Lord Chronicle

Chapter 101

Maybe it was because he was too tired during the day, but Sol slept so deeply that night that Kress shook for a long time before he woke up in a daze.

"Kress?" Saul muttered dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?"

"My lord, get up quickly, something has happened!"

His words made Sol wake up, and he sat up abruptly, his ears filled with the chaotic yelling, wailing, killing and the neighing of war horses outside the tent.

Sol rushed out of the tent as fast as he could, and what he saw immediately stunned him.

The entire barracks was completely in disarray, and there was a fire everywhere in the camp, with thick smoke rising into the sky.Countless soldiers ran around like headless chickens, and their shouts resounded through the night sky.Because the layout of the camp was too chaotic, many people simply ran around aimlessly.

Some quick-witted officers gathered soldiers without knowing where to go or what to do.The frightened war horses ran wildly in the camp, dragging down countless tents, and the firelight reflected those terrified figures, and the chaos was spreading exponentially.

"What's going on here?" Saul asked Kress back.

Kress also looked at a loss: "I don't know, I just fell asleep and was woken up by the night watch team members. This is already the case below."

"By the way, where is Chip? Where is he?" Saul asked quickly when he mentioned the Yeying players.

At this time, the entire camp was awakened, and the defenders looked at the chaos below in a daze.Since the place where they camped was relatively high, they hadn't been affected for a while.

Hearing Sol's words, a guard ran over: "Kip took the other Yeying players down just now, and I don't know what to do."

"Damn, what's going on?" Even Chip slipped away, and Sol was shocked and angry.

I'm not so unlucky, I'm only here for the first night, and my ass is still hot, and this kind of inexplicable thing happened, who did I offend?

While Saul was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a noise from the defenders: "They are back."

Sol hurriedly turned around, only to see Chip walking towards him with a sullen face, followed by the Yeying players.

"Chip, where were you just now? What's going on next?" He asked hastily.

Chip shook his head: "There is no time to explain, Lord Lord, let's run away."

"What?" Monk Suo Erzhang was puzzled, "Why did you run away?"

"We've been attacked." Chip said in a deep voice.

"Is it an enemy? How many are there?" Sol suddenly became nervous.

Chip said with a serious face: "The ones attacking from the front are the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment, and the ones attacking from the left are the Madmen's Regiment. Although it is not confirmed, I think many Yeying troops also came in. The fire was their masterpiece."

"Four, three of the four major ace troops have come?" Kress exclaimed before he finished speaking.

The above three troops are all the trump cards of the Lulin Empire Army, and it was their masterpiece to encircle the Western Army back then.I didn't expect to appear here again suddenly, and directly attacked my own camp.

The fighting power of these three troops is unquestionable, especially the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment who is good at charging and the Madman Regiment who are good at attacking fortifications, their destructive power is even more terrifying.If these three troops were really attacking the camp, the current mob from various territories in the military camp would have no power to fight back.

Others naturally knew what these three troops meant. Kress' words immediately caused a buzz of discussion among the defenders, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces.

"Is the information accurate?" The cold sweat dripped down Sol's back.

Chip nodded confidently: "I have dealt with them a lot in the army, so I can be sure."

"Then shouldn't we go down and help resist? As long as we can drive them away..." Sol said.

Before he finished speaking, Chip interrupted him sharply: "This is impossible! Please be sober, Lord Lord, this barracks is finished, and there is no chance of winning at present. We are going to die, we must pay attention before they notice. Get out of here before you get here!"

He had never seen such an expression on his face before, and Thor took another look at the barracks below.At this time, the fire had spread to the entire camp, and there were people rushing around everywhere. A cavalry unit with men and horses in black armor was like a ghost in the night, rampaging in the camp, killing the Dinar soldiers along the way. .

At present, there is no sign of any effective resistance from the Dinar army. On the contrary, many troops on the edge of the camp have begun to flee, and many people have flocked to the surrounding woods.

Thor knew that what Chip said was true, this barracks, this army was completely finished, and there was no possibility of any resistance.The only thing left is how many people can escape.

"Abandon all axle loads, bring weapons and dry food, let's go!" Seeing a small group of black armored cavalry start to gallop here, Thor no longer hesitated.

With an order, everyone took action immediately, and the guards took their weapons and dry food, and quietly abandoned the camp and retreated.It has to be said that the camping site chosen by Chip is indeed very ingenious. The front is facing the barracks, so you can see everything at a glance, and the back is densely forested mountains. Once you retreat into it, the enemy will never catch a trace of them.

