Chapter 44: The Bloody Battle of the Covenant
"Such a powerful magic fluctuation, this is also a weapon from the hand of that Excellency?"
It wasn't until Leo came over that Hoka took his eyes back from the magic guide cannon, his expression a little surprised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes, the contents of the ring seem to make him very satisfied, and he gave me a more powerful turret and a magic cannon that can damage the supernatural when charged. ”
Leo returned the glory of the Children of Nature to Hoka and introduced them to the H33 Thor Turret and the Magic Cannon, leaving them all with shocked expressions.
"If the odds of defeating Otto were only 30% before, now they can reach 50%, Leo, thanks to you. When this war is over, I will thank you and your Excellency. ”
Hoka said solemnly, and the elves also looked at Leo with grateful eyes, Leo smiled faintly, and rode lightly on the horse led by the elf soldiers, and No. 76 and others behind him also got on the horse.
"Brother, wait. ”
Hoka went to the front to lead the army and began to advance, and the people were about to follow, when suddenly the voice of Dilu was heard in the sky, and Leo looked up and saw a giant bird hovering in the sky, and Dilu was sitting on it.
"The immortal bird has been running to other places to hunt for food these days, and it took some time to find it back. ”
The giant bird dropped a little higher, Leo saw its appearance clearly, and vaguely felt familiar, and Dilu then revealed its identity, the white dove that had sent the letter.
Leo's eyes were a little surprised, he didn't expect that it could turn into such a huge magical beast when it looked like an ordinary white dove, no wonder it had the name of an immortal bird.
"Senior brother wants to come with us?" Leo's eyes flashed, he thought that Dilu's disappearance was not intended to participate in the affairs of the elves, but at this time he appeared on the undead bird, if Dilu followed them, he and the three of Firig Hoka together could reduce the numerical advantage of the orcs a lot.
"The teacher told me to follow you, but I won't take the initiative, I will only protect your safety. ”
Delu's words disappointed Leo slightly, but he didn't bother with the thought that Delu could also be a deterrent to the enemy by his side.
At this time, the elven army had already begun to advance, and when the elven army assembled, they walked through the side door, which did not attract the attention of the residents of Kirtland, and Leo did not call them to announce anything, and the departure of their tens of thousands of people was still very quiet.
Hoka led the soldiers at the front, with the mages in the middle, and Leo and his minions at the rear.
It's not a long way to reach the destination valley, but along the way, you need to pay attention to the wind wolf scouts sent by the orcs, kill them when you see them, and don't let them run back to deliver the news.
Except for the slight movement of the scouts, the army was quiet all the way, the elven soldiers had calm faces, and the mages shrouded in robes sat in the carriage and meditated.
Leo was similar, No. 76 and Xuanyue were in charge of the vigilance of the woods on both sides, Mishaya and Qing Yu seemed to be testing each other's magic, and the other summoned creatures that had not reached the hero level followed quietly without making a sound.
Leo turned his head, Yan Shenchou rode a white horse beside him, looking at the front with a calm expression, and after noticing Leo's gaze, he turned his head slightly and cast a puzzled look.
"I'm a little nervous, war or something, and I've really never been in contact with it. ”
Leo said softly, whether it was in his previous life or in the past, Leo was the kind of person who had never experienced the so-called war, but he participated in it at this time, and he was still the kind of person who could decide whether a soldier lived or died.
"Don't worry, you're going to be the best you can do. Yan's sorrowful words carried the confidence that even Leo didn't know where he got it, and the extremely affirmative words made Leo couldn't help but be encouraged and smiled.
As the sun slowly slipped from the sky, night followed suit, and an army of more than 40,000 men arrived at the valley that Hoka had spoken.
The terrain of the valley was even more complex than Hoka had described, and if they had been ambushed beforehand, they would have been able to directly destroy some of the orc army.
Upon reaching the valley, Anna, dressed in light armor, rode over from the front, bringing news from Hoka and asking Leo to go to the front to discuss tactics with him.
However, Leo finally took Dilu and Yan Shenchou with him, believing that Dilu's follower would make Hoka more sure, and Yan Shenchou because she was very smart since she was a child, and she was familiar with all kinds of books, so she might be able to help her.
Hoka and the others gathered around a huge natural stone to discuss, and when they saw Anna with the three of them, Hoka unexpectedly showed a look of surprise.
However, he then sighed with some annoyance: "It's all because I had a conflict with the Council of Elders, and the elders refused to send clansmen above the Golden Rank to my command, otherwise we would not be as passive as we are now." ”
Hoka's words made Leo and Firig both look abrupt, they had been wondering before, as one of the strongest races in this continent, why the army sent by Hoka was very powerful, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were elves below the golden rank, it turned out that there was a conflict between Hoka and the Elven Council of Elders.
