Chapter 87 Strong Luck

Three days.

From the moment Paratu engineers started shouting their chants while carrying the first pile-driving boat into The Styx to the timber transportation convoy being ambushed, it all happened in less than three days.

Eighty piles were driven into the ground, and less than twenty meters of bridge deck was laid before the White Lion's countermeasures arrived.

The attack on the convoy was like the crack of a starter's pistol, as the Herders' Cavalry dispersed and began their unrelenting assaults on the Paratu lumbering teams.

The Paratu Piaoqi fought nine battles in one day, chasing and clashing with the Herders in a "dog chasing a rabbit" fashion, yet still unable to prevent the enemy from penetrating the coniferous forest.

Winters's team also suffered an ambush.

About two dozen Herder light cavalry, guiding their warhorses, crept toward the logging site, only to run into the scouts Winters had dispatched.
