Chapter 320: On the eve of the final battle
"We should report the intelligence to the Frost Fortress in time." Locke said: "Maybe other legions have been attacked in the same way, and if we can gather the information, it may be helpful to get to the bottom of it." ”
"Makes sense!" Reiter nodded approvingly, looked at the legion commander and said, "Ledroth, why don't we give up that group of high-level orcs first, go back to the Frost Fortress and tell the commander what happened here." ”
"No problem, I'll go with you, maybe there will be an ambush on the road." Ledros's eyes flickered, and he replied earnestly.
A little more than a week later, the Frost Fortress.
In the hall on the first floor, Leyter, Locke, and Ledros reported the news to Deputy Commander Bomir, who listened to the report in its entirety, his eyes rolling left and right in his sockets, and he paced back and forth in the room in disbelief, his vision wandering. Half a minute later, he pressed his hands on Leiter's shoulders, looked at the other party intently, and asked:
"Reit, are you sure you're not the Sky Knight of the Cold Current? If... You feel the slightest familiarity, and please be sure to explain the situation to me. ”
Locktiret, who was on the side, replied:
"Rest assured, Sir Beaumir, I am more familiar with the situation of the Cold Snap Defense Line than Reit, and the person who ambushed us on the road is by no means our traitor!"
Bomir breathed a sigh of relief, as a deputy commander, when encountering this kind of thing, the first thing to consider is whether there is an internal problem. It is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, and ensuring that there are no spies inside is the key to resisting the enemy externally.
"Well, since that's the case, I'm relieved." Bomir's face softened, and he said, "I have written down the information you just provided, and when the commander-in-chief returns, I will immediately relay it to him." It's just that in the next few days, the orc's offensive may slow down, and you can also reduce the frequency of missions outside a little, but you must have training. ”
Ledros said loudly: "Received, please rest assured, Commander Bomir, if the orcs are not eliminated for a day, the Sixth Legion will not relax for a day!" ”
"Haha, okay, I believe everyone's morale and determination!"
Bomir patted the light armor on his body, encouraged him in a loud voice, and then made an excuse, saying that he still had important things to do, and politely asked Reiter and his party to leave.
"See you next time, Sir Bomir!" Leiter and his party waved their hands and left the door.
The hall on the first floor of the Frost Fortress was empty and silent again.
However, from the corner of the stairs on the second floor, a majestic figure appeared, it was the King of Milan, he was dressed in a fiery red robe, with his hands behind his back, walked to the hall and slowly paced to the edge of the sand table, glanced at the ice stream area, frowned, and said:
"It's a pity, if I continue to spy on Leiter, I can go to the scene and see where those three come from. But it doesn't matter, LTECH's identity does not need to be doubted, and there is no need for continued surveillance......"
Bomir turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the information reported by Reiter just now ......"
"I hear it all." The King of Milan said in a deep voice: "I already have some eyebrows about the origin of those three people, and in the next period of time, I will start to investigate this matter, and I will temporarily leave the cold current defense line, here... I'll leave it to you and Ankus. ”
"Understood!" Bomir said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion here, the orcs have died five holy areas at once, and the morale of the orc camp will inevitably be greatly reduced, should we take this opportunity to launch a general attack?" ”
Hearing this, the King of Milan looked hesitant, his eyes flickered, he pinched a pinch of quicksand from the sand table and held it in his palm, and he didn't make a choice for a long time.
In the end, he still let go of his hand, let the loose sand slide down the gap, and decisively said: "No need, there is no need for the Holy Domain on the orc side, but the reduction of five Holy Domains is far from the level of serious injury, and it can still provide timely support." And now that we are in the war with the orcs, it is suspected that a third-party force is intervening, and it is not suitable to fight to the death with the orcs at this time, so as not to let the dark forces pick up the advantage. ”
Hearing that there was a secret force intent on it, Bomir's heart tightened, and hidden worries flashed in his eyes, but when he heard that His Majesty the King would personally solve this matter, he took a deep breath, knowing that what he could do was to maintain the stability of the battle situation on this side of the Cold Current Defense Line, nodded vigorously and said: "I know what to do, and then I will balance the forces below, mobilize more scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and prevent accidents." ”
"I am relieved that you have been in a key position for many years and have a lot of experience." The King of Milan gave Bomir a deep look and said, "But there is no shortage of talent in our legion, and those who are capable should be reused, such as... Leiter and Locke, if there is a suitable time in the future, they will be promoted. ”
Bomir's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly lowered his head and responded: "Received, I will always pay attention to these two people." ”
More than two months later.
