Chapter 184 Rand's Secret

Rand was now sitting on a horse, marching under the escort of his personal guards.

Crescent Moon Territory is not far from New Moon Territory, and we have already walked more than half the distance.

But at this moment, Rand was sitting on his horse and not paying attention to the road. He was holding a stack of pamphlets in his hand, writing in distorted handwriting:

"Historical Records: The Biography of Empress Lü" Bo entered the army gate and issued an order to the army: "For Lü, stand on the right side, for Liu, stand on the left side." The army all stood on the left side. Bo then led the northern army.

"What are you writing?" Ellie rode over and looked at the booklet in Rand's hand.

This booklet is the prototype of the current compulsory courses in war studies one, two and three, which is also the reference book. Rand often wrote some incomprehensible words on it.

The title page is about attacking the enemy with your best strategy or something like that, and the last page is about acting according to circumstances.

Now Rand added another incomprehensible sentence on it, something about Records of the Grand Historian or something like that.

"A plan for Tanr," Rand explained.

Ellie blinked and asked, "Do you always use secret signals when you lead your troops into battle?"

Land raised the booklet in his hand and said, "Of course, I told Tanner that this is not the case. This thing must take into account literary quality. But the opinions given to Tanner must be clear and will not cause misunderstanding."

"So what does that mean?" Ellie asked.

"Tan'er's idea should be consistent with mine." Rand said, "The defense line should be in a state of disarray now. The second prince's abilities in all aspects are too poor. So it's time to seize military power."

Rand didn't want to do this, but if the defense line was really breached, he would be the one in trouble.

If this situation really happened, it would be much more painful than him being excluded and not getting any credit.

Even the army of the Southern Kingdom may come to attack the Crescent Moon Territory, and it may not be impossible to fight a battle to defend the hideout at that time.

If he lost the war, it would be bad if Rand was captured by the Snow Fox Countess and made a slave.

So in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Rand plans to take the initiative.

Taner sent a message to Rand to tell him his judgment. Rand trusted Taner very much, so he estimated that the defense line was now shaky.

I just don't know how critical the situation is.

When he learned the news, Rand sent a message to Taner and gave him his thoughts, which could be considered as authorization.

After all, if the prince's military power is not handled properly, it will cause huge problems. Naturally, it requires authorization from the highest commander of Rand's hideout, the lord of Crescent Territory and New Moon Territory.

I just hope it won't turn out too ugly.

…

The defense line is already covered in blood.

In the crowded and narrow defense line, a large number of corpses piled up.

Both sides.

At this time, the Knights had already returned to support, but they could not get up in a short time.

The gates and walls on the front of the defense line have all been lost. If these knights want to enter the defense line, they need to attack again.

Otherwise, the dug trenches and rugged city walls would be obstacles for these knights.

But now they had to withstand the harassment of the cavalry of the Snow Fox Countess from the rear and try to attack the defense line.

This situation was too painful for these knights, but if they did not take back the defense line, they would be finished, and the most likely outcome would be annihilation.

Even if he escaped back to the Frost Moon Kingdom, he would probably face execution.

After being annoyed by the Snow Fox Countess cavalry in the rear for a while, this defensive cavalry finally made a decision. They planned to defeat the harassing cavalry first, otherwise they would be unable to do anything.

Just when they turned around and tried to deal with the cavalry led by Countess Snow Fox herself, Countess Snow Fox sneered and also led her troops to change direction.

This method was learned from the Brown Moon Deer Raiders. Before, after she lost her relative knights, her territory was disgusted by Taner's fighting style.

In short, if you can't win, run, but don't run far. If the opponent doesn't chase you, just follow you. This fighting style is like a mosquito in summer, which was summarized by the Snow Fox Countess as the mosquito tactics.

The Snow Fox Countess herself also felt disgusted, but that did not stop her from being useful. For example, now she was using two hundred cavalrymen to hold back these anxious 500 or so cavalrymen on the defense line.

However, the Snow Fox Countess was not aware of what was happening in the defense line. Although she did not understand why the defense line was still filled with shouts of killing, since these people were hiding in the defense line and not coming out, their numbers and quality of troops must be weaker than hers.

Moreover, due to the surprise attack, there were not many losses in the attack on the defense line, and those fighting on the defense line were all elite troops.

There's nothing to worry about.

And in the defense line, Taner finally met the elite troops of the Snow Fox Countess at the gate of the core fortress.

When the defense line was first built, trenches were dug, then forts were built, and then the forts were connected with city walls.

The core dock is Taner's command post, and also has some function of storing supplies. It is the most solid and has a fairly ingenious design. In theory, it is the most difficult to break.

At this moment, at the entrance of the core dock, the bloodiest meat grinder battlefield appeared.

The two sides blocked the door and fought, neither side gave in. The corpses were piled up to the waist. The enemy outside had to move the corpses away before they could continue to try to invade.

Generally speaking, if the top-level professionals fight head-on, they will not play a big role in a large-scale army war. In a head-on battle, it is very powerful for a top-level professional to be able to fight thirty at once.

But if it is a relatively small environment and there is no need to face too many enemies at the same time, the combat power that the top-level professionals can exert is not small.

