"What are you?"
The middle-aged man faced the threat of dozens of pairs of fierce eyes with obvious hostility and slightly fewer [iron rods] equipped with three-edged thorns, and his companions behind him raised their short swords and small round shields for fighting, and posed in a posture ready to stab. Tension and hostility are at odds with each other, and the air is as sinister as the depths of a dragon's den. Li Nadu's eyes seemed to be about to cut open the young man's chest, and he did not avoid danger, and at the same time, he did not allow the other party to dodge the question and slashed head-on.
Under the strong pressure, several fingers that pulled the trigger trembled. The rigorous training on weekdays had a noticeable effect, and not a single bullet was discharged before the commander gave the order.
[What kind of training are these guys getting......]
Campbell, with his gray hair tucked between his temples, glanced at the handsome faces as cold as metal, and felt the abrupt sensation of his nerves burning with anxiety. These sharp-eared older children, who looked like they were about the same age as their sons, were not disturbed by the situation or their voices at all, and they were bent on keeping an eye on their every move, and as soon as the black-haired strange boy gave orders or the people in the center of the encirclement made any move that could be regarded as an attack, the weapons in the hands of the elves in green uniformsโiron pipes with spikes, square iron blocks, and complex iron pipes that required the operation of three elves, thick or thin, would immediately erupt into flames, causing the target in front of him to lie down with holes all over his body.
- Just like the unlucky woolly bear cavalry.
The smell of rust, burnt, and saltpeter with a slight residual heat wafted in the wind, and Campbell's armpits oozed cold, sticky sweat, and his hands holding the short sword added a little strength.
What went wrong? When did the elves have such powerful and ferocious combat power and weapons? Didn't these guys have been invincible for hundreds of years?
The dark-haired boy with the core answer crossed his arms and looked at the humans with a chilling smile. You may be thinking about what to do with the flesh-like humans on the board, or you may be thinking about the abrupt question from earlier.
Why did the situation become so dangerous? Time needs to be retraced a little bit to a few hours ago.

"Do you have to eat bread?"
The little girl looks very cute with her mouth raised, the short-sleeved pullover and the short skirt are matching pink, and Chloe, who is already very protective of the viewer, is surrounded by children's clothes, and the audience, regardless of gender, has an urge to hold this over-energetic kitten in their arms.
"It's not brown bread, it's special white bread, and it's fluffy and fluffy from fermented flour. It's not hard at all. โ
Brunhill raised his knife and cut the heated bread into thin slices suitable for Chloe to chew, spread the jam on the fried egg, covered with another slice of bread, and handed it to Chloe.
The little girl timidly took the food that was completely different from the black bread that was dry and hard in her impression, and she could never swallow it without soaking in hot soup, the soft feel and seductive fragrance couldn't help but make Chloe's index finger move, and after carefully biting off the edge of the bread, the soft and delicious taste immediately resolved the little girl's suspicions, and fought hard with the bread slices and eggs.
Brunhill couldn't help but laugh as she watched Chloe gobble up, and at the tasting session after the food department's improved bread-making process, the initial discouragement and scramble came back to mind.
At that time, the most courageous person in the battle for bread was Freya, and the nimble elf girl jumped over a group of stinky boys, and Major Freya, who was not full in her arms and had two loaves in her mouth, really made Brunhill, who was her sister, cry and laugh. ...,
I always don't refuse all kinds of food, and my petite body can't get fat no matter how much I eat - especially my breasts. With these two characteristics, Freya looks like a young girl and has the sensitive feeling of a small beast, but unlike the greedy and cunning little domestic cat in front of her, her sister is closer to a little wild cat who is not afraid of the sky and the earth.
"It's so delicious~~~~ Is the elf's bread so delicious?
Licking all the breadcrumbs off her fingers, and taking a big sip of milk and mushroom soup, Chloe burped mischievously and asked embarrassedly at the girl with long pointed ears in front of her.
"It wasn't very good before...... The bread was dry and hard, and there was sand and pebbles in it. Captain...... After His Excellency Li Lin led everyone out of the valley, everyone filled their stomachs, put on beautiful clothes, and had a warm house, and gradually had time to study how to make bread more delicious. โ
"Is Mr. Li Lin such a great person? Then he must be very good at cooking, right?"
"Your Excellency's cooking...... It's not that good. โ
Brunhill's eager question made Brunhill a little embarrassed, but Chloe's body began to shake, and after a few sways she lay on her stomach in the arms of the elven girl, and a slight snoring sounded at the same time.
