Chapter 427 The decisive battle of Fort Marsi (2)

  ……………

  At night, the cool breeze blows in the mountain valley south of Marsiburg, and the bushes roar under the mountain wind. From the treetops in the distance, the owl's miserable and shrill cry spread throughout the valley, which was particularly penetrating...

  ………

  "Hey, go see if there is anyone in the grass over there." A soldier said to his companions.

  "Why don't you go? I didn't see you thinking about me when you were reaping the benefits. Now you are bossing me around like a big boss." My partner retorted.

 Two Kodor soldiers who were out patrolling were walking on a mountain trail. A gust of wind made the grass on the roadside hiss, scaring them into thinking they were ambushing enemy soldiers.

"You bastard, just go, whoever is afraid of you." As he said that, the Kodor soldier drew his short sword and walked towards the grass on the roadside, cursing the cowardly guy.

 The guy standing on the roadside saw the other person walking towards the grass, and he took out his dagger and looked around.

 hisssssss...

 "Ah..." With a scream, the Kodor soldier standing on the roadside quickly ran towards his companion who was stabbing him with a short sword by the grass. This cry frightened the brave soldier and turned around quickly to look around.

  "What's wrong?" the soldier beside the grass asked hurriedly.

 "There, there is, there is something..." The guy running over from the roadside was already pale and his speech was unclear.

                                                                                     somewhere

"It's in the grass over there."

 While talking, a mouse ran out of the grass, frightening the two of them and took a few steps back, almost falling into the ditch under the grass behind them.

   "You bastard, a mouse scared you like this, look at your little potential!"

   "What's wrong with me, you are not the same." The timid soldier retorted.

  "Okay, okay, go back by yourself if you have the ability." As he said that, the brave soldier folded his hands on his chest and looked at the other guy with disdain.

  "Go by yourself, go by yourself!" As he said that, the timid soldier walked towards the camp.

  "Hey, hey, wait for me, wait for me..." The bold Kodor soldier ran and chased.

  ………

"Fortunately, the rat ran out and saved our lives. I will never eat rat meat again. It was so dangerous..." A sigh came from the ditch under the grass.

  "As for you, what else can you not eat besides shit?" another person joked.

  "You bastard, what are you talking about!" He said and slapped the other guy on the head, causing the grass to sway from side to side.


 The southern army camp of Kodor. The Viscount, the leader of the southern army in Cordor, paced back and forth in his tent, always feeling that something big was going to happen. After much thought, the leading viscount decided to personally inspect the surrounding posts. He had tried the strength of the Wells Army, and he did not dare to be careless again, otherwise next time it would not be the granary that would be burned down, but his own tent.

  "Let's go with me to check the surrounding area." After saying that, the two soldiers standing outside the camp followed the leading viscount towards the fortress of the surrounding main road.


“Immediately summon all the officers to the command tent for a military meeting.” The leading viscount ordered the soldiers on duty.

  "Yes, Lord Viscount."

   ... 

   "Everyone, the messenger I sent has not returned yet. I have reason to believe that it may have been intercepted and killed by the bastards of the Welsh Army." In the command camp of the southern army in Cordor. The leading viscount analyzed the officers sitting nearby.

 "Yes, it's possible..."

 "Well, yes, those bastards from the Welsh Legion are the most insidious..."

 In the tent, the officers were talking about each other, each with a worried look on his face.

"So, gentlemen, in case something unexpected happens midway, I give an order," the leading viscount said loudly, and all the officers immediately stood up, "the army will set off early tomorrow morning and head to the north to join the army led by the Earl."

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

 ……………

  At this time, in the mountainous and hilly areas to the southwest and east of the Kodor Southern Army, the soldiers of the Sapp Army and the Longxia Army who had ambushed in advance had already sharpened their swords, waiting for the commander's order to rush down to the mountains and hack down the group of Kodor bastards.

 In recent days, I have watched the Kodor people down the mountain drinking heavily and eating large pieces of meat. The aroma of wine and meat wafted over with the mountain wind, causing the Sap soldiers to swallow their saliva while eating hard wheat bread by the stream.

 In the dense forests on the hills, the air is humid and mosquitoes are rampant. Many soldiers were bitten repeatedly by mosquitoes. The most pitiful thing is that he can't light a fire to cook food, so as not to expose his position. Although the conditions were difficult, the soldiers still gritted their teeth and persisted, just to rush down to kill the enemy and meritorious service, share the spoils of the Kodor people at the foot of the mountain, and use the enemy's heads to pave the way for their own promotion...

