Chapter 211: Drarond
Getil Oasis.
Central's most important traffic mouthpiece.
Narius was well aware that this expedition was different from the previous ones, and in order to ensure the logistical supply of the entire expeditionary army, he sent the Usher squadron to be stationed here.
There are three thousand two hundred elven veterans, each of whom is a killing god who has walked down the battlefield. They are both heroes and outliers of the elves.
They are unable to continue fighting on the battlefield and are unable to quickly integrate into the daily lives of civilians.
In the more than 5,000 years of history of the Usher squadron, less than half of the Usher veterans returned to their hometowns and became elven civilians again to die a good death, while the remaining more than half of the Usher veterans ended their lives in madness.
A squadron full of glory and sorrow, a squadron that has never been defeated.
The last time Uscher's squadron went to the front was seven hundred years ago. It was a conflict between the demon clan and the elf clan, and the Usher Lieutenant at that time was ordered to go to the Barbarian Yuan Continent for a regular mission, but the Demon Blood Wolf Tribe at that time launched an assassination operation against the envoy protected by the Usher squadron.
The assassination operation was discovered by the commander of Usher's squadron, Squadron Leader Delanod, and the Blood Wolf Tribe went from an assassination to a storm.
Five thousand blood wolf cavalry laid siege to Usher's squadron.
At that time, the Usher squadron was not fully staffed, with only two thousand men. And because it was a regular mission at that time, the Usher squadron only sent half of the people to the Barbarian Yuan Continent.
That's a thousand.
Five thousand blood wolf cavalry fought against one thousand elven foot soldiers.
Theoretically, this result should have been doomed before the battle, the 1,000 men of the Usher squadron could only fail, even if they could inflict huge casualties on the 5,000 blood wolf cavalry, but the charge of the 5,000 blood wolf cavalry could also break the defense line of the 1,000 elven veterans and completely strangle them.
But the final result made everyone lose their glasses.
The 1,000 Usher veterans did suffer heavy casualties, and only 221 survived, none of them were wounded, and all the wounded Usher veterans died with the enemy.
And in the end, there were only more than 1,000 blood wolf cavalry left, and it was this more than 1,000 that was frightened by the two hundred and twenty-one Usher veterans and did not dare to go further.
Although they all knew that if they charged again, maybe the two hundred and twenty-one scarred veterans would fall completely, and they would be able to complete the mission.
But the more than 1,000 blood wolf cavalry completely lost the will to fight.
This battle also completely achieved the name of Usher, and made the blood wolf tribe a disgrace within the demon clan, and the blood wolf patriarch at that time carried all the black cauldrons, and even the entire wolf clan was in turmoil at that time.
Maggie * Yinyue that Tang Dou met in the Wuyin tribe was the royal bloodline that was implicated in the internal turmoil of the wolf clan seven hundred years ago.
The original royal family of the wolf clan had a total of three bloodlines, namely the Silver Moon Bloodline, the Wind Bloodline, and the Frost Bloodline. It was in that turmoil that the Silver Moon bloodline fell, and finally faded out of the sight of the wolf clan, and even had to leave the Barbarian Yuan Continent for the Fog Hidden Continent.
Until Maggie's generation, there were less than ten people left in the Silver Moon bloodline.
Of course, this is already the past of the wolf clan, and it has nothing to do with Lin Xiao's mission.
What is related is that the leader of the Usher squadron, Dra Nord, who saw through the assassination plot of the Blood Wolf Tribe seven hundred years ago, and then fought with a thousand veterans for seven hours, and finally frightened the thousand blood wolf cavalry into not daring to attack the two hundred and twenty-one scarred veterans, is still the squadron leader of the Usher.
He's in the Gettier Oasis right now.
Dranord was once a legendary figure among the elves, he was a blood elf, and he was just eight hundred years old eight hundred years ago (equivalent to about twenty-five years old for humans) and was already a platinum-level powerhouse.
It is true that he is not as talented in cultivation as the current Xue Wendao, but in other aspects, he is far better than Xue Wendao.