Laying Chloe's body flat, Brunhill shook her head, the guilt and motherhood in her heart were suppressed, and before being a woman, it was first the officer's consciousness that came back to her.
[Even if it is unjust and dishonorable, we can only go on with our heads. ใ
Gritting her teeth to tidy up her mood, the girl covered her sleep with a blanket and asked the hygienist who walked into the tent.
"About 2 hours, enough until the battle is over, Major. โ
"Really...... How's the MDS getting ready? Are those guys in the technical department lazy? We must not be negligent in the maintenance of the [Rose] wire-controlled gun and the like. โ
"Technical Director Eberbach, Technical Lieutenant Heinrich, and several other maintenance personnel are still inspecting, and Major Tyre just now made the same request to the technicians who maintain the [Dendrobium Orchid]. Until a new order arrives, they will be nervous and standby. โ
The answer was sonorous, but the female doctor's shaky eyes revealed some caution.
"The battle with the orcs is nothing more than a carnival for the infantry, and in the battle that follows, the strength of [Shoshi] is indispensable. โ
[The battle that followed] -- The hygienist who heard the phrase tensed and glanced reflexively at the corner of the tent.
A pitch-black box sleeps there.
It is said to be pitch black, but there are also silver lines outlining the runes of Rune to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters on the edges of the ridges, and a strange pattern is painted in gold on the lid of the box.
An elven woman with her hands stretched out to the sky in prayer, flanked to the left and right by men of the human and orc tribes kneeling to serve the holy elven daughter.
This theme shows the cause of the existence of the "key to the box", and also shows how the elves have endured humiliation for hundreds of years and degraded the two races at the ideological level.
The calm was shattered by the shouting and noise, and the elven girls who were almost sucked out of the box looked up at the outside of the tent.
"Are you going to start? โ
With a cold whisper, Brunhill walked briskly out of the tent, the soldiers on the ground making the final checks of their respective weapon authors.
Hundreds of years later, the original prayer has been poisoned into a curse by humiliation, resentment, and millions of undead, and the only one who can unravel that curse now and burn all the injustice in the world is gone.
Therefore, neither the army nor himself will allow defeat to discredit Colonel Li Lin.

Commander Sorokin looked at the chaotic defense of the convoy, the earthen ditch and the ring wire at the edge of the bushes, and the corners of his mouth tilted uncontrollably. ...,
"A bunch of imbecile monkeys!"
The bear orc grinned, and the intimidating smile cursed the orc's affectionate words for humans. A dogskin hat with a snowcock's beautiful tail feathers on its head sways with the movement of its head. Several rifles in the elven position swayed on the feather, and the snipers carefully adjusted the straight trajectory between the muzzle and the windy hat.
It's about 680 meters, which is a bit far. Sergeant Conig was confident enough of this distance that with a slight push of his index finger, a 7.92mm copper-skinned steel-core peanut would leave the chamber of the gun and burrow into the hairy head that was too conspicuous to be good, turning the floppy head into a small watermelon that exploded. Just pull the trigger slightly with your finger......
The non-commissioned officer of the first class slowly exhaled the hot air in his abdomen, and in addition to teaching him the knowledge of using, repairing, and maintaining firearms and various tactics, the military academy also taught him how to abide by the discipline of steel and carry out the orders issued by his superiors to the letter.
Holding a sniper-type 1231 semi-automatic rifle (Gewehr31), silent as a stone on a battlefield, it was no longer the wolf hunting boy with a bow and arrow in the mountains of Castile, but the story of grandfather, boy and wolf in his head, and the sergeant banished the strong urge to blow that head out of his head.
He was a soldier and it was his duty to obey orders.
Before the commander gave the order, the anxious comrades around the sniper tried to suppress the desire to pull the trigger, until the tempting target was out of range, a regretful exhalation resounded on the position, and the gun was raised in a standing position to aim, and three bricks had to be hung on the front of the barrel, and when the number of target rings was insufficient, the gun had to be re-raised with bricks - such a boring and monotonous training was just to look forward to the moment of shooting and killing the enemy, Conig's snort and no longer moved.
Like a hungry wolf who has missed its prey and is holding its breath for the next raid. The sniper takes his finger off the trigger and puts the retainer on it. Through the V.E's optically finished scope, beautiful blue eyes searched a field of wild grass taller than a person. You can faintly glimpse some unnatural swaying of wild grass, and occasionally a few fur hats and iron helmets flicker through the grass.
[I really don't know if they did it on purpose......]
