Chapter 320: A Quarter of a Map

With a little difficulty, the deboner gave the answer he had obtained from the interrogation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Shalon's relics turned out to be ......" Du Chen glanced at the bones in disbelief, and then looked at Potter, "A piece of skin?"
"Well, it's a piece of skin the size of a baby's palm, on the left chest!" Potter was sure Du Chen had heard correctly. "The cause of Chalon's death was that he was pierced in the heart after being poisoned, and the coroner said that his left chest was already bloody and fleshy, and it was normal for a small piece of animal skin to be missing, Mr. Brooke, is there any secret to this animal skin?"
Du Chen felt ridiculous, for a small piece of animal skin, he mobilized the people, took four lives and a brother of the head of the St. Barton family, is this transaction too much of a loss?" "I want to know first, how did the orcs know that Sha Long was missing such a piece of skin?"
"Orcs have the custom of secret burials of royals, that is, to eat corpses with vultures!"
According to Hawkins, at first, the officials who collected the corpses of the orcs did not care about such a small piece of skin. But unexpectedly, there happened to be a tattoo on Shalon's skin, and the tattoo of the beast clan was painted with a special dye, which the vultures did not dare to eat! After the burial, the beast clan counted the remaining tattooed skin of Shalong and handed it to the beast emperor, and the beast emperor could see at a glance that a piece of Shalon's tattoo skin was missing!
Du Chen retorted: "It's just a piece of skin missing, that piece of skin may have been shattered when Sha Long died, or it may have rotted later, and he should pay such a big price......" suddenly woke up, "Could it be that the point is that tattoo!"
"Yes, there's something wrong with that tattoo!" According to Hawkins, that tattoo is the most common tattoo to others, but in fact, it's part of a map!"
"Tattoo the map on your body, hmph, the orcs have similar hobbies to the Qinshui Divine Envoys!" Du Chen asked again, "What exactly is the map?" Potter suddenly lowered his head, touched his left shoulder, and said in his heart: "Hawkins shouldn't know either, right?"
Hawkins didn't know, he said that the map had a total of four points, the Beast Emperor, Shalon, and the head and heir of the St. Barton family, each of these four people had a part of it, and where the map pointed, only these four people knew. ”
Du Chen touched his nose and concluded: "So you can understand the matter, someone used my eldest brother to kill Sha Long and took away a quarter of the map on his body!"
That's what it seems!
Du Chen rubbed his forehead, "But there are still many questions, why did that person still capture my eldest brother and flee behind my eldest brother's back, and who is chasing him! Who are the two groups of people who protect my eldest brother!......? I'm afraid I'll have to catch that guy to figure it out!"
Bone Removal said: "Young Master, Hawkins has fled four or five hundred miles to the north, should you arrest him back, or let him go back?"
Du Chen pursed his lips, "Let him go back, Hawkins has no use value!"
Boning hesitated for a moment, and added: "Young Master, although Hawkins has said a lot of useful things under the spiritual charm of Miss, his will is extremely strong, and he is a fanatic believer in Auerbach, Miss can only charm him temporarily, and has not succeeded in planting a spiritual contract!"
"Little Beibei's spiritual contract also fails, and the orcs are really crazy about Auerbach's beliefs!" Du Chen waved his hand, "Then let him go back, anyway, we didn't reveal our identity, so letting Hawkins, who owes me a life, go back is far more valuable than killing him!"
The deboner nodded silently, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Young Master, the corpses of the four red-clothed guards ......"
"It's yours!" Du Chen shrugged and spread his hands.
Bony bowed down and thanked him, "I'll study their bones carefully!
Du Chen knocked on Erlang's leg and half-leaned back on the soft chair with a very playful temperament, "Harry has already returned to the territory with little Beibei, and Uncle Foye has also left me a book to continue to recuperate! Now we have two things left, the first is to find the eldest brother as soon as possible, and the second is how to deal with this war!"
"Young Master, now that Steve is still in danger, do you really want to participate in this war in person?"
"These two things are one thing now!" Du Chen pointed to his ears and said with a wry smile: "Just now Du Si told me that that person is still attached to my eldest brother's energy, and now it has fallen on a prairie...... That bastard kidnapped my eldest brother and went to the Macallan Empire! The vast prairie is the same for thousands of miles, and there are enemies everywhere, so I might as well follow the army to find it!"
One of the most important reasons why Du Chen decided to go to the war himself was to find Steve, but another reason was also quite important.
After that big battle, how many wounded soldiers should there be? When the lotus light shines...... Hehe, Du Chen could almost foresee that his ass would definitely bloom!
......
St. John's City is about 1,500 miles away from the front line of the Haitian Pass, and Tuku City, the meeting place of the second batch of miscellaneous armies, is only 500 miles away from the Haitian Pass.
There are a total of forty-eight large and small lords in Lanning, of which only seven people personally led troops to Tuku City, and six of them are lords of several major provinces in the north, and the victory or defeat of the war is directly related to their net worth and surname. And the last lord is our protagonist - Du Chen!
Tuku City was a semi-military fortress, large enough to accommodate an army of 100,000, but when Du Chen, Potter, Ariza, and Debony arrived here, the fortress was already full of troops, and even countless military tents had been set up outside the city.
For the first time in his life, Du Chen saw a dense army, walking on the road leading to the city gate, and the fierce soldiers on both sides were so overwhelming that he almost couldn't breathe. "Potter, you see there are at least 200,000 people here, right?"
"It's 213,000 people!" Potter's figure was extremely accurate, because he held a confidential file in his hand, "This time all the forty-eight lords sent troops, the maximum number was 12,000, and the minimum was 300 people, and the total number of troops assembled in the end may exceed 300,000, and now you see only a part, and there are nearly 100,000 or so troops on the way to gather, such as your army!"
