98. The Father and the Son
Haven slowly lowered the minotaur, which was nearly three times his size, with relative ease, and then took out a packet of powder from his arms. It is said that after the advent of moon cancer, in order to study how to fight the strong erosive and addictive nature of moon cancer, the by-product of the drug developed by nine places has a paralyzing and hallucinogenic effect.
The death of the other signal guard was much more peaceful, and he slept with a hint of laughter and blood.
The seemingly rudimentary communication station is troublesome because of the existence of this camp, and the strong attack with superior forces will inevitably be discovered by the lookout, and then the signal station will inevitably ignite the beacon fire, so to take this place, the only way to do it is to blend in and make plans.
"Brother, I brought you the bedding, can you come down and get it?" or should I bring it to you?"
"Hmm, please send it to my brother, my duty lies, I can't leave without permission. ”
"Well, wait. The zealous minotaur slung the bedding on his shoulders, threw off his arms and climbed upward, and at the same time, made a strange gesture.
The members of the Boulder Team streamed out of the tents, armed with their own right of being.
Bane climbed onto the lookout, easily solved the "brother" who was waiting for him to deliver the bedding, took out two wooden sticks from his waist bag, lit the fire, rowed three times on the left and three circles on the right, and after three times, reinforcements covered by the wind and sand appeared in Bane's field of vision.
Boulder lifted the curtain of the tent door and looked around proudly, but his expression instantly turned to flattery, and he took a step to the side, "General." The boulder bowed and saluted, and the next minotaur to emerge from the tent was Caesar himself.
Caesar's men cooperated with Haven and easily controlled Takayama's minotaurs, while Takayama himself was still lying in the middle of the camp with a flask. The reinforcements who entered the camp one after another looked at him a little... Sympathize?
"General, I... I've fulfilled my promise, can I go? Boulder asked in a soft tone completely different from his name. This is also a matter of no way, his team in the patrol process, first because of the opponent's three rounds of concentrated fire and retreat in the opposite direction, but on the way to retreat met Caesar waiting there, just five minutes, more than a dozen brothers returned to the ancestors, only he survived, he did not dare to provoke the minotaur in front of him.
Then the boulder tried it in the hands of a small rabbit man, what is called cold and piercing... It felt like Boulder definitely didn't want to try again, even if he promised to cooperate obediently, the damn dark elf still fed him four different colors of powder, Boulder didn't even bother to remember the name, he just needed to remember the cooperation, and then get the antidote to live.
At first, the boulder still had some cow manliness, but... That rabbit man is so hateful!
"Boulder Mountain, an elite warrior of the mountain tribe, the leader of the 36th column (squad) of the camp on the border of the Nar River, was ostracized by the mountains because of his love of male style, and was publicly insulted as a cow with a mountain on his back, and he has held a grudge for a long time. And, with a younger brother, we're already in control. ”
After the rabbit man said this, the mighty minotaur spoke, and the boulder later learned that his name was Caesar... Caesar Bloodhoof, who has always been inseparable from the word treason.
"I'll give you two options. One: Death. Two: Take us into the camp, I will help you subdue the mountains and mountains, as you like, and then you can do whatever you want. If you want to die or run, the Bloodhoof clan won't get in the way. ”
Has he been ostracized and looked at strangely for a long time, not to mention that for the safety of his younger brother, Jushi chose the second without hesitation. So Boulder infiltrated the camp with a dozen or so minotaurs of the Bloodhoof tribe in disguise, as well as Caesar himself. The most thrilling step was passed without any suspense!?
Before the operation, Boulder had mentioned that Takayama had always been at odds with him, and that every time he returned to the camp from patrol, he would carefully interrogate where he had been, what he had done, and... Most of Boulder's subordinates still have the impression that even if the warriors of the Bloodhoof tribe are also minotaurs, there will still be subtle differences.
But once again, this concern was dispelled by the rabbit man.
