Chapter 365: Ambush

When Hathaway returned to the Mage Tower, it was already late at night in the Titan world. Even for Hathaway, the experience of this month has been somewhat exciting, especially the battle in Temple Mirage...... Although it is a fantasy, the battle is real, and if it weren't for the fact that she has an almost inexhaustible supply of mana, I'm afraid that one battle would have been enough to knock her back to her original form.

After hastily arranging the banshee's quarters, Hathaway returned to her room, where she had wanted to study the Barbarian Crown again, but as soon as she sat down on the edge of the bed, she felt a wave of sleepiness hit her, and she was not paying attention, and she actually fell asleep on the bed with her clothes.

Hathaway woke up at noon the next day, and Hathaway was awakened by a burst of aroma, and when she came to the hall, she saw that a fragrant breakfast was already on the table...... She knew that this Khotan was made by Iona.

Although it was safest to hide in the fairy garden to rest in the wilderness, she was afraid that she would miss a good opportunity to exercise...... The more difficult and difficult it is, the more successful it is. The more she rests in a dangerous environment, the more she is able to exercise her senses, so unless it is a special case, Hathaway will definitely not enter the fairy garden during the expedition.

Ilona certainly didn't know when Hathaway would return, but she must have been keeping an eye on the place, and when she knew she was back, she immediately prepared breakfast.

Hathaway smiled, took a few sips of the breakfast on the table, and entered the study.

The management of the territory is very formal, although it cannot be said that there are many talents, but it is still possible to do their own responsibilities, especially the group of young people trained in the base. They have entered the various institutions of the territory and are engaged in the most basic work...... Not all people are suitable for being a warrior or mage, after basic training, they will be trained according to their respective suitable professions, and less than one-tenth can actually enter the special combat team.

In addition to Hathaway herself, only Ilona can come in the study room of the Mage Tower, because most of the texts are reports of various departments, and there are not many texts that really need her signature to be able to deal with, and Ilona puts these texts in categories, which seems very convenient.

Nearly now, Hathaway is most concerned about two reports. One is Cecia. Hughes's report from the intelligence agencies. The other is the report on military operations in the province of Zimbuwe. So after reading the intelligence, she picked up the report of the recent military operation.

"Interesting, it's time to take action against the city of Marreton." After reading the report, Hathaway's eyebrows twitched slightly.

This operation was planned by them for a long time. Just trying to find an appropriate time – to know. Orcs though are muscular. But that doesn't mean they're stupid, and if Lancastes City rushes into implementing this plan, it won't even be recognized. That won't be fooled. However, after Lancastes City became a material transfer center, there was a reasonable explanation for Operation Qiē, and the implementation of this plan was naturally a waterway.

"Hathaway, you're not at ease?" The veteran asked suddenly.

"No, I have nothing to worry about." Hathaway replied indifferently.

She had reason to be calm, the well-built special forces were all in Lancastes City at this time, and the shadow king under her command, Stilwell. Pang Sen, Bi Lin. Hegel, Aria. Fogu, both in Lanches City, there are three golden warriors who have made a move, and I believe that Marretton City will not be able to protect even if it is an iron wall.

"And what's next for you?" The veteran asked.

"Visit the neighbors." Hathaway said.

"Neighbors...... You mean the barbarians? The veteran reacted.

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside." Hathaway said.

However, there were still some things to deal with before that, and the negotiations between the Cordillera Collar and the royal family were basically unanimous, and the Cordillera Collar provided the royal family with 4,000 magic rifles - including some of the equipment they had replaced, 10,000 floating backpacks, 10,000 bursting grenades, 10,000 incendiary grenades, and 1,000 gas masks, totaling more than 100 million gold carats.

Of course, Petro, who was in charge of the negotiations. Hughes refused the other party's request to buy technology, although there are more powerful alchemists on the Empire's side, and sooner or later they will find a way to make these new weapons, but whether the power can be guaranteed to be the same as their products, is unknown, and most importantly, Hathaway's design concept is always ahead of them, and it is not easy to catch up.

In addition to the royal family, there were also other lords...... Even the Grand Duke of Cassef sent someone to contact him. According to Hathaway's instructions, Hughes raised the price, controlled the quantity, sold part of the old goods in stock without pain, and quickly recouped the funds to make new products.

While Hathaway was actively preparing for contact with the barbarians, Barthes. Willie and the others finally started to act-

Late at night the day after the news was released, Barthes. Willie then appeared at the designated place with the 'legendary' huge transport team...... Tonight the sky is shrouded in an uneasy shadow, and the moon is not visible.

"Stay vigilant."

The shouts of one of the leading officers came from the front of the group. In order not to show their feet, the soldiers did not know that it was a premeditated trap...... In essence, a large part of these soldiers were released from prisons, in addition to some of them were regular city defense forces, and they were told that they could clear their lives with military exploits. Although this kind of behavior is not very glamorous, it is not something that can be done in extraordinary times, and it is not just the people of the Cordillera who do it.

The trucks were really loaded with supplies. In fact, they are a real convoy. Although it is very likely, no one is sure that the orcs will take the bait tonight. If they don't show up, the convoy will be delivered to Salem as scheduled.

The evening breeze blew gently, shaking the leaves on the roadside and making a fluttering sound. Barthes. Willy subconsciously looked around, trying to find the trace of the orc.

"Will they show up?"

Follow in Barthes. Alia next to Willy. Fugu whispered to himself, "If those orcs show up, when will it be?" What location? ”

"Are you talking to me, sir?" A soldier walking next to her looked at her quizzically. The soldier who respectfully called her 'Lord' was forty years old. Not very tall. On his head, whose muscles were already slightly loose, there were already signs of defeat. Such a person was treating me with great respect, with the same attitude as an elder, calling dwarf girls 'Adults'.

