The war between Roland and the Baron Donte was in full swing, although the army led by Siegfried had the upper hand in morale.

But the enemy's stubborn resistance also made them feel very difficult, after all, their numbers were twice as many as on their own.

All the soldiers are under tremendous pressure.

On the other side, a scout cavalry hurried back from outside the pass at Barea Pass, riding a horse with a token and rushed straight into Atum's house.

"Emergency military intelligence! Emergency military intelligence! Emergency military intelligence! Get out of everyone! Get out of it!"

He raised the token in his hand and yelled. The horse under his crotch just arrived outside Atum's house and fell to the ground, spitting foam. The long gallop caused it to be unable to support it.

Even if he could save his life, he would have to spend the rest of his life in the stables. This war horse was already dead.

Atum’s guards took a closer look and found that it was indeed Lord Atum’s token, and it was not easy to stop this person immediately, and one after another gave way.

Atum inside had already heard the movement outside and walked out of his room.

He already guessed what it was.

"Don't panic, speak slowly." He looked at the dusty and tired scout with red eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord."

The scout cavalry eased his emotions, and then said in a deep voice, "My lord, the enemy has arrived less than a hundred miles south of the Barea Pass, and they will be under the Barea Pass the next morning at the latest."

"How about the quantity?"

Atum narrowed his eyes and asked solemnly that the number of troops they invaded this time must not be less.

"The subordinates are incompetent and dare not approach the enemy's army, but roughly estimated to be no less than 40,000!"

The scout answered.

Because the enemy’s army had cavalry clearing the way, and there were an unknown number of scouts patrolling nearby, their scout cavalry at the Barea Pass did not dare to approach them at all, and could only observe from a distance to get a rough estimate.

Atum took a deep breath when he heard the words. Although he had already guessed, he was still shocked when he heard the number.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and said to the scout: "Thanks for your hard work, go get a bounty, and then go back and rest."

"Thank your lord!"

After the scouts left, Atum stood there thinking for a while, only relying on the Baria Pass, these thousands of soldiers, to block an army that was several times his own, was still very strenuous.

Basically, he can already be sure that if he only relies on his own army to defend the Barria Pass, the result is probably like the result of Cecil's match against himself.

"Notify all the high-ranking generals in the pass and gather in the chamber in half an hour."

He raised his head and said to the guard on the side that he couldn't figure out a way at this time, so he could only turn to his colleagues for help.

Especially the leader of Ani from the province of Lucca, Atum has always felt that this young general with a low official position is a little unfathomable.

The scout said that the enemy army would arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, but in fact Earl Hicks took his army to the Barea Pass in the next afternoon, less than five miles away from the Barea Pass. The place is camped out.

The so charming Heidi put on a piece of armor and stood beside him at this time, but even if she put on the armor, she had to show her figure.

After putting on a piece of light armor, the hot figure with the front convexity and the back warping looks even more attractive.

"My lord, with the height of the wall of this pass, I think we will be able to break it in a day."

Her soft boneless body lightly pressed against Count Hicks' arm, but both of them were wearing armor and couldn't feel anything.

"It's easy to attack and hard to defend. His Royal Highness left me with a big problem." Hicks gloomy eyes scanned the Barea Pass, which was shrouded in smoke and dust in the distance, and said calmly.

"Yeah, it won't be too difficult to break through this pass. It's rare to defend it until the follow-up reinforcements arrive."

Heidi nodded in agreement. In order to prevent Hicks from advancing, the lone army was deeply encircled and suppressed by Jason. He ordered to die. After breaking through the Barria Pass, he must stay here and wait for the upcoming ones. The arrival of the Third Heavy Armored Corps and other local armies.

Otherwise, Hicks might really bring his own army of fifty thousand to sweep the three northern provinces mightily, even if he adds another province of Zhelun, he is sure to defeat them in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that his Highness really made some fuss, which in his opinion is such a thing.

"Why don't I sneak in and kill that Atum tonight, so that this pass won't be broken without attack?"

Heidi's eyes rolled, although she was only in the realm of a knight, but she was very confident in her stealth assassination technique.

"no!"

Hicks immediately rejected her proposal without hesitation~lightnovelpub.net~ Although this plan is indeed tempting, they are not clear about the situation in the Barea Pass.

"I absolutely disagree!" After saying that he emphasized again.

"Order the whole army to rest, and immediately launch an attack on the Barea Pass tomorrow morning. Let the group of slaves eat something tonight."

Then Earl Hicks turned his head and left, without giving Hetty a chance to continue to persuade him.

"They will thank you for your kindness." The guard immediately offered a flattery.

"kindness?"

Count Hicks sneered: "Gold bars and they might thank me for my kindness, but I think of tomorrow they won't feel that way."

Because of a siege, fewer than 400 of these four thousand slaves can survive, but in order to be able to escape the status of slavery, they will definitely not mind using them as cannon fodder.

Heidi behind him also followed him step by step, but did not mention the previous topic again. Seeing the tone of his answer just now, she knew Hicks would not agree, but she was quite happy.

Compared to the chaos in the north, the Marquis of Asa had less concerns, because he was already standing on the walls of the Rose Dragon Fortress.

After a whole night of raids and siege of the city last night, the defending generals of the Rose Dragon Fortress finally surrendered to him this afternoon.

A total of 3,000 soldiers were gathered by him, and they might be broken up and integrated into their own army in the future.

"Master Marquis, this is the report from the north."

At this time, the Marquis of Asa was leaning on his spear against the wall while resting while watching the sunset. A man handed him a scroll of animal skins.
