Lord Chronicle

Chapter 185 Meeting Again
"Haven't contacted Darth and the others yet?" In Sol's dedicated tent, he looked up at Chip in surprise, his cheeks bulging.

Chip sitting opposite him nodded: "Yes, they haven't heard anything yet."

"That's strange. General Pintat has already launched a general attack on the Lulin people. Why hasn't Das come over to join us?" Sol couldn't help but wondered.

Although Sol didn't want to take care of things, after all, he was in the battle situation, and he could learn a lot of news every day.Interestingly, Pintat had specifically ordered that Saul should not conceal any information he wanted to know.

So the lord ate and waited to die, and Chip, as a subordinate, did his duty. He went to get the latest battle report every day, and then reported to Sol.

In the past few days, the whereabouts of Darth and the others has become a mystery.After the fight started, Pintat sent out many scouts to try to contact them, but Darth and his cavalry seemed to have disappeared from the air, and no more news came.

Although a cavalry force of 2000 men had little effect on the current battle situation, Das was the dignified third prince of Dinar, and if something happened, it would be serious, and Pintat naturally did not dare to be careless.

As for Sol, he wasn't too worried.Don't forget that Kress is also in the team. Even if they are really wiped out, it will not be difficult to protect Darth with his inhuman combat power.

"How's the fight ahead?" Saul asked casually, no longer thinking about it.

Chip replied, "Pintat has removed all outlying strongholds, and will launch a general attack on the fort soon."

At this time, Vihir, who had been buried in his meal, raised his head: "Master Saul, I have been here for so many days, and I haven't seen that fortress yet, can you take me to see it?"

During this period of time, Vihir was eager to go to battle, but it was a pity that Sol was lazy, so she lost any status to participate in the war, and could only be a diner with Sol, living a rather depressed life.

Hearing what she said, Sol thought about it, and nodded for the first time: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Speaking of which, ever since he and Gein seized Diviji Castle, he has had an indissoluble bond with this fortress, but unfortunately, he has always heard about it and never actually seen it.

Now that it's all over the edge, it's really unreasonable not to take a look.Otherwise, when Pintat takes it down, I'm afraid I can only see a pile of ruins.

Hearing what he said, Vihir cheered happily: "It's great, I can finally watch the war."

Sol felt dizzy for a while, you are really a violent group.

So after the meal, Sol brought the joyous Vihir to the front line for the first time.

No one stopped him. On the contrary, after listening to his explanation, an officer took the initiative to take them to the place with the best view to watch the fortress.

It turned out that in order to expand the psychological advantage over Lu Lin, Pintat had sent people to spread the news of the destruction of the Black Armored Cavalry.Naturally, even Sol's heroic deeds spread.

Now, the whole army worships the legendary noble du Thor. If Pintat hadn't ordered anyone to harass Sol, there would probably be 1000 or 800 people queuing up for his autograph every day.

Saul could only smile wryly at this, unlike when he first came to this world and was anxious to be famous, now that he is tired of his fame, he wants to keep a low profile more and more.

Don't think that Saul is joking, haven't you seen that since he became famous, even his former good brother has started to act as a human trafficker?The experience of being abducted this time really left a lot of psychological shadow on Saul.

After dismissing the officers, Sol began to look at this famous fort seriously for the first time.

Perhaps it was due to the clear purpose of the building. This fortress has never been named, and even the Dinar military only called it Lulin Fortress.

Unlike Broken Sword Gorge Fortress, which is backed by the Katyn Mountains, it is very huge because it is built on a plain. Together with its nearby peripheral facilities, it looks like a small city from a distance, which shows that the Lulin Army is fighting against it. It paid a lot of money.

At this moment, looking from Sol's point of view, on a certain section of the tall outer wall of the fortress, countless Dinar troops climbed densely on the wall like ants, trying to break into the fortress with various tools.

On the wall of the fortress, the Lulin army with distinctive military uniforms lined up to block the attack of the Dinar people.

On both sides of this section of the city wall, the Dinar army responsible for protecting the flanks was fighting the enemies Lu Lin had placed on the outskirts of the fortress to prevent them from hindering the siege troops.

