Chapter 002: General Cicero

"If your heart sends mercy to the hungry, and the poor are satisfied. and thy light shall be found in darkness, and thy darkness shall be as midday. ”

This sentence said by the elven messenger Annis is very classic.

Therefore, Yang Jiangong continued to accept refugees from the Camelot Kingdom, and in one year, the population of the Lorkadan Kingdom increased more than tenfold. Although this was protested by King Wesley, the Carmellot Kingdom today is no longer the Carmellot Kingdom of a year ago. Not to mention, all the armies of the Camelot Kingdom were tied up in Cross Mountain. Wesley also counted on Lore Cardin to deliver him all sorts of war materials.

As time goes on, the raindrops become scarcer and rarer.

In the afternoon, the positioning teleportation flag, which had been placed in the lord's residence, suddenly shone brightly.

Returning to the Great Glory Space, several reincarnators who had almost disappeared for a year finally 'descended' into this world again.

"Brother Yang, Master Xin, I obviously only stayed in the Great Glory Space for a day, but I didn't expect this world to pass for a year, this is really amazing."

When Li Yixin hugged Fan Bingbing, as well as Zheng Qing and her professors, Cao Feng and his Mary, they appeared in front of Yang Jiangong again, Yang Jiangong rolled his eyes directly, and he was too lazy to take care of them. It can take 'a day' to go back and pick someone up, which is simply speechless. Because he had warned a long time ago, it was clear at that time that one day of the Great Glory Space was equal to one year of this world.

"You ...... Xinye, Sister Qing, you are finally back! ”

Huang Yizhou burst into tears of excitement. Looking at the few goods in front of me who deserted halfway. However, Zheng Qing's reaction was just digging into the back of their heads and smiling awkwardly, and they couldn't squeeze out lovesick tears like Huang Yizhou who hadn't seen them for a year.

"Why did you come back later than Han Bo?"

After the pleasantries. This is what Yang Jiangong wants to ask the most.

Li Yixin looked resentful, and the answer he gave was, "Brother Yang, you don't know how unlucky we are. Han Bo's kid may have only participated in the plot mission once, and he was not automatically sucked into the plot. You don't know, the three of us have gone through the ghost gate again. ”

Yang Jiangong looked at Zheng Qing and Cao Feng, and the two nodded to indicate that what Li Yixin said was true. However, Zheng Qing still added. "It's not that exaggerated, the plot where we entered with a group of newcomers was not that difficult. It's just a martial arts film. For an elderly man like us who has been strengthened, there is no threat to life. Of course, you don't get much Glory Bonus Points in the end. ”

Zheng Minyu immediately interjected curiously, "There is a newcomer again?" ”

Zheng Qing nodded. "There are about 20 of them. With our help, 8 survived in the end. They all stayed in the Great Glory Space. Hey? Minyu. You're so beautiful in armor! I want it too, I want it too. ”

Huang Yizhou turned his head, with a proud look on his face, "Sister Qing, this is not what you want, you can ask for it if you want." Lord Zheng Minyu has become the consul of a small town, ruling over a population of thousands, as well as Shen Sijing. Chai Lingxue, Han Bo them. For more than a year, we have not been idle. You want to wear this beautiful white armor. It also starts with the most basic probationary officer. ”

"You kid won't brag and lie to me." Li Yixin glared and turned to Yang Jiangong for verification, "Brother Yang, is there really such a thing!?" ”

Yang Jiangong nodded, proving that what Huang Yizhou said was true.

As far as the present, the territory of the entire Lorkadan Kingdom, in addition to the Lorkadan City and the Ice Fortress, also successively owns the town of the Onyx River, the town of the Green Shade, the town of Black Mountain, and the town of the Thorn Forest. and around each town, three villages were created.

Among them, Behringer was appointed as the legion commander of the Ice Fortress, Zheng Minyu was the consul of the Thorn Forest Town, Shen Sijing was the consul of the Onyx River town, and Chai Lingxue was the consul of the green shade town. The town of Montenegro, which borders the Kingdom of Carmelott, is headed by Huang Yizhou. As for Han Bo, because he is relatively immature, he can only start by managing the village.

In terms of military affairs, Yang Jiangong relied on talents such as Bahrain, Behringer, Achilles, and Cicero.

