Chapter 51: The Siege of the Mountains
Unbeknownst to them, Goodern and his party continued to move towards the position where the ball of light rose.
Suddenly, there was a strange birdsong in front of them, which made everyone who was advancing hurriedly stop and be on guard.
"Ahem...... My lord, this is our identification order, please reply: Flamingo, or they will attack immediately. ”
Armed with a spear, the wounded Imperial soldier hurriedly handed the password to Goodern.
Following the other party's prompts, Goodern asked Els to shout out the identification password.
"Flamingo!"
After receiving the order to reply, the imperial soldiers who had evacuated after the break were the first to show up.
But after carefully checking the outfits of Goodern and his party, he became vigilant again after discovering that it was not his own.
"Who are you? Why is it here? ”
"I'm Lord Qingyuan, Gooden, and your team escorted me a few days ago."
Goodern took a slow step forward, putting his identity on the surface.
Asked the soldier if he knew Goodern's face, glanced at it and quickly saluted.
"Your Lord!"
"The situation is critical, how is Captain Dedallow doing now?"
Goodern spoke quickly, then motioned for the group to move on.
"Captain Dedallow is in front, I'll take you." The Imperial soldiers did not hesitate, and directly led Gooden to the large army along the mark.
It was said to be a large army, but by the time Goodern met Captain Dedarlo, there were only about twenty soldiers left.
The number of cavalry of Captain Dedalo before had reached more than thirty people, and it seems that the casualties were not small after the cordon.
"Lord Goodern? Why are you here? ”
When he saw Goodern, Dedalo was a little puzzled, this place should be more than thirty kilometers away from Qingyuan Town, right?
Can the other party see their illuminated scrolls? And still arrived here in such a short time?
"I have a mine nearby, and I just brought a group of people to mine minerals today, and when I saw the situation here, I brought people to check it out."
Goodern briefly explained the reason, and when he heard that there were reinforcements, Dedallow hurriedly asked.
"My lord, how many people have you brought with you?"
Looking at the other party's excited expression, Gooden smiled bitterly.
"I didn't bring too many guards with me this time, and now they're all here, counting me eleven people."
Hearing this, Dedalo couldn't help but shake his head, and his expression turned serious.
"Your Excellency, this is dangerous, an orc force has invaded here."
"I was only ordered to investigate their tracks, but I didn't expect them to want to annihilate us."
"Now while the other party hasn't discovered you yet, I'll send a group of people to cover your evacuation."
Dedallow said, pulling out a letter from his waist and handing it to Goodern.
"This is a top-secret military information, please send it to Jinyuan City immediately after escaping, I believe that the city lord will definitely reward you for this information."
Looking at the letter in Dedarlo's hand, Goodwin shook his head slightly.
"I'm afraid it's too late, I was already attacked by a group of demon monkeys when I came, and it may be difficult to retreat out now."
Hearing this, Dedallow's serious face furrowed again.
looked at Goodern's group, there seemed to be no traces of fighting, and couldn't help but ask.
"You, did you really meet the demon monkey?"
Listening to the questioning tone, Goodern was not angry.
"I don't know where you got your orc intelligence from, but some time ago, I was attacked by an orc team."
"If it weren't for the rescue, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have bones left now."
"And this time I came here to investigate and exterminate the orcs, if you need to evacuate, I can help cover the broken queen."
Gooden's words shocked Dedalo and his party, although these Imperial soldiers were not elite, they also had a lot of pressure when fighting against orc troops.
A lord with ten private soldiers said that he wanted to exterminate the orc army?
Shaking his head in disbelief, Dedalo spoke in a sincere tone.
"Your Excellency, this is not a joke, I really need to send this secret letter out."
"Even if the other party finds you, but the other party's target is me, I will try to give you time to evacuate......
As the two of them spoke, they kept hurrying forward, and as soon as the words fell, they could already faintly see the mountain that was ready to be defended from the light provided by the light ball in the air.
"Forget it, Captain De Dalo, we can't get anything from arguing like this."
"Advanced mountain defense, if the situation is bad, I will lead people to evacuate, and promise to hand over this letter to the city lord of Jinyuan City, what do you think?"
"Okay." Dedalo also nodded directly in agreement, and there was really no objection to the current quarrel.
If Goodern really has the confidence and confidence to 'exterminate' these orcs, as he said, his 'faith' will inevitably be used in the battle.
Otherwise, he would have to force someone to take Goodern......
However, I don't know if it's an illusion, Dedalo found that after the round with Goodern, the orc sneak attack he encountered was inexplicably reduced and disappeared.
After arriving in the mountains, the group quickly burrowed into the deep mountains and climbed a low mountain to prepare for defense.
Although the people on the road were no longer disturbed by sneak attacks, the number of orcs chasing behind them did not decrease, but had a faint tendency to increase.
As a high-ranking knight, Dedalo was still able to barely capture the orcs' movement path in this dim and complex jungle.
But looking at the 'endless' rush of orcs, the expression on Dedarlo's face became more and more gloomy.
This amount...... I'm afraid it's already over a hundred, and he, including Goodern and his party, is only in his early thirties.
If there are construction fortifications to defend, there is no problem in carrying it for three or five days.
But now in the wilderness, not to mention that the other party has launched an attack, it is just to surround them like this, and if they are trapped for three days, they will have to rest on their side.
Break out now?
The orcs, as natural jungle hunters, launched a breakthrough at night, which was simply lighting a lamp in a pit - looking for death.
Dedallo's only hope now is the mine where Goodern came, hoping that they will soon find out that their lord is missing, and report to the city of Jinyuan to send rescuers.
In Goodern's case, on the other hand, Dedalo was sadly contemplating his next plan, but he was in the heat of constructing a simple fortification.
Since the two sides belong to different lines of command, the soldiers of Goodern and Dedarlow do their own jobs.
However, Goodern's party is still relatively backward, and it can be regarded as Dedallow's secret care.
At this time, Goodern chose a higher rock group, where you can see the entire foothills of the approach, which is a very advantageous position for shooting.
"Come, unload all the bullet belts, Els, you take charge of a team to help the soldiers forward."
"There is one team left to protect me on both sides and behind me, and if there is a suspected target, it will directly alert me."
"Yes!"
With a simple tactical set-up, Goodern began to count the remaining ammunition.
For this battle, he had made thousands of different rounds of ammunition, including a hundred manganese steel armor-piercing bullets alone.
The remaining 70 percent are iron bullets, and the rest are all hollow anti-personnel bullets.
Looking at the orc figures that kept flashing at the foot of the mountain, Goodern cursed in a low voice.
"His grandmother's orcs, today depends on whether there are more of you or Lao Tzu's bullets......"
