Chapter 304: The Battle of Burning Fire
"Hmph, someone presented a forged magical image to the Emperor, and then framed the Marshal for secretly planning a private army with the intention of rebellion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info hum hum...... It's really ridiculous, if the marshal really wants to rebel, where can he be so troublesome, just blow up the entire Black Mountain and bury all the poor and ridiculous ants into the abyss. ”
From the mouth of the Rhine, I could not hear how much respect he had for the empire and the supreme majesty, and even the fact that the family behind him was in Montenegro was not at all, and it seemed that the status of Retuses in his heart had already surpassed everything else.
But Goron immediately sensed that something was wrong, since Retuses had the ability to crush all troubles, how could he care about the trouble that a batch of prohibited heavy equipment might bring, and even go to great lengths to escort it personally. Thinking of this, Goron immediately asked: "Marshal..... no, since you don't have to care about these ridiculous and ridiculous frame-ups with the strength of your father, then why do you have to ......?"
Rhine's eyebrows were suddenly tightly locked, and after a long while, he replied: "That's right, Lord Marshal also laughed when he heard this, and he didn't care at all, just thinking that it was another boring 'farce', but I know that this 'farce' is a little different...... No, it's very different......"
Although the most eye-catching identity of the dragoon general Rhine is one of the commanders of the three major war groups of the dragoon regiment under the command of the Imperial Marshal, this identity is so radiant that it almost conceals his illustrious and noble origin, and he has the oldest noble blood in the empire, the sacred and powerful bloodline inheritance of the Millennium Eagle family, one of the seven principalities of the Holy Beast.
The Millennium Eagle Family is different from the Plantagenet Family, which is closely attached to the Imperial Family, although many important members of the Millennium Eagle Family have settled in the imperial capital of Montenegro, the real foundation is still in the fiefdom of the Principality in the coastal region, although it is not as self-respecting as the Cool Bear Family. dominates one side, but the real influence of the imperial family on it must also be discounted. Each of the seven principalities has a history of the same length as the Empire, and its roots are definitely hard to underestimate.
"My clan has ordered me to leave the Dragoon Regiment and return to my family territory as soon as possible, through a confidential channel that can only be used once. Rhine's face was calm as he said this. It seemed to be a trivial matter, but Goron smelled a thick dark smell in it, like the hot and humid smell of the annual storm tide of the Sea Rock Bay Peninsula, and it was a nauseating smell.
One of the three Grand Commanders under Marshal Rethus, this identity is not too far behind even the seven Holy Beast Grand Dukes strictly speaking, and Rhine's usual unscrupulous style of behavior can be seen. This identity can be proud of the entire Millennium Eagle family, and the actual benefits it brings are immeasurable in consolidating the family's power and status, no matter how you think about it. None of the Millennium Eagles should take the initiative to cut off the connection between themselves and Rethus. However, the order that Rhine received was undoubtedly the Millennium Eagle that forced himself and the Imperial Marshal into irreparable opposition, and no matter how he thought about it, it was too stupid to be stupid.
But because this order is so stupid and desperate, it reveals a trace of shrewdness and ...... Helpless. A little thought about it will reveal the hidden truth behind this order, that is, the Millennium Eagle family is already very optimistic about the future of this imperial marshal.
That's right, even though they knew that Rethusus had absolute power, they still didn't think about the future of the greatest hero the empire had ever seen......
"And what about your decision, Lord Rhine?" asked Goron calmly, though he already knew the answer to the question.
"When you've felt the vastness of the ocean. Will you give up the infinite grandeur because of the comfort of a small mud pond?"
Although Gron, the ogre, who is simple and direct in language arts, does not like this kind of roundabout description, he can also feel the mood of Rhine when he says this.
"And what about the order of the Millennium Eagle Family. You didn't tell the meta...... Do you want to tell your father?"
"No, and I'm not going to tell the other two dragoons. ”
"Why?" said Goron, puzzled. However, Rhine obviously had no interest in solving his doubts, and immediately changed the subject: "I actually have another task to be assigned to you to carry out this time when I come to the Snow Needle Camp. ”
“…… What a task. "Goron has limited interest in the intrigues of the Terrans, and since Rhine is unwilling to say it, he will not get to the bottom of it.
"I want you and your group of subhuman war slaves on a confidential mission. I want you to start a fire......"
"Fire? Are you trying me to burn down the Black Forest?"
"No, not that boring little flame. I want you to light a flame that should have been ignited a long time ago, I want you to ...... Attack the Cool Bears' unsightly army stationed in the Black Forest. ”
******
Born and raised in the hot and humid coastal rainforest, Goron's tough constitution makes him well adapted to all kinds of harsh environments, but that doesn't mean he likes the snow and ice of the Black Forest. Thinking of this mission again, Goron's brow furrowed even more unstretched.
Goron has only been in contact with humans for a short time. The consequences of this can also be guessed......
