2. Animal ferocity (1)
PS: Guess tomorrow morning, today's plot should be ...... It's not a prelude to slaughtering young people
As night fell, the fog evaporated from the nearby lake poured in, and the forest was completely in darkness. Except for the occasional rustle of foraging beasts running on the fallen leaves, even owls shut their mouths in such a white mist.
The forests northeast of Lake Ladoga are located in the northernmost part of Lapland, and this perennial forest is subject to wind and snow and produces nothing but wood and stone, but there are people in V.E uniforms who have come to this place with all kinds of strange instruments, and after taking a few black stones, the well-known company has never sent anyone again.
"Look, those southerners are always in such a hurry, in such a hurry. ”
The nearby Orion villagers commented this, shrugged and smiled, and then began to run for their livelihood again.
They weren't to laugh at visitors from the South, but the forest was worthless, and even the Orcs on the other side of the border weren't interested in occupying it, and the Southerners couldn't have unearthed anything.
Intuitively, there is really nothing wrong with this assertion. The Orcs are interested in the warm South, where there are large tracts of fertile land suitable for farming, and the ice-free harbor that the Hairy Bear Navy dreams of. In order to get this, they even tried to build a victory road to the south out of corpses. For the forests of the Far North, which were not suitable for the use of troops and had no strategic and economic value, His Majesty the Tsar did not bother to waste a single soldier at all.
The cold wind swept through the forest, and a hairy whimper echoed. It's still early before the snow falls. The oil freezes into elastic lumps, the trees burst with a crackling sound, and the cold freezes in the air after 2~3 months. The foreign soldiers lurking in the forest sat on the ground, like a rock and let time pass.
An infantry man in leather armor, a crossbowman leaning on a repeater, and a mage sergeant in a light blue robe embroidered with an intricate white pattern. The board-armoured, winged hussars and their equally well-protected mounts were ready to go.
With the exception of spearmen and siege engines, which were not suitable for the forest environment, almost all branches of Charlemagne's army were present in this predecessor detachment. They lay silently in the forest, and no one spoke. Do superfluous movements.
Anyone who sees this group of people will immediately understand that this group of people in front of them is a well-trained and battle-experienced warrior. They lurked in the woods to surprise someone.
This is obviously not normal, and no orcs have ever been seen near this forest. There are almost no visitors except hunters and wild beasts, and there are no objects to ambush at all.
Find out the secret path hidden in the forest. After receiving information about the activity of their prey, hunters are confident that their prey will come to the door.
"There was a flash. ”
"Four long and one short, our people. ”
It is a raunchy bearded man and a well-groomed beautiful man who speaks. The two men with strong contrasting appearances are the commanders of this mixed hidden force. The lean aura that has been cultivated on the front line for many years emanates into the air from the two people who had closed their eyes and recuperated a few minutes ago.
"How's it going?"
In the darkness where he couldn't lift fire, General Pesini, who was wearing overweight plate armor, asked. The glowworm-like faint lighting technique could not illuminate the scout's face, and listening to the slightly nervous and excited breathing, the general's heart was already half relieved.
"Just like the intelligence says, the motorcade is advancing. The wheel print is very deep and should be fully loaded with goods. ”
"The huts in the streets were lit up and there were figures walking around. There were also voices of speech. ”
The general said calmly, "Go down." After the scouts had left, he turned to the well-groomed Viscount Barrow and asked:
"Is there any news from the Vostok?"
"There was a report from the lookout that they saw the carriage and the torches, and nothing more. ”
Compared with the viscount, who felt stable and participated in both government and military affairs, it was somewhat difficult to suppress the excess passion, and his tongue moistened his lips. Viscount Barrow forced his voice and laughed:
"That cunning stinky fox has finally caught its tail. ”
"Hmm. ”
Pessini's response remained as calm as ever.
"You can't underestimate that fox too much, ten years ago, it was precisely because of underestimating him that he was taken advantage of. ”
The general and the magician could already see in the distance on the path away from the main road, a long snake made of torches meandered along the laughter sandwiched in the woods, and the wing-shaped symbol on the carriage was particularly conspicuous in the image depicted by the magic [Goddess of Wisdom]. The hunters lurking in the darkness slowly swallowed their saliva into their stomachs for fear of startling their prey, and their patience was finally rewarded.
It was not uncommon for the army to plunder the merchants, and whenever the king and the lords could not get their salaries, the soldiers would naturally ask the merchants for [friendship sponsorship] with the weapons in their hands. When there were no daily necessities and entertainment for the army vendors, the GIs would often "invite" enthusiastic wealthy people near their garrisons to reward the army.
The army in front of them has undergone strict military training, their immediate superiors have never defaulted on or withheld military salaries, and at the same time, the military law department has also enforced military discipline very thoroughly. Bound by a sense of honor and military discipline, they have never had a record of plundering or anything like that. It was not even a thought of committing a joint crime with different units such as magicians, griffin cavalry, and even floating warships, and although they mistakenly thought they were hallucinating when they heard the order, these simple-minded and loyal warriors continued to enforce it strictly, and none of them questioned or expressed dissatisfaction with it.
Only the commander in charge of the execution and the core members of a small high-level group know how much impact this covert operation will have on Charlemagne and the world.
The convoy they were preparing to attack was to make a weapons deal with the United Rus' Duchy this evening, arranging for the soldiers to lurk here for a day and a night, precisely to catch evidence of the murder merchant V.E. colluding with the infidel barbarians. As long as he can get the stolen goods from this person, the hateful Siegfried Otto Learin can no longer deny it, and the burning stake of the Inquisition will be the final destination for him and his company.
The thought that ten years of arduous struggle would finally end with justice and justice being served, General Pessini was thrilled and relieved to assemble a large contingent, including the floating battleship Vostok, to carry out the operation.
V.E's vicious counterattack is unimaginable, and if the convoy is not captured, the pervasive killers will soon reach the homes of every project participant and kill everyone they meet.
They must be forced to give up resistance with tenfold or even dozens of times more force than the convoy escort. Keep the human and physical evidence intact and hand it over to the side of Lüdes, and cooperate with the heroes in Lüdes City to expose the evil deeds of V.E Company, so that the angry people can completely end this cancer that has been entrenched in the body of the country for ten years with a hearty trial, and re-energize their kingdom to rise and rise between the kingdoms.
Even Sir Langeberg, who sacrificed himself to attract the attention of the puppies, could not be lost.
"We're not going to lose, absolutely not!"
General Pesini gritted his molars and muttered secretly.
Not far away in the jungle, the elves in the 23 Tiger chariots of the 1st Panzer Company of the 503rd Heavy Armored Battalion of the Yalfheim Defense Army are stuffing 88mm high-explosive grenades into the breeches of their guns, and the young armored soldiers are preparing to use black sorkin explosives to defend the knights.