Chip did his job well, and Yeying team members had already explored the way in the woods behind. At this time, under their leadership, a group of people quickly fled into the depths of the dense forest, leaving the killing field-like military camp far away.

Not long after, when the black armored cavalry charged up the hillside, all they were left with was a bunch of empty and scattered tents...

************************************************** *******************************
"Where should we run?" Sol asked Chip as he ran in the woods.

Chip said calmly: "Across the mountain in front is the path we walked, there should be no enemies there yet."

"What should we do next?" Kress asked blankly.

He came out of Lowell with pride, but he didn't know that he didn't go to the battlefield, and the barracks was kicked by the enemy on the first day. This was completely different from the life of the guards who fought the enemy bravely and fought bloody battles in their imagination.Now everyone feels at a loss, with no direction on what to do next.

To be honest, Thor didn't feel much better than them, but he just kept sighing in his heart about his bad luck.For him, of course, wars can be avoided if possible, but Lao Tzu's luck is too bad, right?On the first day of arriving at the barracks, he had to run for his life like a bereaved dog, which did not bode well.

But of course this kind of thought can't be shown on his face, so he had no choice but to say: "Let's escape first, and then we can decide on the next plan according to the situation. I hope we don't lose too badly, otherwise, even if we escape back to Lovell, we won't be safe." A few days."

Kress nodded, fell back a little bit, and let the defenders follow up with a low drink.There are also advantages of having fewer people, especially when the soldiers are defeated and fleeing for their lives, a small group of troops can move quickly and can flexibly respond to any unexpected situation.

At this moment, a Yeying team member who explored the road appeared silently from the front of the team, and made a gesture to Chip from afar.Chip's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Stop quickly."

The order was conveyed quickly, and the fast-running team stopped immediately.The guards were panting, you looked at me, I looked at you, not knowing what happened.

"What's going on?" Chip asked after the Yeying player came over.

"The enemy has been spotted ahead." The team member replied.

"What?" Everyone was shocked. Could it be that we are already surrounded?

Chip was as calm as ever: "Which army is it? How many people are there?"

Yeying team members exhaled slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Mountain Special Corps, with about 200 people."

"Mountain Special Corps!" Even Chip couldn't help being moved.

The Mountain Special Corps is one of the four ace troops of Lulin, which is as famous as the Black Armored Cavalry.This corps is best at fighting in mountains and jungles, and it is said that its combat effectiveness is second only to the "forest guards" who the elves are proud of.

When the other three of the four aces were active on the battlefield, this corps seemed to disappear, and no news about them was heard for three months.Therefore, the Dinar army believed that they did not participate in this war, but stayed in Lulin to monitor the mountain barbarians in the southern region, but they would encounter them here.

The arrival of all the four ace armies shows that Lulin is determined to completely defeat the northern army, and open a gap from the northern region when the battle in Overland comes to a stalemate.

The appearance of the Mountain Special Corps nearby indicated that the enemy had expected that there would be fish that slipped through the net and escaped into the dense forest, and now many people may have been killed by them.Judging from the various performances in the area tonight, this is not a simple attack on the camp, but a very premeditated military operation.

"Is there any other way out?" Chip asked the Yeying player.

Before he could answer, Lesta couldn't help shouting: "What are you afraid of, they only have 200 people, we can definitely rush over."

"That's right, my lord, give an order and let those guys see how powerful we are." Some guards also echoed.

He became a deserter for no reason, and now everyone is full of anger.Hearing that the opponent is an ace unit, it inspired the courage of this group of young people who are not afraid of the sky and the earth.

Chip said decisively: "No, we have no chance of winning at all."

"But now the enemy has surrounded this place. If we take another route, we may still be surrounded. Why don't we just rush over, as long as we climb over the mountain in front of us, we will be safe." Kress retorted.

Chip shook his head: "The four ace armies are not as simple as you imagine. Even the mountain barbarians who have ravaged the mountainous area in the south of Lulin for hundreds of years will flee when they encounter the mountain corps. I know your strength, but there is no such thing in the jungle. Anyone is their opponent."

After arguing, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Saul.Sol also felt embarrassed at this moment. If he changed the direction of escape now, who knew how many mountain corps members were already in this forest, and it might not be as simple as meeting 200 people by then.

However, although he has never fought them head-on, he can infer the opponent's combat effectiveness only from the strength of the Yeying troops. Although his own defense team is elite, he may not be an opponent.Even if he could forcefully break through the siege, most of the people present would probably lose their lives. This was a loss he could never bear.

