77 Intelligence

Early the next morning, Marlowe led a few of his subordinates straight to the city lord's mansion, and because Gandalf was at the door to greet them, they entered the courtyard without too much inspection by the guards.

Because they knew that they could get the information today, several people in Mecca couldn't sleep well last night, and they tossed and turned all night waiting for dawn.

There were five people sitting in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion arguing about something, and when they saw Marlowe and them enter, they immediately stood up.

The five men were Paul, Paul's captain of the guard and commander of the recruit battalion, James, the lieutenant of the city defense, Montgomery, and two veterans he had seen on the city walls. Everyone didn't say much to each other, except for Paul and James, who were still more enthusiastic, the other three just said hello as usual, and everyone sat down and began to get into the main topic of the day.

James hung up the map, revealing a topographical map of the entire province of Victor, as well as a large map of the grasslands bordering Victor Province.

However, in addition to the map, Paul also pulled out a thick stack of intelligence documents.

"Everything you want is here. ”

Mecca was not polite, and was the first to rush up to look through the intelligence documents, but after turning a few pages in a row, he was dumbfounded, although he could speak human language, he had not learned human words, and he could only scratch blind when he looked at the crooked patterns.

Scratching his head, he handed the document to Rejay, who shook his head and said he couldn't understand it, the same was true of Rajim and Rumba, where did the native-born steppe orcs learn these things.

The only thing to do is to read the documents, and since he was a child, he has lived and studied in Twin Springs Castle, but he is no stranger to human writing, not only human writing, but he has also learned elven writing, dwarven writing and orc writing.

There were so many documents that Marlowe could only spend more than half an hour roughly browsing the key points marked in red ink, which Paul made overnight last night, which saved everyone a lot of time.

After watching Marlowe turn the last page, Paul said, "I can only mark what I think is important, and I can only do that for the time being." ”

Marlowe nodded in understanding, it was a big project to read so much information carefully, Paul had saved himself too much energy and time, at least he now had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the Battle of Winter.

"Thank you, my good brother. ”

"We are brothers, and this is what should be done. Paul waved his hand to signal that there was no need to say anything between them, and then he spoke to the four anxious tribesmen. "I know you can't read human words, but that's okay, James has studied this information carefully, so I'll let him tell you about it, and if you have any questions, you can ask them immediately. James, let's get started. ”

"Yes, sir. James gave a military salute.

Because the two sides had fought together in the Eagle's Beak Pass, and the Mecca had helped him teach the self-righteous recruits, the paladin was more friendly to the tribesmen, he picked up a slender wooden stick and stood next to the map, and then pointed to the map and said to the Marlowe people: "Everyone knows each other, so I won't introduce myself anymore, and now I'll talk about the current situation directly." ”

"As in previous years, the orcs are still stationed on a large scale at the junction of the steppe and the province of Victor, and the number of people analyzed by the scouts should be between 950,000 and 1,100,000, and a small number of small tribes have entered our territory as the vanguard, and in the direction of their advance, as in the direction of last year, Gondolin, Lorraine, Cuvir, Tiren, Tyrian, Naxrond, Famedos, these seven major cities, and the southernmost Swan Harbor, are the main targets of their reconnaissance......"

James first explained the general situation, but the Rajims didn't care about that, they just wanted to know where their people were.

"James, can you tell me where our people are now?" Mecca couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sorry, this can't be judged, according to the information you provided, the former Bloodblade Tribe and the White Hoof Tribe only sent three hundred and two hundred people respectively to participate in the Cold Winter War, the number is too small and the scale is too small to accurately judge their location. James just said a lot, all of which reflected how well human intelligence work is done, so it seems a little embarrassing to be unable to answer Mecca's question at this moment.

General Montgomery and the other two warriors had serious expressions on their faces, but they were even more cold at this time, and they both felt that Mecca was finding fault.

"I'll tell you. Seeing that Montgomery was about to blow his hair, Paul took the stick from James' hand and said. "Your two tribes have relatively few people, so we analyze that they should be among these vanguards. ”

Glancing at several of his subordinates, seeing Montgomery shut his mouth, Paul said again: "Because the orc population in the steppe tribe accounts for more than 70 percent, so there are many small orc tribes, and it is not possible to determine whether the orcs of the Bloodblade tribe are among these vanguard troops for the time being, but the whitehoof tribe may be easier to find, you see......"

Pointing out several locations in Victor Province on a map with a stick, Paul continued: "Our scouts have found traces of Minotaur activity in all four places, probably between three hundred and five hundred in size, and if they are lucky, the Whitehoof tribe should be in one of these locations. ”

Ray Jack's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he might soon be able to find his brother and father. Because the White Hoof tribe only selected some people to participate in this war this year, Lei Jie was drawn to the task of staying in the tribe, so he separated from his brother and father, and when he heard the news, his heart was a little excited.

"Your Highness Paul, can we go to them now?"

"It's up to you chiefs to make arrangements. Paul threw the question to Marlowe.

Feeling Lei Jie's burning gaze, Marlowe thought for a moment and said: "At present, it can only be like this, since the location of the Blood Blade Tribe cannot be determined, then find the people of the White Hoof Tribe first, maybe they know the whereabouts of the people of the Blood Blade Tribe." Paul, can you help?"

"Of course, it will be provided, whether it is mounts, food, or personnel to provide protection, this is an order from His Majesty the King. In order not to make Montgomery too resistant, Paul moved his father out, and of course the king's edict had been shown to the general two days before. "When are we leaving?"

"What us?"
