Chapter 763 With Me Around, No One Can Get In
The business princes of Marienburg did have malicious and contemptuous judgments on the expedition to Bafeng Mountain, but there is no doubt that they were not wrong in one point.
The Bafeng Mountain Expeditionary Army has indeed reached the most difficult and weak time.
At the end of October, after three weeks of rest, the Bafengshan Expeditionary Army opened the way to Bafengshan from the ley line network road, after three weeks of rest and reorganization. The green leather defenders who captured the creek outpost quickly captured the outpost, and more than a thousand green leather defenders were wiped out.
The capture of the stream outpost gave Skarsnik a great stimulus. The warlord of the Xieyue clan almost immediately summoned all the troops to prepare for the war. At first, it tried to send troops to recover the stream outpost, but after losing several After a thousand people, the cunning Goblin warlord immediately realized that it might pay a huge price to regain the stream outpost, and the price might be that it could not hold Bafeng Mountain, so it began to completely shrink its troops.
At this time, the Titan Gate of Bafeng Mountain had appeared in front of the expeditionary army.
It was a majestic gate made of boulders. Although it had been damaged many times, the solidity of the Titan's Gate still made it difficult for the expeditionary force. Skarsnik occupied the Titan's Gate. Block the gate of Titan firmly, concentrate superior forces, and prepare to deal with this army coming from afar.
In front of the gate of the Titans, the sixty-meter-high giant stone statues of the two main dwarf gods, Granny and Grimnir, were silently watching everything.
Even though Skarsnik's army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Valaya's Gate, the number of greenskin troops entrenched in Eight Peaks was still close to 100,000, and Skarsnik allocated 50,000 troops for To defend against the Skaven, the remaining 50,000 troops built a position in front of Bafeng Mountain, surrounded the stream outpost, and did not attack, but only monitored every move of the expeditionary army.
In this way, the two sides formed a confrontation before the Eight Peaks Mountain. Both Ryan and Bellegar tried to take the initiative to attack, but there were too many green skins. They were beaten back as soon as they approached the gate of the Titans. Bellegar wanted to try Use the leyline network road to enter Eight Peaks Mountain, but there are Skaven ratmen everywhere in the ground of Eight Peaks Mountain, and how could Skarsnik give Belega a chance for several important passages? In the field, even though Bellegar was proficient in tunnel warfare, he was forced back by the endless green skins.
In this way, the two sides began a confrontation, and continued to test.
The confrontation lasted until early November, when the reinforcements led by François had arrived at Haimen Pass.
At this time, the climate in Bafeng Mountain is getting colder and colder. The altitude here is more than a thousand meters high. The climate at Titan's Gate and Stream Outpost is already icy cold. The others gradually became anxious.
The Old World, the Roof of the World, the Eight Peaks Mountain, the gate of the Titans, and the stream outpost.
This is a medium-sized outpost, built against a mountain peak, like a small city stretching for miles, divided into three floors from low to high. But the expeditionary force repaired part of it and stationed here.
This outpost used to be a testimony to the glorious age of the dwarves, but when Eight Peaks Mountain was attacked, this outpost was one of the first few strongholds to be abandoned. The gate of the former Titan was open, and countless caravans and The dwarf armies constantly came out of it,
And now the Titan's Gate is full of greenskins and skaven.
In the afternoon, Ryan woke up from a nap. He looked at Veronica who was sleeping beside him, kissed Witch Garland gently on the forehead, and then got up.
There was nothing in the humble house, the fire was still burning, and the dark elf Orika was still wearing a standard black and white maid outfit, but she added a thick bearskin cloak on the outside. Seeing Ryan, she got up , Olika immediately got up and changed clothes for Ryan: "Master?"
"It's still snowing outside?" Ryan opened the door slightly, and the oncoming wind and snow made him frown. Afraid of waking Veronica up, he quickly closed the door.
"It has been snowing for a few days, and I heard from King Belega that it will continue to snow on Bafeng Mountain during this period of time, and it will not stop until January next year." Olika gently helped Ryan change into a king's dress, and helped him Put on a robe and a heavy coat: "Master, are you going out?"
"You don't have to follow me, help me take care of Veronica." Ryan waved his hand to signal Olika not to follow him.
"Okay, master." The dark elf rolled his eyes and answered sweetly.
"My king!"
"My king!"
"Your Majesty Ryan!"
The streets built by the dwarves are always very orderly and neat. The expeditionary army is stationed here. Seeing Ryan appearing, everyone pays tribute to him. Ryan nodded in a very easy-going way. He came to the Facing the city wall on the side of the Gate of Titans in Bafeng Mountain.
