Dane only voiced his guess, and when Chappell continued to ask some questions, he didn't say anything. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Having said that, that's enough, but that's a bit too much.

Silenced, Chappell had no choice but to leave alone.

Dane didn't get up to see him off, he sat in his tent with something on his mind.

Marin said something to Morno, which Dane was almost 100% sure of.

Morno didn't have a pit in his brain, how could he take his troops to his death if there was nothing to attract him? These 1,500 soldiers are all the elite forces under him, and they are the family funds he has saved up in the White Wolf Castle. If it is light, it will also have a great impact on him. At the very least, if the strength of his subordinates is directly lost by half, what else can he do to suppress Ma Long in Shawan Port?

Inevitably, Marin...... Or rather, the Governor of Ozer must have promised him far more tempting terms than more than a thousand elite soldiers, so that he could be willing to go down to his old capital in exchange. As for what exactly this condition is, Dane does not know. Could it be Shawan Harbor? But that's not all. For Morno, after winning this war, with the support of Governor Ozer who was freed from his shackles, it was almost a certainty. It is very likely that the port of Shawan is only part of their agreement, and there are other more important interests, so Dane can't guess.

Of course, General Morno would not tell his men this. If you say that, how can you let the soldiers and officers go to their deaths? After this rush, it was his men who died, not himself, a fourteenth-level barbarian overseer, who was afraid that he would not be able to withdraw on the battlefield?

But most of those soldiers are more than lucky.

It's a bit cruel to do that. Dane didn't have much to say, and the most important thing was to protect himself. He can only do it, let himself not send him to death, Morno's soldiers, if they are not under his control, he can't control them.

Since Morno made this kind of task that requires his subordinates to do this kind of task that requires their lives to be completed in exchange for enough benefits, what can Dane do if he doesn't do this? Shouting to tell all those speculations in your heart? Don't be funny.

Dane saw the frustration between Morno and Marin, and he didn't say it explicitly, this was the tacit understanding between the two people; And when he proposed to be a safer reserve army, Morno did not embarrass too much, and it was also a tacit understanding.

The reason is very simple, Morno wants to trade the lives of his own soldiers for better conditions, that's his own business, don't drag Dane on. Dane doesn't have the kind of selfless dedication that 'you take the benefits, send me to death'. In the previous battles, his performance and the results he had won were more than enough to fulfill the promise made by Morno to Hanhai Castle, and there was no need for him to do more.

Even, being a reserve army is actually a little unhappy, after all, the reserve army is said to be a little risky, but there are still some of them.

However, Chapur personally came over at this time, and he still felt a little unbearable.

This guy was obviously kept in the dark as well, and Morno certainly didn't have anything to do with him. It is precisely because of his pity for Chappell and those soldiers who, like Chappell, do not know that they have been sold by Morno, Dane has some pity. Therefore, now he tried to implicitly mention to Chapur again, as for whether he can understand it himself, and more importantly, whether he can come up with any corresponding solutions, it is none of his business.

……

At noon the next day, after a night of carnival and a rest for another morning, the Eastern Expeditionary Army was ready to set off, and began to advance towards Shizuipo in the west despite the dry wind and winter sun.

Shizuipo is a big pit, and whoever wants to fight the resistance of the orc army there is a ****. However, after all, it is the only way for the orc army to retreat, and approaching Shizuipo is the best way to find the orc army. Moreover, if you don't fight a blocking war there, you can send a small number of troops to slow down the enemy's attack, and it can also be used as an early warning, so why not?

After two days of marching, on the night of the 22nd, the Eastern Expeditionary Army had arrived at a place twenty kilometers away from Shizuipo.

There was no further advance, and as Dane expected, Morno decisively sent some soldiers to prepare to establish an outpost at Shizuipo.

The army sent out first encountered the actions of a small orc force at Shizuipo. The enemy is not stupid, and it is impossible not to send people to rob such a military location. There are even quite a few bipedal dragoons roaming in the sky.

Discovering this situation, Morno decisively sent a force of several hundred people the next morning, led by Chapur, in order to deal with the sky cavalry, he also sent the sword falcon knights in his hands now.

In the afternoon, news came from the front that the seizure of Shizuipo had been completed, and Chapur had begun work on setting up an outpost. In addition, the falcon knights have also driven away the enemy's bipedal wyvern, and have also detected that the orc army is still about two to three days away from Shizuipo.

Morno ordered Chappell to establish at least three lines of defense at Stonemouth to slow down the advance of the orc army. As for himself, he also mobilized his army and began to prepare for some harassment and attack plans when the orc troops passed through Shizuipo.

While planning the battle, the orc overseer also wanted to invite Dane over and let him follow suit. According to Morno, it's okay if you don't make a effort, you can always use your brain, right?

It's a pity that Dane has no interest in this.

He declined Morno's invitation, and replied that he also had to prepare and plan for support and reception, and that he was also very busy with work.

Morno didn't say much, but that night, Dane and his troops of the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment were heading south, preparing to move further away from the intended battlefield, and personally came out to give them a ride.

"I wish the general a victory." As he was leaving, Dane said this.

It was normal for others to hear it, but Morno heard some sarcasm in it. He calmed his face and said, "Everything depends on Governor Ouze, we just cooperate." ”

"Huh." Dane smiled, and suddenly said, "Things won't change in Hanhai Castle, right?" ”

"No, you deserve it, it's yours or yours."

"Then I'll be relieved."
