This crisp sound is actually not very huge, but the reaction caused by it exceeded everyone's expectations, only to see that several Golden Wolf Clan warriors have rushed up like lightning, and the steel claws are even more fierce to the face of the wood is a heavy punch, with a muffled sound, the wood is strong and punched, the body is thrown out, and it slides far away on the ice before stopping. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, it wasn't that he couldn't dodge the other party's blow, but he was still in the dizziness of the scene just now, looking at the tall swollen face, the warriors on the side of the alfalfa suddenly rushed up, but before he got closer, a more strange scene suddenly appeared, and there was another crisp snap, and the hand of the star pupil had already slapped the face of the steel claw heavily, and then covered the red face in everyone's surprised eyes and ran out of the group.
Things finally didn't get worse, but no matter how strong a girl is, in this barren swamp, it is still uneasy to be in this barren swamp, Reg walked over quickly and looked at the wood and then at the steel claw, and then said to the copperhead, "Go and see Miss Star Pupil, don't be in any danger." ”
Then he shouted to the people on both sides, "We're almost rested, everyone get ready, and we'll set off when they come back." This was originally a trivial matter, but it made him see a lot of problems, whether it was the warrior on the side of the wood alfalfa, or the young man of the golden wolf clan, although they were both orcs, their hearts could not really be united, it seemed that it would take time.
Reg looked at Sheng Xuan, who was still refining potions, and couldn't help but be more worried, although it was just a small conflict caused by a misunderstanding, no one can guarantee what kind of situation will occur on the road in the future, once these orcs are divided themselves, then even without the Calais, their goal will never be achieved.
The team was once again in the midst of a boring march, which should have been the coldest time of the year, the ice on the water had frozen more than a meter thick, and the cold wind raged on the unobstructed swamp, blowing mercilessly against the group, bringing more pain and exhaustion to them, but these were nothing, and perhaps a greater crisis awaited them ahead.
Upton looked at the legion generals in front of him, and then took a deep breath, "I think you see everything in front of you, you don't need to say anything more, we have missed an opportunity, and now the only way to remedy it is to draw the masters of each legion and form a special army, in this swamp they can act at will, remember that they are free to act, I only have one request, and that is to find them and contain them." ”
Hearing this, Fred couldn't help but be shocked, what does this sentence mean? Arbitrary action means that whatever they do in this swamp is allowed, there have been some armies in the past who maliciously ransacked the orc's station, looted their small property, and cut off a large number of poor orcs, these barbaric and cruel acts once caused the orcs to resist, but finally let the Calais Empire suppress it with heavy troops, after this incident, Calais was even more brutal to the orcs, trying to completely suppress the orcs with an iron hand.
But for Upton, he has always been inclined to a gentle policy, but now he has made such a decision, it seems that he has really reached the limit of bearing, so he has to make this decision, and at this moment, the generals of several legions glanced at each other quickly, exchanged doubts in their hearts with their eyes, and finally someone couldn't help but ask, "My lord, I want to ask, who will command this special army?"
Obviously, military power is the most sensitive thing at any time, and the transfer of masters in their respective armies is equivalent to weakening their own wings, which no general wants to see, and Upton, as the highest power in this swamp, I am afraid that there are many ways to make most of these masters take refuge.
Upton looked at the general who asked the question, and couldn't help frowning slightly, he knew better than anyone else what these people were worried about, but he couldn't say it clearly, and after a pause, he spoke, " This army is not strictly speaking to follow anyone's orders, they belong to the army of the Empire, and I don't mean to force them together, the warriors you choose can still act under the banner of your legion, and I will not shoot anyone to interfere with them, but they must remember their responsibility, they must find the enemy, and successfully contain the other party. ”
"I don't understand this, since we have seen traces here, why should we just chase them down?" "General Griman, you have to know that we are an army of hundreds of thousands, if we just chase this little bit of clues, how huge the consumption will be? Besides, we are on the territory of the orcs, there are countless eyes staring at us, and we are afraid that our every move will be seen, and now that the rebellion in the south is intensifying, we can't watch the south get worse, so the army must rush to the south as quickly as possible to quell the rebellion, we will wave our army north, hoping that by that time these masters have found their target. ”
The generals of several legions glanced at each other, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in their hearts, Griman was the last of these people to arrive, and it was the first time he saw Upton himself, and he didn't understand the temper of this lord, today's Upton attitude was very gentle, but many people knew how many heads were raised on the flagpole of the Governor's Palace.
Griman obviously wanted to say something, but Upton refused to give him this chance, "Okay, what I said just now is an explanation and an order, everyone go and carry it out, we have been delayed here for too long, we must speed up, I hope that the generals can cooperate sincerely, and the comfort of the Empire is in our hands." ”
After saying this, he didn't care about the generals, but took Fred straight to his big tent, as soon as he entered the tent, his face suddenly sank, and at the same time his expression showed extremely haggard, Fred hurriedly asked the guards to go down, and then personally made him a cup of hot tea.
"Your Excellency still has a little time to leave, so why don't you rest for a while? Upton waved his hand, "I made a mistake, maybe my character is really not suitable for leading troops, if I am more decisive, maybe it will not be today's result, if I don't die waiting for the assembly of those two corps, I'm afraid we have taken back that damn totem by now, do you say my character is too weak?"
In fact, he didn't need Fred to give him an answer to these words, but better seemed to be saying it to himself, Fred stood aside silently, and said softly, "My lord, I don't blame you for this matter, I think these two legions must be because of greed, so they didn't send back the news when they encountered the enemy, if they were willing to report this matter, there would be no current result, so don't blame yourself too much, in my heart, my lord's loyalty to the empire is incomparable to anyone, I 、、、、"
Fred wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Upton, "Now loyalty is not enough, I think Your Majesty has lost patience with me, there is still news in the previous report, but this time I am afraid that there will be no news, we are now facing what can be said to be the most difficult situation in the swamp in hundreds of years, this is also a problem that loyalty cannot solve, now I only hope that these generals can really cooperate once, and not make any more tricks." ”
Hearing this, Fred's heart suddenly moved, it seems that Upton's dispatch of masters is not simply to track the whereabouts of the enemy, but to cut power in disguise, you must know that in any army, most of the masters must be the henchmen of the general, so that the transfer is equivalent to weakening their strength, and also allowing him, the governor, to better manage, although it is a weakening of the combat effectiveness of the entire army, but this weakening is much lighter than not listening to the dispatch.
After drinking a few sips of tea, Upton finally leaned back on the chair with his hands on his head and took a nap, just when Fred just wanted to put a cloak on him and let him rest for a while, suddenly the horn sounded, and immediately Upton jumped up like an electric shock, looked around as usual, and then listened to the sound of the horn, he couldn't help but be relieved, and his tense nerves were slightly relaxed. I didn't expect these generals to have already selected their men so quickly, and go with me to see what they have picked. ”
As he spoke, Upton gathered the cloak draped on his body, and casually picked up a roster from the table, where all the masters in several legions were recorded, and even the family backgrounds of some people were clearly recorded, which he made the military department spend a lot of effort to sort out, with this book in hand, he was not afraid of what tricks those generals could come up with.
Fred followed Upton out of the tent, and the moment he stepped out of the tent door, he suddenly found that the adult's footsteps were so slow, like an old man in a sixtieth armor, which could not help but make his heart sour, why would a man who was so loyal to the empire never gain the true trust of the king?
