When Dewey and Lockhart went out of town together, he didn't have any retinue with him. He didn't tell the generals in the city about this, but quietly told Gargamel, asked him to bring the Wyvern warship, made an appointment, and was ready to meet at any time on the south side of the fortress.

As for Du Wei himself, he didn't bring a single guard, so he went out of Yajin City with Lockhart, ready to go to the north, and went to the meeting alone.

"My lord......" Lockhart followed Du Wei's side, and the elderly relatives looked worried: "I still think that you are too risky to do this! After all, you are the commander of the army, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops here, all the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the entire eastern front, all the heavy responsibilities are maintained by you alone!"

Du Wei smiled slightly and glanced at Lockhart: "Don't worry, Lockhart." You've also been there for a while in the falling snow. You should know a little bit about this guy as well. And I'm ...... I've dealt with him a lot more than you do! This guy is extremely proud. Although it is our enemy, I have to admit that it is indeed a guy who walks the talk. ”

Lockhart thought about it, and couldn't help but say, "But, my lord, even if that's the case, you...... You should bring some guards with you, too. ”

"Guards?" Du Wei sneered: "Since you are going to the enemy's lair, it is useless to bring as many people as you want." If you bring less, even if there is really an accident, it will not be useful. Bring a lot...... Am I going to take tens of thousands of people with me? That's not going to an appointment, it's going to war? ”

There is still a word in his heart that he didn't say: with his current strength, the guards who followed him in Pingrì, to tell the truth. There is not much to protect yourself anymore. If something really happens, you are alone, and you can run away, and those ordinary guards will become a burden.

The two went all the way out of the city, and Du Wei left alone. I didn't tell the generals in the city.

Outside the city, the wolf cavalry was still waiting far away, when Du Wei and Rohart came out of the city. When they arrived in front of them, this group of wolf cavalry immediately stood up, and those wolf cavalrymen all stared coldly at Du Wei with green eyes, and their eyes were full of undisguised hostility, as if they would pounce on Du Wei at any time and tear Du Wei apart.

Du Wei stood under the look of the wolves, smiled leisurely, and glanced at Lockhart: "This is the first time I have seen a wolf cavalry." I have heard of the name for a long time. Sure enough, it's very strong. ”

Lockhart was in the enemy camp. I can barely speak two sentences of jīng Lingdi language, but the pronunciation of jīng Lingdi language is very different from that of humans, and many pronunciations Rohart can't do it, but a few simple words can still barely be spoken, and I can barely do it in words.

At that moment, he took two steps, tried to protect Du Wei with his body, and said a few words to the leader of this group of wolf cavalry, the leader of the wolf cavalry. It was the tallest one in this team of wolf riders, and although the ground armor on his body was also pure black sè iron armor like other similar ones, Du Wei looked closely, and there were a few more silver-white sè carvings on the handle of its long knife, and there were also two more pieces of iron on the helmet that looked like leaves.

The captain of the wolf cavalry looked at Du Wei carefully. Then he snorted coldly. Then he turned his head and said something to the other companions. Although Du Wei couldn't understand their language, after these few words, the eyes of those wolf cavalry looking at Du Wei were different, and they seemed to have a faint taste of contempt and disdain.

Du Wei glanced at Lockhart, who smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "My lord, they speak the language of the wolf clan, I don't understand." I can only barely speak a little jīng ling's language. ”

Subsequently, Lockhart also explained: Among the army of the sin people, because the wolf clan and the jīng spirit clan have the closest relationship, many wolf clans can speak the language of jīng spirit, but other orcs are not necessarily.

Du Wei went on the road with these wolf cavalry. He was just dressed in a simple robe and cloak, lined with soft armor, and rode a high-quality black sè horse selected from the northwest - but although this horse was unusually tall and strong, it was a rare good horse, but after all, such a horse, surrounded by wolves, was also a little frightened, if it weren't for Du Wei's cāo empty horse and riding skills that he had practiced in the northwest for many years, I am afraid that this horse would have been frightened and galloped wildly. Twenty wolf cavalry surrounded Du Wei and Rohart, and when Rohart came, he walked all the way, and when he returned, Du Wei gave him a horse. The two of them rode in two, surrounded by so many giant wolves around, all the way north. Lockhart also refused to fall into his majesty, and tried to learn from Du Wei to control the horses well, but he was mostly learning flying skills in the northwest, but equestrianism was not out of style, and after walking for a while, the horses under his crotch could not bear the fear, and suddenly neighed, and his body kept struggling, and he ran away. Desperately pulling the reins to no avail, Rohart was able to appease the horse, and at last the horse was lifted from the horse, and the horse immediately spread its hooves and galloped away.

