Chapter 30: The Expedition
Roland savored his father's declaration, which contained many details that he wanted to say but was too embarrassed to say because of "political correctness", and the connotation was quite rich. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rudolph turned around and asserted in front of everyone: "The overall strategy is so decided, I need a specific battle plan, including the most comprehensive information about the orcs, the plan span is set for half a year, specific to the week, within three days, no matter what method you use, you must get it for me." As he spoke, he tapped his middle knuckle and tapped on his desk.
Mage Merlin touched his gray beard and muttered, "If you want to avoid the main force of the orcs and eat a small force, the key is to ensure that the information is comprehensive and reliable. ”
Yevgenia nodded and said, "I'll figure out a way to make sure that I won't make a mistake." ”
Rudolph looked at the giantess and his gaze was extremely soft: "Logistics and intelligence can't be delayed, your burden is very heavy, don't go out with the army this time, with you in charge of the Fort of Atonement, it will help us even more." ”
Evgenia obviously expected his arrangement, nodded her head, and said softly: "Let Lyudmila go, if you force those who stay with her, her heart will not be at peace." ”
Rudolph glanced at Roland, looking inquiring.
Roland scratched his hair embarrassedly, met the eyes of his father and Evgenia and confessed: "I told Lyudmila that she is willing to partner with me." ”
Yevgenia smiled tacitly and said softly: "Don't say anything superfluous, I believe you will become a good pair, I look forward to your triumphant return at home." ”
Three days later, early in the morning.
A cavalry regiment of several thousand men quietly left the Fort of Atonement and embarked on an expedition.
Pavel and Alexei each led a group of rangers to explore the way, and Rudolph led the Black Guards, which he had spent ten years building, with the military priest Boris and the mage Merlin by his side.
Evgenia stayed behind in the Fort of Atonement, and the 300 Far Eastern Rangers originally commanded by her were also incorporated into Rudolph's banner, and together with 500 Black Guards and 200 Battle Priests, they formed the well-known "Kolas Legion" in the Far East.
Roland appeared in the marching procession wearing the title of second lieutenant and judge of the Kolas Army, wearing a full set of stainless steel armor, a black horse on his hip, a cold iron sword "Great Defender" at his waist, and an oak-covered iris shield hanging from the side of the saddle, which was attached to the end of the line with his colleagues from the other gendarmerie to supervise the discipline of the march, nominally to prevent desertion, but in fact everyone's morale was so high that there was no need for this.
Riding side by side with him was Lyudmila, who wore a women's cuirass, a saber and a bow, and was heroic, she gave up the great opportunity to serve as the deputy commander of the Ranger Battalion, and came to the gendarmerie to fight, as the only female military judge in the whole army, adding a touch of color to the serious gendarmerie, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what kind of mentality this Nizi is.
Roland looked at the giantess beside her, and reconfirmed her basic attributes with the help of the "Pupil of Destiny", and couldn't help but secretly complain: "This girl is simply wonderful, I will endure it with a strength of 26, after all, the purebred Yanma is 18 years old!" Lyudmila, are you so agile that you are worthy of your giant blood? ”
At this moment, a black dot flew in the air, quickly from far and near, and landed on the shoulder of Mage Merlin, but it was an owl.
"Let's go over and see." Roland had a premonition that important news was coming, so he pulled Lyudmila and urged the horse to go straight to the front army.
When the two arrived, the old mage was caressing the owl, closing his eyes and groaning, as if he was engaged in some kind of mysterious psychic communication with the demon pet.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Thirty miles ahead, an orc camp has been found, and the squadron of rangers led by Pavel and Alyosha is monitoring the forest, and the other party is not aware of it. ”
"What about the enemy's strength?" Rudolph asked calmly.
"The main force of the orcs was not found in the camp, so it can be seen that the news that Yevgenia deliberately released it the day before yesterday has reached the ears of the orcs: the other party is convinced that our army is advancing to the north, and taking advantage of the weak defense of the Fort of Atonement, leaving the women and children to plunder."
"Hmph, I'm afraid Philip is already regretting letting us go." Rudolph turned back and instructed Lyudmila, "Tell the Ranger Battalion to shoot down all the pigeons you see when you see them." ”
Lyudmila was stunned for a second, then clenched her fists and said, "Obey!" After that, he was not in a hurry to give the order, and leaned into Roland's ear and asked: "Is your father mistaken, his own carrier pigeon is also going to shoot?" ”
Roland couldn't help laughing, and reached out to twist her ears: "Silly girl, it's your own pigeon that shoots!" Will not be affected by the king's life outside, don't care so much, let you shoot and shoot, you don't need to take the blame if something goes wrong. ”
"You're not worried about the safety of the Keepnap?" The giant girl asked unwillingly, after all, her mother was still at home.
Roland touched his nose, to be honest, as an outsider who has not traveled to this world for two months, except for Aunt Yevgenia, he really doesn't care much about the life or death of the others in the Fort of Atonement, and with Evgenia's strength, even if the city is breached, he can escape with certainty, so what does he have to worry about?
However, this kind of cold words could not be said to Lyudmilamin, so he had to patiently explain the facts and reason to the eldest girl who cared about the chaos.
"The walls of the Fort of Atonement are high and deep, there is more than enough food, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can it be so easy to be attacked by the orcs?"
"But the north gate was breached last time!"
"Last time, it was because the knights in the city were negligent in their duties, and they didn't strengthen their vigilance when they discovered the movement of the orcs, and they gave an order to the militia battalion outside the city to support the city defense and retreated back to the castle, they should eat, they should sleep, they didn't care about the city defense at all, and they all threw it to the militia to wipe their butts, and now that we are gone, how dare Krautz and his men be so unscrupulous? Even if they want to be lazy, the archbishop will kick them in the ass. ”
Lyudmila's eyes were still uneasy: "Is that group of young master soldiers okay?" ”
"The young master soldier is also a real holy warrior, in the past, there was our militia, they had the capital to be lazy and slippery, they seemed very incompetent, and when they had to play with their lives, they couldn't underestimate others, and the rabbit was in a hurry and bit people."
Roland had such a judgment because he had been to the Temple of Light and had used the Pupil of Destiny to spy on the members of the Far Eastern Knights at close range.
"Five hundred knights have the strength of level five or above, and the regimental commander Klautz is even more than seventeen levels, not much worse than Rudolph, even if this army has been out of battle for a long time, it is enough for the orcs to drink a pot, not to mention that there is Philip, the quasi-legendary archbishop, and his direct priest group are in charge, and the massive magic is smashed down, and the orcs have no chance of winning at all."
"So there are some things that are afraid of seriousness, the governor and archbishop of the dignified province, if he is ruthless against the orcs, how can those stupid greenskins have a chance to kill into the city and cause chaos? In the past, I didn't take it seriously, it was nothing more than that it didn't involve the vital interests of the archbishop, plus the militia cannon fodder for us was very easy to use, and it was not in vain. ”
