Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 173 Promotion

After more than half a month, the badly damaged Moonbay Fort was initially repaired and regained its defensive function as a fortress.

In the council hall of Fort Moonbay, a military meeting is taking place.

On either side of the long conference table, more than a dozen orc officers sat solemnly, while the wolf-headed overseer sat at the head of the long table, speaking about the content of the meeting.

"This time the Tidal Sea Clan has been defeated, and it should not be able to attack Moon Bay Fort again in two or three years, and it is not appropriate for the current army to stay here for a long time. I have decided to leave 10,000 warriors to garrison Yuewan Fort, and then let the rest of the warriors return to their original garrisons, I wonder what you think?"

As soon as the wolf-headed overseer said this, the hall immediately exploded.

"Lord Overseer, our first goal to gather a large army is Fort Riptide!

"Yes, Lord Overseer, my subordinates think that we should re-march to Fort Riptide in addition to leaving some of the necessary garrisons at Moonbay!"

"The Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment has grown extremely rapidly in the Northern Frontier Grassland, if it can't be eradicated as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will become a big problem for the empire sooner or later!"

The orc officers expressed their opinions, and most of them agreed that they should attack Fort Riptide again while the troops had just defeated the Sea Clan and their morale was high.

Of course, there were exceptions, including Fingleton, the commander of the Bloodfang Cavalry, who had the same opinion as the Wolf Overseer, and bluntly disagreed with the idea of attacking Fort Riptide again.

"It would be nice if we could destroy the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment without much loss, but the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment is so well-equipped that it doesn't look like a mercenary group at all, but is completely comparable to the elite legions in the human army in the Eastern Continent. We were originally inferior to the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment in terms of equipment, if we forcibly attacked Torrent Fort, the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment relied on the advantage of armament, and then relied on the advantages of the city, then our casualties would definitely not be small. Now that we need troops everywhere in the grassland, if we lose too many troops, even if we capture Fort Riptide, what will happen to the rest of the grassland?"

As soon as Fingleton said this, the orc officers who were still trying to attack Fort Riptide immediately shut their mouths. Because Fingleton was right, after all, no one could refute it, and the orc officers, though reckless, were not stupid.

At this point, the wolf-headed Overseer spoke again.

"Fingleton is right, there is not only the Red Flame Fire Dragon mercenary group in the northern grasslands, there are dozens of other mercenary groups eyeing each other. We must not allow our limited forces to lose too much at Fort Riptide. At the beginning, I surrounded Riptide Fort without fighting, just to force the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment to have to go out of the city to fight with us in the field after running out of water and food, so that our losses would be minimized. It's a pity that the siege plan is about to succeed, but I didn't expect that there was another sneak attack by the Sea Clan on the side of Moon Bay Fort, so I had to retreat from Riptide Fort and attack the Sea Clan instead, so that Riptide Fort was released from the siege at once. These days, the Red Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment must have transported a large amount of food to the city, and dredged our clogged Marapute River to regain water. If we besiege the city again, and the city is well fed and fed, we don't know how long this siege will be. And winter is just around the corner, which will increase the logistical supply pressure on our siege. Now that the grassland is not stable everywhere, and troops are needed everywhere to garrison it, this battle of Riptide Fort is not planned for the time being. ”

"In addition, the Sea Clan has not been in the Kou for many years, but at the critical juncture when we were besieging Riptide Fort, they suddenly entered the Kou, hehe, this is worth pondering!"

"Lord Overseer, are you saying that the Red Flame Dragon Mercenary Regiment is in collusion with the Sea Clan?" asked an orc officer in surprise. Read a book

"I'm just skeptical. But if there is really a connection between these two things, then if we can mobilize a Sea Clan Lord to send troops, the strength of this Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group is far stronger than we imagined!"

The next meeting was to determine which orc forces would be stationed at Moonbay Fort. After the meeting, the orc officers left their seats one after another and began to arrange the garrison and retreat of their respective troops. Fingleton was about to get up and leave with the others, but was stopped by the Wolf-Leader Overseer.

"Wait a minute, I still have something to discuss with you. ”

When all the orc officers left, only the Wolf-Headed Overseer and Fingleton were left in the huge council chamber.

"My lord, what else do you need to command?" Fingleton asked.

"The battle of Fort Riptide is inevitable sooner or later. But now I think our understanding of the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group is still too superficial, and we only stay at its strength on the surface. I'd like to send someone to infiltrate Riptide City and take a closer look at the true strength of this mercenary group. "The wolf leader oversaw the army.

"Then I'll arrange for manpower right away. Fingleton replied with a quick reply.

"No need to arrange for anyone else. I'm going to send Blades. He's serving in your legion now, and I'm going to have to talk to you, the legionleader. The Wolf-Headed Overseer said with a smile.

When Fingalton heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "My lord, since Riptide Fort was captured by the Red Flame Dragon Mercenary Regiment, the orcs in the city have fled in large numbers. There aren't many orcs left in Riptide Castle today, and the orcs are also the focus of those mercenaries. You sent the blade forward, the target is a little conspicuous, this is too dangerous!The subordinates mean, it's better to use spies from other races to go to Riptide Castle!"

"Let him go, I want him to have more experience. If the task was not dangerous, then how could he be tempered? After all, he would be carrying the banner of the Ironmane Clan and even the entire Barbarian Claw Tribe. "The Wolf Overseer has no intention of giving up on their plans.

When the Wolf-Headed Overseer was the commander of the Bloodfang Cavalry, Fingleton was his deputy. The two had worked together for many years, and Fingleton knew the character of the Wolf Overseer very well, and knew that if the first persuasion was useless, it was that he had already made up his mind, and no amount of persuasion would be effective.

Fingleton nodded, agreeing to the Wolf-Leader Overseer's dispatch of the Blades. Then he talked about another topic: "After Blade was promoted to squad leader, he has made meritorious contributions in the last few military operations of the cavalry regiment, and I plan to promote him again, do you have no opinion?"

The wolf leader overseer was stunned and asked, "It seems that he hasn't been a squad leader for long, right?"

"Less than three months!" Fingalton said.

"Less than three months later, he was promoted again?" the wolf-headed Overseer frowned slightly.

"We orcs have always valued strength, and we also attach the most importance to military merit. Starting from an ordinary soldier with the strength of a seventh-level warrior, Blade is still the first person I have ever met. Of course, this is also because you ask him to do so, so he will willingly do it. In addition, judging from the military merits he has accumulated since joining the army, it is more than enough to promote him to a squadron leader. In fact, whether it is strength or military merit, I think it is still too condescending to let him be a squadron leader!" Fingleton said his reasoning.