Regarding Cicero, a nobleman who was originally a Camelot Kingdom, Yang Jiangong saved his life in Cross Mountain a year ago.

However, due to the loss of two brigades of soldiers in the Kingdom of Camelot, Cicero was originally going to be executed by the king, but in the end, Yang Jiangong used a bottle of elixir to replace Cicero's life from King Wesley, and directly brought him back to Loel Cardin to entrust him with important tasks.

After many tests, in the final analysis, Cicero not only has a third-order swordsman profession, he also has good military talents, and the fiasco of Cross Mountain, the blame cannot be borne by him alone. It is the king who gives orders, and the generals simply obey orders and act on orders. He also didn't expect that there would be a sudden fog that day, and the lizardmen were the orc species that could not be trapped by the fog and could see clearly in the fog.

"Cicero, do you regret letting you give up your identity as General Carmellot and become a centurion of Lorcadan?" Yang Jiangong personally asked Cicero like this.

Cicero's answer, however, was, "No regrets." Regardless of the fiasco of that day, being able to fight for glory is the luckiest thing in my life Cicero. ”

As Cicero said, the current Kingdom of Camelot, due to the looting and infiltration of the beasts, there have been dissent under the civilization of this kingdom, and how many nobles have secretly taken refuge in the orcs in order to save their property and lives.

Even Yang Jiangong couldn't imagine that not long ago, five thousand orcs on foot actually crossed the heavily defended Cross Mountain and appeared under the city of Camelot's capital, Diqiancheng.

As the Orc Emperor gathered 300,000 orc soldiers and drove to Cross Mountain, the war resumed. It has become a fact that the Kingdom of Carmellot has been unable to stop the invasion of the Orcs. As civilization collapsed, evil began to grow in all corners of the Camelot Kingdom.

Not long ago, Grand Duke Moorkin had proposed to Yang Jiangong that he should pay war materials and soldiers. It is better to take over this already decaying kingdom of Camelot together and take over the Cross Mountain War Zone.

……………………

Through the crystal ball of glorious true knowledge, Yang Jiangong inspected the situation in the Cross Mountain war zone.

Yang Jiangong was the first thing he observed. Naturally, it was the army left behind by the Kingdom of Lol Cardin in the war zone.

On the cloud-covered hillside, it was almost a phalanx of bloodied orcs' shields.

Because none of the lizardmen can get close to their formation, and the shield in their hand, all lizardfolk who approach the shield have only one fate, and that is to turn into a dead corpse that can't speak.

Seeing that the enemy had lost the courage to continue fighting, before the remaining lizardmen showed signs of fear and defeat.

Cicero sees his last chance and grabs a lizardman from the ground who has been stabbed and fallen. Snatching its head backwards, swinging his sword to sever its arteries and slash firmly into its hard cervical vertebrae.

The sword was drawn. A scarlet mist of blood followed.

There were three scalp-tingling chopping sounds in a row, and Cicero became ferocious, slashing his short sword three times before cutting off the ugly but solid lizard head.

on the battlefield. There is only a killing machine that never stops. There is no mercy! There is no mercy! There is no forgiveness!

With a hot smell of blood echoing in his nose and a lizardman head still twitching slightly in his hand, Cicero only felt a burst of blood in his veins, as if he had a sense of unfinished.

But as the commander of the phalanx, he must always keep a clear and cool head while the battle is going on.

"General, if the enemy is defeated, will you pursue it."

Hear the report in your ear. Cicero's eyes flashed fiercely, and he quickly glanced at the lizardmen fleeing in all directions. Search for possible bosses.

The hidden crosshair in the perspective kept skimming over one fleeing lizardman after another, until it was frozen on a lizardman who was exceptionally tall and had red tattoos on his thorns, and was also the fastest to escape.

"Hmph, want to escape?"

Cicero threw away the lizardman's skull, grabbed a light javelin from the corpse of a lizardman, and gathered his strength into his right arm.

Between the last breath and the next, the light javelin in Cicero's hand was thrown straight forward.

Keep your eyes glued to your parabola until your target falls to the ground.

"Got you!"

