"That's right, what about me, today I received an order from the king, asking me to take my headquarters out of the city to the Endless Wasteland to find out the deployment of the orcs. Hehe, I heard that Xirui is a local nobleman, so I want to ask you to help with me! ”

The visitor smiled. That appearance is really a little sunny, but Xirui is not an ignorant girl, this kind of warm man, it would be good if it didn't cause him to be disgusted!

"A reconnaissance mission out of the city? Isn't this sending to death? Lord Wesley, I can't forgive you. ”

It is true that the orc army did not besiege the city of Betnes, but the orc troops attacked the city every day, proving that the orc army was not far from the city. Going out of the city to investigate at this juncture is almost no different from sending them to death.

"I think so, too." Thomas smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders. But the king said that the orcs had always been fond of field warfare, and that even if they attacked a city, they would exclude all their troops. It's really strange to exclude a small group of troops from attacking the city every day, so I found someone to go out of the city to investigate. ”

"I know that I will die and go out, Lord Wesley, what promise did the king give you, and what good is it for me to join you?"

Siri hadn't fought in a month, and no matter how dangerous it was, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity. But there are some things that must be said first. If he goes out and dies without any promises, even if he has the confidence to get out of the way, he will be regarded as an idiot by everyone!

"My knighthood has been upgraded by one level, to the rank of viscount. And your title is changed from a lifelong system to a hereditary nobility. The premise is that you have adult blood relatives after your death to inherit your title. ”

I see, he said, how can there be such a task as a nobleman who knows that he will return to death. It turned out that this Thomas was interested in the viscount title, and as for the promise to turn his lifelong aristocracy into a hereditary nobility, it was just an opportunity to get rid of his incense bait!

Not only do you want me to die, but you want me to die? Hmph, then I can't let you get your wish! Don't even think about the chance to find fault afterwards!

The idea is made. Ciri calmly continued, "Alright, my lord. For the sake of the title behind me, I'll go with you on this trip. But Lord Wesley, how many of your troops are there? In this way, I can also be prepared. ”

"Three hundred, the standard strength of a battalion. My territory is relatively poor, and raising these soldiers is already the limit. Lord Williosa, if you have no opinion, how about we meet at the gate of the south of the city in an hour? ”

"Well, that's good. See you at the south gate of the city then. ”

promised like this, but Xirui kept sneering in his heart!

In this world, heroes are nobles, and nobles are officers. In addition to the knight equivalent to a baron, and the lord equivalent to an earl, there are two titles unique to the nobility for life. Generally speaking, a knight can command a hundred troops, and a veteran can command three hundred people. But a baron, but a standard officer of the Knights of a Thousand People. Leading three hundred people, to put it mildly, the knights of a bold point beside the king are better than him!

However, with his own Bai team joining, it is unlikely that he will die even if he wants to. The shield infantry, itself is a defensive class in front of the army, and it reflects 50% damage, which means that only he hits the enemy, and the enemy can't beat him! ――

The bright sunshine, the green plains, along the way, all kinds of unknown birds sang, and there were still one or two small magical beasts jumping out of the grass. That's right, that's the only thing the combined forces of Ciri and Thomas who left the city feel about their surroundings. If it weren't for the accumulation of corpses on the side of the road that made everyone think of the cruelty of this war, it really made people think that this was just an outing!

Riding his three-attribute tiger-striped sharp-toothed beast, Xi Rui Shi walked in the middle of the team. Because of the class nameplate, he had to let the soldiers walk. However, for the ten members of his own personal guard, it is still necessary to wear the sharp tooth beast as a mount, not to escape in order to have an accident, but to allow the personal guard led by Allen to provide reconnaissance for the army. Before, this kid wanted to pick a speed-type treasure, and it made Xirui very unhappy. But now it seems that this Alan is probably as self-aware as Ron. A person who has followed the lord since he was a child and acts as a hunting hound for him every time the lord hunts, the most suitable is of course a scout hero.

With Allen, the Brigade Headquarters was relieved of the danger of entering the Orc Army Barracks to investigate. It's just that every time the standard scout hero brings back the message, it makes Ciri's brow furrow deeper and deeper. A hillside thirty kilometers southwest of the city of Betnes is where the orc army camp is located. With a scale of more than 200,000, the area of captive argali, sheep and food supplies on the periphery of the camp alone is three times that of the camp!

Pull in the troops, reserve strategic materials, and if it is a human force, there is nothing abnormal. But this happened to the orc troops. Orcs have a tradition of pursuing offensive ability, because most of the orcs live in cold and miserable places and lack enough supplies! Besides, compared to the population potential of the war, there is another race that can compare to the living. Humans with amazing abilities? Attacking the strengths of the others with their own shortcomings, these orcs are too eccentric. What's even stranger is that, according to Allen, they also ran into an orc scout on the way. A big war is inevitable. But after such a long time, there is still no large army of orcs to drive them away, and there is no trace of any orc troops here in the headquarters!

What the hell are orcs doing? With an army of 200,000, if you attack with all your might, even if people can withstand it, Betnis City will not be able to withstand it! Are they waiting for reinforcements, or some kind of troop cooperation?

The huge Chigo Mararo Mountains, if it were just a mountain range, would have been leveled by the orcs a long time ago, and there were all kinds of magical beasts in the key mountains. If it weren't for those difficult demonic beasts, why would this mountain range, which is very narrow in terms of the size of the continent, become a barrier for the Kingdom of Zigra to survive? Unless, the orcs have already crossed the mountains, and the army in front of them is just attracting attention to the strange soldier.

But is it possible for orcs to cross over? The eastern pass has always been guarded, and the territory of Brand behind the northern pass is in chaos...... Could it be that before the Second Knights of Betnes took over the Northern Pass, a group of strange soldiers had already passed through the Pass?

Thinking of this possibility, even Ciri himself was taken aback, the city of Betnis can hold on, and Zigra IX in the city can sit in the castle and command, is it not because they have a stable rear and can provide all kinds of military supplies, including soldiers, to the front line at any time? If there is really an orc army behind Zigra, there is no need to storm the city, as long as this strange army wreaks havoc on the farmland outside the city, the kingdom of Qigra can collapse in a very short time!

Don't think that the neighboring countries around Zigra will care about the righteousness of the same human kingdom, when they encounter this kind of thing, they wish that the Kingdom of Zigra would be destroyed more completely! It's like Zigra IX letting the Bend Territory remain in a dog-eat-dog war, waiting for the time to be ripe before taking over there!
