Chapter 140: General Andelt
There was only one table and chair in the humble room, and there was not a single ornament on either side of the wall, except for eight torches hanging from the iron groove in the wall to illuminate the room. At this time, a fair-skinned young man wearing a white robe and a steel sword at his waist was sitting on a chair and observing the map on the table, which was filled with small red and yellow flags, and in the upper right corner of the map there was a small print written in English - map of the Edinburgh region.
The young man had a delicate face, although he was still a little childish, but a blood-red scar on his right cheek wiped out all this childishness, and by the way, it also made the young man's temperament reveal a trace of solemnity.
"Knock knock........." With a knock on the door, a soldier in light armor rushed in, and said to the young man sitting in the chair with a happy face: "General Andert! Your ploy has worked! Our 15,000-strong Yoman Longbow troops set fire to Mars's main force with pitch and rockets in the Great Forest of Railay, northwest of the city of Railay. ”
"Hmmm! Very well, you can put the battle report here and go down and rest. The young man's eyelids jumped, and he said in a calm tone to the herald in front of him, but his trembling feet, hidden under the table, betrayed the young man's heart, because this was his reaction when he was extremely excited, and from childhood to now, the young man would only do this three times, once when he was awarded the post of general by the king of the empire on which the sun never sets, and once when his father-in-law Thebes agreed with him, And told him that as long as he could complete a brilliant battle, he would agree to marry his most beloved daughter to him, and another time was now, because he knew that at this time he had fulfilled the requirements of Thebes, and only in the next 2 weeks or so to resist the counterattack from the Mars Empire, and when the reinforcements under Sun Linmian came here to coordinate himself to beat the invaders of the Mars Empire back to his old nest, he could justifiably welcome the only one in his mind - Thebes. Miss Lena.
At this time, it goes without saying that this young man was the second Terran general promoted by Sun Lin at the year-end meeting last year, and it was discovered by Sun Lin when he led his troops to rectify the rebel voice in Edinburgh last year. At that time, this Andert was also the leader of a rebel army, but to Sun Lin's surprise, the rebel army led by Andert did not turn into locusts like other rebel armies and looted around Edinburgh, and what surprised Sun Lin even more was that this guy only targeted those convoys of the empire on which the sun never sets, and several attempts to steal weapons and steal grain ended in his successful retreat, There was even a time when the location he attacked was actually less than 1 kilometer away from the cavalry unit led by Sun Lin at that time, and at the end of the day, he actually let this guy escape with hundreds of rangers wearing inlaid armor built by the Sun Never Setting Empire, including this young man.
Such a record had to make Sun Lin pay attention to him, and with the in-depth investigation of the intelligence department, Andert's information also entered Sun Lin's mind and lingered, and finally, after learning that this young man was a potential stock, and now he was already a general who was very good at commanding infantry combat, Sun Lin immediately decided to make this person a sword in the hands of the Sun Never Setting Empire at all costs. (As for how Sun Lin was arrested, some of the inhumane practices designed in it are omitted here for the sake of social harmony)
A Randster down-and-out nobleman who became a general of the Sunset Empire had a little shock in the outside world and the Lanster world under the rule of the Sunset Empire, but it did not have any impact on the rest of the world, the military, the civilian class, etc., are absolutely very common to this, but it's right to think about it, who is called the Baron of Nottingham of the Sunset Empire or a strong orc with goblin blood? Maybe there will be some opposition from all walks of life before, but after this kid Andelt fought a brilliant ambush battle, it is estimated that no one will say that again.
According to the herald's account of the battle, the area ambushed by the Yoman Longbow Force with rockets and asphalt was a black charcoal color from above, and everything in the area, whether it was iron, trees, or corpses, had been carbonized. On the outskirts of the area, the fire that has not yet been extinguished is still moving towards the surrounding vegetation and the corpses scattered in the grass, which also makes it impossible for the Hobila Rangers patrolling the ambush area to judge how many soldiers were in the 100,000 Mars army this time, but from the humanoid objects lying in the carbonized area, these Hobila Rangers determined that the number of Mars killed in this ambush must be more than 4 or 50,000, plus the number of soldiers killed by the Yoman longbowmen during the previous delay, This battle in the Great Forest of Riley has definitely wiped out more than half of the battle of Mars's troops.
And the most important information is that after the judgment of some Hobila Ranger veterans who can be good at tracking, they came to two good news: the first is the Duke of Saldo, who is the leader of the invading army, was hit by 5 arrows in this ambush battle, and finally died due to too much blood loss and ineffective rescue; The second piece of news was that the ambush had lost more than half of Mars's troops, and the commander of Mars's troops, Old General Leffair, had to decide to retreat, and he had to rest his troops and calm the resting troops before he could continue to move forward. It can be said that by this time all the expansion plans set by Mars's forces have been scrapped, and they are now forced by Andrût to concentrate on a few cities outside Edinburgh to obtain compensation, which is exactly what Andrêlt's appetite is.
The war in the territory of Edinburgh also fell into a short time for the soldiers on both sides to recuperate, of course, this time is destined to be very short, because even if the old general Leyphael does not lead the remaining soldiers to attack at this time, as the second batch of troops of the Mars Empire, the 120,000 troops led by the Mars Empire Marshal have also been assembled, and began to set off from the capital of Mars to Edinburgh, and it is expected that it will only take about 1 week to enter the periphery of Edinburgh.
At this time, on another battlefield, General Bobby has not yet made the same record as Andelt, on the contrary, at this time, near several small cities outside Fort Biliga, the battle between the Sun Never Setting Empire and the Mishaal Empire has actually fallen into a stalemate.