In the distance, the Mountain of Eight Peaks, so haunted by the dwarves of the Belegar and Angrund clans, was faintly visible.
After opening the treasury of the main temple of Valaya and using the dwarf ancestor forging workshop, the armor and weapons of the expeditionary army have been repaired again. Some of the old guards have already put on the dwarf's precision rune full-body plate armor, and some have even used rune weapons. They killed countless enemies in the battle to conquer the stream outpost, and it is precisely because of these that they put on With the new rune armor and weapons, the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force has been fully strengthened.
But the number is still too small. There are only 19,000 people left in the expeditionary force, and there are at least 90,000 green skins and 70,000 to 80,000 ratmen in Bafeng Mountain. Ryan feels a headache when he thinks of this.
What a daunting task.
Just like this, the king stood directly in the white snow, on the city wall, looking at Bafeng Mountain, looking at a dream within reach, looking at countless powerful enemies and green camps one after another.
Ryan reached out and touched the city wall of the stream outpost. The ancient stone city wall had been abandoned for thousands of years. The King of Knights stroked the snow on the city wall, feeling the cold and the heavy history of the dwarves.
"I have seen this scene many times in my dreams, Brother Ryan." Bellegar appeared behind Ryan, and the King of Eight Peaks slowly walked to the edge of the city wall. He looked from the battlements: "I dreamed , The glorious age of the dwarves is back. I dreamed that just like thousands of years ago, the gate of the Titans on Mount Bafeng opened again. Countless caravans and travelers came in and out loaded with gold and goods. I dreamed that the ancestors Heroic spirits whisper in my ear the glory of the past, and the Angrond clan is once again glorious and great."
"Now, it's the last step." Ryan nodded slightly: "But this step is the most difficult."
"We will win." Bellegar also knew that thousands of words were useless. The King of Eight Peaks looked at the gate of the Titans: "Skarsnik is very cunning, it will not give us a chance to fight in the wild."
"Skarsnik is still cautious, and can't find a chance to lure it out to fight in the field." Ryan grabbed a handful of snow and threw it vigorously: "If you still can't lure it out, then we will do as we expected before, and the supplies are almost here. It's over, we can't wait."
"Your Excellency François's army has arrived at the sea gate, right?" Bellega also said, Bafeng Mountain is like this, easy to defend and difficult to attack, this fortress that was once boasted by dwarves that it would never fall is now a dwarf The more difficult the place to conquer, the more terrible is that the expeditionary army lacks shells and bullets, and can only rely on bows and crossbows.
"Yes, we have arrived at the Arsenal Castle, but the number of people is not large. We can't expect François and his army to be sent directly to the front line." Ryan frowned. It took them a long time to reach Bafeng Mountain from Haimen Pass For several months, even though Francois would have relatively no worries because they cleaned up the green skins, it was impossible for Francois to support here immediately.
Speaking of this, Ryan got very interesting news from the fairy in the lake.
"François's army has arrived, and he has started his performance." Ryan swept the snow, and the snowflakes fell on his hair. According to the information received by Nick, thousands of troops must have arrived at Haimen Pass, and the troops are still arriving.”
"How did you do it, magic?" Bellegar was a little curious. He waved his hammer and asked: "Brother Ryan, the green skins only believe in what they see with their own eyes, especially the cunning Skarsnik. It is impossible to deceive it through this method.”
"We didn't lie to him." Ryan laughed very strangely: "François and Baiernov colluded. After the knight army arrived at Haimen Pass, they first marched into the Fort of the Army with great fanfare. Three thousand knights hung a large number of flags And the coats of arms of various duke families, the coat of arms of the Holy Grail, the momentum is amazing, and Francois even rode a pegasus in the air, and found that any enemy would always attack on the ground, showing his strength."
"After arriving at the Arsenal, the army went out of the city through the secret road built by the dwarves. One day later, the knight army who returned to Haimen Pass immediately left Haimen Pass again in a fair manner, and headed for the Arsenal in a mighty way." Ryan He smiled and said, "That's it. It's been repeated for several days. Guess what news Skarsnik received?"
"Hohohoho~ It must have heard the report from the scouts, saying that there are thousands of canned dried shrimps!" Bellega immediately understood Ryan's meaning, and he laughed loudly: "There is one here, and the number is uncountable!" reinforcements, and they are still arriving at the front line, it must be in a dilemma now! Hesitating how to solve it, I know Skarsnik, even if it is as cunning as it is, it must be in a dilemma now! Fighting on two fronts, Insufficient troops!"
"Obviously our plan has worked. Skarsnik must not know how many reinforcements there are now." Ryan stood on the city wall and said to Bellegar: "The green skins have been harassing the outpost for the past few days." , in fact, Skarsnik is afraid, it is afraid, it is afraid of us fleeing, and it wants to keep us here, so that it can divide its troops to deal with François and his reinforcements."
