Chapter 65: Secret Deliberation (3)
The words of the patriarch of the Crazy Leopard Clan surprised the other two clansmen, and their evaluation of Anathista in their hearts also changed greatly.
"Bang!Bang!!" Ignati Woods, the patriarch of the Giant Serpent Clan, clapped his hands and nodded at Anathista and said, "I didn't expect you Anathista to be straightforward, but now you can say such a big truth, which really makes me admire." ”
After complimenting Anacista, Ignati Woods turned to Alexandra, the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan, and said, "Alexandra, don't you think that this is the most likely opportunity for our orcs to attack Thor's fortress in hundreds of years? ”
"According to the agreement of the Orc Clan back then, after the invasion of Thor, the land reoccupied by the Orc Clan in the South Talon Prairie will become their eternal pasture. Isn't it worth the price we pay for the abundant and pleasant climate of the Southern Talon compared to the barren North Talon? I guess the reason why the Beast Emperor is so vigorous and resolute in exterminating the Feng Peng clan is to warn the other clans not to do anything unfavorable to the attack on the Thor Fortress at this critical moment when the orcs may change their luck. And the Kirkosi Ranch that received the abundant water and grass of the Fengpeng clan was just a little reward. ”
Speaking of this, the face of the Giant Serpent Clan Patriarch Ignati Woods showed a look of jealousy, and he remembered all this, especially the battle in which the Mammoth Legion slaughtered the people of the Wind Peng Clan, changing the usual style of orcs with strong strength, needless to say, it must be the credit of the prophet Evan. Back then, it was because the Wild Bear Clan had the planning of the prophet Evan that the weak defeated the strong and replaced the Wild Wolf Clan.
"There is an incomparably great temptation in front of you, and a butcher's knife raised high in the back, which is really the means of the prophet Evan. Alexandra also sighed and said, "Sad, sad." According to the strength of our three major clans, in the history of orcs, it is definitely a very powerful existence. It's not me who boasts about myself, but any of the three of us have the wisdom and strength to dominate the side. It's a pity, why do we want to live in the same era as Andreas?"
Three people, you look at me, I look at you, and let out a helpless sigh.
Indeed, if it was a hundred years ago, with the strength of the three major clans and the ability of the patriarch, it may not be impossible to dominate one side, and even lead the entire orc tribe, but unfortunately, their opponents are the beast emperor Andreas, who has the strength of the sword master, and the prophet Evan, who is full of prophetic wisdom.
Perhaps, belonging to the same era as the Beast Emperor and the Prophet is the greatest sorrow of their lives.
After a long time, Ignati Woods stood up, walked to the door, and pushed it open.
"Where are you going?" Alexandra asked casually when she saw that Ignati Woods was leaving.
"I'm going to go back and think about how many people our Giant Serpent Clan will have to sacrifice in this war. Ignati Woods, the patriarch of the Giant Serpent Clan, stopped, he didn't look back, but said very plainly: "It's too little, I'm afraid the Beast Emperor is not at ease." It's too much, and I don't want the giant snake to lose too much. ”
This sentence shocked the Black Eagle Clan Patriarch Alexandra and the Leopard Clan Patriarch Anacista's faces with surprise, and then turned to deep thought.
-- × -- × -- × -- × -- × -- Thor Fortress.
As the supreme military commander of the Thor's Fortress, the first and last line of defense against the northern threat of humanity, General Killst has been here for a full decade. Ever since he came here, he has been trembling every day, lest he do something bad enough.
Under his careful management, hundreds of scouts would roam dozens of roads outside the Thor Fortress every day, as far as more than a hundred kilometers into the North Tallon grassland, but they never found much. And if they go deeper, these scouts will encounter the patrol army of the beast ** unit, and they can only look at it from a distance for a few times and then turn their horses' heads and run for their lives.
After surviving the harsh winter of last year, General Kissernst suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure, especially recently, when the orc scouts actually probed into the place less than 50 kilometers away from the Thor's Fortress, which was only a day's journey to the Thor's Fortress. Human scouts, on the other hand, were no longer able to penetrate deep into the savannah of North Tallon, and often only after diving less than 30 kilometers on horseback would see a large number of orcs waiting for them from afar.
These wolf-ridden orc cavalry were no less fast than human horses, but their impact was not as powerful as that of human knights. Of course, in this kind of small harassment battle, the outnumbered orc wolf cavalry still gave the human scouts a lot of trouble. General Kissern carefully organized several ambushes, hoping to attract the beasts and go-to rangers to gather and annihilate. But no matter what he used as bait, the opponent was unmoved, just expelled the human scouts from afar, and did not take an extra step in the direction of Thor's Fortress.
