Chapter 311 The Eve of the Final Battle
"We should report the information to Frost Fortress in time." Locke said: "Maybe other legions have also been attacked in the same way. If we can gather the information, it may help to get to the bottom of it."
"That makes sense!" Leiter nodded in agreement, looked at the legion commander and said, "Ledros, why don't we give up on that group of high-ranking orcs first, and go back to Frost Fortress to tell the commander what happened here."
"No problem, I'll go there with you, maybe there will be an ambush on the road." Ledros replied earnestly with twinkling eyes.
More than a week later, Frost Fortress.
Leiter, Locke, and Ledros reported the news to Deputy Commander Bomir in the hall on the first floor. After the other party listened to the report completely, his eyes rolled left and right in his eye sockets, and he paced back and forth in the room in surprise. , the line of sight is erratic. Half a minute later, he put his hands on Leiter's shoulders, looked at Leiter intently and asked:
"Leite, are you sure you are not the Sky Knight of the Cold Current Defense Line? If...you feel the slightest familiarity, please also explain the situation to me."
Locketiret on the side replied:
"Sir Bomir, please rest assured, I am more familiar with the situation of the Hanliu defense line than Leiter, the people who ambushed us on the road are definitely not our traitors!"
Bomir heaved a sigh of relief. As the deputy commander, when encountering such a thing, the first thing to consider is whether there is an internal problem. It is easy to hide the open gun and difficult to defend against the hidden arrow. Ensuring that there are no spies inside is the key to fighting the enemy externally.
"Well, since that's the case, I'm relieved." Bomir said with a calm expression, "I've written down the information you just provided, and I'll tell the commander-in-chief immediately when he comes back. It's just that in the next few days, the orcs will The offensive may be slowed down, and you can also slightly reduce the frequency of performing missions outside, but there must be training."
Ledros said loudly: "Got it, please rest assured, Chief Bomir, if the orcs are not eliminated, the Sixth Legion will not relax for a day!"
"Haha, good, I believe in everyone's morale and determination!"
Bomir patted the light armor on his body, gave a few words of encouragement in a loud voice, and then made an excuse, saying that he still had something important to do, and politely invited Lei Te and his party away.
"Sir Bomir, see you next time!" Leiter and his party waved their hands and left the door.
The hall on the first floor of Frost Fortress was empty and silent again.
However, a majestic figure appeared from the corner of the stairs on the second floor. It was King Milan. He was wearing a fiery red dress robe with his hands behind his back. He walked to the hall and walked slowly to the edge of the sand table, and glanced at the icy stream. area, frowned and said:
"It's a pity, if I continue to spy on Lei Te, I will be able to visit the scene in person and see the origins of those three people. But it doesn't matter, there is no need to doubt Lei Te's identity, and there is no need to continue monitoring..."
Bomir turned around and waited respectfully: "Your Majesty, the information that Leiter reported just now..."
"I heard it all." King Milan said in a low voice: "I already have some clues about the origins of those three people. In the next period of time, I will start investigating this matter and will temporarily leave the Hanliu defense line. Here... just Leave it to you and Ancus."
"Understood!" Bomir said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion here. If the orcs die in five sanctuaries at once, the morale of the orc camp will definitely drop. Should we take this opportunity to launch a general offensive?"
Hearing this, King Milan looked hesitant and his eyes flickered. He held a pinch of quicksand on the sand table and held it in his palm, and he has yet to make a decision.
In the end, he let go, let the loose sand slide down the gap, and said decisively: "No need, there is no shortage of sanctuaries on the orc side, but the reduction of five sanctuaries is far from the level of vital energy. We can still provide support in a timely manner. But now we are fighting with the orcs, but it seems that there are third-party forces intervening. This time is not suitable for a decisive battle with the orcs, lest the dark forces take advantage of it."
Hearing that there were dark forces plotting, Bomir's heart tightened, his eyes flashed with worry, but when he heard that His Majesty the King would solve this matter himself, he took a deep breath and knew that all he could do was to maintain the cold current line of defense. The battle situation is stable, and he nodded vigorously and said: "I know what to do, and then I will balance the forces below, mobilize more scouts to detect the enemy's situation, and prevent accidents from happening."
