Volume 2 Queldan's Strategy Chapter 21 Breakthrough

Under the same sky, everyone has their own troubles and pains. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info While Li Yun was melancholy about 'sitting on a mountain of gold and no food to eat', Viano of the 33rd Column of the Knights of the Templars was struggling to sleep because of the lukewarm reaction of the Crusaders.

The food was not eaten in vain, and the money was not taken in vain, and the Crusaders provided more than 33 men and 1,000 horses every day without making any requests, which made Viano extremely uneasy. After eight sleepless nights in a row, on the morning of the second day of his arrival in Villach, Viano, who could not hold his breath, visited Li Yun again.

"Captain Viano, please take a seat!" Li Yun gave up his seat in a kind manner.

"Master Kezananza, I ...... I ......" Before she could speak, Viano's face turned red again, and what she wanted to say this time was indeed more difficult to say.

"You are still satisfied with the service we have provided to the Thirty-Three Columns recently, I really can't get anything too good, I hope the brothers of the Knights of the Templar will be considerate! Whether or not Queldan can be illuminated by the holy light of the God of Light depends on your wisdom and bravery! The Crusaders will do everything they can to provide logistical support for the heroes, and if you kill Villach now, I will lead the team to personally send you off!" Li Yun said in a sincere voice.

"No, no...... I ......"

"Oh, didn't you come to tell us that we were going to go on an expedition, isn't that right?" Li Yun interrupted Viano again, "Our consumption is huge, and the people are in urgent need of their own new land and houses, and the thin tents can't stop the cold wind raging in the harsh winter in the Northland, so we have to hurry up!"

"Do you have to watch the officers and men of the 33rd Column die in battle to be satisfied?" Viano couldn't help it, she stood up and shouted loudly.

"I remember someone saying, 'Then we will conquer Queldan in the Thirty-third Column and show you!' I really remember the heroic appearance of that time! Or, you choose to betray en masse! Give everyone a justifiable reason to contest, who is the best of the 33rd Column or the Crusaders, let the facts speak. ”

"Why? Why do you have to force us?"

"Self-righteous, disobedient, laissez-faire, and without a sense of collectivity. I don't need such a team, you will only become a serious danger to the collapse of the team at a critical moment. So, die like a warrior!"

"You're the devil, the real devil!" Viano yelled at Li Yun.

"Uh-huh! It's been said many times, but I still want to thank you for the reminder so that I can say to myself, ah, you don't have to feel guilty at all, because you're the devil. Li Yun was half-heartedly laughing there.

The conversation could no longer proceed, and Viano made no real progress, which provoked a lot of anger. She tried to take off the blindfold from her right eye twice, but finally held back, "I am a warrior of light with a devout faith, I can sacrifice, but I can't fall for hatred......" On the way back, Viano repeatedly persuaded herself.

On the edge of the Angsuha Plateau, a five-day's walk from the Philach Pass, there is also a figure who is depressed and melancholy, Sagrim Hibiki.

"I can't take it anymore!" Sagrim roared in the Orc language of the Ringstone Tribe, and tyrannically swept the half-eaten oryx on the table in front of him, along with a small wooden barrel of Muge wine, to the bottom of the table, wafting through the foul-smelling tent with the smell of blood and sweetness.

"Chief, we must be a little more patient. It would be a great trouble to expose the fact that we are here, to alert the enemy and hide on the other side of the Villach Pass. Moreover, you don't have enough siege weapons, and if you attack hard, the losses will be too great!" spoke a tall humanoid, standing in the darkness not far from the table, his whole body wrapped in a dark gray, condensed mist, from his voice to his appearance, giving people a sense of unreality.

"Patience? Go around the camp, the warriors who are in desperate need of a fight are fighting each other over which woman to sleep with at night. Let's go to the warehouse again, and the food we brought is already at the bottom! There are not enough animals to feed so many people in this place, and the monsters are too powerful! We are never afraid of death, and we need to fight to consume too many people! But not in the mouths or claws of the monsters, and there is no shortage of monsters in our homeland!" Sagrim had an ugly nose that was flat, upturned upwards, like most of his countrymen, and the fact that he was now fanning his nose was a sign of his particular anger.

"Didn't you take someone to beat up a group of goblins who dared to offend your majesty the day before yesterday?

Suddenly, he stood up, and Sagrim clenched his fist at the humanoid shadow, "Don't try to distract me, cunning fellow! I'm here to capture that tender 'fat sheep', not to trouble the goblins." I have decided, I will attack, I will fight, I will take the Villach Pass, and then wait for the 'fat sheep' to fall into the trap I have set, or, go to the other side of the mountain and loot until it is enough to compensate for this long journey!"

