Calais, the general of the three legions, walked on that secret path, and it could be seen from their faces that they were all very dissatisfied with Upton's arrangement, and one of the generals could not help but say" Upton, that idiot, actually mobilized our three corps to come over, what to say about surround the Blood Condensation Swamp, did he think this big swamp was a plate on his table, and now let us rush to the aid of Storm City, I think only our third corps is enough, now the Empire is at war with Omar, at such a tense time, so many troops have been mobilized to garrison Storm City, then who will complete the task of capturing slaves ordered by His Majesty the King? I really don't know what he thinks. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"General Pryor, don't say that, I think the arrangement made by the Governor of Upton is still very reasonable, you must know that Storm City has hoarded a lot of our grain and grass, and it seems that there is a very important thing for the orc clan to be sealed there, so we should be more considerate of Governor Upton at this critical moment, once Storm City is lost, we γγγγγ"
"Hmph!" Before he could finish speaking, one of the people next to him snorted coldly, "Shackt, did that kid from Upton give you any favor? Let you defend him like this? Our fifteenth legion is the honor of Calais, and we are cavalry, but we were sent here to garrison, why don't we transfer the seventeenth corps over? They are all sailors, and they are more suitable to fight in this swamp." β
"Benguela, what do you mean by that? Everyone is General Calais, and they are all working for the Empire, and I think that I Saket has always acted above board, and I need to do anything good to Upton for me?"
"Okay, don't talk about it either, I think this Storm City has fallen. Pryor, who was the first to speak, suddenly said such a sentence, which surprised the other two, "What the hell is going on?" "Do you know any news?"
"You two fools, didn't you feel a mysterious energy fluctuation before? Don't you know what is sealed where? Then let me tell you, where is the totem statue of the beast god, that kind of fluctuation can only be released by the gods, I used to be lucky enough to enter the Temple of Honor for enlightenment because of my outstanding military achievements, so I am very concerned about this fluctuationγγγγγ"
"Well, I understand, you have been making trouble for a long time to show off that you have entered the Temple of Honor, although it is a supreme glory, but I entered there a few years before you, and I was also crowned by the kingγγγγγ" Before Sarkt could finish speaking, he heard a cold snort.
"It's good that you two don't talk about this, but when I say this, I'll tell you that our fifteenth legion has fought fewer tough battles than you? Didn't we charge at the forefront that time? Didn't we fight to the last moment that time? Who led the cavalry to save you from the encirclement of the Omar people? And who rushed all the way in front to allow you to successfully capture the enemy's pass? Just because my legion suffered heavy casualties, when you were rewarded, I was relegated to this frozen swamp, and you still have the face to say this?"
"Hey, I said Benguela, it's not right for you to say that, since you mentioned the old things, then I want to tell you a good story, what was the task assigned by the king at the beginning? It was to let your cavalry serve as a flank to cover the retreat of our army, but I didn't expect you to flank the main attack, disrupting all our retreat plans, which made us fall into encirclement, if it weren't for the two of us desperately pulling you, I'm afraid your cavalry regiment would have been wiped out a long time ago, and you still dare to mention it?"
And Pryor also suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, "Yes, yes, yes, since you mentioned it, then I will also calculate with you, when we attacked the enemy's pass, our third legion had already beaten the opponent to the point of being unable to defend, but you suddenly rushed up and intervened, don't forget that you are a cavalry, can your horse fly to the city? β
"Okay, I didn't expect to see you for so many years, you two have put on a pair of pants, and now you are joining forces to bully me, telling you that Lao Tzu is not afraid, if you have the ability, we will start a team competition now, even if you two legions are added together, Lao Tzu can still beat you to the ground." β
"Okay, if you have this heart, I will accompany you to the end, without their Eighth Legion interfering, our Third Legion will be enough to stop your short-legged cavalry. β
"You! you are insulting our entire 15th Army Corps, I won't be called Benguela if I don't separate myself from you today!"
From this simple conversation, which almost turned into a melee of several legions, it can be seen that although these three generals fought bravely, they were very difficult to control, otherwise they would not have been arranged to guard in this swamp.
Hearing this announcement, the three of them calmed down, "Say!" Benguela still shouted angrily, the horse had already approached, only to see the scout turn over and dismount, and quickly ran to the front and said, "General Qiyu, ah, a few generals, I found a road in front of me, several miles long, and now the vanguard is rushing to repair it, but γγγγ" As he spoke, he couldn't help but peek at Pryor.