After hesitating again and again, Sol finally decided to trust Chip.He nodded and said, "Changed lanes."

His words made Chip secretly relieved. Under his gaze, the Yeying team member said: "The right side has been completely blocked, and there may be a chance to go to the left."

Now that the order had been issued, the aggrieved guards stopped arguing. The group bypassed the enemy in front, changed direction and gradually walked deep into the dense forest.

Under Chip's arrangement, all Yeying team members spread out in a fan shape as the lead. With the help of their excellent detection ability, the group successfully avoided the ambushes of several groups of mountain corps.

But in this strange place, not even Kip could get his bearings.After several detours, everyone had completely lost their original direction, they just kept fleeing from one place to another, avoiding the enemy's search like frightened birds.

Fortunately, after a night of running away, the group finally managed to get out of the encirclement the next morning.

When the morning light fell, everyone was already on the edge of a forested cliff.Looking from them, wisps of black smoke that hadn't cleared from the military camp in the distance could be clearly seen, and in the jungle below, there were one or two dying screams from time to time.

"Where are we now?" Thor asked, turning his head.

Chip shook his head, "I don't know."

Judging from the position of the barracks, they have completely deviated from their original direction. The original route of retreat is full of enemy troops, and it is impossible to go any further. For the current plan, they can only leave this jungle first and find another way.

My luck is really good...

Sighing in his heart, Sol stretched his waist facing the sun: "The hide-and-seek is over, let's go."

************************************************** ******************************
"Hey, Kress, is there anything else to eat?" Saul asked Kress while rubbing his gurgling stomach.

After taking out the dry food bag and shaking it a few times, Kress had a bitter expression on his face: "We don't have anything to eat, Lord Lord."

This was the fourth day the people had escaped. After wandering around the rolling hills for four days, they lost their way completely.And because they left in a hurry and only brought a small amount of dry food, since last night, this embarrassed army has completely run out of food.

Since there are no coordinates for reference, no one knows where they are now. Anyway, looking around, there are seemingly endless mountains in all directions.

Looking at the empty pocket, Sol's last trace of strength also disappeared.Exhausted, he sat down on the ground and lamented, "Oh my god, I can't walk anymore."

Due to the frequent running around, Sol's physical strength has been much better than before, but running around the mountains for several days in a row, and not having eaten anything since last night, he finally couldn't take it anymore.

Seeing him sitting down, the people around him also stopped.Without Sol's instructions, the guards spontaneously took off their sabers and sat on the ground, buying time to recover their strength.

It has to be said that the people who came out with him this time have excellent physical fitness.Although they haven't eaten for most of the day, the team members in full armor still maintain a good mental state, but if the food problem is not solved, they will collapse sooner or later.

"I've sent people to explore the road, and news will come back soon." Chip comforted him.

These days, whether it is outposts to explore the way, or to find water sources, or to guard at night, thanks to those Yeying players, the group of people can go to the present without incident.

Knowing that it was useless to be anxious, Sol had no choice but to nod and rested with his back against the big tree.Looking at the mountains stretching to the end of his vision, he couldn't help muttering to himself, we won't really starve to death in this ghost place, right?
After a short rest, the hunger in his stomach was getting stronger and stronger. Just when Sol was considering whether to let Simba ride it to find food, the Yeying team members who explored the road came back.

"We have found our way, Lord Lord, and there is a resting convoy down the mountain." When they reported, they couldn't hide their excitement.

"Transportation team? Is it Lulin's?" Chip asked quickly.

The Yeying team members nodded: "Yes, they are playing under the banner of Lu Lin. Judging from the things on the carriage, there should be a lot of food."

As soon as they heard the word food, everyone's spirits lifted.Not caring about finding out how he ran into Lu Lin's transport team here, Sol chuckled: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go and have a look."

Half an hour later, dozens of heads emerged cautiously from the grass at the top of the hillside.There is a straight road under the hillside. At the moment, beside the road, a transport team composed of more than ten carriages is resting.

From the flag on the carriage, it can be seen that this is an axle-loaded force belonging to the Lulin army, and there are very few escorts. Except for the driver of the carriage, there are only 30 soldiers serving as guards, and all of them are light infantry on the second line.

They may never have thought of being in danger, and their vigilance is very low.They sat lazily around the carriage, letting the uncaged horses graze in all directions, some even threw their weapons on the carriage, and their chatter and laughter could be heard on the hillside
Looking at the packages on the carriage that obviously contained food, the eyes of the people on the hillside almost burst into flames.What to do at this time, there is no need to hesitate anymore.