It's not funny.

If there had been no war, he would have been an ordinary resident of a city, and at the end of a busy day's work, he would go to the tavern for a drink, and the men he was already familiar with would affectionately call him 'uncle', and then wipe the table for him diligently, and put a glass of ale in his hand, which is life. It's the right life that people want.

What turns the world upside down. Let a person who is supposed to live a mediocre and happy life accept this life that is not meant to be his? Is it the greed of the people that leads to this war, or does the war make people greedy?

"Nothing. I was thinking, the weather is fine today, and it's time to harvest wheat and make fresh ale again. "Alia. Forgu steadied himself on horseback. He said kindly to the soldier.

"yes. My lord. Now is the time. At this time, my wife must be harvesting. The weather has been nice lately, there is no rain, and there will be a good harvest this year. There was a hint of joy in his voice.

"Then you have to treat your wife well." The dwarf girl actually played a joke with an ordinary soldier at this moment.

The older soldier blushed. He bowed his head and said nothing, causing a small laugh from the soldiers around him. However, while Alia. Fogu was still a new adult among the dwarves, but she was several times older than the soldier, and no one said anything about her, even if she was teasing.

"How many children do you have?"

"Four, the eldest is twenty-four, and he is a son." As soon as he talked about the child, the soldier's face suddenly turned red.

"That must be an amazing guy." Alia. Faugu took out a beautifully crafted dagger from his bosom and handed it to him, "This is what I gave him, sue him, this is his father's reward for his bravery on the battlefield." ”

“…… Thank you, Your Excellency. The soldier looked at the dwarven girl gratefully, respectfully accepted the gift, and carefully carried it in his arms. The soldiers around him looked at him enviously, and several young soldiers wanted to borrow the dagger from him, but he rebuked and refused...... The weapons created by the dwarves can definitely be left as family heirlooms for ordinary people.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Get ready for battle, enemy attack! The scout in front suddenly sounded the alarm, and all the soldiers immediately became nervous, they were not elite, and it was good that they had not thrown down their weapons and fled without throwing down their weapons.

At the front of the team, a group of dark shadows was closing in on the convoy at a very high degree. The weapons in their hands reflected a faint cold light, and the thirst for blood flowed. The sound of arrogant whistling continued to come out of their mouths, adding a murderous aura to the gloomy night. It's the wolf cavalry of the orcs, that's right, it's them, they're finally here.

"Attention of the whole army, the vehicles come forward, the spears defend!" Barthes. Willie commanded calmly.

According to the original deployment, the convoy would have to put up some decent resistance before abandoning the supplies, or risk arousing the suspicion of the enemy. At the same time, this is also to allow them to arrange the next ambush - after all, Barthes. Willy: They weren't sure where the orcs would appear, so they had to delay as long as they could. And for unwitting soldiers, this means they have to survive a hard-fought resistance...... And sacrifice.

In an instant, the wolf knight had rushed into the array of human soldiers. The improvised spear formation didn't make much use in the dark night, and when the panicked soldiers stabbed their spears into the unknown darkness, the swords in the hands of the cunning wolf knights were already stained with the blood of the human soldiers, and they 'whined' and treated the human soldiers as cruelly as slaughtering animals.

The human soldiers who were attacked were not without resistance, and they used the chariots and horses to keep the wolf knights out, spears, bows, crossbows, stones, and ...... Anything that could help them was put to good use, sounding the death knell for those who were unlucky with the orcs. In the midst of the chaos, Birin. Hegel slashed the wheels of the cart and stabbed a sword into the buttocks of the horse pulling the cart. The horse neighed and ran into the darkness, the exclamation of an unknown soldier in the direction it was running.

"Let the horses go!" Bi Lin. Hegel shouted, "Let the horses stop them!" ”

As a pirate, it is easy to use this method of confusing the enemy.

'Let the horses stop them', you may understand it that way, but it's not Bilin. Hegel's true intentions. In any case, her orders were well carried out, and all the cattle were freed from their heads, and then they rushed to the wolf cavalry covered in wounds...... These poor animals were scared mad by the wolves.

Actually, Bilin. Hegel didn't know how effective they were, but she thought that for the wolf cavalry, such a defense might be able to hinder their progress a little, but it would not do much to help the defeat of the battle.

Bang!

There was a violent jolt from Bi Lin. Hegel's left arm passed over, and in an instant, a great sword was flicked off by the golden ring. In Bilin. To the left of Hegel, a wolf cavalry was holding a scimitar aloft, and once again headed at Brynn. Hegel cleaved. She swung her sword and struggled to block the blow, and then swung her sword diagonally, cutting off most of the wolf horseman's head at once.

At this moment, a wolf cavalry rushed out from behind her, and a golden ring suddenly lit up on his body, and his scimitar was aimed at Bi Lin. Hegel swung it, and a crescent-like blade flew out of the scimitar.

Bi Lin. Hegel was a little caught off guard, and although he swung his sword in time to block it, the other party had already ridden and pounced, and the long sword was pointed at her eyebrows...... This knife seems to be irresistible, once the douhuan is broken, Bi Lin. Hegel is finished.

"Get out of here!"

Just in Lian Bilin. When Hegel felt that he was not dead and peeled off his skin, there was a sudden shout from the side, and a short and stout figure flashed out from the side, and the man replaced Bilin with the short sword in his hand. Hegel blocked the fatal blow, and then rushed at the wolf cavalry, plunging his short sword into the wolf horseman's legs. The wolf cavalry howled in pain, slashed the man in the face with his backhand, and then could not bear the pain and fell to the ground. Bi Lin. Hegel struggled to his feet, sprang to the orc's side, and plunged his sword into his chest.
