Chapter 164: Cannon Fodder Goes
"Lord Leo, are you still struggling about not being able to kill that undead?"
In Dammod's tavern, Leo shrugged his shoulders at Verry, who was asking him questions, and he was very depressed for Shanjiu to fall short for such a thing.
It has been more than ten days since the last first battle against the undead, and after the undead commander was seriously injured and escaped, under the unbalanced balance of Leo and Scarlett, the two powerhouses of the legendary realm, the human army quickly gained the advantage, and if it weren't for the follow-up reinforcements of the undead, it would not be difficult for them to defeat the first line of defense of the undead.
"I'm not bothered by the fact that the opponent has escaped," Leo put down his glass slightly, his face slightly heavy, "Veri, you should have seen that there are five legendary powerhouses in the reinforcements that came in the second half of the battle that day, and the advantage of the undead in high-end combat power is too great compared to ours." β
Verry was silent, in fact, the problem that Leo was talking about now was also the most worrying thing for the officers of the entire Stormwind Expeditionary Force. Before leaving, the Storm Expeditionary Force laughed at the successive defeats of the Kingdom of AraΓ§o in the war against the undead, believing that it was the strength of the AraΓ§o Alliance. But after they faced the undead, everyone realized that it was not that the army of the Alaso Kingdom was not good, but that the army of the undead was too strong.
Think about the previous Storm Expeditionary Force, except for Major Link, who was a powerhouse of the Legendary Realm, there were only some high-ranking officers at the rank of Warrior, if it weren't for Leo and Scarlett's promotion to the powerhouses of the Legendary Realm after the battle with Caramos, would they still have the confidence to defend against the undead army of at least seven Legendary Realm powerhouses on the other side?
"The strength of the army of the undead in the Undercity is beyond our expectations, we didn't expect them to have so many strong people." Another non-commissioned officer at the same table sighed.
"The undead soldiers are also strong, and our soldiers are noticeably less experienced in combat compared to them."
"If Stormwind doesn't send reinforcements in time, I guess we're hanging."
"But it takes time to mobilize the army, and the army can't be sent if you want to."
The scene suddenly cooled down, they had to withstand the attack of the undead army before the reinforcements from Stormwind City arrived, but in the face of an opponent with more high-end combat power, more elite soldiers, and superior numbers, how much confidence could the officers of the expeditionary force have?
Based on Dammod, controlling the wetlands, and counterattacking the Arathi Heights is easier said than done. This is the case that is easier said than done, Leo laughed self-deprecatingly, who brought these up first? Isn't it He, Leo?
Seeing that Leo was a little depressed, Verry hurriedly opened a new topic: "Lord Leo, Chask's group really don't know what to do, I heard that Major Link asked them to go to the Sadol Bridge to take over the people of the mage regiment to defend the army of the undead, but they actually refused. β
"Poof......
Leo was drinking with a wine glass, and Verry's news was so surprising that he sprayed a master chief on the other side. How bad is it for a person who openly disobeys the orders of his superiors and can do such a thing? You must know that this is an army on the front line of the battlefield, not an administrative office in the rear.
"Disobedience before the war is a capital offense, are you sure? How come I didn't hear the news. β
Leo looked confused, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be unaware of such news.
Verry smiled mysteriously, and his face was full of smugness when he saw that the whole table was looking at him: "I'm not talking nonsense, I saw with my own eyes that the herald sent by Major Link was driven out by that group of mages, and he said something like sending a small soldier to disrespect the honorable mage." Hehe, these deserters from the Kingdom of Alaso still want to be respected, and they think too highly of themselves. β
"I said that they really dared to disobey the order, it turned out that they were asserting their own identities. Talking about the identity of the herald is both clumsy and repugnant. Leo pouted, Verry is really good at exaggerating, he really has the essence of the title party - in order to catch the eyeballs, he is not shocking and dies.
"I'm more concerned about Major Link's reaction than about it. Viri, what else do you see? β
"Then Major Link sent a knight over, and the group of mages agreed. Leo-sama, what's wrong? β
Leo said to himself when Verry said that Link had sent a knight, and sure enough, it was. He lowered his voice and said to the people at the same table: "Try not to go to the Sadol Bridge during this time, if someone wants you to go, you can push it, and if you can't push it, you will find a way to delay." β
Verry and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw the look of shock in the other party's eyes, and the thoughts of being able to sit firmly in the position of Master Chief were naturally clear, and they cautiously verified: "Lord Leo, what do you mean......"
"I mean, a fighter who has just fought a battle needs to rest, and it's better not to go to the battlefield until he recovers." Leo smiled mysteriously.
If they hadn't heard what Leo said to Scarlett, they would have been confused by now, but the truth is that they heard it, and the Master Chiefs understood it after a little thought, in connection with Leo's mysterious smile.
