After this battle, Sheng Xuan vaguely felt that he was about to jump out of the other party's encirclement, and the arrangement of the Calais should also be disrupted, so he couldn't help but take out the map and study it carefully, Reg asked on the side, "What should we do next?"

Sheng Xuan closed the map and glanced at the boundless swamp, and said decisively, "No, let's turn northwest from here and march towards the Yijian swamp." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

And at this moment, Upton, who was sitting in the tent, was also carefully studying the map, and there was a melancholy look on Fred's face standing beside him, and it took a long time for Upton to lie on his back in the chair with a long sigh, "Do you think they are still hiding in the poisonous fog swamp?" "My lord, I don't think this is very likely, even if they have the ability to prepare an antidote against the poisonous fog, but what do they eat for so many days? Even if the orcs don't eat or drink, they will gradually weaken, and what awaits them can only be death." ”

"Then there is only one possibility, recently there has been news that the small group of troops under their command is mysterious, they must have done it, I used to guess that there may be other orc resistance forces to sneak attack the so-called, but now from the direction of these intelligence, we have all been deceived by him, he did not choose the waterway at all, but traveled by land. ”

"What kind of opponent is this? There's no pattern to what kind of thing to do? I really want to see for myself what kind of character he is. Upton wiped his face with his hand tiredly, which couldn't help but make Fred next to him feel very distressed.

"My lord, you better go and take a rest, it's not a way to stay up like this. Upton waved his hand, "Now is not the time to rest, I am not in the mood to rest if I don't find any trace of this enemy for a moment." ”

"My lord, what should we do now?" Fred asked tentatively, but saw Upton sit up sharply after thinking for a moment, and then stared at the map with his eyes fixed, "Inform all the troops, the east and west are lined up, the distance is not more than two miles, and I will push south like a net, I have a hunch that if this net goes down, the cunning fish will surface." ”

"Okay, this time I personally lead the team, and I will definitely not let them slip away again. Looking at Fred, who was about to go out, Upton couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, "It's going to be hard for you again, Fred, it's great to have you by my side to help me." ”

"Your kindness, my lord, it is the honor of my life to be able to follow him. With that, Fred strode out of the tent, turned on his horse and ran into the distance.

Sheng Xuan and the others, who were marching all the way to the north, suddenly felt a little strange, and the scouts sent out to reconnoiter found that the Calais army was rapidly assembling northward, which couldn't help but surprise him, the sudden transfer of the Calais army disrupted his plan, and now he was sandwiched between the two legions, and he would be surrounded if he was not careful.

"Everyone kept their composure, kept their direction the same, and quickened up to try to pass through them. "At this moment, Sheng Xuan's team and the two Calais armies are only a few miles apart, and whoever deviates the slightest bit will be immediately discovered.

Wood called a scout and whispered, "Do you see which unit they are?" "I didn't see it, but judging by the flag and equipment, it was different from what we had encountered before. After hearing this, he couldn't help but nodded, "Okay, you go and continue to monitor them, and come back and report as soon as you find that they have changed direction." ”

Everyone is still slowly increasing their speed, looking calm but everyone's heart is pounding, these are two legions, adding up to more than 40,000 people, once they really collide, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance to break through, and the final result is only one, that is, all of them are killed.

Reg gently patted Wood's shoulder, "Calm down." I wanted to comfort him, but I found that I really couldn't say anything, but just the light touch, but I felt that the wood was trembling all over, and I was so nervous that I couldn't speak.

The team continued to move forward for less than an hour, and the scouts who were suddenly sent out hurriedly returned, "The regimental commander Calais's army has changed direction, I'm afraid we will meet them in a few miles, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but buzz, and there was a moment of trance, why did the other party suddenly change direction? Did he find himself or did he have another reason, if there was another reason, it would be easy to do, but if he found himself, it would be even more troublesome.

But after thinking about it, sooner or later it was necessary to meet the Calais army, and it was not necessarily better to meet it early than late, so I couldn't help but be ruthless, "Keep the direction the same, you guys come with me, and we'll go over and say hello." ”

As he spoke, he rushed out with a pat on his horse, and the distance of several miles was instantaneous, and at this moment a whole Calais regiment appeared in front of him, and the cavalry walked with the horse's hooves pressed on the ground, followed by a black oppressive group of infantry, the bright armor and bloody swords and spears glittering in the sun, which made people feel even more dizzy.

After controlling the speed of the horse, Sheng Xuan led people to the side, and someone shouted at them in the distance, "Stop, are you from that legion?" "We are from the 38th Legion, I am the captain of the 1st Battalion of the 38th Banner Regiment O'Brien, may I ask which army you are?"

When the other party heard this, he first scolded in a low voice, "Hmph, it's a stinky fart, what kind of captain and battalion commander." Then he said to the guard beside him, "Tell him that Lao Tzu is the commander of the First Banner Regiment of the Seventeenth Legion, and let him come to see me." ”

Hearing the other party's shout, Sheng Xuan hurriedly led people over, bowed respectfully, and before he could speak, he heard the other party say contemptuously, "Your 38th Army is so big-faced, why did you send such a small battalion commander as you to contact?"

