Chapter 1552 1538. Battle of the Highlands 8
A sound of horseshoes came from the west side of the hill. The messenger rushed out from a hill in the north of the canyon with two horses. Behind him were several ghost warriors. These ghost warriors obviously couldn't run at full speed. ancient Bolai war horse.
It's just that they didn't give up, and they were still biting behind.
There is a canyon in front of the messenger. If he wants to reach the military camp of the West Route Army, he must bypass this canyon.
The messenger on horseback turned his head to look at the West Route Army camp, then rode his horse along the edge of the canyon and galloped towards the southwest.
Seeing that they could not catch up, the ghost warriors pulled out bone spears from their ribs and threw them towards the messenger.
Black bone spears came through the air, and the courier pressed his body tightly on the horse's back. The sharp bone spears passed by the courier, and a bone spear even flew past his arm. There was a clear cut on the armband.
The courier lowered his head and turned his head to the side for a sneak peek, and found that several evil spirits were thrown a hundred meters away by him, and they patted the neck of the horse proudly.
The two ancient Bolai horses he brought out this time are the best war horses in the reinforcements, and they run fast on the tundra.
Just when he was distracted, an evil ghost suddenly appeared from the hillside.
The soil **** is not high, but it blocks the messenger's sight.
When the ghost warrior rushed over from the slope, the courier had no time to hide when he saw the ghost warrior rushing over. The nearly three-meter-high ghost, weighing about seven or eight hundred pounds, jumped down from the **** , and threw himself on the horse the messenger was riding on.
The courier is very skilled, with a long sword in his hand stabbing the ghost warrior's heart...
The evil spirit did not dodge or dodge, hugging the shoulders with both arms, allowing the sharp rapier to pierce into the arm covered with thick bone armor. The evil spirit's shoulders were covered with sharp thorns. In an instant, he jumped off the horse.
The evil spirit collided with the galloping ancient horse, and the horse fell down while galloping, and rolled with the evil spirit.
The courier was also slammed onto the moss-covered ground. Fortunately, he was wearing thick hard leather armor, and stopped after rolling a few times on the grass.
It was the ghost warrior who threw down the horse, biting the horse's neck fiercely, and the war blade in the other hand pierced into the horse's chest.
The courier struggled to get up from the ground, and his right arm had completely lost feeling.
Whistled, another Gubolai warhorse that ran to the front turned around on the grass and ran towards the messenger.
The evil ghost warrior drank the blood of the horse, and when it raised its head, the messenger grabbed the saddle with both hands, jumped on the ancient Bolai horse, and galloped southwest along the cliff of the canyon.
Left the ghost warrior behind, and soon disappeared.
At this time, the ghost warriors who were chasing up from behind also gave up their pursuit. After slowing down, they gathered around the dying horse, cutting and eating the **** horse meat with their war blades.
The messenger rode his horse, not daring to turn his head, and ran south along the canyon.
After a long circle, he came to the gate of the West Route Army camp. His body was covered with mud, water and blood, and he was crumbling on his horse...
After he showed his identity tag, the guard at the gate of the camp did not make things difficult for the messenger and took him directly to the camp.
I planned to take him to the medical team to bandage him, but the messenger insisted on seeing Suldak first, so the guards at the camp gate had to take the messenger to the north wall.
Soon, the messenger was brought to the north wall of the stronghold by the camp guards.
The north city wall is still fighting.
Countless ghost warriors climbed up from below against the rain of arrows.
The city wall was almost crowded with heavy armored infantry soldiers. Through the heavy human wall, one could vaguely see the battle on the top of the city.
He could also vaguely see a knight in costume, leading a group of heavy armored infantry fighters, fighting with the ghost fighters climbing up from under the wall.
Behind him appeared the phantom of an archangel, which was extremely eye-catching on the city wall.
…
Suldak put the Kuerwen sword in his hand into the scabbard, and put away the golden shield in his hand. His body was stained with sticky purple blood, and his body was full of a stench.
I don’t know how many evil spirits died in his hands, and the evil spirits under the city wall are still coming up.
In the past two days, the number of times the evil ghost general has ascended to the top of the city has gradually decreased.
It is for this reason that Suldak will walk down the city wall at this time.
He took a warm towel from an adjutant beside him, took off his hat and handed it to the adjutant beside him, then covered his face with the warm towel, and after applying it for a while, he wiped it carefully. A young and determined face.
"You want to see me?" Suldak put down the towel, put the helmet on his head again, and asked the messenger sent by the reinforcements.
The courier looked very embarrassed, covered in dust and blood, and seemed to know that he had suffered a lot along the way.
