Chapter 50: Battle of the Golan Heights

Herman Buckley came with great force, but Lord Idar seemed to be prepared.

When he led his knights to rush into a village in the Idar-controlled area on the Gran Highlands, he regretfully found that the village was empty.

The serfs in the village had long been moved away by Old Ford, leaving behind only some lonely thatched huts.

In this way, Herman Buckley "conquered" three or four deserted villages in succession, which obviously made him very annoyed.

It was already afternoon since he entered the Golan Heights in the morning, and Herman Buckley hadn't even seen the shadow of an Idar soldier.

"These cowardly Idar people! These cowards who are running away in fear! Don't they even have the courage to fight us head-on?" Herman Barkley cursed.

"Sir... we have now reached the southernmost tip of the Grand Heights. If we continue walking forward, we will soon leave the Grand Heights..."

"What do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush!" Herman Buckley glanced at him and said.

"Should we rest here for a night and then march directly south to the city of Idar tomorrow?" the adjutant suggested.

It would take a whole day to get from the Gran Heights to the city of Idar even on horseback, not to mention that there were only more than fifty cavalrymen in Soran's army. The hundreds of civilian soldiers seriously slowed down Herman Barkley's advance.

"These damn civilians, they are all lazy bastards! All my arrangements have been dragged down by them!" Although Herman Barkley is arrogant, he is not a fool.

Therefore, although he hoped to fight Idar as soon as possible, he had no choice but to accept the advice of his adjutant.

If they leave the Gran Highlands and advance southward now, they will enter a plain area without any shelter, which will be extremely disadvantageous for the army of Sauron.

Moreover, in this era, soldiers generally did not have enough vitamins. Almost most of them could only barely fill their stomachs. Most of them had some symptoms of night blindness, so marching at night was almost impossible.

Therefore, instead of continuing the march and risking a surprise attack by the Idar people, it would be better to set up camp again with the advantage of the terrain and make plans tomorrow. Anyway, the Golan Highlands have been under their feet.

Although it is early spring, the wind on the Golan Highlands is still exceptionally cold. After all, the altitude is high and the surroundings are bare with no shelter.

The knights were fine, as they not only had thick clothes, but they could also live in the huts abandoned by the Idar people and get a good night's sleep.

But this made life difficult for the civilian soldiers. They naturally could not enjoy the treatment of the noble lords. They could only huddle together, shivering in the cold wind.

After eating some dry food they had brought with them, they huddled together in the cold wind and fell into a half-asleep sleep, being woken up by the cold from time to time during the night.

By the next morning, two or three civilian soldiers had frozen to death due to hunger and cold.

This undoubtedly made Herman Barkley extremely angry. He didn't even see the Idar people, but his own side had already suffered casualties. This was simply a huge joke.

So Herman Barclay immediately ordered his troops to march south, crossing the Golan Heights and continuing to advance southward.

…

There is an unknown small town between the Golan Heights and the city of Idar, which usually serves as a transit station between the Golan Heights and the city of Idar.

And now, three hundred infantrymen (regular troops) and fifty cavalrymen (royal guards) have been gathered here for a long time, waiting for the arrival of Soran's army.

Bruno's war goal was very clear: to annihilate the invading enemy in one fell swoop and seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Territory of Sauron.

It was for this reason that Bruno set the battlefield here.

The reason why Bruno did not engage in direct combat with Soran's army in the Gran Highlands was that he hoped to lure the enemy deep into his territory and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, thus avoiding the news from leaking out and letting any fish slip through the net.

Moreover, the nights in the Golan Heights are extremely cold, and camping there will significantly reduce the combat effectiveness of civilian soldiers. However... noble generals like Herman Buckley obviously do not realize this.

After all, his arrogance as a noble made him habitually ignore the feelings of common people.

The commander of the Idar army was Sam Layton, while Bruno, accompanied by Lister, went to the Cape Salt Works for an "inspection".

Although Bruno knew that he had a high chance of winning, but... a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. In case of any emergency, there are still fifty guards at the Cape Salt Works who can ensure his safety.

Finally, at noon, the Soran army led by Herman Barkley appeared in Sam Layton's sight.

And Herman Buckley naturally also saw the Idar army in the distance.

"These timid Idar people have finally shown up!" The moment he saw the Idar people, Herman Buckley laughed excitedly.

The battlefield between the two sides was in a plain area, so the number of troops on both sides could be estimated at a glance. Herman Barkley saw that his side had an obvious numerical advantage and felt that victory was in his grasp.

However, even though I feel like I have a sure win, I still have to take the necessary steps...

"Adjutant! Line up the civilian soldiers! The civilian soldiers in front, the guards in the back, the knights guarding the two wings, prepare to charge!!"

"yes!"

Obviously, seeing that his army had a clear advantage, the adjutant's voice also became eager to try.

On the other side, Sam Layton was already ready to take on these unknown Soran-led troops.

Not only him, but every soldier in the standing army has been looking forward to this battle for a long time! The high-intensity training every day makes them eager to experience a real battle to prove themselves, not to mention that the reward Bruno offers is too generous! Even if they die in battle, their families will receive a high pension, which makes them worry-free.

On the other hand, the soldiers on the opposite side looked listless, and it was obvious that they were forced to fight by the noble knights. There was a world of difference between their attire and that of the standing army.

Krel clenched his weapon and stood in the line.

This was his first time going to the battlefield. Although his palms were a little sweaty due to nervousness, he did not feel the slightest fear.

This war is to defend the territorial integrity of Idar and to protect the interests of all Idar people!

Therefore, not only Claire, but every soldier had no fear in their hearts! "Attack!" Herman Barkley shouted loudly.

As Sauron's army gradually moved forward, the war that both sides had been looking forward to for a long time finally began!
