Chapter 008: The Ogre's Ambush
After most of the day's march, continue deep into the shadowy world that humans rarely set foot in.
There is a deep silence and mystery in the woodland.
Using the mysterious number of streams, through the perspective of the cavalry scouts, the light around Yasuo's current woodland is also light and dark, and the colors are sometimes snowy, sometimes pale blue puddles.
Didn't run much distance. But the oppressive feeling of emptiness made the galloping horses gasp. Together with the cavalry scouts on their backs, their broad chests, like bellows on a furnace, were constantly rising and falling.
Climbing up a steep slope, suddenly, the cavalry's whole body was immobile as if they were carrying a jack gate.
It's just that he is now full of camouflage under the steep slope. Those sturdy, thick, strong bodies were all blue-skinned ogres.
Before pounced on their prey, the ogre curled up with its claws and crude weapons, stealthily approaching the opposition. The cavalry scouts who had gone deep into the ambush had just become alert, and a large number of ogres pounced on them.
…… The fall of every knight is a glorious and tragic event.
Galloping through the woods, the cavalry scouts sent out by Yasuo suddenly fell into the siege of ogres after about half an hour.
When the road to life was blocked, the cavalry scout resolutely drew the long sword at his waist and shouted out his promise, "Loyalty and courage are our rules!" Die on the battlefield and shed blood...... Glory to me! Glory Lore Cardin!! ”
The sword in his hand left a deep wound on the ogre's body, but he was simultaneously attacked by multiple ogres from all sides.
The general's cavalryman, named Edie, finally left his saddle and, with godless eyes, looked up at the horse that had fallen above his head. Edie embraced death with open arms, and her body was instantly overwhelmed by the ogre. His body was revealed, a crimson or brownish black that had never been exposed.
Through the mysterious flow of numbers, the three-dimensional images seen by the cavalry scouts were reflected in Yasuo's mind.
At a distance of a thousand meters, the three cavalry scouts, from three different directions, were all attacked, and there was not even the slightest space to escape. From a place of glory that should be looked up to by the world, to a place that will be erased by some kind of trampling and cruelty.
Yasuo's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with sharp reflections. When he raised his palm, he suddenly clenched into a fist, and there was a voice from the herald Adele, "Stop advancing." ”。 The shoulders of the Lol Cardin army shrugged and immediately froze.
The three-dimensional images in the eyes of the three cavalry scouts disappeared from Yasuo's mind one after another. Life and death, one on horseback and one under the horse, each have their own place.
The warriors of Lol Cardin, who live on horseback, do not lack the enthusiasm and impulse to climb to glory; There should be no loneliness of abandonment under the horse. Because Yasuo would have memorized the names of the three cavalrymen, "Ingie, Edie, Jeffrey." "It's just because of their sacrifice - wronged and unjust.
The warriors of Lol Cardin will not shed blood in vain.
Yasol grabbed the reins, and then said in a deep voice, "The front team is ready for defense, and the bow and arrows are wound!" ”
The army of Lol Cardin will not question the general's orders at any time, Yasuo's order has just been given, and the centurion of the front team is ready to meet it.
It's just that ten minutes have passed, and there is still no movement ahead.
"Ready! ――”
Listening to the elongated voice of the centurion, the spear-wielding sergeant and hunter standing in the front row, his eyes fixed on the snowflakes and mist scattered between the trunks and leaves, and the gloomy sky peeking out between the leaves, he felt like a fish and shrimp under a cluster of aquatic plants.
Five more minutes later.
Experienced hunters, loosen your limbs, ears, nostrils, pores, let the smell of cold pour in, and where there is no sound, listen to the unnamed, the sound of horses' hooves on the snow!
Gradually, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.
"It's a cavalry scout." Guard Officer Leon squinted slightly, already seeing the silhouette in the snow mist.
It's just that Yasuo, who is a general, shook his head slowly, he saw with his own eyes that the three cavalry scouts had been sacrificed, so it was not them who came back.
Next, the guard officer Leon shuddered, only because Yasuo's voice was extremely faint and carried an icy aura, "Kill them!" ”
Through the last vantage point of the three cavalry scouts, Yasuo had already seen a large area of woodland a thousand meters ahead, densely packed with enemies no less than twice his size. The ogre knew all about the movements of Lorkadan's army, which made Yasuo feel weird.
In his current situation, Yasuo could determine that Loel Cardin had been betrayed. And this person who betrayed Loel Cardin, Yasuo already knew it, but he didn't have time to think about his plot and purpose in detail for the time being.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The order has been given.
With the gesture of the centurion of the front team, the hunters aimed at the three figures in the curtain that became clearer and clearer, the pull of the arm deformed the string, and when they let go, the elastic potential energy of the bow was immediately converted into the kinetic energy of the arrow, and quickly sank into the curtain of large snowflakes.
Woo Woo ---
The arrows dragged the trajectory that cut through the air, and fired in one shot. The neighing of horses was heard ahead, and three 'cavalry scouts' were shot almost simultaneously with men and horses.
Later, a squad of ten spearmen rushed into the snow mist and dragged back the bodies of three 'cavalry scouts'.
"It's an ogre."
The centurion, the guard officer, the herald and others collectively gasped, and the guard officer Leon was even more abruptly realized on the side. Just because lying on the ground, wearing armor, are three odious ogres.
