Lord of the North

Because half of Hicks' reputation is due to the efforts of this woman.

For Earl Hicks Nelson to have such a beautiful and charming partner with rare wrist and strength, it made many aristocratic gentlemen feel envious or even jealous.

These aristocratic lords who have no other hobbies other than fighting for interests and intrigue, are usually idle and moldy, and the women around them have become their objects of showing off.

And this woman is also very considerate and never embarrasses Hicks.

"I'm worried about this war that our Highness launched." Hicks reached out and stroked Heidi's clean thigh with a sad face.

"We brought 50,000 troops to support the Earl of Ika this time, and that man's men are only about 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers. No matter how you look at it, we won't be at a disadvantage, right?"

Hetty chuckled, stretched out her hand to hold Hicks' big hand, and comforted her in a low voice.

"That's right, with an army of 50,000, plus Jalan province and Lord Sandra's backup in White Sword province, we really don't have to be afraid of him, but I don't know why I always feel uncomfortable."

Hicks sighed, and took his hand away from Hetty's lap. Now that he mentioned this matter, he felt as if he had been poured cold water, and his interest was more than half lost.

"..."

Hetty bit her lower lip, and didn't know what to say to comfort him, so she could only look at him with worried eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, but I don't know why I always feel a little uneasy. Maybe it's because the Marquis of Asa put too much pressure on me." Hicks continued.

In fact, when he learned that Phil gave up continuing to attack the Lake province of the Marquis of Asa, and pointed his sword at Jason in the north, his heart was a little broken.

In his opinion, the threat brought to Phil by an underage little prince is far less than that of the Marquis of Asa, even if he has the right to inherit the throne.

Only those who really rose up in the same era as the Marquis of Asa truly understood the horror of that man. All the people of their generation have come to this point under his shadow.

"The Marquis of Asa is indeed a difficult person to deal with, but he is still busy attacking the Kingdom of Suxin. How could he affect the war in the north? You just think too much."

An elusive look flashed in Hetty's eyes, and she continued to comfort her. She had dealt with that Marquis of Asa before. Although this man seemed particularly easy to get along with, he was the most difficult person to deal with.

There is no nobleman in the Lopez Kingdom who does not feel awe of him.

"I'm also worried about His Royal Highness Phil..." Hicks pushed away the people in the carriage, and looked at the gradually opening gate of the Anton Fortress from afar.

"Lord Baron, the mountain road ahead is blocked!"

Baron Dongte led his army has been rushing for several days, and there is not much time to rest every day. This is all to join up with General Panick as soon as possible, and then attack Jason's army back and forth. As long as there is a crisis at the Baria Pass Defeat Jason's army before, then this farce is over.

What he didn't expect was that he chose the road through the mountains to avoid the army sent by Jason to stop him, but he was still blocked halfway.

He ignored the blue eagle flying high in the sky, and the old falconer.

"Order the whole army to stop advancing."

Baron Dongte's face changed drastically, he ordered immediately, and then asked with a gloomy expression, "Have you found any enemies ahead?"

"No."

The scout's face was serious and ugly, which puzzled him the most. Since he has the ability to block their way in the valley against the rocks, why didn't they stay here to ambush them?

The news of the great power of the iron tooth collar's giant catapult has spread in the north. If they assembled a dozen catapults here, the army led by Baron Dongte would have to leave a lot of corpses to pass through.

"Order the army to line up in place, guard the mountains and forests around us, and send out all the scouts!"

Baron Dongte rode on his horse and observed the surrounding sparse forest vigilantly, with his right hand on the hilt of his sword, guarding against backstabbing.

"Master Baron, do you think we have already jumped into their encirclement?" Just as he was quietly observing the surrounding environment, a general came to his side and reminded him in a low voice.

He was afraid that once this guess was heard by others, it would affect the stability of the army. At this time, if there was chaos within the army, it would be a big trouble.

Hearing this, Baron Dongte's forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat. Yes, did he lead the army into the enemy's ambush circle?

"Pass the order, the rear army will become the front army, and the front army will become the rear army. Send someone to order the grain transportation team to turn around and retreat immediately!"

He immediately gave the order very decisively, but immediately changed his order, and shouted with a livid face: "No! Notify the food transport army to line up in place to defend against possible enemies, and send two thousand black armor troops to quickly support and protect , there must be no accidents in the grain and grass!"

Because the food transport army is too slow, it has always been some distance away from the main force, so it is the most vulnerable target in the entire army.

And once they lose this food, it means that the food they carry with them is not enough to support them to rush to General Panik.

"Yes, Lord Baron!" The general who had just reminded Baron Dongte straightened his face immediately, and left in a hurry to give orders.

After he left, Baron Dongte took another look at the road blocked by boulders with an ugly face. It would take a day to clear the road.

He temporarily changed his route to avoid Roland's blocking army, but he was still blocked. Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, his situation is really not optimistic.

On the other hand, his daughter Audrey will also face the biggest crisis in her life in the past 20 years, because Atum, a lunatic, has gathered 8,000 troops in just a few days and is slowly heading towards the Baria pass. advance.

However, it will take about half a month for the reinforcements from China to arrive, and it is not known whether the seemingly incompatible Audrey and Cecil can cooperate for such a long time.

"General Cecil, we are about to face a huge crisis now. I want to know how Atum escaped from the Baria Pass. Does he hold any secrets like secret passages?"

So Audrey came to Cecil's mansion under the protection of several guards. Her pretty face was tense, and she asked straight to the point as soon as they met.
