Chapter Seventy-Nine: Resurrection
Liang Ke held his breath, using York's tall body to completely block the left side of his body, the tactical knife in his right hand never left York's neck, and the crows on his head also seemed to feel an almost condensed murderous aura, and the fluttering monster flew into the sky with a scream, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoThe moment he stepped out of the door, the last thing he wanted to see happened.
"Stop them, let the Assassins go, I'll chop off your heads!"
Liang Ke didn't need to ask and knew that this voice that was neither male nor female must be King Wolff, he did not hesitate to let the demon dragon Achilles summon his teeth, Sanduo jumped out of a cloud of red light with the unique roar of the Netherworld, and before the four huge claws landed, the two big heads opened their bows left and right, burning the two arrow towers into ashes, and the sparse arrows on the arrow towers lost their direction and sprayed around like fireworks, and a few unlucky eggs became Liang Ke's substitute ghosts and were shot by stray arrows. Even the brave orcs were so frightened by the giant beast that fell from the sky that they stayed there until Liang Ke pressed Prince York on Sanduo's back and galloped out of the barracks, and they urged the sitting wolf to chase Liang Ke at the urging of the belated King Wolfe.
Liang Ke, who rushed out of the barracks, was like a fish swimming into the sea, Sanduo spread his four hooves and galloped on the empty wasteland, and his speed advantage was great, and he had already thrown the orc away with two arrows in a few breaths, and the arrows from the orc's bow could no longer threaten the safety of him and York, and gradually, the orc wolf rider had become a black spot with a face that could not be seen clearly. Liang Ke was secretly rejoicing that he had escaped from the heavily guarded orc camp and ascended to heaven, but suddenly saw a shadow on the dry grass next to Sanduo's neck, Liang Ke subconsciously leaned down, tightened his neck, and a sharp arrow grazed his ear and pierced into the soil in front of Sanduo. He held the york in front of the saddle and turned his head to look, and it turned out to be three giant eagles, carrying several skinny orc archers chasing after him. Liang Ke lifted his left leg and pressed York's neck with the crook of his knee to make him unable to move, then leaned over and took off the giant bow, which reflexively turned into an arrow. The unprepared giant eagle in the sky, along with the knight on its back, was shot through by the huge force, fluttered twice, and then fell to the ground heavily, and it seemed that he was not alive. The remaining two giant eagle knights saw that Lao Liang's archery skills were so fierce that they didn't dare to approach at all, and after pulling up their mounts, they could only fall far away, watching the lurker gallop towards the gate of Cape Rambet with his own commander.
"Monsieur Aragorn, I have escorted you out of the barracks, can you keep your promise like a gentleman and lay me down. York cut his hands back, padded on Sanduo's undulating shoulder armor, and tried to raise his head to remind Liang Ke.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince, but I really didn't promise to let you go back after leaving the barracks. Liang Ke looked back at the pursuers who were getting farther and farther behind him, hung the giant bow back, and grabbed the belt of the Prince of York with his left hand.
"You ......"
"What am I, I, don't be so naΓ―ve, okay, if you catch a prince of the Gallant Empire, you will easily let him go back?"
"Of course..... of course not! You're not a citizen of the Gallant Empire?" York's cleverness was astonishing, and he found some mystery in Liang Ke's statement.
"Don't play tricks with me, you better have some strength to deal with the cruel interrogation methods of the military department!"
"It's all thanks to you! However, I wish you were the one who interrogated me, at least out of gratitude to me for helping you save your life, so that you wouldn't use Xing against me!"
"I can't help this, you better ask for more blessings!"
The moment Sanduo stepped across the glacier that connected to the Lake of Tears, the north gate of Cape Rambet suddenly opened, and Piedro and other guards fought out of the city gate with huge blades in their hands to meet their lords. The stone throwers and crossbows on the city also began to throw boulders and crossbow arrows at the pursuers behind Liang Ke, and the orc cavalry continued to fall off their mounts, and more people with their mounts only cared about dodging the attack of stone bullets, and the speed of the pursuit was even more difficult to guarantee, and in a blink of an eye, Liang Ke rushed into the city gate under the protection of the troll guards, and the wolf cavalry who rushed to the city was shot by the soldiers defending the city.
Tucker, Xinjiaer, Simon and Deborah and others in the city gate are anxiously waiting, Liang Ke did not return overnight, everyone knew that something must have happened, they kept watch at the head of the city all night, until this morning they found that the horns in the orc camp were repeated, and the orc soldiers were frequently transferred, and then Liang Ke rode out of the camp alone, and everyone's hanging hearts were relaxed. Liang Ke's cronies stepped forward to greet Liang Ke, and Deborah cried and looked left and right around Liang Ke, for fear that the owner was missing parts.
Everyone ragged around Liang Ke and asked questions, not paying attention to the orc prince York that Liang Ke was holding in his hand, and after a while, the staff officer Quincy squeezed in from the crack where he caught the opportunity.
"Colonel Aragorn, it's a miracle that you were able to break out surrounded by an army of orcs, it's amazing. Commander Kan Delun was very happy to hear the news of your safe return, and ordered me to welcome you to the headquarters, and the commander in chief should personally listen to your visit to the camp. β
"Okay! Staff Officer Quincy. I'll go with you, and you send someone to watch over him, don't let him run away, and don't hurt him. Liang Ke pushed the Prince of York in front of Quincy, and York's tall body was so inertial that it almost knocked the unsuspecting Quincy to the ground. The clever Quincy froze, and when he looked at the orc, he could feel the majesty of being a superior in York.