"Brother-in-law, how about it, why don't you vote for his mother?" Lesta said enthusiastically.

Knowing that he was still obsessed with those worthless transactions in the past, Sol looked down and asked Chip, "How is the situation nearby?"

"I have sent people to check, and there is no enemy army within ten kilometers before and after." Chip said.

"Okay!" Saul felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, as if he had returned to the happy days of going to the death gang and being a robber.

Facing the longing eyes cast from all around, he slowly squeezed his fist: "Remember to save a few lives, let's go!"

"Oh!" Immediately amid a burst of excited shouts, dozens of guards brandished swords and rushed down the hillside.

In the eyes of those Lu Lin soldiers, they only saw dozens of strong men suddenly appearing from the hillside, rushing towards their side in a chaotic manner.These people were in ragged clothes and had no flags to identify their identities. A bearded man rushed to the front, brandishing a terrifying half-meter-diameter battle ax and making an ugly howl.

So without any difficulty, the leading Lulin officer judged it to be a bandit attack.As soon as he gave an order, the well-trained soldiers immediately drew their weapons and put on a defensive posture.

Soon, however, these people discovered something was wrong.The quality of this group of robbers in front of them was a bit too high. Apart from those who rushed down, there were more than 10 people who stayed at the top of the hillside, condescending and shooting them suppressively.The arrows of these robbers were accurate and ruthless, but in a short while, nearly 10 Lulin soldiers were shot and fell down.

"Quick, hide behind the carriage!" The officer had no choice but to order.

Just then, the robbers rushed forward.At that moment, the strong man screamed wildly, rushed forward a few steps and swung an axe, and slashed at the officer. The officer raised his sword in haste to meet him, but with a loud noise, he was cut in half with the sword.

"How is it possible..." Looking at the half of his body left in place, this thought flashed through the officer's mind before he died.

Although the Lulin soldiers escorted were not weak in combat effectiveness, they were all infantry in the second-line army, and they were no match for the hungry guards at all.In addition to the fact that the officer was dead, after a brief but intense fight, all the others except the coachmen were wiped out.

In this way, the first battle with Lulin's army after leaving the territory ended in a complete victory for the Lovell garrison without any casualties.Although this was a surprise attack, and the opponent was only Lulin's axis-weighted troops, it also showed the strong fighting power of these young men.

A moment later, after ordering some people to dispose of the corpse, Sol began to interrogate his captive.

"You are... Guji Guji... how do you know the army? Gulu... are you going to... Kazi... where? This is... Xixihuhu... where is it?"

Several captured coachmen stared in amazement at the guy in front of him who was gnawing bread and asking vague questions.In fact, it wasn't just him, everyone around, including the guards with swords around their necks, was also grabbing food with the other hand and gnawing wildly.

They couldn't figure it out, how could the regular army of the mighty Lulin Empire be defeated by these hungry people?
"Ahem..." Seeing the embarrassing appearance of a hungry ghost, Chip couldn't help coughing dryly.

Only then did he realize that Sol stretched his neck and swallowed the bread in his mouth, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve without any image, and said: "Which army are you from? Where are these things going to be sent? And here is Where?"

The coachmen looked at each other, and one of them boldly said: "We belong to the transport brigade of the Second Imperial Corps, and these materials are to be sent to the front line of Overland. As for this place, it should be located in Dinarbalin and Fury. Southern road between Sri Lanka."

"What!?" Sol was startled, and the bread in his hand fell to the ground involuntarily.

He couldn't help but grabbed the driver's collar: "Is what you said true?"

The driver said in fear: "It's true. We are the ones who loaded the goods in Bahrain. We are going to send them to Lamo and then to the front line in Overland. I have walked this road several times. There will be no wrong."

Saul was discouraged for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Kress and the others, and they also looked dull.

Now we are between Bahrainland and Ferrisland?Really, damn it, this is an enemy-occupied area. To be clear, it is in the rear of Lulin's army!
"Damn it, after escaping that night, how did you get here by accident? I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes!" Sol felt bitter and wanted to beat his chest and feet.

"My lord, we are just civilians who were conscripted to work as coachmen for the transport team. We have never killed the Dinar people. Please let us go." Seeing that Sol's face became more and more ugly, the coachman thought he was a murderer. Thoughts, he couldn't help pleading with horror on his face.

