Volume 1: Twilight of the Moon Chapter 21: The General Was Stunned!!
"General.................." one of Star's lieutenants suddenly spoke, "I feel something is wrong...... Something seems to be approaching us!"
In the confusion, Star turned a deaf ear as if she hadn't heard!
Salsa Sasha
The two hundred orc warriors of the Orc Royal Guard had already made no secret of their footsteps and rushed towards their target in great stride.
Looking at the target land that was getting closer and closer, the third prince was extremely happy in his heart, and he was finally one step closer to his great victory!
Deep in the jungle, in the barracks.
At this point, even the ordinary soldiers felt something uneasy, not only by Sashasha's voice, but also by the deathly silence of the entire barracks.
"Orcs! It's an orc! General, we're surrounded by orcs!" a sentry's dying cry finally brought the barracks back to life, but it was full of panic and chaos.
Star turned his head suddenly, the death cry of the sentry just now would finally wake him up from his confusion, but when he turned back, what he saw was no longer a battalion of soldiers lined up neatly, but instead a group of panicked, frightened birds, the spirit of these soldiers was completely crushed by the orcs alone, and you can imagine how they would react if they really faced the orc troops.
"Quiet! Stand still for me, and if anyone dares to move any more, they will be dealt with by military law!" Star quickly responded after a brief moment of distraction.
"Your Highness, are we .....................?"
"Don't attack yet, you go up and call their commander out. The third prince looked at the suddenly silent military camp, he was a little curious, obviously it was still chaotic just now, how could they quickly calm down after only a while, aren't they afraid of our attack?
After a brief period of panic, Star's forces finally regained their calm, much to Star's satisfaction.
But then a question arises, isn't the orc army fighting against the kingdom coalition forces on the front line? How can it appear here? Could it be that the kingdom coalition forces are defeated? This is also impossible, if the alliance forces are defeated, the orcs will only advance instead of retreating, and besides, the commander-in-chief asked Tosta to summon back a few days ago, it shouldn't have been defeated so quickly!
Ah, how did I forget it..................
Star suddenly remembered what Tosta had said to him on the day he returned, "The commander-in-chief told you to be improvised, and in case of emergency, just open the envelope."
Yes, did the Commander-in-Chief foresee that the orcs would come?
Confused, Star opened the envelope.
The letter is simple, with only one line.
"The orc troops who come are friends, just say my name to the leader and the crisis can be solved!"
Orc troops are friends?
Starr's brain buzzed when he saw this, and if the orcs were friends in this situation, then I would rather believe that the Pope would abdicate today!
This is simply nonsense, if the orcs are friends, why should we fight this battle, it is better to pack up and go home to farm and pick up the children!
"General! The orcs outside the camp suddenly stopped surrounding. A sentry-like soldier interrupted Star's rhapsodies.
"General, an orc outside the camp has asked to see you. Then another sentry rushed in.
"See me, is this really my own?" Star's mind kept recalling what Yitian had just said in the letter.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the gate of the camp bolted by several hard nanmu suddenly opened, and the first to come out was not Star himself, but two columns of guards composed of twenty-eight people, each of them was dressed in a jet-black steel armor, and there was a badge engraved on the chest of the armor, which was composed of two sharp swords and a roaring green wolf, and above the badge was also marked a shallow gold rod, and each of the twenty-eight people had a slight difference in the gold rod, if this was in the eyes of a person who was proficient in the military system of the kingdom, it would be found that the difference was found in the eyes of a person who was proficient in the military system of the kingdom, these gold rods were long and short, thick and thin, and the length represented the number of years in the armyFor example, the middle-aged man standing at the front with the captain's logo is a senior soldier with superb martial arts, which can also be seen from his golden rod that is nearly ten centimeters long and nearly thumbs up, he has definitely been in the army for more than ten years, and his own martial arts have reached the level of the top of the golden warrior.
"It seems that these people are the strongest strength of this force. Looking at the two columns of heroic guards in jet-black steel armor in front of him, the third prince made an accurate judgment.
The last thing that came out was a thin and tall middle-aged man, perhaps due to the sudden encirclement of the beast army, which made this middle-aged man look a little embarrassed, a light brown long hair was slightly messy on his head, and there was obviously a trace of panic in his pale gray eyes,
"Presumably you are General Star!" After observing Star, the third prince broke the silence first.
"It's contemptible, but I don't know what to call Your Excellency?" After hearing the enemy's kind tone, Star somewhat believed what Yi Tianxin said.
"You can call me Yueyan, or call me the Third Prince like Yi Tian!"
"Three...... Emperor...... Zi ............ "Starr suddenly felt that his heart began to expand, isn't the third prince the supreme leader of the beast clan this time? Could he be .....................
Looking at Star's stunned appearance, the third prince felt very happy, it seemed that his identity was really a great deterrent to ordinary people, but then he became depressed again, why could Yi Tian keep so calm and still like water? Could it be that the mind of this fifteen-year-old boy was really more sophisticated than that of this middle-aged man in his forties?
