In the middle of the night, Li Huailin found Sansar again.
"Now? Where are we going? "Sansar asked curiously.
"Intercept the reinforcements. Where else?" Li Huailin said. "We've only destroyed Goslin's troops. There are still three or four thousand reinforcements. If all of them arrive, we won't be able to defeat them."
"But you only need three hundred? Three hundred against four thousand? "Sansar asked.
"I told you, don't always look at numbers, okay?" Li Huailin said. "Do you think the reinforcements will all appear at once?"
"Uh …"
"They'll definitely come in waves and gather at Sebish City. Each wave has a few hundred people, and most of them are farmers. Three hundred should be enough. If we bring more, they'll know what we're doing, "Li Huailin said.
"Yes." Sansar nodded. "But warrior Wocha, let me go for such a dangerous task."
How could Li Huailin let him steal his soul points? He immediately said, "You're the leader. If you're not here, won't we be exposed? I'll go. "
"That's true." Sansar thought it made sense, so he nodded.
So, in the middle of the night, a team of three hundred Titans secretly set off and went around the side of Sebish City. Because it was night, the people on the city wall did not notice.
Depp was the lord of Bertonisha County, a baron of the empire. Because of his family, he had only been in this new territory for less than three years. He used to be a small officer in the empire's army. Now that he had become a lord, he had no battles to fight. Occasionally, he would organize people to attack the nearby giant villages, but it was not enough to satisfy his craving.
However, last night, Depp received a shocking piece of news. A group of giants had actually attacked the human territory. Not only that, but they had also surrounded Sebish City. (Gosling didn't let the messenger tell them that he had already lost a battle, because that was too embarrassing. He only said that his city was surrounded, and that the enemy had too many people, so he asked for reinforcements.) This was simply too unbelievable. When Depp first heard it, he thought that the other party was joking.
"How dare those savages come to our human territory?" Depp said in disbelief.
"Yes, I can't believe it either, but it's true, Sir," the messenger said nervously. He knew what was going on in the city.
"Although I can't believe it, if it's Lord Gosling's order, I'll definitely follow it." Depp thought for a moment and said, "I'll gather the troops tomorrow morning and rush to Sebish City immediately."
"That's great. Sir, please hurry up. Sir Gosling is very anxious," the messenger said.
"Is the situation that serious? Don't worry, I'll be quick. "Depp nodded.
"Then, Sir, I still have to hurry. Luke, I'll take my leave first," the messenger said immediately as he hurried to inform the next lord.
"Yes, I understand." Depp nodded.
After bidding farewell to the messenger, Depp immediately informed his subordinates of the news. These subordinates were all old subordinates that Depp had brought from the military camp. They were all people who liked to fight.
"That's great. There's a war to fight," one of the subordinates said excitedly.
"It doesn't look good. Sir Gosling has an army of three thousand, but he's so anxious. It seems like the other party has quite a lot of people. This battle might not be easy," Depp said after thinking for a moment.
"They're savages. They just have a lot of people. Sir Gosling gets nervous when he sees so many people. Actually, it's nothing much. They're very weak." The subordinate said, "Sir, if you can make a contribution in this battle, you might even be promoted to a noble."
"Yes …" Depp's family had a strong background. If he performed well, his family would naturally help his superiors with the matter of promotion. There shouldn't be a problem. "Johnny, gather the troops tomorrow morning. We're the closest to Sebid City. We must be the first to arrive and leave a deep impression on Sir Gosling. This way, we'll have to send at least four hundred soldiers this time."
"Four hundred … That's a little difficult …" The subordinate named Johnny frowned slightly. "But don't worry, Sir. I'll think of something. I should be able to gather it."
"Yes, everyone, rest well today. We're going to have a big battle tomorrow. We need to show the bravery of our Laertemon family," Depp said.
"Yes!" All the subordinates replied in unison.
So, the next morning, Depp had already put on his armor. When he walked to the entrance of his mansion, the soldiers had already been gathered. There were exactly four hundred of them. However, because there weren't enough adult men, he still gathered some older soldiers and made them stand at the back so that Depp wouldn't be able to see them.
