【Chapter 444】 Boss, they're digging again.
War is the main theme that this world can never escape, and all the efforts made by Qin Song are to serve war. Including the military commanders at the long table, they must also get used to war, and continue to grow in war, so as to become real commanders with military literacy and war wisdom.
"Remember, behind us is all we have now. To fail means to lose everything. Therefore, I grant you permission to use any means, including the setting up of minefields. ”
The range of lethality of mines is miraculous against thick-skinned orcs. In order to be sure, it is absolutely necessary to lay mines, even if they need to be cleaned up in the future, it is a big deal to let Alice sweep the mines.
"Understood. ”
"Alright, that's the end of today's meeting. Ralph, Harald, you hurry up and rush to the front to make the corresponding arrangements, and in a few days, I will go and check it myself. ”
"Yes. ”
After seeing the commander leave, the barracks became busy, and Huon led the members of the special operations company to set off first in a wooden cart loaded with strong armor covered with sackcloth. Ralph and Harald then organized their personnel and called in dozens of new all-metal mines from the armory, and followed.
......
"Despicable, shameless. Stinky and shameless! Cowardly maggots, dishonored scum! A bunch of stinky rats cowering in their burrows, a bunch of demons with evil weapons. ”
Badtooth Forest, fringe zone.
In the humble orc outpost camp, the orc centurion Tamrak with a slanted bayonet scar face was spitting and spitting, and several orc warriors around him were silent.
Half an hour ago, two orc scouts had made a simple disguise and hid in the bushes near the Daotan Wasteland, doing pre-battle reconnaissance.
They found a small group, about sixty or seventy men, all carrying the great iron rods called the evil weapons, carrying many wooden baskets, and then they began to dig holes in place with such a great swagger.
These two orc scouts, both of whom had participated in the previous battle against the Blackstone Collar, were all too familiar with this kind of digging behavior - it was obvious that they were going to set up that terrible witchcraft trap again.
If anyone steps on it, the boom will spiral into the sky.
They still vividly remember that those orc warriors who escaped by luck, even after drinking the blood of the blood cradle, and after the wound healed automatically, they still had to endure endless pain, and finally had to throw themselves into the squirming stomach and report to the ancestors.
In order to solve this mystery, the orc elders vivisected the warriors, and to their horror, they found that there were some small, hard-to-find steel balls and fragments in their internal organs.
Orc warriors are indeed not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death, and death is inexplicable.
Now, despicable humans, start digging again!
Oh, my God!
When Tamrak heard the news, his face turned green with anger.
"Shameless, shameless!!"
With a bang, Tamrak punched a stone beside him, and the scar on his face became more and more hideous and terrifying because of excessive congestion.
After the battle between the Templars and the Blackstone Territory, the orcs took advantage of the fire and seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Templar camp, and won a long-awaited victory, plundering a large amount of flesh and blood resources.
The Worming Stomach ate a rare full meal, and successfully gave birth to six Blood Dire Beasts.
As the orcs regained their confidence and began to assemble at the edge of the forest, ready for a second victory, Blackstone Collar's digging behavior successfully undermined their confidence.
The ghost stuff buried in the ground is simply impossible to prevent.
"Whew, whew. After taking two sharp breaths of air to ease his anger, Tamrak finally calmed down, and the corners of his mouth turned into a sinister smile: "Dig, dig." This isn't the Blackstone Collar, it's the entire outskirts of the Evil Tooth Forest, and I don't believe they can all set traps. ”
......
The next day.
"My lord, they're digging again. ”
Day 3.
"My lord, here they are again. ”
It lasted until the fifth day, and when he heard that nearly half of the entire outer area of the Evil Tooth Forest had been dug in the pits, Tamrak was a little unable to sit still.
Is there an end?
Don't you want money for your witchcraft traps?
"Ahh
You have to find the fighter as soon as possible!
"You continue to scout here, and I will immediately rush back to report the news to the elders. These humans are so hateful that if we don't stop their actions, we will fail!"
Enraged, Tamrak left the outpost and hurried back to the camp to report to the Council of Elders about the despicable actions of the humans.
Elder Ilsa, Elder Molik, and the red-eyed Elder Zuldara also felt great humiliation when they heard the terrible news.
"Did they really dig for five days in a row?" Elder Molik was a first-hand witness to the Black Stone Leader's fiasco, and he knew too well the horrors of witchcraft traps, except for the blood dinosaurs that could barely rush through, ordinary orc warriors were meant to deliver food.
"I think if we don't attack, they're going to dig for the sixth day, the seventh day, and they're going to fill the whole front. Definitely, they will definitely do it. ”
Zurdara has a higher status in the Council of Elders than Ilsa and Molik, and his teacher is a priest of the Black Staff Council, the power of the orcs, and is under the jurisdiction of Zuhenis, the commander of the Eastern Front, and is responsible for the offensive of Daotan.
