Chapter 117: Persuasion
A bright moon hung high in the night sky, covering the earth with a layer of silver. The cold wind of late autumn has become increasingly sluggish www.biquge.info bringing bursts of cold. A huge wolf crouched on the roof of the town hall, accompanied by its blood relative, General Hodder.
Looking at the castle in the distance, with the wolf clan's excellent visual ability at night, General Hod could vaguely see the soldiers who were constantly patrolling the castle, as well as the occasional glimmer of silver in the halberds in their hands.
"Alas~!" General Hod sighed faintly, that Baron Leo was really cautious, and it seemed that a night attack was unlikely.
"How good it would be if such a genius came from his own wolf clan!"
Perhaps because of his age, General Hod thought of his own race unconsciously, although the wolf clan seemed to be in the higher race of the Orc Empire, no one dared to touch its edge with the prestige of the wolf cavalry. But in fact, as other races have emerged one after another geniuses that are rare in a century, the seemingly powerful wolf clan has gradually fallen into decline, and there are already many races waiting for an opportunity to move. If it weren't for the support of the close relatives of the Gang and the Dog Clan, I am afraid that the position of the higher races would have been lost.
This invasion war in the rear of the human race will definitely not allow failure, General Hod clenched his fists in his hands and secretly said, one step to heaven and one step to hell, success can ensure the glory of the wolf clan continues, defeat is a group of attacks, the wolf clan can only be reduced to a secondary race, reduced to a vassal of other races.
Far above the castle, Leo finished his pranayama with the assistance of Feng Xifan, and inspected the castle's defense in high spirits. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, a fierce battle during the day, after Leo who had exhausted his internal strength recovered, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his total internal force had increased significantly, and his use of swordsmanship was more proficient.
There was not a grain left for the wolf cavalry in the town of Beiyuan, and the corpses of the same clan that were thrown out of the castle by Leo naturally became a feast for the wolf cavalry. Originally, he thought that those wolf cavalry were collecting the corpses of his companions, but Leo did not order to embarrass them, after all, according to the human opinion, the dead are safe to enter the earth, but in the eyes of the wolf clan, being able to fill the stomach of their fellow clan is a worthy death. After eating and drinking, resting properly, the two sides spent a peaceful night tacitly.
The next morning, Leo was awakened by the howl of wolves, and the oppressive wolf cavalry once again covered the open space in front of the castle.
"Is that Baron Leo?" General Hodder did not rush to attack the city, but came to the castle with a few wolf guards, and shouted to the castle.
Leo stood on the high lookout, looked coldly at the gray-skinned werewolf below, and replied unceremoniously: "I am Leo, if you have anything to say, say it quickly!"
"Hehe~, Baron Leo is really a young talent, he can train such an elite warrior at a young age, and his courage is not small, he dares to block my wolf clan soldiers!" General Hod was not annoyed, but praised his mouth, which made Leo feel confused.
"My wolf clan was ordered by the Beast Emperor to attack the rear of the human race, so that the western defense line of the Human Sacred Griffin Empire could not be taken care of, and then the wise and martial Beast Emperor personally commanded my orc army to attack, this time we will definitely be able to break through the human defense line, and from then on the entire continent will be included in the hunting ground of my Orc Empire. "General Hod gave his combat mission and the discernment.
"I believe that Baron Leo was also a wise man, and that a wise man would not hang himself on a rope, for there is an old proverb that says that a wise bird chooses the branch that best suits him to perch. Presumably, Baron Leo should also know that at this moment, my orc empire is the most suitable choice for you. If Baron Leo can return to my orc empire, he will be the prince of the future, and your Excellency will have it at your fingertips!"
After talking for a long time, Leo realized that the orc wanted to surrender himself. Who said that the orcs were just a group of coarse and brainless beasts, who only knew how to run rampant by force? Listen to what the following orc said, coercion and temptation are all out, and it is clear that they are brave and strategic.
"How can you guarantee that what you say will be fulfilled?" Leo did not refuse, which gave General Hod a glimmer of hope for success.
"Your Excellency Leo, don't worry, I am General Hodder, the general of the higher races of the Orc Empire, and my words are enough to ensure your glory and wealth in the future!"
Leo was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect it to be a big fish. The left hand hidden under the battlements made a slight gesture, and the two soldiers on Leo's side pointed their crossbows directly at General Hodder, and as the knock sounded, two cold rays of light shot straight towards General Hodder's eyebrows and chest.
If you can snipe the enemy general, then it will decisively change the entire situation. The warriors of the Wei Kingdom, who are also from the earth, are the same as Leo, they do not have the aristocratic fighting style that this world pursues, and they don't think that sneak attacks are anything unseemly, as long as they can achieve their goals.
General Hod under the city never imagined that the dignified human nobles would resort to such despicable means when negotiating. However, to be able to become a leading general, its own martial arts are also extremely exquisite, the crossbow arrow is extremely fast, and it is too late to pull out the scimitar on his waist, and General Hod has to twist his waist to avoid it.
The bolt that had been shot at the front chest grazed the fur, bringing up a strand of gray hair and sinking deep into the ground. The crossbow bolt that shot between General Hodder's eyebrows left a deep gap in General Hodder's left eyebrow, taking away the left half of his eyebrow along with a large piece of flesh and blood, and blood instantly gushed out of the wound and dripped down the hair, staining most of General Hodder's face red.
Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack, the perfect opportunity did not cause any major damage to the enemy generals, and Leo slammed his fist on the city wall in frustration. However, he immediately ordered the soldiers to fire a salvo of crossbows, and anyway, they had already torn their faces, so they didn't have to worry about anything.
After General Hodder flashed two crossbow arrows, he turned to look at Leo above the castle and roared, "Despicable human ......"
Before the words fell, he saw that the soldiers on the city wall all took a step forward, and the strong crossbows in their hands were pointed at him, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and he didn't care about what to reprimand, so he turned his head and ran away with a strange scream.
General Hod saw the opportunity very quickly, but escaped with his life, but his guards were not so lucky, in a burst of machine knocks, those originally lined up guard wolf riders became the best target, just turned around and was about to run away was nailed to death under the city, only a few lucky people were able to escape.
General Hodder, who had fled back to the army in a hurry, did not care to bandage his wounds, and angrily shouted to several captains of the thousand cavalry who had come to greet him: "Siege the city! Attack the castle today, and I will teach this damned Baron Leo a good lesson!" (To be continued.) )