The shadow cursed the entire Sagrim family several times in his heart, but his mouth said, "I wonder if the chief has any plans?"

Habitually shrugging his shoulders, the six-foot-tall orc leader was not too young, and even on weekdays he needed to wear a studded leather strap to relieve his back pain. This is a problem that many orcs who can survive middle age have to face, and the multi-layered muscles make the bones of the orcs always in a state of overloading, so they have developed the habit of hanging their shoulders and bending over, so they have fallen into the problem of back pain at some age.

Gray-blue eyes shone with the glow of so-called wisdom, "I've got a perfect plan!" said Sagrim, playing with his horrible long hair that hung down on his front and smelled fishy from blood, "I'll send a warband to the vicinity of Villach Pass." Seeing that there are fewer of them, the stupid humans defending the city will definitely send troops to annihilate them, and then, this warband will lead the humans to our ambush circle. It would be a great victory to annihilate the enemy, and then send some warriors to pretend to be captured and the humans back to the pass and trick the gate open......"

Sagrim frothed at the mouth, immersed in his war fantasies, as he listened to the shadow of his flawed plan rise to a new level of arrogance, the height of wanting to vomit.

"Chief, you are truly the wise leader of the orcs that has not been seen in a hundred years! What a misfortune to meet those human defenders of the pass!" At the time of this flattery, Shadow had completely given up on Sagrim: "It is obviously not practical to rely on such an orc force to deal with the Crusaders, but it should still be possible to cause some trouble." There's still plenty of time to encourage some stupid and greedy guys before the cold winter comes......"

Warbands, the smallest group of orc societies, typically 250-300 people, live a nomadic life, raiding to support themselves and their families. 40% male, 20% female, 40% children, this is the standard ratio of warbands. Therefore, the real front-line combat strength of Sagrim's orc force is less than 5,000 people, and the orcs of a wargroup in his mouth refer to all the adult males in this warband.

That night, Sagrim's orc army set out. These 'green-skinned' who can live unrestricted on both the surface and underground can move normally during the day, but they usually hide in their nests to sleep during this time, as the bright light of good weather can burn their eyes. Moreover, the night can bring more chaos and fear to many of their enemies, and the orcs love this tune.

On October 17, the year 218 of the Kingdom of Nesser, it was an ordinary night, and it was also an extraordinary night. Nearly 10,000 orcs embarked on a path that was doomed to failure on this night, and at the same time not necessarily a bad thing for them.

It was also on this night that for Li Yun, depression shifted from one form to another. Just like the first molt of a snake, the time has come, the conditions have been met, the critical point has been broken, and everything has naturally embarked on a new track.

It was also from this night that the power of knowledge and the ancient elves stepped onto the stage of Li Yun's conquest and domination of Queldan. As a sign of substantial progress in research, warfare against unsuspecting barbarians became child's play, something that could be exchanged for a certain amount of energy.

The next day, the officers and men of the crusaders received a very strange order to stop all the work at hand and rush to make the shackles, nearly seven thousand pairs of shackles. To this end, twenty new improvised furnaces for smelting were erected, all the weapons of the non-combatants were collected and concentrated, and the oil and wood carried by the Crusaders were completely depleted in a single day.

From the interior to the border, the long transport lines kept a lot of supplies on the way, so the Crusaders extended a hand to the defenders of the Villach Pass.

"Unbelievable, unimaginable!" Guard A, who was standing guard in the material warehouse, said to Guard B, "I suspect that Viscount Ningde has some kind of secret agreement with the Crusaders, did you see Viscount Ningde's performance? Not only did he make the Crusaders empty almost everything in the warehouse, but even the materials for our weapons repair were sent to the Crusader camp, and the next target may be to collect every soldier's underwear!"

Guard B, whose face was full of freckles, pouted: "I don't know! Who is the boss of the Crusaders? The Holy Marquis! The genius girl who can make the most money! I heard that there are many people in Nesmail who live a rich life because they have taken refuge in this young lady at the beginning, and people will value this little thing at the border gate? It's just an urgent need for a while, and Viscount Ningde is called a long-term investment." Of course, it feels like a little bit of falling under the pomegranate skirt of the beautiful marquis!"

"It's a luxury to hear that the Crusaders are rushing to make iron shackles in large quantities! What are they going to do? Go to the depths of the Glimmering Rock Wilderness to catch ogres and come back? Then you don't need to open more than twenty furnaces, the ogres are small groups......

"Wrong, think about what the Crusaders have been doing these days, collecting a lot of food, and then making a lot of prison equipment, which is obviously to feed a large number of slaves, stupid!"