In a gravel-strewn valley, the stumps of orcs and humans were tossed everywhere, blood soaked every stone, and the smell of corpses, charcoal, and blood filled every inch of space.
At this time, the fierce battle on the battlefield has long ended, and only the screams of some orcs remain, proving that they are gone, and they have to be captured in the face of the harvest of human soldiers.
Mycroft sniffed the scent lightly, frowned slightly, raised the wand in his hand, condensed a large amount of wind elemental, and carried away the unpleasant smell around him. Then he looked at the hill ahead, and the quicksand swept halfway up the mountainside, enveloping more than two hundred remnants of pig-headed people, minotaurs, night cats, etc., while Tucker held a huge black bow and shot poisoned arrows one after another, taking away the orcs who were limited in their ability to move.
[Family members kill the enemy at the first level, fate value +1]
[Family members kill the enemy at the second order, fate value +1]
With Tucker's efforts to clean up the mess, Ray first gathered his troops, and then, standing at the front of more than 300 soldiers, watched Tucker pull the bow and string again and again, taking the lives of orcs one by one.
The light curtain also continued to appear in front of Leiter's eyes, and the fate value continued to rise, making the corners of his mouth unconsciously hook up a smile, and then called up the system, looked at the [fate value: 26311] column in the panel, and his thoughts began to fly unconsciously again......
"More than 10,000 fate points, it is estimated that I can break through to the peak of the Great Magus, but if I want to cross the threshold of the holy domain, how can the fate points consumed be measured in 10,000 units......"
"It's a little close, bear with it a little longer...... Whew......"
Reiter took a deep breath, turned to look at Lawrence, and said, "Lawrence, how long have we been out this time?" ”
"Sir, as of today, we've been out for sixteen days." Lawrence replied without thinking.
"Your talent has always been very good, I heard that you have cultivated to the peak of a third-level knight?" Rett smiled.
"Thank you for your concern, it's true, it reached its peak two months ago, and I'm ready to use the life and death trials on the orc battlefield to cross this bottleneck!"
Rett patted Lawrence on the shoulder: "Hahaha, I like this determination very much, I promise you, if you break through to the Earth Knight before the end of the war, I will take the initiative to say goodbye to you when I go back!" ”
Lawrence was stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst with surprise, and he said sonorously: "Thank you... No, thank you, sir! ”
"It's up to you," Reiter shook his head with a smile and looked back at the front, until Tucker had harvested the last orc and returned to the group, when he turned and said in a deep voice:
"The whole army obeys the order, drinks the beast wine, and prepares to return to the stronghold!"
"Yes, sir!"
Four days later.
Leiter led the troops back to the temporary stronghold of the Sixth Army, and when he walked along a sandy path along the way, he happened to see a small group of scouts coming towards him, and the leader was wearing a camouflage helmet.
"Deputy Legion Commander Leitt? You're finally back! ”
"Tyrus, is there something urgent going on?" Leiter looked at the scout in front of him in surprise and said, the other party looked a little anxious.
"It's not urgent, but you'll be happy to hear it!"
"What's the good news, please!" Reitt said with interest.
"Just three days ago, news came from the Cold Stream Camp that a spy planted by orcs in the human camp was uprooted by several Sanctuary Domains!" Tyrus said excitedly, "Sir Ret, are you curious about who that spy is?" ”
A flash flashed in Leiter's heart, it turned out to be this incident...... But he still blinked, pretending to be puzzled, "Who is it?" ”
"Sheman, of the Grey Lu Kingdom!"
