"Unless those people in Command have gone crazy, they would never make such a crazy decision. Mo Gao shook his head suspiciously, he knew better than anyone that there could be humans leading orcs in the kingdom's army, but there would be no orcs leading humans, at least for the time being.

Wolf Ma smiled noncommittally, he met Mo Gao's gaze, and saw that most of the clansmen were subconsciously surrounding Mo Gao, and suddenly felt that he was really a failure.

"I'm going to get some fruit wine, do you want to go with me?" Wolfma picked up the empty leather bag, retracted the dagger into the sword pouch at his waist, and picked up his great axe to make a gesture towards the storage area.

"I still have. Mo Gao shook his head and refused Wolf Ma's invitation, because his fruit wine was available in limited quantities every day, and Wolf Ma didn't know about it.

...

A large and wide area outside the material area was lit up and overcrowded at the moment, and the middle-level officers of the First and Third Armies, except those on duty at the front, basically gathered here, and they were divided into countless small circles to discuss their little secrets.

When Wolfma stepped into the area, his tall figure immediately attracted the attention of most of the officers.

Feeling the gaze of the multitude, feeling their hostile, doubtful, or inquiring gazes, Wolf Ma instinctively wanted to turn away immediately, but his strong self-esteem made him extinguish this thought.

"Sir Wolfma!"

A familiar voice came from the side, and Wolf Ma subconsciously looked up, it was Baron Brooke Manhey, the chief of staff of the First Army, a middle-aged nobleman who always maintained his vigorous energy, and walked forward briskly as he spoke, patting Wolf Ma's shoulder with his broad palm.

When the surrounding officers heard Brooke's name, they all subconsciously looked at the family crest on the neckline, chest, and cuffs of Wolf Ma, which were almost worn out. The next moment, all their inquiring eyes were retracted.

"I'll get some cider. Wolfma held up the empty sac in his hand.

"I've got some ale here, why don't you come and have some?" Brooke didn't seem to care about the identity of the wolf-mar orc, and he invited the wolf-mar with a friendly chuckle.

"I didn't..."

"Of course you are qualified, the wine of the kingdom is for heroes. Brooke tugged at Wolfmar's arm.

Wolf Ma wanted to refuse, but he suddenly thought of what Mo Gao had just said, and the words of refusal turned into words on his lips again, "Although I am not a hero yet, no one can refuse the temptation of plateau ale." ”

"Haha... I like your honesty. Brooke laughed and led the way.

The place where Brooke took Wolf Mar was a relatively isolated area, and there was even a specially set up dining tent with a wine rack next to it, which served not only ale, but also jerky and red wine, as well as fresh fruit from the city of Iruk.

"Taste this. Brooke motioned to a knight next to the barrel for two glasses, and someone else handed him and Wolfmar two glasses of fresh ale.

"Grunt" Brooke tilted his head and drank the ale from his glass.

The orcs will not lose to anyone when it comes to drinking, and Wolf Mar also raised her glass and drank it when Brooke gulped it.

"Well, I heard that this is this kind of wine, even His Majesty likes it," Brooke smiled heartily, "However, we can't enjoy His Majesty's pure highland ale, but I believe it should taste similar." ”

"For me, this is a rare good wine, we orcs are so poor, we can't even eat bread, let alone make wine. Wolf Ma deliberately showed the demeanor of a countryman, because he knew that he was weak now, and the weak must know how to show weakness.

"But you are now a nobleman of the kingdom. Brooke continued to chuckle, not showing the slightest disdain for Wolf Ma, and when the second glass of wine was served, he changed his words and said, "Do you know why the order was suddenly ordered from above?"

"I've always done what I'm told. ”

"The battle was supposed to end in three days, but it still hasn't been completely won. Brooke sighed, "For this reason, General Lendin-Reagan was removed from the post of commander-in-chief of the front by His Majesty. ”

Wolf Ma naturally knew about this, but he showed a very surprised face.

