"I didn't expect them to say yes so quickly. www.biquge.info"They are also looking for a way out, and we have the advantage in comparison, after all, our team is more familiar with the swamp, and they have been here for countless years, and the team has changed batch after batch but has never come out of the swamp of confession, so they must listen to us in this matter." Hearing Pryor's confident words, several other generals also nodded their heads.

"Did you say that old boy from Upton was really seriously ill?" said Benguela, still a little relieved, and asked again about the matter, "Could it be that he deceived us?"

"If it were you, would you still be deceived by this time?, didn't you smell it in the tent just now?" "What smell?" "The smell of blood, the smell of vomiting blood when you are seriously ill, I believe that Upton must have been terminally ill, and it will be only a few days. Pryor couldn't help frowning slightly, and there was a feeling of sadness for a rabbit and a fox.

The weak governor actually had a lot of ideas, but his luck was really bad, since the day he walked into the swamp, there had been no peace here, and the war between the empire and Omar was becoming more and more tense, and the royal family became less and less interested in his idea of pacifying the swamp.

However, for Pryor and other generals, who have been guarding in this swamp for so many years, they are the people who know the stakes best, and the reason why Calais can compete with Omar is because of the cheap labor of these orcs, if the orcs are really freed from Calais's control, then Calais will lose his most advantageous helper.

Of course, this is secondary, what is even more terrifying is that a strong enemy has risen in the soft underbelly of Calais, in the west of Calais, from south to north four large cities, because of the irrigation of four rivers, this has become the largest grain production area in the empire, and this is also the closest area to the swamp orcs, in the past, tens of millions of slaves worked in the fields, so that Calais had enough food, but once the orcs rise, these four big cities will be instantly turned into a combat field, after all, it was once the home of the orcs.

Pryor couldn't help but sigh as he rode his horse, and secretly asked himself in his heart, "Should I listen to Upton once?" But after thinking about it, if he returned to Calais with his troops like this, he would inevitably face the rebuke of the Temple, and how should he answer at that time? He couldn't help but slowly relent, only with the help of this war can he create a chance for himself to escape, as long as he returns to the north, he will return to his own territory, and even if the orcs really rise up to rebel, he still has the ability to protect himself.

He took a look at the several generals around him, and believed that they must have the same thoughts in their hearts, so this battle must be fought, and it must be carried out according to their own plans, first of all, they must lead the troops to pursue the Yellow Ape Clan's station, where to get food and grass, so that they can have the opportunity to go back to the north.

In two days it will be spring in the swamp, and now the animal skin cloak he wears on his body is already a little hot, he can't help but tug at the tightly tied collar to let the cool breeze penetrate in so that he can calm down, the spring of the swamp is not a joke, and there are fatal crises everywhere in this season.

Fred sat quietly, looking at Upton on the bed in a daze, the Governor he had followed for more than ten years, so quietly passed away, leaving himself in this lonely swamp, and his last words were to let him take him back, back to the hometown where Upton had left since childhood, where there might be his relatives.

Looking at the bloodless face, Fred, an iron-clad man, couldn't help but shed tears, at that moment he had lost his direction, and even lost the meaning of life, if there was no last word, maybe he would have gone with him, but this last word made him find the meaning of life, "After the body of the adult is buried, I will build a hut next to it, and from then on accompany the adult day and night." ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slowly stand up, wiped the tears on his face and walked out of the tent, around the big tent is Upton's personal guard regiment, there are more than a thousand guards, he wants to tell these people this cruel reality, unlike the garrison of the swamp, they all follow the adults to come here, and there is no guilt on them, so they can leave here at any time, as for where these guards go, it is up to them to decide.

Fred sat quietly in front of the big tent, there were some gold and silver items on the table, because Lord Upton had been frugal all his life, so there were only so many valuable things, looking at the more than a thousand guards standing neatly in front of him, his mood was extremely complicated, these guards were actually less than a hundred people he brought from Gangsas City, and the rest were drawn from various armies, although they have now broken away from the original army, and have followed the adults for some days, but they really can't talk about much affection.

Fred is a strict person in the army, and although Upton is very sympathetic to his subordinates, he will never deliberately win over relationships, so Fred has already thought about putting out all the valuable items before that, counting them as the severance expenses of this guard, and of course, a part of it will be allocated to his civilian officials.

Even if he was the only one left in the end, he would bring the remains of the adults back to his hometown, and after making up his mind, Fred couldn't help but whisper, " The Lord has passed away, I can't hide this matter from you, the matter will spread sooner or later, I might as well tell you directly, I believe you are also very clear about the situation in the swamp now, in fact, the position of the governor of the swamp has long been in name only, and the Lord has returned the military power to the generals of all parties before his death, many of you are transferred from the legion, if you want to go back, you can go back, if you don't want to fight anymore, you can go home, there is some money here, you take it and divide it, and we can work together. ”

Just when he said that the Governor had passed away, someone began to cry quietly, this cry slowly spread, and finally evolved into a cry, and when he finished all the words, but no one acted for a long time, occasionally one or two wanted to step forward to take some money and leave, but were stopped by the people around him, so he stood silently, in the constant crying, so that the atmosphere became more solemn, and finally someone spoke, "General, I am willing to accompany the general to escort the Governor's body home!" As soon as this person finished speaking, more than a thousand soldiers suddenly said in unison, "We are willing to escort the remains of the adults back home!"