The diminutive Tyrus looked up at Rett and said in an excited voice: "That's a Sacred Domain powerhouse who rose decades ago, I heard that he was captured alive this time, and then the king of the Gray Lu Kingdom personally rushed over and personally killed him in front of many people!" ”
"How can there be such a thing?" Rett seemed to be speechless in shock, and after a while, he let out a long sigh of relief, patted Tirus on the shoulder, and asked, "Last time I sent you to investigate near the Jackdaw Valley, did you find anything?" ”
Tyrus turned straight and responded: "I have been hiding there for more than half a month, and I have searched the surrounding area, and I have not found anything abnormal, if the only place that is considered unusual, it may be that there are no traces of orcs passing nearby during that half a month." ”
"Although it doesn't necessarily mean that there is a problem, but in the past, when I was on a mission, I could basically find that orcs were more or less shuttling through the battlefield, but this time it didn't, which should be considered an anomaly."
"It could also be a coincidence." Leiter frowned and nodded, and said, "I see, Tirus, you did a good job!" After going down, I will tell my colleagues that if I find a knight with a small number of people and a strange physical condition during future missions, I should report to me in time and avoid contact with them. ”
Spooky knights?
Tyrus looked puzzled and a little puzzled, but he answered anyway and replied, "Understood, sir! By the way, the Legion Commander has been looking for you for the past few days, and this time we were sent out to contact you as soon as possible, so you might as well meet Commander Lydros as soon as possible. ”
"I know, I'll go find him now!"
After saying that, Leiter disbanded the soldiers behind him, and ran all the way to the middle hill, entered the cave, and soon came to the hall, and saw Lessros next to the sand table.
"I heard you were looking for me?" Rett walked over and sat down on a stone bench on the carpet.
"Well, you've been out for more than half a month, and I don't know your whereabouts, I'm worried that something will happen to you." Ledros was wearing a green light leather armor today, he raised his head and straightened his back, and said, "Leiter, I know you're going to kill orcs, and your enthusiasm is higher than anyone else!" But I've heard that the orcs have been gathering forces lately, temporarily closing their lines back. Therefore, if you want to kill orcs, you must inevitably go behind enemy lines. It's a good thing you came back in time, otherwise I would have gone out to find you myself. ”
"Huh? What do the orcs do when they gather their forces? Reiter frowned and said, "Is it to retreat or launch a general attack?" ”
"The possibility of retreat is very small, and the commander-in-chief of Ankus said that the orcs have sent a new Sanctuary to sit in the town, indicating that the other party must intend to continue to hold on to the cold current defense line." Ledros pinched a chess piece in his finger and shook it slightly, and said, "So, there is a good chance that they will attack generally, and I have an order from the Frost Camp to also gather our troops and be ready to flank at any time." Once the signal comes again, it's time for us to flank! ”
"How many troops do we have outside?" Rett also looked solemn and paced back and forth in the room.
"There aren't many, just a few scouts and a few hundred soldiers left, and I've sent someone out to contact." Ledros said.
"Okay, then I'll stay in the stronghold for the next few days and don't go out."
As he spoke, Reiter paused and came to the edge of the sand table, the southeast area of the battlefield, where their stronghold was located.
Next, the two began to discuss the battlefield situation of the Cold Ray Defense Line, speculating on the various directions of the battle situation, the influencing factors, and the personnel and tactical arrangements when launching a flank attack, etc.
Until dark, the two were still discussing, but the frequency of their speeches was quite slow, and they would have new insights almost every few tens of minutes.
With the sound of hurried footsteps, a knight from the Cold Camp delivered a sealed letter.
The two of them carefully observed and confirmed that there was no possibility of impersonation or forgery, because the material of the letter paper was transformed by alchemy, and even if ordinary people got their hands on it, they did not know the viewing method or did not have the viewing conditions, and they were helpless.
Ledras quickly pulled out the letter paper, stimulated a crystalline fighting aura belonging to the Sky Knight, and slapped it on the letter, and the paper disappeared in an instant, but the strands of elemental light intertwined in the air, forming an arrow-like pattern.
The two looked in the same direction, their expressions were much more serious, and after glancing at each other, they nodded in unison and walked towards the outside of the cave together.
The two went their separate ways according to the plan they had agreed in advance in the afternoon. Ledrus went to the training ground to gather soldiers, and Leiter left the stronghold as soon as possible with the two hundred elites who had been waiting outside the cave for a long time.
At this time, the stars are dim, the moon has just climbed, and the clouds still have a clear outline in the sky. The cold snap lines in summer are a little less chilly than in winter, but the distinctive roar is endless.