"Mountains, mountains. Cruel and belligerent by nature, greedy and selfish, bloodthirsty and alcoholic. The little white rabbit added, "Four days ago I arranged for the Traveling Merchant to 'happen to pass by' by here and sell him an enhanced version of the Elven Brew, and it has been observed that he drinks in his tent at a fixed time every day after dinner. I believe that with his selfishness, when you go back at that time, he is not willing to let you smell the wine in your mouth, not to mention, it is still an enhanced version. ”
"Moo, you're drugged?" Caesar still had to figure things out.
"Hehe, I just found a way to strengthen the smell and aftertaste, as well as the degree of stomach swelling and the ease of getting drunk. ”
As a result, Haiwen became a male pet who was "captured" by the boulder, and only he was light in action, and he with a smaller target was capable of taking out the task of killing the signal station guards, and Xiaobai couldn't continue to stay because of other things, so he left first.
His four hooves were bound and he lay on the ground like a dead mountain pig, and a bucket of cold water suddenly woke him up. Before he could grasp the situation, he saw the boulder carrying the bucket, and he was furious, and shouted: "Boulder! What do you want to do? You want to rebel! Why don't you let go of Lao Tzu quickly!"
"Hey, hey. The boulder's laughter made Takayama's heart furle... Realizing that it was not good, Takayama struggled in horror, but as a result, his hands and feet were imprisoned together, and he found that he could only keep his hands up and his legs up.
"Grass, boulders, don't come here!"
"Don't you always look down on me, don't you always let me do all the hard work and enjoy myself in the camp? Isn't it because you're a close confidant of the Patriarch of Usquik? Long-term depression and low self-esteem made the boulder become hysterical in fear.
The scene of the crime has long been covered by a soundproof barrier, so what's going on... Not many people know. It's just that the boulder still had an unbelievable expression before he died, and that damn Caesar actually broke his promise?!
Caesar was very calm about this, "We Bloodhoof tribes really didn't do anything. But he's a dark elf, and it's not in our hands. ”
Haven Hansam cooperated with Caesar and bowed gracefully.
"I always feel like there's something strange about your characteristics. ”
"General, by Quezas's standards, I'd be considered a magic swordsman, with a bit of a stalker. ”
"Moo... It's complicated. But thanks to you, otherwise this seemingly simple matter would still be a bit troublesome. "The battle plan is simple, it boils down to suppressing the camp before the signal station sends a signal.
However, Caesar's mixed brigade, except for the Minotaurs, is a small number of rabbit people and canine scouts, and it is more than enough to storm the camp head-on, and it is more difficult to ensure that the signal station is not fired.
"General, the camp has been suppressed, Gao Shan and Boulder are dead, next?"
"Moo. Caesar scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Use this camp as a base and spread to the other two border camps around, and I will stay to deal with the regular contact that Chief Bai said, Bane!"
"Patriarch! ”
"Well done, the waist card of the high mountain is given to you, you take your brother to the south in the name of 36 columns, and take another one for me. After making sure that the three camps are in hand, we can let the brothers enter the Furious Flame Territory without worrying about being discovered. "The rest of the 1st Special Mixed Brigade is still on standby in other places, and it is very difficult to hide in order not to be discovered. According to Xiaobai's intelligence and the battle plan of the General Staff, as long as the three camps on the line are taken and relied on each other, it can ensure that the brigade enters the flames without making waves. It can also quietly control a small gate on the border of the furious flame, so that the subsequent actions can be counted as attacking and retreating.
"Order!Patriarch, I'm leaving!" Bain saluted, picked twelve minotaur warriors, and left the camp directly.
"Moo. I'll leave the rest to you, Captain Haven. ”
"Yes. Haven likewise, saluted and prepared to go.
"Moo. "Sitting in the camp and waiting for the legendary regular contact once every few days, Caesar was also quite bored. "Sure enough, it's still charged. ”
I don't know if Caesar was lucky, or if Fury's regular contact was too rough, Caesar waited three days to wait for the legendary liaison soldier, a total of them...