The wolf cavalry around them saw it and laughed loudly, and these guys laughed sharply, like a wolf howl, and that kind of smugness and disdain suddenly made Lockhart's face flush with anger.

Du Wei saw it in his eyes, dismounted and picked up Lockhart, and said lightly: "What are you angry with a bunch of brutes?" Get up, don't call these guys flat. ”

He put Rohatra on his horse, and the two rode together, and then they barely continued on their way.

Along the way, the wolf cavalry around them laughed wildly, although they couldn't understand their words, but they all meant some contempt and ridicule.

It wasn't until evening, after walking twenty or thirty miles, that I stopped to rest beside a loose forest. Du Wei tied his horse to the trunk of the tree, let the horse eat grass on its own, poor that horse, the mounts of the wolf cavalry around, those giant wolves, seemed to treat it as a delicious prey, there were constantly giant wolves whispering and howling at it to intimidate, and some giant wolves approached quietly, if it wasn't for the wolf cavalry to stop, they would have pounced on it and tore it to pieces.

The wolf cavalry also seemed to be deliberately letting their mounts intimidate Du Wei. Just didn't let the giant wolf really pounce, but it went around and around, and finally frightened Du Wei's horse and shook his body.

Du Wei saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and strode over to the horse. With both arms firm, he pressed the horse down to his knees and stroked the horse's neck with one hand. But he quietly put the tearlight crystal pendant in his mouth and under his tongue, and then glanced at the surrounding wolves, deliberately used enough breath in his mouth, and "hummed" fiercely!

This humming sound was suddenly like a dragon's groan, although the sound was not loud, but there was naturally a strong dragon power in it!

The giant wolves around them who were still grinning with their teeth. Listen to the voice. Suddenly, one by one shouted, some fled backwards on the spot, and some were so frightened that their hind hooves clamped their tails and trembled and whimpered.

Du Wei deliberately laughed, the sound was like a dragon's roar, and the howl spread far away, and he couldn't help but those giant wolves, even those wolf knights, all of them had a great change in their faces, and they even showed a trace of fear. I couldn't stand this kind of dragon oppression, so I couldn't help but pull out my long knife and stare at Du Wei nervously.

The captain of the wolf cavalry immediately shouted, jumped over, and shouted a few words to his companions. This made his companion put away his knife. It itself glared coldly at Du Wei and muttered twice. With a wave of his hand, he let his companions scatter and gathered away his mount, the giant wolf, but he was finally restrained and no longer allowed his mount to intimidate Du Wei's horses.

Du Wei then sat down, took out the dry food from the horse's baggage and shared it with Lockhart, but at the same time carefully observed the wolf cavalry.

Wolf Cavalry ...... The first time Du Wei went to the northern front, it was also the first time he saw this kind of legendary ground army. When he was in Dìdū before, he had read many battle reports that described the strong arms of this kind of criminals. The wolf cavalry's fighting power has made mankind suffer a lot.

First of all, in the case of field warfare, the human cavalry faced the wolf cavalry, and always lost more and won less. Even if you win occasionally, it's when your opponent is outnumbered.

In the eyes of others, they only saw the horror of the wolf cavalry, but in Du Wei's opinion, they thought differently.

The terrifying thing about the wolf cavalry is their mounts!

Indeed, the wolf rider itself also has a strong fighting force, this kind of wolf clan earth beast has an outstanding physique, similar to the body shape of humans, but more brute strength, cunning and cruelty and other characteristics. However, in terms of the quality of the cavalry itself, the human jīng sharp cavalry, which has undergone rigorous training, may not lose to the orcs of the wolf clan.