....................................
Looking at the three princes of the beast clan who were stunned and staring at him, he didn't know where he got the courage to speak: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you are blatantly surrounding our army and don't know what's going on, do you want to eat us in one go?" Although Yi Tian explained everything in that letter, he didn't think much about it.
Looking at the somewhat timid human general in front of him, the third prince was a little relieved, it turned out that not all human beings have the courage of Yi Tian, Yi Tian - just a special case.
"General Star, I have no intention of annexing your troops, I just want to verify a little. Speaking of this, the three princes suddenly paused, and their eyes emitted a sharp silver light, "Are you the mysterious Fifth Route Army that Yi Tian said in his mouth?" ”
The coercion of the three princes of the beast clan was completely released at the moment he finished speaking, and in an instant, Star felt that the air around him was rapidly condensing and condensing, and it only took a moment to weigh several times his own weight on Star's body, although as a high-level warrior, his own strength has reached a very high height, but these three princes whose strength has already broken through the Sword Saint seem to be just using one more force, and the endless coercion is like a wave of waves hitting Star, if Starr can still rely on his own strength at the beginning, then in the end, Star has already been completely knocked down by the coercion of the third prince.
Carrying several times the pressure, Star's legs began to tremble, and infinite fear poured into his body, brain, and even soul..............................
The thread that kept Star's last shred of consciousness alive finally broke, and Star finally collapsed.
"Bang!" heard a slight thud in the silence of the night, and a seal fell out of Star's trembling body pocket.
Although the seal is small, it is extremely delicate, and the symbol of the golden eagle soaring is extremely dazzling at this moment.
"It seems that Yi Tian didn't lie to me. The third prince muttered softly, and slowly walked towards the Golden Eagle Seal.
The coercion of the sky dissipated at this moment, as if it had never been before, but Star, who was lying on the ground and still twitching, illustrated the horror of the scene just now.
The third prince picked up the golden eagle seal that had fallen to the ground, "Order the troops to be stationed on the spot!" he said as he handed the seal to the old prophet beside him, and then left proudly ignoring the angry expressions of the dozens of guards present.
Although there were only a few hundred orcs, after the collapse of Star, this army of 20,000 people began to panic, not only because of Star's sudden situation, but also because of the strong strength of this small orc team, which dared to openly besiege the enemy camp a hundred times their size with only a few hundred soldiers, although the word "siege" was used extremely reluctantly, but the fact was that this orc army of only more than 200 people really shocked Star's 20,000 troops.
Night fell quietly, and a touch of black was speeding across the Sha'e Plain.
At this time, the staff headquarters of the Star Army was brightly lit.
"Chief of the General Staff, what should we do now? Should we fight or not?" Although in normal times, as the deputy commander of the army, Ming Hui would not have pleaded bitterly with the general staff of the army as he did today, but the strong enemy was in front, and the general had dropped the chain at this critical moment, which had to make him, a reckless man who did not have the slightest strategic thinking in his stomach, a little anxious.
"How?" asked Chief of Staff Parry rhetorically.
"What do you want to fight? Of course it's a strong attack, I don't believe that our 20,000 people can't beat a few hundred orcs!" Minghui didn't notice Parry's face at this time.
"Ridiculous!" Parry said coldly.
It's like a person who was suddenly exposed to his shortcomings, and Minghui jumped up with a "rub!" sound: "What do you mean by this, Parry, you explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won't be done with you!"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire staff department became tense.
And the officers who were talking in a whisper just now also closed their mouths at this time, and at this time, the words and deeds of the two high-ranking military leaders had evolved from a private exchange just now to an open confrontation.
Looking at the tension on both sides, Parry smiled slightly: "The most taboo thing about the confrontation between the two armies is internal disunity, don't wait for the enemy to attack us and collapse ourselves." With that, Parry sat down to himself.
Don't say it, Parry's simple sentence really works, maybe Minghui also figured it out, he was the first to take the lead and sit down, but looking at his face, he was still a little unconvinced!
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are only seeing the strength of our own strength now, but you are underestimating the strength of the enemy. Although we have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, it seems that we can destroy the enemy by stomping our feet or spitting, but in fact, not to mention the enemy army, the person who claims to be the third prince of the beast clan is extremely difficult to deal with the enemy, you may have seen the current appearance of our general, but I want to ask you if you know the reason why the general appears like this?" Parry looked around, and all that came into his eyes was a pair of confused eyes.
"From what I have just diagnosed the general, the reason why the general appears in this form is entirely due to the sudden burst of fear in the general's brain. ”
"What does it mean to have a brief burst?" Minghui muttered to himself.
"Actually, it's easy to explain, if you use the saying it's ..............." Parry paused suddenly, because he was afraid that something unexpected would happen once he said the following words.
"That is to say, the Admiral was completely frightened like this.................. Parry said, and suddenly felt the entire staff suddenly fall silent.
