Chapter 238: Terrible Hunger
At dusk, in the corner of the island.
In a small ravine between two hills, Black Horse House was frowning and waving a long wooden pole. The slender wooden pole, which was seven or eight meters high, had some colorful strips of cloth tied to its head, and with his swing, a palm-sized iron-winged pigeon quickly flew down and obediently stopped on the shoulder of the black horse house.
The pigeon flapped its wings lightly on the shoulders of the black horse house, and it had a delicate pigeon whistle tied to its toes, and it was only when he heard the sound of the pigeon whistle that the black horse house began to shake the signal pole. When the pigeon landed on his shoulder, the black horsehouse rudely threw away the signal pole, grabbed the little pigeon, and untied a small metal cylinder from its toes.
"Strange, is there anything that needs to be used for emergency communications? Doesn't it mean that the military top brass will not interfere in the process of actual combat exercises?"
Throwing the pigeon out, Dark Horsehouse pulled out a very thin piece of parchment that was tightly rolled up inside the metal tube. Arthur and several other core members of the Knights of the Round Table came together. Curiously looked at the parchment.
"The gods are above!" and when they saw the warning written in the simplest of words, the group gasped. A total of 267 cadets of the Iron Cavalry and the Red Rose Knights were slaughtered by the orc mercenary group? Not even a single one escaped? This downright bad news was like a bucket of ice water splashed on the hearts of Black Horse House and the others, and they all had goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Annihilation!How strong are those orcs?" said Dark Horse House, frowning.
Then a sentence at the end of the parchment made his mood even worse: a certain participating team had already inflicted heavy damage on the orc mercenary group, and only about one hundred and sixty or seventy orcs had escaped. But the injured orcs are the most terrible orcs, so all participating teams are asked to be careful and vigilant not to let the orcs succeed again.
Crumpling the parchment to shreds, Dark Horse House sneered.
"Who else but us can defeat those orcs?" Shaking his head, Dark Horse House looked at Arthur with confidence: "It must be that the Iron Knights and the Red Rose Knights fought with the orcs, and then were picked up by a lucky team." But it doesn't matter, as long as we capture the camp in the middle of the battlefield, we will be victorious.
patted Arthur the shoulder, and Black Horse House said loudly: "As long as I can win the first place, your credit, the Pavel family and Lord Bea will not forget it." His Highness Maris has promised that if you can help me get first place, you will be rewarded, and he will personally intervene to find you a good place among the local garrisons in the province of Yasan. ”
Arthur smiled humbly, and he clapped his hands gently, echoing the words of the talented Black Horse House. He also thought that the defeat of the five hundred orcs was just a fluke, at least in the team composed of these students on the island, except for the Knights of the Round Table of the Dark Horse House, no team had such strength.
Arthur's mood was also relaxed, and the people he brought with him were all good hands left by his father, and they were all veteran pirate leaders who had broken through in the bloody storm. Especially Uncle Seahorse, who is a real heavenly master to deal with these rookies of the Army Academy, is it not an easy matter?
As for Lin Qi......
Arthur sneered, several people around Lin Qi were the elite of the Black Tiger family, and he knew those people. Especially Barr and Aunt Lily, how could Arthur not know them? one was the chief steward of all the cooks and maids of the Black Tiger family, and the other was the chief leader of all the scoundrels in the docklands of the Duner Sect, but Arthur knew nothing more about them.
Baal and Aunt Lily are at most at the pinnacle of their strength, which is the result of some divine detection by the dead ghost El Hamtong Guò. Arthur had never seen Barr and Aunt Lily make a move, so he trusted Elham's judgment. Two pinnacles of status could not be better than one celestial Arthur firmly believed this. Even Uncle Seahorse, the pirate leader next to Arthur, only knows about Blackbeard's thug boss Hammer and Butcher Knife, both of which are first-class fierce and vicious, and Seahorse is definitely not their opponent. But Bal, who has been sitting in the Dun'er Quayside all year round, Seahorse has no impression of him, and he is certainly not Haiwu's opponent.
"House, there's nothing to worry about, you're sure to win!" Patting Dark Horse House on the shoulder, Arthur's face became gloomy: "The only thing worth worrying about now is that our logistics are not very sufficient, and we need to win in the shortest possible time." Otherwise, our monsters won't have enough to eat, and this will be a big trouble!"
Yes, the problem of baggage supply.
Dark Horse House used the power of the family to force Van Link to become the captain of the transport team, in addition to the fact that the members of the Knights of the Round Table were indeed greedy for enjoyment and wanted to relieve their logistical pressure as much as possible, the more important reason was that they brought twenty demonic beasts to the battle.
