Chapter 66: The Audience
The current army is relying on these seven fortresses to fight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If the Orc attack is too violent, the army will retreat, allowing the Orcs to enter the fortified area of the Bastion, killing and wounding most of the Orcs under the overwhelming rain of arrows from the Bastion, and then the army will charge again, driving the Orcs back to the north shore of the Prancing Horse.
Towards noon, the orc attack finally stopped, and the scattered orcs retreated to the north bank of the Prancing Horse River. In this encounter, tens of thousands of corpses were left on the battlefield.
For the disposal of these corpses, it is impossible to dig a pit and bury them deeply, the weather is too cold, the land is frozen, and it is really impossible to dig down. The bodies of the Terran soldiers were transported to the rear of the battalion, where they were taken over by the fat viscount and cremated.
The corpses of the orcs were thrown directly into the turbulent river and rushed downstream. Cooper believes that there are definitely more than 100,000 corpses thrown into the river, and so many corpses will rush all the way down the river into the sea, and eventually the stomachs of the fish and shrimp in the sea will become the graves of these orcs.
Just as the battle was nearing the end, Sun Gang and his party came to the Yuema River.
The leading officers were first introduced into the battalion. Looking at Sharp's holy decree, Cooper was puzzled, what does this mean? Crown Prince Xia Lei personally came to the battlefield to deprive himself of his military power?
This is not like ah, the other party did not enter the camp at all, but camped at the rear of the camp, on a low hillside. In any case, as the prince of the principality, he will also go to visit him. Is the other party going to do it at that time and take down himself?
The nickname of the White Horse Silver Spear has not been heard for many years, and as the commander of a group army, Cooper no longer needs to rely on personal bravery to prove himself. But the strength of the seventh level is not something to be underestimated wherever you go.
Always take some precautions, urgently gather his subordinates, select a hundred of the best guards in the pro-military camp, and lead these close generals, Cooper came to the gate of this small camp.
The guards in front of him, at first glance, were the specialties of the imperial capital, wearing the most luxurious armor and having the best appearance, and even Cooper believed that these people had the best equestrian skills.
But these people went to the battlefield, and they definitely couldn't withstand the charge of the orcs, and for this matter, Cooper dared to bet ten gold coins. This group of people, in the Western Army, has a special title, called "the noble lord from the imperial capital." ”
Cooper dismounted early in the morning and walked with a few generals to the camp gate. "Stop, what are you doing?" the soldier shouted was very unceremonious.
The pro-soldiers under his command are naturally not convinced, and the position of Cooper here is the sky, and even in the eyes of some soldiers, the one in the imperial capital is not as good as the marshal in front of him.
"Bold, this is the commander of the Western Army, Marshal Cooper, why don't you hurry back?"
Cooper turned his head and reprimanded his own soldiers, "You talk a lot." ”
"This little brother, as soon as I reported the trouble, I said that Cooper was outside the camp gate and asked to see Prince Xia Lei. ”
For Cooper's identity, the soldiers guarding the door do not dare to be embarrassed, Cooper has an excellent reputation in the military world, and is the military god of the empire.
"It turns out that the marshal has arrived, please wait, and the little one will go back. ”
This way, Xia Lei was respectful to the four people in front of him, and even the youngest Zhuoma, Xia Lei was also worshiped as his mother.
is about to enter the threshold of forty years old, and Xia Lei has also begun to deal with the government of some principalities in the principality. Enough to know what to do and what not to do.
The golden thighs in front of him, no matter which one crooked his mouth in front of his father, his position was worrying. Especially when Sharp explained the identities of Sun Gang and others in detail, Xia Lei couldn't wait to kneel in front of several people every day.
The past few days along the way have definitely been Xia Lei's most dedicated days, from daily diet, drinking water, to daily accommodation. As for the servants who served, Xia Lei had to lecture every day, in a word, and do everything he could to satisfy these people, especially the Lord of Doom.
After the guards passed the news that Cooper arrived, Xia Lei still gave some face and stood at the door to greet him. For the first person in the military of the principality, even the prince also wants to win over such a force.
The future prince and the marshal of the empire embraced. Of course, if you don't delve into the real thoughts in his heart, just looking at the appearance, Xia Lei's sincere hug, and the tears on Cooper's cheeks are enough to show the harmony and intimacy of this pair of monarchs and ministers.
The two sides sat down, and after listening to Xia Lei's explanation, Cooper still couldn't believe his ears after a long time. What? Is there a god intervening? Is it expected that the war will end soon?
The heritage of the principality for more than a thousand years is indeed not something that can be guessed by oneself, although Cooper has a half-believing attitude, but whether it is the emperor who is far away in the principality, or the prince in front of him, he is not a mediocre person, and there are so many ministers in the principality, it is impossible to go crazy together.
Cooper's euphemistic request to see these supreme beings was rebuffed. Xia Lei's arrangement for Cooper is to return to the barracks, strictly guard against the attack of the beasts during this period of time, give a few adults a few days, and the form in front of him will be resolved.
"But marshal, is there really a god who would intervene in mortal battles? ”
"Well, I can't figure it out. But the prince has traveled a thousand miles to get here, so he won't just joke with us. Since it has been said. Let's just wait."
"If there are gods who can make a move, then why are we still fighting for life and death? Why didn't the gods make a move earlier?"
"Mouthy. This is the end of this matter, and from now on no one is allowed to discuss it, and if I hear any rumors, military law will serve. ”
"Yes, Marshal. ”
On the way back, Cooper gag several of the generals he had met with. Such a thing cannot be talked about, and it is very easy to cause fluctuations in the morale of the military, and no one can say anything about it until the dust has settled.
Mo Xu's plan is to visit the orc barracks once, meet the kings of the orc tribes, and see what the other party thinks.
Mo Xu, as a god of the light camp, cannot make a move on mortals. This is a covenant of the gods and cannot be broken. As a god, it is permissible to negotiate or even make covenants with worldly kings.
Mo Xu's idea is to talk about it first, see the other party's requirements, and find a solution through negotiation, which is the best.
If he can't, then as a bright god promoted by an archmage, he will do his best to change the geography of the west and completely separate the wild continent of the orcs from the tulip principality, Mo Xu estimates that he can still do it.