"Everyone knows the situation. Sir Gosling is surrounded by the Giants. Our Bertonisha County is a subordinate county of Sebid City. It's our duty as reinforcements. I hope that everyone will fight bravely and show the courage of our Bertonisha people!" Depp said a few simple sentences, but the response from the subordinates was mediocre. They were just peasants, so they didn't have much fighting spirit. They were doing fine farming at home, but they were suddenly dragged into battle. Moreover, they had to kill their own enemies to get the reward. Who would be willing to do that? Although Depp was very excited, the soldiers below him only responded weakly.
"Okay." Depp was already used to the reaction of the soldiers, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Bertonisha County was the closest county to Sebish City. It would only take an hour to get there on horseback. Marching would take a little longer, but it would still take less than three hours. Depp calculated that they would be able to reach Sebish City by noon. He should be the first lord to arrive.
"Chris, the weakness of the Savages is their neck. You can kill them in one shot with a spear. Don't compete with them in strength." Johnny was explaining the weakness of the Titans to his son. He had just come of age today, so it was his first time participating in a battle.
"Yes, father." Chris was indeed a little nervous. He had never seen the Titans before. He only heard that they were big and strong, and this was his first battle. His hand holding the spear was trembling a little.
"Don't worry. The Savages are just a little stronger and taller. They're not that strong. You'll know when the battle starts. Look at the soldiers below. They're not afraid at all. You're a warrior who aims to be a knight. How can you be afraid?"
Johnny was Depp's personal knight. If there were no accidents, after he retired, his son Chris would also be a knight of the Lertmund family. Although it wasn't a noble title, it was still much more noble than a commoner. Chris nodded when he heard this. After all, he was a completely different existence from the soldiers below him. How could he be worse than them? His heart was much calmer now.
"Chris, don't worry. Your father is right. There's nothing to be afraid of with the Savages." Depp also came over to give him a few words of encouragement. He had watched Chris grow up, and this was the first time the little guy had gone out into battle. It reminded him of his first time on the battlefield, so he also gave him a few words of encouragement. "If you can achieve military merits in this battle, I will officially confer upon you the title of knight."
"Really, my lord?" Master? "Chris said excitedly.
"Yes, it depends on your performance." Depp nodded. Johnny had contributed a lot to him, so he naturally had to take care of his son. There was no difference between granting him the title now or later. He might as well encourage this little guy.
"Thank you, my lord!" Johnny immediately said.
"Thank you, my lord!" Chris said immediately.
While they were chatting, something suddenly happened. Suddenly, an earth-shaking battle cry came from the front. Everyone immediately turned to look and saw an army of giants. Moreover, looking at their equipment, they didn't seem to be an ordinary army, but a regular army.
"What?!" Everyone was shocked. No one had thought that they would be ambushed by the Titan army in human territory. This had never happened before.
"Back … Back off! Get into formation! " Depp was scared half to death, but he still had his judgment. They were marching and had no formation at all. They had to get into formation immediately to block them before they could think of the next step.
But she quickly realized that the terrain was not right. There were mountains on the left and right, which happened to be where the valley was. They could either advance or retreat. There was no formation at all.
"This … Why does this seem like an ambush?" Depp was shocked, but he immediately rejected this idea. Did you hear that the savages knew how to ambush and use tricks? Wouldn't people laugh at you if you told them? It was probably just luck. Depp immediately said, "Everyone, retreat to the open space behind us and get into formation."
"Kill!" Just as he said this, there was another battle cry behind them. Everyone turned to look. There was also a Titan army behind them, charging towards the back of their army.
"What!" This really shocked Depp. This was definitely an ambush. They surrounded them from the front and back, leaving no way out. Did the savages really know how to use tricks?
Before he could react, he heard a voice above his head, "Alright, throw it."
Before he could react, a few huge rocks fell from the sky, and one of them happened to hit his head. Depp's vision went black, and he immediately fainted.
Half an hour later, the valley was quiet. The ground was filled with human corpses. On the Titans' side, there were basically no casualties.
"Oh, so it's like this. If there are only three soul tools, the absorption speed is indeed faster." Li Huailin stood on the cliff above and looked at the soul tool in his bag. The soul points had already climbed to 8000. He nodded in satisfaction. It was just as he had thought. There was hope of charging it.
Turning around, Li Huailin said to the Titan captain, Adil, "It's too slow. We've fought for half an hour with so few people. Get everyone to clean up the battlefield. Clean it up cleanly. Don't let anyone see any flaws."
"Yes, warrior Wocha!" Adil nodded.