After confirming through a strategic perspective that the target had lost its ability to act, Cicero gave a loud order, "Give up the formation and pursue!" Don't let one go! ”

Hearing Cicero's order, the 300 shield-wielding glorious warriors immediately abandoned their formation, scattered, stared at their respective targets, and kept chasing.

This skirmish has been chased for a long distance, and it is only near the end that the lizard's heads roll to the ground one by one.

"General, kill a total of 380 and catch 23 alive!"

After a while, Cicero received a statistical report from his subordinates, and a total of four hundred and three were killed or captured, which was also a good record.

A cold light flashed in Cicero's eyes, "We have no food to keep captives in captivity, like the rest of the leader, kill the rest, skin and chop the flesh, and serve as military rations!" ”

Issuing such an inhumane military order, in fact, Cicero was also helpless.

King Wesley sent Lorkadan's army to defend the orc-infiltrated paths, but they didn't have the logistics to do so. The food of the three hundred people has long been unsustainable, and for half a month, they have made the corpses of many lizard monsters into jerky to supplement the serious shortage of food.

Because as early as half a month ago, the soldiers had already made a living by digging wild vegetables and boiling grass roots.

It is better to have lizard meat to eat, although it is a little sour, than to gnaw grass like a cow or sheep.

Fortunately, there was a water source in the camp, and no matter how disgusting the food was, as long as it was mixed with a mouthful of fresh water, it could be swallowed.

"Bring my captive!"

Cicero's light javelin, with just the right amount of measure, didn't kill the leader-like lizardman, but only pierced it in the shoulder.

When the two glorious warriors dragged the wounded lizardman to Cicero like a dead pig, Cicero found the fear in the bone marrow of the stout lizardman's golden pupils.

As far as the eye could see, the corpses of the same kind were skinned and deboned one after another, and the sound of the knife chopping the flesh made the lizardman uncontrollably worried, and it would be its turn next.

"Don't kill me, I'm a dazzling nobleman of the Red Stone Tribe of the Great Beast Empire, send someone to tell my father, he will redeem me!"

The leader-like lizardmen struggled there one by one, making demands. Of course, he spoke the language of the beasts, and Cicero didn't understand half of it.

It could only beg for mercy one by one, and it could be seen from Cicero's horsehair helmet and bright armor that the handsome human in front of him held the power of life and death.

Boom......

After a loud bang, the lizardman's eyes flashed with stars, and the lizardman only felt a burning pain in his lizard's cheeks.

"Despicable captives, ugly monsters. Shut that beak of yours! ”

The lizard leader's 'sizzle' strange cry made the half-faced scumbag glorious warrior next to him feel very dissatisfied. Before the commander could speak, the brute was fluttering blindly, which was his own dereliction of duty.

And this heavy punch of the Radiant Warrior was enough to knock out the two fangs of the lizardman.

It was only when Cicero signaled that the two legions of infantry bowed and retreated to attend to other matters.

A brute with a javelin running through his shoulder is not a threat to Cicero, who has a third-order swordsman class and a second-order warrior class.

But there are a lot of tattooed lizardmen, and this is the first time Cicero has caught the presence of a boss figure.

Cicero carried a blood-dripping dagger and walked around the lizardman's body, as if hesitating for something.

And it is this small circle that makes the lizardman feel that this is the longest and most extensive circle in the world.

It made the back of its spine feel a swishing chill, and its whole body was shivering. God knows, this human will not cut off its neck with a sword from behind.

"Spare your life!" The lizardman ignored the pain in his cheeks and begged Cicero for his life again.

Faced with a threat to life, even the most ferocious creatures will wag their tails like pugs and beg for mercy.

However, Cicero couldn't understand what it was saying.

"The language barrier, I don't understand what this thing is saying at all."

"To cut or not to cut?" Cicero stood behind the lizardmen, raising his dagger and lowering it, looking a little hesitant.

Pity for the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and Cicero understands this, there is no doubt about that.

After much hesitation, Cicero decided not to cut off the lizardman's ugly head for the time being.

Since he chose not to kill it, there is only one question left of communication, and although the idea of communicating with the 'animal' is ridiculous, Cicero must consider all the unknown possibilities in the current situation.

"I heard that the elves understand the language of the orcs, so I sent two men to bring this thing to Lorkadan, and handed it over to the king and the messenger of Annis to interrogate it personally." (To be continued......)
