"Bastard! That Allen thinks he's some great person. Isn't he just a baron? "On the way back, Abel said with a ferocious expression," Uncle, after this war is over, I will leave the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine. At that time, you will first make me a Knight. In less than three years, I will also be able to sit in the position of baron. At that time, I will see how Allen will use his title to suppress me. "
Glar shook his head and said, "That's no problem, but are you willing to part with Miss Jorah?"
Speaking of Jorah, Abel's face darkened and he smiled bitterly, "Actually, you know that even if Miss Jorah doesn't like Allen, it won't be my turn. I heard that the Count is going to marry the Marquis of Iron Spear, most likely to marry Miss Jorah to Hoey's son. "
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get Miss Jorah, but at the very least, I can't let Allen look down on me."
"Since you can see this clearly, I have nothing more to say. Jorah's identity is special. She is the Count's sister. It's not surprising that Oban will marry her to Hoey's son for the sake of revitalizing the family. "
Abel nodded and said, "All I want now is for Miss Jorah to look at me differently, even if it's just once. Uncle, you will definitely help me, right? "
Glar sighed, "You are the most outstanding young man in our family. If I don't help you, who will I help? Besides, I don't like Allen either. "
As the uncle and nephew were talking, the sound of horse hooves came from behind them. The two of them turned around and saw that it was Jorah riding a snow-white warhorse. That was her beloved horse. Jorah came to their side and got off the horse. His gaze swept across Abel and finally landed on Glar. "Uncle Glar, why are you doing this?"
"Miss Jorah, what did you say?" Glar pretended to be confused.
"You know what I'm talking about. I know what you and Abel are thinking. But I warn you, this is the last time. Don't provoke Sir Allen again. You and I both know what Sir Allen and his army can do in this situation. I need their strength. If you do this again, I can only ask you to leave. "After saying that, Ruo La flipped over and mounted his horse. With a pat of the horse's butt, the warhorse galloped away.
Immediately, Zora gritted her teeth in hatred and thought to herself, "If I had known that this Grar was so hateful, I would have let my brother plunder the treasury of his nest as well!"
The eldest miss was still obsessed with Glar's vault. Of course, anyone who could copy millions of dollars in one night would be like her. Unfortunately, now was not the time. Ruo La could only think about it in his heart.
The Heavenly Unicorn Army was strangely quiet and did not attack again.
However, at dawn the next day, a group of cavalry drove out of the unicorn camp. The hooves of the cavalrymen's horses were wrapped in soft cotton cloth, so that the horses would not make a sound when they stepped on the ground. When the cavalry left the camp like a whirlwind, the few hidden sentries that Ruola had set up near the enemy camp were all found and knocked out one by one.
Daniel, who had disguised himself as a soldier, watched the cavalry leave. At his feet was the corpse of a scout. He used the clothes on the corpse to wipe off the blood on the sword before pulling down his helmet and walking back towards the barracks.
In the darkest hour before dawn, the cavalry of the Unicorn Legion ambushed Bauhinia Main City. However, this was only a harassing attack, but when Ruola arrived, dozens of corpses of the guards had already fallen on the city wall. After the enemy cavalry attacked, they immediately left without even looking at the result, causing Ruola to stomp her feet in hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
After dawn, the horn of attack sounded in the unicorn camp. Troops left the barracks and attacked in the direction of the main city. This time, Hagrid sent out three armies. As the army charged, a dull rumbling sound of cannons rang out. The eight cannons that had been pulled over with Daniel yesterday were rearranged on the shelling position. There were heavy troops in front of the position to prevent Allen from destroying the position with a few rounds of fire and lightning bombardment yesterday.
This time, under the cover of the artillery bombardment, the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine did not seem to be as relaxed as yesterday. Many of the firepower points on the defensive wall had been patronized by the enemy's artillery shells. Dark cannonballs whistled down from the sky, causing a series of explosions on the defensive wall. Although Zora and the other experts of the army rose up to intercept them, their numbers were limited, and the defensive wall area that they could protect was relatively small.
