Chapter 276: Departure (1)
As the sun sets, the tired birds return home.
The blade stood quietly on a small hill, watching the sunset in the west. Beneath the hill, Hell Roars leisurely chases and frolicks with a few fluttering butterflies.
Blade has loved to watch the sunset since he was a child, and he thinks that the moment when the sunset reflects everything in the world is the most beautiful scenery in the world. He had read many books on human beings, and he was very fond of one of the poems written by a human bard.
"The sunset is so infinitely beautiful, but unfortunately it's close to dusk. ”
However, he only liked the first half of the bard's poem, which praised the beauty of the sunset, and he did not agree with the bard's regret for the short sunset in the second half of the poem.
As long as you can see the beauty of that moment, why care about the passing of that beauty?
As long as you have it, why care about it for a long time?
At this moment, Blade felt that he had the temperament of a bard.
And the reason for all this is because when he returned to the camp of the Independent Wolf Cavalry Wing in the Arnathan area a day ago, he learned that Julie had suddenly left. She walked so suddenly, just as she came so suddenly.
For Julie's farewell, Blade felt a faint melancholy loneliness. After all, he had become accustomed to Julie's noisy chattering in his ear these days.
And Julie's departure made Blade involuntarily think of Julie's good sister, the girl of the Red Dragon Clan who had made her extremely stunning on the shore of Xingchen Lake in the northern grasslands.
Is she okay now?
An eagle's cry pulled the blade back to reality from its daze. He looked up at the sky, and saw a cyan harrier eagle hovering above his head, and suddenly, the cyan harrier eagle's wings converged, and a swoop flew towards him.
The blade raised its right arm, and when the cyan harrier eagle was about to rush in front of the blade, its downward momentum suddenly slowed down, and it flapped its wings and slowly landed on the blade's right wrist. And on the legs of the cyan harrier eagle, you can see a letterbox tied to it.
This cyan harrier eagle is the letter eagle raised in the orc army.
"First-order Demonic Beast Kale Harrier Eagle, although you don't have any combat power to speak of, but your memory is really amazing, I didn't expect you to remember me just by looking at Carter. Blade muttered to himself, reaching out to untie the letter attached to the eagle's leg, and took out a thin parchment roll from it, and with a flick of his right hand, the cyan harrier eagle immediately spread its wings and quickly disappeared into the sky.
The blade unfolded the parchment scroll, and after reading the contents of the parchment scroll, two cold lights flashed in his eyes.
"As I expected, you are so breathless, and it seems that you are no more than that. The blade smiled slightly, then put his hands together, and with a twist of his spirit, he gently rubbed the parchment roll, and a thin powder floated out from between his palms.
The blade whistled, and the hell roared under the small hill with a low roar, and the bow jumped a few times, and in the blink of an eye, it stopped in front of the blade.
The blade rolled over and rode onto the back of Hell's Roar, then clamped his legs between Hell's Roar's abdomen, and in the quiet night, he galloped quickly to the camp of wolf cavalry that had been lit not far behind him, which had been lit with a bonfire.
......
In the early morning, the fog cleared. The dew on the branches and leaves of the trees outside Portland is so crystal clear, shining in the light of the rising sun.
With a "click", the heavy gates of Portland City slowly opened, and surprisingly, it was not the usual people and merchants who walked out of the gates, but a group of Byzantine hoplite knights full of murderous intentions. Moreover, the mounts under the mounts of these hoplite knights were not the most common horses among the Byzantine cavalry mounts, but a tall and mighty velociraptor head.
Sophia rode on the back of a red velociraptor and ran out of the gate of Portland City with the steel torrent composed of the first wave of Tyrannosaurus Riders, and then she took several Tyrannosaurus Riders who appeared to be separated from the steel torrent and stood on the side of the road, silently watching the Tyrannosaurus Riders behind them roll out of Portland City one after another.
The sun shone lightly on Sophia's flawless face like mutton fat jade, and her pale golden eyes reflected an incomparably resolute look.
When all the 3,000 Tyrannosaurus Knights rushed out of Portland City and headed towards the border of the Omnison region of the Beamon Empire like a long snake, Sophia reached out and pulled off the visor on her helmet, covering her face, and then flicked her whip, urging the velociraptor to gallop towards the front of the team. Seeing this, several of the knights behind her also immediately lifted the reins, urged their mounts, and followed in a huddle.
At the same time, in the large camp of the Independent Wolf Cavalry Wing in the Arnathan area, 1,500 blood-toothed wolf cavalry in full armor were rushing out of the camp gate and slowly marching in the direction of Portland City.
Two days later, the three thousand Tyrannosaurus Knights led by Sophia had penetrated deep into the Anathan region of the Beamon Empire, gradually approaching the location of the camp of the Blade's wolf cavalry wing.