Marching formations, rune study, he is all proficient. He had hoped to become another generation of elven generals. Even Narlius had high expectations for him, believing that he could become another powerful man under the Blood Elf Throne.
But a family turmoil changes Radnord's personality dramatically, and he eventually loses himself on the battlefield and kills his two younger brothers and his most beloved sister.
Eighty years later, he returned from the Fog Hidden Continent and was seriously injured, losing the opportunity to be promoted from the platinum level to the crystal level, and even from the ninth level of platinum to the third level of platinum.
When everyone thought he was dead, he offered to enter Usher.
In ten years, he went from an ordinary Usher veteran to a Usher squadron leader. Ten years after becoming squadron leader, he took Usher on an assignment for the first time on what should have been a mundane routine mission.
Thus, there was the battle of the Hamil steppe.
The Usher squadron became famous in one fight, and Dranord became famous in one fight.
For seven hundred years, Delanod remained in the Usher squadron, refusing to leave, and Narius trusted him so much that he almost gave him the Usher squadron as a private soldier.
Seven hundred years ago, Usher's squadron participated in the elven expedition to Arsa six times, and participated in the elven expedition to the demon tribe twice, either in logistics baggage, or reconnaissance missions, or supply line garrison, and none of the missions were failures.
So this time, Narius gave the task of guarding the oasis of Ghetil to Dranord and his squadron of Usher.
At this moment, Drarenor is only 1,600 years old, and theoretically only about fifty years old. But his face looks very old, and uninformed people will even think that he is an elf who has entered old age, that is, after two thousand five hundred years old.
Yes, Dranord's old age looks more like a two-and-a-half-hundred-year-old elf with a look of old age.
But he was only 1,600 years old. It's still the prime of life. Coupled with his platinum-level strength, he theoretically has at least two thousand years to live.
But no one would underestimate this old-looking blood elf.
With his long white and pink hair draped over his head, Dralanor looked at the direction of the Inner Ring of Alsar with a burning eye, and his body stood straight, like a steel spear stuck in the earth.
The gale blowing from the desert could not lift the slightest strand of his hair or clothes, and he stood there motionless.
"Report! The rear baggage troops have arrived! "The soldiers came to report. A new batch of supplies has been delivered.
Draranord's gaze remained in the distance, and he did not speak, while his own soldiers remained motionless in a reporting salute.
After a long time, Dranord nodded slightly: "Count the supplies and let the baggage troops rest, the plan is to leave us after tomorrow, and you must arrive at the next liaison station within three days!" ”
"Yes!" The soldier nodded in response and turned to leave.
But Dranord suddenly spoke: "Stone, how long have we not received contact from the front?" ”
The soldier, known as the stone, paused, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Two days, three hours later than scheduled!" ”
Dranord nodded again: "There was a storm last night? ”
"Yes, this may also be the reason for the late arrival of the contact, the storm last night lasted until midnight, and the area was quite large, like the storm just blocking the Xinniao Road, so it is possible to be late!" The soldier stone said loudly.
Dranord didn't say anything more, just waved his hand to make the soldier stone retreat.
There was no nonsense in the pro-soldier stone, and he turned around and left.
Dra Nord is strict in the army, and the Usher squadron under his leadership is even stricter than the military discipline of the main army on the front line, but the strange thing is that since Dra Nord took power in Usher, the proportion of Usher veterans who can retire seriously has greatly increased.
It can even be said that before Dralanod took power, Uscher's normal retirement ratio was less than two and a half percent, but in the seven hundred years he was in power, the highest ratio reached seventy percent, and finally under his seven hundred years in power, Usher's retirement ratio was balanced to four to six.
Forty percent retire normally!
This ratio does not sound high, but it is calculated by adding the entire history of Usher for more than 5,000 years and the veterans of more than 1,000 realms of Usher.
If you only count these 700 years, there is no one whose proportion is less than 60%.
After the soldier Stone left, Dranord's old face showed a trace of doubt and worry, such an expression almost never appeared on his face.
"Are you telling me that my time of death is up? So, who's going to take me away? Dralanod muttered in a low voice, and if his soldiers heard it, they would all be frightened to death.