Guard A slapped his thigh exaggeratedly, "Oh, you're right! I seem to have seen that scene: a large number of savage residents gathered together in close friendliness, and the trolls with their arms around the bear goblins and the bastards next to the gray dwarves...... The arrival of the Crusaders made the aliens give up their centuries-old struggle with each other, and they lined up neatly on the glaring stone field, spearheads in unison, and the scene was spectacular. Then the crusaders shook the shackles in their hands and said, "Fools, you have lost, because you are not wearing panties!"

“...... You're a real loss of mouth!" Guard B said helplessly, staring at his companion's thin lips.

Just as the defenders of the pass were puzzled by the sudden generosity of their commander and the inexplicable actions of the crusaders, Lana and several professional statisticians were accounting for the bills handed over to them in the central camp of the crusaders......

"The results are in! We have enough materials to make the shackles, but it will take five days to produce enough quantities. Moreover, nearly 10,000 orc captives, which is three to four percent more than expected, and our supplies are even shorter. I'm afraid it's going to be a tough winter. Lana said worriedly.

"Rest assured, your worries will be easier to solve than you think. The shackles are not enough, so let's prepare some ropes for bundling goods to solve the problem!" Regarding the daily necessities that can be produced by a series of crops such as grain, Li Yun has already begun to consider using the Eternal Water again. Still, like last time, he wasn't prepared to let too many people know the secrets of the Eternal Water. Unpredictable, Li Yun needs the general public to have such an evaluation of him, in addition to maintaining awe and distance, this is also to prepare for the possible appearance of gods in the future.

"Master, what you want has already left the second convoy and is coming at full speed, and it is estimated that it will be delivered tomorrow afternoon!" Alina came in from outside the tent and reported to Li Yun.

"What is it that is so urgent that the Rose Knight needs to oversee it himself?" asked Lana.

"Some herbs, I deliberately let them collect, I didn't expect them to come in handy so quickly. Li Yun replied very vaguely......

On the afternoon of the first day, more than twenty riders with two horses arrived at the crusader camp. Each of these riders carried a small package, and even the dust on their eyelashes and the tiredness on their faces silently told of the hard work of running day and night and traveling long distances.

The package was sent directly to the research room of the ancient elves, and an hour later, Seleburn reported to Li Yun: "It's done!"

"Very good! You guys bought time for the perfect victory. Li Yun said with satisfaction. "Guards, go and ask Viano of the Thirty-third Column. ”

The shy captain was invited to Li Yun's tent, and the two were alone, Li Yun got straight to the point, "Captain Viano, there are nearly 10,000 orcs waiting for us in the depths of the Shishi Wilderness. We've never talked about it, but we all know it. There are more than 1,000 priests in the thirty-three columns, and it is indeed not much different from sending you to death when you fight against more than 6 times the orcs in the wilderness. I'm afraid that's what you've been so worried about these days!"

“...... Yes!" Viano hesitated for a moment, but admitted in a low voice.

"Heroism, the question of face, the sense of crisis, I don't know what caused the Thirty-Three Columns to be so distracted from the Crusaders. You think you are righteous, but look at your deeds, do you see the Crusaders as allies a little bit, do you see Lana as a saint conferred by the Pope?"

After a pause, Li Yun continued: "I didn't invite you here today to discuss who is right and who is wrong, but I hope you will go back and seriously consider what I said." Maybe you were pampered when you were in the Holy See, but this is not the Holy See, and we don't live by looking at the faces of the Templars. It would be a mistake to think that your willingness to join this expedition is a gesture of charity to the Crusaders. You are afraid of death, and the Crusaders are afraid, but you cannot win the battle, but the Crusaders can. ”

"The orc army is advancing, and tomorrow their journey from Villach will be reduced to a little over a day's foot, which is exactly what the outpost of the Pass cannot reach. It is tomorrow that the Crusaders will defeat them and capture them. Li Yun said with great certainty.

"Master Kizananza, do you know what you're talking about?" Viano looked at Li Yun in disbelief. "Hold it high and fall down so hard, even if you want to belittle the thirty-three columns, you don't need to make such a big joke! Is this man crazy?" Viano thought wildly.

"Please go back!" Li Yun grinned silently, "Soon, the facts will prove that on the stage of Queldan, you thirty-three columns are just accessories, and you are definitely not the protagonist!"

Throughout the afternoon, the Crusaders were preparing their marches, setting up empty pack wagons, carrying large bundles of ropes and shackles, shedding heavy armor and changing into light leather clothing, not even preparing spare battle supplies. Anyone who knows a little bit can see that this is not going to war at all, but more like receiving and escorting goods, and it is a short-distance one.

