CHAPTER 57: SHOW TIME
When twilight fell, the double moon above the dark cloud orc forest was obscured, but at the edge of the orc forest, there was a fire in the sky, and the human body was boiling.
"Report to the chief, it has been confirmed that all three teams have lost news, it should be that something happened to us, and our follow-up troops have not found any necromantic creatures. The commander of the vanguard of the new coalition was half-kneeling on the ground with a cold sweat on his face, his head pressed very low.
Three real attack and reconnaissance troops were sent at one time, but after less than an hour, these three troops lost news one after another, these 1,500 people are elite troops in the real sense, even if it is an encounter, they will not be beaten and there is no chance to send a signal, what kind of level has the army of the Orc Empire reached, so that these 1,500 people can disappear silently?
"Three elite troops, fifteen hundred people......" The emaciated commander shook his head with pity and said, "Is there anything unusual about the camp of the vanguard team?"
"This ...... Nothing happened, and no orcs were even found around. The commander of the vanguard raised his head and said with an affirmative expression.
"Then ......" The commander-in-chief was just about to speak, when a mercenary in charge of sentry ran in from outside, and shouted anxiously: "The deputy commander is not good, our ten-person team went out to patrol, and it has not come back yet, it is estimated that it was blocked by the orcs." Interrupted in the middle of his sentence, the commander-in-chief did not show anger and asked, "How long has this team not heard from us?"
"Oh no, deputy commander, we have found laxatives in our horses, about two hundred mounts cannot be ridden for a short time, we are looking after them, and we have not found anyone who did it. β
"Report to the commander-in-chief, two sentries on the arrow tower at the entrance of the camp were attacked and died of poisoned arrows. β
"Report to the sir, the rear of the camp does not know when multiple traps appeared, and the patrol team had three wounded and one killed. β
"Report to the High Priest that there are traces of orcs on the left side of the camp, and the two guards in charge of chasing have not returned yet, and it is estimated that it has been unexpected. β
Report ......
Report ......
β......β
As if the news had been agreed, it was reported at the same time, and the commander-in-chief's face became more and more gloomy with the news coming in, and the adjutant next to him recorded the reported casualties, and when no one reported the news, the adjutant also calculated the total number of casualties.
"Deputy Commander, one hundred and twenty-one people were killed and thirty-six wounded. The adjutant's face also became cold, and now the situation is already very serious, although it has just arrived for a day, but this kind of boundless casualty is a naked slap in the face!
"Counting the previous fifteen hundred, it should be more than sixteen hundred?" said the commander-in-chief with a sneer after hearing this, the adjutant nodded, and at the same time squinted at the priest behind the commander-in-chief.
In the report just now, the hundred guards brought by this high priest also lost one-tenth, and the guards of the high priest are all first-level martial gods, even in an ordinary mercenary group, it is something to be proud of to have a martial god powerhouse, and this time it is a major loss to lose the close mission guards.
If the inexplicable mass death of the soldiers under the coalition army is a slap in the face, then the high priest's loss of these guards is a ruthless big mouth, and it is both positive and negative!
In fact, when the high priest first reported the casualties of the guards, the high priest was already covered with frost, and by the time the results were obtained, the high priest's face was already red, although he did not speak, but he could also see that he was already angry.
The high priest has a noble status, but he is only a provincial sacrifice, and the high-level guards in the temple have been brought by him.
"What a despicable orc!" the high priest spat out these words after holding back for a long time, and after the commander-in-chief stared at him coldly, he snorted coldly, turned around and waved his hand to push the soldiers standing in the tent out, and then issued an order.
"Before and after the big camp, send additional patrol teams, a group of 50 people, about a mile away from the big camp, patrol every 50 breaths, change the password every 100 breaths, and ...... at all times."
Woo...... Woo...... Woo......
The low horn sounded suddenly, and everyone in the tent was startled, and the commander-in-chief asked with a cold face, "What's the matter?"
Night Raid!
Those two words came to everyone's mind, but then everyone felt that it was impossible, and that the orcs would also launch a night attack?
The commander's capable and cold voice came from the tent, "Listen to my orders, all of them will not move!"
What the?
"Listen to my orders, all of them don't move! The captains stabilized the emotions of their respective teams, this is the harassment of the other party, don't care!" After speaking, the commander-in-chief sat down in his position with a calm face, stared at Yigan and said to his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze, carry out the order!"
