Faced with the chaos in the camp, the knight walked to Cumberland's side and recounted the murder of prisoners at the front line.

Cumberland shook his head helplessly as he listened.

After listening, he turned to his subordinates and said, "I know, you go down." ”

Retreating to the top seat of the tent, Cumberland sat down slowly, his face full of ravines showing a little tiredness.

At this time, the orc shaman yelled and proposed, "We should march forward!

The elven shaman sneered, "March, where to march? There may be enemy troops everywhere ahead. ”

The orc shaman opened his mouth, and the breath that came out of his mouth made the elf shaman take a few steps back with his eyes closed.

"Unlike you cowards, my people, every one of them is the bravest warrior! We are willing to rush to the forefront, just to achieve the glory of the dragon god!"

The elven shaman waved his sleeves and said disdainfully, "Use more brains!

The orc shaman rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the elven shaman: "What did you say?!"

"Enough!"

Cumberland got up from his chair and let out a loud roar.

"In the name of the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom Expeditionary Force, I order! No one shall act rashly until the enemy's armament has been ascertained!"

Looking at the expressions of the people in the tent, Cumberland added: "If you have any grievances, you can complain to the head of the shaman, Lady Minnie!

"End of meeting!"

After waiting for the people in the tent to disperse, Ackerman walked up to Cumberland and whispered apologetically, "My lord, forgive me, I couldn't speak at all in the shamanic assembly. ”

Cumberland nodded: "I understand, I don't blame you, when will Lady Minnie come back?"

"It's going to be three more days. ”

Ackerman sighed: "Then again, we're always waiting here, and it's not a solution. ”

Cumberland walked to the battle sand table, looked at the large forest in front of him, and said to Ackerman: "All the scouts under your command, I have heard that most of them have night vision, eagle eyes, and clairvoyance. ”

Ackerman explained, "Werewolf scouts have night vision and telepathy, lizardmen scouts have heat sensing and mimicry abilities, and Hippogriff scouts have eagle eyes and clairvoyance, and with dragon bone armor, they can share information with each other through a hive neural network. ”

"Normally, a scout team will consist of three people to deal with different situations. ”

Cumberland propped his hands on the edge of the sandbox: "I need a scout team like this, the more the better, so that after nightfall, they can start probing from the edge of the forest and figure out everything there." ”

Ackerman said with some uncertainty: "You mean, little by little, to find out the defenses in the forest, it will consume a huge amount of manpower and time......"

"It's the only stupid way that works, at least it's better than crashing headfirst into it like a blind man. ”

Ackerman pondered for a moment, then said to Cumberland, "I see, I'm going to repel the waiting team and let them start the reconnaissance mission in the subdistrict." ”

Randall, who had been waiting in the corner for Ackerman to leave the tent, walked up to Cumberland and said, "My lord, if possible, we would like to join you in your reconnaissance mission. ”

"You?" Cumberland looked at the six people in front of him suspiciously: "You are not soldiers, you have not undergone special training, and going to the battlefield is equivalent to death." ”

Before Randall could speak, Barbara protested, "Randall, he fought in the Battle of Twilight City seven years ago, and he almost died in Lone Rock City. ”

Cumberland said slowly: "When you say that, I have some impressions. ”

"Mistress Cumberland, there is a werewolf and a lizardman in my team, both of whom are experts in scouting. The two of them and I can form a scout squad to assist in the army's reconnaissance. ”

Barbara reacted, "Wait, you mean I can't go with you?"

Cumberland showed a look of approval: "This arrangement is more reasonable, I will assign reconnaissance tasks to the three of you, as for the others, stay in the barracks and wait for news." ”

Randall gave a military salute and nodded gratefully.

"Weapons, supplies, keels, and the details of the mission, you can go to Ackerman and ask for it, now, go down. ”

Bidding farewell to Cumberland and taking his companions with him, Randall rushed to the camp of the Holy Cult.

After receiving strange stares along the way, Barbara complained, "Why don't you let me go with me?" ”

Randall smiled and didn't answer.

Finding Ackerman in the camp of the Holy Cult Army, who was busy holding a battle meeting, Randall explained his intentions.

"You want to assist with the reconnaissance mission, which is really good news for me. Ackerman, who was busy and anxious, said in distress: "The forest in front of us is as endless as the sea, and the soldiers I have on hand to carry out scout tasks are far from enough. ”

Aldnan looked at the commanders of the Holy Cult who were participating in the battle meeting, and asked strangely, "Why didn't the Harpys come, they have eagle eyes and clair, and they can fly, so they should be the best candidates." ”

"Just a week ago, the Hippogriff species had to be taken out of the mission after being attacked by heavy musket fire from the enemy," Ackerman said. ”

Seeing that the other party still didn't quite understand, Ackerman explained, "The canopy of the forest is too dense, and the Harpies flying high in the sky can't fully penetrate the leaves with their clairvoyant abilities. So, in order to get a clearer view, they had to drop in height, which gave the enemy the opportunity to attack. ”

Ackerman looked back at the soldiers attending the meeting and said, "The only soldiers who can take on the reconnaissance mission this time are werewolves, lizardmen, dark elves, and some other small species. ”

Randall said to Ackerman, "We're ready to go on a mission." ”

The latter nodded, explained a few words to his adjutant, and personally led Randall and his party towards the armory.

As soon as I walked through the door of the warehouse, a fishy and pungent smell came to my face.

Looking at the spherical creatures floating in the huge blood-red pond in front of him, Randall asked, "These...... It's all spore parasites?"

Ackerman said without replying, "This is only the No. 1 spore pool, and in the other two directions, there are two other breeding pools of the same type. ”

"We used to have to refrigerate the spores, but thanks to the work of the Dusk scholars, we can now breed the worm in situ in the barracks. ”

Through the three sentry posts, Ackerman led Randall and the others into a huge storeroom.

Thousands of towering glass incubators are neatly placed side by side, and the roar of machines and the flow of liquid make people have to raise the volume of conversation.

Ackerman shouted at Randall, "You shouldn't be unfamiliar with things here. ”

Staring at the giant parasite floating in the tank, Randall muttered, "Dragonbones." ”

"The keels here have all been strengthened by the Tyrant, and they are loaded with the Hive Insect Body Module and the Berserk Insect Body Module. ”

Barbara looked at the twisted and shaking parasite in the glass, and said with a disgusted expression, "You want to wear this on a mission?"

Randall gently stroked the glass with his hand and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've worn these armors. ”

Aldnan scratched the back of his head and asked Kellogg, the lizardman, "I've heard that the process of wearing this thing is very painful?"

Kellogg clasped his claws together and said reverently, "Take this pain as a gift from the dragon god." ”