Then more than a thousand people knelt down together, which was greatly unexpected by Fred, maybe some of them did not intend to be, but they also knelt on the ground under the infection of this atmosphere, he hurriedly stood up and walked around the table, and walked to these guards, some of his familiar faces, and more of them he couldn't name, he couldn't help but bow deeply to these people, "I thank you for your kindness, if your lordship sees this scene in the sky, I'm afraid you will also be moved to tears." ”

In the end, Fred only selected 200 people, including a few ice mages, although they were all low-level mages, but it was enough to protect the remains of adults along the way, so a large camp of governors was quietly dispersed, and Fred took these warriors to carry the coffin on the long road home.

The news quickly spread throughout the legions, and it also touched the hearts of these generals, no matter what happened before, but everyone died and everything was over, originally they didn't have too many grudges, but they stood in different angles for their own interests, and from the bottom of their hearts, they still admired the behavior of this governor in their hearts, and what Upton said to them at the end had a different meaning at this moment.

"What the hell are we going to do?" "What are we going to do?" It's all this time, are you still hesitating? Now that the arrow is on the string, if you don't shoot it, I'm afraid it's us who will be hurt. "That's it, a few of you are too mother-in-law, I'm afraid that the empire will reconsider our stay after the death of Upton, it's better to take advantage of the fact that there is no news from the empire, we quickly find a way out by ourselves, otherwise you will regret it when the time comes." "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for General Benguela to be right, and if we don't take the initiative in our own hands, sooner or later we will become guns in the hands of others. ”

"Okay, since everyone has made up their minds, then we will immediately raise our troops, and the army will advance twenty miles further, and then wait until it is dark to send our strange troops, success or failure is tonight, everyone should hurry back and prepare separately." After Pryor finished speaking, he called the herald, "Pass my order, and the army will advance on all fronts!"

In the middle of a mountain pass, Sheng Xuan looked at the map nervously, and from time to time news came back, reporting the location of all sides of the Calais army, and he clearly marked it on the map, and couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, "Where are the Calais going to send that pretending army to carry out their plan?"

At this moment, several generals in the south of Calais also gathered together to discuss, "This Upton is really not the right time to die, why did something happen at this time? Without his checks and balances, I am afraid that those northern legions will not sincerely crusade with us against the Golden Wolf Clan, we still have to make plans early." ”

"Do you think that if Upton doesn't die, they will really fight this battle with us? They are not fools, I am afraid they have the same thoughts as us, and since this last constraint is no longer there, then we still have to plan early. "Well, yes, the Golden Wolf Clan has been entrenched here for hundreds of years, how deep the foundation is, although they don't have many decent weapons in their hands, but we are not opponents even if they fight the number of people, the reason why everyone was safe and sound before was actually the tacit understanding reached over the past few hundred years, but as soon as Upton came, he drove people into the mountains, this feud has been settled, but we have to bear the consequences,、、、"

"Okay, don't complain, let's think about what's in front of you. "What else is there to think about in front of you? I think we should just make a false shot and leave with a pretended defeat, and return to our previous station, after all, we have been running it for many years, and even if the orcs really make any moves, they won't dare to do anything to us. "Food, what we lack now is food, do you want my soldiers to gnaw stones?"

"I think Upton's last order is a way out. "You mean we're withdrawing, but where are we withdrawing?" In the past few days, I have faintly felt a trace of ominous signs, if we were able to shock the orcs before, it was because they were too scattered, and lost faith, but now after the totem was born, the orcs everywhere are ready to move, although the yellow ape clan sent a heavy army to take the opportunity to unify the orcs, but their little power is simply a mantis arm as a car, the orcs are like a huge and terrifying monster, he used to be in a deep sleep, once he woke up and angry, I am afraid it will be an earth-shattering upheaval, we don't want to die so we can only withdraw to the territory of the empire, maybe it will not be peaceful there。 ”

The recent update may be a bit slow, one is because there is something at home, and the other is because I want to present a wonderful battle to everyone, this is just the beginning, the excitement is still to come, so I want to think carefully about it as much as possible to be reasonable, and now I have dug a lot of pits, maybe you haven't paid attention, if every pit tells you that it is a pit then what's the point? So I hope you will support a lot, and I also hope that I can write the wonderful plot I think in my heart, and I hope you will forgive me for the lack of pen power!!