"Oh, that's why you took the initiative to attack these days?" Bellega heard admiration again and again: "Brother Ryan, I want to say that you are really there, you beat the group of green bastards with heavy casualties! You seized the opportunity. "
"This is just one of them. The main purpose is to prevent Skarsnik from really dividing his troops to deal with Francois and his reinforcements." Ryan smiled and said, "After all, even if Francois has the Fort Armory in his hand, The army only has five or six thousand people."
"Hey, after fighting like this a few times, that bastard Skarsnik and its army must not dare to act rashly!" Bellegar nodded again and again: "Good job, Brother Lane, now we have to think about how to fight decisively."
"The plan is perfect." Ryan nodded, and he looked back worriedly at the black smoke rising from the outpost, which was the pyre and fire for heating: "The premise is that there are no accidents."
"We have to capture Bafeng Mountain within two weeks, and the supplies have already bottomed out." Bellega sighed: "Walaya has prepared everything for us, but there is no food, so we have to conquer Bafeng Mountain , we can get food support from Iron Peak Fort or... Eternal Peak from the ley line network, this is what Valaya told me."
"She should prepare an army for you." Ryan knew that Bellegar was joking, and he also joked: "There should also be a number of long-bearded veterans, iron-shard warriors, and hammer warriors sleeping in the temple to help you recover Eight Peaks Mountain."
"Hahaha~ Brother Ryan, don't make fun of Varaya." Bellega stroked his white beard, and the King of Eight Peaks Mountain said meaningfully: "Also, never underestimate the power of Varaya, her power Not weaker than your lady, who can bestow upon her followers the Holy Grail, and Valaya has something to bestow on me, too."
"Very good." Ryan and Bellega boxed and signaled: "Let me get ready!"
The king walked down the city wall, and he inspected a circle of camps. The side of the stream outpost facing Bafeng Mountain was full of soldiers, and the other exit was the exit leading to Iron Peak Fort, which had been abandoned for many years. Here Theoretically, there would be no enemies, so Ryan arranged Durant and his independent group here to guard, and there was indeed no movement after more than ten days.
After inspecting around, Ryan returned to his house. At this time, Veronica was already up, and the spirit of Witch Garland was a little sluggish. She used a lot of magic power to attack the green leather camp with Ryan in the past few days, and now she is It was snowing, which affected her mana reserves and casting environment. After Ryan opened the door, he quickly closed it to prevent the wind and snow from coming in. He saw Veronica leaning on the bed and drinking coffee, and took her hand and sat beside her : "Get up, don't rest for a while?"
"Enough sleep, I'm getting up." Veronica gave Ryan a coquettish look, and she leaned on Ryan's shoulder: "My great knight, great king, have you thought about how to fight? Or follow the original plan?" Have a plan?"
"Now it depends on whether Skarsnik plans to fight us in the field." Ryan nodded, and he put his arms around Veronica's shoulders: "At that time, we will rely on the strength of you and Olika."
"I'm ready at any time, master." The dark elf stood by, and she smiled sweetly: "Please leave me the magic power, master."
"By the way, Ryan, Durant came here just now and left when he saw that you were not here." Veronica and Ryan kept warm for a few minutes, and then said suddenly: "I think he seems to have something to say, do you want to say something?" Go and have a look?"
"Okay, I'll go now."
Ten minutes later, in the barracks on the east wall of the creek outpost, the camp where the Independence Regiment was stationed.
"My king, we need more medicine and winter clothes." Durant accompanied Ryan to inspect the camp of the Independent Regiment, and the deputy head complained: "Also, the food reserves have also bottomed out. , If things go on like this, we won't be able to survive this winter, Your Majesty, you can't let the soldiers fight hungry, can we get supplies from other places?"
"Do your best, Durant." Ryan inspected the soldiers of the independent regiment who were gathering in the dwarf building for heating and cooking: "The big battle is coming soon."
"Okay." Durant had no choice but to express that he knew.
Following the complex building structure, Ryan walked towards the outside of the building, which is the east wall of the entire stream outpost.
The doors made by the dwarves are not short, they are usually very high, but they are often relatively narrow. Ryan can just pass through by himself. He said to Durant, "Has there been any movement here recently?"
"There is nothing to report, my king." Durant said proudly, and he followed Ryan: "With me and my independent group guarding this place, no one can get in."
Ryan had just passed through the gate, and before he had time to speak, the scene in front of him blocked his words. The King of Knights saw the magnificent army formation in front of him, and nodded calmly: "Yes, what' People' can't get in..."
