Chapter 84: The Military Tent Kills
The Great Tent of the Frost Thunder Legion.
The atmosphere inside the big tent was extremely depressing, and many generals smelled a hint of murder in it.
Grand Duke Palmer suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "This time I convened the generals to discuss the matter to plan the next battle plan of my Frost Thunder Legion. The lion king Elliot led an army of 300,000 orcs to advance step by step, the Wind and Snow Legion has retreated to Red Rock City on all fronts, and the various legions of our human race are also rapidly assembling in Red Rock City. ”
The generals in the tent listened to the Grand Duke's introduction to the current battle situation with their breath.
"This time the two clans are in a big war, and my Frost Thunder Legion must not stay out of it. I plan to send two armies of 40,000 men to pin down the orc troops from the flanks, and find an opportunity to cooperate with Red Rock City to launch an attack, I don't know which general is willing to lead the army to lead the order?"
When the Grand Duke spoke, Aemond, Conrad, and Shino came out almost at the same time, "I am willing to lead the army." ”
Grand Duke Palmer nodded with satisfaction, he naturally wanted to see his son and son-in-law go to the battlefield to fight for military merits, rather than fighting among themselves.
It's just that before the Grand Duke's smile climbed up his cheeks, a person jumped out without long eyes, "Commander Qiqi, although I have not been in the army for a long time, I also know that the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the legion transport convoy has been robbed twice in a row, and the food stored in the army may not be enough to support the 40,000 soldiers to go on the expedition." ”
Grand Duke Palmer stared at Ciro without saying anything.
Shino squinted at Ciro and didn't speak.
The atmosphere in the military tent was a little strange, and Ciro, who did not receive a response, had to bite the bullet and continue: "I suggest that it is not too late to send troops after the grain and grass reserves are sufficient. In addition, the continuous hijacking of transport convoys is also directly related to the ineffective protection of the munitions department, and the relevant personnel should be held accountable for their dereliction of duty in order to set an example. ”
Ciro's fangs were finally revealed.
What General Ciro said is very true, if the army still can't keep up with the military after the army goes out, it will affect the success or failure of the whole battle. "Another general is out of the list, and this man is clearly from Aemond's side.
Since the death of the eldest prince, some generals in the legion have secretly begun to choose sides between the second and third princes, and the number of people on Aemond's side is obviously superior.
Grand Duke Palmer turned his gaze to Shino, "You are now in charge of military logistics, what do you think about this matter?"
Shino smiled slightly, "I haven't been in charge of the quartermaster for a long time, but after I took over, the quartermaster convoy was robbed twice in a row, don't you think it's strange for the Grand Duke and the generals?"
"I hope that General Shino will put the overall situation first and strictly rectify the quartermaster department, instead of making excuses for himself?" said Siro in a weird manner.
"General Ciro is right, there is indeed a need for a severe reorganization of the quartermaster department. I have already found out that the robbery of the quartermaster convoy was due to the internal ghost of the quartermaster department, who was instructed to collude with the orcs to rob the convoy. ”
Shino's words were full of uproar, and the Quartermaster Department actually colluded with the orcs.
"So you've already found out about the robbery of the transport convoy?" the Grand Duke asked with some surprise.
"Exactly, the robbery of the transport convoy was all due to the collusion between Alva, the deputy director of the Quartermaster Department in Twilight, and the orcs to reveal the route of the transport convoy to the orcs. ”
"Bastard! my Frost Thunder Legion has such scum!" the Grand Duke slapped the table angrily, "Where is this person now?"
"Grand Duke Qi, this person has been arrested in Twilight. But the initial interrogation of this person is only a pawn, there is a mastermind behind him, Alva and the shopkeeper of the Xingyuan Merchant House in Twilight City are on the way to the legion, and the Grand Duke will be clear when the interrogation himself will be understood. As he said this, Sino glanced in the direction of Ciro and Aemond, intentionally or not.
"Well, let me know as soon as the sinner arrives, and I'll see who's behind the scenes!" the murderous aura on Grand Duke Palmer could not be concealed.
......
Aemond's tent.
As soon as Aemond took a step forward, Ciro immediately took two steps back, and the last kick made him unforgettable.
Aemond Spitfire's gaze stared at Ciro, "I won't hit you again, I want to kill you bastard now!"
Ciro was so frightened that he took a step back, "No kidding, I'm your cousin." ”
"If you're not, you're dead now!How did you bastard promise me last time, didn't you say your men were very secretive? Didn't you say Shino couldn't find any clues?"
Ciro was unusually embarrassed, "This, I don't understand how Shino could catch Alva's handle? But don't worry, Alva won't say anything." ”
"If I believe in you again, I will be committing my life to you, an idiot. Wipe your own ass clean and never let them reach the barracks alive. ”
Ciro gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll arrange it now." ”
"You personally contact those orcs to do this, but you don't show up, no one but you and I are at ease. Before Ciro walked out of the tent, Aemond solemnly confessed.
......
On the official road leading to the Frost Thunder Legion's station, a battalion of cavalry escorted a two-horse horned carriage galloping all the way.
The leader of the troops was none other than Quartermaster Dylan, and his mood was much lighter at this time. As long as the treasurer of Alva and Xingyuan Commercial Bank was escorted to the legion camp, the punishment for the robbery of these two military supplies would naturally be exempted.
A sharp arrow suddenly shot out of the woods beside the road, heading straight for Dylan's head.
Dylan was already a sixth-level captain, and he didn't dare to relax along the way, and he dodged away with a tilt of his head in the face of a sneak attack.
But this arrow was only a prelude to the attack, and a rain of arrows flew out of the woods and covered the entire cavalry battalion.
"There is an ambush, don't fight, escort the carriage and rush out!" Dylan was very experienced, and he knew that the target of the enemy's ambush must be the prisoners in the carriage.
Cavalry warriors continued to fall from their horses, but the knights rushed forward while constantly dialing and dodging arrows, never dismounting and entanglement with each other.
By the time the Demon Ape warriors rushed out of the woods onto the official road, the cavalry battalion had already run a long distance, out of range of their bows and arrows.
Before Dylan and the cavalry of the escort battalion could breathe a sigh of relief, more than two hundred cavalry cavalry cavalry rushed out of the oblique spur. These leopard cavalry were as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they caught up with the Terran cavalry who had already run out for a while, and stopped the Terran cavalry in a small circle.
"Kill, brothers rush out with me!" Dylan was already red-eyed, and led the cavalry battalion to rush forward to kill.
The cavalry of the two clans collided head-on and quickly became entangled.
Although Dylan desperately rushed forward and his soldiers fought hard, the strength of the cavalry of the escort battalion was obviously a big difference between the strength of the orc and leopard cavalry.
This gap in absolute strength was so big that it made people desperate, and under the ferocious slaughter of the leopard cavalry, the Terran cavalry fell off their horses like dumplings.
The melee between the two sides did not last long, and most of the Terran cavalry were killed, and the Demon Ape warriors had already surrounded them from behind.
Dylan, who was covered in blood, was already desperate, and if he didn't leave, let alone rush out with the carriage, the entire cavalry battalion would be wiped out, and he had to shout for the soldiers to scatter and flee for their lives.
For the fleeing Terran cavalry, the orcs did not pursue, but surrounded the carriage that had lost its guard and was parked alone on the side of the road......
