today's weather is very merciful to Rainer, it is a rare cloudy day.

He was extremely arrogant on weekdays, and the sun that radiated his powerful heat was also covered by dark clouds behind, and he no longer obeyed the previous arrogance.

Reiner looked at the cloudy sky, although there was a kind of sultriness before the storm, but it was better than being exposed to the sun under the scorching sun.

But unfortunately, Reiner was not happy about it.

Because his plan was to burn the enemy's food and grass, he was very worried that it would rain just as soon as he set fire to the food.

"Be careful Reiner, if you succeed, you will be the biggest contributor! Everyone will cheer for you!" Hiding his worries deeply in his heart, Reiner turned his attention to Earl Jollal.

Earl Jolar stood at the gate of the city and looked at Reiner, making an expression he thought was affectionate, but with his rough figure and whiskers, it looked so nondescript.

"Don't worry, I will succeed!" Reiner smiled and waved to Earl Jollal, and at the same time nodded towards Earl Princeton.

Today is the day for the battle appointment. In addition to the knights and light cavalry led by Leiner, the other lords will also lead the army through the city gate to the agreed place two hours later.

The soldiers on both sides add up to close to 60,000. Fortunately, this is a plain, otherwise it would not be easy to set up a battle.

"Master Yan, the enemy's food and grass are hidden in this small forest. If you hadn't asked us to expand the search area, we wouldn't have found it here!" Tilihan handed the map in his hand to Reiner.

Reiner took the map and nodded, and said, "Very well, let's go into the woods quietly, try not to startle the snake!"

The distance of 27 kilometers can be reached in about three or four hours under the condition that Leiner led the soldiers galloping on marching horses.

After all, the front line still needs to be lined up, and it may take a long time for such a large-scale army to get all in place, not to mention that Leiner left Castlen Castle in advance.

Leiner got off the horse first, and Baron Valas followed behind Leiner with the blood-colored Griffin Knights. The fief knights went alone without their retinues. Besides, there were 120 retinues , as well as the cavalry archer and his two hundred steppe cavalry brought by Tillihan.

A total of four hundred and fifty people came to this dense forest like this.

Reiner looked at the dark clouds in the sky, feeling slightly worried.

"Don't let it rain at this time..."

As time went by, Leiner brought this huge team to the outside of this not-so-dense forest.

Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker, and the insignificant light that the sun had finally revealed was completely covered, as if entering the night in an instant.

At this moment, the strong wind began to howl, and there was a rustling sound in the woods, and countless leaves fluttered wildly in the wind.

The gust of wind whimpered, just like howling ghosts and wolves in the dark night, very terrifying.

"Oh! Damn it! The wind is making it harder for us to move!"

A knight cursed in a low voice,

His burqa had been torn wide open, thanks to the wind-blown branches.

"There... there won't be any monsters and ghosts in this deep forest, right?" A servant next to Leiner couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and goosebumps all over his body when he heard the whimpering of the strong wind.

In such a dark and windy forest, the young man couldn't help but think of some horror stories he had read and heard in the past.

Thinking of those, his hair shuddered, and he felt a chill down his back.

Baron Valas walked to Reiner's side and said, "My lord, we may have to hurry up. If we move fast enough, we can burn the enemy's food and grass before it rains. Judging from the current situation, it will take at least an hour. It's going to rain!"

The strong wind almost broke the red feathers on the helmet of Baron Valas, but such a scene did not make him feel scared.

Demons and ghosts are really nothing to him.

In his world, suppressing orcs is their daily job, exterminating vampires is a hired task, and getting rid of ghosts is their security activity, and only crusade against demons requires dangerous actions.

He had seen countless scenes that were even scarier than before, and the mere dark clouds and strong winds couldn't disturb his state of mind.

After comparing the surrounding environment, after confirming that the granary is not far from here, Reiner said: "Everyone get on the horse! Speed ​​up and rush to the enemy's granary, victory and glory will eventually belong to us!"

Everyone got on their horses and trotted towards the granary behind Leiner.

"Frante, you are right, they actually came to attack our granary!" Baron Lindauer squatted on the ground, hiding behind a tree, and said to Frante in surprise.

The strong wind and the woods covered their traces, and more than two thousand soldiers and nearly one hundred knights were perfectly hidden in the forest.

"Get ready, let's set off immediately and surround the enemy!" Frant's goal is not only to prevent the granary from being attacked, she also intends to keep all the incoming troops here.

Reiner was already a little excited at this time, he could already imagine how his reputation would increase after he burned the enemy's food and grass.

"The sword of the royal family? The Merland eagle?" Reiner fantasized in his heart what kind of title he would have at that time. Anyway, he didn't like the title of despicable and shameless sneak attacker very much.

Thinking of this, he had no idea that there was another army behind him, planning to annihilate him here.

Because Leiner was trotting forward on a war horse, there was some distance between him and Frante's soldiers, but this was exactly what Frante wanted.

After walking for about ten minutes, Leiner vaguely saw some tall and connected yellow columns in front of him.

This should be the enemy's food, Reiner thought to himself, and shouted at the same time: "Speed ​​up! The enemy's food is ahead! Destroy their weak guards! Glory belongs to us!"

Rainer shouted, and the soldiers skillfully switched from the backs of the marching horses to the war horses, without even slowing down the horses in the middle.

"Fence?" Leiner looked at the two-meter-high fence in front of him, which looked like a horse-repelling fence. He subconsciously felt something was wrong, but he didn't take it to heart.

Because the main force of the enemy army is all fighting against the rebels in front, it is impossible to have too many soldiers defending here. It is already prudent for Leiner to bring so many knights.

It was easy to rush into the fence through a gap, and the knights scattered one after another, massacring the enemies with their long swords and horseshoes. In just a few minutes, the defenders here were wiped out.

Just when Leiner complacently ordered the cavalry archers to take out the flint and start to ignite the enemy's food and grass, a burst of arrows piercing through the air screamed into everyone's ears. ...