Arthur's ten-person foreign aid group has ten monsters with a large amount of food, especially Arthur's earth gold row, this huge guy is extremely strong in combat, and its food is also extremely strong, there are no hundreds of catties of meat every day, and it can't fill its body consumption at all.
The corresponding Black Horse House's mount, the Fire Thrower, is also a large rice bucket, which not only eats a large amount of fresh meat every day, but also drinks a lot of spirits.
For example, more than half of the large quantities of supplies transported by Van Lin were prepared for these magical beasts. On this desert island, if these monsters don't have enough food, once they have a beastly attack, will they have to feed them with the meat of Black Horse House and Arthur? Even if they are willing to give up this body of flesh and skin, their small body is not enough for a monster to chew.
"Yes, logistics!" Dark Horse House frowned solemnly, and vigorously stroked the beard slag that had grown from his upper lip. "The instructor said that the most important thing in war is logistics. We have a strong herd of monsters, but they also put a lot of logistical pressure on us. Arthur, we must take the initiative and solve the battle as best we can!"
Arthur volunteered: "Those fanged wolves are the best scouts, and they are also the best night raiders. Tonight, we can find a few targets, completely destroy their camp, force them to surrender, or ......"
Dark Horse House laughed, in order to be able to move up the first rank after joining the army, it was also very pleasing to take out a group of competitors. He took Arthur's hand, and the two of them walked hand in hand to the kitchen in the camp, where someone brought the fragrant roasted meat and a bottle of wine.
Eating barbecue and drinking fine wine, Dark Horse House and Arthur felt extremely happy. Tonight's raid will be a success, because they have meat to eat and wine to drink. Think of the students who are nibbling on cold rice balls, and it's good that they can keep their basic body up.
"The topic of logistics must be the top priority after I join the regular army in the future. Black Horse House swallowed his dinner in a big gulp, and said vaguely: "Fortunately, this time there are Fanlin and they help transport the baggage, otherwise where would we have enough military rations now?"
Arthur's face was very ugly: "It's just that the group of wastes in Van Lin are too incompetent, and they were actually robbed of most of their supplies!"
Black Horse House's face also turned pale, and he said in a sloppy manner: "Since he didn't fulfill my request, then I won't fulfill my promise." Hmph, when he joins the army, I'll have His Highness Maris send him to the death squad, and let him fight the most vicious orc raiders, you incompetent waste!"
The two terrifying men cursed Van Lin and the Blood Sword Regiment he led, and at the same time, the members of the Knights of the Round Table, except for the sentries and scouts who had been scattered, returned to the barracks. Everyone was given a fragrant piece of roast meat and a small bottle of wine, which made everyone cheer and eat and drink to their heart's content.
Twenty demonic beasts lazily lay in the shade of the trees and gnawed on a large pile of fresh meat, and the nine-headed fanged wolf raised its head vigilantly from time to time, its long ears trembled violently, listening to the movements around it from time to time. These monsters maintain the utmost vigilance even when they are eating, which is the main reason why Dark Horse House and Arthur are confident of victory.
A single fire lion can destroy a team of 1,000 people, which team can withstand the destruction of this group of demonic beasts?
Their target was not the cadets of the Army Academy at all, but the elite of the three hundred Imperial Capital Guards. These three hundred soldiers were well-armed, and they were all veterans of a hundred battles drawn from the Norman forts, and they were all extremely strong in their personal strength, and it was not easy to defeat them.
Dark Horse House smiled happily, and he smiled as he looked at the demonic beasts that were eating.
The elite of the three hundred battle guards is indeed difficult to deal with, but with these magical beasts, what enemies can't be dealt with?
After eating a portion of the barbecue, Black Horse Haus rubbed his belly, as if he was still a little hungry. He shook his head and smiled at Arthur, "It seems that when I get to the battlefield, I am very excited. This barbecue is good, let's have another one! The war really makes people full of blood, and even the amount of food has become a lot bigger!"
Arthur rubbed his stomach as well, and he laughed as well, reaching out for another roast.
Hungry, Arthur also felt hungry, as if the piece of barbecue had not been filled in his stomach at all. How can you be so hungry? Is it because you are on the battlefield, so you are nervous, and you are consuming too much, so the amount of food has become much larger?
Gradually, the members of the Knights of the Round Table came over and ate a piece of barbecue, but they were still hungry, so they came over to ask for an extra barbecue.
The Knights of the Round Table had sufficient logistical reserves, so Dark Horse House did not think so, and let the Firehead continue to barbecue a large amount of barbecue.
An hour later, all the rations of the Knights of the Round Table had been eaten, and the demonic beasts also walked towards this direction with their eyes wide open, and their eyes sprayed green light. Hunger, hunger, extreme hunger spread over the camp.
They're so hungry that they want to eat people!(To be continued)