Brooke looked at Wolf Mar and smiled, "Do you know why General Amos ordered the attack to be postponed?" he asked himself, "Your Majesty has allocated us an entire warehouse of explosives, and the command is going to use explosives to blow up this area, that is... It was no longer our turn to participate in the rest of the war, and the third army was all damn to have taken it. ”

Military merit is even more important than the title of nobility for today's kingdom soldiers, and Brooke's very impolite swear words are also a portrayal of his mood at the moment.

And Wolf Ma could only be silent about this, he waited in silence for the other party to say the real reason for approaching him.

"I heard that you are about to take over the post of secretary general of the King's Office?" Brooke, perhaps seeing that Wolf Ma was not interested in these topics, insisted on asking a more taboo question.

"I haven't been appointed to do that yet. Wolfma looked cautious.

"I have been informed that His Majesty intends to reshuffle the King's Office," Brooke lowered his voice, "I intend to run for the post of Chief of Staff in the King's Office. "Today's appointment and dismissal of Kingdom officials can not only be recommended by the governor, but also can be applied for by themselves, but only if they meet the requirements of the post election.

The rank of Major General Brooke, as well as the status of Chief of Staff of the 1st Infantry Army, was sufficient for him to apply for the post of Chief of Staff in the King's Office.

"It's the first time I've heard of anything like this. Wolf Ma said this half-truth.

Brooke gave Wolfma a serious look, then laughed and pointed to the wine bag around Wolfma's waist, "Aren't you here to get wine?" and then he shouted to the knight next to the barrel, "Fill Sir Wolfma's wine bag with ale." ”

When the sac full of highland ale wine returned to Wolfma's hand, Brooke patted him on the shoulder again, "You can take a stroll here, it's good for you to get to know more people, I have some things now, so I won't accompany you." He smiled apologetically, then beckoned his long-awaited entourage to leave.

Wolfmar looked at Brooke's back, and suddenly felt as if there was a storm brewing within the kingdom, and he was about to join in it.

...

In mid-February, the weather in Elok Collar was gradually warming, and the sun's rays were noticeably more than in the first half of the moon.

Outside the Death Fortress, the corrupted earth is slowly returning to its original state under the repair of the elven rangers and priests, and the dim sky is gradually becoming clearer.

After six days and six nights of bloody fighting between the 1st Infantry Army and the 3rd Mixed Army, the outer defenses of the fortress have been basically breached, and the last towers are left to make the last resistance, but the imaginary victory did not come as expected, because the last resistance of the undead army was much more fierce than expected.

The staff officers of the General Command came to the conclusion by deduction that in the event of a strong attack, at least one corps of soldiers would need to be sacrificed.

To this end, the king ordered explosives to be used to level the area where the undead legions were last resisting.

"Buzz"

At the front of the battlefield, the horn of attack sounded again after a five-hour pause, and the herald's war horse began to roam the battlefield continuously, and the chaotic command and shouting of killing covered the screams of the undead.

"Steady, steady!"

"General Amos's command: No unauthorized advance without an order from the command!"

Strange order!

This is the subconscious thought of all the low-level officers on the front line, after all, the horn has sounded, but they have not been informed of the specific battle plan, and what is even more outrageous is that they are not allowed to advance and kill the enemy.

"Whew... Whew..."

Just when many low-level officers and soldiers were puzzled, there was a sudden whistling sound above their heads, and when they looked up, they saw a rolling stone that covered the sky and the sun, but this time the rolling stone seemed to be a little different.

"Boom"

The violent blasting startled the soldiers who were observing the rolling stones overhead, and before they could react, a series of "boom" sounds began to challenge their hearing limits.

The sound of explosions accompanied by loud firelight illuminated the dimness of the last area of the fortress. When the soldiers' ears were 'buzzing' and ringing in their ears, the towering Tower of Death was also flooded by a torrent of fire that was visible to the naked eye.

"This is the real end of the world, we..." Wolf Ma struggled to open her eyes, looking at the scene that seemed to be the end of the world, and the feeling of Mo Gao next to her came to an abrupt end. It was the heat wave caused by the violent explosion that made Mogao unable to make any sound.