However, after knowing this reason, everyone was a little speechless about the Council of Elders, Hoka asked people to guard the elves' doorstep, but they still did not give reinforcements because of the previous conflict.
It's no wonder that Hoka, a legendary powerhouse who can easily dominate one side, is now so happy to see an alliance of the transcendent rank.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't bear to tell Hokadilu that he didn't plan to make a move. He first looked at Di Lu's expression, and found that the other party's expression was calm and did not mean to speak, and his heart moved, so he really didn't tell the news.
After sighing, Hawka also noticed Yan Shenchou beside Leo, he went to the manor a lot of times, Yan Shenchou naturally knew her, and also knew that she was a level 33 gold-level professional.
But the current situation is definitely not something that a gold-level professional can participate in, and Hoka only thought that Leo had a close relationship with her to bring her, and nodded to her and didn't say anything.
After everyone sat down around the stone, a flame of condensed fighting energy appeared from Hoka's fingertips, and he tapped it several times, and a map of flames soon appeared on it, which was exactly what the valley looked like.
Hoka pointed to the largest gap in the map and said, "This is where we came in, and there is only one place, which is Kirtland, which is where Otto and his family must pass. ”
Then he pointed to the two openings on the other side of the map, and said in a deep voice: "This exit to the north leads to the Holy Empire and the Gray Eagle Kingdom, and Otto will not pass through here, while this exit to the northwest leads to Otto's Blackwood Castle and a city called Bennier, from which Otto will enter." ”
"Anna told me before that there were orc scouts who appeared in Kirtland, so Otto should have chosen our exit when they came in. There are a lot of boulders and strange rocks on this road, which will cause great restrictions on their cavalry, and when the time comes, our infantry will be directly blocked at the exit, and the archers and mages will be ambushed on both sides of the valley, and then I will propose a bloody battle with Otto, and with Otto's character, I will definitely accept it, and then we will send ......"
Hawka explained his plan to the crowd step by step, but when it came to the Covenant Bloodfight, Leo questioned that he didn't know what the Covenant Bloodwar was.
"The Covenant Blood War was founded by the Caesar Empire, which once unified the continent, and the nature is similar to a life-and-death battle, but it has become a duel between the two sides of the war by sending generals, officers, and soldiers to duel, victory or defeat is a matter of honor and morale, and few people will reject the Covenant Blood War proposed by the other party. If the Hoka seniors proposed it to the orcs, the orcs should be 100% acceptable, in the historical wars, they often rely on the blood battle of the Covenant to improve the morale of the soldiers, and their three levels of combat power are stronger than the average race, and the victory rate is frighteningly high. Firig lifted his glasses and explained Leo's doubts.
"Well, Hoka is a legendary powerhouse, will that person named Otto really accept it? He shouldn't be a legendary-level professional. Leo understood the nature of the Covenant's bloody battle after listening to Firig's words, but he then asked.
"Otto has reached the transcendent level at best, but he will accept it, because he is so confident in his army that even if he loses, his men will win him a bloody battle at the rank of officer and soldier. ”
Hoka answered Leo's question himself, a complicated look on his face, as if he remembered something from the past.
"Remember the black-armored orc we saw when we fled after defeating Stolas, he was Otto, I saw him at that time and felt familiar, and when I came back, I sent someone to find out Otto's identity, it turned out that he was the son of an old acquaintance of mine. ”
Hoka looked at Leo and said, reminding Leo of the stout orc he needed to look up to, but Leo was still puzzled.
Does this have anything to do with what was said earlier?
"My old acquaintance's character is arrogant and arrogant, and as his only son, Otto will certainly inherit his character, I am absolutely sure. As if sensing Leo's thoughts, Hoka continued.
Then, with a slight wave of his hand, the flame map dissipated, and he looked up at Firig and Leo and said, "Although the victory of the Covenant Blood War is dispensable in my plan, I still hope that we can win. I will shoot at the general level, and I will send you Firig at the officer level, and the strength of the opponent should be between the golden rank and the transcendent rank. ”
"Seniors, don't worry, I'm still very good at cleaning up the nobodies. Firig nodded, his expression unwavering.
Hoka smiled for a moment and looked at Leo, who pointed at himself in surprise.
"Are you going to let me go to a soldier-level bloody battle?"
It's not that Leo is not confident, judging from that trip to Blackwood Fort, the ordinary soldiers of the orcs are about the same strength as him, although his attributes are much higher than ordinary people, and there are many hole cards, but he doesn't believe that this kind of bloody orcs will send ordinary soldiers, if he sends orcs above the gold level, he will be completely killed.
"Naturally not, the candidate in my heart is Your Excellency No. 76, his strength has increased greatly after the last incident, and his own combat skills are very strong, so it should be no problem to fight against orc soldiers. ”
Hoka glanced at Leo strangely, shook his head, and said slowly.
