Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 8. Jackson Canyon (2)

The war between the three kingdoms aroused the Gronis Empire. Just in time, the Emperor who removed the Duke of Lowdis and forged the imperial kingdom took part in a long-risk Northern Blissen Tribal Conquest.

And while the Empire's gaze has been set to the north, the Republic of Morellia has stepped forward to conquer the Kingdom of Kelven, which has been put on hold for many years.

Other than that, the Kingdom of Cheslonia and the Kingdom of Stanen are not at war yet, but are making efforts to take advantage of the atmosphere.

And it was in the mountains of Acronia, where the second war took place.

Unlike rumors of peace, Luo Kingdom's attack was formidable. However, the Kingdom of Bren was also anticipating this and was able to respond without embarrassment.

The king then ordered the occupation of the Acronian Mountains in the natural order. In doing so, the Kingdom of Bren was at war with two countries facing the border.

And it was the tenth night that Lycaen hid in the mountains.

The "son of a bitch" that Lycaen and Caith are cursing at is the Marquis of the Southern Army Commander Holtz.

It happened this afternoon.

In the Acronia Mountains, there are three paths between the Bren Empire Army and the Ruo Empire garrison. There were far more paths than that, as massive as the mountain range, but there were only three roads wide enough for many troops to move.

Today, there was a battle to take control of the most easterly route. In the middle of the eastern route there was a valley area called Jackson Canyon, which was a topographically important place to defend against enemy attacks just by guarding the entrance.

The forces of Lycaen and Caith were brought to the forefront of a battle to retake Jackson Canyon. Of course, the reason they took over the battalion was because the two of them were driven by the vengeful Lord Holtz.

In fact, the effort to take this canyon should have already begun. However, the late Earl Holtz was delayed when he opposed the tactics of the late Robyn.

Further down, the plot of Earl Holtz was to push the general commander, Earl Robyn, out and take control of the war. That's why the Marquis of Robin's work was unconditional, taking the unreasonable reasoning of advice.

Then things didn't go well, and Bren's army had no choice but to spend the rest of their time in peace. Then what Earl Holtz demanded was the vanguard of Earl Frost and Earl Gronst.

The Confederate Army made such a request despite the fact that there was a well-trained garrison.

Not only the Marquis of Robyn, but Lycaen and Caith were gathering their thoughts that they should take Jackson Canyon as soon as possible, so they decided to take the lead.

Thus, Earl Frost and Earl Gronst and two armies stood at the forefront to attack, followed by Earl Holtz through the southern armies of 10,000.

It was a moment when Lycaen and Caith entered the canyon as the vanguard and pushed their enemies into the canyon. Suddenly, Luo Kingdom troops emerge from the top left and right of the canyon. He was trapped in a narrow canyon and had to be attacked from above.

Lycaen, who decided he needed to retreat momentarily, signaled in a loud drum and stepped into a retreat operation. But even before the drum rolls, Earl Holtz is leading his army out of the canyon.

Retreat was not just about turning and running. If you do, you will catch up with the enemy and end up with a lot of damage.

Taking a step back slowly after taking an attack will reduce the damage to a successful retreat. However, Lord Holtz completely ignored that and abandoned his allies to escape.

This puts Lycaen, Caith and their armies at risk of being surrounded and blocked by the Luo imperial forces in Jackson Canyon.

The actions of Yulia and her archers have largely stopped the attack on the canyon, but the base of the Luo Kingdom has already bypassed the narrow roads and blocked the back exit.

It was only a matter of time before Lycaen and Caith met.

Before the rear exit is completely blocked, and before the enemy comes through the front, we have to leave the canyon. However, I could not satisfy two conditions at the same time.

The only way out was through the back exit while some remained guarding the front exit.

So the people who were supposed to stay were Lycaen, Caith, and the knights who are with them now.

It was never common sense for the lord to stay for the soldiers and guard the road, but it was inevitable that they were the only ones skilled enough to block the entrance and buy enough time to escape.

As a result, everyone suffered big and small injuries, and Caith suffered serious injuries piercing the sides of the window.

Even the masters' horrific tapping skills led the Luo Kingdom troops to escape the ravine in a frenzied gap, and they moved toward no enemy, regardless of direction, and are now hiding in plain sight from their original location.

“Maybe he was after this from the start. ”

Caith frowns and says. When Lycaen saw that, she smiled and replied.

“Maybe I was. But it didn't work out the way he wanted. ”

Under the circumstances, it was clear that Earl Holtz had intended the annihilation of both Earl Frost and Earl Gronst. However, since most of the troops retreated safely and they survived like this, it was clear that Earl Holtz had not fulfilled his original goal.

Of course, that doesn't make me feel good right now. Caith frowns, making an even bigger impression.

“That would be nice. ”

“Khh, wouldn't that be good? I'm wondering how I can repay you now. I heard rumors about how well you repaid me. ”

“Huh? Is there any good way? ”

“If I did, I would've told you already. ”

“Tsk!”

Caith turns his head. And Lycaen, with his chin tucked, thought alone.

Lycaen, who was sitting motionless for a long time, turns his head toward Caith.

“But how long do you think you can hold out? ”

“I don't know?”

“Hmm……. ”

Lycaen glances at Caith's wounds that are still bleeding. Caith smiles, smiling at Lycaen.

“What are you worried about? How do you think I'm gonna wound up like this? ”

“As long as you're not immortal.... ”

“What if I do?”

“Die.”

“Son of a bitch! You're so smooth. ”

“So let's start with the treatment. ”

“Huh? You know how to do that? No, but how are we supposed to treat him here? ”

“There are surprisingly many things in the mountains that help the human body. ”

After a long time on the battlefield, injuries will inevitably be frequent. Frequent injuries on the battlefield were also a process of acquiring profound knowledge of the wounds caused by the blade.

And the other weapon that Lycaen has is the memory of the past. Before him, Lycaen had a lot of knowledge in his head, including treatments and herbs.

But Caith shakes his hand.

“Hey, let's think about going back first. I'm gonna kick that son of a bitch's ass when we get back. ”

“Khh, can you hit me? ”

However, the opponent is the Marquis. But he said with a serious look, as if he didn't intend to bend his will.

“What are you going to do if you take him blindfolded and beat him? ”

“Hehe!”

Lycaen forcefully swallowed a smile that burst out of my mind. He was quite interesting at first, but as time went by, he didn't seem to get tired of seeing a different look.

“Well, that's the thing... ”

Lycaen tries to say something, but Caith cuts him off again.

“Ah, let's go back. First we figure out where we are, then we steer clear. ”

I ran distracted, and I couldn't get in the right direction. And then it was night, and it was only now that I reached this narrow basin.

Lycaen answered primarily.

“Huh? Don't you know where I am? ”

“Well, aren't you? ”

“Boren Basin. ”

“Huh?"

Caith stares at Lycaen dazed. Caith is not the only one. The Knights, including Wolf and Dunbane, have both opened their eyes and looked at Lycaen.

I'm surprised that they can't tell where they are right now with their faces that they are too obvious.

Caith asked with a trembling voice.

“How do you know that? Do you have a map?”

Lycaen taps his head with his fingers.

“Here.”

“What? You're memorizing it?! ”

Caith screams with a weary expression. But it was very natural for Lycaen. It was one of the long-standing customs of Zhang Yun's past life to be familiar with the map of his or her operational area or surrounding area around his or her encampment.

“Don't double check it. ”

“Oh, yeah…. Well, that's better, then. I know the way, so it should be easy to get back. ”