But he'd only heard Morrick describe the kind of witchcraft traps, but he couldn't figure out one question - that is, witchcraft traps were too cheap, right?
The entire Vicious Tooth Forest is several kilometers away, and all of them are set up with traps, how much does it take?
How did the other party make so many powerful traps?
For this reason, he specifically consulted the Black Rod Council, and those old priests who were over 100 years old, had experienced many wars, and were extremely familiar with the methods of human warfare, also said that they had never seen such a thing.
In the end, only one suggestion was given - to avoid the witchcraft trap zone.
Isn't it stupid to know that there is a trap and go over it?
So, everyone reached a consensus.
The Badtooth Forest is not the Hurek Forest, the edge of the strip is several kilometers long. Anyway, humans who are as timid as rats only dare to come out to dig a pit during the day, so carefully remember the area where they dig the pit and bypass it when attacking, isn't it?
In order to ensure victory, the orcs have been holding back their ultimate, waiting to cultivate enough blood dinosaurs to launch an all-out attack that spares no effort, and complete the battle to completely sweep away the Black Stone Territory, and then transfer the front to conquer Deep Water City with all its might.
But today.
I never expected it.
They really want to trap a few kilometers away.
Is this still worth it?
In the end, the Council of Elders made a decision to immediately abandon the two Blood Dire Beasts that were waiting to be bred, and organize the troops to march to the edge of the area, ready to attack!
......
"Your Highness, the scout reports that the people of the Black Stone Collar have been digging holes in the wasteland on the edge of the forest every day recently, and they don't know what the hell they are doing. ”
In the canyon leading to Daotan Town, a huge fortress made of stone stretches across the center, guarding the path from Daotan Town to Waterdeep City.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, Vanessa, personally guarded the town.
She was reading the Canon in her study with a woolen carpet when a knight in armor knelt respectfully on one knee in front of her.
"Digging a pit?" Vanessa picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat on her white fingers: "Is it to fight against the orcs?"
"I don't know. The knight shook his head: "We have also discovered the movements of the orcs. They were indeed in a massive build-up, and they looked like they were about to attack. ”
"Stop the orcs by digging a pit?" doesn't that sound ridiculous?" Vanessa shook her head, frowning and pondering for a moment: "It's definitely not that simple, is there any other action besides digging a hole?"
"Dig a pit, and then bury something. However, Master Kobraunko ordered that the scouts should not get too close to each other if they did not know who they were or who they were, so as not to startle the snake. Therefore, they can only vaguely see that there are dozens of people digging pits in different places every day, and then burying something. ”
"Every day?" Vanessa became more and more confused, "What is that, did they dig a hole in our last engagement?"
"Nope. ”
"This may indicate that they still have a secret weapon that they didn't use in the last engagement. Vanessa shook her head slightly, stood up and paced a few steps, "Is it to despise us? or is it not time to arrange?"
"Your Highness, do you want to send two clever scouts to check at night, what are they digging ......?"
"No!" Vanessa waved his hand decisively: "The other party's methods are so unpredictable that there is not even the slightest record in the Book of Genesis. If my guess is correct, it must be some kind of trap, and before you know it, you can have unpredictable consequences. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
"Tell the front line scouts not to come close. Just keep an eye on it. As for the traps, someone will show us how useful they are. Step aside. ”
After the knight left the study, Vanessa took out a parchment scroll and a feather pen entwined with gold wire, and sat quietly at her desk.
The first page of the parchment reads - Nightmare Evil.
On the second page, an iron rod is briefly drawn, and the following is marked: a weapon capable of emitting a piercing sound and producing fire, causing damage.
On the second page, a little girl and a stone man are drawn, and the following is noted: A girl who can incarnate as a rock demon, whose identity and abilities are unknown.
On the third page, a little girl and the collapsed golden icon are depicted, with the following notation: Able to paralyze and destroy the golden icon with some special ability, unknown identity, unknown ability.
On the fourth page, there is a knight riding a war horse, and the following is noted: A female knight driving a demon war horse, whose identity is unknown and whose ability is unknown.
On the fifth page, there is a female warrior carrying a large sword, and the following is noted: A female samurai wielding a giant heavy sword, whose identity is unknown and whose abilities are unknown.
Page 6 is blank.
Picking up the pencil and filling it with ink, Vanessa pondered for a moment and drew a hole with a question mark in it.
......
Blockade of the Vicious Tooth Forest, nearly four or five kilometers away, is there so many mines in the Blackstone Territory?
The answer is – no.
Due to the priority of the production of mines, after machine guns, shotguns and cartridges, there was no large-scale production, but a standing reserve of about 200 units was maintained.
Two hundred blockades of four or five kilometers of strip are obviously not enough.
But why do soldiers show up so often?
There is only one reason - psychological warfare.
The pit is really dug, but whether the mine is buried or not depends on the mood.
Anyway, it doesn't cost money to dig a pit.