"You have been in an important position for many years and have rich experience. I am very relieved." King Milan took a deep look at Bomier and said, "But there is no shortage of talents in our legion, and those who are capable should be reused, such as... Ray Te and Locke, if there is a suitable time in the future, they should be promoted."
Bomir stared slightly, and quickly lowered his head and replied: "Got it, I will always pay attention to these two people."
More than two months later.
In a valley covered with gravel, the remains of orcs and humans were thrown everywhere. Blood soaked every stone, and the smell of corpses, charcoal, and blood mixed together, filling every inch of space.
At this time, the fierce battle on the battlefield has long since ended, and only the screams of some orcs are left, which proves that their situation is over. Facing the harvest of human soldiers, they have to be captured with nothing.
Mycroft sniffed the scent lightly, frowned slightly, raised the wand in his hand, gathered a large amount of wind elements, and took away the unpleasant smell around him. Then he looked at the hill ahead, and a piece of quicksand swept across the mountainside, covering more than 200 remaining pigmen, tauren, night owls, etc., and Tucker held a huge black bow and shot poisonous sharp arrows one after another. Arrows, take away those orcs whose mobility is restricted.
【Fate value +1 when a family member kills the enemy at a higher level】
【Family members surpass the second level and kill the enemy, fate value +1】
By taking advantage of Tucker's efforts to clean up the mess, Leiter first gathered his own troops, and then he stood at the forefront of more than 300 soldiers, watching Tucker draw his bow again and again, taking away the lives of orcs.
A light curtain kept appearing in front of Leiter's eyes, and his fate value continued to rise, making him smile unconsciously. He called up the system again, looked at the [Fate Value: 26311] column in the panel, and his thoughts unconsciously once again start flying...
"More than 10,000 destiny points, it is estimated that I can break through to the peak of the great magister, but if I want to cross the threshold of the sanctuary, the fate points consumed must be in units of 10,000..."
"It's still a bit close, just bear with it... Huh..."
Rett took a deep breath, turned to look at Lawrence, and said, "Lawrence, how long have we been out this time?"
"Sir, as of today, we have been away for sixteen days." Lawrence replied without thinking.
"Your talent has always been very good. I heard that you have cultivated to the peak of a third-level knight?" Rhett smiled.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. It is true. I reached the peak two months ago. I am going to overcome this bottleneck with the help of life and death on the orc battlefield!"
Lawrence was stunned for a moment, and then a light of surprise burst out in his eyes, and he said forcefully: "Thank you, leader... no, thank you, sir!"
"It depends on your efforts..." Leiter shook his head with a smile, and looked forward again. It was not until Tucker harvested the last orc and returned to the team that he turned around and said in a heavy voice:
"The whole army listens to the order, drinks beast wine, and prepares to return to the stronghold!"
"Yes, sir!"
Four days later.
Leiter led the troops back to the temporary stronghold of the Sixth Army. While walking along a sandy yellow path along the way, he happened to see a small group of scouts approaching. The leader was wearing a camouflage helmet. He greeted him in surprise and said:
"Deputy Commander of Leiter? You are finally back!"
"Tirus, did something urgent happen?" Rhett looked at the scout in surprise and said, who seemed a little anxious.
"It's not urgent, but you'll be glad to hear it!"
"Please tell me if you have any good news!" Leiter said with great interest.
"Just three days ago, there was news from the Cold Current camp that a spy placed by the orcs in the human camp was removed by several sanctuaries!" Tirus said excitedly: "Mr. Leiter, how are you?" Curious who is that spy?"
Leiter's heart flashed suddenly, it turned out to be this matter... But he still blinked, pretending to be puzzled: "Who is it?"
"Sheman of Huilu Kingdom!"
Tirus, who was short in stature, looked up at Leite, and said in an excited voice: "That is a strong man in the sanctuary who rose decades ago. I heard that this time he was still captured alive, and then the king of Huilu Kingdom personally Hurry over here and finish it yourself in front of many people!"