At noon, Sophia rode a velociraptor on a hill and stared ahead. Behind her, in an open area, the smoke curled up, and the three thousand tyrannosaurus knights were busy making fires and cooking, the scene was orderly, without any noise, and the solemn military appearance of the elite division was fully displayed at this moment.
At this moment, a velociraptor slowly ran up the hill with its tail wagging and stopped beside Sophia, standing side by side with her. The knight on the velociraptor is a middle-aged man with a Chinese face and thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Captain, lunch is ready, let's go down and eat. The next time I can eat again, I'm afraid it will be after the battle. The middle-aged knight on the velociraptor said to Sophia.
Sophia turned her face sideways, silently glanced at the middle-aged knight, and suddenly opened her mouth to ask: "Victor, as the deputy captain of the second brigade, I want to hear the truth in your heart, do you think I am right or wrong to send troops rashly this time?"
Victor's brow furrowed slightly, but he didn't answer immediately.
Seeing that Victor was silent, Sophia sighed lightly and said, "Even you are so hesitant to answer this question, it seems that you think I am wrong?"
"Maybe the whole team thinks that I am so eager to send troops for revenge because of the murder of Baron Jack, and I think you are also aware of the emotional entanglement between me and Baron Jack, and now because of Baron Jack's death, I am indeed in a state of confusion, and I can't wait to immediately put the murderer in front of me. After saying this, the expression on Sophia's face, which had always been extremely strong, disappeared instantly, and a deep sad look suddenly appeared.
When Victor heard this, he couldn't help but look at Sophia in amazement. However, Victor's expression was only surprised for a moment, then returned to normal, and said indifferently: "I only know that the captain never fights a battle that is uncertain, and if the captain is not sure of winning this battle, he will not send troops in such a hurry." ”
Sophia's body shook slightly when she heard this, she didn't open her mouth, but a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Victor quietly, she knew that he must have something to say.
Sure enough, I saw Victor continue: "Although the captain has a deep affection for Baron Jack, I also know that the captain is not a person who abolishes the public for personal reasons, and will not joke with the lives of his brothers because of Baron Jack's death. All I know is that when the captain was appointed to our second brigade, the brothers in the brigade, including me, Victor, didn't buy you because of your status as a woman. However, Captain, you finally convinced us and swore allegiance, of course, there are reasons for your amazing martial arts, but more importantly, Captain, you are good to your brothers, and the brothers are obvious to all. Therefore, if you say that your captain will make a joke about the lives of the 3,000 brothers of the entire brigade for his own selfishness, I, Victor, will not believe it. I don't think I, Victor, am the only one in the brigade who thinks like this. ”
After Victor finished speaking, he and Sophia looked at each other, and after a while, Sophia sighed faintly and said, "Victor, thank you." ”
After that, Sophia gradually regained her original resolute expression, and the trust of her subordinates made her feel a little moved, she knew that she had to cheer up, and she must not let her bad mood affect the morale of her own soldiers before the battle.
"Captain, what are your plans for this military operation, and you won't just go all the way to the camp of the wolf cavalry and then set up a battle in formation, right?" Seeing that Sophia's mood gradually calmed down, Victor asked the doubts in his heart.
Sophia sighed lightly and said, "Victor, I've been in a bad mood these days and don't want to communicate with people, so although I have some plans for this military operation in my heart, I haven't told you, please don't mind." ”
Victor smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care about it.
"Blade, Iron Mane...... When I learned that I was going to be transferred to the western frontier to deal with him, I studied the information about his operations in the steppes of the northern frontier of the Bimon Empire. Knowing that he is in the army of the orcs, he can be regarded as an alternative, and he does not like to play cards according to common sense in battle, and he has always liked to go sideways. One of his characteristics when fighting is that he likes to provoke his opponent and let him lead him by ......the nose when he loses his cool. Speaking of this, Sophia couldn't help but feel another pain in her heart.
After letting out a sigh of depression in her heart and re-easing her emotions, Sophia continued: "He is really bold, I didn't expect that he would dare to sneak in just a few days after we came to Portland City......
"He did hit me in the sore spot this time, but unfortunately, I wouldn't lose my cool and fall into his calculations like the opponents he had met before. If my guess is correct, his purpose in killing Jack is to make me hastily send troops to fight him in a fit of rage, and he will definitely not fight me face to face like this, although the blood-toothed wolf cavalry under his command claims to be the elite of the orc army, but our Tyrannosaurus Knights are also not inferior to them, if he wants to fight us head-on, he will not get any bargain at all. We are not the troops he encountered when he attacked the western garrison a few days ago, and we had little combat effectiveness. ”
"We've been in his garrison for a long time, but he's always been on his feet, and I guess he's just trying to get us as far away from Portland as possible, and he's not targeting us at all. ”
"What do you mean, Captain?" Victor was shocked.
"He's just trying to get the tiger away. Sophia said lightly.