A cadre of subordinates came to their senses, hurriedly except for the tent, found that there were already signs of chaos in the camp, many mercenaries had rushed out with weapons in disheveled clothes, and many mercenaries were shouting, each captain immediately found their own team and gathered it away.
Soon, the mood of the team in the camp returned to stability, and at this time, the sound of the horn still did not stop, but the expected night attack did not appear, and it seemed that the horn sound also sensed that the human coalition had regained stability, and then stopped.
When the horn stopped, the fist that the commander-in-chief had been clenching behind his back slowly loosened, but then it clenched even tighter, and the adjutant saw everything in his eyes and didn't know what was going on, but it was certainly not a trivial matter.
"Have you ever caught a beast?" the commander-in-chief asked the adjutant with a sudden sigh.
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "They are all mercenary backgrounds, why haven't they ever caught a beast, even if they are hungry, they have to fight a wild ......" The commander-in-chief waved his hand and interrupted the adjutant's words and said: "Needless to say, small beasts, let's talk about large beasts, generally one or several people can't catch beasts, except for crowd tactics, how do you capture them?"
"This ...... If we really want to catch a beast, we will find a way to keep it awake until ...... Deputy Chief, what do you mean ......"
The commander-in-chief nodded and said, "Yes, so, we missed an opportunity!" After speaking, he sighed and said, "It's my fault, I was too cautious and lost first." β
"What do you mean by missed an opportunity?" the adjutant simply didn't understand why the deputy head of the regiment would say what the opportunity was.
"Actually, to the Orc Empire, or rather, to the enemies in front of us, we are beasts, and they are here to keep us awake all the time, and then wait until we are tired to give us a fatal blow, what do you say they are harassing us like this?"
"Because...... They don't have enough troops, so let's exhaust our army first?"
"That's right, the enemy in front of us is not strong enough now, no, it should be said that we didn't have enough troops on the first day of our arrival, I was too cautious, if I attack directly, at least there will be some results, and I won't lose the lives of so many mercenaries in vain. After speaking, the commander's face changed and said: "Combining the true and the false, the real and the false, ordered, transfer 20,000 soldiers, 10,000 per team, and guard the camp at night before and after, if there is really a night attack, these 10,000 people can also have a buffer." β
"Yes, understood!" said the adjutant and came out of the tent.
The commander looked at the empty tent and sighed again and said, "I really didn't expect that the military literacy of the Orc Empire has been raised to this height, which is really embarrassing. β
The front-line command of the Orc Forest.
Hua Mian looked at the battle report in his hand, handed it to Tushan casually and said: "The opponent reacts quite quickly, and he already has a way to deal with it." β
After passing on the battle report, Tushan nodded and said: "Yes, their vanguard has shrunk, but I have to say that the efficiency of human beings is quite high, in just one day, all the flowers and trees within a radius of two miles have been cut down......
"There should be some small shows for them tonight, and hopefully tomorrow, our troops will arrive on time. After speaking, Hua Yan looked at the staff officer in charge of troop dispatch again, and the staff officer hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, sir, our troops will definitely arrive tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, I see, you all go down and rest! In addition, the news here will be transmitted to the rear in time, and the information must be kept unobstructed, understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
In the second half of the night, inside the palace of the Orc Empire.
Rien looked at the battle report in his hand, smiled lightly and said to Alf, "You should know your tribe's Arqi, right?" Alf nodded, "Do you know, in the first half of today, the front-line troops have captured more than a thousand humans, and the casualties are about a thousand. β
"I really didn't expect that if you hadn't left him alive at that time, the Orc Empire would have lost a great commander. Alf said this with a maturity that did not belong to his age, without pretentiousness.
Ryan shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me, he has obtained it through his own hard work, this is the real fact, understand? Have you remembered the human body structure now?" Alf nodded hesitantly to indicate that he had memorized it.
Nodding approvingly, Ryan was really surprised by Alf's talent, after the jousting conference, Alf was called to the palace to be taught by Ryan himself, in just a few days, Alf's performance has made all the royal doctors in the palace stunned, and they all praised him as a once-in-a-century genius.
"Okay, I learned a lot of things today, you go back and study more, don't be too anxious, you can't reach it quickly, understand?"
"God has made your Excellency, I understand. Alf stood up and saluted, and Ryan waved his hand to stop him and said, "Go back and rest early." β
Seeing Alf gently close the door, Ryan's face showed a smug smile, and a language suddenly came out of his mouth that no one understood.