The messenger stood in front of Suldak and saluted Suldak as a standard noble knight.
"Lord Earl Suldak, I have brought greetings from Marquis Valentin Heller."
Suldak glanced at him indifferently, the heavy armored infantry under the city wall made way for Suldak, and Suldak walked all the way towards the command post.
"How is the battle situation on the Marquis Heller's side? The number of evil spirits running out from North Sunderland this time is really quite a lot." A teasing smile appeared on Suldak's face, which was fleeting.
The messenger did not dare to look up, and took out a letter from his arms while talking:
"The situation on the Marquis of Heller's side is not very good. His lord wrote you a letter and ordered me to send it to you."
Suldak reached out and took the letter paper.
"Let me see…"
There was not much written on the parchment. After reading it, Suldak frowned and asked the messenger:
"Oh, you didn't follow my arrangement...going west along the North Sunderland Mountains?"
The messenger replied with some embarrassment: "Yes, Lord Marquis took us through the North Sunderland Mountains and is currently located on the northern tundra."
Suldak walked into the command post, and the messenger could only bite the bullet and follow in.
Signa was sitting in front of the sand table, planting flags on the sand table boredly. When she saw Suldak bring someone in, she was shocked.
Recently, Suldak has been guarding the city during the day, and almost never comes back at this time, otherwise Signa would not use his sand table as a toy.
Suldak put the parchment letter in his hand on the square table, then turned around and looked at the messenger who followed, and said slowly:
"The Marquis of Heller said in the letter that he hoped that I could send an army to help the reinforcements out of the siege...Of course! As the commander of the West Route Army, I am duty-bound to do this, but I think you also saw this on the way here. The current situation, the West Route Army is currently blocked in the southwest of the Villagasi Hills. Although we are confident that we can defeat this army of evil spirits, I hope that Marquis Heller and the reinforcements can hold on for a while. Given the current situation, I am afraid I cannot Pull out the northern tundra."
This set of rhetoric seems to have been heard once not long ago. The messenger squeezed out an embarrassing smile and asked Suldak:
"Please think again, there are not many evil spirits on the northern tundra..."
Suldak thought about what the messenger said, and said directly:
"It's possible that you didn't understand what I said. I think the current situation is more complicated. Our West Route Army's combat power is also very limited. We may not be able to reach the northern tundra as scheduled. I also ask the Marquis of Heller to persevere." After a while, I won't write a reply letter, and you have to pass on what I said verbatim to His Excellency the Marquis Valentin Heller."
The messenger's face turned pale, and he understood it. These words were exactly what the Marquis Valentine Heller had said to the herald sent by the West Route Army half a month ago. Send this sentence back without moving.
He looked at Count Suldak in despair, and replied:
"Yes, Lord Earl Suldak."
Suldak nodded and waved to him, indicating that he could leave.
"Okay, you have also seen the battle situation here, please pass the news to His Excellency the Marquis as soon as possible."
The messenger walked out of the command post of the West Route Army. This is the highest place in the entire barracks. Looking north from here, you can clearly see the ghost warriors rushing out of the Villagasi hills all over the mountains...
There are six rows of heavy-armored infantry soldiers standing on the wall on the north side of the West Route Army camp. Currently, only three rows are participating in the battle. Once a soldier is injured, it will be replaced immediately.
The heavy armored infantry fighters in the back row will quickly fill up, limiting the fighting battlefield to a small area at the top of the city.
The battlefield on the city wall looked dignified and orderly, and the messenger knew that since Suldak had given a reply, this decision would not be changed easily.
The reinforcements want to get out of the predicament this time, and may have to pay a heavier price...
…
At the same time, Andrew's Constructed Knights appeared at the north exit of the canyon in the North Sunderland Mountains.
On the way through the canyon, the Constructed Knights were ambushed by ghost warriors several times, but these ghost warriors seemed to have miscalculated the combat power of the Constructed Knights.
Every time the ambush was like a suicide attack, the evil ghost squad with less than a hundred people dared to attack the knights with more than 4,000 people.
Even the giant ghost-striped soldier ants following behind didn't have time to rush over, and a battle ended in a hurry.
It seems that these evil spirits came here just to feed the giant ghost-striped soldier ants...
Finally out of the canyon.
There are almost no traces of evil spirits in the wilderness.
Andre wanted to take the Constructed Knights to attack the evil ghost army besieging the reinforcements in Handanal City, but he also knew that he could not act recklessly at this time. Looking at the Constructed Knights lined up behind him, he waved his hand...
Under the guidance of the magician of the reconnaissance team, the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army did not rush directly to the location of the reinforcements in Handanal City, but rushed all the way north towards the north exit of Moyunling.
