Chapter 711 Follow the crowd

Eight days later, on the eighteenth day of the siege of Soller City, Irus decided to send adventurers out of the city for a night attack to test the enemy's alertness.

In the morning, dark clouds gathered, and more than two thousand adventurers and mercenaries gathered on the military camp grounds.

The deputy general of the Tenth Army, Gref, climbed onto the high platform, looked at the noisy scene below, frowned, and waved to signal the officers.

"quiet."

The sound of weapons beating made the adventurers dare not talk loudly.

Gref put his hands behind his back and said: "The Ability God army has been besieging it for more than half a month, but under the leadership of Marquis Irus, Soler City is still indestructible."

"In three days, some of you will leave the city and raid the Ability God's army."

"One enemy head is worth five gold coins."

"Whoever kills a hundred people will be awarded the title of Baron."

"Capture the enemy's middle-level generals and receive titles..."

Thousands of adventurers and mercenaries supported Gref on the stage, their eyes gleaming, wishing they could leave the city immediately, harvest the enemy troops, get the coveted title, become a high-ranking noble, and let their surname be passed down forever.

"In the afternoon, any warriors who want to participate in the operation can go to the west side of the military camp to sign up."

After finishing speaking, Gref left here with his personal guards and went to inspect the city defense.

On the school grounds, a large number of adventurers gathered together, chatting loudly and showing off their past achievements.

In the corner, the black-haired boy and the silver-haired girl leaned against the wooden fence, watching most of the adventurers fall into a state of frenzy, but their hearts were as calm as water.

There are only about a hundred adventurers who remain as calm as the brothers and sisters, and most of them are loners or people with eccentric personalities.

"Brother, are we going?" The silver-haired girl held the black-haired boy's right hand and asked softly.

The black-haired boy shook his head and said: "No, those nobles can offer such good conditions, which shows that this operation is extremely dangerous, and there may be very few people who come back alive."

"I see."

In the afternoon, a large number of adventurers headed towards the registration point on the west side of the military camp.

In order not to appear unconventional, the black-haired boy and his sister followed the crowd to the registration point, but they only wandered on the edge and had no idea of ​​going further.

As dusk approached, a thousand places were filled.

The two brothers and sister mixed in the crowd and returned to the camp.

Outside the military camp, the officer summarized the collected information and strode towards Gref's camp.

"General, this is the list of passive and negligent people. Please take a look at it." The officer entered the camp and handed the list to the low table.

Gref picked up the list, flipped through it briefly, and looked at the last number on the list, one hundred and eighty-three.

"Look for a reason and get rid of these restless elements."

"Yes, General."

After the officers retreated, Gref took out the Soler City defense map, reviewed the last siege for the thirteenth time, summed up experience, and deployed targeted defense settings.

…

Three days later, at night, more than a thousand adventurers and mercenaries left in batches from the East City Gate and South City Gate, heading towards the barracks of the 15th Army's Black Rock Army and Thousand Castles Army.

In the middle of the night, Gref stood on the city wall, looking at the fire in the distance, and his heart was filled with confusion.

Regardless of success or failure, the Tenth Legion will not lose.

In the Qianbao Army barracks, more than 500 adventurers who entered the camp were surrounded by a battalion of soldiers.

Compared with adventurers and mercenaries who fight independently, the soldiers of Qianbao who cooperate with each other are more powerful and constantly harvest the lives of adventurers and mercenaries.

In the chaos, the blood of adventurers and mercenaries stained the ground red, screams occurred one after another, and the shouts of killing filled the entire camp.

Within two hours, the cries of killing gradually subsided, and the camp was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The commander of the Thousand Forts Army, Fruman, came to the battlefield with the support of a group of personal guards.

"General Fruman, these are prisoners. Should they be beheaded on the spot, or sent to the Badako Army." The commander of the Sixth Battalion of the Qianbao Army stepped forward, saluted, and asked.

Fruman looked at the more than two hundred people and ordered: "Behead all the seriously injured, and send the others to the Badako Army camp and hand them over to General Mikoyan."

"Yes, General Fruman."

With the sound of swords chopping, more than fifty adventurers and mercenaries were beheaded. The other prisoners had their hands tied behind their backs. Under the care of a squadron of soldiers, they headed to the Badako military camp ten kilometers away from here.

After a period of commotion, the peace and tranquility of the past returned to the outside of Soller City.

"Let's go."

The four officers standing behind Gref looked at each other, then silently followed their leader and left the city wall.

In the early morning, the black-haired boy slowly opened his eyes, looked at his drooling sister, shook his head helplessly, gently took his sister's arm away from him, and then walked out of the tent.

As time went by, more and more adventurers and mercenaries walked out of the camp, their faces a little heavy, and the entire camp lost the hustle and bustle of the past.

"It seems that those thousand people are gone."

"Idiots who have the life to take the money but not the life to spend it. Those troops don't dare to go out. There are actually idiots who think they can do it."

Hearing the conversation not far away, the expression on the black-haired boy's face did not change. He stood silently and listened to the discussions of those people. There was a kind of calmness in his eyes, as if he was not concerned about such a result. Accident.

…

On April 28, 9755 in the Glorious Calendar, Soller City was besieged for thirty-six days.

In the Battle of Banlev, the 18th Army had 80,000 troops, Hebrew had 20,000 troops, and the Blood Moon Army's Vitris Camp had more than 4,000 troops. Together, they totaled more than 100,000 troops.

The joint army, led by Vitris, defeated the Ninth Legion of the Western Expeditionary Army of the German Kingdom head-on, killing more than 50,000 enemy troops and capturing more than 200,000. From the commander of the Ninth Legion to the two low-level warriors of the Holy Seal, six warriors of the Nine Seals, and twenty-seven warriors of the Eighth Seal and the Seventh Seal, all became part of the expeditionary army's merit evaluation.

On May 8, the southeastern province of the Northern Xia region, Vasa Province, fell, and the 60,000 German Kingdom troops were completely destroyed, becoming an insignificant number in the Blood Moon Count's merit book.

On May 13, the entire Babel region fell. The commander of the Fourth Legion, Marquis Copperfield Rotend, publicly executed five holy seal professionals from the Seventh and Sixth Legions of the German Kingdom's Western Expedition Army in the capital of the Babel region, East Lex City. Their bodies were burned to ashes by the flames, and their souls were completely purified by the church priests.

On May 21, the commander of the Eighth Legion of the German Kingdom's Western Expedition Army, Dobick, led his troops to surrender. A large part of the more than 100,000 troops were dismissed, and the remaining professionals were incorporated into the vassal army under the command of Count Blood Moon to serve as the vanguard of the attack on the Yashansong region.

On May 25, Soller City was besieged for 63 days. Weilin looked at the 30,000 troops brought back by Hebrew, plus the arrival of his uncle, and prepared to attack Soller City for the second time.
