Chapter 573 Barbarian Warrior

Although the army of Frost Rose is large in number, due to the reasons of supplies, preparations and roads, not all of them are on the front line, but they are advancing in batches and directions.

Among them, the main force of the striker was naturally on the New Verga side. The 200,000-strong army, together with the Golem Legion, led by Jenkins, an experienced veteran, passed through the jungle-covered Huangnan County and advanced to Hoplander.

Another group of 50,000 people accompanied the ship to the north, and again up the Heisong River. The fighting force in this unit is mostly infantry adapted to mountain combat, and the golem is also a small and flexible type.

The last one is mainly a newly built ironclad ship, with a few airships in the sea fleet. Among them, there are more than 30,000 navies, a total of more than 60 ironclad ships and more than 20 airships. There are many high-level mages (Sequences 5-6) on it, and elites gather to intercept possible reinforcements from the Southern Islands.

Compared to the weak New Velgar, Frost Rose is actually more worried about the Young Moon Council in the Southern Islands. The origin of the two mages came from the same vein, and they knew each other's strength very well, and naturally they did not dare to underestimate them.

Huangnan County, former military camp.

The area close to the jungle was cleared of a black and gray strip, and then the soldiers cut down trees to make simple wooden fences to surround the camp. As night fell, hundreds of large and small bonfires were also raised in the camp. Soldiers ate around the bonfire and sat down to rest to relieve the fatigue of the day.

It is early autumn now, and the weather is no longer so hot. Most of these soldiers are also wearing black and cyan uniforms with a layer of steel armor on the outside.

After a long journey, because of exhaustion and fatigue, many people also took off their armor and put it aside, blowing the evening wind, and enjoying the rare relaxation.

As the night gradually deepened, sleepy snores began to be heard from tents large and small, and the camp became quiet.

In the large tent in the center, Jenkins was still looking at the map under the lights, which marked the terrain around Hopeland, and there were some chess pieces next to it.

The dim candlelight drew the shadows of cups, pens, paper rolls, and other sundries on the low table, and occasionally swayed with the lights.

The curtain of the tent was suddenly pulled open, letting in the cool air outside, and a female knight who took off his helmet walked in.

Jenkins raised his head and glanced at it, then continued to focus on the map in front of him, occasionally calculating and drawing with his pen on the paper.

"Have you not slept yet, Ada, you'll be on your way tomorrow. It's not like at home now. In wartime, military law is the most important thing, and I can't favor you."

"Well, I'll go to bed later, I'll see you later."

"What's there to see? Are you afraid of an accident with my old man? There are not only guards, but also the vigilance barrier set up by the group of mages. When others approach, you can know from here."

The 20-year-old female knight shook her head and said nothing, but found a cushion and sat at the low table.

"This is my first expedition, and it's still a little fresh and a little apprehensive." She looked at the map and said.

"What are you worried about, my daughter, you are not usually such a sentimental person." Jenkins put down his pen, and he was tired at this moment, and stopped thinking.

"I don't know if I can make a move in the face of the enemy. The people on the opposite side are actually the same as me. They were raised by my parents. We don't have any deep hatred for each other." Ada's head rested on the old father's knee. superior.

"Hey, it's a good thing that you have such a kind heart, and it is estimated that you have inherited your mother's character." Jenkins stroked his daughter's crimson hair.

"But it's not okay to be too obsessed with these things."

"Don't put yourself too high. It's impossible for us to conform to everyone's wishes and satisfy everyone. That's impossible."

"So, for our own interests, sometimes we have to destroy the interests or lives of others."

"Like a wolf eating a sheep, there is neither good nor evil, it's just a part of life."

"Sympathy can be shown in one's own person, and that would be a virtue. But if it is kind to the enemy, it is a kind of stupidity." Jenkins told his daughter in detail.

"I understand these truths, but I still can't quite do it..."

Ada closed her eyes, and her beautiful face reflected a faint light in the light. The young knight looked very beautiful when he took off his helmet.

"Then let's get used to it slowly. There is always a first time for many things."

Jenkins sighed. He has been in the army for many years, and he has seen veterans who have not died on the battlefield, but have no peace after being discharged from the army. Not everyone is so cold-blooded, and some hate fighting. However, the nature of this world will not change because of this unbearable heart.

No matter how kind-hearted people are, when faced with the blade of the enemy and the threat of death, they will still take up arms to fight, because he understands that if he does not kill the opponent, the opponent will take his own life.

That's all.

Many ordinary soldiers go to the battlefield without thinking too much about the honor of their home and country, and more maybe just life. They want money to support their families and they want to change their situation.

But once on the battlefield, there is no room for retreat. Unlike the peaceful order on weekdays, the killings in war will not be cared about. In the past few months, it took only a few months to see a death row inmate being executed, and there were many on the battlefield, so it gradually became numb.

Jenkins reflects on his military career over the years, and sometimes reflects on whether he is just as a soldier. But the final results and facts told him that his meaning as a soldier was not just, but more about loyalty, and this was his answer.

And just as the father and daughter were sitting by the candlelight and talking for a long time, there was a sudden rush of whistles outside, and then there was a continuous noise and shouting outside the camp, and the sound of footsteps running and the collision of armor also came over. .

Jenkins stood up abruptly, picked up the sword beside him and prepared to go out to take a look, but Ada rushed out of the tent at a faster speed. This female knight is a rare genius in the army. Among the younger generation, even more than her Father is well known.

"Enemy attack!" Sharp shouts sounded everywhere, and many people ran towards the accident place with torches and weapons

"To the south!" shouted a soldier standing on the lookout.

"A lot of people, are they barbarians?"

As the soldiers who were called up approached, they could see the faces of those who were fighting against their own side.

Under the bright yellow firelight, this group of enemies were holding shields, wielding long axes, and their faces were painted with white and red paint, which looked quite hideous.

They screamed and rushed into the crowd, slashing recklessly, a red mark flashed on the long axe, and they swung down at the weak joints of the enemy, bringing with them a patch of blood and stumps.

These warriors with paint on their faces only have a little armor on the key chest and shoulders, and the other parts are wrapped in a single coat. Although the defense is low, it also allows them to quickly rush into the enemy camp, causing riots everywhere, and slashing and killing soldiers who have not yet reacted.

However, the guards from the Frost and Frost United side also rushed over. After a short period of confusion, they formed a formation, and the sickle hook and long spear were unified to the outside world, piercing these wild warriors who were trying to get close.

When Ada arrived with a team of bodyguards in full armor and teal cloaks, the battle was under control.

She also put the sword by her side for the time being and asked the officer beside her.

"Can you see where they came from?"

"Go back to Knight Commander Ada, these people may be barbarian warriors from the north, but they were hired by the New Vergar Alliance. Since the barbarians were conquered by the west wind a few decades ago, their tribesmen have been living in various places. This is estimated to be Raised by a big business association as a guard and a dead man."

"How are they fighting?"

"Although there is no armor, and the individual combat strength is also good, it is a pity that they have no discipline. After facing the assembled army, they have no advantage."

As the officer said, a group of soldiers had surrounded the night raiding team of about 800 people and killed them in an orderly manner.

"Kill!" Many soldiers suppressed their unease, and together with their teammates, they stabbed long spears in their palms and stabbed the enemies to the ground.

Most of them are recruits. Although they have received complete training, it is also the first time to kill someone. Fortunately, there are many companions and comrades around, and they gradually settle down.

With this strange night attack, nearly 100,000 people in the entire camp woke up. Later, scouts were sent to investigate the surrounding area. After confirming that it was safe, everyone slowly fell asleep, but the day was approaching.
