Chapter 42: Out of the Castle
87_87410Since becoming the lieutenant general of the Dreadnought, Twilight eats at the barracks whenever she has time, which invisibly makes the soldiers around her feel more identified with Twilight.
And today, after Twilight brought Dumb to the camp, it immediately attracted the attention of all the soldiers nearby, Dumb's image had already penetrated into the hearts of the Dreadnought soldiers when the orcs attacked the castle of your, but today Dumb's black iron armor made him even more oppressive.
Seeing Dumb ignore the other soldiers' eyes and eat a whole bucket of rice by herself, Twilight can't help but have an appetite and eats two more bowls of rice.
After dinner, Twilight doesn't rush out of the fort to gather the stragglers, but instead takes Dumb around the camp and returns to his room, waiting for news, waiting for news from Reyna Icespear.
Nearly noon, Reyna Icespear returns after a day and a night away, bringing Twilight the news he wants.
"You said there were four convoys out of Stan City from yesterday until this morning, and what direction did they go?" asked Twilight.
"There are two groups in the direction of Iroburg, and the other two groups are in this direction and the other is here." Reyna Icespear points Twilight in the direction of the four convoys on the map.
Picking up the pen and drawing four red lines where Reyna pointed, Twilight turned to the guards and said, "Go and call Emilio, Theria, and Odosen."
"Yes!" The guard answered and ran briskly.
Soon, Odoxon, Emilio, and Thelia arrive at Twilight.
"What? Ready to act?" Seria walked in and watched Emilio and Odoson come before her.
Nodding, Twilight pointed to the four red lines on the map and said, "This is the direction that the orc convoy has taken since yesterday, and the one on the right is our side, and there will definitely be an orc camp in this direction, one or more of them are possible."
The reason why Twilight asks Reyna Icespear to keep an eye on the orc convoy is because Twilight can guess what the general distribution of the orcs is by following the general route of the convoy.
"Gather the scattered soldiers to fight against the orcs, this is the strategy I have set before, since the orcs want to destroy the remnants of the human forces in the red soil highlands, then we can also use the opportunity of the orcs to disperse to eliminate the number of orcs in large numbers."
Twilight said as she covered the red line on the southeast side of the map with her palm, "Our target is all the orcs in this area."
Gathering soldiers and consuming a small group of orcs are all set by Twilight, but the fall of Stan City has left them without a target that can attract the attention of the orc army, and now Twilight and the others are like frogs falling into a well, there is no way around, and they may be discovered by the orcs at any time, rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to take the lead in others, Twilight wants to mess up the entire southeast of the Red Soil Highlands.
"But we still have a lot of recruits in our ranks, I'm afraid," Selia said with some concern.
Before she could finish her words, Emilio shook his head and said, "Recruits will always be recruits if they don't go to battle, and we don't have time to train them a little bit now."
"Okay, let's all go down and prepare, each person will bring three days' food, and set off in half an hour." Twilight agrees with Emilio's words, and now they really don't have time to train new recruits little by little.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Twilight, dressed in Officer Darius's armor and somewhat torn Hammer of Justice robes, strode up to them.
Glancing at the many soldiers standing in front of her, Twilight said loudly, "Stan City has been broken, I must know it, and soon, I will take you out of the fort to kill the orcs."
Listening to Twilight's words, the soldiers in front couldn't help but be a little confused, giving the soldiers a buffer time, half a sound, Twilight continued: "I know that some soldiers don't want to fight with the orcs, because you are afraid of those ugly monsters, but the Red Earth Heights is now about to become the territory of the orcs, since you have joined the army, then you have no other choice, now there are only two ways in front of you, one is to fight a bloody path with me, and the other is because of your cowardice and cowardice, and finally die at the hands of the orcs."
"The Dreadnought, that is, indomitable, fearless, now you are a member of the Dreadnought, I said I would take you back with glory and set off."
As these words fall, Twilight gets on his horse and walks at the front of the group, while Setis's massive figure follows Twilight, and of course there is no horse for him to ride.
On top of Ulburg, the middle-aged fat Viscount Dumen and his retinue watched with dark faces as Twilight's more than a thousand people slowly walked out of the castle.
"Master, these Qiu Ba are too arrogant, even Stan City has been defeated, what do they use against the orc army, it is estimated that these people will definitely die in the hands of those orcs this time." Looking at the army slowly leaving, the eight-character bearded steward beside Du Men said with an obvious tone of schadenfreude.
"Smack!" Bazihu's words were exchanged for a loud slap from Viscount Dumen: "Fool, if they all die, and the orcs come to attack Urbao, will you resist it?"
Saying that, Du Men snorted angrily and turned around and walked under the city wall, leaving only the beaten mustache, if you want to say who wants Twilight to die the most, it must be him Du Men, but compared to his own life, then the others are irrelevant.
Not to mention Viscount Dumen, after Twilight came out of the Blade Collar at this time, the scouts were immediately sent out, and Twilight's method was very simple, he moved directly in the direction of the nearest town from here.
It didn't take long for Twilight to encounter a hundred-strong squad of orc wolf cavalry, and these wolf cavalry were extremely valiant and rushed over after seeing Twilight's troops without raising their flags.
In the simple minds of these wolf cavalry squad leaders, all the defeated soldiers in front of them were defeated by them, and when they saw them, they would flee in the wilderness, but they chased them alive.
However, this time the leader of the wolf cavalry squad was obviously disappointed, and after seeing this group of orc wolf cavalry, the dreadnoughts quickly reacted and lined up to meet the enemy.
Although there were some doubts as to why the humans did not flee this time, the warlike nature of the orcs did not think so much at all, and they plunged headlong into the dreadnought.
The front row of the Dreadnought was the 200 people who followed Twilight when she was in Fire Feather Mountain, and they were also Twilight's most trusted people, they all had some combat experience, and although they were nervous in the face of the orc wolf cavalry galloping over, they were not panicked.
And Setis, who was standing next to Twilight, once again showed his own violent aesthetics to the others, no orc wolf cavalry could withstand Setis's assault, only to see Setis holding a black iron broadsword, one by one, the wolf cavalry was either shot to death or cut into two pieces, Twilight didn't make much of a move, and the nearby orcs were all solved by him, so that Twilight was helpless and speechless.