Major Link is ruthless! Verry and the others were secretly shocked in their hearts, Chask's group of mages were so arrogant [***] gram can actually endure it, in the eyes of those who don't know, it is because he maintains respect for the mages, or his own surname is weak, but in the eyes of those who understand, Major Link doesn't bother to deal with these mages at all. What's the point of scheming with the same group of people who are about to die?
Someone who is about to die? That's right, it's Chask's group of mages who pull small groups.
A warrior of the legendary realm of the undead was almost killed on the battlefield by Leo and Scarlett, will they not come to retaliate, will they come and not move back?
The undead want to take revenge, and the high-end force they come will definitely not be lower than the three powerhouses of the legendary realm, after all, it was the two legends of the human race who joined forces to severely damage the undead commander, and if the undead came less, it was not revenge but delivery.
But at this time, Leo and Scarlett are not on the front line, they are staying in Dammod, and the undead will definitely not find a target when they come to revenge, and at that time will they not find someone to vent their anger?
If you want to find a target to vent your anger, compared to the soldiers who come to the army, the officers and some noble people are naturally the first to bear the brunt, and Chask's group of mages went to the front line at this time, aren't these mages the best targets?
Pushing Chasque's group of Arathasor's deserters to the front line, as cannon fodder to vent his anger at the imminent revenge of the undead, Major Link is really dark enough. Of course, Leo, who can guess all this, is not a pure guy.
The kind-faced and dark-hearted Major has really done a good job, and letting the group of mages in Araso be cannon fodder has reduced the losses of the Storm Expeditionary Force itself, and no one will say anything. Chask's men had already caused a lot of anger within the Stormwind Expeditionary Force during this time, and even if a smart person like Leo saw Link's thoughts, no one would give a warning to the group of mages who were kept in the dark.
"Chask's group thinks they are superior, their relationship with the rest of the army is too stiff, they can't get much information about the battle situation at all, so they run to the front line in such a daze, if such a fool can't die, what is the reason?"
Muttering in a low voice, Leo drank the moonshine in the wine glass, and secretly sneered in his heart, afraid that some fools who had been sold would still not know when they died.
The idiot that Leo was referring to was none other than Chask. At this time, the bald mage who received the military order was laughing proudly with his group of fox friends and dogs.
Before the fall of Riptide Castle, their group of people had no place in the entire kingdom of Arasuo, and there were many people who were stronger than them, but a large part of these people who were stronger than them were killed in battle when Riptide Castle fell, because of desperate resistance to the undead army and the orcs of the Shadow Council, and the remaining part of the people were struggling to resist the attack of the undead army in the Refuge Valley at this time, and only their group of people who fled immediately when they saw that the situation was not good were alive very well.
"The guys in Stormwind are so soft, we kicked out their heralds, and they all had to smile. Lord Chask, you expected that. β
A smug smile appeared on Chask's face: "That major named Link wants to send an ordinary soldier to instruct us to do things, but he can figure it out, we are noble mages, even if we want to convey military orders, we have to send someone of a worthy position." β
"That's right, we are noble mages, and letting a small soldier give orders doesn't it lower our status?"
If Leo was here, he would have left immediately. As the saying goes, those who are close to pigs are fat, and those who are close to ink are black, and staying with a group of second-class goods will also be assimilated into second-class goods.
"Chask, will we listen to the orders of that major in Stormwind?"
"Listen, why don't you listen? Anyway, they've sent a knight over, so let's go to the Sadol Bridge. β
Chask said this as if he had given the Storm Expeditionary Force a lot of face, and he didn't want to think about it, people are here to support the Kingdom of Aratho, and they need you to give face?
Suddenly, from a miscellaneous person with no status and no one to be taken seriously, he became the leader of a group of people, and he experienced the fluttering of directing people to do things, and some people patting their horses, and Chask, who was completely stunned by the sudden 'happiness', now really doesn't know how many pounds and taels he weighs. Just what they can do to make Link, the Major of the Legendary Realm, bow his head? How could this be possible if the other party had no plans? At this time, I didn't think carefully about the other party's intentions, and I was still intoxicated with my own pride, which really responded to what Leo said - if such a fool can't die, what is the reason?
Chask, who was walking towards the Sadol Bridge with a group of soldiers in high spirits, would never have imagined that the seemingly calm defense line of the Sadol Bridge would face the fierce revenge of the undead army, and what kind of opponents they would encounter as mages.
Standing at the door of the tavern and watching the backs of Chask and the others disappear from view, Leo raised the wine glass in his hand with a playful expression.
Cannon fodder, go all the way, and there will be no time in the future. (I was banned from logging in for no reason, and I burst into tears.) οΌ