"There is such a thing?" Leiter seemed shocked and speechless. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted Tirus on the shoulder, and asked: "Last time I sent you to the vicinity of Jackdaw Valley Investigate, did you find anything?"
Tirus' face straightened, and he responded: "I have been hiding there for more than half a month, and I have searched the surrounding areas, and found nothing unusual. If the only thing that is considered strange, it may be that there was no evidence during that half month. I found traces of orcs passing by."
"Although it doesn't necessarily mean that there is a problem, but when I performed missions in the past, I could basically find orcs shuttled more or less across the battlefield, but this time they didn't. It should be considered an anomaly."
"It may also be a coincidence." Leiter frowned and nodded, and said, "I see, Tirus, you did a good job! After you go down, tell your colleagues that if you find that there are fewer people in the future when you perform missions, and your physical condition Strange knights, report to me in time and avoid contact with them."
Strange knight?
Tirus showed doubts and was a little puzzled, but he still responded, and replied: "Understood, sir! By the way, the legion commander has been looking for you for the past few days. He sent us out this time to contact you as soon as possible. You'd better see Chief Ledros as soon as possible."
"I see, go find him now!"
After Leiter finished speaking, he dismissed the soldiers behind him, speeded up and ran all the way towards the hill in the middle, walked into the cave, and soon came to the hall, where he saw Ledros next to the sand table.
"I heard you were looking for me?" Leiter walked over and sat on a stone bench on the carpet.
"Well, you have been out for more than half a month. I don't know your whereabouts. I am worried that you will be caught." Ledros was wearing green light leather armor today. He raised his head and straightened his back, and said, "Lei Te, I know that you are going to kill the orcs, and your enthusiasm is higher than anyone else! But I heard that the orcs are gathering their forces recently and have temporarily closed their battle lines. So if you want to kill the orcs, you must inevitably It’s a good thing you came back in time, otherwise I would have gone out to find you myself.”
"Huh? What are the orcs gathering their forces for?" Leiter frowned and said, "Should we retreat or launch a general attack?"
"The possibility of retreat is very small. Commander Ankus said that the orcs have sent a new sanctuary to guard, which means that the opponent must intend to continue to hold on to the cold current line of defense." Ledros held a chess piece with his fingers and shook it lightly. : "Therefore, there is a high possibility of their general attack, and I have received an order from the Frost Camp, asking us to gather our troops and prepare for flank support at any time. Once the signal is sent again, it is time for us to attack from the flank !"
"How many troops do we have outside?" Leiter's face became serious, and he paced back and forth in the room.
"Not many, there are only a few scouts and a few hundred soldiers left. I have sent people out to contact them." Ledros said.
"Okay, then I will stay in the stronghold for a few days and won't go out."
Leite stopped while talking, and came to the edge of the sand table, which is the southeast area of the battlefield, where their stronghold is located.
Next, the two began to discuss the battlefield situation of the Cold Current defense line, speculating on the various trends of the battle situation, influencing factors, and the staffing and tactical arrangements for launching a flank attack, etc.
Until it got dark, the two were still discussing, but the frequency of speaking was quite slow, and new insights would come out almost every tens of minutes.
Accompanied by the sound of hasty footsteps, a knight from the cold current camp sent a sealed letter.
The two of them observed carefully and confirmed that it was correct. There was no possibility of counterfeiting or forgery, because the material of the letter paper was modified by alchemy.
Ledros quickly pulled out the letter paper, arousing a crystalline grudge belonging to the sky knight, and slapped it on the letter paper. The paper instantly disappeared, but strands of elemental light interlaced in the air, forming an arrow-like pattern.
The two stared in the same direction, their expressions became more serious. After looking at each other, they nodded in unison and walked out of the cave together.
The two acted separately according to the plan discussed in advance in the afternoon. Ledros went to the training ground to gather soldiers, while Leiter left the stronghold immediately with the 200 elites who had been waiting outside the cave.
At this time, the stars are dim, the moon has just climbed, and the clouds still have clear outlines in the sky. The cold front in summer is less chilly than in winter, but the unique roaring sound is endless.
