Chapter 44: The Distant Mountain (14)

"Have you confirmed your identity?" Under the heavy arch of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, who was standing at the long table and paying attention to the battlefield situation on the sand table, raised his head and asked. Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Yu Ban, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other generals were also around.

His iron guard, Xu Chu, did not leave the side of the King of Wei, and looked suspiciously at the Assassin Ah Ke in front of him and Zhen Ji, who had just returned.

"I'm not entirely sure that the silver mask has the magical effect of breath blocking, but his blood won't be faked." The blue-robed mage with a graceful figure saluted Cao Cao slightly, and the sweet words seemed to melt into the listener's heart.

"If it's really that blade, it's not easy to do." Yu Ban held his chin, "The Romanian cavalry is gathering, and with our current army, it is difficult to resist the cavalry attack commanded by that person, and the losses are too great to meet with the tiger and leopard cavalry. ”

"The Tiger and Panther Rider will not be used to engage him head-on." Cao Cao shook his head, "They have a bigger mission. Ladies and gentlemen, in the upcoming campaign, we need to increase the depth and breadth of the front, and we need to gather more troops to support the frontal battle. ”

"The ...... of the king" The chief general, Xiahou Yuan, had just spoken, and suddenly flashed forward vigilantly, drawing his sword to guard in front of King Wei.

The generals under the tent drew their swords one after another, and for a while the cold light in the tent was shining.

"Please count us as well." An ethereal voice came from nowhere.

"Before the throne of King Wei, you must not be presumptuous! Quickly appear in its original form! The mountain-like warrior Xu Chu took a step forward and roared, and the waves of qi swept through the big tent, and the clouds of shadow spells burst under this coercion, tearing many magical effects in an instant, revealing several figures immersed in the dark aura.

"Amazing, amazing." The leading creature clapped its hands and concretized, "Breaking the law with bloody qi, I thought this method only existed in legends. ”

The creature spoke with a human-like form, tall and slender, dressed in black robes, and its skin was as red as magma underground. He had a pair of crooked horns on the top of his head, and his eyes were full of confusion and tyranny.

"Demon Lord?" Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren immediately drew their swords and blocked them in front of King Wei

"Two generals, the devil to be precise, the devil is the collective name for our people. In Lower Igos, Lord Lucien sat in the seventh seat, and the commander of the Odessa advance army, "the firstborn devil with two horns bowed to Cao Cao," in the name of Lord Lucian, came to the aid of King Wei. ”

As soon as Igos's words fell, three creatures that also had a strong dark aura appeared. Unlike the demons who had already joined the army besieging Prince Commodus, they were clearly more powerful and chaotic.

"Lord Igos's Evil Demon Leader, Marg."

"Kasma, the one-horned Warlord."

"Pyromancer Leader Octavia."

"I have brought the will of Lord Lucien," Igos looked around at the crowd, "in order to fulfill the alliance agreement with the King of Wei, the demon army of 30,000 will be placed under the command of the King, and in the battle under the castle of Storm's End, he will obey the orders of the King of Wei, in order to take the head of Prince Commodus." ”

"30,000 Demon Army?" The soldiers under the banner of King Wei present all looked serious. Many of you here have fought the demon army in another world for many years, and know that the nature of chaos, brutality, and betrayal has long been in the marrow of this race.

"Very good," Cao Cao's expression was unwavering, "Igos, send your men south, in the direction of Tajin Town, and wait for my orders." ”

"Do the king's will." Igos nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he and the three-headed demon beside him disappeared into the flames and smoke.

"Send the order down and gather the horse thieves and orc wolf cavalry of Odessa and Sevasto to move closer to us." Cao Cao didn't seem to take the demons to heart at all, "In addition, inform Sorge, the orc commander of the Kingdom of Lorraine, to send his army to block Prince Thor's team and prevent him from reaching Lengshan." ”

……

When Cao Cao was arranging his army, the Tianwen team had already found the whereabouts of Prince Thor.

A stream of silver iron rumbled across the prairie. Every soldier is as firm and unshakable as steel. Even when they marched, they were clad in heavy armor, with hammers and daggers around their waists, and iron spears and shields in their arms.

Dozens of pack horses loaded with a large amount of supplies followed behind this group of men and horses, following their masters, slowly advancing towards the distant snow-capped mountains.

This team is the Iron Guard at the Prince's side. They can march in armor, but other supplies can only be carried by accompanying mules and horses, so they are not very fast.

Seeing the Tianwen team and the mercenaries coming, this group of dwarven iron troops immediately changed into a heavy formation, looking at the comers as solemnly as rocks.

Several dwarven guards stepped forward and stopped the mercenaries including Kroger with unkind expressions. Even if the mercenaries were named as a Romanian envoy, they were only allowed to bring one escort to the prince.

"Let's go." Sonia nodded at Xiao Yan, and the two of them walked through the layers of vigilant guards to Prince Thor.

