MTL - Bloodline Lord of War-Chapter 159 Lauren the Red
Chapter 159 Red-haired Lauren
The combat mission of the forward troops, in layman's terms, is to walk the way for the main force. If a small group of enemies is found, it will be wiped out directly. If a large group of enemies is found, the main force behind will be notified in time.
As the vanguard of an army, although the vanguard walks ahead of the main force, there is a high probability that they will be the first to meet the enemy, so it is definitely more dangerous, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the vanguard is also easy to make the first contribution.
Robin’s purpose is to eliminate the blood race, and he does nothing beside him. It is naturally best to watch the wasteland coalition forces kill the blood race. He is not greedy for military achievements and fame.
But if he needs to contribute, as long as it's not too much, and it's not the kind of death mission, Robin is also obliged. Since he came here with soldiers, he naturally didn't think about staying out of it.
As the vanguard, this task is still within Robin's acceptable range. Therefore, Robin only thought about it for a while before agreeing to Earl Longji's proposal.
"It is my honor to be able to contribute to the Wilderness Alliance Army. I am willing to serve as a forward. However, I only have one hundred soldiers under my command, and the forward force is too small." Robin said with a serious expression.
Seeing that Robin agreed, Gude showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Don't worry about this, I have already discussed it with Baron Lauren of Rock City. He has an army of 900 people under him, and he will also be incorporated into the forward team." , and then you will set off together."
Rock City is also located in the central wasteland. The power of the lord, Baron Lauren, is similar to that of Baron Joseph of the giant wooden castle, and also belongs to the second echelon in the wasteland.
Robin had no objection to Gude's arrangement, so this matter was settled. The Raging Waves Legion will be incorporated into the vanguard, and together with the army of Rock City, they will act as the eyes and ears of the Wilderness Alliance Army and march towards the Blood King City first.
After dinner with Earl Goode, Robin returned to the camp west of the city, called Simon, Luke, and Tess into his tent, and ventilated with them first.
Regarding the matter of serving as a striker, no one has any opinions. Of course, they will fully implement the decision made by the lord.
The next day, Robin woke up early. He usually likes to sleep on a lazy bed when he sleeps at home, but when he goes outside, he can't fall asleep. Sleeping in an unfamiliar place, Robin felt uncomfortable no matter how he slept.
Sitting up from the low wooden bed, Robin scratched his hair sleepily, then turned his head and shouted outside the tent: "Sieman!"
After yelling, a young figure entered the tent immediately. He was wearing a shiny silver armor with a knight's long sword hanging on his waist, and stood squarely in front of Robin.
"What are your orders? Baron."
Seaman of Baron Manu's family, since Robin rescued him from the Gorefiend in Redstone Town last time, he followed Robin back to Raging City, became Robin's personal servant, and was usually responsible for raising Robin. Ma, after the Raging Waves Legion set off, he also went out with the army and was responsible for taking care of Robin's daily life.
Seaman is a handsome guy, and his father is a baron. He has never experienced any hardship since he was a child. In the beginning, he was doing whatever he could, and Robin asked him to raise a horse. As a result, on the first day, he was kicked by a grumpy horse and broke three ribs, and he lay on the bed for almost half a month.
However, people can be trained. Later, when Seaman recovered from his injury, Robin handed him over to Simon for training.
The names Simon and Seaman are pronounced similarly in the imperial language, and they sound like two brothers. Asking Simon to train Seaman, Robin felt a bit predestined.
Iron Bear Warrior doesn’t care if you are the son of a baron or not, you just use the iron-fisted training method of dipping the whip in salt water, and it didn’t take long for Seaman to be disciplined. Finally, he looks like a soldier.
After this period of experience, Seaman has lost his original **** temperament and has become more mature and stable.
"Go, get me a basin of water, my lord is about to wash his face." Robin said, and yawned again.
"Yes, my lord."
Ximan replied neatly, then turned around and walked out of the tent, but as soon as he opened the curtain of the tent, he found a man with a thick back standing outside the curtain.
Simman was startled, took a step back, and asked in surprise, "Who is it!"
