Chapter Twenty-Six: The Graveyard of the Mountain-Shaking Beast

Thomas poked his head out of the window, looked at Caroline, and said with a smug smile, "My lord, you should know this seal, right?" ”

Caroline's face was expressionless, she carefully observed the token, and then handed it back to the other party: "This is the special seal of the emperor's army, and those who have this token can arbitrarily dispatch an army of no more than 10,000 people, as if His Majesty is there in person."

"It's good that you know,"

Thomas took the seal, his face turned cold, and he said in a commanding tone: "Order the army to the east, camp at 7 o'clock tonight, and set off on time at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, and those who violate the order will be directly executed!" ”

Caroline's expression did not change, she just glanced at Thomas, who had a grim face, and then bowed down to receive the order, and rode towards the front of the group. A small group of knights followed Caroline, the sound of horses' hooves in unison.

Viscount Thomas watched Caroline go away, playing with the heavy seal in his hand, and sneered: "Hmph, you just continue to pretend, I want to see if you can stay tall for a few days!" ”

The curtains were lowered, and there were soon bursts of laughter and panting in the carriage, a piece of spring light, which was in stark contrast to the neat marching procession outside the carriage.

The order was quickly given, and the army changed course and set off for a dark future into the unknown.

Front of the line.

The rain poured down, making a beautiful splash on Caroline's white armor, but at this time Caroline's brows frowned slightly, and her mood was not relaxed.

"My lord, it's not safe to continue east,"

The loyal cavalry captain rode his horse and stood beside Caroline, and said in a low voice, "If the army goes all the way east, it will definitely pass through the Shaking Mountain Beast Graveyard of the Orc Kingdom. It is a forbidden place for the orc kingdom, and if you rush into it, it is likely to alarm the orc army and cause unnecessary conflicts, and the mountain shaking beast graveyard itself is very dangerous......"

"I know this, but Your Majesty's orders cannot be disobeyed, and His Majesty must have a reason for arranging it before leaving." Caroline sighed and said.

"But what orders can't be told directly to you, lord? Does Your Majesty think that Thomas the son of a bitch is more trustworthy than you? Some knights couldn't help but burst into foul language, and said angrily, and the cavalry captain turned around and glared at the other party fiercely, signaling the other party to shut up.

"My lord, the people in the army are panicking now, and if we continue like this, if we run into the enemy, we will probably ......," said the cavalry captain, and swallowed the latter words back into his stomach.

Caroline understood what the cavalry captain meant.

The first thing about morale in army combat is Thomas messing around like this, no matter how strong the soldiers are, they have no morale and no will to fight on the battlefield, and the rout is just a matter of an eye.

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out." Caroline looked at the mountains in the distance, speaking in a small voice, but full of power, which made the cavalry unconsciously feel confident.

"By the way, my lord, Viscount Thomas has sent some more things, which I have handed over to the quartermaster of our cavalry team."

The cavalry captain seemed to think of something, frowned and said, with some anger in his tone: "In addition, there are more than twenty people who have received gifts from Viscount Thomas, and they have all reported to me, as for whether there are any other private collections, I will inquire carefully one by one......"

"I don't need to look it up, I trust them,"

Caroline waved her hand and said with a smile: "Checking these things hurts the feelings of the soldiers, and these small means can't turn the wind and waves." ”

"Yes!" Several people around him said in unison, and the eyes that looked at Caroline's back were full of reverence and excitement.

……

Night falls.

The army just arrived at the periphery of the Shaking Mountain Beast Cemetery, found a high open field, and camped to rest.

From a distance, the terrain in front of the canyon suddenly opened up, and suddenly changed from a sheep's intestine path to a vast plain. The rain curtain between heaven and earth is connected, enveloping many huge shadows in the clearing, magnificent and mysterious.

This is the Graveyard of the Mountain-Shaking Beast.

When night falls, the cemetery begins to show a glittering fire, the big ones are like round shields, and the small ones are like fireflies, hovering low in the sky. The sound of the rain occasionally comes from the mysterious sound of beasts, which sends chills down the spine.

Caroline was alone in her tent, listening to the strange noise coming from the direction of the cemetery, and her pale green eyes showed a hint of worry.

Thomas's behavior is suspicious, it is not a trivial matter for the army to temporarily change its itinerary, just like those subordinates said before, why didn't His Majesty inform himself? After arriving at the Graveyard of the Mountain Shaker, Caroline's uneasiness became more and more obvious.

Thinking of this, Caroline suddenly remembered something, hesitated slightly, but went to the bedside and took out an envelope from under the pillow.

On the front of the envelope table is the words "Opened by Lord Caroline", and the font is handsome and straight.

This is the letter that Yang Shou left for Caroline.

In fact, when Yang Shou left this letter, Caroline was most curious not about what was written in the letter, but why Yang Shou's words were written so beautifully.

Children from civilian families are logically not equipped with enough time and conditions to receive advanced education, but the level of Yang Shou's character is obviously not something that civilian children can write, and even Caroline sighs to herself.

Shaking her head to shake off these thoughts, Caroline carefully ripped open the seal of the envelope.

Thomas's behavior today should be considered abnormal, so let's look at what this guy wrote in his letter.

With Caroline's movements, two stacked pieces of paper fell out of the envelope, with the numbers "1" and "2" written on them. Caroline smiled disapprerovingly and opened the piece of paper with the number 1 written on it.