"Your Royal Highness, I am Sonia de Lamour, the eldest daughter of the Lamor family, this is the Knight Griffith Brandon, and we have been commissioned by the Kingdom of Romania and the Senate to ask for His Royal Highness Prince Thor."

Prince Thor sat on a rock with a sword in his right hand. He was handsome and extraordinary, and just sitting there exuded the aura of a feared superior. The prince nodded to Sonya, "I've heard of it for a long time, Miss Lamour. I have heard of the heroic deeds of you and the Lamor family against Beamon under the city of Odessa, and I hope that you and your retainers will stand in my ranks against the dragon in the battle to recover Cold Mountain. ”

"Your Highness's wish is our action." Sonia curtsied, smiling as she listened to Prince Thor's words, she had expected the prince to continue, but she didn't expect the prince to say anything after he finished fighting the dragon.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Didn't you mention the reward for our efforts against the dragons?" Xiao Yan glanced at the prince a little strangely, and said in the team channel, "Does this prince think that we are his courtiers?" ”

Since the distance is not far and does not exceed the range of team communication, the team members of Tianwen are listening with their ears pricked up in the team channel.

Sonia nodded slightly, and said to Prince Thor, "With the dragon Angmar occupying the cold mountain, I don't know what strategy His Highness is going to implement?" ”

"I have gathered the armies of the dwarven tribes and ordered them to assemble at the foot of the cold mountain." "Then we started from the lower levels of the Cold Mountain and gradually swept away the robbers who had taken over our homeland, and finally drove Angmar out of our homeland. To accomplish this, I have enlisted all human warriors and mages on the continent of Lorraine to join my army in this expedition. ”

"Your Highness, Romania is experiencing a rebellion, and our Prince Commodus is besieged at Storm's End." Sonia said as she noticed the expressions of the guards and mages beside Prince Thor, and found that they showed a very strange calm demeanor, "Our army is gathering towards Storm's End, and if we can get the fire support of 5,000 Earth Spirit troops, this war will be put down in a short time." Once the siege is over, Prince Commodus will personally lead the most powerful knights and mages to assist His Highness in his fight against the dragons. ”

At the side of Prince Thor, an old dwarf with a white beard and white hair seemed to have finally waited for his chance, and walked up from the side, "Honorable Miss Count, I am Tolkien, the council advisor, and this warrior is Lord Barto, the chief warrior. I am 390 years old, and Romania and Lorraine were already staunch allies when I was young. ”

"Your Highness, the suggestion of the daughter of the Count de la Morr is not unreasonable." Advisor Tolkien turned to his prince and said, "Angmar's power is not something that thousands of armies can fight against, but if we can gather our strength with the human prince and the court mage, we will have a high chance of victory." I propose to accept the Count's Daughter's offer to send the navy to open up the sea communications at Daronmere, and to provide army and fire support to Romania. ”

Barto, the dwarven warrior on the side, also walked out: "Lord Tolkien's opinion is reasonable. The recapture of Leng Mountain will not happen overnight, and it will take time for the armies of all races we have gathered to assemble; The wolf cavalry of the orcs has been roaming our neighborhood for the past few days, and I fear that the Guards will fall into their ambush if they go any further. ”

Xiao Yan listened to the wise advice of the two, and his stomach was filled with bitterness on the spot.

Tolkien and Barto's suggestion was undoubtedly a sensible and prudent suggestion, but they had been waiting for this moment for a long time to make it at this time. Combined with the lifeless expressions of the two before, the conclusion is about to come out.

That is, Prince Thor would not take this advice, and both Tolkien and Barto had already advised the prince and refused, and this was the last desperate effort to take advantage of Sonya's proposal.

Prince Thor's expression became extremely gloomy, as if a dark cloud of thunder and lightning had accumulated.

"Nope."

"The strength of the bandits occupying the cold mountains is increasing every day, and the kingdom of Lorraine, which does not have the heart of the mountains, has no spare strength to help Romania." Prince Thor said coldly, "Commodus can't even guarantee his own safety, how can he help us fight against the Angmar Dragons." ”

Tolkien and Bartow bowed their heads gloomily. Sonia looked at Prince Thor in surprise. The dwarven prince's speech was illogical and irrational, like a child who had been robbed of his toy.

"Your Royal Highness." Xiao Yan realized that the negotiations had reached an impasse, and now was the time to make a little concession, "I am Griffith Blanton, and I propose to Your Highness as a warrior that in order to avoid the danger of the army being attacked by dragons when it is not prepared, can we try to recapture the Heart of the Mountains with a small number of elites, and then assist Prince Commodus to relieve him, and finally retake Cold Mountain with the cooperation of the two countries." ”

Prince Thor fell silent, and after a moment said, "Griffith, I've heard your name, you did well in the battle of the Fireplace. For the sake of you, you're also a warrior, well, I can provide you with 2,500 soldiers and heavy equipment, but first, you need to help me get to the Heart of the Mountains. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Prince Thor finally softened his words, Lord Tolkien's expression also looked a lot better.
