Chapter 34 The General's Spirit
Red Rock City, the camp of the Blizzard Legion.
The young general, dressed in military uniform, sat on a tall handsome chair with his eyes slightly closed.
Huey stood quietly behind him with his chin slightly raised.
A lieutenant in front of the chair read aloud a military intelligence message: "The former military city is urgent, the orcs have been attacking the city for ten consecutive days, and the mammoth war beasts and orc warriors have all participated in the battle a few days ago, and more than half of the casualties in the city have been killed. All the soldiers and civilians in the city are mobilized, and it is expected that they can defend the city for seven days, if there are no reinforcements, on the day the city is broken, all the soldiers of the former army will fight to the death until the last man. Former Army Commander Joshua Monsley. ”
The young general raised his eyelids, "How is the battle situation between the left army and the right army?"
"Although the left and right armies were also surrounded, the orcs did not seem to have done their best to attack the city, but only pushed up some cannon fodder, and the two armies have not consumed much so far. ”
"The old prince has already reported the front-line military situation to His Majesty the King a few days ago, and asked the guards of various towns in the northern inland region to go to the front line to support, what is the status of the reinforcements now?"
The lieutenant pondered for a while, and said after considering his words: "The guards of the inland towns have been unprepared for a long time, and after receiving the order from the military headquarters, the departure date is different, and the distance from our Hongyan City is also different, and it is estimated that the first batch of reinforcements will arrive in ten days, and it will be eight or nine out of ten within half a month. ”
The young general snorted coldly, and a thick murderous aura leaked out of him, "Pass on our military order, reinforcements from all over the country must rush to Hongyan City within seven days, and lead the generals to fight for thirty times a day every night, and if they exceed three days, they will be directly dealt with according to the military law of delayed military aircraft." ”
The lieutenant bowed down and received the order, and immediately went down to give the order.
"Reply to Joshua and tell him to hold out for another five days, and after five days I will personally lead the heavy cavalry of the legion to meet them out of the city!"
Several generals on the left and right sides of the handsome chair stepped forward in unison, "The deputy corps commander doesn't have to take the risk himself, we can lead the army to relieve the siege of the former military city." ”
The young general stood up suddenly, with a murderous sneer on his face, "Danger? I haven't moved my muscles and bones for too long, I'm afraid these newly grown orc cubs don't know who Keno is?"
This person was Arthur's recommender, Marquis Keno Patrick.
Seeing that it was ineffective to dissuade the deputy commander of Kino, an officer stepped forward and boldly suggested: "This time the orcs are coming, and my Wind and Snow Legion has been rushing to the front line. The Frost Thunder Legion and our Wind and Snow Legion guarded the northern border of the kingdom together, but they did not use a single soldier to participate in the battle. Could you please send one or two armies of the Frost Thunder Legion to the battle to solve the current crisis on the battlefield? ”
Kino snorted contemptuously, "Frost Thunder, the guys who didn't plant it, I'm afraid they don't remember what the battlefield is like for a long time, so let them obediently guard the Sigh Canyon." ”
After Keno finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Huey, "You can go to the battlefield with me this time, and I will take you to experience what it means to fight on the battlefield." ”
Huey's eyes instantly burst with a sharp brilliance.
.....
At the same moment, ten miles outside the sigh canyon, the camp of the Frost Thunder Legion.
The white-bearded Grand Duke of Palmer sat on top of the tent, and a general with a helmet and armor lined up on either side of the tent.
Among the high-ranking officers of the Frost Thunder Legion, there was only the last person on the left, dressed in a cyan scribe's uniform, and his face was slightly pale, it was Shino Howells.
"My father recently received a report on the front-line military situation, and the Wind and Snow Legion has been in a tight battle recently. The Orc invasion is not the same as before, and it is likely to be another war between the two races. I summoned all the generals here to hear what the generals think, how should we fight the Frost Thunder Legion next?" said the Grand Duke slowly.
"Father, although Wind, Snow and Frost and Thunder are guarding the northern border of the kingdom together, the tasks of the two armies are different. Now His Majesty has not issued an order, and the Wind and Snow Legion has not taken the initiative to ask for help, so it is still not appropriate for my Frost Thunder Legion to move temporarily. The top priority at the moment is to strengthen vigilance, one is to guard against changes in the Valley of Sighs, and the other is to guard against the orcs from sneaking up on our army, so as to respond to all changes without change. The person who spoke was the closest person to the left of the Grand Duke's hand, none other than Archduke Palmer's second son, Lieutenant Commander Palmer.
After Edmund finished speaking, the Grand Duke only nodded slightly, and did not express an opinion.
A young general in the middle of the right side of the Grand Duke stepped out of the column and said proudly: "Grand Duke, the Wind and Snow Legion has always been suspicious of my frost and thunder because of what happened back then, especially after that kid Kino has gained power in recent years, he doesn't take us seriously, and this time he just borrowed the hand of the orcs to kill his sharp spirit." When the Blizzard Legion and the Orcs are defeated, we will send troops to clean up the mess, wouldn't it be a double win. ”
Although this man was fully armoured, his skin was fair, the corners of his eyes were hanging, and his feminine aura was better than that of a general, and he was Ciro Palmer, the nephew of the Grand Duke.
The Grand Duke still did not speak, but frowned.
After that, several generals came out one after another, probably not much different from Aemond and Ciro.
During the whole process, Archduke Palmer did not say a word, but his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Shino, tell me what you think. Grand Duke Palmer suddenly called Shino's name.
Shino stood up with a smile on his face, "I agree with the two sons of Aemond and Ciro. Since the orcs didn't take the initiative to fight, we don't need to ask for trouble, and the deaths and injuries of the Wind and Snow Legion and the people have nothing to do with us, as long as the generals and the soldiers below have no losses, why don't we watch the show on the sidelines?"
The meaning of Shino's words was indeed the same as that of the previous generals, but it sounded so harsh.
The truth was so harsh, and Shino said what they thought in their hearts but didn't dare to say it directly in front of everyone.
Grand Duke Palmer looked at Shino with a smirk, "So you have other ideas?"
"I don't have any ideas, I just heard some rumors out there?"
"What rumors?"
Shino sighed softly, "It is rumored that the Palmer family lacks nothing, so it lacks a little bit of a man's blood. ”
Shino had already felt embarrassed when he spoke before, and when this sentence came out again, everyone in the account turned red.
Grand Duke Palmer laughed, laughed and slapped the table, "Listen, how many generals and soldiers in my Frost Thunder Legion have been ridiculed by a scribe who has broken the meridians for not having the courage. ”
Aemond stood up with a flushed face, "Father, my Frost Thunder Legion is not afraid of battle, but chooses the right time to fight. ”
"Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, the king uses my frost and thunder army to defend the land and the people, the border has been lost, and the people have been destroyed, even if the time you wait for is up, what is the use of you?" Shino slammed Aemond back.
Aemond was angry and blurted out, "Courage without strategy is the courage of a horseman, and Sino himself has no ability to go to war, so he will only speak out here without shame." ”
Grand Duke Palmer's gaze suddenly fixed on Shino, "Shino, did you hear what Aemond said, do you have the courage to go to battle?"
Sino solemnly gave a military salute, "If the Grand Duke gives Shino a person, I will take a person to the battlefield, if I give me a regiment, I will bring a regiment to the battlefield, if I give me an army, I will bring an army to the battlefield!"
Grand Duke Palmer slapped the table again, "Okay, then I'll give you an army, and you can beat me out the blood of the Frost Thunder Legion!"
Aemond suddenly realized that something seemed wrong......