"Well, so Captain Takayama isn't in the camp, he's out?"
"Moo, it's the ground. Caesar nodded.
"What did you do?"
"Moo, how do we know, but I heard that a few traveling merchants passed by a while ago, and I guess I went after them. ”
"Oh, got it. The liaison soldier's disapproval caused Caesar's fist to loosen behind his back.
"Moo, sir, do you know what our captain is doing?"
"Well, I don't know, it's probably a confidential mission arranged by the above. The liaison soldier pondered in his heart, sure enough, it was Gao Shan's style, and most of them went to chase merchants to buy wine.
"Moo, I see. ”
"I always feel like the way you speak is a little strange. ”
"Moo!?"
"It seems like only the Bloodhoof guys like to moo. ”
"Oh, isn't this the traitor who brought people to harass them at the border a while ago, and our captain took us to do them, and I felt that moo was very imposing! ”
The liaison soldier nodded, "Indeed, but next time, pay attention, if you meet someone else, you will treat it as a spy and correct the law on the spot." ”
"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder. Caesar barely managed to squeeze out a smile that he thought was flattering.
"Where's Captain Boulder?"
"Sir, I know that we were going on patrol today, but our captain sent Captain Boulder and his men out early in the morning. ”
"Oh, got it. The liaison soldier sighed helplessly and said, "I still want to persuade your captain, he always does this, which is not conducive to the unity of the tribe." ”
"Sir, look at me here. Caesar said, rolling up his sleeves and revealing his stout arms, "I didn't want to persuade me that day, so I asked our captain to burn me with a scar, where would you dare." ”
"Hey. Okay, so be it. "The liaison soldier is helpless, Gao Shan is the patriarch's cronies, this is something that everyone knows, the patriarch doesn't care, which one has a way, he just said it casually, I didn't expect this Geng Zhizhi to really persuade him.
"Hey, sir, I'm leaving, sit down and get something to eat before I go." ”
"No, no, there are other places to go, just the three of us, we still have to hurry. ”
"The chief's work is so important, so hard, is there no one to escort?"
"What's the matter, the troops were already tight, and the patriarch wanted to let the clansmen learn a new type of rage, but he transferred most of the troops back to Babula, and now it should be to the front line. ”
"Then we are also arranged in this place where birds don't, and we also want to go to the front. ”
"Don't worry, isn't this arranged?"
"Oh, sir, what's the plan up there?"
"I shouldn't have told you that this is not the captain of the mountain, and when he comes back, remember to tell him that the patriarch asked him to take people back to Babula City within five days. ”
"Sir, that's... Don't you have any tokens, documents or anything like that?"
"Hmph, you're smart, if you agree directly, I'll kill you. Oh, take it and see if it's true. The liaison soldier took out an iron sign engraved with the totem of the Minotaur ancestor from his waist, and a symbol of the head of the Tiger Clan, and handed it to Caesar.
After Caesar took it carefully, he secretly wiped a cold sweat, fortunately I asked the old cow casually, otherwise there would be a problem.
"I know, I'll pass it on to the captain when he comes back. Caesar handed the sign back, and the liaison officer took it, nodded in satisfaction, turned and beckoned to the two guards to leave.
Rightfully so, they didn't get out of the camp. After making sure that there were no guards outside, and there were only three people, and they were carrying tokens, Caesar would let them leave alive?
After dragging the body to a ravine far away and disposing of it, Caesar sat in the camp, tossing tokens up and down like Moon, with the liaison armor in front of him.
According to the intelligence brought by Xiaobai and the battle plan of the General Staff, Caesar was originally required to secretly occupy a few border strongholds of Fury, which was equivalent to opening an opening in the gate of Fury Flame, so that Quezas would have the opportunity to benefit from Fury's civil war in the future.