But the reason why the human cavalry always suffers is that the opponent's mounts are too profitable. Human horses can only serve the only purpose of "carrying" when fighting. However, the giant wolf on which the wolf cavalry rode could attack the enemy with the knight during battle. These wolves are not just cavalry mounts, they also have terrible roars, fanged blood spurts, sharp claws, great strength, and amazing jumping ability. When fighting, wolf cavalry often attacks the enemy with weapons, and the mounts will also flutter and jump, helping the knight to dodge enemy attacks, and can also use their claws and sharp teeth to bite the enemy.

In the battle reports that Du Wei saw, there were reports from the human cavalry that survived the battle with the wolf cavalry: When fighting against this kind of enemy, even if the human jīng sharp cavalry can fight on par with the opponent's wolf cavalry, but the opponent's mount can also pounce and bite, under the same circumstances, it is equivalent to the opponent's battle has more than doubled!

Many of the human cavalry who died in battle did not die under the blades of the opposing wolf's riders, but under the bite of these giant wolves. What's more, these giant wolves directly attacked their war horses and lost.

After reading many battle reports, Du Wei was not only shocked by the combat effectiveness of this wolf horse, but also thought about it...... If......

What if humans could build such a special class of troops?

Hmph, I can even domesticate a griffin, can't I domesticate something like a giant wolf?

If the human Jīng cavalry rode on such a giant wolf to fight, wouldn't the combat power be more than doubled immediately?

Sitting under the tree and watching those wolf cavalry rest, many wolf riders took out dried meat and other things from their baggage, not only eating them themselves, but also feeding their mount giant wolf with their own hands. Some wolf cavalry even took out their own water bladders to drink with their mounts!

Look at these wolf rides, although they are cruel, but when they take care of their mounts. But it exudes a very intimate gesture.

Although human cavalry also attaches great importance to war horses, and some cavalrymen regard war horses as close comrades-in-arms, few cavalrymen will drink and eat with war horses.

Even Du Wei saw that some of the wolf cavalry were lying with the giant wolf when they were resting. There are also places to tickle giant wolves, tickle each other, and even some wolves ride. Whispering in the ears of the giant wolf, as if talking something......

All this surprised Du Wei very much.

After a while, Du Wei called out in a low voice, "Lockhart." ”

"Your Excellency. Lockhart immediately responded.

"You...... How much do you know about these wolf rides?" Du Wei looked at the young man.

Lockhart thought for a moment: "I probably have some understanding. When I was in the enemy camp, King Luoxue never seemed to hide anything from me, even if it was something important about the military plane. It's also very vocal about me. ”

Du Wei's eyes were fixed on the wolf riders. faintly shining: "You say...... Is it possible for us to get one of these giant wolves to be domesticated and become the mounts of our cavalry? To be honest, I have carefully studied the battle reports of these wolf cavalry, and their strength does not lie in these wolf cavalry warriors, but mainly in these powerful mounts. ”

After hearing this, Lockhart really lowered his head and thought about it seriously, but then. He shook his head resolutely: "My lord, I don't think it's possible. ”

"Why?" Du Wei was a little disappointed: "Even if it is a wild beast, it is not without a way to domesticate. ”

"I see what you mean. Lockhart also looked at the wolf riders in the distance, but whispered, "But, my lord." Maybe you don't know. These giant wolves...... They're not beasts! they're orcs!"

"What?" Du Wei was a little surprised.

"Yes. They are not simply beasts or mounts. I'm in the enemy camp, and I have some knowledge of the situation of the wolf clan......"

Subsequently. Lockhart lowered his voice and told everything he knew:

These giant wolves of the wolf clan are not like human war horses, they are domesticated beasts.

The situation of the wolf clan is very special: under normal circumstances, when the wolf clan is reproducing, an adult wolf orc girl can give birth to four or five litters in her lifetime. However, it is probably because this race is born with a defect or some special genetic factor of the race. Among these four or five descendants of the wolf clan, there will always be at least one litter, and a special offspring will appear: this kind of offspring does not look like a normal "orc" at all, but more like their ancient ancestor: the wolf!