Many pairs of eyes had just been deceived, and no one would have thought that the cavalry scouts would all be killed in such a short time.
Lol Cardin is a border town in the Solar Plains, and almost every Lol Cardin knows that ogres are a ferocious monster. Eating the brains of humans and inheriting some of the memories to become the appearance of the deceased is an innate talent of ogres.
It doesn't matter if the three ogres were transformed into three cavalry scouts, whether they were for deception or assassination. Yasuo chose to shoot them at the first opportunity, no matter what the reason, it was a calm and wise expression.
His eyes slid faintly and calmly over the corpse on the ground. Remembering the scene before the death of the three cavalry scouts in his mind, even though it was extremely difficult to calm down in his heart, Yasuo's eyebrows were full of indifference.
"Humans and ogres have irreconcilable contradictions. And due to the special geographical location, the hatred between the Lolcadan and the ogres can only be washed away with sword and blood. ”
"Now, at last, the time has come to wash away this hatred."
Over the past decade or so, Yasuo has witnessed the tragic death of many Lol Cardin people at the hands of ogres. Including the old Baron of Archimen, the former lord of Lolcadin.
The ruby-encrusted hilt was a little cold, and Yasuo drew his sword slowly, and the pride and courage peculiar to the people of Lol Cardan were reflected in the tone of his voice, "Humble creatures are always good at using such deceitful tricks. The wise people of Lol Cardin will not be blinded by the snowflakes of this winter. Soldier Lorcaden: Listen! Just a kilometer ahead, in the lowland, there are ogres twice as large as us lurking in the shadows, trying to use their numbers and terrain to defeat the heroic Lolcadans. ”
Hearing the general's words, the Lol Cardin soldiers generally gasped.
…… At this moment, no one knows how the general got insight into the ogre's deception and conspiracy. But everyone in the soldiers knew that General Yasuo never missed a beat.
Those black eyes looked too sharp at this time. Even though he was only thirteen years old, he was like an eagle on the battlefield, and people unconsciously needed to look up.
Every Lol Cardin was listening carefully to the general's encouragement and instructions.
"The ogre had come from the Forest of Thorns to the damp woodland, and there was plenty of time to set traps and ambushes, and it was clear that our actions had been mastered by the enemy. Next, we will not continue to the swamps west of the Forest of Thorns to join the coalition forces, because ...... Someone betrayed the Lol Cardinians! In the same way, we will not retreat, because behind us, there is Loel Cardin! ”
More than 500 Lol Cardin soldiers tacitly did not make a single sound.
Anger burned in the chests of every Lol Cardin soldier, and they hated the bastard who betrayed Lol Cardin. At the same time, fighting to defend their homeland, even if they are about to shed blood and sacrifice, everyone's eyes are firm and brave at the moment.
Staring at the vague terrain in front of him, Yasuo's pupils inadvertently shrank slightly, and a sharp light flashed under his eyes, "Swordsman brigade, provoke from the front, use the sword in your hand to tell the ogre, the Lol Cardan people have seen through their plot. ”
Immediately after, Yasuo's eyes turned to the other three centurions, "The three spear brigades spread out left and right, and after the enemy launched an offensive, they attacked from behind. A brigade of hunters, occupying a favorable terrain and carrying out long-range suppression of the enemy. ”
Yasuo's tone quickened. Each of the four centurions led his men into action.
Although Yasuo knew in his heart that he could lead the Lol Cardin army to withdraw the same way, occupy the resources of Lol Cardin's territory, and easily defeat the ogre invasion.
It was only considering that the ogre was able to grasp the time and route of Lol Cardin's march in advance, which made Yasuo unable to determine whether the circuit was also ambushed, and then fell into a situation where the enemy was flanked by the enemy in front and back of the enemy.
Therefore, according to the unclear shape in front of him, he is more inclined to seek stability in danger. The reason why he didn't confess this to the soldiers just now was because Yasuo didn't want them to have some kind of concern in the battle.
After all, not everyone is so calm when they hear that they have to deal with both the front and the back.
Holding the long sword in his hand high, Yasuo remembered the words of the old Baron Archimen, who often came to his lips in every battle, "My sword shines with silver brilliance......"
This sentence involves the old Baron of Archimen's life, his understanding of the 'Holy Light'. The deeper meaning of this is something that Yasuo has not yet understood. But it didn't stop him from reciting the same voice. "My sword, shining with silver!"
After all, this is the first time he has faced an ogre twice his size in the wild since he inherited the title and became Lord of Lorkadan.
There is no doubt that this will be a challenge.
Next, the appearance of Lol Cardin's army is related to the victory or defeat of the war and the future survival of the rear territory. And at this life-threatening moment, it was enough for Yasuo to calm down.
Yasuo withdrew his gaze and glanced at Adele beside him, his voice was extremely soft and faint, "Follow me, don't pull Adele." ”
In Adele's eyes, compared to the baron lord in the lord's mansion, the general's facial lines were too cold and hard. Without even waiting for her response, he turned his head back. Even so, Adele still nodded firmly, both as a respectful and self-reliant as a sign of respect for the general.
Then, after squinting his eyes and waiting for the spear brigade and the hunter brigade to leave, the swordsman brigade took off the round shield from the back hem with a neat step, and advanced forward in a strict formation.
After pinching the right time, Yasuo gave an order to the general guards beside him, "General guards, follow me-"
