"Smack."

A report document flew out of Elizabeth's hand and landed unmistakably on a desk.

Asuna looked up, a little puzzled on her face.

"Your pioneer knight is really not an ordinary person." Elizabeth smiled at the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't tell what it meant.

Asuna flipped through the report, which contained only a few records of the locations and results of several battles, and no other data. But when Asuna saw the first battle record recorded on it, her brow furrowed, and she immediately stood up and walked towards the battle room, followed by Elizabeth, as if she had already known Asuna's intentions.

There are two battle rooms in Tonyskeep.

The largest one is in the castle area of the fortress, occupying an area of more than 500 square meters, and there is a huge strategic model map inside, which depicts the Duchy of Lane, the Millennium Covenant Empire, and the Kingdom of Dabion in great detail - Asuna's dream is to one day be able to make all the landforms on the Miracle Continent.

The other combat conference room is in the City Lord's Mansion, but the scale is much smaller.

This room also has a model of the landscape, but it is only a part of the territory of Tonys and the surrounding area of the Anglodara Mountains, and it is naturally impossible to compare the scale with the map of the castle district. It's just that the people who were lucky enough to see that map, except for Asuna, were only five people, and they just had one hand, so most of them would let out a heartfelt amazement when they could see the map located in the battle conference room of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, after entering the war room, Asuna got up and walked to the map, and said, "Richard Cloister......"

With her delicate-skinned right hand, Elizabeth planted a small red flag, no more than a finger long, in a meadow in the northeastern corner of the Anglodar Mountains.

"The Corridor of Ashes ......"

Another small red flag, planted a few centimeters below the right of the first small red flag.

Whenever Asuna called out the name of a place, Elizabeth would place a small red flag in the corresponding position on the map, as after seven times. Asuna finally stopped narrating. Elizabeth threw all the other flags back to the edge of the table.

Where every small red flag is placed, there is a battlefield, and seven small flags are seven wars.

At this moment, on this topography map, a red line can be seen.

The route begins at the northeastern corner of the Angrodara Mountains and on the edge of the Boles Forest, and follows the Angrodar Mountains to the south, passing through the four realms of the Kingdom of Dabion. As long as you cross the last viscounty of the Kingdom of Dabion and the Tonis Territory, then this extended route will officially enter the Tonis Territory.

If it was just a general situation, it would naturally not attract the attention of Asuna and Elizabeth.

However, this force cannot be regarded as the scope of the general situation.

"In two months, seven battles broke out across the four territories of the Kingdom of Dabion." Asuna frowned. "Every war is fought to defeat the enemy, never to pursue the rout, and not to take prisoners, and it is clear that this army is marching in a hurry. …… It looks like our Sir Connelly is in a hurry. ”

"He's only reclaimed two towns so far, and the situation on the other side of Panda is very precarious, and he's heard that an army has entered Panda from the Savage Lands under the banner of the Blood Banner. It was supposed to be reinforcements from Dabroun. Elizabeth spoke. "I estimate that a new war will definitely break out in Panda Town in the next month, but I wonder if the army led by Alfred will arrive in time."

"If there are no surprises. It should be able to catch up with this war that lays down the situation of the territory. As a military strategist, Asuna is naturally more experienced than Elizabeth, and judging from the location of these seven small red flags, she can roughly deduce the marching speed of this army, "But I really didn't expect that Sean actually hid such an army." …… The intelligence shows the size of more than 9,000 people? ”

"There are more than 7,000 Northland barbarians, but only about 4,000 are actually armed. In addition, there are more than 1,000 mixed troops, totaling more than 9,000 people. Elizabeth replied, "But in reality there were only more than 5,000 men who actually fought." However, these 5,000 men had already defeated the troops of more than 20,000 of the four lords in total, and they had also attacked several towns along the way, if it weren't for the fact that the Northland barbarians were not good at horsemanship, they would probably be able to form a cavalry force of 2,000 people. …… But by the time I got this information, there were probably only about 6,000 of the 9,000 people left. ”

Asuna pondered for a moment before she spoke, "It seems that when this army arrives in Panda, I'm afraid it will give Sean a big surprise." ”