With the fortress as the center, from the inside to the outside and a large nearby vast battlefield, countless people's heads surged, the drums of war were like thunder, the smoke of beacon rose into the sky, and the fierce shouts of killing went straight to the sky.

Vihir at the side was stunned, if she followed Das out and only saw ordinary troops fighting.The attack and defense of the fortress presented in front of her at this moment was a magnificent scene that she could never have imagined.

The barbarians have always been sparsely populated, and the largest tribe has only tens of thousands of people. Vihir's Cedar tribe has only a mere few hundred people. The people she has met since she was a child are not as many as she sees.

What's more, this is a confrontation between the two armies, a battlefield with real swords and guns!

Just by watching from the sidelines, one can feel the blood-boiling atmosphere.If Kress, a militant, was there, he probably couldn't help but rush down.

So Thor could understand her reaction, if it were him when he first came to this world, he would not be much better than Vihir.As for now?Hmph, I can be considered a man who has seen the world.

According to intelligence, due to the obstruction of the Diviji Castle, the Lulin Army still failed to complete the construction of the fortress in time, so that a section of the outer wall of the fortress had quite a few defects.

It was precisely because of this that Pintat dared to attack directly. Otherwise, with such a large fortress and the defenders inside, the Dinars would really be unable to chew on it.

Suddenly, he noticed that Chip had been standing silently behind him, and then he remembered that Chip was from Lulin.

Although he betrayed his motherland, seeing the Dinar people attacking his compatriots, he must feel uncomfortable at this moment, right?

Thinking of this, Sol turned his head and said, "Chip, it doesn't matter if you want to leave, nothing will happen to me here."

Chip was startled, and then understood Thor's intention.A trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head calmly: "No, I'm right behind you."

Knowing that if the consolation is too obvious, it will hurt Chip, Sol nodded and gave up.

Alas, every time I come out, I just want to take him to protect safety, but never think about his feelings.It was hard for Kip to follow my careless lord.

After watching it for a while, Saul lost interest.After all, although the scene in front of him was grand, he had experienced it in Diviji Castle back then, and he was already somewhat used to it.

He said to Vihir, "Let's go back, it seems that the fortress will not be captured for a while."

Vihir was a little bit reluctant, and she begged: "Master Saul, can you let me take a look again? No wonder grandpa said, your Dinar is an amazing country, so the war can be so spectacular."

Judging by her appearance, Sol knew that Vihir would not quit until today.Now his mood is as helpless as that of parents who bring their children into the playground.

Under Vihir's pitiful gaze, Sol's heart softened: "That's fine."

At the same time, he has already made up his mind that starting tomorrow, he will ask Pintat for an officer to accompany Verhir to observe, and he will not accompany him.

Therefore, Vihir continued to watch the human war with great interest, while Saul was doing nothing, and almost fell asleep leaning on Kip.

Just when he was in a daze, he suddenly heard an exclamation from Vihir at the side: "Look!"

"Huh?" Sol woke up suddenly, did he break the city so quickly?
"Lord Saul, look." Vihir pointed to the distance.

Sol stood up and looked in the direction of her finger, only to see a large group of people rushing here from the far left.

Because they were too far away, they couldn't see the identity of the other party clearly, but judging from the speed at which they were advancing, it was undoubtedly a cavalry unit.

What's going on, is it the reinforcements from the Lulin people?
The unexpected arrival of this force quickly attracted the attention of both warring parties.Whether it was Dinar on the offensive side or the Lulin army defending outside the fortress, all troops responded.

As the opponent got closer, Chip behind Sol suddenly said, "It's Kress."

"What?" Thor turned his head in surprise: "You said, Darth and the others are back?"

Chip's deep eyes kept looking into the distance: "That's right, the ones in front are Kress and Darth."

From Sol's eyes, the other party is still just a blur. God knows where Chip has such good eyesight.But since he said so, he must be right.

Not long after, the team of cavalry approached, and the Dinard uniforms on their bodies were clearly visible.Obviously Chip was not lying, they were Darth and others who had been missing for several days.

