Chapter 142: A Hundred Years of Preparation, the Investigation Team Arrives
"The Orc Army's plans for the North have been prepared since the last war, and they have been very clear about the terrain of the Eternal Frost Mountains."
"The original point of attack was a special trail three hundred kilometers west of the Eternal Frost Broken Vein, and it was planned to use this passage to send a surprise army to the territory of the empire to disrupt the northern border."
"But with the breakthrough of the dark power's research, we finally put the target of the attack on Qingyuan Ridge, and you should already know this reason, mainly with the help of elemental leylines, which can be used as a frontline hatching point, coupled with the topography of Qingyuan Ridge, we only need to be surrounded by the Eternal Frost Mountain Range on both sides, and the direction of attack and defense is also extremely single."
Sitting in his chair, Goodern listened intently to the orc's original plan.
"For this war, the orcs have been preparing for nearly a hundred years, and all the wars and conflicts that have occurred during this period have been prepared for this war."
"Nearly 100 years of preparation?" Goodern couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear that it was so long.
"Yes, for this preparation, His Majesty the Beastmaster has laid out for almost a hundred years, even if it is just a plan to invade and attack Qingyuan Town, it is all instructed by His Majesty the Beastmaster, and it is personally led and commanded by the sixteenth prince Hadri, and I have been here with Hadri for six years."
Hearing that the other party had already been lurking six years ago and had begun to prepare for an invasion war couldn't help but make him gasp slightly.
On the surface, he still had to maintain a little calm, and then suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Regarding the death of the emperor's eldest prince in the attack, you also planned this incident, right?"
Speaking of this, Servis shook his head.
"No, I'm not in charge of this part, but I learned from my fellow clans that it's because the Imperial Grand Prince discovered an important plan of the orcs, and in order not to expose the plan itself, I can only sacrifice a group of my fellow clans to kill each other and prevent the news from spreading."
"And it is precisely because of this that the speed of the war has been raised for three months, and the original plan was to break through the northwest of the northern border without declaring war when the snow melts in the early spring of next year, and when it is completely occupied, it will be controlled and occupied, which will be a breakthrough on the side of the front line, so that the imperial forces will not be able to estimate the border of thousands of miles."
After listening to the explanation, Goodern was a little surprised, although he did not have any talent for war, but a simple analysis could still do it.
The orcs chose to provoke the empire into war during the winter months, which undoubtedly made it more difficult for the orcs to attack.
After all, according to the original plan of the orcs, the success rate of a sudden surprise attack will be much higher.
And now that the empire is fully prepared, if it comes to fighting another war now, it will inevitably fall into an endless battle, which is obviously unreasonable.
"Let's talk about the news about the deployment of troops to attack Qingyuan Ridge."
Exhaling slightly, Goodern motioned for Servis to continue.
"I don't know the exact number of attacking troops, but in addition to the more than 10,000 scout troops arriving one after another, the follow-up arrangements are all prepared with more than 100,000 monthly rations, according to my calculations, the number of troops in the first batch to attack the northwest of the northern border will not be less than 100,000, and finally with other deployments, it can be above."
Hearing this answer, even Gooden, who was already prepared in his heart, couldn't help but curse secretly.
Fuck, is it necessary, it's just a weak border, and it's going to send so many people?
But after thinking about it, so many people didn't come to his Qingyuan Town, but to various regions in the northwest of the northern border.
But judging from the current situation, the sudden rise of Qingyuan Town, if the orc army wants to bypass him, then it will inevitably have to give up the elemental leylines.
But the so-called strategic location, how could the orc side give up? Therefore, a big war is inevitable.
After listening to Servis's relays in a casual way, Goodern had a general idea of what the orcs were going to do next.
Then the conversation turned to Servis.
"I have an arrangement for the military department to raise people
to avoid being taken away, and then you need to listen carefully..."
Gooden simply relayed his plan to the other party.
"It's probably as simple as that, you can give the information, and you can get out, but the biggest problem is how do you hide."
"There are two transcendents in Qingyuan Town, plus if the military department wants to take you away, there must be transcendents who will accompany you, your hidden pressure will be very great, I don't know your specific strength, do you think you can avoid this difficulty?"
Faced with Goodern's arrangement, Servis bowed his head slightly and thought for a while before giving an affirmative answer.
"If you can recover half of your strength, there will be no problem in dodging and hiding."
"How long will it take?"
"A quarter of a month."
The Carved Moon is a unit of time for the Orcs, which translates to about ten minutes when converted to the time that Goodern is familiar with.