"What is this?"
"This is the captive I caught. Liang Ke replied casually that he didn't want to expose York's identity in front of everyone.
Liang Ke calmed everyone and hurried towards the headquarters with Quincy. In the empty hall, Commander Kandelun had just shaved his beard, took the white napkin from the waiter's hand and tucked it into the tight collar of his shirt, ready to enjoy a hearty breakfast.
Quincy walked into the hall with Liang Ke and came to the dining table, Liang Ke tidied up his military uniform, leaned over and reported: "Your Excellency Commander Kandelun, Aragorn will return to you." Although Liang Ke was dissatisfied with Kan Delun Billen's sending him to carry out this death mission, the other party was the commander of the army after all, so he still maintained the necessary respect for Kan Delun.
Kan Delun saw that Liang Ke's face was displeased, smiled slightly, and ordered the waiter to put another pair of tableware on the opposite side and invite Liang Ke to have breakfast with him. The atmosphere of breakfast was a little oppressive, and both of them were silent, seeing that the food in the cups and plates had bottomed out, and General Kan Delun was the first to break the silence.
"What? Are you still unhappy that I sent you on this dangerous mission?" Kan Delun gently cut off a small piece of bacon, dipped some black pepper in his mouth, and asked Liang Ke as he chewed slowly.
Liang Ke's left hand froze slightly, and then without a trace, he picked up a piece of sausage and put it on his plate.
"Don't dare, military orders must be carried out, and Gao is unhappy to be executed. β
"Oh? If you're unhappy, you're angry! If you're unhappy, you think I'm angry with my son, and I'm making a personal vendetta? Am I right?"
Liang Ke didn't refute or answer, just lowered his head and vented at the food. Do you need to talk about it? Fools can see that you have declared a personal vendetta, and now that I have come back alive, do you pretend that I will have breakfast with you as a sign of favor?
General Kan Delun saw Liang Ke silently expressing confrontation, and his heart sank slightly. He put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped the oil stains off his hands with a snow-white napkin, got up and walked to Liang Ke's side.
"Originally, I didn't have to explain it to you, but I didn't allow my officers and soldiers to carry out their tasks with emotions. Believe it or not, I have no ill intentions. You have to admit the fact that I need someone to step up and get this done, and you, um, I think you're the only one who can do it, and you should understand that you pay more attention to the best of your talents in the use of troops. You see, it turns out that my judgment was correct, and not only did you return safely, but I heard that you brought back a prisoner. Breakfast is over, now tell me about last night. β
After speaking, Kan Delun put on his battle armor under the service of the guards, and walked straight to the sand table not far away. The waiter was well-behaved, listening to the commander say that he had finished breakfast, and hurriedly came up to clean up the table, Liang Ke didn't react, only his dinner plate and the knife and fork in his hand were left on the table, so angry that Liang Ke threw the knife and fork in his hand into the dinner plate with a "bang", wiped his mouth and walked to Kan Delun's side.
"Last night, I entered the ...... from here"
Liang Ke pointed to the battle map and explained the process of stealing the camp in detail, until he heard from the lizard's mouth the purpose of those logs and ice cubes, as well as the news of the commander of the orc legion. Quincy, who was standing on the side, grinned, and secretly admired this major who was younger than himself, and he was really not an ordinary fierce man.
"Hahaha! Amazing! Really amazing! Unexpectedly, our Colonel Aragorn is still a rare spirit mage, no wonder you have the courage to go deep into the orc camp alone, any courage must have strength as the foundation! What do you think? Lieutenant Colonel Quincy. β
"Of course, of course. It's really unbelievable, the commander is very accurate in seeing people, if you send me, I'm afraid it would be good if you can see my body being sent back. β
Liang Ke squinted at Quincy's expression, only to see him smiling and indifferent, his eyes clear and sincere. This guy is really not simple, in a simple sentence, he not only expressed his admiration for himself, but also did not forget to pat Kan Delun's sycophants, and he actually behaved so naturally, no wonder he became a lieutenant colonel staff officer at a young age, and he couldn't achieve as much as Kekeba back then.
Kandelon slowly sipped the fruit tea in his cup, as if he didn't hear the compliment in Quincy's words.
"Colonel Aragorn, now let's talk about the captives you brought back!"
"Lord Commander, my subordinates wanted to go a little deeper and capture a slightly higher-ranking officer in order to ask about their strategic intentions, but ......"
Liang Ke told how to be found by the giant wolf, how to kill the giant wolf, how to hide in the garbage heap, how to raid the guards, and capture the third prince of the orc commander, York, although Lao Liang did not add oil and vinegar, but Kan Delun also heard that it was very dangerous, and when he heard the end, he stood up excitedly, staring at Lao Liang's eyes and roaring in disbelief.
"What? You said that the captive you captured was the commander of the orc army, the third prince of the old beastmaster?"
"Yes, if I don't use their supreme commander as a shield, how can I get out of the orc camp on my own?"
"Quincy, quickly pass the military order, order all the officers and soldiers defending the city to be on guard, keep their bodies and hands on their swords, always observe the movements of the orcs, and report to me at any time. β
Quincy also sensed the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly took orders to leave.
