Chapter 54 The only thing a man can rely on is himself
Looking at Scrooge's back slowly disappearing from sight, Zachary withdrew his gaze, turned his head and found that the soldiers were all looking at him silently, he knew that his subordinates were wondering why he wanted to meet with the orcs, even if the other party was the third prince of the orc kingdom and had a noble status, but now he was also the enemy of their Leiner kingdom, wasn't it.

Zachary didn't say much, wordlessly turned over and jumped on the war horse, and after driving the war horse through the soldiers, he gently kicked the war horse and rushed back to the small hillside, the battle in front of the Bair Fortress was not over, ready to continue watching the battle.
After a few moments, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him, and the corners of Zachary's mouth turned slightly when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it seemed that his soldiers chose to believe him, although they did not understand why they were meeting their enemies.
"Squadron Leader Zachary." Amy's distinctively clear, high-pitched voice rang out behind Zachary.
"What's wrong?"
Amy's lips tightened slightly, and after a little hesitation, she opened her mouth to ask, "Why did you choose to meet with the prince of the orc kingdom, is it really to prevent the war from continuing?" ”
Turning his head to meet Amy's exploratory and hesitant gaze, the corners of Zachary's mouth lifted, "Then Amy, why do you think I want to meet the orc prince?" ”
"I don't know, but Captain Zachary, you're just a squadron leader, and we're just a squadron of cavalry, even though our cavalry is usually better treated than those infantry soldiers, but I never thought we had the qualifications and strength to stop this war."
"Or, Captain Zachary, you have another way, or you want to betray ......"
Amy's words were not finished, but everyone knew what he was talking about, so as soon as Amy said this, Joanna and Raphael, who came to Zachary's side, glared angrily at the captain, believing that their big brother Zachary would not betray Reiner.
"And Amy, which one do you think I'm going to be because of?" Instead of being angry, Zachary scrutinized the look on Amy's face with interest, wondering what the future general would think of his actions.
"Squadron Leader, I believe that you will not betray the kingdom, but I still want to get your personal confirmation from you." Amy didn't avoid Zachary's scrutiny and looked at Zachary with a determined expression.
After seeing Amy's unflinching expression, Zachary smiled slightly, turned his head and continued to look at the fortress, and asked nonchalantly, "What do you think this war in front of you means to us Reiner and the orcs, and what will it bring?" ”
Following Zachary's line of sight, Amy saw that the orc army of tens of thousands of people was like a wave, constantly attacking the fortress of Bair in waves, and the orcs kept screaming and falling from the fortress walls, but the orcs below still seemed not to hear, staring at the attacks falling above their heads and rushing firmly up the wall.
"For the orcs, this war means the future of their race." Scrooge's low roar of grief rang out in Amy's heart, letting him know that this war might not be a simple invasion war for the orcs, but a war that weighed on the future of their entire race.
"But, for us Reiner, this war also means the future of our kingdom!"
The Fortress of Bair-Alonia is the only line of defense on the northern border of the Kingdom of Reiner. The kingdom of Reiner, located on the plains of Lydia, has very little terrain within the kingdom that can build a strong defensive line, and once this defense line is breached, the orcs can be said to be in a no-man's land, driving straight into the northern part of the kingdom.
So Amy's words are not wrong, for the orc kingdom, the battle of the stars and the moon means the future of their race, and for Reiner, it will not determine the national fortune of their entire kingdom, once the defense line is broken, the Reiner kingdom that has lost the northern territory can be said to have lost half of its strength.
So hearing Amy say this, Zachary sighed in a low voice: "Yes, for both countries, this war determines the life and death of their kingdoms and races. ”
"But why can't this war be stopped, and why must it be fought?"
Amy was stunned, not understanding why Zachary was saying that.
"Amy, don't you think that we are in internal conflict, the threat of the West has not been lifted, and the evil forces have been hiding in the shadows and peeping at our Eastern Continent, but we are fighting among ourselves, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"However, what to do, didn't the orc prince say it very clearly, because of the environment of the northern tundra plateau, they orcs have reached the time to decide the future of their entire orc race, and how to extinguish a race's desire to change the future."
Zachary didn't answer Amy's inquiry, because there were things he said that he couldn't explain why he knew these things would happen, the gods would lose their responses, and the prophecy would lose its effect, and sooner or later these things would spread across the continent, and he wouldn't be able to use divine revelations or prophecies to explain how he knew what would happen in the future.
Without Zachary's answer, Amy didn't ask any more, he himself is more introverted, if it weren't for Zachary's behavior just now that had affected the mentality of the soldiers, otherwise he wouldn't have stood up and asked anything.
The orc attack lasted a whole day, and the orc attacks did not stop throughout the day, like waves crashing on the fortress in waves, testing the strength of the fortress's defenses.
As the sun set, the orcs once again left thousands of corpses of their compatriots in front of the fortress, dragging their tired bodies slowly retreating, and the mournful battle horn sounded over the fortress of Baier, and under the dim sky, there was a battlefield full of war and wolf smoke.
The cold evening breeze blew on the plains, the weeds everywhere shook sluggishly in the wind, the blood of the warriors flowing from the branches and leaves almost overwhelmed their bodies, and the flames of battle left columns of smoke rising into the sky.
As the orc army retreated, the Reiner soldiers in the fortress began to slowly emerge from the fortress. Under the fierce attack of the orcs regardless of their own life and death, they were rushed up the fortress walls from time to time, so there were also many corpses of Reiner soldiers who fell to the fortress, in addition to cleaning the battlefield and recovering some usable combat materials, but also to recover the corpses of their comrades.
Looking at the battle from afar, Zachary looked back at the expressions on the faces of his soldiers, and he knew that the recruits in his team had been shocked by the day's battle, and knew the cruelty of the battlefield.
Looking at the sky that had begun to darken, Zachary glanced at the fortress of Bair, where the wolf chimney was in the Wolf Channel, and with a gentle kick in the horse's belly, he led his soldiers into a bolt of lightning on the plains of Lydia and rushed into the already dark night.
For Zachary, meeting the third prince of the orc kingdom on the edge of the battlefield was just an episode, and he came out this time with his own purpose.
After all, the most reliable thing for people is always themselves.