The man ignored Seaman at all, strode directly into the tent, and pushed Seaman who was blocking the way in front of him. He was so strong that Seaman was pushed back a few steps by him and almost sat down on the ground.
"You are Baron Robin?" The man stared at Robin who was sitting on the low bed with a pair of bull's eyes like copper bells.
Before Robin could speak, the man began to introduce himself: "I am Baron Lauren of Rock City. I think you have heard my name. This time, you and my army will serve as the leading role in this battle against the blood race." Go ahead."
Baron Lauren looks twenty-eight or nineteen years old. He is very tall, about two meters tall, and a muscular man. He wasn't wearing any armor, and his clothes were all tight, as if he was about to burst from his muscles at any moment.
He has a ferocious face, a big head and a big face, and a head of sparse red hair. I don't know if he has been exercising too much, and he began to show signs of baldness at a young age.
It turned out to be his comrade-in-arms for some time in the future, so Robin stood up and said, "Hi, I'm Baron Robin."
Robin extended his right hand to the other party in a friendly manner, thinking that the two people in the back would not see each other, and did not want to make the relationship too rigid.
But the red-haired Lauren didn't accept Robin's affection at all. He ignored Robin's outstretched right hand and said in a rough voice, "I heard from the Earl that you only have one hundred soldiers under your command?"
"That's right." Robin withdrew his right hand, seeing that the red-haired baron seemed a bit hostile, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Lauren looked up at Robin proudly, with undisguised contempt in her eyes: "Since it was appointed by the Earl, I can't say much, but I can tell you clearly, Robin , I don't like you, your soldiers are too few, and you can't help at all."
"I just came here today to tell you one thing. After leaving Dragon's Back Fort, I will be in charge of the forward team. As long as you don't drag me back, I will guarantee that you can come back alive. However, if you refuse to obey the command, Then don't blame me for being rude, when you are on the battlefield, you can't help fooling around."
Obviously, the red-haired Lauren came to show power to Robin. Seeing that Robin's strength was only one hundred, he thought that Robin was just here to make up the numbers, so he didn't take Robin seriously at all.
Robin suddenly became angry. This early in the morning, before I had time to wash my face, I was scolded by you for no reason. Who do you think you are?
His expression immediately cooled down, and he said: "Baron Lauren, it is enough for you to take care of yourself, I don't need you to command."
Lauren snorted, and said sarcastically: "There are not many soldiers, but the tone is not small. Later on the battlefield, I hope you can still be so stubborn, and don't come to beg me."
After speaking, he turned around and opened the door curtain, and left angrily.
After Lauren left, Seaman said indignantly beside him, "Who is this? He doesn't have the etiquette of an aristocrat at all."
Robin smiled helplessly: "In the future, if you see a lot, you will know that the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. This kind of people are all about strength. If you don't show that you are better than them, they will not Respect yours."
In the next few days, as Earl Goode said before, new nobles arrived at Longji Fort every day, and new troops moved into the camp west of the city every day. At the gate of the camp, people came in and out every day. There was an endless stream of soldiers, and the entire camp gradually became more lively and crowded.
These aristocrats who came to participate in the Wilderness Coalition generally had some strength. Most of them were pioneer lords from the Central and Eastern Wastelands, while Robin was the only one in the Western Wasteland. Among these pioneering lords, Robin is like an alternative.
Different from the eastern and central regions that were first developed, the western wilderness is too barren. Except for the previous Wind Fortress, there is no one who can be ranked first. If Robin hadn't defeated Baron Baron, he would have gained a little fame in the wilderness, otherwise Earl Longji wouldn't have written him a letter.
This wasteland alliance is not something that any pioneer lord can join if he wants to.
Five days later, all the lords finally arrived.
This time the Wilderness Alliance Army, as the largest force, Dragon's Back Fort naturally sent the most troops. Earl Gude sent a total of 5,000 troops, and the other lords added up to 5,000 troops. The total combat strength of the Wasteland Alliance Army was 10,000. In addition to the civilians in charge of logistics, the drivers in charge of driving, and various non-combatants, the number of the entire coalition reached nearly 30,000.
In the wilderness, this is definitely an unrivaled military force. Even if it is placed in the Northern Territory, it is enough to keep many nobles from sleeping at night.