Rushing forward, Das and the others did not slow down, but directly entered the battlefield.Then, all the cavalry suddenly shouted in unison: "The Ke** stronghold has been breached! The Ke** stronghold has been breached!"

Hearing their shouts, the Lulin people obviously panicked. The Lulin army who tried to stop them was quickly broken up, and the cavalry went directly to the fortress.

It seems that they came here specially to pass on the information. Das and the others galloped around the fortress, still shouting: "The Ke** stronghold has been breached..."

"What is that stronghold?" Thor couldn't help asking.

Chip shook his head: "There is no such place in our information."

However, that stronghold seemed to be very important to the Lulin people. As Das and the others shouted over and over again, the momentum of the Lulin defenders dropped sharply.The troops outside the castle became even more chaotic.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, Pintat naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.Under his command, the Dinard army immediately pressed the whole army.

The defensive strongholds outside the Lulin Fortress began to be removed one by one. Although the Lulin Army tried their best to resist, they could not recover their defeat.

Not long after, the Lu Lin army who were still outside had to abandon all fortifications and flee into the fortress.

The Dinar Army took the opportunity to clear all the nearby fortifications and completely cleared the road to attack the fortress.

Now the entire fortress has become an isolated city, and I believe it is only a matter of time before it is breached.

The biggest question now is, what exactly is the "Suppression Stronghold" that directly led to the defeat of the Lulin Army?
After clearing the perimeter of the fortress, Pintat did not continue to attack, but began to gather troops, occupy the fortifications, and put on a siege posture.

At this moment, Sol also saw that Darth's cavalry was galloping in this direction.

"Let's go, it's time to ask that kid what he has done these days." Saul said.

******************************************************************************
In a wide open space in the Dinard army camp, the cavalry that came back suddenly were dismounting one after another.Around them, soldiers without mission gathered together, looking at this legendary unit with both curiosity and reverence.

Das and the others were full of travel and dust, and their military uniforms and horses were covered with dust. It could be seen that they had been running around a lot these days.However, the downsizing of the team is not serious, and obviously it has not suffered a big loss.

At this point, as the crowd parted, Pintat came to meet him himself, accompanied by two officers.

Seeing Pintat, Das, who was patting the dust in his blond hair, shouted, "Attention!"

All the cavalry immediately stood in awe.

Das saluted Pintat with a standard military salute: "Kavi leads the temporary commander of the reinforcements, Das reports to you that we have completed the task of containing the enemy, and now request to return to the team!"

Pintat looked at the prince with relief, and then returned the military salute: "You have done a good job. Now disband immediately, rest on the spot, and report to me in three days."

"Understood!" Das nodded, then turned around and shouted: "Everyone disband!"

The standing cavalry immediately relaxed, and the soldiers in charge of logistics immediately went up to them, enthusiastically led their horses, and took them to the barracks to rest.

Pintat stopped Das: "I haven't heard from you at all these days. What are you doing?"

Just as Das was about to answer, he suddenly heard a loud voice: "My boy, I thought you were kidnapped too, are you finally willing to come back?"

As the crowd parted, Sol strode over.

Seeing him, Das laughed, and he punched him: "Nonsense, do you think I'm as useless as you?"

Avoiding his fist, Thor said to Kress behind Das: "Kress, are you okay?"

Kress said carelessly: "Of course, these days are really enjoyable."

Seeing that he was still not satisfied, Sol rolled his eyes and knew that his concern was probably in vain.

When Kress saw Chip quietly following Sol, the two looked at each other, and then nodded in tacit understanding.

At this time, Das also entangled Vihir: "Miss Vihir, I haven't seen you for so many days, do you miss me?"

Originally because of Darth's bravery, Vihir's perception of him has changed a lot.Seeing this guy solid and cute again at this moment made her blush.

The gang of young people was playing around him, and Pintat didn't care.He laughed and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk in the tent."

"Yes, I just want to ask you, what exactly is that Heke stronghold. The Lulin people seem to have lost their souls when they heard it." Sol immediately echoed.

As soon as he heard him mention this, Das immediately said triumphantly: "Hey, speaking of this, it's a long story... oops."