For example, at this moment, when Taner arrived, the entrance of the fort was already badly damaged.

There were also top-level professionals on the opposite side, and the entrance to the fortress was cut out with huge gaps, as if it had been torn by a giant beast.

It is also filled with magical energy.

Both sides were so bloodthirsty at this point that it no longer felt like a normal military war.

There were even strong men on the opposite side carrying huge swords as big as door panels and charging through the corridor of the defense line.

Taner curled his lips and motioned Fenris beside him to attack together. At this time, Rand's war theory was not very useful. Rand did not know much about the fighting between high-level professionals.

Taner is a serious top-level professional, while Fenris is more subtle, but their combat effectiveness is not much different.

Drawing a dagger from his waist, Taner grabbed the spear head that was thrust at him with his arm and broke it, then rushed into the crowd on the opposite side and pushed a large number of people away.

The sturdy man carrying a huge sword, who also looked like a top-level professional, immediately noticed this side and stopped attacking the intersection of the dock. He turned around, took a few steps forward, and used his body to drive the huge sword to chop horizontally.

Taner took two steps back to avoid the huge sword's horizontal slash, then rushed forward a few steps and drew his sword.

The sturdy man was naturally fully armed with iron armor, but he obviously realized that Taner was not an ordinary person. He did not dare to rely on the advantage of armor to resist and also wanted to retreat and avoid.

But Taner's one-handed dagger is much more flexible than the strong man's door-panel giant sword.

Go forward and chase.

The sword pierced through the armor on the sturdy man, but the damage was not much. When Taner retracted the sword, there was only a blood stain on the tip of the sword.

It’s not that Taner didn’t want to expand the victory, but the strong man’s giant sword had already chopped down diagonally.

And there seems to be magical energy surging in the back, probably a magic ball.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Release this kind of spell in such a small environment?

Taner was thinking about whether to pick up a shield to resist, when the magical energy behind the burly man disappeared.

Instead, there was a slight burning sensation.

It's Fenris.

The sturdy man chopped down with the sword again. Taner didn't understand why this man used such a huge weapon in a small environment, but he had to admit that the power was indeed amazing. Every time he chopped, large areas of damage would occur inside the brick and stone defense line.

If he had arrived a little later, this sturdy man in heavy armor and carrying a huge sword might even have chopped down the entrance to the core fortress.

Taner once again dodged the giant sword's attack and came in front of the burly man.

A few arrows flew over and pierced Taner's armor, but it was not a big problem. The paladin's armor was strong to begin with, and it was also lined with magic steel armor plates.

It is not easy for a sharp weapon to cause damage to Taner.

Some knights nearby rushed over to help Taner, but were easily swept away by the burly man.

Then he threw a straight punch at Taner.

But Taner grabbed his hand and said helplessly, "Do you look down on me so much?"

For the strong man, strength has always been invincible, but now it is being held back.

Taner had avoided the giant sword before just because he didn't want to get hurt, but now this strong man actually tried to hit him with his fist.

Taner turned around and stabbed a few more people, trying to help the armored man break the spear with the one-handed sword in his hand.

And a hand has appeared above the sturdy man's head.

Fenris is more like a mage in a sense. Although he is good at swordsmanship, he is better at using the abilities of the Torch Cult, such as ignition.

As we all know, iron has a strong ability to conduct heat.

Fenris's hand began to burn, and a foul burning smell emanated from the strong man's helmet.

The fire went out.

The morale of the other side remained high, and a large number of people still rushed over.

But without the top leader, it was much easier for Taner's army to enter the core fortress.

The noble guarding the door also knew Taner, and began to take the initiative to protect them as they entered the core fortress.

At this time, many people had gathered in the core fortress, most of them were nobles with their trusted followers.

Most of them sat down on the ground and took the time to rest. Many of them were injured or exhausted.

Faced with the enemy's relentless siege, they were already somewhat desperate, and Taner's arrival was a shot in the arm.

The second prince, who was also very desperate, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw at this moment. He immediately came over and ordered: "Knight Taner, as the commander and the second prince of the Frost Moon Kingdom, I order you to escort me to retreat now."

Taner ignored him. Now he had some idea of ​​what Rand meant by the confusing message he had sent him when the vibration communication device worked.

He glanced at the nobles and soldiers present and asked, "Do you think that this failure is because you didn't fight bravely?"

No one answered.

"Do you think you are being besieged now because you are weaker and more cowardly than those Southerners?"

Still no one answered.

"What are you talking about?" The second prince was very angry. "Can't you hear me?"

Taner still ignored him and continued, "If you go back like this this time, won't you feel ashamed when you see the knights, nobles, and soldiers from other routes walking through the triumphal avenue of the royal city?"

"Lord Rand is about to arrive here. He will lead you to victory."

Taner then recounted Rand's military exploits, from the Black and Brown City to the Civil War, Rand's personal guards, and later the Brown Moon Deer Raiders.

"Now." Taner swept the second prince, who had been whining, away with his hand, and knocked him down with a huge force. "Those who are willing to support Viscount Rand and want to win under the leadership of Viscount Rand, stand up."

Everyone stood up, even those who were seriously injured and unable to stand stood up with the help of their comrades.
