Chapter 6, Shen Xiang and Addis
"Captain, we found the bodies of some of our companions on the eastern side of the stronghold. "It's the goblin in charge of patrolling who speaks.
While the people in the various colonies were temporarily recuperating, they roamed between the various goblin squads' camps, carrying messages and dealing with emergencies.
On top of the towering mountain bag, there are many utensils made of bones, including a chair made of human bones.
A goblin taller than the other goblins sits on a chair and holds a skull in his hand.
He was resting with his eyes squinted.
"What's the quarrel going on again?" said Goblin Captain Addis without looking up.
It is normal for goblins and goblins to face each other because of some verbal battles.
Usually no one cares about this kind of small contradiction, even if they die because of fighting, no one will be too surprised.
"No, Lord Attis, it looks like those scraps didn't die from cannibalism, they died strangely, more like they were sucked out of their spirit by a lich!"
"Lich?" Artis cheered up, if it was cannibalism, it could only be regarded as an internal matter, and there was no problem at all with a few more deaths, but if it was killed by a lich, it would be a war between races.
In thousands of years, between the lich and the goblins, there have been many people who have killed each other, but this attack on the Terran is a plan for the five clans of the Dark Continent to unite together.
If the Lich does this, it is a violation of the agreement of the Five Clans, and if it is not handled properly, it is likely to destroy the alliance plan.
"How could those dead people be so ignorant, and they still have to make small moves at this time, if I were to find out the truth, I would definitely screw their heads off!" Ardis stood up from the bone chair and waved his hand.
"Go get my knife, and by the way let the patrolmen block the mountains, especially to the east, and I'll be there in no time. ”
"Yes!"
......
Northern country, southern part of the Qibei Mountains.
On a cliff, an old man with gray hair was playing chess, and strangely enough, there was no one on the opposite side of him, and he was playing chess on the left for a while, and then running to the right to continue playing.
It's fun to fight with yourself.
This person is the deputy commander of the Northern Defense Forces, Shen Xiang.
Before the goblin army approached, Shen Xiang had been in retreat in the imperial palace of the imperial capital, and few people had seen the true face of this national teacher.
Originally, there was only one commander, that is, the sword saint Ge Qianqiu, and after Shen Xiang left the customs, he recommended himself to join the defense army. The national teacher was brought back by His Majesty the Emperor on the road of seeking immortality, and where he knew what to fight on the battlefield, the ministers naturally refused.
It was His Majesty the Emperor who overrode public opinion and placed him in the position of deputy commander.
In terms of war strategy, he and Ge Qianqiu took completely two paths, one attacking and the other defending.
Ge Qianqiu lost the first battle and lost the message, and he took over the command.
The Goblin army is going to attack the northern kingdom, and there are three avenues, eighteen drawbridges to the west, Miasma Mountain Gu to the east, and the avenue where they handle it.
The day after the loss of 5,000 elite soldiers, Shen Xiang ordered people to cut off all the suspension bridges, and the embankment burst and flooded the miasma valley, leaving only this one road.
If he could, he would destroy the avenue as well.
"Master National Teacher!"
There was a thick mist in the cliff, and out of the mist came a figure, he was wearing golden armor, and he was a general in the northern country.
"What's wrong?"
"In the goblin formation, there seems to be a movement. ”
"Goblins are coming?" Shen Xiang stopped the chess pieces in his hand.
"No, that's not true, but their patrols seem to be blocking the Qibei Mountain Range, as if they are arresting someone, and the last general thinks that the commander may not be dead yet, or even caught, so he has come to ask the national teacher to send troops out of the battle to relieve the pressure on the commander and let him escape!" said the golden armor general and knelt down on one knee.
Ge Qianqiu is their boss, and he has a lot to do with these generals, and now when he sees the movement of the goblin army, he immediately feels that Ge Qianqiu is still fleeing in the Qibei Mountains.
"He's dead. Shen Xiang said lightly.
"Why is the national teacher so sure?"
"No reason, intuition! Even if he hadn't died, I wouldn't have sent someone to save him. If he hadn't gone his own way, how could the five thousand elite soldiers have died? They wanted to serve their country and resist the goblin army, but they followed the old horseman into the tiger's mouth. ”
Shen Xiang's words were very light, without the slightest hint of anger, as if it was not worth any emotional twists and turns to let this defense army have one less person.
The Golden Armor General listened, his face was red, and he didn't have any rebuttal.
At the beginning, he, like Ge Qianqiu, advocated taking the initiative to attack the goblins at night.
Shen Xiang said, falling into deep thought.
He didn't speak, and the Golden Armor General naturally didn't dare to speak, he just came to report the movement of the Goblin Army, and proposed by the way.
After a while, Shen Xiang sighed: "It's a pity for that kid of the Lu family!"
"The Lu family, the gold-plated boy of the Lu prince's family?" General Jin Jia frowned, his face not angry.
Shen Xiang looked down on Ge Qianqiu, he had nothing to say, after all, Ge Qianqiu had indeed done something wrong, and this was a battle between his superiors and his superiors, and he didn't have much to say about his subordinates.
But what about Lu Xiang? The gentleman in the imperial capital, he was just asked by Prince Lu to gild him in order to let him inherit the title smoothly.
Could it be that at this time when the country is shaken and the country is in danger, Commander Ge is not as good as a useless second generation?
Shen Xiang glanced at him and did not speak.
It's not that he thinks Lu Xiang can play any important role in this war, but that he accidentally discovered Lu Xiang during a previous palace banquet.
This son has a high talent for cultivation, and if he is trained, he will definitely be the future pillar of the northern kingdom.
He originally planned to take him as a disciple after leaving the customs......
"It's over, what should I do, there seem to be a lot of goblins coming, there is only one way out of the cave, we can't escape!" Mo Weili panicked.
She is actually very afraid of death, and the reason why she dares to hunt crocodiles is because she has a lot of nerves, and she thinks that other mercenaries can do it, and she can also try it.
Lu Xiang threw the rabbit meat into the fire, stepped on it a few times, and tried to extinguish all the sparks.
"Don't you know how to swim, go and hide in that river, try not to make a sound. ”
After the previous lesson, he would not just find a stone to hide behind.
As he spoke, he walked over to the Goblin Squad Leader and smiled coldly.
"It's time for you to play a role, keep you, it's not for you to live in vain. ”
The bound goblin captain had a bad feeling in his heart, and he made a whining sound, and his body kept struggling, but it was useless.
Chen An watched him struggle, sneered, turned him over, and bit the goblin team leader's arm fiercely.
Blood flowed out.