After midnight, the crusader procession departed. This time, there were more than 1,400 light raiders, archers, infantry teams, half of the scout teams, and mage regiments. The dwarves of the raiding party assisted the sappers as the main force in the production of shackles without traveling, and the remaining scouts served as temporary camp guards.

Leading the team was Li Yun, followed by Alina, the Wind Messenger Messiah, and the Water Messenger Ogoros.

The moonlight was misty, the insects chirped, and the large number of pack carts was enough for all the officers and men to ride in the vehicles. Until this time, including the Crusaders, did not know the mission of their trip. However, it was explained above that the marching speed should be slowed down, torches should not be lit, and other officers and soldiers could squint on the swaying and slow car to get rid of those who were in charge of guarding......

The Shishien Wilderness is a desolate semi-Gobi terrain with little sand and many rocks. The long-term erosion of wind and rain has made many of the bare glaucomite rocks here become less angular, round and smooth. Both daylight and moonlight can make these local stones reflect some light, and the low, scarce semi-thorn plants are not enough to shade them, so the shimmering stone wilderness is like a reflective glass, and it is a strange beauty.

In nature, beauty is often accompanied by an equal degree of danger, and this is no exception. Especially at night, the Shimmering Stone Wilderness is a predatory paradise for many beasts and monsters.

Of course, with the exception of a few powerful and stupid monsters that are fearless, ordinary beasts would not trouble a group as large as the Crusaders. Beasts' natural instincts warn them of what they can't afford to provoke, so most of the monsters and beasts they encounter with the Crusaders will choose to stay away.

The Crusaders' first sortie was obviously not bad, except for encountering a two-headed giant with a small ticket of orcs and goblins who wanted to pinch the tiger's whiskers, so to speak, the sortie was pleasant and lacked suspense.

Thirteen feet tall and about 5,200 pounds, this adult two-headed giant had a facial features similar to those of an orc, with a face ranging from pink to pale brown, with long, sticky unkempt hair on his head, and a mouth full of yellow teeth that emitted an astonishing stench from time to time. The only thing worthy of praise is probably the tattered skin tied around his waist, which finally did not expose the 'majestic' directly to the air, saving himself some face in front of intelligent beings.

In Li Yun's impression, the two-headed giant lives quite a 'pure heart and few desires'. They like to live alone, and they are not very keen on 'hey' things, and they have little interest in gold and silver treasures. They collect treasure only in exchange for the service of orcs or goblins. Goblins or orcs will sometimes set traps around the lair of the two-headed giants or assist them in repelling powerful opponents. Sometimes, as we do today, we go hunting on the surface.

The two-headed giant is not very intelligent, but he is a cunning warrior. With two heads, they have a keen eye and are quite alert, making them natural guards. While they like to raid their opponents, it is obviously more difficult to do so in the flat Glaring Stones.

Perhaps it was because the two-headed giant's belly was not full, or perhaps he regarded the beasts of the third class and the horses as fragrant meat, or perhaps he was ready to dash the crusader column with his bravery and get a vote and leave, but he took a big stride with a stick the size of a bucket, and rushed over with such a thud and a howl.

This kind of brute force player, who is not as strong as Alina, and whose skills are not as good as Alina's, does not need to take up a lot of pen and ink to describe. With just a punch and kick, Alina beat her with a bruised nose and swollen face, and her teeth all over the ground. The two-headed giant's fierce personality, accustomed to fighting to the end, made the two-headed giant unable to stand up at all until he was tied to a second-class pack cart by a group of crusaders.

One of the warriors also kicked him a few times, "Idiot, the beautiful tyrannosaurus who dares to provoke the crusaders, your mother must have eaten pig brains when she gave birth to you!"

So, the elusive savage giant joined the crusaders in a daze. Like a drop of water, the addition of the two-headed giant did not cause much of a splash in the deep waters of the Crusaders, and there really wasn't much to tell about in the course of his life. However, the butterfly effect is scary and unpredictable. His son is a great giant hero for later generations, and many people may have guessed that his wife is the 'cow giant' who carries the banner for Lana.

Soon after solving this small trouble, looking at the sky, Li Yun explained a few words to Albert, picked up the two ancient elves who were not good at running, and went straight to the location of the orc army first. Alina picked up a large package from the car and followed.

"Albert, how is Sir going to turn so many orcs into captives?" asked Captain Solanda.

Shrugging his shoulders, Albert looked at the background of Li Yun's departure and said, "I can't think of it either!" I can only say that Mr. never does things that he is not sure of. There are so many surprises he has brought to people, we just need to trust him as we always have. ”
