Chapter 84: Reserve
The other day, the pre-war meeting convened by Empress Gladys ended with Earl Pike volunteering to be the commander of the forward army.
By the time the meeting ended, the scouts on both sides were already at loggerheads. The mountainous terrain here could not allow all the soldiers of the empire to fight here, so it was impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to rush up at once, and they could only march step by step.
In several back-and-forth battles, the scouts on both sides suffered heavy losses, and neither of them benefited. Seeing this, the ministers agreed that the empire must force its way forward, or else the legion will fall into the never-ending harassment of the barbarians.
Therefore, under the order of the empress, the whole army once again set out for camp. The scouts of the northern tribes saw the attack of the army and understood that they could not be forced to retreat from the border. However, he still relied on his familiarity with the environment to follow the Imperial Legion from afar, and the Empire had no way to do this, but to disperse the formation to ensure a relatively wide range of security.
The occasional harassment slowed the Legion's march at best, and the Legion made steady progress towards the gathering place of the northern snowy tribes. At this rate, they will soon be at the destination of the trip.
An eagle swooped down from the sky and landed on Gail's arm. Gail took out a piece of jerky and stuffed it into the eagle's beak, touched the back of its neck lovingly, and took out information about his scout from the tube it wore on its lap.
Gail unfolded a palm-square letter with both hands, which clearly stated the location of the Imperial Legion, he carefully read the entire informant, put down the letter, sighed deeply, looked at the mountains to the south and sighed: "The Imperial Army is finally coming!"
"With the support of the Abyss Army in this war, what are you worried about, Prince Gael?" a shrill voice came from behind him.
Gail didn't look back to know who was talking to him, he still looked at the snow-covered mountains in the distance and replied: "I grew up in the war with the Empire, I have led the warriors of the tribe to fight the Imperial army many times, I know their strength very well, besides, this time it is the most elite army of the Empire, can I defeat the Empire for hundreds of years with these giant beasts and some gnolls? ”
Nikolai walked up to Gael's side and looked at the thorny dragon beast that came with a burden in the distance, and said, "Don't underestimate these four-legged beasts, they have the magical power to be one hundred, and they can definitely take the Imperial Legion by surprise." ”
Gale said with an unchanged expression: "I also hope that everything will go well in the war as you said, but as the prince of the Snow Tribe, I must consider the most dangerous situation. It's a pity that this piece of scenery that I love is about to disappear with the war!"
The cold wind blew with snowflakes blowing, blowing the gray hair that hung down from Gail's eyes.
"My lord, everything is ready, just wait for the human army to come and send you to your death!" several minotaur warriors reported to Toren the Minotaur from the rift in space.
Toren the Minotaur nodded with satisfaction and praised: "You have worked hard during this time, after conquering this world this time, I will report your hard work to the Lord with Bobby, remember, the abyss will not treat the warriors who serve him badly!"
"Thank you, Chief, for your kindness!" the Minotaur warriors thanked the Chief.
When the minotaur warriors retreated, Goblin Bobby pursed his lips and complained to Toruń, "You just said as if I had a good relationship with you, and if it weren't for making sure that all the armaments had arrived, I wouldn't want to stand with you idiot with muscles in my head!
Torun the Minotaur stepped on the ground with his right foot, and Poppy was shaken. Seeing Bobby's embarrassment, Toren sarcastically said, "If you change your flamboyant shortcomings, maybe your goblin race reputation will be a little better." ”
Bobbi shook his dizzy little head and said, "You, you dare to treat me like this, I must report your behavior of hurting colleagues to adults, you wait for me!"
Toren smiled contemptuously, not taking the goblin's threatening words to heart, and turned and walked towards the forest in the distance.
Poppy was very strange and shouted, "Big Toruń, what are you trying to do?"
Toren held up a strange black stone in his hand and said to him, "I can't fully trust the strength of the humans in the snowfield, I'll go to the neighborhood now and prepare some 'back-up'!"
Poppy saw the black stone and understood his thoughts, and smiled at his back: "You don't look so stupid, you can still do such an evil thing, you are worthy of being an adult's subordinate!"
Goblin Bobby let out a grin, an eerie smile on his ugly face, and his body trembled unnaturally, as if he was rejoicing in something.
In the preceding war, both sides were making the best preparations for their victory, and only the nearby snow-covered mountains were quietly terrifying, quietly watching everything happen.