This time is not long, Gooden calculated slightly in his heart.
"This time is no problem, with the effect of prison, the shielding breath can be done, and you can even recover some more strength, but when you escape, you must pretend to accidentally trigger the alert and let people chase you."
"No problem."
After explaining his plan, Goodern left the dungeon.
As for Servis after letting go of his freedom, Gooden is no longer worried that the other party will attack him, but he is not sure whether he will take this opportunity to escape back to the orc empire.
But as things stand, the probability of this happening is extremely low.
For the power-hungry Servis, he has now lost the blessing and help of the dark power, and if he wants to rely on the dark power to break through again, it will not only take a long time to refine, but also be eroded by the dark power all the time.
Servis, who had been tortured for decades, should have been very disgusted with this feeling, and it was impossible to go back to his own hardships, so returning to him and seeking an opportunity to break through the legend was his only option.
⋯⋯
In the afternoon of the same day, the Imperial Investigation Team, which had been passing through thousands of miles of snow, arrived outside Qingyuan Town.
"Are you sure this is Qingyuan Town? And not the other city next door?"
Taylor looked at the massive wall with a hint of wonder in his eyes.
As a small town, it has the same level of wall protection as the city, and this contrast in the name surprised him.
"Back to General, this is indeed Qingyuan Town, and I have also traveled this road a few times, so it is impossible to make a mistake."
Reynas, who was beside Taylor, responded respectfully to the other man's words.
Renus looked at the town, his eyes were full of emotion, since he was suspended from his post, the first mission he took back was to Qingyuan Town, and the mission took a special target back to the military headquarters.
Since the last incident, Renus has loved and hated Qingyuan Town.
Love is Qingyuan Town that allowed him to survive the incident, and hate is also because after surviving he was not only suspended, but also subjected to an unwarranted investigation.
For such a place, Renas still has a lot of feelings in his heart, after all, the last group annihilation incident is still vivid.
However, there is an extraordinary general in the team that came this time, and with such high-level security, it is impossible to have another accident, right?
When Taylor heard such a reply, he was a little emotional for a while, and then ordered everyone to continue to move forward and enter Qingyuan Town.
The convoy of more than ten people had already attracted the attention of the soldiers defending the city, and after some understanding and dialogue, they learned that it was sent by the emperor's department, and there were official documents, so the soldiers defending the city did not delay any longer and immediately reported to the lord.
Gooden, who got the news, immediately came to receive him.
In the meeting room, several important members of the investigation team were sitting.
"Lord Goodern, it's been a long time, I would like to introduce to you, this is General Taylor of the Emperor's *** Department, and he is also the first person in charge of this team."
Reynas acted as an intermediary, greeting Goodern and introducing the people on his side
Member.
Goodern looked at Taylor's panel, and as he expected, was indeed a transcendent, professional warrior.
Facing the thought imperial general, Gooden still respected him, and nodded slightly.
"General Taylor, you've had to run around for this assembly."
"It's okay, Lord Goodern, this news of yours is important to the Empire, where are the captured orcs now, can you take me to meet them?"
As a soldier, Taylor didn't have too many pleasantries, and directly asked to meet Seves.
Gooden, who was ready, naturally agreed, and when he took Taylor to the dungeon, Helisa, who was forced to pull him in, reluctantly followed him.
After all, she has an officially certified title, and her strength is enough, so it's okay to pull in to help block unnecessary trouble.
In the dungeon, Servis, who was once again imprisoned in mid-air, looked at the group in front of him, and his eyes regained indifference.
Looking at the ban that imprisoned Servis, a hint of surprise flashed in Taylor's eyes, this is not like something that the transcendent can arrange.
Coupled with all kinds of imprisoned props, is this really something that a lord or a teacher from the Royal Academy of Magic can take?
Seeing the other party's doubts, Gooden explained to everyone in advance.
"It was an accident that he was caught, Heflos's Divine Light Warlock Morse happened to be resting in Qingyuan Town, and it was he who helped capture Servis."
"Morse, the Divine Light Warlock? The youngest genius to step into a legend?"
Hearing Morse's name, Taylor asked with some surprise.
"Well, yes, but after capturing Servis, this lord has something to leave, but it is inconvenient to take him with him, so I left him with me and set up a ban to trap him."
Hearing about Servis's arrest, Taylor looked at the other party with some pity in his eyes.
But this is a top priority for their empire......
Slightly tilted his head to look at the people beside him, motioning for them to come forward to check their identities, while Taylor also exuded his strength to verify Servis's identity.
