Chapter 429: Preparations for the Great War
Capra Pass, the headquarters of the Youth Corps, just two days after Allen led the army to leave the ancient city of Ao, the Youth Corps received the latest information about the orc army, this information came from the scouts sent by the Youth Corps itself, and the military information detected was also very different from before, the attacking orc legion was not the 10,000 people detected before, but a multi-arms mixed full army of 25,000 people.
"The orc army has more people than us, what should we do? Do you want to inform Brother Allen?"
Miranda, who heard the news, was a little flustered, the army led by Allen had just left the ancient city of Ao, and now he was chasing after him in the flying magic array, maybe it was still too late.
"No, if Uncle Allen knew about it, he would have chosen to withdraw his troops and return to help, then the city-state would have missed a golden opportunity, and we could not be the sinners. There are 25,000 orcs, and we have 20,000 people, although we suffer a little loss in numbers, but we have high walls to protect us, and there are magicians to support, and we only need to hold on for a few days Uncle Alan to complete the task and come back, I think it's worth fighting. Stanny, what do you think?"
Harvey stopped Miranda, his eyes glinting fearlessly.
"Brother Allen just let us hold on here for fifteen days, and didn't let us destroy this orc army, Capra Pass is strong and well prepared, I don't think it's half a month, even if it is half a year, there is no problem. Besides, the great husband should have relied on himself to make achievements, if we are even afraid of a 25,000-strong orc army today, how can we talk about counterattacking the grassland in the coming day?"
Stanny patted the long sword at his waist and said in a heroic tone.
"Well, since we are on the same page, the boys' group will meet the enemy at Capra Pass with their own strength, and this time we will make the orcs understand that they want to eat soft persimmons, but they are met with iron plates. ”
Although Harvey and Stanny were both deputy commanders of the Cadet Corps, Alan handed over the command to Harvey before leaving, so when the two of them agreed, Harvey immediately issued the latest combat orders to the entire legion.
In view of the encounter with the orc legion more than doubled the previous expectations, the defenders of Capra Pass fully reduced their defenses, in addition to retaining a certain number of scouts, removed all the strongholds outside the pass, and at the same time organized nearby residents to cut down trees near Capra Pass to make trebuchets and rolling logs, and burned other useless ones, although the mountains near Capra Pass are surrounded by dense forests, and there are countless trees for orcs to use to make siege equipment, but allowing orcs to take one more step may bring their own side closer to victory.
"The mighty enemy is ahead, and now we have no way to retreat, and the Capra Pass is the last barrier of the Godsas, and the last dignity of our people, and behind us are our compatriots, our relatives, our brothers and sisters, our mothers. ”
Although Harvey and Stanny were full of words on the surface, they both understood the arduousness of this task, so before the start of the war, they held a general mobilization meeting of the Youth League, Harvey stood on the city wall to do the last mobilization before the battle began, and Miranda used amplification magic to clearly transmit his sonorous voice to the ears of the soldiers standing below.
"Defend your loved ones, your brothers and sisters, your mother, and never let them be harmed. ”
The soldiers raised their fists and shouted slogans in unison in response to Harvey, and the sound echoed far and wide among the mountains.
From this moment on, our Youth League is the city wall, no matter how strong and murderous the orc legion is, we will never take half a step back, people are in the city, and people are dead in the city. ”
Looking at the resolute eyes and high morale of the soldiers, Harvey was very satisfied and his confidence became more abundant.
According to the latest situation, the orc army has marched to an area less than a hundred miles away from Capra Pass, and may cross the Capra River to attack Capra Pass at any time, so at this meeting, everyone made detailed discussions and arrangements for the next tactics and division of labor.
"Miranda, wait a minute. ”
At the end of the meeting, coming out of the tent of the Chinese army, Stanny called out to Miranda, who was walking in front.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing Stanny's voice, Miranda stopped.
"Miranda, I know that you have always had a grudge against me because of what happened last time, but I want to tell you today that after thinking about it for a while, I have figured it out, and I will fully support you and Brother Alan together, as long as you can be happy, I am willing to do anything. ”
Stanny walked up behind Miranda and hesitated for a moment before saying what he was holding back in his heart.
"The enemy is now, what's the use of talking about this?"
Miranda said without looking back.
"I'm sorry, Miranda. Actually, I want to say that you should go to find Brother Alan now. ”
"Is it too late to go to Brother Allen now?"
Miranda was stunned when she heard this, the army of orcs was immediately killed, and it was too late to ask Eren for help now.
"It's not to ask for help, but to inform Brother Allen about the military situation. ”
Stanny explained.
"I don't need to report on the military situation at all..."
Miranda, who was originally confused, suddenly reacted that the purpose of Stanny's arrangement was not to report the military situation at all, but to keep himself away from the battlefield.
"Stanny, I understand your intentions, but I can't leave. ”
Miranda turned to look at Stanny and replied.
"Miranda, you don't understand how dangerous the enemy we are going to face next is. ”
"Danger can't be left, I'm a high-level magician, with me, everyone can bear some sacrifices. ”
"Miranda, I'd rather sacrifice more people than get you hurt, you understand?"
Stanny stomped his foot in a hurry.
"Stanny, thank you for your kindness. Brother Allen said that it is the responsibility of the Youth League to guard the Capra Pass and protect the land and people behind me, and I am also a member of the Youth League, so it is also my responsibility. ”
Miranda's voice was calm, but her attitude did not mean to change at all.
"It's okay to stay, but you have to promise me that once the battle begins, you won't rush to the front. ”
Seeing Miranda's resolute attitude, Stanny could only retreat.
"Don't worry. Rushing to the front is your swordsman's business, and I will help you in the back. ”
After saying that, Miranda turned and walked away with her long legs.
"I..."
Looking at Miranda's departing back, Stanny wanted to say something, but swallowed the words when they came to his lips.
"Stanny, you have to be careful, too. ”
Just when Stanny was a little frustrated that this communication was fruitless, Miranda's slender figure suddenly stopped, turned to him and smiled at him.
"Don't worry. ”
Although it was late autumn, Miranda's smile made Stanny feel like spring was blooming, and he excitedly trotted away.
Returning to the tent, Stanny immediately gathered his men and issued a series of orders, and half a day later, the gate on the north side of Capra Pass opened, and a fully armed team of 3,000 men quietly left the city, and soon disappeared into the wilderness.
