Black Iron Crown

Chapter 384: Ambush in the dense forest

   The twenty-fifth year of the Empire, September 22.

   Today’s weather is very pitiful to Rainer, it is a rare cloudy day.

   It is very arrogant on weekdays, and the sun that exudes its own powerful heat is also covered by the dark clouds, and no longer obeys the previous arrogance.

   Lena looked at the clouded sky. Although there was a sultry heat before the storm, it was always stronger than being exposed to the sun under the scorching sun.

   But unfortunately, Rainer's heart is not happy about it.

  Because his plan was to burn the enemy’s grain and grass, he was very worried that it would rain when he just set the grain on fire.

   "Be careful with Rainer, if you succeed, you will be the biggest hero! Everyone will cheer for you!" With his worries deep in his heart, Rainer turned his attention to Earl Jolar.

   Count Jolar stood at the gate of the city looking at Rainer, and made an expression that he thought was affectionate, but with his rugged figure and a full-faced beard, it looked so nondescript.

   "Don't worry, I will succeed!" Rainer smiled and waved to Earl Jolar, and at the same time nodded towards the Earl of Bushtown.

   Today is the day of the appointment. In addition to the knights and hussars led by Rainer, the other lords will also lead the army through the city gate to the agreed place in two hours.

   The total number of soldiers on both sides is close to 60,000. Fortunately, this is a plain, otherwise it would not be easy to set up the battle.

   "Master Nayan, the enemy's food and grass are hidden in this small forest. If you didn't ask us to expand the search range, you would really not be able to find it here!" Tillyhan handed the map in his hand to Rainer.

  Leiner took the map and nodded, and said, "Very well, we went into the woods quietly, try not to start the grass and startle the snake!"

   A distance of twenty-seven kilometers, under the condition that Rainer and the soldiers ran wild on marching horses, it would take about three or four hours to reach it.

   After all, the front line still needs to be lined up. It is estimated that it will take a long time for such a large-scale army to be fully in place, not to mention that Rainer has left Kasselenburg early.

Rainer stepped off the horse first, Baron Varas followed behind Rainer with the scarlet griffin knights, and the beneficion knights went alone and did not bring their squires. In addition, there were 120 sergeants. , As well as the horse archer Tillihan brought and his two hundred prairie cavalry.

   A total of more than four hundred and fifty people came to this dense forest in this way.

   Lena looked at the dark clouds in the sky, slightly worried.

   "Don't rain at this time..."

   Over time, Rainer brought this huge team to the outside of this dense forest.

   Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky became more dense, and the insignificant light of the sun finally revealed was completely covered, as if it had entered the night in an instant.

   The violent wind began to roar at this moment, blowing in the woods, making a sound of rustling, and countless leaves flew wildly in the wind.

   The gust of wind whimpered, just like howling ghosts and wolves in the dark night, very terrifying.

   "Oh! Damn! This wind makes our actions more difficult!"

   A knight cursed in a low voice. His burqa had been torn open with a big opening. This was a good thing for the branches that were blown up by the wind.

   "This... there won't be any monsters in this deep forest, right?" Listening to the whimper of the gale beside Renner, a scalp numb and goose bumps were all over the body of a follower.

   In such a dark and windy woods, the young man couldn't help but think of some horror stories he had seen and heard in the past.

   Thinking of those, his stools were horrified, and he felt a chill behind his back.

Baron Varas walked to Renner's side and said, "Lord Earl, we may have to be quicker. If we move fast enough, we can burn the enemy’s grain and grass before it rains. It will take at least an hour depending on the current situation. It will rain!"

   The strong wind almost broke the red feathers on the helmet of Baron Varas, but such a scene did not make him feel scared.

   Demons and monsters are really nothing to him.

  In his world, suppressing the orcs is their daily job, and destroying vampires is an employment task they receive, and removing ghosts is their security activity. Only the crusade against demons requires dangerous actions.

   He has seen scenes that are even more terrifying than before his eyes. I don't know how many scenes he has seen. The tiny dark clouds and gusts can't disturb his state of mind.

   After checking the surrounding environment, after confirming that the granary is not far from here, Reiner said: "Everyone is on the horse! Speed ​​up and rush to the enemy’s granary. Victory and glory will ultimately belong to us!"

   Everyone stepped on their horses, trotting and following behind Rainer towards the granary.

   "Frant, what you said is right, they actually came to attack our granary!" Baron Lindauer squatted on the ground, hiding behind a tree, and said to Frant in surprise.

   The strong wind and the woods concealed their traces, and more than two thousand soldiers and nearly a hundred knights were perfectly hidden in the forest.

   "Get ready, let's set off immediately to encircle the enemy!" Frant's goal is not only to prevent the granary from being attacked, she also intends to keep all the incoming army here.

  Rainer was already a little bit excited at this time, he could already imagine how his reputation would rise after he burned down the enemy's food and grass.

   "The sword of the royal family? The Morand Eagle?" Rainer imagined in his heart what kind of title he would have by then, anyway, he didn't like the title of despicable sneak attacker very much.

Thinking of this, he never thought that there would be another army behind him, battling the idea of ​​annihilating himself here~lightnovelpub.net~Because Reiner was trotting forward on a horse, he and the law Rand's soldiers moved a little apart, but this was exactly what Fran wanted.

After    walked for about ten minutes, Rainer vaguely saw some tall and connected yellow cylinders in front of him.

   This should be the enemy's food, Lena thought in his heart, and shouted at the same time: "Speed ​​up! The enemy's food is ahead! Destroy their weak guards! The glory belongs to us!"

   Rainer shouted, and the soldiers switched from the backs of the marching horses to the war horses, without even slowing down the horses in the middle.

   "Fence?" Reiner looked at the two-meter-high fence that resembled a horse-rejection, subconsciously feeling a little bad, but he didn't take it seriously.

  Because the main enemy forces are all fighting in front of the peaceful rebels, it is impossible for too many soldiers to defend here. Reiner is already cautious with so many knights.

   easily rushed into the fence through a gap, the knights scattered one after another, using long swords and horseshoes to massacre the enemy, and in just a few minutes, the defenders here were swept away.

   Just as Reiner triumphantly ordered the horse archers to take out the flint and start to ignite the enemy's grain and grass, a burst of arrows pierced through the air and screamed into everyone's ears. ...