Du Chen said in surprise: "Then with the Sigru Legion that is already on the battlefield, and the other five major legions, the total number of troops used by Lanning this time is probably more than one million! With so many troops mobilized in more than a month, how can Bargena still say that he is not well prepared?"
Potter was busy sketching on the dossier with a sour plum in his mouth, and when he heard this, he said: "Big fool, the total population of Lanning is as high as 60 million, and it is naturally not difficult to mobilize a million troops! Insufficient preparation does not refer to troops, but logistical supplies! This is the biggest problem!"
Swallowing the sour plum, the army of fingers stretched, "In terms of bread, a strong soldier needs more than a pound of flour to fill his stomach with a meal! Then you calculate how much a million people eat in a day? How much food is needed for a war that lasts for a long time!"
As the two were talking, the city gate suddenly opened, and a group of knights galloped out, and when they came closer, a fat aristocratic old man jumped off his horse, "Oh, Your Excellency Francis is finally here! Welcome, welcome, I am the general liaison officer of the Second Route Army appointed by Marshal Angels, Zack......" He flicked his left shoulder, on which were two crossed golden dagger patterns. “...... Lieutenant General!"
After speaking, Zach looked at Du Chen with a smile.
Du Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Zack, may God Du Chen bless you!"
Zach laughed even louder, "Please come inside, Marshal Angels is not at ease with our improvised Second Route Army, and is personally sitting in Tuku City, and is now waiting for you inside!"
Angels is here too!?
Du Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he followed Zach into Tuku City.
The supreme command post of the Second Route Army is the highest fortress in the city, and there are no less than 100 generals of various legions in it, and they are all very polite after seeing Du Chen, and when they come to the door of the command post, Zach goes in to report, and after a while, the guards shout, "The marshal summons Francis!" This guard is Anjies's personal soldier, let Du Chen in, and he suddenly stopped Potter and Bone Removal and others who were following behind.
"Marshal's military tent, generals below the brigadier general are not allowed to enter!"
Du Chen's expression changed, and he already snorted coldly: "I am the leader of the Du Chen God Sect, not a Lanning soldier!"
The guards lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other, but still shouted: "Marshal's military order, if the Brooke Sect Master visits the Marshal with the position of the Divine Sect, please wait for the Marshal to summon his subordinate Francis, and personally go out to greet the Sect Master!"
Du Chen gestured to the bones, and was just about to speak, when the guard shouted again: "Marshal's military order, there is already a treaty between the Holy Religion and various countries, and people who hold both political and religious positions participate in the war, and the teaching position is temporarily suspended during the war, if Francis wants to visit the marshal as a god cult, please first repair the book and tell Your Majesty that you will withdraw from this war, and then go to the living room to wait for the marshal to greet the oracle with the courtesy!"
Otherwise, Francis will be a general under the marshal's account, and he will carry out the orders according to the marshal's orders, and if he disobeys, the Judge Advocate General's Office will deal with it!"
The guards shouted loudly three times, so that everyone's eyes were focused on Du Chen!
Bone Gouging Horizontal Eyebrows sneered, Du Chen gritted his teeth, Anjies, you dare not even give the face of the Holy Sect, you are fucking ruthless!
Potter came to Du Chen's side in broken steps, Du Chen waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say anything, and suddenly smiled, "Marshal Angels is fighting for the country, and commanding a million army at this moment is even more respectable, I, Francis, am here to serve the country, and Brooke Sect Master is also here to bless the soldiers on behalf of Du Chen, not here to show off his identity!" He smiled loudly, "Francis obeys! Potter, Ariza, you are waiting for me here!"
Striding into the command room, Angels's command post was very simple, only a map on the wall, a few cabinets, tables and chairs on the four walls, Generalissimo Lanning was looking at the map, waiting for Du Chen!
There was no one else in the command post!
Entering the door, Du Chen's face immediately became gloomy, and when he saw Angels turning his back to him, he snorted!
Anjes was indifferent to Du Chen's cold snort, looked at the map for a long time, and then said lightly without looking back: "When you enter the barracks, you must look like a soldier! Lord Francis, this is the last time I will call you a lord! From now on, you will be assigned to the field division under the Fourth Corps of the Second Route Army, and you will command the strength of your two wings to form the second brigade of the field division! And your military rank is a first-class soldier, do you understand!"
Du Chen yawned and lazily bowed his hand, "Obey, Lord Marshal!"
"After the war mobilization order is issued, the armies of the major lords must arrive in Tuku City within a month, Francis, if your army dares to be late and delay the warplane, be careful of military law!"
"Understood, what else does the marshal command!?"
"The Holy Religion has a treaty with all countries, and it is not allowed to participate in national war disputes, and your Du Chen God Sect is subordinate to the Holy Religion, if you don't want to be blamed by all countries in the world, let me mention that Du Chen God in the military camp! Here, there are only soldiers!"
Du Chen raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Marshal, any soldier has the right to believe in God, and the Brooke Sect Master adheres to the teachings of the God Cult and treats the wounded in his private capacity, and will never go to the battlefield to participate in the battle! The Holy Sect has already issued a notice on this matter, so you don't have to worry about the accusations of various countries! In addition, please respect Du Chen! Otherwise, I have the right to accuse you to the Inquisition! The brilliance of Du Chen's God is everywhere, and you will soon know!"
Angels sneered, "If you have the ability, you can accuse me!"
Du Chen shrugged his shoulders, "Sitting on a million troops!
"Francis, pay attention to your military appearance and military discipline, now you are a soldier!"
"I know, I'll go back and practice, Lord Marshal, you know, I'm a ragtag army!" Du Chen said in a weird way, and said, "Then my ...... Oh, what is the current mission of the Second Brigade?
......