But someone slapped him on the head, and Das turned around in astonishment, only to find that it was Pintat.

Thinking that he had said something wrong, he panicked and said, "Your Excellency, I just..."

"Come on, I'm still waiting to hear the story." Unexpectedly, Pintat laughed and walked to the tent first.

Apparently, infected by the energy of these young people, even he had a little childlike innocence

Looking at each other, Sol and the others cheered and followed immediately.

******************************************************************************
"...That's how we got to know the place of Ke** stronghold."

In the tent, while stuffing food into his mouth, Das happily recounted their glorious deeds of murder, arson, and chaos in these days.

It's a pity that Sol and the others already knew a lot about these things through the intelligence of the scouts, and they didn't have the surprised and amazed performance that Darth expected.

Fortunately, after he had been rambling for a while, he finally got to the point.

"You're saying that the Kriya stronghold is a material storage place secretly established by the Lulin people?" Pintat asked in surprise.

Das nodded: "Yes, I probably learned the lesson from Diviji Castle. This stronghold is very hidden, and there are a lot of food, weapons, medicines and other materials stored in it."

"Why did they build this stronghold?" Sol asked strangely.

Das rubbed his unshaven chin: "That stronghold is not far from this fortress, but its location is ingenious. It happens to be hidden in the middle of a hill. It is difficult for outsiders to enter, but following a natural path between the hills access, but things can be transported out quickly.”

"So, I think this is used by the Lulin people just in case. After all, the fortress is so big and needs a lot of supplies. If you can't get supplies, just keep a front facing the other side outside the fortress. stronghold, supplies can be transported into the fort.”

Kress on the side said: "And that hill is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the fortress is captured, you can still lead troops to garrison it. With those materials, you can hold on for a long time."

After the two said this, Sol and the others suddenly realized.No wonder the people of Lulin fell into chaos when they heard that the stronghold had been captured.Because this is equivalent to cutting off their supplies and retreat.

Now, it is estimated that the Lu Lin army trapped in the fortress is already anxious like ants on a hot pot?
Thinking of Darth saying that there are countless gold, silver and jewels in that stronghold... er no, it is military supplies, Sol's natural nature of money lovers is revealed again.

He stretched his elbow and bumped Darth: "I said, there should be a lot of things in that stronghold, right?"

It's a pity that Das couldn't understand his hint, and he said inexplicably: "I just said, there are a lot of supplies in it, enough for those Lulin people to use for a while."

Then, his next words immediately poured cold water on Sol's head: "But I'm all burned."

"What!?" Sol exclaimed, "So many things, all burned?"

Woohoo, as expected of a prince born with a golden key in his mouth, he really doesn't have any concept of thrift. How can you make us poor people feel so miserable? .

Das looked at him strangely: "Of course, what can we do if we don't burn it? We don't have extra troops to garrison, and we can't transport it out. What if the Lulin people snatch it back?"

Pintat nodded in agreement: "Das did the right thing. Although it's a pity, since we can't get them, we must not let them fall into the hands of the Lulin people."

Of course Sol understands this truth, but he originally wanted to have a collusion between the government and the businessman, and secretly get him a fortune from it, which should be regarded as the mental damage fee for being kidnapped this time.

Now, he can only ask the sky in silence.And he had to say against his will: "Yes, well done, well done, haha..."

At this time, Pintat said to Dass: "Your Highness made a decisive decision this time, and you did a very good job. I originally expected that it would take at least a week to clear the defense network around the fortress. Now it seems that taking the fortress is only a matter of time." Sooner or later."

Das hurriedly said: "You are too generous, here I formally request you, please let me participate in the attack on the fortress later."

Pintat laughed and said, "You defeated the Black Armored Cavalry and burned Lulin's secret stronghold. Your Majesty will be very pleased with the feats you have made this time. Please rest well. When we start to attack the fortress, I will I will definitely not miss you."

At that moment, everyone chatted for a while, and the exhausted Darth and Kress left to rest.Pintat, on the other hand, began to prepare for the attack on Lulin Fortress.
