Lord of the North

The war between Roland and Baron Dongte was in full swing, although the army led by Siegfried had the upper hand in terms of morale.

But the enemy's tenacious resistance also made them feel extremely troublesome, after all, their number was twice as large as their own.

All soldiers are under tremendous pressure.

On the other side, a scout cavalryman hurried back from outside the pass at the Baria pass, and rode straight into Atum's house on horseback with a token in hand.

"Urgent military situation! Urgent military situation! Urgent military situation! Everyone get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

He held up the token in his hand and roared. Just as he arrived outside Atum's residence, the war horse under his crotch fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth. It could no longer hold up after running for a long time.

Even if he could save his life, he could only spend the rest of his life in a stable. This war horse was useless.

Atum's guards took a closer look, and it turned out to be Master Atum's token. It was difficult to stop this person immediately, and they all gave way.

Atum inside had already heard the commotion outside, and walked out of his room.

He already guessed what it was.

"Don't panic, speak slowly." He looked at the travel-worn scout with red eyes and tired face and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord."

The scout cavalry calmed down their emotions, and then said in a deep voice: "My lord, the enemy has reached the south of the Baria pass less than a hundred miles away, and they will be able to reach the Barea pass at the latest in the morning of the day after tomorrow."

"What about the quantity?"

Atum narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked solemnly, the number of troops they invaded this time must not be less.

"The subordinates are incompetent and dare not approach the enemy's army formation, but a rough estimate is no less than 40,000!"

The scout replied.

Because the enemy's army has cavalry clearing the way, and there are still unknown numbers of scouts patrolling nearby, these scout cavalry at Baria Pass dare not approach them at all, so they can only observe from a distance and draw a rough estimate.

Atum took a deep breath when he heard the words. Although he had already guessed, he was still shocked when he actually heard the number.

However, he still pretended to be calm on the surface and said to the scout: "Thank you for your hard work, go and collect a bounty, and then go back and have a good rest."

"Thank you, my lord!"

After the scouts left, Atum stood on the spot and thought for a while. It was still very difficult to block the army several times his own with only the thousands of soldiers at the Baria Pass.

Basically, he can already be sure that if he only relies on his own troops to defend the Barea Pass, the result will probably be the same as when Cecil confronted him.

"Notify all the senior generals in the pass, and gather in the chamber in half an hour."

He raised his head and said to the guards on the side that he couldn't think of a way at this time, so he could only turn to his colleagues for help.

Especially the Ani commander from the province of Lucca, Atum always felt that this young general with a low official position was a little unfathomable.

The scout said that the enemy army would arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, but in fact Earl Hicks led his army to the outside of the Baria Pass the next afternoon, less than five miles away from the Baria Pass. The place is camped out.

The charming Hetty also put on a piece of armor and stood beside him at this time, but even if she put on the armor, she still wanted to show off her figure.

The hot figure with protruding front and back turned even more attractive after putting on a light armor.

"My lord, with the height of the wall at this pass, I think we can break through it in less than a day."

Her soft and boneless body was lightly pressed against Earl Hicks' arm, but both of them were wearing armor so they didn't feel anything.

"Easy to attack but difficult to defend. Your Royal Highness has left me with a big problem." Hicks said calmly as he glanced at the Barea Pass shrouded in smoke and dust in the distance.

"Yes, it won't be too difficult to break through this pass,

The rare thing is how to hold it until the arrival of follow-up reinforcements. "

Hetty nodded approvingly. In order to prevent Hicks from being greedy, Phil's solitary army was surrounded and suppressed by Jason's assembled troops, so he gave a death order. After breaking through the Baria pass, he must stay here and wait for the next one. The arrival of the Third Heavy Armored Corps and other local armies.

Otherwise, maybe Hicks would really lead his 50,000 army to wipe out the three northern provinces, and even if he added another Jalan province, he would be sure to defeat them in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that his highness really made a fuss over a molehill, in his opinion, that's the way it is.

"Why don't I sneak in tonight and kill that Atum, so that the pass can be breached without an attack?"

Hetty rolled her eyes. Although her strength was only at the level of a great knight, she was very confident in her stealth assassination skills.

"no!"

Hicks immediately rejected her proposal without hesitation. Although the plan was indeed attractive, they didn't know the situation in the Baria Pass.

"I absolutely disagree!" After finishing speaking, he emphasized again.

"Order the whole army to rest and reorganize, and launch an attack on the Baria Pass tomorrow morning. Let the slaves eat something good tonight."

Then Earl Hicks turned his head and walked away, without giving Hetty a chance to continue persuading, while walking, he gave orders to the guards who had been following behind him with their heads bowed.

"They will thank you for your kindness." The guard immediately offered a flattery.

"kindness?"

Earl Hicks sneered: "The gold bars may thank me for my kindness, but I think they won't think so tomorrow."

After a siege battle, less than 400 of the 4,000 slaves could survive, but they would not mind using them as cannon fodder in order to get rid of their status as slaves.

Hetty, who was behind him, also followed behind him step by step, but she didn't bring up the previous topic again. Judging from the tone of his answer just now, she knew that Hicks would not agree, but she was quite happy.

Compared to the chaos in the north, Marquis Asa didn't have so many worries, because he was already standing on the wall of Qianlong Fortress.

After a whole night of raids and sieges last night, the generals defending the Qianglong Fortress finally expressed their surrender to him this afternoon.

A total of 3,000 surrendered soldiers were collected by him, and they may be scattered and incorporated into his own army in the future.

"Master Marquis, this is the battle report from the north."

At this time, Marquis Asa was leaning on his spear against the city wall while resting and admiring the afterglow of the sunset. One of his men handed him a scroll of animal skin.
