Chapter Seventy-Six: Advancing and Retreating Together
Deciduous Lake, the bearded man sat close to Ah Heng on the shore, and beside them were the soldiers of the wolf cavalry battalion who had survived the catastrophe, desperately pouring water into their throats one by one, and after the brutal battle and nervous escape, their throats had already been burned to smoke.

The bearded man glanced at the dark guard wrapped in a black cloak not far away, and whispered, "They killed the cavalry of those ten guards brigades." β
Ah Heng nodded: "These are the secret guards of the Lost Town, they are extremely skilled, and darkness is their best weapon." The Orc Guards Brigade was strong, but only ten, and in the dark and defenseless, it was no match for them. β
The bearded man nodded, thoughtful, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't say it.
Ah Heng looked at the other party with a smile, knowing that under the other party's seemingly rough appearance, he actually had an extremely sharp heart, otherwise he would not have deliberately let himself escape when he was in the camp. Looking at the appearance of the bearded man who was entangled in toothache, Ah Heng knew that he didn't need to urge at all, and the other party would definitely ask.
Sure enough, the bearded man glanced at the people around him, and finally made up his mind to ask, "Ah Heng, who are you?"
This question was ambiguous, but Ah Heng knew what the other party wanted to know. Ah Heng smiled slightly and nodded: "The rumors are not wrong, I am indeed the undead of the Frozen Clan. Looking at the bearded man's frozen expression, Ah Heng laughed, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "However, don't worry, I will always be from our northern Xinjiang." β
The bearded man also laughed, and slammed Ah Heng's shoulder hard and said, "I knew that you kid was not that kind of white-eyed wolf." So I'm relieved. Ah Heng rubbed the shoulder that was injured by the beard before, and didn't say much. Bearded people typically belong to the kind of people who "don't see the right eye, lie all the time, see pleasing to the eye, and dig out their hearts and lungs." Ah Heng could see that the bearded man was sincere to him.
Ah Heng also obviously felt the relief of the soldiers of the wolf cavalry camp around him, and he could see that everyone here was unwilling to be an enemy of him. For the people of Wolf City, racial estrangement is not a reason for hostility, only the invaders are the real enemy.
"Ah Heng, are all those guards your subordinates?" asked the bearded man, pointing at the guards.
"Men well, maybe. But I prefer to think of them as a group of simple-minded friends. Ah Heng smiled, unwilling to explain more.
The bearded man also laughed, this kid is actually an emotional master, which is very much the appetite of the wolf riding camp. He asked, "And what are you going to do, take them back to Wolf City?"
"Yes, I do want to take them back to Wolf City. Ah Heng thought for a moment before saying, "Chief Ah Heng's beard, in fact, I have been waiting for you, or to be precise, waiting for the soldiers of the wolf cavalry battalion to arrive here alive. β
"Wait for us?" asked the bearded man, confused.
"Yes, what I'm going to say next, it may be unbelievable, but it's a fact. β
The bearded man saw that Ah Heng's face was cautious, and the other party in his heart was by no means untargeted, so he straightened up and listened.
"Prince Wen Ye Chong is preparing to rebel, he intends to murder the Governor and subvert the Northern Frontier. After Ah Heng finished speaking, he stared at the bearded man's eyes tightly, and he wanted to see any change in the other party's eyes. Because of the same thing he said this is the second time. The first time he said it, he buried the wolf riding camp. Speaking out this time, he didn't want to bring uncertain disaster again.
"What?" the bearded man stood up abruptly, "Murder of the Governor?" his fist clenched, and he suddenly asked, "No, does Lord Monton know about this?"
Ah Heng was not surprised by his reaction, and nodded solemnly: "I went to the camp of the wolf riding camp for this matter, I reported this matter to Lord Mengton alone, but unfortunately, Lord Mengton didn't believe it at all." Subsequently, the murder of Major General Jurgen and Major General Tuoba occurred. Ah Heng's face was a little lonely, and he took out two waist cards, which were the relics of Tuoba and Jurgen, which had been roasted by the fire, "This is what I found in Lord Mengton's Chinese military camp tent." β
"You mean, Lord Montonβ" the bearded man said incredulously.
