Chapter 182: Mona
"General Orton, there's Night City ahead. Orton's new lieutenant stepped forward to report.
"I can see it. "General Orton has been in a bad mood these days, he always feels that something is wrong, but he doesn't know what is wrong, fortunately, General Orton is not the kind of leader who will vent his anger on his subordinates, otherwise the morale of the troops will definitely be affected.
At this time, another herald stepped forward and reported: "Your Excellency, the spies have come to report that there are about 10,000 troops stationed in Night City, and the leader is Lord Ferdy, the chief of the guard of the royal city. ”
"Ferdy, the orc?" General Orton looked at Atru, "what is his ability?"
Atru snorted disdainfully, "There is more than enough bravery, but not enough intelligence, and it is not material to be a leader at all, there must be other leaders." ”
"I see. After a moment's thought, General Orton came to the conclusion, "The man who commands this army must be the red man." ”
The Odyssey royal family will not be so poor that it can't even take a general-level figure, Night City is the last barrier of the royal city, Night City has been conquered, and this section of the road to the royal city is a flat river, and its importance is self-evident - as long as the royal family is not stupid, it will not send a person who can't fight to take charge of defense here.
And Ferdy, who is just the chief of the palace guard, although he is a level 6 cultivator, he doesn't have much power in his own right, and because he is an orc, his brain circuit is not strong enough, so it's okay to be a captain who charges into battle, but if he wants to be a general who leads the army to fight...... As Atru said, it is completely inadequate.
But Wang Cheng still sent Ferdy as a person, so all that was needed was his status and identity. What kind of person has no status but is capable?
In General Orton's opinion, only Hakuba Shenxue, who joined the royal family a year ago, is alone.
Although it is far away from the border, General Orton's control of the royal city has never relaxed, and this woman is indeed very capable, and she is very hidden, and she is an object that must be guarded against.
General Orton looked at his watch and ordered, "Retreat a hundred meters back and set up camp, and let Tulaman set up a defensive barrier." ”
He already knew that the Odyssey royal family had a new weapon that had a long range, and was easy to use and carry. Listening to this description, it is impossible for General Orton not to blush, but fortunately, there are not many of these weapons whose names are not yet known, but it is always impossible to take defensive measures.
Moreover, General Orton did not believe that the royal family only had such hole cards, and it was not surprising that the woman named Shenxue had been here for a year.
On the battlefield, General Orton never despised the enemy.
His men faithfully obeyed General Orton's orders, and in just an hour's time, the entire camp appeared in the middle of the plains.
The 40,000 men were impressive, and from the side of Night City, General Orton's camp was scattered all over the mountains—not quite appropriately, but it was well described—and the timid leader would probably be frightened into surrendering.
"It seems that they already know how to deal with our mortars. Standing on the walls of Night City, Shenxue held a monocular and observed General Orton's army, "Should I say that it is worthy of General Orton, it is indeed experienced." ”
Ferdy stood nearby, acting as the commander, and he didn't need a telescope to see the state of the camp, where the pestle was like a flagpole.
General Orton's encampment site is a certain distance from Night City, and the distance between the tents and tents is deliberately increased, which can not only reduce the damage of mortars, but also visually oppress the enemies in Night City.
When the camp is bigger, it gives people the illusion that there are more of them, which may be useless for smart people, but not everyone is smart people.
I saw a blue light in the camp, and a weak magic reaction covered the entire camp, which showed that the magic shield had been opened, and General Orton had made great efforts to prevent the attack.
"It's a shame, but it's useless. After getting the information she wanted, Shenxue walked down the city wall, "Let the soldiers be ready, and we will work at night." ”
"At night, are you going to steal the camp?" Ferdy, who was walking in front, was startled, although he didn't know much about marching and fighting, but he also understood that when the magic shield was already opened, going to steal the camp was just sending him to death.
"Of course, it's not stealing the camp, it's bombing the camp. Deep Snow shook her finger, "They thought everything would be fine with a shield, so I made them understand that offense is always better than defense." ”
"Bomb the camp?" Ferdy immediately thought of the cannons brought by Deep Snow, no way, those cannons were too impressive, plus the word fried, even Ferdy could guess Deep Snow's intentions.
"But it's a little different from what I knew. ”
"This can't be done, who stipulates that the side defending the city must defend obediently? Of course, there is a chance to pierce through a wave!" Shen Xue made an indecent gesture, "Fighting still pays attention to the rules, it must be a fool!"
Ferdy racked his brains and couldn't figure out what was going on in Shenxue's mind, so he could only give up, but in the end he made a request, saying that there was a cultivator named Atru on the other side, and he would hand it over to Ferdy to deal with when he appeared.
"What, have a grudge against him?" Shenxue was curious.
"It's a competitor. Ferdy replied angrily, and then went on.
Shenxue turned his head and asked the guards who followed behind, this guard Xiaoxiao answered Shenxue's question very honestly, Shenxue then knew that one of these two people was a gold medal fighter under General Orton, and the other was the number one macho man under the royal family, and the two men who only had fighting and killing in their heads, with similar status and similar strength, and they were also in different camps, so it was normal to have a sense of competition.
If it were some impure girls, it is estimated that they would have made up no less than 100,000 words of love and killing.
Before the conflict between General Orton and the royal family was formalized, these two heroes were already competing with each other openly and secretly, and now they want to meet each other on the battlefield, and they will definitely not stop if they don't beat their brains.
"Ah, by the way, I want to ask you something. ”
"What's the matter?"
"How's General Orton's mansion?"
"It was suppressed, but his family was not caught, but a lot of property was seized. ”
"Hmm...... Well, as long as there is a catch. Shenxue shook her head and didn't mention it again.
General Ou Dun rebelled very suddenly, and didn't even let his family leave the royal city first, Shen Xue was naturally happy to have such a good reason to raid the house, but the general's wife was already ready, and ran away on her own early, and the Wang family guards who went to raid the house pounced and only confiscated some of the insignificant money.
Although it is a pity, Shenxue is not keen on capturing the general's family, and a character like General Orton must have thought about the fate of his family after his rebellion, but he still did it, which shows that he doesn't care about the safety of the general's mansion at all.
It's a very standard hero~
Deep Snow hummed a little tune and walked into her office.
After entering the hole, Tsukizakura couldn't help but start coughing, the concentration of natural magic here is higher than outside, and every breath will give people a strange feeling.
If you're outside, there's basically no one alive with this concentration of magic.
At the same time, he noticed that in this hole, there were already people.
And when she saw the person's clothes, Yue Ying unconsciously sighed: Although the characteristics are a little inconspicuous, this person's clothes are obviously the clothes of the guards of the royal city.
Was it Satsuki's time?
Thinking of Gamor's sacrificed teammates, Tsukizakura immediately thought about how the little brother in front of her had come from.
Attacking the necromancer's base wouldn't be so smooth, and even if Ferdy was there, it wouldn't be unexpected to be injured or even killed - weren't Satsuki and Ferdy also teleported to the Frost Plains after being overcast?
"Hello?"
Tsukizakura tried to say hello, maybe this person didn't die like Gamor?
The man looked up slowly, allowing Tsukizakura to see his face clearly.
A neatly trimmed hair, upright facial features, and a sunny-looking face - if you hadn't met here, this little brother would probably be the hero of a certain story, and compared with a suspected heroine like Yueying, he made a judgment.
"My name is ...... Moon Sakura?"
"Mona. The little brother suddenly replied, "I'm Mona, Her Royal Highness's personal guard...... Let's fight to the death. ”
