Chapter 846: There should be thunderous cheers!
The pure cavalry troops marched very fast, starting from September 10th, in less than 20 days, on September 28th, the troops had reached the eastern border of the Terrera Kingdom.
That was the border between the Duchy of Hallett and the Everglades, and the base camp for the operation.
Since it was canonized in the eastern part of the kingdom more than five hundred years ago, the Hallett family has been tirelessly attacking eastward and attacking the Great Swamp. They cut down forests, filled swamps, wiped out local monsters and inhabitants, laid down fences in areas suitable for garrison, established camps, and encroached on piece after piece of territory.
In five hundred years, the Earl of Hallett became the Marquis of Hallett, and then became the Duke of Hallett, the territory continued to expand, and the strength continued to grow.
Of course, they also paid a huge price for it. About half of the patriarchs of the Hallett family in the past have died. Especially those "Harrets" in the early stage, almost none of them can get a good death. Either in battle or in the revenge assassination of the swamp dwellers. Even the Duke of Harret of the previous generation was seriously injured in the revenge assassination of the swamp residents, and he retired only before the age of sixty. In terms of his strength before the injury, this age should actually be considered prime. Woolen cloth.
When it comes to being good at fighting against the swamp residents, the Hallett family is the second, and no one in the entire Terrera Kingdom dares to be the first!
After resting for three days in a camp called "Grey Mound Village", the army was dispatched again to the depths of the Great Swamp.
They timed it well, and it was now the harvest season for the core crops of the Everglades. Those wild monsters don't matter, but all the larger settlements should be busy with the autumn harvest.
Taking advantage of this time to fight over, even if the swamp residents found the enemy, it was too late to support each other.
"The more I think about it, the more I think this battle plan is really brilliant!" Andrei said to Singold when he was camping at night, "The person who proposed this plan was definitely a genius!"
Singold sighed, smiled reluctantly, and said nothing.
(Is it a genius who came up with this plan? I don’t know. But I know that it must be a stupid person who implements this plan, a stupid person who can’t be more stupid! Now is the time when food is the most abundant, and the swamp residents can easily gather a large number of monsters And since the death of the green dragon "Kamara III", Euler the "Blood Axe" has been connecting the various clans in the Great Swamp all these years, and has the posture of building a nation-now running to fight the Great Swamp, it is like turning his head to him. hit the axe!)
Of course, he also knew that his ideas were a bit biased. "Blood Axe" is unlikely to make a move for a little friction at the border. This time, the strategic plan was only to occupy a territory equivalent to a viscount. This level of battle has happened many times in the past years, and it should not provoke a large-scale counterattack from the swamp residents-I believe that the reason why the old men in the Royal Capital approved this battle plan is very important. This is the reason.
But he knew that this time the invaders would encounter a more terrifying enemy than the previous battles.
Looking at Andre's confident look, he wanted to persuade him a few words, but he swallowed the words when they reached his lips.
He must keep it a secret! If the secret is leaked, it may be more troublesome...
The next day, the army moved on.
Although the young nobles were confident, they did not dare to act rashly in the Great Swamp—even if they did not know the danger of the Great Swamp, the veterans who followed them knew it. There are dangers everywhere, and even if there is no fighting, there are many dangers that can easily kill people.
When we set up camp that night, we counted the number of people and lost twenty people.
None of the twenty were killed by the swamp dwellers, either poisoned or mired in a bottomless quagmire.
Of course, these people who died were all ordinary soldiers, not a single nobleman. Young masters with noble status will not lead the expedition team!
But it was on this night that Singold received a message from the Inhumans.
[Start tomorrow, if you want to protect someone, be prepared. 】
He looked at the handwriting that suddenly appeared in the water basin in front of him, was silent for a while, nodded, and stretched out his hand to disperse the handwriting in the water.
When he was camping the next day, he invited Andre and a few well-connected noble children to have dinner together in the central army tent.
There is no "no drinking in the army" rule in Xilu, but Singold has always not allowed drinking in the army - he is afraid of drinking alcohol and making mistakes.
The same is true today. Although he is the host, he should serve guests with wine and food, but the drinks on the table are only water and juice.
Of course, Andre and others knew about his stubbornness. They had no objection and still ate and drank happily.
"You're finally cheerful!" Andrei said happily, "I'll just say, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Yeah, the enemies are just a bunch of beasts! Those really powerful guys should be busy harvesting."
"When they have finished harvesting, we should have already set up the camp. By then, we will hide in the camp. No matter how powerful they are, they can't do anything about us."
"I never thought that the battle can still be fought like this! It's so easy!"
"I want to fight this kind of battle a hundred times!"
Seeing them so relaxed and happy, Singold couldn't help laughing. Just thinking of what will happen later, his smile is still a little reluctant.
Just when it was relaxing in the barracks, in the sky far above them, a dark cloud was floating quietly.
Count Locke Dracula didn't have the slightest sense of mutual assistance, and stared coldly at the barracks below with malice in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand towards the barracks, and a sound of sword cries echoed around.
"Calm down! Calm down!" Panda hurriedly stopped him, "What are you doing?"
"Rush in and kill these invaders without leaving behind!"
"That won't work! That's not the plan!" Fenghuang said, "We have to act according to the plan!"
"Anyway, it's just to make them panic and flee. What's the difference between a demon king's attack and a monster's attack?"
"Even if you can kill them all, the traces on the corpses will be recognized!" Panda emphasized, "Anyway, they will be beaten to pieces by the monsters, so why do you expose yourself?"
Locke hesitated for a while before sighing, looking regretful.
Panda finally breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at Wang Tuhao next to him.
[Panda: Why did you drag Locke along? Don't you know this guy's temper? 】
[Nabiling: It's interesting, isn't it? And if something goes wrong, he and Taiyi, the two fastest, can split up, and it's easier to kill someone...]
Panda looked at the murderous Locke beside him, and then looked at the corner of the "spaceship" not far away, sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, the sword light flashing around him was too easy, he couldn't help sighing deeply.
At this moment, a black light like a curtain appeared not far away, and beyond the light, a chaotic and violent breath poured out like a tide.
In the chat channel, Alice in charge of the project announced excitedly:
[Puppet dramatist: Cheers! Give it a round of applause! There should be thunderous cheers! 】