"If you have a fart, let it go, I don't have time to chirp with you here. Benguela scolded angrily, and the scout hurriedly said, "However, a large number of corpses of the soldiers of the Third Legion were found in that section of the icy water, and some should be the banners of the original garrison of Storm City, I am afraid that they were attacked by the orcs fiercely, and not a single survivor was found, and it seems that all of them were killed." β
Hearing this, Benguela was not surprised at all, but looked at Pryor with a little mockery, and the meaning revealed in his eyes was already very obvious, this is your Third Legion?
Pryor frowned and looked at the scout, he didn't get angry, but asked the scout, "Did you find the orc team?" "Didn't find a single orc!" This couldn't help but make Pryor look at the other two generals with an ugly face, "This is what I'm most worried about, it seems that the orcs have really captured Storm City, how can they be so fast?" There are 50,000 troops stationed in the Storm City, and there are more than ten master generals in the town, so it seems that the orcs are at least 500,000, and I have sent about 5,000 soldiers, plus the Storm City outposts that have been incorporated along the road, the strength is no less than 7,000 people, and the whole army has been wiped out here, I am afraid that there are no less than tens of thousands of orcs in ambush here, where did so many orc troops run out? They actually gathered under the noses of our three legions and took Storm City in one fell swoop, if this matter spreads, I'm afraid that all three of us will be severely punished by the Temple, and it will not be possible to γγγγ"
Benguera's originally mocking face finally showed a hint of shock, and hurriedly asked the scout, "How is the road being repaired now?" "We have too few men, and it will take about two days to complete it at this rate." As soon as the scout finished speaking, Benguela whipped him fiercely, "Bastard, you go back to me at once, and tell them that tomorrow before dark, Lao Tzu will pass through here, and he will pass with all the teams, and if you can't build a passageway, then you will all jump into the swamp for me to fill the hole." β
"But the generalγγγ" The scout was whipped on the shoulder, but he grinned and wanted to argue, but Benguela glared at him angrily, and swallowed the second half of his words, "It's the general, if we can't fix it, we will jump into the swamp to pave the way." β
After hearing this, Saket, who had not spoken, said to the adjutant general beside him, "Boman, you take two thousand men, drop all the equipment and armor, and move forward at full speed, and you must get to where before dark, and help the fifteenth army to build that section of the road together." When the adjutant general next to him heard the order, he hurriedly agreed, so he turned around and went to make arrangements, Benguela thought for a while and said to the adjutant general beside him, "You bring all the light cavalry over to help together."
Thackt turned to the two of them and said, "Did you notice anything wrong?" "Wrong?" and "What do you mean?"
"I've been to Storm City no less than four times, and every time I take this road, and every time there will be large and small demonic beasts on both sides, but I didn't dare to approach because of the suppression of the Bakas array in the middle of the road, but today our three legions walked here and didn't find a single demonic beast, don't you think it's a little strange?"
"What's the matter? We have tens of thousands of horses walking together, and even if there are monsters, they will be scared away a long time ago, what's so strange?" Benguela said with a big grin, but saw Pryor smile contemptuously, "Are you a monster or a native dog from your hometown? They are not the ones who will scare away when you have too many people." β
"Pryor, what do you mean?" "Okay, okay, when are you two still arguing here?" I'm worried about that legend, people say that the beast god totem descended into the world and the origin affinity of the orcs awakened, could it really be the case, let those orcs contract all the monsters?"
"What is the contract you should have? That's not to buy a bird in the market, you say the contract is a contract? Besides, there are more than 10 million monsters in this swamp?" Benguela wanted to refute Saket, but he looked to the side for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Damn, it's really an evil sect today, you don't say that I really haven't paid attention, there is really no monster here, how can you do it?"
While talking, the three of them led the army to move forward quickly, and finally at noon the next day, they came to the place where the wood had blocked, at this time the road had been repaired, but the corpses of the Calais warriors did not have time to deal with them, looking at the bodies of the Calais warriors soaked in the ice water on both sides of the road, the bodies of the Calais warriors were densely packed with them, and the hearts of the three of them felt a little nervous for the first time, and Pryor couldn't help but ask the warriors who were building the road next to him, "Have you found the corpses of the orcs?" The answer was no, not to mention that the body had not found even a weapon other than the arrowhead.
Pryor's face couldn't help but become more and more gloomy, and he looked at Benguela and Saket, whose faces were no better than him at the moment, and suddenly the three of them spoke almost at the same time, "What kind of army is this?" Pryor added, "Could it be that Omar's regular army has infiltrated the swamp?"