"Caroline, Your Excellency Lord Bisanhall:

After being separated for a few days, I miss it very much, I don't know if the food in the army is still appetizing, and the scenery is still pleasant on the march? The rainstorm is coming, the autumn is slightly cool, the lord must take care of his health......"

After reading the beginning of the letter, Caroline frowned, Yang Shou's frivolous tone made the female lord very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but be a little annoyed: This Yang Shou, why is he always so out of tune, I used to praise him for being safe, hum!

But seeing the following lines, Caroline's attention was quickly drawn over, and her expression instantly became very focused.

"If Viscount Thomas has now ordered the army to move eastward instead, it means that I am right, please remember my next words carefully, Lord Lord......"

What the? Yang Shou had long expected Thomas to do this!?

Caroline had a shocked look in her eyes, and the degree of surprise in her heart at this moment was no less than the feeling she felt when she saw Yang Shou activate the sword qi.

How could he, how could he have expected such a thing? Is he a mage?

Caroline took a deep breath to calm herself down and began to read every word of the letter carefully.

Yang Shou's letter was written in a very orderly manner, first introducing the situation of the Shaking Mountain Beast Cemetery, and then briefly writing down the details that need to be paid attention to in the cemetery, and Caroline frowned when she saw it.

The Mountain Shaker is one of the symbols of the Orc Kingdom.

This beast resembles a gorilla, but its body is covered with heavy, rough fur, and it is much larger. Not only do they possess unparalleled destructive power, but they also have the ability to cast various spells depending on their bloodline, and their combat power is extraordinary.

There have been some top-tier Thunder Mountain Beasts in history, and they can even fight adult dragons!

However, the Mountain Shaker has a special position in the orc kingdom, in addition to its strength, it is also related to shamans.

Each qualified shaman can choose a beast to become his or her psychic beast, and then be able to communicate with the beast's mind, perform some unique magic spells, and fight alongside it.

Among these beasts, the Mountain-Shaking Beast is undoubtedly the king of them. Shamans with psychic beasts are completely different from ordinary shamans' combat power, so they are very respected.

One of the common characteristics of the mountain-shaking beasts is that when they are about to die, they will quietly rush to the cemetery and enter it to quietly wait for death to come.

The place where the army is about to pass through is one of the graveyards of the mountain-shaking beasts in the orc kingdom. All the Rocking Mountain Beast Graveyards are forbidden places for orcs, and it is forbidden to be disturbed by other intelligent creatures.

Originally, there were wolf cavalry guards and patrols here, but after the disappearance of Wild Heart, the orc kingdom was unable to rule such a vast territory, and this place was slowly deserted.

In the letter, Yang Shou specifically mentioned that he should be especially careful when passing by the Shaking Mountain Beast Cemetery. Each graveyard is home to terrifying undead guarding the graveyard, bone beasts that aren't as vicious as other undead, but show no mercy to those who dare to disturb the graveyard's tranquility.

Outside, the rain grew louder, the thunder roared, and the candlelight in the tent illuminated every word on the letterhead. After a while, Caroline's gaze was withdrawn from the letter, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes.

The next day, the rain gradually subsided, and the field of vision was much wider than yesterday, and the whole picture of the cemetery was revealed to everyone for the first time.

There are remains everywhere, except for white bones and white bones.

For thousands of years, I don't know how many Sky-Shaking Beasts have chosen to end their lives here, and there is a two-kilometer radius of open space, which is full of piles.

These bones were originally covered with sand, and yesterday's heavy rain washed away the skeletons. As far as the eye can see, the hideous white skull, thick arms and ribs are densely piled up, and the original ground can hardly be seen.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers looked at each other, and their hearts were a little empty, and the veteran with seniority knew that this was the Heaven-Shaking Beast Cemetery, and the news spread, and people were in an uproar.

How did you get to this place?

Although the Great Rift Valley is no longer orc territory, this place can be broken into casually?

While everyone was hesitating, the gorgeous carriage, which had always been in the middle of the procession, came to the front of the team for the first time.

Viscount Thomas lifted the curtain and smiled at Caroline at the front of the team: "The Mountain Shaking Beast Cemetery is still a little dangerous, so let's bother the cavalry under Lord Caroline to explore the way~ The cavalry is so fast than the infantry, and it can be returned in time under any circumstances, right?" ”

Caroline tilted her head slightly, saw Thomas holding the seal in his hand, and shook it in this direction.

"Yes,"

Caroline simply agreed, and then waved behind her: "Cedar Town Cavalry, the first and second squads, step forward and open the way!" ”

In the midst of the commotion, a group of knights slowly walked out of the crowd, and the rain gathered on the armor of the knights, flowing down silently, washing the iron armor brightly, the war horses were silent, and the iron horses were silent.

Many people noticed that the hooves of each war horse were tightly wrapped, and they didn't know what the purpose was.

As the cavalry passed by Caroline, the captain of the cavalry led by her bowed slightly to Caroline, and the two sides quickly staggered.

Viscount Thomas leaned his arm against the window, staring with interest at the two teams of knights slowly stepping forward, with a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth: What a cedar town knight, a bunch of guys with only long flesh and no brains.

I tried everything to win them over, but these people turned out to be elm heads, and none of them were enlightened!

Since you don't know what to do, don't blame me for being ruthless.
