Chapter 58: Chain Reaction
The Terran cavalry only stayed in the orc camp for half a day before embarking on the road of conquest again.
It was only on the third day after the orc pursuit party was counter-killed by Arthur and his men that the orcs once again locked on to the position of the Terran cavalry.
It's just that what puzzled the orcs was that the direction of the Terran cavalry's escape suddenly changed, from evacuating to the southern Terran border area, and changing the route all the way to the west.
To the west is the Bloody Flame Wolf's sphere of influence.
If the Terran cavalry were allowed to flee into the sphere of influence of the Blood Flame Blue Wolf, it would not be so easy for the army of the Golden Lion Family to collapse and pursue them, and one careless person could provoke a war between the two orc tribes.
What worries Elliot even more is that there are now clues that the Terran cavalry's collision with Hicks' convoy was not a chance encounter, but a well-planned assassination, and behind this assassination there was also the shadow of the space mage who had not appeared for a long time.
So who is behind this assassination of his heir?The Isaac Kingdom, the Bloody Flame Wolf, and even the orc tribes within the royal court who support His Highness's lineage are all possible.
Eliot, the lion king, imagined all kinds of possibilities, but only missed Leon, who had not yet grown up at all.
In any case, the Terran cavalry must not be allowed to escape into the territory of the Bloodflame Blue Wolf, then things will be even more troublesome.
The army in the area near the Golden Lion Family was quickly transferred to the area where the territories of the two clans were handed over, and the Terran cavalry was strictly prevented from escaping into the territory of the Blood Flame Blue Wolf.
As soon as the army on Eliot's side moved, the Bloody Flame Wolf immediately became nervous, and began to strengthen the deployment of troops in the border area between the two races. Even if Prime Minister Toaro personally sent a letter to the wolf lord to explain, the wolf lord still couldn't believe Elliot, and suddenly entered the territory of the blood flame wolf with the loss of his son as an import, isn't this kind of thing Elliot can't do?
The small soldiers stirred up the overall situation of the battlefield, and Arthur and his cavalry, which only had a few hundred people, mobilized hundreds of thousands of orc troops from the two major tribes of orcs.
In addition to the sudden change of direction that confuses the orcs, there is another point that makes the orcs very puzzled. That is the continuous escape battle, this Terran cavalry has obviously reached the point where it is almost unable to hold on, and the distance it moves is getting shorter and shorter day by day, but after disappearing for two days, the speed of the Terran cavalry suddenly increases, as if it has been resurrected with full blood.
The orcs did not notice that this Terran cavalry had unknowingly experienced another attrition, and now there were less than 300 Terran cavalry fleeing all the way.
The few were the wounded who had been wounded before, and along with the wounded, Arthur was missing.
......
Leon finally met Arthur at the location agreed upon by the two parties.
Looking at Arthur, who was riding alone in front of him, Leon looked puzzled, "What about your troops? You won't abandon them and run over by yourself, will you?"
Arthur smiled slightly, "My warriors have had a very pleasant time in the Orc Wasteland these months, and now they are a little reluctant to leave, and they want to see the scenery in the wasteland for a few more days." I'm going to come over and see how you're going to get us back?"
"You don't believe me?" Leon reacted instantly.
"I can't believe you!"
"Then you should believe me when you see me now, right?"
"Half the faith. Arthur said it very bluntly.
Arthur had actually arrived a long time ago, and he dragged on for a day before finally showing up. During this day, he completely surveyed the surrounding terrain, and indeed did not see any orc troops outside of Leon.
Leon curled the corners of his mouth in disdain, "If I'm not going to keep my promise, I can do it now." You're the value I value most in this deal, and your cavalry is worthless in my eyes. ”
"What you think is worthless and can be easily sacrificed, but what I value the most. Arthur shrugged, "There's no point in me arguing with you about this, since I'm here, naturally I'm going to believe in your promises, you can tell me directly now what you're going to do, and I'll ultimately judge whether to trust you completely?"
"The reason why you are so embarrassed now is because the target is too obvious, and the orcs of the entire wasteland are your enemies. Abandon your silver-horned stag and join my ranks, and I will have a way to take you through the cedar forest and back to the Terran realm. ”
Arthur's face was expressionless, but his heart was fiercely fighting, Leon's plan was too risky! Giving up the silverhorn stag would lose its ability to move quickly and blend into the orc team, if the other party suddenly moved, his own warriors would immediately fall into a siege.
Arthur looked Leon in the eye, "How can I really trust you?"
"Can you bet?" Leon looked at Arthur with a smirk.
......
Red Rock City, the Great Tent of the Chinese Army of the Wind and Snow Legion.
The whining trumpet sounded, and the Wind and Snow Legion raised its account.
The tent curtain was high, and the generals above the division commander of the Wind and Snow Corps gathered, and more than 30 tall, short, fat and thin generals stood on the left and right sides in the wide camp tent.
In the middle of the tent was a tall handsome chair, and on top of the handsome chair sat Prince Hobbes, the commander of the legion, who had not been seen for a long time.
The prince wore a blue soft armor today, and although he had white hair, his face was ruddy and his eyes were bright. The back that is usually slightly rickety in the palace is now quite straight, and Hobbes in the military camp seems to be a completely different person, and from that sharp and murderous gaze, he seems to see the demeanor of the iron-blooded prince again.
The deputy commander of the legion, Keno, also had a serious face, and sat next to the head of Prince Hobbes, and no one in the big tent was qualified to sit except for the two.
"The reason for this king's promotion this time must be clear to the generals, and they can't imagine that this king can have a happy battle with the orcs before he dies. Hobbes was quiet, but full of breath.
"I am willing to go to the battlefield with the commander of the army and swear to serve my life!" the two generals shouted in unison.
With a smile on his face, Prince Hobbes turned to look at Keno, "I heard there's something new going on over there with the orcs?"
Kino coughed lightly, "The information that the Golden Lion and the Blood Flame Blue Wolf will lead the invasion of 500,000 orcs must be clear to the generals, but you may not know the reason yet. General Joshua's infantry squadron broke through to the orcs at the beginning of the war, and then killed Hicks, the son of Eliot, who was on the front line, and Eliot, the lion king, took revenge on his son. ”
Keno deliberately concealed Arthur and Huey's relationship with him and didn't say anything.
"Who did that?
"Impossible, how can a squadron of warriors kill the son of the lion king?"
"This is a smoke bomb deliberately released by the orcs, right?"
As soon as Keno's voice fell, there was an uproar, and many people looked at Joshua.
Joshua himself was at a loss, and he didn't know what was going on.
Keno made a gesture before the generals stopped talking.
"It may sound incredible, but this information came from over there, and it's basically verified. This squadron not only succeeded in assassinating Hicks, but also managed to escape, and now has more than 100,000 orc troops in the orc wasteland. ”
The generals are staggered one by one, and one squadron can contain more than 100,000 orcs, which is simply a fantasy!
Kino deliberately paused for a moment to make the generals wake up from their surprise before continuing: "You should know the abnormal reaction of the orcs in front of you, all the orc troops have stopped continuing to advance towards Red Rock City, and many cavalry units have even retreated. ”
The generals in the account naturally knew the movements of the orc troops on the opposite side, and only now did they figure out the reason for the orc's abnormality, but they didn't expect that a small squadron would cause such a big chain reaction.
"What is happening in the Orc Wasteland is far from us, but the affairs of our realm cannot be allowed to be so casual by the Orcs, before Elliot's army enters the country, our Wind and Snow Legion will give him a big gift!" Kino said with a murderous expression.