This particular child, from the moment it was born, lacked intelligence, and was almost like a wild wolf in both shape and mind, except that it was larger, more brutal, and more aggressive. Such a special offspring, even after reaching adulthood, still maintains the level of intelligence in the infancy of ordinary wolf orcs, and can no longer grow.

This special descendant, among the orcs, has a special name, called "beast relatives". These beasts and other orcs were also born of the same mother, but they were not "human" in size and intelligence.

“...... My lord, look at these wolf cavalry, they are extremely affectionate and very good at their mounts, not only because the cavalry in the ordinary sense cherishes war horses, but the actual reason is that these mounts are all their own brothers born to one mother! The reason why the wolf cavalry is so powerful is that they and the mounts can almost have the same mind, even if they are human cavalry, their riding skills cannot beat them. It's just because these guys are fighting on their own brothers! It's not domesticated, it's something that can't be described in words...... When fighting, these giant wolves will swear to protect the cavalry on their backs and protect their own brothers. This kind of intimacy cannot be achieved by domestication. ”

After Lockhart finished speaking, Du Wei looked depressed, looked at the wolf riders deeply, and finally sighed helplessly.

That's the case...... It seems that it is really unlikely!

At this time, looking at the wolf cavalry who fed their mounts with dried meat and took turns drinking water with the same water bladder and mounts, Du Wei suddenly felt a faint pity in his heart.

Looking at Du Wei without saying a word, Lockhart thought that Du Wei was disappointed in his heart, and was about to comfort him, but Du Wei suddenly smiled, his expression was very relaxed: "Okay, since that's the case, forget it." But...... Rest assured, I'm not discouraged. ”

After a pause, Du Wei patted Lockhart on the shoulder: "I learned about the power of the wolf cavalry early on, so wanting to domesticate this kind of thing is just one of my ideas." But since you think about the problem, you can't just drill the horns of the bull and hang yourself on a tree. Here's what I can tell you...... Hmph, I've also prepared another backhand! I've already had a special cavalry in the northwestern city of Gilliat, although I can't form too many for the time being. However, judging from the combat effectiveness, I am confident that I will never be weaker than these wolf riders!"

Lockhart looked at Du Wei and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, but this Duke has always been good at creating all kinds of miracles, and this time, I don't know what tricks he has played.

The wolf cavalry was extremely strong, and only rested in this woods for an hour, and did not spend the night here, and continued to travel all night.

The next day, near noon, we finally arrived at the fallen fortress at the front of the Eastern Front.

The second time Du Wei came here, from a distance, the southern end of the city wall was still full of fireworks, as if he had led the Slytherin griffin knights to attack in the first place, and after setting fire everywhere, the enemy did not make great efforts to repair the wall afterwards.

This surprised Du Wei.

Because, such an important fortress has fallen into the hands of the criminals, and it is reasonable and reasonable that they should also step up the reinforcement and repair of the southern city wall, and be ready for battle!

But now it seems that there are still many places on the southern wall that have been scorched by the fire, and there are some places where the wall has been damaged during the battle and has not been repaired.

Even...... On the city wall, there were not enough combat equipment, any rolling nails, stones, etc., as if there were not many of them.

Don't...... Aren't the sinners worried that after they gather a large army in the south, they will counterattack?!

When he got closer, Du Wei was surprised to find that many orcs were busy under the city walls...... They were not busy digging trenches or carrying stones to strengthen the walls.

I saw that those strong orcs were running back and forth, putting sandbags and straw bags one by one, sticking them to the other party's row under the city wall, and some wood and hay......

There were even some wooden barrels, and those barrels, which Du Wei recognized at a glance, were the remnants of the defeat of mankind.

Kerosene!!

Du Wei wondered in his heart, what are these guys doing with so many things that ignite fire and pile them up under the walls of the fortress?!

Just as he was frowning, far away, in the city gate, a figure, with a silver sè jīng spirit clan armor, without an entourage by his side, just stood there, under the sun, its figure seemed to be glowing......

The familiar clear and pleasant voice came, still with the calm and elegant tone of memory......

"Duke Tulip, Du Wei, long time no see. ”
