Chapter 272: Advance in the dark

Near the Lionheart Nation's grain hoarding base, the forest is dense, and the minotaurs are walking around secretly.

The plate-clad lion soldier's ears pricked up, and he heard unusual sounds, like the sound of orcs rubbing against leaves.

This sound is very small and can only be heard when you are close to ten meters.

"Who!"

The lion soldiers retreated in fright, looking at the silent forest with a wary expression.

The sound of rubbing the leaves suddenly disappeared, and the lionman was terrified, reminding him of the feline assassins of Tomorrow City.

The Assassin will sometimes swoop you in the corner, or he may follow you like a pervert, waiting for the Lion Soldier to turn his head and suddenly slash his throat.

The lion's first reaction when he heard the sound was to meet the people of Tomorrow City, and he was so nervous that he exploded all over his body and yelled loudly, asking his teammates around him to support him.

"Roar!" A lion's roar sounded.

Rustle!

The sound of leaves in front of him was louder again, much louder than before, but the source of the sound was moving away from him, not closer to him.

This bewildered the lion soldiers, which doesn't make sense.

The Orcs of Tomorrow City are very strong, and if the Assassins are discovered, they will try to shoot the lion soldiers with short-barreled flintlock pistols, and should not flee without even fighting.

Could it be that the orcs of Tomorrow City are cowardly?

"Stop, the orcs in front of me will stop!" The lion soldier didn't know which way to smoke, so he actually chased after him quickly.

He was quite familiar with this forest, running more than thirty steps in a row, crossing several horizontal obstacles, and finally approaching his opponent.

It was a massive orc, with granite-like muscles and a fist the size of a casserole.

It's a minotaur!

The lion soldiers saw each other's ears and instantly distinguished the enemy's race.

"When did you send the Minotaurs into the Assassin Division in Tomorrow City?" The lion soldier paused, his expression solemn, his sword in both hands.

The main body of the Assassin team is all cat orcs, and once the Minotaur appears, it means that the opponent may be overwhelmed.

The minotaur was knocked out of his identity, turned around and killed back, wanting to kill the other party, but when he heard the words Tomorrow City, he suddenly stopped.

"Humph!"

The Minotaur glared, thinking that it would not be bad to dump the pot on Tomorrow City, anyway, his mission was just to reconnoitre.

The minotaurs turned and ran again, but the enemy did not dare to chase them any more, because the presence of the minotaurs made them panic, thinking that the time had come for the city of tomorrow to launch a general attack.

Now the commander-in-chief of the Lionheart Kingdom falls on the old general Veblen, Veblen's policy is forbearance, with the main task of preserving strength, followed by reconnaissance of the enemy's movements.

If the other side launches a general attack, Lionheart will definitely find a way to withstand the pressure.

Tomorrow's City has a flaw in that it is highly lethal to large groups, but it is not a good and efficient way to kill scattered enemies.

"I'll have to go back and report that the Minotaur from Tomorrow City has appeared." The Lion Soldier turned back to the woods, communicated with his companions, and left the scene.

The other side.

The soldiers of the Bull Head Country ran for more than five hundred meters without being hit by the pursuers, and after secretly relieving themselves, they were happy at the same time, "It must be one of the strongholds of the Lionheart Country, and the information given by Tomorrow City is really true." ”

The scout returned to his camp and informed the Minotaur General of the matter, who said he understood, and sent two Minotaurs with better spirits to Tomorrow City to formally form an alliance with the Orcs of Tomorrow City and implement the method of information transmission and the frequent transmission of information and other minor matters.

The next day, the ambassador of the Minotaur returned with a more detailed intelligence map.

"How's it going, what's going on inside Tomorrow City?"

"I signed a covenant at their walls, and I didn't go into the city, so I don't know what their city was going to look like, but the walls looked pretty beautiful, the walls were neatly white, and there were a few rows of holes at the bottom, and I don't know what they did."

Ambassador Niu Tou was talking about painted walls, and the wall tiles had been covered with resin paint, so the brick stacked structure could not be seen.

"How high is the wall?"

"Ten meters, Allen City Lord said." The ambassador was uncertain.

"How well are they well armed?" Further questions will always be asked.

"All I see is a steel sword, nothing else." The Minotaur shook his head.

Although the ambassador is an orc who signed the covenant and does not have a strong fighting force, he still has eyesight, and he has not found anything special about Tomorrow City after observing it many times in secret, but he only feels that the other party is very poor, and he does not even have all the plate armor.

The general frowned and asked again, "What do you think of your intuition?" ”

"The other party must have hidden his strength, if he doesn't have equipment, he can't defend the city wall, and it is impossible for the Lionheart Kingdom to abandon Moonlight Valley and bet on Tomorrow City, there must be something inside Tomorrow City that King Lionheart wants very much." The ambassador's eyes twinkled, and he spoke his inner judgment.

"Hmm." The general nodded and said nothing.

Tomorrow City was originally a must-take city, but he just wanted to ask for some useful information, but the enemy was also very cautious, and all the good equipment was hidden.

But it doesn't matter, gnaw down the hard-boned Lionheart Kingdom first, and then annex Tomorrow City.

"Pass on my military order, rest during the day, the reconnaissance team will continue to reconnoiter the terrain, verify whether every path on the map is true, and then attack the Lionheart stronghold at night!"

"Yes!"

Military orders were handed down one by one, and the soldiers who did not go out returned to the camp to rest and recuperate to fight tonight, and the scouts stepped back and out of the camp to continue to reconnoiter and prepare for tonight's battle.

The day passes, and the night falls.

The minotaurs ate their stomachs, gently blew out the bonfire, packed up their equipment, and set out on the road en masse, making their way to the Lionheart stronghold in the dark.

This time it was a night raid, and they prepared flammable arrows to burn their stockpiles of food, while brute force broke the camp, both at the same time.

By the way, since Tomorrow City provides a detailed map of the enemy camp, they save a lot of trouble and don't need to find the location of the enemy's granary, and the archers just need to fire their arrows in the general direction.

After advancing more than 8,000 meters in the dark, the minotaurs entered the large patrol circle of the Lionheart Army, and the Minotaur military division next to the general whispered:

"According to the information provided by Tomorrow City, we have entered the border of the enemy's patrol range, and the enemy's night patrol intensity will not decrease, and it will even increase by about five hundred."

The general slowly pulled out the big treasure knife and said in a humming voice: "That's what you say, but we have to be careful, be careful that Tomorrow City will hit us in turn." ”

Tonight is a temptation, and the fierce attack plan of the Orcs of the Minotaur Country is not only to test the sincerity of Tomorrow City, but also to try to attack Lionheart.

In case the matter is exposed, they will not lose, and according to the dozens of small roads they have detected during the day, there will always be one way to work.

Soon, as they went deeper, they discovered that no Orcs from Lionheart had appeared along the way.

"Did the Orcs of Lionheart discover us?"

The large army of 10,000 people walked cautiously for more than ten minutes, but they didn't meet anyone, and the general couldn't help but be suspicious.

At this time, his subordinates whispered: "Lord General, there are several corpses here, the armor has the royal inscription of the Lionheart Kingdom, and the wounds are still fresh, it should be the orcs who died today." ”