It was the first time that Earl Gudd led such a huge army, and his huge vanity and sense of accomplishment made him feel like he was sitting on a cloud.
Then, Earl Longji held a pre-war meeting.
In the Dragon's Back Fort, in a spacious auditorium, more than 20 pioneer lords who participated in the wasteland coalition gathered together.
There are rows of benches in the auditorium, and the wasteland nobles all tacitly know that the powerful lords sit in the front, and the weak ones sit in the back. Baron Joseph of Giant Wood Castle and Baron Lauren of Rock City, both of them sat in the first row.
Robin came late, seeing that the front was basically full, he chose a seat at the back.
In the entire auditorium, the nobles from the eastern wilderness sat together, and the nobles from the central wilderness sat together. Robin, who came from the western wilderness, was not leaning on either side, and suddenly seemed isolated. He sat alone. In the corner, no other nobles spoke to him.
However, Robin himself felt that it didn't matter. He was not a sociable character, and this time he came here purely to fight the vampires. As long as he could exterminate the vampires, he didn't care about the rest.
Many nobles sat in the auditorium and waited for a while. As the host, Earl Longji arrived late. He walked into the auditorium from the main entrance, and the auditorium, which was still buzzing with people just now, immediately fell silent.
Earl Good was wearing a black armor, with a blood-red cloak behind him, and a knight's sword hanging from his waist. Although his beard was a little gray, he still looked imposing, and his spirit was not inferior to the second one. Ten year old lad.
He strode to the front of the auditorium, turned around and faced the nobles of the wilderness, with a serious expression, and said loudly:
"Dear gentlemen, thank you very much for coming. I don't think there is any need to say more about the purpose of our gathering here today. Next, we will fight against the blood race. Some people may die in the war, but, The people will remember your selflessness and courage, and your bravery and fearlessness will be recorded in history books. Here, on behalf of all the people of the empire living in the wasteland, I would like to thank you all in advance!"
Goode spoke in a cadenced tone, which was very contagious. After finishing speaking, Earl Gude put his right hand on his chest, bent slightly towards all the nobles, and performed a standard noble salute.
"My lord, you don't need to be too polite. We came to join the Wilderness Coalition for our own sake. If we don't get rid of blood, each of us will not have a peaceful life." Baron Joseph stood up and said loudly.
"Yes, we must get rid of the blood race!"
Other nobles immediately followed suit, and the crowd was so excited that everyone wanted to pull out the sword on their waists and immediately smash the evil blood clan into pieces.
Earl Gude straightened up and continued to speak: "Thanks to everyone's love, I was elected as the commander of the Wilderness Coalition Army. This heavy burden is on my shoulders, and I dare not relax for a moment. Please believe that I will definitely lead Let's all go to the final victory!"
While he was speaking, Kleiber and several other servants brought over an oversized map, and they skillfully hung the map on the wall of the auditorium, covering the entire wall directly.
This is a map of the wilderness, which includes almost all the known wildernesses, including the western wilderness. Robin also found his own Raging City on the map.
At the top of the map, between the icons of the two peaks, a very conspicuous red cross is drawn. There is no doubt that that is the location of the Blood King City.
Kleiber gave Earl Goode a long pointer so that he could point to the map and explain the battle plan.
The battle meeting lasted for nearly three hours. There was nothing special about Earl Goode's battle plan. It was just a steady and gradual advance, and the troops would be brought to the city of Blood King first.
For this battle, Earl Goode is imperative. From his speech and behavior, it can be seen that he is full of confidence in himself.
Then, the Wasteland Allied Forces began to make final preparations before the expedition. As Robin is the vanguard, they will walk ahead of the main force and head north first.
Another three days later, when everything was ready, this morning, Robin led the Raging Wave Legion, walked out of the temporary camp in the west of the city with neat steps, and they were about to set off.
The sky suddenly began to drizzle, the sky was overcast and the air was very humid. The autumn rain was icy and cold, flowing in through the gaps in the armor, soaking the clothes inside.
Robin raised his head and looked at the gray sky. The fine rain was piercing his face like needles. He felt that this was not a good weather for going out.
