The next day, Lester led the reorganized Noxian levy force to leave Knoll Village and headed north, gradually ascending into the mountains.
The old Noxians and women who never went to the battlefield were eventually left temporarily by Lester in the village of Knoll, including the macabre old woman who made bone balls.
Apart from the five mages of Black Rose, the reorganized Noxian conscripted army totaled more than 300 people, including more than 50 new disabled veterans, 50 Noxian Black Iron Guards, and 35 prisoners of North Norr Village. Twenty-five Noxian cavalrymen, together with more than 150 former Noxian levy soldiers recruited and retained in Noel Village.
The disabled veterans, North Nor Village prisoners and Black Iron Guards were led by Lester himself, while the Noxian cavalry and Noxian levies were led by Ultraman. Of course, whether they were Ultraman or Ultraman's The young Ultramans all know who they should listen to in the end.
After eliminating the old, weak and sick, this war-experienced army gained some iron-blooded momentum and broke away from the category of villagers.
Especially the Noxian Black Guards who wear iron leather armor and hold swords. The carefully selected Black Guards are equipped with the best equipment and have the most momentum. On the contrary, they make Noxus disabled. The veteran was a little unhappy;
Others understood that the Black Iron Guard was obviously regarded as a private army by Lester, but this private army was not something anyone could join if they wanted to.
At the end of the team were the captives from Beinuoer Village, who were wearing tattered cloth armor ripped off the bandits and with small daggers on their waists. They had sullen faces all day long and said nothing.
The strange aura exuded by these prisoners made the Noxian levy troops in front feel numb. They always felt that these resentful guys behind them had been secretly eyeing the back of their necks, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace. .
Under Lester's urging, the Noxian expeditionary force, which had brought enough weapons and dry food, accelerated their march. Fortunately, they had just won a battle and their morale was usable, so there were not many complaints.
After Lester discussed with Ultraman and Meredith, the levy force has been organized into an expeditionary force. The target of the expedition is naturally the Mostak barbarian and Ubol barbarian tribes who are still anxious in Tano Village.
Thanks to the unified spell communication method of the Black Rose Mages, Urza successfully used the crystal ball to contact the Black Rose Mages on the east side of the Gorel Mountains last night. Naturally, Lester contacted Captain Brent.
After knowing that the situation there was not optimistic, Lester made the decision to support Brent, but Lester rejected Brent's request for support from the rear, and instead chose to go south with the Guillotine Robbers. Taking the standard route, they went around to the rear of the barbarian tribes and became a strange army.
After making an agreement to arrive at the rear of the barbarians in one day, Lester and Brent broke off contact. The battlefield was changing rapidly. Talking too much nonsense and making too many agreements had no effect. Instead of making yourself at a loss, it was better to wait for the opportunity. After all, it is not Leicester's duty to support Brent.
…
It's getting late, and the hustle and bustle has gradually faded into silence.
Frightened by the thick evil spirit and the smell of blood, the birds and animals in the two mountains fled away from this uneasy place.
Ten kilometers north of the defense line in Tano Village.
Fur tents were set up with thick wooden sticks. There were bonfires outside the tents and roasted animal meat on the wooden frames.
Barbarian warriors wearing leather battle clothes and holding spears and iron knives stood dutifully outside the camp, looking into the vast night with worried faces.
In the big tent in the center, the expression of Moore, the leader of the Mostak barbarians, was changing.
Two slightly green barbarian beauties stood quietly behind the patriarch Moore, a little shy and silent.
"Lord Patriarch! Lord Uris..."
Before the guard outside the tent finished speaking, a rough voice came from outside the tent.
"Get away!"
Moore returned to indifference and calmness, quickly closed his eyes, and collected his emotions.
Uris overturned the guard and walked directly into the tent. He glanced at the two Mostak beauties and sisters, and then glared at Mor who was sitting on the small bench, with a bit of a sneer on his lips.
"Ha, my good Lord Mor, my soldiers and tribesmen died wailing in the tent. Sir, you are very handsome, enjoying the service of beauties here. Our Ubol clan also has many beauties. Do you want to try too? By the way? Our Ubol clan should just merge with your Mostak clan, since everyone is going to die soon."
When he opened his eyes, Moore was not angry.
"Jiss, go give Lord Ubol a pat on the shoulders and rub your legs. From now on, you can follow Lord Ubol."
"yes."
Under the sentimental gaze of her sister, the Mostak barbarian beauty named Jisi glanced sadly at Mor, who had his back turned to her, and walked slowly to Uris's side.
"Lord Uris, Jisi will be yours from now on, I am still a virgin..."
"Smelly woman, stop talking nonsense!"
Pulling Ji Si directly into his arms, Uris said in a dissatisfied tone while raising and lowering his hands.
"Don't think you can fool them with just one woman. Why is there still no movement from Noxus after so many days of fighting? Where is your bandit army? Those Noxans in Tano Village Why didn’t the Si soldiers return to defense?”
"You ask me, how do I know?"
Moore was also a little dissatisfied, and his tone was a bit more resentful.
"Normally speaking, even if those bandits will not attack the Immortal Fortress, they will still plunder the Noxian villages. As long as Noxus wants to continue to develop, the Noxians will not sit idly by and do nothing. They must Send someone to deal with it,
I learned from the Noxian prisoners through torture that, except for the Noxian army stationed in Nota Village, there are no soldiers in the Immortal Fortress. The remaining ones are the old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are in the field. Hey, there is no way he can be a match for those bandits...
If we want to preserve the development opportunities of Noxus, the Noxian army in Tano Village must withdraw and return to defense, so that we can go south smoothly, and finally join forces with the Beheaded Bandits harassing the rear to besiege the Immortal Fortress. …”
"Hiss..."
Feeling the pain of being pinched, Jisi took a breath and shed tears from the corners of her eyes. She looked at Moir for help, but Moir turned a blind eye, which made Tali behind Moir feel a little chilled.
"That's enough! Stop quibbling! There is no need to continue this war!"
Holding the shoulders of the sobbing Ji Si, Uris turned and walked out.
"The Ubol clan will withdraw its troops tomorrow. This war with Noxus will be fought by whoever the hell wants to fight! I won't accompany you anymore!"
After Uris left, the big tent fell into an eerie silence. Looking at Moll's motionless back, Tali carefully slowed down her breathing, fearing that Moll would notice her...