More places were bombarded by artillery fire, causing the gunmen of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine to be unable to effectively suppress the enemy's advance to the bottom of the city wall. After that, there were several rounds of intense offensive and defensive battles. After the battle lasted for more than an hour, the unicorn camp blew the horn of retreat again. Thus, they abandoned the city that was filled with smoke and quickly retreated. If La was indignant, he sent out cavalry to chase after him, but he could only kill a group of enemy soldiers. The unicorn sent out reinforcements, and the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine had no choice but to retreat.
This kind of battle where you attack and I defend, you retreat and I chase after you many times throughout the day. The frequency of the Heavenly Unicorn's battles was astonishing. Hagrid organized the entire army into several teams, each of which fought one after another. Every battle was short and intense. After completing a battle, the team returned to the camp and sent out a new team. Even though the stamina of the unicorn army was also being consumed, it was clear that the consumption of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine was much more intense.
Especially the endless attacks of the enemy, the continuous attacks made the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine feel suffocated. In the end, when the soldiers heard the cannons, they almost reflexively jumped up. There was no time to rest at all.
It wasn't until evening that the unicorn stopped attacking. The warriors of the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine were exhausted. Many of them found a corner on the defensive wall and closed their eyes to sleep.
"The situation isn't good."
On the defensive wall, Jorah said worriedly.
Allen glanced around and saw tired warriors everywhere. Such soldiers had almost no combat strength. What was even more deadly was that their morale and fighting spirit had been completely wiped out by the repeated attacks of the enemy today. Allen sighed, "Hagrid intends to grind down our morale and combat strength before launching a general attack and deciding the outcome of the battle."
"Then they've miscalculated. Brother's army will arrive tomorrow. At that time, we will kill them all at once. "
"It's not that simple." Allen shook his head and said, "Military intelligence is the first priority when the two armies confront each other. If Daniel didn't even know that Earl Oban's army was rushing here, he wouldn't have the qualifications to sit in his current position. If I were Daniel, I would definitely make some arrangements to delay the Earl's army. "
As if to verify Allen's words, Jorah received an urgent report not long after. The urgent report was from Ou Ban, claiming that he had encountered Daniel's army halfway and would probably not be able to arrive on time. Jorah was asked to continue her defense. After handing the urgent report to Allen, Jorah sighed, "Looks like we'll have to guard it for another two days or so."
After reading the urgent report, Allen sighed, "If that's the case, it's exactly what Daniel wants. We have to do something so that we won't be passive all the time. "
After saying that, a faint smile appeared on his face. "I have a plan, but it's a little risky."
"What plan?" Jorah raised her head and asked.
"Based on your knowledge of Daniel, he has set up a large number of troops here and still has the strength to harass the Count's army. Then how many troops do you think he has left in the territory? "
Jorah thought seriously and said, "The unicorn army has around three thousand men. You crippled a thousand men army earlier." Even if he used the reserves, he would barely be able to muster around 2,500 people. This was almost the number of heavy troops that had been set up here. "The power that Daniel used to harass his brother is most likely a mercenary or adventurer recruited from other sources. As for the territory's guards, there won't be many."
"At most, it won't be more than three hundred, right?"
Allen nodded and said, "I think so too, so I have a plan. Tonight, I'll leave with a team and bypass the bauhinia to raid Daniel's lair. I want to see if his backyard is on fire. Will he still put all his troops here? "
"You mean, you want to force Daniel to split up?" Jorah said cheerfully, "That's a good idea, but Daniel isn't here. He must be guarding his own territory. If you go, I'm afraid you'll collide with him directly. "
"That's why I said it was a bit risky. However, no one is sure to win a war. As long as there's more than five points, I think we can take a gamble." Allen said resolutely, "Let's do it this way. I'll go down and get someone ready to leave late at night."
"Be careful." Ruo La was not a sloppy person, so she immediately agreed.
