Chapter 55 It's been good water these days
The eastern sky had just turned white, and when the stars were still dotted on the starry sky, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the silent night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the meadow shook more and more, a squadron of cavalry, no more than five hundred, suddenly tore through the darkness of the night and galloped across the plains of Lydia like a violent wind.
The plains of Lydia, which had entered autumn, were no longer full of verdant green, and the withered yellow hay flew through the air after the cavalry had galloped by, leaving a long trail behind the cavalry.
Against the cold wind that blew like a knife on her face, Joanna looked up at Zachary, who was silently leading the way in front of her, the day after they left the fortress. After meeting with Prince Scrooge yesterday, Zachary didn't say anything to them, and after a night's rest, he set off with them in the darkness of the night.
Seeing the back of the man in front of her, Joanna sighed in her heart, no one knew Zachary's origin except her, although Zachary also told her some things about his previous life, but Joanna still couldn't understand why Zachary did this.
Because from some of Zachary's words, it seems that Zachary is a visitor from another world, not an aboriginal of this world, although she doesn't know what a player is and what an NPC is.
But such a visitor who does not belong to this world actually has a huge obsession with this world, whether it is in Zachary's usual training for her, or in his performance during this time, his steps have been in a hurry because of the pursuit of the future fate behind him.
"Zachary." A crisp sound broke the silence in the ranks, and there was no sound of wind in the night except for the sound of horses' hooves.
Zachary didn't speak, just turned his head to look at Joanna who called him, and asked her what she wanted to say with her eyes.
"I just wanted to ask where we're going." Joanna looked up at her surroundings, and although it was still dark, Joanna could still see some of it vaguely.
The turf under their horses' hooves had become more yellow, which meant that they were heading north, and the farther north they went, the colder the climate became, and the winter came earlier, so the turf was more yellowish than on the fort.
Looking at the withered yellow turf under the horse's hooves, Joanna's heart was full of doubts, and she asked Zachary in front of her in confusion: "We are heading north, looking at the surrounding environment, we are afraid that we have already entered the territory of the orc kingdom, too deep into the orc territory will not cause an accident." ”
Hearing Joanna's worried inquiry, Zachary squinted his eyes through the layers of night, carefully probed his surroundings to determine his approximate location at this time, and replied to Joanna, "No, we have bypassed the orc defense line and are almost behind the orc army." ”
Zachary's answer made Joanna's heart startled, and she hurriedly looked at the surrounding environment carefully, at this time, the white of the fish belly in the eastern night sky had become bigger and bigger, and a bright white had appeared on the eastern horizon, through these faint lights, Joanna saw black shadows on the ground in the distance, which was a hillside with endless faces.
These small slopes are rarely seen on the plains of Lydia, and it seems that they have indeed penetrated deep into the territory of the orc kingdom and circled behind the orc camp, but what Zachary brought them here to do, Joanna's heart became even more puzzled.
Just what can these five hundred of them do, raid the orc camp from behind, don't joke, they let the five hundred people rush into the orc camp and there is absolutely no return.
However, although Joanna has not been in the army for a long time, she also knows that now is not the time for her to ask Zachary's purpose, her suspicions will make the soldiers who follow behind lose confidence in their hearts, they have been led by Zachary to the back of the orc army, if there is a situation of demoralization at this time, it will definitely be a bad scene.
Seeing the golden light in the eastern sky, Zachary became a little anxious in his heart, and he wanted the war horse under his crotch to run faster, but he knew that this was already the fastest speed of the army, and if he went fast, it would cause damage to the war horse, so he could only suppress the impatience in his heart and not show it on his face.
Yesterday's meeting with the third prince of the Orc Kingdom, Scrooge, before the game, made Zachary suddenly remember that in the previous life, the northern border defense line of the Lena Kingdom was the first to be breached, not the eastern city of Alonia, but the most difficult fortress of Bayer, which was considered impenetrable.
In the previous life game, three months after the outbreak of the Battle of the Star and Moon, an orc army suddenly appeared behind the fortress of Bair, and this orc force crossed the mountain range cut off by the fortress of Bair, which was a sudden attack from behind, which caught the defenders in the fortress by surprise, and only the 12th and 4th legions successfully broke through.
But the price of this success is the fall of the barrier of the Northland border, the fortress of Baier, when the most important fulcrum of the defense line was breached, the defense line built by the military of the Reiner Kingdom was completely broken in just one month, and countless heroic and combative Reiner soldiers were left on the defense line, resulting in the strength of the Reiner Kingdom army, which lost a large number of elite soldiers behind, and was powerless to resist in the face of the advance of the orc army.
Perhaps after several counties north of Reiner were taken by the orcs, if they cooperated with Scrooge, the orcs would stop advancing, but Zachary did not want such a truce, because such a truce would require one-third of Reiner's territory in exchange, and the lives of nearly 100,000 Reiner soldiers in exchange.
So after remembering this, Zachary hurriedly led his squadron around the back of this orc army in front of the fortress of Bair.
Calculating the time, it will not be a few days before the time for the orc surprise attack force to set off, and it will take about half a month to cross the mountain range, and the whereabouts of the orc force in the territory of the Reiner Kingdom are extremely easy to be exposed, so the orc force will definitely launch a surprise attack after crossing the mountain range, just after taking a short rest.
Zachary thought about returning to the fortress and reporting directly to the generals in the fortress, but who would believe him, he had just arrived at the fortress with his own soldiers, how could he explain the source of his news.
So Zachary knew that he could only risk taking his troops around the orc army and coming behind the orcs to find the whereabouts of that force, even if he didn't catch that force, as long as he found a little trace of the orc troops, he could go back and report it, saying that he had reasoned it himself.
It's just that he can't tell Joanna about them, so he can only silently lead them to orc territory.
The cold air entered his lungs with a deep breath, and Zachary's body couldn't help but shake up, his attention was always on the lookout, this was orc territory, he had to be very careful, otherwise instead of catching the whereabouts of that army, it would be easy to put his own soldiers here.
I hope I can change the fate of the Bair Fortress when it was breached......