Sheng Xuan couldn't help but smile and said calmly, "Our third battalion was sent on a secret mission, so I had to communicate with the general." ”

Hearing this, the other party nodded, "What kind of mission?" "This, the general begs forgiveness for being rude, because it is a secret mission ordered by General Chinigan, so it is inconvenient to disclose. ”

"And!" said in a contemptuous voice, "do you know that the whole army is now assembled in the north?" "Well, since that's the case, then you, the little battalion commander, will be temporarily assigned to my account. ”

Hearing this, Sheng Xuan quickly calculated in his heart, if he refused, he might not be able to do it, but if the team was incorporated into this legion, he was afraid that there would be no chance to break away, what should he do? If he refused, he was afraid that the other party would immediately become suspicious, and it seemed that he had to compromise and agree.

"Then thank you for the kindness of the general, I'll go back and bring the team over. Saying that, Sheng Xuan raised his hand on the horse to salute, and then took a few people and was about to walk back, but at this moment he suddenly heard a person shouting, "Wait!"

Although this sound was not loud, it made Sheng Xuan's heart tremble, could it be that the other party saw something flawed? But he saw a horse rushing out of Calais's team, running straight towards his men, and only then did he hold the reins until he got closer, and then pointed at the longbow behind the man, "Your longbow is very special, I'm afraid it comes from the master's hand, I just like bows and arrows, I wonder if this brother can borrow me to take a look?"

Hearing the other party's words, the subordinate suddenly became a little nervous, whether to give it or not? couldn't help but peek at Sheng Xuan, but saw him nod slightly, so he hurriedly untied the longbow behind his back and handed it over, the other party took it and played with it carefully in his hand for a long time, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration, "Sure enough, it's a good bow, although it's not a master's work, but at least it's a high-grade strong bow, can you borrow me a feather arrow for a test shot?"

Sheng Xuan's subordinates took out a feather arrow from the quiver and handed it over, the man put on the bowstring and pulled a full moon, but it was not launched for a long time, his eyes looked at the bowstring left and right, and then he withdrew the feather arrow and took the bow and arrow into his arms, "This bow and arrow are rare good things, I have a reluctant request, can this brother transfer this bow to me, I can give you a good price, if you don't want to ask for money then I can also exchange things with you." ”

Hearing that the other party wanted to buy a bow, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but glance up and down, and said casually, "It's just a bow, just give it to this brother, I'm afraid I'll have to take care of it after a while." ”

"Oh, haha, that's disrespectful. As he spoke, he hung the longbow on the saddle bridge, reached into his bosom and took out a money bag and threw it over, "This longbow must be this brother's beloved, how can I use it for nothing? ”

After Sheng Xuan left, General Calais couldn't help but ask, "Kuqi, what's wrong with you today?" I know that the bows in your collection are all made by famous craftsmen, how can you look at such a rough bow?"

The man smiled slightly, and came to the general with the bow, "General, look, this is not an ordinary bow, but a longbow handmade by orcs, unlike our Calais longbow, this is completely made of vine wood and animal glue, although it looks ugly, but the range is accurate above our Calais steel bow, and the weight is light and fast, but it is a rare good bow." ”

"You kid, you get carried away when you see the bow, don't you have a collection of several longbows made by orc craftsmen?, isn't it enough?" The general didn't hear anything special, he just thought that his subordinates just liked it, but he heard the man laugh, "General, although you are a profound cultivator, you are not familiar with bows and arrows, so your subordinates will tell you about the mystery of this bow." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull the longbow away, and then slowly moved it in front of the general, but the general didn't see anything after looking at it for a long time, "General, look here," he said as he released the index finger of his left hand and saw a clear mark on the bow handle, "What's going on?" General, you may not know, although there is not much difference between Calais and Orcs in stature, the fingers of Calais are thick, and the fingers of Orcs are thick, which means that the fingers are a little longer than us Calais, so we Calais use five fingers to open the bow, otherwise it is difficult to control the longbow, while Orcs can use four, and the index finger is extended to facilitate their control of the arrows and aiming, and here,"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but let go of the bowstring, only to see a worn-out mark in the center of the bowstring, but the mark was only a small one, "Orcs are naturally strong, they can pinch the bowstring with two fingers, but we Calais need three, so the mark on the bowstring is much smaller." ”

"And what does that mean?" "This means that the man is not a Calais, but an orc. After hearing this, the general couldn't help laughing, "What does this mean? Isn't there also orc warriors in our legion?" "But don't forget, general, our orc warriors don't wear standard armor. ”

Hearing this, the general's face finally sank, and a cold murderous aura suddenly erupted in his eyes, "Do you want to tell me that those boys just now are the group of orcs we have been searching for?"
