Chapter 152: Soldier Speed
Chirp!" Two crisp eagle chirps suddenly sounded in the sky.
"Woohoo!
With the shrill whistle coming from the ranks below, a snow-white swift eagle rushed down from the clouds, aiming straight for the red-armored cavalryman who had just whistled with bamboo.
The Eagle landed lightly on the horseman's arm, with a bamboo pipe tied to its leg.
The cavalry took out a note from the subjective part of the eagle's leg, then handed the note to another cavalryman, and took out a strip of meat and fed it to the eagle.
Swift Eagle swallowed the strip of meat in his mouth, and then chirped twice, signaling that he wanted more. The cavalryman who was in charge of feeding it took out another strip of meat, and Swifthawk swallowed it again.
The cavalryman who got the note from Swift Eagle clamped his horse's belly between his legs and drove his horse forward.
Russell and Anne were at the front of the line, chatting as they rode their horses.
"Anne, I've always felt that it was an unwise choice for Lord Augsg to send you with me. I'm afraid that if I come out with you this time, that guy Gadar will be jealous. Russell spread his hands helplessly.
Anne twisted her face, snorted coldly, and said, "He dares to eat my jealousy? Last time he went out with other girls and did something, he knew it in his own heart, and he thought I didn't know." Dare to do such a thing behind my back, let him be jealous, so that he can understand whether I am important or not!"
"Uh......" Russell wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thought to Anne, too, who was jealous. Last time, Gadar went out on a mission with Charlotte, the girl who had been pursuing him, and the girl was moved by him, but this guy didn't refuse to come and slept with the girl.
Poor this fellow, I thought Anne was kept in the dark and didn't know anything. Who would have thought that Anne knew everything, but she didn't want to say it to save face for him.
Seeing Anne's mighty appearance, Russell was suddenly a little glad that Anne didn't choose him at the beginning, otherwise he would probably be subject to the same strict control as his wife now.
Who would have thought that the gentle and kind Anne had such a violent and dark side behind her back, and she was indeed the operational staff officer of the General Staff, even if she looked weak on the outside, she was extremely strong on the inside.
While Russell was thinking there, a cavalryman caught up from behind.
"Report to the Legion Chief, Stormwind Command!" said the cavalryman as he handed the note from Swift Eagle to Russell.
Russell took the note and waved his hand at the cavalry, who retreated in amusement.
"Stormwind has come to report the battle? Could it be that they won't be able to hold the city? We'll need at least half a day to get there. Anne stuck her head out of the way.
"No," Russell shook his head and said, "The 'Lion Claw' Legion arrived early, I didn't expect them to come faster than us." The 'Lionclaw' Legion launched an attack on the Elven 'Red Leaves' Legion, and the Elves did not expect that there would suddenly be an additional legion in the city, and the surprise attack caused them to retreat one after another, and we were not far away. We're afraid we'll be in contact with them soon. ”
Anne's eyes widened in surprise, and she said, "How is it possible? We are cavalry troops, how can they arrive faster than us?"
"Needless to say?" Russell spread his hands, "They must have teleported over with the help of the teleportation array, you think there are so many people in Stormwind City, I'm afraid there are no magicians, of course the magicians of the elven clan will relax their vigilance, it is impossible to monitor whether there are magic fluctuations in it all day long." Snott is probably using the blind spot of the elves' surveillance, and he likes to play with such surprise attacks. ”
Slot, the leader of the "Lion's Claw" legion, and Russell are very good friends, and Russell knows Slot's tactics very well. This guy was originally a Soul Reaver Assassin who was good at surprise attacks, and when he became the Legion Commander, Snott gave them the ability of the Assassin to his legion, causing their legion to become a ghost legion, because you never know when his legion will emerge from which horn.
Russell sometimes really thinks that this guy just changed the name of the legion to "ghost", and the domineering name of "Lionclaw" does not match their elusive nature at all.
"Well, I'll admit, this commander is very capable, and he can actually teleport 100,000 troops to Stormwind City without knowing it with the help of the teleportation array, how did I not know that we still have such a good commander?" As the operational staff officer of the General Staff, Anne knew the commanders of all races very well, but she did not know that there was such an excellent commander, which made Anne very surprised.
It doesn't make sense, such a good commander should have been known to the public for a long time.
Russell saw Anne's frowning look and knew what she was thinking every day, so he explained: "This guy Slote was originally an assassin, so he is especially good at hiding, and he is usually low-key like a transparent person, if it weren't for my very good relationship with him, I wouldn't have thought about his true abilities at all." ”
"Oh, it's an Assassin, so I understand that Assassins are usually secretive about their true strength, so it's okay that when we need him one day, we can use the characteristics that others don't know about him to carry out a surprise attack. Anne nodded knowingly. Assassins are indeed very secretive beings, and it is rare for an Assassin to let others know how strong they really are.
"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, this guy himself thinks so. ”
The two continued to discuss the battle plan, and at this time, the scout who had been sent out for twenty miles also returned.
"Report to the Legion Commander that we have found traces of the enemy, it is the Elven Legion, numbering about 70,000, and it is expected that we will come into contact in a quarter of an hour!" said the scout.
Scouts are made up of elite veterans who can tell how many people there are in the enemy by their formation and the sounds they make when they move.
The number of an integrated legion is 100,000, but the scouts presume that the number of the other party is only 70,000, and it seems that this army should be the elven "Red Leaf" legion that retreated by a surprise attack by the "Lion Claw" legion. As for the 30,000 men who were missing, they had clearly been wiped out.
The enemy lost 30,000 people, and it seems that the "Lion Claw" legion fought very well this time, and I am afraid that when they attacked, the elves had not yet reacted.
"Snotter, this guy hit them a surprise attack, and I can't show weakness," Russell nodded thoughtfully, stretched out his hand to call the herald, "Release the scouts again, notify the troops, prepare in a formation, and meet the enemy at any time!"