"Say, are we going to buy a batch of Northland barbarian slaves to train?" Elizabeth smiled, "These guys look very easy to raise, and their combat effectiveness is quite high." This Sir Connery will surprise many people. …… You say, do I want to take people to the border to guard in case there are any accidents? ”

"No, I don't." Asuna shook her head, "Viscount Dodge is a very timid man. All the private soldiers in his entire territory were gathered and he didn't know if there were 3,000 people in the road, and he wanted to use this number of people to block Alfred's imposing army, hehe......" Speaking of the last few days, Asuna let out a sneer: "Unless the lords of the territories behind Viscount Dorcy see something and send reinforcements together, it will never be possible to stop this wolf pack." ”

"I always felt ...... Those guys in the kingdom of Dabion may allow this pack of wolves to return easily. ”

……

The cold wind howled.

Alfred made a routine tour of the camp.

The camp was actually just a meeting point, and there were no tents or anything like that, everyone slept on the floor wrapped in a blanket, and the camp didn't even light a bonfire to avoid attracting attention. Although they had found a leeward spot as much as possible, the howling cold wind still made many people feel a little chilled, so most of the soldiers were huddled together to keep warm.

During the routine rounds, many soldiers who were not asleep would greet Alfred when they saw him. And Alfred responded one by one without any scruples, and didn't seem to think that it would be a waste of time to do so, and whenever he saw a wounded soldier struggling to endure the pain, the heroic middle-aged man would stop, and then help check the other party's injuries again, and help the other party change the dressing by the way.

In the past two months, thousands of kilometers have been traveled, and there have been seven large and small wars.

In every battle, Alfred is always at the forefront of the battle, no matter what kind of army the enemy is, or what kind of strong enemy there is, Alfred has never flinched half a step. He is always the first person to cut through the enemy's troops, and he is always the one who runs in the most critical place on the battlefield, because the troops have families, so every time a war breaks out, they are actually very passive, if it weren't for Alfred carrying a halberd to rush back and forth in the enemy's formation, many times they would not be able to open the situation at all.

In just two months, Alfred had twenty-one new wounds on his body, many of which were just right before bursting open due to fierce fighting. Although this army has been sharply reduced from more than 9,000 people at the beginning to only more than 6,000 people now, and even the veterans who came out of Tynders to follow Sean are now only eleven, but Alfred has really won the respect of this army.

The Northland barbarians called him the Great Minister, which was an honorific title second only to the chief and priest, and only those who were both strong and convinced by the Northland barbarians would be called so. The White Wing Mercenary Regiment called it the regiment leader, as a mercenary regiment, they didn't know anything, and they knew that the new master they followed became a lord, and their status would also rise to become a formal army, but they still liked the previous mercenary regiment, calling Alfred the regiment commander instead of a general.

All this was not said with empty promises, but rushed out from seven life and death wanderings.

After touring the camp, Alfred returned to the rear of the "camp".

This location is the best protected, it is difficult for the cold wind to blow here, and even if there is, it will not be too bone-chilling, and little Hina sleeps here. The whole army also loved this cheerful girl, not just because she was Alfred's daughter, but because even on the battlefield, this little girl never cried and made noise, let alone caused any trouble to the army.

On two occasions, the outer line of defense was breached, and the enemy rushed into the formation and slaughtered the old and young of the Northland barbarians, and on one occasion almost killed the little girl. But I don't know what happened to Lu Dao later, and when a veteran rushed to the rescue, what he finally saw was that Hina was holding a long sword in both hands, standing on the spot with a demonic face, and there was an old man of the Northland barbarians and three private soldiers who didn't know which nobleman Lu Dao belonged to.

After this incident, Alfred blamed himself very much, but little Sheena turned back to comfort Alfred, and even said that he would become a soldier in the future. In the next three battles since then, Alfred has never given any enemy a chance to break through the defenses, and it is even more obvious that Alfred's fighting style has become significantly more ferocious, with a sense of never looking back.

"There's still a month." Alfred's voice was low, "There's still a month left before I can join Sean." ”

But at this moment, a sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded.

A rain of arrows poured down from nowhere, and then you could even feel the sound of the earth shaking, obviously a cavalry unit was charging!

"Enemy attack!"

The tragic roar instantly resounded throughout the cold night! (To be continued.) )