It is true that the nine places are developing rapidly, because most of the orcs in Quezas are middle- and lower-class races, and they do not have access to the high-level battle plans and detailed information, although Xiaobai can be spiritualized, but after all, she only has one rabbit. Therefore, on the whole, what the Tiger Clan rebels and the Mountain Clan Minotaur are planning to do, it is still not easy for the Nine Divisions and the General Staff to know.
It stands to reason that after Caesar took control of the three strongholds, he dispersed the forces of the mixed brigade and held these three points that were dangerous and mutually supportive, and the original purpose of the battle was accomplished. Isn't this Caesar's reluctance?
Ersquik must have the next plan of action, and will transfer back the minotaur who assisted in guarding the border, combined with Ersquik's character, even if he gives up the border stronghold, he will have to fight, is it the new berserk skill of the Tiger Clan? And Babula City is one of the closest cities to Huju Ridge, very close, at the foot of the mountain.
Judging from the tiger head match given to Caesar by the liaison soldiers, this action was also agreed to by the Tiger Clan, could it be that Simba's government forces gave too much pressure?
Caesar felt that the head was big, and Moon said that sometimes opportunities are fleeting, and the so-called opportunity cannot be lost, and it will never come again. But now Xiaobai, Bane, and Haven are not around. Caesar felt that he had encountered the greatest challenge in the life of the ox.
With this set of armor and tokens of the Tiger and Ox clans, Caesar felt that he could easily master the Flame Frontier in the Tiger Clan's controlled area, so wouldn't the original plan to open an opening in the west of the Flame be overfulfilled? Moreover, the restriction of three strongholds was broken, and the troops could enter the Flame from the place they wanted, and it would also interfere with the enemy's judgment to a certain extent.
Caesar was still a little entangled, the rabbit people were eaten like animals, which made him have no good impression of the lion and tiger tribes who knew about it, coupled with the hat of treason, several pursuits, Caesar's only bit of homeland feelings were about to be negative.
Within five days, that is... Caesar took out the map from his bag, the Tiger Clan-controlled area, part of the lava field formed by the eruption of the volcanic group to the west of the flames, and several rift zones next to each other to the south... Do you really want to thank the Tiger rebels for the fact that the border of the controlled area is not big?
Babula City. This is the closest to Huju Ridge, a fortified city with strong defense, strictly speaking, it can be regarded as the bridgehead of Huju Ridge, and it itself assumes a defensive role.
The rugged style unique to the orcs can't change the fact that the walls are high and the city is strong, as long as the food is sufficient, relying on the support of the Tiger Ridge behind them, it is not a problem to defend the siege of the enemy army about five times as much, if the soldiers defending the city are warriors of a strong race, the enemy army ten times their own is not impossible to call.
Kunamata, the commander-in-chief of the Mountain Clans assisting the Tiger Clan in defending the border, and the Commander of the Overseer. He had been waiting outside the city of Babula for several days, and he immediately retreated to Babula on the orders of the patriarch Usquik.
On the third day after receiving the order, Kuna Mata waited outside the city, and he could not enter the city together until his deployment had arrived, and the city defense army only allowed him to pass once, and he could not help it.
Fortunately, his subordinates are more powerful, and the battalion has gathered nearly two thousand people one after another, and today is the last day for the patriarch to set a deadline to fight, and after that, whether anyone arrives or not, Kunamata does not plan to wait any longer, you must know that Usquik's military orders have always been very strict.
He probably knew Ersquik's thoughts, and he was extremely nervous at this time, and suddenly summoned his people to return to the fortress city of the Tiger Clan, and he must be ready to make the next move, which is really imaginative, but Kuna Mata is destined to be unable to participate.
Kunamata paced restlessly in her room, for dinner time was approaching, and it seemed that there was still a group of people who had not yet arrived, and that there were more than 3,000 of her men.
The commotion outside the camp interrupted Kunamata's thoughts, and his heart tightened and he was at the same time happy.