Just a hundred miles away from the focus of Dranord's gaze, a place that would theoretically not be seen by Dranord at all, a place where Drano Nord could not be seen either.
Yu Yu suddenly opened his eyes: "He seems to have discovered us!" ”
Lin Xiao looked at Youyou with a shocked expression: "He? Who? ”
"Dra Nord! Usher is the squadron leader. Yu Yu whispered.
"His fighting spirit is so powerful? We're a hundred miles away, and we're behind the dunes! Lin Xiao's face was incredulous, "It's impossible for Master to see so far without knowing it!" ”
"No, not to see, but to feel. I could feel some of the changes in the scent of the moonlight, and there was an aura that was watching the place. I don't think anyone else but Dra Nord can discover here! Yu Yu pursed his thin lips.
"Do you want to give up on it? Master said that the mission can fail, the junior sisters cannot lose, as long as there are people, there is still hope for everything! Although Lin Xiao doesn't like to fail, she is deeply influenced by Tang Dou, and she attaches more importance to the safety of the people around her.
The corners of Yuyou's mouth hung a slight arc, but he shook his head very firmly: "No, I can't give up, and I can't give up." Elucie and Ellie have already made their way to the location of the operation. Haruko and Po have also arrived at their location, and we can't notify them in time now, and if we give up unilaterally, it's easier for them to be killed! ”
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, and opened them again after a while, with only a firm look in his eyes: "Since you can't give up, you must succeed." I'm sure you can do it! ”
Yu Yu smiled indifferently: "Bao's plan is very surprising, or maybe this is from the idea of a demon beast, which makes us even more unthinkable as humans." Simple, yet effective! ”
In the evening, the guy who said "I have a way" was Po.
That obsessive panda, many times the people around Tang Dou regard that panda as a cute guy. Most of the time, Panda is Chihuo's mount on the battlefield, and occasionally becomes Tang Dou's mount, but more often than not, he is a cute guy who accompanies Little Lori.
The strength of the platinum level made him more and more inconspicuous among the more and more high-end combat power around Tang Dou, and many people in the new workshop thought that this product was just a playmate of little Lori.
But only the closest girls around Tang Dou know that Ah Bao is deeply trusted by Tang Dou, and he is also a guy whose intelligence is not inferior to others at all, and even more refined than people.
This guy is simply a man in the skin of a monster. And the old treacherous one.
When Lin Xiao's three daughters were worried, Ah Bao proposed a plan that surprised the three daughters.
"Are we putting our focus on the wrong place? We are not trying to take out the Usher squadron, but to destroy the Getir Oasis. So we just need to let the elves on the Getil Oasis mess up, and then take advantage of the chaos to poison the water source and burn the supplies, the people of Usher must think that we are going for the supplies, and then we will lead them out of the oasis, use our mobility advantage, let the people of Usher chase us away from the oasis, and finally call in the sandworms with bombs to destroy the oasis. ”
Po's idea is actually quite simple. That is to master three points.
First, it made Usher's people think that Lin Xiao's goal was only to destroy supplies and assassinate Usher's members.
Second, poison the water while burning the supplies. The water source of a constant oasis like Getir has a deep water source, even if the water source is poisoned, as long as it is purified, it can be quickly restored, so it will only make the people of Usher think that Lin Xiao and the others just want to temporarily destroy the water source, and doing so will only make the elves of Usher extremely angry, but they can't think that Lin Xiao and their real goal is the oasis itself.
Third, while Usher's people are angry, lead them in pursuit, Po and Koharuko have extremely fast speed, they can fly kites at Usher's people, and then wait until most of Usher's people leave the oasis, and then let Elussie destroy the oasis with the sandworms.
The plan is not complicated, but it cleverly exploits a misunderstanding of human thinking.
That is to do sabotage, it should be for supplies and personnel, not for the oasis.
This is actually an enhanced version of Lin Xiao's previous plan to destroy the oasis. Where would anyone have thought that the people of Arsa would take the initiative to destroy the oasis they regarded as a lifeline?
When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Youyou stood up: "Let's go!" ”
She waved her hand slightly, and both of them disappeared into a hazy moonlight at the same time.