Minghui, who was still confused, was already furious at this time.
Scared, scared out!
This is an incredible thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is unbelievable in his eyes.
The general's bravery is very famous even in the entire Granton Kingdom, every time he goes into battle, he is the first to rush, even a reckless man like him will have a sense of respect in his heart when he sees Starr, it is simply impossible for such an iron-blooded tough guy to be frightened into a coma!
Not only Minghui, but the other generals and staff officers who fought felt that Parry's statement was simply nonsense, and none of the people who could sit in this camp until now were not subordinates who followed Star from birth to death more than a dozen times, and they would not believe that their respected commander-in-chief Star was a coward who was as timid as a mouse and feared the enemy like a tiger.
It's okay to insult yourself, but if anyone deliberately insults the commander-in-chief they have respected for a long time, then whoever they are, they will go up and tear him to pieces without hesitation, even if you are the chief of the general staff.
Looking at these bloodthirsty eyes, Parry was a little panicked, he knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, he would not see the sun tomorrow: "This, this is a misunderstanding............... No, I mean, the general he ...... He's not what I say, he's a tough guy, a tough guy for him, a hard-blooded man........................ "Parry is going crazy, he's been clever in the past, but he's seriously out of shape when he needs his eloquence now, and all he thinks about is "I'm going to die!" and "I'm going to die!" even though he can come up with some words, but the panic is eating away at him little by little.
Looking at Parry, who was trembling and articulate, Minghui looked away from his bloodthirsty eyes, Minghui had always been disdainful of this kind of person.
"Brothers, our boss was seriously injured by those damn orcs, and everyone said that we could swallow this breath? Now these damn brutes still dare to show off their might at the gate of our village, do you think we can continue to endure it? This group of damned orcs has bullied us into such a field, can we continue to live here leisurely? If it's a man, go out with me, if it's a real soldier, then go out with me to kill the enemy!"
"For the general!" one officer shouted.
If there is one, there will be a second, and if there is a second, there will be a third, and soon the officers of the entire staff raised their hands in approval.
"No, no.................. a voice that is extremely inconsistent with it suddenly sounded in a corner, although the sound is faint, but it is extremely shocking, although it is only a number, it is enough to make countless eyes shoot at this inconspicuous corner.
If you were someone who had seen what had just happened, you would never have thought that Parry would be able to say such a thing, but the truth is shocking. This is Parry has already stood up tremblingly, although the tremors in his body have not completely dissipated, but he has stood up after all, at least better than just cowering in the corner.
Looking at this terrifying gaze, Parry didn't raise his head, because he knew that once he raised it slightly, he would not be able to suppress the deep fear in his heart, so he could only lower his head now: "Everyone, generals, if you rush to attack, once you fail, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Parry, what the hell is going on with you always helping the orcs, did you betray us and take refuge in the orcs!" Minghui saw that Parry didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and came to disturb his affairs again, that fire in his heart!
After Minghui said this, the eyes of the entire staff department were focused on Parry alone, and even some staff officers of the staff department looked at their bosses with some doubts.
This used to seem to him to be a word 108,000 miles away from himself, but today this word is used on him, everything he has done over the years, and his foolish loyalty to the Granton royal family for many years has only been exchanged for an understatement in the end: mutiny!
Parry's head couldn't be lowered any longer, and he raised his head and laughed loudly!
"Hahahahaha!!!!!! "Everything that has accumulated over the years finally exploded at this moment.
Looking at the crazy Parry, Minghui was a little scared at this time, he had seen a lot of all kinds of people, whether it was a cunning enemy, a weak woman or a tough political enemy, he could deal with it easily, but when he faced the person who laughed loudly in front of him, he was helpless.
"What are you laughing at!" Ming Hui thought about it, but he could only face it with toughness.
"I'm sixty years old, do you know what that means?" asked Parry, cluelessly.
Minghui didn't expect Parry to ask like this, and froze in place for a while.
Parry didn't look at Minghui either, and continued: "I've been loyal to Granton for forty years! I've been loyal to two generations of emperors!"
Looking at Parry, whose temples had already turned white, Minghui fell into a deep sense of guilt. The old man in front of him does not seek fame or profit, he selflessly and silently dedicated his time to a country for forty years, but in the end he was charged with a treacherous crime, he only asked for foolish loyalty, and I gave him a charge of treason with the enemy, which is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for a veteran who has been loyal to the country for forty years, a charge of treason with the enemy crossed out his forty years of foolish loyalty in his life, which is not a result that can be accepted silently for anyone, but he can smile frankly, it seems that I am really not as good as him!
Parry is still insane, but the ending is getting more and more towards Parry. After Parry's tossing just now, the entire staff calmed down, and the boiling hot blood in their bodies gradually cooled down.
"I think everyone will disperse today!" said Minghui, who walked alone to Parry.
Looking at Minghui supporting Parry's back, everyone understood in their hearts at this time that everything was doomed!
The night is deeper at this time!