As the night gets deeper and deeper, there are fewer and fewer people in the open space of the Kodor army camp in the south. Most people have returned to their tents to rest. Only a few guys hid in an unnoticed place and secretly drank, ate meat and gambled on beans behind the commander's back. The guys on patrol could only watch helplessly, because the leading viscount ordered the patrol officers not to drink alcohol, otherwise they would be severely punished. Awed by the Viscount's power, the few people patrolled around the camp honestly.


   "Everyone listen to the order and approach the Kodor camp secretly, wait for the sentry to deal with the enemy sentry and rush down immediately."

   "Yes!"

 “Brothers, the outcome depends on this battle. Those who kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds will be rewarded greatly!” Phoenix encouraged his soldiers.


  "Damn it, it's our turn to be on duty in such a cold weather. It's really unlucky." One of the soldiers crossed his hands and paced back and forth to the other soldier and complained to the other soldier.

  "Yeah, it's pitch black all around, and you don't even know if someone wiped your neck." Another soldier responded in a low voice, looking around.

“You said that we have been here for so many days and nothing has happened. Hey, how about we lie down in the weeds next to me for a while.” One soldier encouraged another guy.

 “Real or false?” another guy expressed doubts.

 "Believe it or not, you have to stand, I'm going to lie down for a while." The soldier said and walked towards the grass and lay there happily.

  "Hey, you... forget it, it's no use if you don't lie down." The soldier said to himself. After saying that, he glanced at the dark surroundings, then fell down in the grass and fell asleep.

  ………

“You two, come on!” Phoenix, who had already stepped closer to the southern camp of Kodor and was hiding in a ditch next to the grass, said softly to the sentinel beside him.

 "Yes!" The two slowed down and walked step by step towards the two sleeping Kodor soldiers.

  The Kodor soldier who was the first to lie in the haystack was snoring at this time, muttering something with a chin in the corner of his mouth... Suddenly there was a slight chill on his neck, and the Kodor soldier opened his eyes. In an instant, his mouth was covered from behind and he could not move. A sharp blade slashed across his throat, and hot blood suddenly flowed down the Kodor soldier's neck and into his armor...

                                                    loguedie                                                            loguedielves in the woods , since he felt like his chest was pierced by something sharp, he struggled and fell into the grass.

                                                                                                      ulating her in ining in the grass to the tune of two birds, more than 350 soldiers who have long been hiding in the grass have rushed to the south gate of the Kodor army camp in less than a mouthful of food.

 "Who?" As soon as the soldier on duty at the gate of the camp shouted, his throat was pierced by a sharp arrow flying in the dark night, and he fell to the ground.

 When another soldier saw this, he immediately shouted loudly: "The enemy... the enemy is attacking!" He ran towards the camp. After running a few dozen steps, an ax flew from behind and landed on the heels of the Kodor soldiers.

 "Ah!" accompanied by a scream. The Kodor soldier fell to the ground, looked back at the dozens of people who had already rushed in, and crawled inside with all his strength.

 Phoenix took a few steps forward. Ended the soldier's life.

 In an instant, the army camp in the south of Kodor was in panic. When the bell on the observation tower set up in the middle of the camp rang, the sleeping Kodor soldiers were immediately awakened and scrambled. Just as they were looking for their weapons in the dimly lit camp, the sounds of swords cutting bones, accompanied by screams and warm liquid splashing everywhere, filled the entire southern Kodor military camp...

Multiple tents caught fire instantly, and some unresponsive soldiers dragged their burning bodies and struggled desperately to crawl towards the outside of the camp door. Their bodies were stepped on again and again by other soldiers who were busy running for their lives, and no one stopped to put out the fire on their bodies. Just like this, slowly, the corpses exuded the smell of burning, and the smell of death filled the entire camp...

“Brothers, kill all these Kodor bastards!” Phoenix, who had just cut off the head of a Kodor soldier, shouted to the jealous Sap soldiers.


  "Quick! Quick! Stop them, stop them!" The Viscount, the leader of the southern army of Codor, who was holding a broadsword in one hand and pointing at the charging Welsh Army with the other, ordered to the soldiers around him.