"Sir!" a deep voice sounded in Kunamata's ear, "Columns 36 to 48 tribal warriors, ordered to return to the team. ”
The twitch at the corner of Kunamata's mouth was skillfully concealed by him, and he nodded and motioned for the other party to lead people into the camp. With the arrival of these thousand or so people, the more than 3,000 tribal warriors under his command can be regarded as complete. After that, he had already packed his bags and waited for the arrival of the last group of people to officially enter the city of Babula.
While waiting for the verification process, Kunamata tried to speak several times, but finally swallowed back hesitantly. When he stood at the gate and watched the last minotaur enter the city, and the gate was slammed shut, a line of tears flowed from his eyes.
"Overseer, homesick?" asked a small leader of the city guards, handing over a handkerchief.
"Well, it's a little. The wife and calf haven't seen each other for a long time. Kuna Mata took the handkerchief, wiped it and said, "Sometimes, I really can't help myself, in case things don't go well in the future, remember to save my life." ”
"Yes, yes, the Overseers said. "When the little man saw Kuna Mata who was walking away, he was still scolding in his heart, what did he say? He didn't ask me what my name was, how would I be promoted in the future?
Babula City, the fortress city of the Tiger Ridge, the main army of the Tiger Clan is stationed in six, the auxiliary soldiers of each tribe, and nearly 100,000 people, due to the fierce battle between the two tribes of the Lion and Tiger, the six main army corps almost poured out to support the front line, and the Minotaur Usquak Shanling of the Mountain Tribe, on the grounds of the end of the previous cooperation, suspended the military assistance to the Tiger Clan.
After negotiations, the Tiger Clan's high-ranking leaders were once again supported by the Mountain Tribes at the cost of a new berserk, and this Kula, who temporarily assisted in the border defense, was the last group of Mountain Tribes Minotaurs waiting to be transformed.
The other more than 30,000 minotaurs have already completed the transformation and were taken to the front line by Ersquik to kill the Quartet, Babula City is still too far away from the front line, and with the back of the Tiger Clan's base camp Huju Ridge, no one thought that there would be enemies who could easily bypass countless levels and appear directly in the city.
Fundamentally, the battle mode of the Hidden Lan rarely appears in battle columns such as surprise attacks, if nothing else, a single reason why the characteristics of the various races are obviously too different is enough. How can Naga hide from the scouts of the Bloods? The difference between flying in the sky with wings and crawling on the ground is still too obvious.
The follow-up order received by Kuna Mata was to rush to the front line as quickly as possible after the transformation of all the staff, and assist the main force of the mountain tribe to cripple the main force of the lion clan... After that, since you can solve the main force of the Lion Clan, why can't you go back and eat the Tiger Clan rebels?
It's just that Kunamata has no intention of giving any orders now, and now he is prostrate on the ground like a fish on the shore, with his head tilted up and his mouth wide open, just to dispel the illusion that he can't breathe.
The delicate armor had long been thrown aside by him, and the strange itch on his skin made him can't help but scratch it, even if the skin was dry and bloody, he didn't feel the itch. Shaking like a sifting of chaff, Kunamata only felt that his whole body was sometimes hot and his skin was cracking, and sometimes it was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, and he turned to scratch his neck frantically, learning the appearance of a fish just to allow himself to breathe freely, and the blood marks were enough to prove that his strength was a little.
Caesar sat on a chair on one side of the room, a slight unbearability in his eyes.
"My lord, sir, no, ancestors, please, show mercy, I have not revealed anything, I have brought you into the city as promised, please, show mercy. Kunamata's tears were mixed with snot, almost converging into an inlet.
"Moo. It's not that I'm not keeping my word. Caesar let out a puff of white air from his nose. "I have the lives of more than 2,000 brothers on my shoulders, and I really can't let you do too much. ”
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, I didn't do anything. Kunamata didn't dare to let go of his crying, the feeling of aggrieved, the physical and mental pain made him want to die quickly, but when he knew that his wife and young calf were also in danger of being eroded by this feeling, he couldn't even ask for death, the so-called dilemma of life and death, about that.
