Chapter 181 (2/2)
Athena pondered for a moment, and then said, ”it seems that when this army arrives at panda collar, I'm afraid it will give Sean a great surprise.”
”You say, are we going to buy a group of northern barbarian slaves to train?” Elizabeth smiled. ”These guys look very easy to raise, and they have high combat effectiveness. I'm afraid Sir Connery will surprise many people You said, ”shall I take people to the border to guard against any accidents?”
”No need.” Athena shook her head. ”Viscount Dorch is a very timid person. All the private soldiers in his whole territory gathered together and didn't know whether there were 3000 people. They wanted to block Alfred's powerful army, ah... ”At the end, Athena sneered:” unless the Lords of the territories behind Viscount Dorch saw something and sent troops to reinforce them together, Otherwise, it will never be able to stop the wolves. ”
”I always think... Those guys in the kingdom of dabion may allow the wolves to return easily.”
……
The cold wind howled.
Alfred made a routine tour of the camp.
In fact, the camp is just a gathering point. There are no tents and other materials in the whole camp. Everyone sleeps on the ground wrapped in a blanket. In order to avoid attracting attention, the camp has not even lit a campfire. Although we have found a leeward place as far as possible, the howling cold wind still makes many people feel a little cold, so most soldiers squeeze together to keep warm.
During the routine inspection, many sleepless soldiers would say hello to Alfred when they saw him. Alfred responded one by one without any airs. He didn't seem to think it would waste any time. Every time he saw the wounded soldiers suffering from the pain, the heroic middle-aged man would stop, and then help to check each other's injury and change the dressing.
In the past two months, we have traveled thousands of kilometers and fought seven wars.
In every war, Alfred always rushed to the front line. No matter what kind of arms the enemy was or what kind of strong enemy he had, Alfred never retreated. He will always be the first person to pierce the enemy's troops, and he will always be the one who runs to the most critical place on the battlefield. Because the troops have family members, they are actually very passive in the outbreak of every war. If Alfred didn't rush back and forth in the enemy's formation with a halberd, many times they wouldn't be able to open the situation at all.
In just two months, Alfred had 21 new wounds, many of which were just healed and burst open because of the fierce fighting. Although the number of this army has dropped sharply from more than 9000 at the beginning to only 6000 now, and there are only 11 veterans who came out with Sean from tinders, Alfred has really won the respect of this army.
The northern barbarians call him the chief minister, which is second only to Youchang and the priest. Only those who are strong and convinced by the northern barbarians will be so called. The white wing mercenary regiment calls it the head. As mercenaries, they don't know anything. They know that their new master will become a lord, and their identity will rise to a formal army. However, they still like the previous mercenary regiment, calling Alfred the head rather than the general.
All these are not empty promises, but seven times of life and death wandering.
After touring the camp, Alfred returned to the rear of the ”camp”.
This position is best protected. It's hard for the cold wind to blow here. Even if there is, it won't be too penetrating. Little Shina sleeps here. The whole army also loved the cheerful girl very much, not only because she was Alfred's daughter, but also because even on the battlefield, the little girl never cried and made noise, nor did she bring any trouble to the army.
On two occasions, the outer defense line was broken through. The enemy rushed into the array and slaughtered the old and young northern barbarians with a knife. Once, he almost killed the little girl. But I don't know what happened later. When a veteran came to the rescue, she finally saw Shina standing on the spot with a long sword in her hands and a magic look on her face. In front of her was an old man of northern barbarians and three private soldiers who didn't know which noble they belonged to.
After this, Alfred blamed himself, but little Sina turned back to comfort Alfred and even said that she would be a soldier in the future. In the next three battles since then, Alfred never let any enemy break through the line of defense, and more obviously, Alfred's combat style has obviously become more fierce, with a sense of never looking back.
”Another month.” Alfred's voice was low. ”We'll meet Sean in a month.”
But just then, a sharp breaking sound suddenly sounded.
A wave of arrow rain poured down from nowhere. Then you can even feel the vibration of the earth. It is obvious that there are cavalry troops charging!
”Enemy attack!”
The terrible roar rang through the cold night in an instant（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