Although everyone knows that the Empire and the Cool Bear Principality will inevitably fight in the end, due to the excessive complexity of the situation, the common enemies of the Empire and the Cool Bear, the contradictions and conflicts between the Holy See and other human empires, and the subhuman kingdom that is eyeing the underground and western wilderness, in the end, this imperial civil war has always maintained the level of small-scale conflict and friction, and both sides have retained the lowest level of restraint and have not made formal attacks.
And what Rhine wants Goron to do is to ignite this pile of dry wood poured with fire oil, completely involve the empire and the cool bear in the endless flames of war, and countless lives will be devastated, and he Goron will undoubtedly bear the heavy historical charge of "the initiator of the war".
Once the war ends, no matter what the final result is, who wins and who loses, there will only be so many endings waiting for him, and he may be directly eliminated or forcibly pulled out. Responsible for the countless lives that have died as a result of the war. However, this is not what Goron is really worried about, or rather, he wishes that he would have increased the financial burden of the Cool Bear Principality earlier. Although he wears a human skin, he is not a real human being, and he does not want to develop in the human empire for a long time. It doesn't matter what the situation will be like in the future, and what does it have to do with him, an ogre. That's why Goron would take on this terrible assignment that looked like Rhein was framing himself.
Goron's real headache is how to find the group of dwarves that Rhine refers to in a vast snow and endless sea of trees, although everyone knows that Cool Bear has long installed a small but very elite dwarven army in the Black Forest to monitor the movements of the Imperial Legion, and the dwarves are not a subhuman race that likes the cold and is good at snow warfare, but the dwarves can play well in this environment in addition to iron and combat.
That's right, it's a hole.
Beneath the thick snow and hard frozen soil, the dwarves were able to dig out a warm, dry underground palace that was not dug out. The exact location of the dwarven fortress buried deep underground is unknown. However, the cave exits that extend in all directions, almost all important locations in the Black Forest, are not difficult to find, but even if they are found, they are useless, because they can be abandoned at any time.
Of course, this is true for ordinary raiders, but Golon's Black Hand Legion has "characteristics" that ordinary legions do not have. Under Goron's men, there is a fighting squad composed entirely of dwarves.
After a full day of carpet searching, the scouts of the Mafia finally discovered an exit to a dwarven cave that was still in use recently. After confirmation. A team of dwarves dressed in the uniforms of the Duchy of Cool Bear is sent in, tasked with quickly locating the warehouses or other important structures inside the dwarven caves. Then ignite the flammable smoke material that you are carrying.
This may seem like a difficult task, but the odds of success are quite high. To put it bluntly, the reason is actually very simple, that is, the dwarves of the Cool Bear Principality have almost no experience in fighting with their own kind. The caves they dug were only accessible to a handful of small subhuman races, and the Empire had no other subhuman legions other than cannon fodder, so it was fairly safe for these cool bear dwarves to hide in their caves. They probably never dreamed that their dwarven race would infiltrate and destroy it.
Just as Goron had predicted, a puff of smoke billged out of the cave shortly after, followed by a group of grizzled dwarves, none other than a third of the dwarven squad sent by Goron on a mission. But the faces of the remaining dwarves were filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
Within seconds of their own dwarven squad, the Cool Bear Dwarven warriors burst out of the cave with shocked and furious faces, gasping for air, coughing frantically and whimpering in pain, but even worse, they were shot down by the elven archers who were ambushing the cave.
"Find all the smoking holes and kill all the dwarves that are rising, and leave not a single one behind!"
Goron's slave corps had long since dispersed nearby, and the jet-black smoke was the most distinctive sign, and the good ventilation system of the dwarven cave made the underground flames burn extremely strongly, not to mention the special poisonous smoke in it. I'm afraid that at least seventy percent of the dwarves will be smoked alive in the ground, and those who are lucky enough to escape will hardly escape the ambush at the entrance of the cave.
Standing at the top of the tallest tree nearby, Goron unleashed his second divine power with all his might to ensure that no fish slipped through the net, and when the last dwarf who had escaped far away was also chased and killed by the Black Lake, this crucial battle that might have been recorded in history ended tepidly.
"The first step of the plan is complete, and our 'messengers' can be dispatched. With Goron's order, several of Golon's dwarves ran to the other side of the Black Forest. They are not war slaves, but members of the Black City Guild, and they have only one mission, which is to pass on deliberately processed information to the Cool Bear Principality. Cool Bear is BlackCity's main partner, and Goron doesn't want to cause trouble between the two sides because of this kind of mission, at least not to let Cool Bear know that the real identity of the attackers is a group of subhumans.
The battle went unusually well, the war slaves had begun to celebrate the victory, and the corpses of the dwarves could also meet the needs of the banquet, but for some reason Goron's heart could not be calm, just when he was walking alone in the forest, the snow next to him suddenly flew away, and a huge figure suddenly flew out, and before Goron could even react, he was slapped out by a giant palm...... (To be continued.) )
