The edge of the Latta Mountains

"General, this is where those abominable monsters appeared. ", said one of the generals hatefully.

Looking at the huge craters in the distance, and the flattening of the Lata Mountains, General Jean could hardly imagine what kind of force could make the originally towering mountains look like this.

Just a few days ago, seeing that more and more areas of his territory were being invaded by this group of unknown monsters, General Jean had no choice but to lead a group of soldiers to the vicinity of the Lata Mountains.

Along the way, they had also seen some so-called monsters, but those were some peripheral miscellaneous soldiers, and their real strength was not necessarily much stronger than the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests.

Under the siege of General Jean and his soldiers, it can basically be said that they came here with a devastating force.

At this point, General Jean couldn't help but rejoice in his wise decision.

If he had informed the royal capital of this news from the beginning, the royal capital would definitely send troops to support, and eighty percent would have sent the current marshal of the country, General William.

Although General William is a bit old and will step down in the near future, he is still the first person in the Norlan Empire!

If such a simple task had been picked up by General William, it would seem that it would not prove much more than to show Jean's incompetence.

"What the so-called devil, but Erl. General Jean thought to himself, and an inexplicable sense of superiority hit him.

While General Jean was secretly rejoicing, an even greater crisis was quietly waiting for me to approach him.

"Oh no, General, our baggage forces seem to have been attacked beyond the Lata Mountains!", just as General Jean was waiting for me, a soldier hurried over to report.

"What!", General Jean's expression suddenly became surprised.

Others don't know the strength of the baggage troops, but General Jean can be said to know this well, and he arranged it himself, and each of them is the elite of the elite.

As a veteran general who has fought for many years, General Jean is well aware of the importance of the rear troops, and since ancient times, I don't know how many generals have been buried at this point.

Therefore, an important principle of his marching and fighting was to arrange the most elite cavalry as an escort force in the original baggage troops.

And this time, because the army was sufficient, General Jean even arranged thousands of the most elite cavalry to escort the baggage.

It was an existence that tens of thousands of troops could not easily destroy, and now there was no news at all.

Looking at the less than 50,000 troops under his hand, General Jean couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Thinking of this, General Jean hurriedly began to walk towards the outskirts of the Lata Mountains with a large number of soldiers.

But after several days of exploration, no trace of the baggage troops was found on the outskirts of the Lata Mountains.

"A bunch of rubbish, I'm lazy again, how can an army of tens of thousands of people disappear out of thin air, today I want to see people alive and corpses when I die!", General Jean ordered without question.

"General, we really carried out a carpet search, and there really is no one outside the Lata Mountains!", a non-commissioned officer next to him said with a look of embarrassment.

"Could it be...", hearing this, a terrible thought rose in General Jean's mind.

"Bring me the map!", General Jean hurriedly said to his soldiers waiting for me.

Looking at the route of the baggage troops on the map, General Jean seemed to understand something.

"No need to look for it!", General Jean hurriedly ordered after reading the map.

"General, what are you...", looking at the general who had insisted on digging three feet into the ground to find it before, he suddenly changed his attention, and the non-commissioned officer asked with some puzzlement.

"They're in the interior of the Lata Mountains!", General Jean replied in disbelief.

"How is it possible...", now it's not just this non-commissioned officer, all the accompanying generals are confused.

Follow the map, as long as the generals leading the team are not stupid, how can they not bring the troops to the interior of the Lata Mountains!

This is the consensus of all the generals, and it is also where they are most confused.

"Look here. Saying that, General Jean pointed to the map and began to interpret it in detail, knowing that at this time, the generals present suddenly realized.

As a result of the last explosion caused by Rovan, large areas of the Lata Mountains have been flattened, and the geomorphological characteristics of some areas have already been radically changed.

Unfortunately, on the way forward, the baggage troops had to pass through such an area that had changed the characteristics of the landscape.

At this time, if you follow the original route directions, you will turn right at a fork in the road in advance.

And this turn is the way to the interior of the Latta Mountains.

Obviously, there is no news from the baggage troops so far, and they must have gone the wrong way and strayed into the interior of the Lata Mountains.

Although he did not know the situation inside the mountains, General Jean knew that this force was afraid that it would be more than lucky.

Because taking the wrong road is temporary, you will definitely find something wrong later, and at this time, as long as you return the same way, there will be nothing.

However, the reality is that this unit is missing!

At this moment, General Jean no longer has the joy and pride he had at the beginning, but more of the fear and regret of the unknown.

Of course, at this moment, General Jean has long since had no way out.

You know, since this matter chose to hide from the royal capital at the beginning, it is okay, the king will think that you are a capable and assertive courtier, and will arrange more important tasks for you in the future.

If he fails, he will be ruined and not be used seriously, and at worst, he will be punished for the crime of bullying, which General Jean does not want to see.

At this moment, he had no choice but to take the rest of his troops to explore the interior of the Lata Mountains, even if the journey was full of unknown dangers.

"The whole army is regrouped and ready to go to the interior of the Lata Mountains. ", General Jean hurriedly ordered.

"Those who have become great things since ancient times must first go through such a choice, become the king and lose the king! General Jean comforted himself in his heart.

Soon, after a day of rapid marching, General Jean finally led his generals to the fork in the road shown on the map.

Looking at the terrain in front of him, which had changed beyond recognition, Jean was even more convinced of his conjecture.

Under this kind of landform, if you are not very familiar with this area, and simply rely on the map to guide the way, nine out of ten will go into danger.

Sure enough, not long after marching along the fork in the road, General Jean found some traces left by the baggage troops on the way.

Looking at the tracks of the wooden carts, which were very smooth along the way, General Jean probably guessed the course of the march of the baggage troops.

Following the trail, General Jean's troops waited for me to come beyond a jungle.

And the traces of the wooden cart also disappeared between the dense trees.

Apparently, they got in from here, and never came out again...

Looking at the two rows of open waiting trees, General Jean felt like a Pandora's box of waiting for me, full of unknown evil.