Thor knew that the convoy was under attack, and sooner or later the enemy would realize that it was pointless to silence these people, and besides, they were only unarmed civilians, victims of war.

He waved his hand: "Don't worry, I didn't intend to kill you, you can leave."

Those coachmen were very grateful, and they turned around and ran away in a hurry.After they left, Sol turned his head and asked the person who inspected the carriage: "What's on the carriage?"

A guard replied: "Most of the car is medicine and food, and there are some weapons."

Sol didn't intend to taste the taste of hunger anymore, he said without hesitation: "Pack all the food that can be taken away, and get some medicines. By the way, the weapons are consumed, so hurry up and replenish them."

Hearing this, the defenders immediately took out their pockets and loaded them with food. Others also began to choose their own weapons and replenish their arrows. They were very busy.

Kress said at this time: "My lord, I am afraid that our current position is very bad."

Saul knew without him saying, he couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Kress said without hesitation: "Of course we will run away immediately. This is the rear of the enemy army, and there are enemies everywhere. If we are discovered, we will die."

Before he finished speaking, Chip shook his head and said: "No, we got lost in the mountains a few days ago and came here by accident. Let alone whether we can find the way back, if we go back, I'm afraid we won't No matter how lucky you are, you haven't encountered a single enemy."

Due to the defeat of the Ruhr-led coalition forces, the road leading to the north of Dinar has been completely occupied by the Lulin army, and everyone's escape route has been completely blocked, and going back is only seeking their own death.

However, their current position is also not good. If what the coachman said just now is correct, they happen to be located on the important supply line of Lu Lin's army in the south.There is no way to go north from here. To the west is the Bahrain Territory, and to the east is the Frisian Territory. It can be said that they are trapped in the enemy's battle.

Thinking of this, Sol felt a headache. Did I make a mistake? I don’t usually do anything wrong. How could I end up in this way?Now there is no way to go to heaven, no way to go to earth, it will kill people.

"Anyone have a good idea?" he asked weakly.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all speechless for a moment.

After a while, Kip finally said: "The only way now is to find a place to hide first, and then slowly think about the way back."

But that being said, everyone knew that this team of more than 80 people was not too big, but it was not too small. In this unfamiliar place, there was no place to go.

While he was in distress, Sol suddenly noticed that Lesta hadn't answered, but was thinking about something with his head down.He couldn't help asking: "Brother Lesta, what's wrong?"

Waking up with a bang, Lesta rubbed his chin and said, "I just remembered Ferris, no wonder this neighborhood looks so familiar. When the boss led us to set up the death group, it was in Ferris. Reese led the army, and it was only after the boss died that we ran to Masdy, and then met you, brother-in-law."

Sol was not in the mood to listen to his nostalgia, he was about to speak when a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind.

Grasping Lesta's hand, Sol said eagerly: "Brother, you said that the Death Mission was originally established in Ferris Territory?"

"Yes." Lesta nodded.

"Is the original camp still there?" Sol asked again.

Lesta scratched his head: "I think about it, it should still be there. I left because the boss died and wanted to change to another place, but no one found it there."

"Then can you still find it?" Thor felt his voice trembling.

Looking around, Lesta said, "Well... a dozen kilometers to the east from here should be Mount Horris. From there, you can reach the mountain in a day's journey."

"Great." Saul heaved a long sigh of relief: "Finally there is a place to go."

After speaking, he briefly explained to everyone, and Kress and others were also very excited.The camps of bandit groups are usually built in hidden places in the mountains. If they hide there, they will not be discovered in a short time.

"Move faster, brothers hurry up before the police arrives." Sol turned his head and shouted.

Knowing that escape is hopeful, he is now full of pride, unknowingly using bandit jargon again.

Everyone was shocked: Sir, we are not really going to be bandits...

Only Lesta smiled with a twisted beard, feeling that her brother-in-law would have a better future as a robber.

"My lord, I have brought all the necessary things, what should I do with the rest?" A moment later, a guard came to ask for instructions.

Because there were too many goods in this batch, although the defenders took half a month's supply, it was only a drop in the bucket.Seeing the mountain of supplies at the scene, he said without hesitation: "Burn!"

Anyway, I can't take it away, and of course it is impossible to leave it to the enemy. Although this kind of food waste is in danger of being punished by God, considering that this is an extraordinary period, it is better to leave the loss to the other party.

His orders were faithfully carried out, and soon when a large amount of supplies caught fire, the group of people had gone into the mountains and disappeared...