"No, I didn't say anything, because there is no basis, so I don't want to affect your judgment-?" Ah Heng shook his head, "But I did tell Lord Monton about this alone. Then the two generals were killed, and I don't know what had changed. You should know that there is no way I could have murdered Major General Jurgen and Major General Tuobaβ"
The bearded man clenched his fists, the main reason for last night's fiasco was the tragic killing of Major General Jurgen and Major General Tuoba, and Lord Monton failed to intervene in time. In the end, the entire wolf cavalry battalion was abnormally dispatched, made mistakes again and again, and lost the best opportunity to resist the Guards Brigade, and finally the wolf cavalry battalion was defeated.
"It must have been raised by Furong's beast girl, Lao Tzu hated to kill him right away!" said the bearded man, he didn't want to believe from the bottom of his heart that Monton was also involved. In the minds of the Northern Frontier Army, Monton is the hand of the Governor, and he is the most trusted person of the Governor. Moreover, Mengton and Furong are fundamentally different, Furong is an outsider, while Mengton has lived and died with everyone for more than ten years, and the love of comrades has long been integrated into the bloodline, this kind of life and death is even closer than relatives, how can such a person participate in the rebellion?
"Can't be wrong, it must be Furong's bastard, yesterday he had obviously organized hundreds of cavalry, as long as he can rush to the aid of Lord Monton, he may not be able to reverse the tide of the battle. However, this beast girl raised escaped from the battle. If it weren't for this, so many brothers would not have died. The old soldier with the forehead tattoo also said hatefully.
"It's useless to talk about that. The bearded man waved his hand, "Ah Heng, the most important thing now is to protect the Governor, if the Governor is also killed, our northern Xinjiang will be over." It's a pity that the way back was blocked by the orcs, Ah Heng, what is your best way, hurry up and say it, as long as you can save the Governor, we will definitely support you. β
"Bearded chief, don't you doubt what I said?" Ah Heng said with some surprise.
"Why do you want to doubt it, it's all from the northern frontier, not to mention that you almost didn't even want your life, what can you do with us?" The bearded man was about to give Ah Heng another punch, when he suddenly remembered his injured shoulder, and withdrew his fist with a sneer.
Ah Heng looked at the other party's embarrassed appearance, smiled and raised his fist, and touched the opponent's huge fist. Both of them will laugh heartily, everything is silent, from now on, everyone will be a grasshopper on a rope, a brother in a trench.
Returning to the original topic, Ah Heng pondered: "There is a situation that you may not know very well, the food and grass of the orcs have been burned by the secret guards. Soon, they will face a food and grass crisis. If this crisis cannot be resolved, the Orc Guards Brigade will have no choice but to retreat without food. The only thing to worry about now is the Knights Templar, who are holding their ground, most likely thinking of forming an alliance with the victor. If the Orc Guards Brigade were to get food and grass from them, it would be extremely disadvantageous to us. Otherwise, the Orc Guards Brigade will have to lift the blockade, and we will be able to return to Wolf City soon. β
The bearded man nodded: "Ah Heng, what you said is true, the Knights of the Templars are just a group of wall grass, and they are already swaying. This time we were defeated by the Orc Guards, and they most likely fell to the side of the winner. If the Knights Templar were involved, it would be difficult for us to travel west. However, I am more worried that if they form an alliance, it may have an even more serious consequence, and if they attack the northern frontier, they will repeat the Battle of Yinshan ten years ago. β
Ah Heng nodded, he was also one of the witnesses in the Battle of Yinshan ten years ago. That earth-shattering war took the lives of more than 600,000 soldiers from the Three Kingdoms, and the corpses were strewn all over the place, and blood flowed and pestles. It is said that the foot of Yin Mountain has been blooming with flowers for the past ten years, and it is unusually red, which is obviously from the nourishment of countless dead souls.
However, Ah Heng also knew that ten years later, sooner or later, there would be a war between the Human Empire, the Orc Kingdom, and the God-given Republic, and even if there was no desire for continental hegemony, the rulers' fear of eternal night would force them to make the choice of war. In the last war, Ah Heng was just a bystander, but this time, he became a participant in the war, and what he did directly led to the early arrival of the war.
At present, Northern Xinjiang is in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and the Governor is deeply trapped in the whirlpool of conspiracy. As a native of Northern Xinjiang, Ah Heng feels that he has an unshirkable responsibility, and only by advancing and retreating together with Northern Xinjiang can he live up to this heavy trust.