Allen turned around and was about to leave when his hand was suddenly grabbed by Ruo La. She pulled back, and when Allen turned around, Ruo La's red lips were already printed on his lips. Although the two of them touched and separated, Ruo La's face was as red as a ripe apple. She whispered, "You must come back."
"Of course, Daniel isn't a beauty. I'm not interested in lingering in his territory." Allen joked before he really left.
Late at night, Allen didn't alarm anyone. Under the cover of Ruo La's trusted aides, he quietly left the city. He brought along a hundred warriors, an elite team made up of King Of Mountains, Inch Fire, and a few Dark Blades, and left. Their target was Daniel's territory.
But even Allen didn't know that he had made a mistake this time. In order to deal with him, Daniel had secretly come to the Bauhinia Territory. As for the viscount's own territory, it was now at its most empty.
The warriors Allen had brought out were all elites. The combat strength of this team was not inferior to that of a regular army of five hundred men, and it was even better. The team advanced, crossing mountains and rivers, and after a night of galloping. According to the detailed map given by Jorah, Allen and the others sneaked in from the side of the Emerald Mountain Range and headed straight for Unicorn Castle, wanting to give Daniel an unexpected surprise.
Before dawn, Allen was hiding in the crown of a large tree in a forest facing Lake Portilli. From his direction, there were only a few sporadic lights flickering on the pitch-black lake. Those were the lights reflected from a few sentry towers of Unicorn Castle.
With the help of the fire, Allen could vaguely see a few scattered defensive walls with only a few sparse guards. Just as he and Jorah had guessed, Daniel had pitifully few guards on his territory when all his elite troops were out.
This was an opportunity, and the only one he was worried about was Daniel.
Counting the time, it had been a month since Charlie poisoned him. According to Baggins' estimation, Daniel should have dropped a level by now. A Level 24 Viscount might not be that difficult to deal with. Even if he was no match for him, Allen could still calmly retreat.
He slid down the tree, and immediately four Dark Blade Warriors in black nocturnal clothes came to his side. Allen pointed in the direction of the castle and said, "The sentry tower."
The Dark Blade Warriors immediately understood. They restrained their auras and sneaked towards the castle in the night.
Allen gestured, and the warriors hiding in the forest quietly rushed over, ready to attack at any time. Now, he was waiting for the Dark Blade to move. Not long after, on the left side of the castle facing the forest, the flames in a sentry tower swayed back and forth. That was the signal that the Dark Blade Warriors had succeeded. Allen no longer hesitated and raised Qianjun to point forward.
Thus, in the darkest moment of the world, warhorses with cotton hooves sprang out of the forest. With silent steps, they galloped onto the lake avenue of the castle like a group of ghosts. It wasn't until the team had galloped halfway through the passageway that a dozing guard on the wall happened to look down and realized that the enemy had already arrived in front of him. He hurriedly rang the silver bell beside him, sending out the signal of the enemy attack.
Just as he finished knocking, the guard's chest turned cold. Behind him, a Dark Blade Warrior appeared like a ghost. After pulling out the poisoned dagger that pierced through his chest, he placed the guard firmly on the ground of the wall and rushed towards a group of guards who had come out not far away.
Just as they were about to reach the wall, the Inch Fire Warriors in the team raised their Flame Fighting Rifles. Under Allen's orders, the sequence was activated, and lines lit up on these rough rifles. In the next moment, more than thirty fireballs dragged their flame tails and landed on the sentry tower, the commanding heights, and the two defensive cannons of the castle.
A series of loud explosions immediately tore through the tranquil night of Lake Portilli. The flames that soared into the sky ignited the night sky above the castle. The flames were reflected on the surface of the lake, clearly reflecting the reflection of the castle that was emitting flames everywhere.
The people in the castle were awakened. The warriors hurriedly put on their armor and ran out of the barracks, running towards the castle's defensive wall. In the castle, the old butler heard the explosion and walked out of his room with an ancient-looking firearm. Servants screamed and ran in all directions in the corridor. Sporadic explosions and continuous rough gunshots could be heard from outside, causing the old butler's heart to beat uncontrollably.