The most direct consequence of the two stalemates is that mankind has lost their understanding of the North Tarren grassland, and General Kissernst has not received definite news about it for a long time, which is like a healthy man suddenly losing his eyes, which can make General Kissunst very, very uncomfortable.
"General Kissern!" a man about thirty years old walked in excitedly, he raised the information in his hand, and said excitedly, "We have the latest news about the Northern Tarren Prairie." ”
"What?" General Gainster, who was in front of the map, was obviously moved by the news, and he changed his usual steady personality, snatched the information from the man's hand, and hurriedly looked at it. The information is very short, about a hundred words, which should have been sent back desperately by the scouts on the front line.
After reading this information, General Kissnster's face appeared with a rare solemnity, and he said to the man who brought this information: "Hans, my adjutant. Is this information accurate?"
The man known as Hans said solemnly, "Absolutely, General Killnst." I have checked against other information, and I believe that everything on it is accurate. ”
General Kissern frowned and said, "It's really not good news that the orcs have gathered more than 400,000 troops 150 kilometers away from Thor's Fortress. Thor's Fortress, which has been quiet for almost 50 years, and the empire, which has been calm for nearly 50 years, are about to face the threat of orcs again. ”
"It's better to send a messenger immediately and ask for help from the imperial capital. ”
"It seems that this is the only way to go. ”
"Also, do you think you should immediately issue an order to collect military supplies and mercenary groups?"
"This ...... Is this necessary?"
"General Kissernst, I think it's absolutely necessary. You see, there are not many of the entire empire that are actually controlled by His Majesty. ”
"Presumptuous!" General Gainst's face changed, and he reprimanded his adjutant, saying: "How can such things be said casually? Remember that we are soldiers, and we must not get caught up in those messy things." The army is a pure army, and the soldier is the weapon of the empire, and this weapon must not have a mind of its own!"
"General Kissern," Adjutant Hans hastenedly explained, "I don't mean anything else. What I mean by this is that before sending reinforcements, the imperial capital must consider other things, such as the deterrence of the southern lords. In that case, reinforcements would come slowly, and it would not be possible to mobilize all the elite troops. To be sure, I recommend that you enlist a mercenary group to serve. As you know, mercenary regiments can't compete with the army on frontal battlefields, but they can gather intelligence, they can escort supplies, and they can even be incorporated into the army as a reserve ......"
"Moreover, the transportation of military supplies takes a lot of time, and a lot of military supplies need to be shipped from Southern Sea Breeze City to Sunrise City, and then transported here, there will be a lot of delays along the way, if it is not arranged in advance, I am worried about ......."
General Kissernst listened to the words of his adjutant Hans, and his heart moved slightly, but he still said: "Shouldn't you ask the imperial capital for instructions on this kind of thing first?"
"Of course, I will ask for instructions, but I accidentally leaked it by someone in a certain link, and this person can't find out. It's inevitable. As long as Thor's Fortress continues to be an orc's nightmare, no one will catch that little mistake, right?"
Obviously, Adjutant Hans's words still caused General Kissernst to think, in any case, the most important thing is to hold Thor's fortress, and in order to achieve this goal, General Kissn Stern does not care about minor violations of certain regulations of the Empire. So, with the tacit consent of General Kissernst, his adjutant Hans secretly sent capable men to rush to all major cities on the continent in the starry night, and quietly spread the news that the orcs were about to attack Thor's fortress throughout the continent.
At this time, Ryan was sitting in the carriage, bored with the first mission of the Ryan mercenary group.
The mission to escort Viscount Bruno has been going on for two days, along the way, Ryan, Franner and Viscount Bruno are in the same carriage to protect this slightly narcissistic nobleman, while Harrisi, Elendor and Xiaobai are in another carriage, mainly responsible for the safety of the three large wooden boxes on the carriage.
Viscount Bruno leaned on the carriage from the beginning, closing his eyes and not knowing whether he was asleep and still thinking about things, it didn't seem appropriate for Ryan and Franner to talk in front of their employers who closed their eyes and recuperated their minds, but Ryan lifted the curtains of the car window and looked at the scenery along the way boredly, while Flanner simply followed Viscount Bruno's example, leaned on the other side of the carriage, and closed his eyes.
Forward, Eat, Sleep, Forward...... In this way, the two-day journey was passed in boredom.