Wolf Ma subconsciously hid behind the shield raised by the warrior beside him, and an unbearable heat accompanied by a wave of air hit his whole body, making sweat oozing from the pores of his body instantly, and an unbearable feeling of prostration and comfort emerged at the same time, making him can't help but want to put down the weapon in his hand and rest.

"Steady!" In the constant tinnitus, Wolf Ma heard a strange but familiar voice, and the next moment the wave of qi that disturbed her body disappeared without a trace, replaced by a warm and comfortable feeling.

Wolfma looked up and saw an incomparably brilliant golden light flickering, and he and the orc warriors beside him were protected by a shield of holy power.

"Open the magic shield on your shield and wait for the wave of air to end. The familiar voice reached Wolfma's ears again, and he looked to the place where the sound had come from, and saw His Majesty the King, surrounded by a group of paladins in the middle.

"The aftermath of the explosion was much more powerful than in my phenomenon. Leah, the king's great magician, carefully recorded what was happening in front of her in her notepad, "Before using this power in the future, it is best to put a magic shield on your soldiers." ”

"Good advice. Pei Di scattered the holy power in his hand, turned his head to look at Wolf Ma and asked loudly, "How is it?

"Of course! The people of the beast god can fight at any time. Wolf Ma replied seriously.

"Good!"

As the two spoke, the powerful aura had subsided, but then there was the smoke and dust that had chosen the sky and the sun, and Pedi looked at the sudden approaching smoke, and immediately put on his helmet and put down his armor, and instructed Leah: "Monitor the evil energy that is approaching nearby." ”

"After the explosion at the beginning..."The staff in Leah's hand kept outlining one circle after another, "The surrounding monitoring devices have lost traces of evil energy at the same time, and even I can only detect a small amount of evil energy inside the tower in front of me at this moment, and it is still fading." ”

"That is to say... The undead legion has been wiped out?" said Willy-Jon with joy in his voice.

Pedi glanced at his captain of the guard, "This explosion cost 10,000 gold coins, and if that's not enough to wipe them out, I should consider closing the lab south of the city." ”

As they spoke, a slight wind came from the side, and the smoke and dust that plagued the troops were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Pedi looked to the side, the banner of the Mage Tower was waving, and a simple wind circle was flashing on the high slopes of the flanks.

"Buzz"

The sound of the horn was heard again, and the herald once again galloped through the army, "Command's order: advance! advance!"

"Follow me. Pedi pointed to Wolfma.

...

On the dark ground, countless fallen wrecks were scattered, and deep pits all over the ground showed that this place had been severely attacked before.

Near the pit, countless charred severed arms and stumps were piled up on top of each other, emitting a disgusting mushy smell, and the last traces of crimson in the sky were gradually dissipating, and countless clouds of smoke and dust were falling on the ground like snowflakes after the breeze, and the whole area of people became gray.

This is the last of the towers of the Death Fortress.

Looking at the ruins blown up by the explosives in front of him, Pei Di subconsciously thought of the seventh block of the royal capital, where the current appearance is not much different from here.

"This kind of destructive power is no less than large-scale composite magic. Leah kept patting the smoke and dust on her notepad with her hand, and the pen in her hand kept recording everything in front of her.

"Magic has a natural advantage, gunpowder plus magic... Maybe it will have a good effect. Leah muttered to herself, writing a little faster than before.

Hearing Leah's words, Pedi couldn't help but take a serious look at his court archmage, then shook his head and continued to walk towards the interior of the ruins. Inside, more of the corpses of the undead were piled up, and Peidi's holy power was also able to detect faint fluctuations in evil energy.

"Be careful, there are still undead alive inside. Leah reminded loudly.

Instead of slowing down, Pedi leaped over the towering obstacle in front of him towards the area where the evil energy was emanating with the help of the Holy Power.

Willy Jon, the captain of the guard, immediately followed with the escort, and Wolf Mar also led the orc troops to follow, Leah frowned and told the rear command what happened here by means of magic transmission, and gave up the plan to continue recording, and arrived at the king's side before anyone else with the help of magic...