There is no study or introduction to the discipline of the human and orc armies in the military school, and occasionally some bad rumors have been heard, but they are only used as a reference with low credibility. Now that he was looking at the meadow with the help of his optical aids, he could only express his thoughts in his heart to this casual attitude.
After taking the scout from the edge of life and death, Commander Sorokin, who didn't know it, never cared much about the military discipline of his subordinates. Like his colleagues, his human counterparts, the Commander did not consider it a problem to indulge the suffocated Khaba in slaughtering, arson, raping, and looting during and after the battle. It was the reward that the grey animals who were born and died for him deserved. Learning to get satisfaction from the indulgence of slaughter, and the animals will fall in love with the battle as much as they love spirits, which is a little trick to leading a soldier.
As for the innocent people of the enemy country...... Who cares about them?
Humans and orcs alike, killing infidels, killing civilians, and plundering what a qiฤ could take away. In this way, encourage your men to fight until the last drop of blood is shed.
Now, a similar scene will play out again.
"Soldiers!!"
The Commander rode his sturdy black wildebeest in front of a phalanx of hundred-man cavalry, and his companions from the steppes of the Xabar carried him past a group of puffed out ursa cavalry.
"The other party is just a group of businessmen led by children! There are only more than 100 people!"
There is still a distance of more than 100 meters between the assembly and departure place of the [Scavenging Crow] and the wild grass that acts as a barrier, and it is Sorokin's high-profile speech that he is not worried that he will be heard by opponents hundreds of meters away, and even if he hears it, in the grassland with a wide field of vision and that small bush, is it possible for more than 100 people to slip away from the hands of more than 400 cavalry?...,
"I can tell you what I saw! The target is just a bunch of cowards who can dig a ditch! They are more cowardly than pheasants, fatter and stupider than the wild ducks in autumn! I dug a little ditch and surrounded myself, thinking that by shrinking into it I would escape, that I would be able to stop the charge of the warriors!!"
"Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!ha
Rough and unbridled laughter startles away the birds in the depths of the forest not too far away, and laughter full of pride, pride, contempt, and lightness pours dangerous heat into the air.
In fact, the commander was somewhat impressed by the merchants' ability to take advantage of the terrain. The position was set up against a taller bush than a man, and the wire fence resembling a horse fence enclosed the perimeter, so that the cavalry could not use the tactics of flanking the attack, and had to attack from the front, thus avoiding the worst-case situation of being attacked from the belly and back.
But so what?
As far back as the Great War, orc warriors without swords would launch fearless charges with clubs or bare hands, and when the warriors with weapons died in battle, the warriors with their hands immediately picked up their weapons and continued to charge.
They are orcs, they are bears, and they are a fighting people who are more difficult and capable of fighting than the cold and snow!
The beast factor that was deeply rooted in their bodies and flowing in their blood was awakening with the massive secretion of adrenaline, and the urge to split their heads, cut open their chests, tear their limbs, and bite their throats gradually warmed up the brain marrow, and clusters of faint green light flickered under the iron helmet.
A banner depicting a crow-pecking corpse was erected, a heavy breath spewing out the stench of carrion, and a bloodthirsty instinct filled not only the simple mind, but the atmosphere was disturbed by the scorching heat that overflowed.
"The last time, this is the last hunt we will have on this side of the land. After packing up this convoy, let's go back to our hometown, boys! You're about to marry the girl you like in your hometown with glory!!"
Whoop !!!!!!!!!!!Whoop Who
Warriors who have been through a hundred battles and have made a name for themselves will sometimes express feelings of homesickness even under the symptoms of mild war poisoning. This group of Qiu Ba has been away from home for three years, and the day-to-day battles - the boring life of transfer, the homesickness continues to accumulate, [I can finally go home!] - such an all-encompassing temptation is irresistible to the soldiers who are hoping to return to their hometown alive every day.
"Thank you, Lord!"
The mantra used by the ruffians of the ancient horde era was shouted out again, and the feelings of the soldiers, the ten-commander, the centurion, and even the thousand-captain of the Zoro King himself were brought to the climax, and victory was not a difficult thing, the convoy, the merchants, the small earthen ditch......
It's just a very simple thing.
"Form a wedge formation, rush out of the grass and sprint at full speed. Break through according to the old rules, and after a charge, all the troubles are gone. โ
The confident commander gave his tactical arrangement, and the hot-headed subordinates had no doubt about it.
โโIt's really easy.
No one noticed that there was a strange big bird that did not flap its wings in the sky and was constantly hovering above their heads, and no one's eyes could look beyond the grass to catch the V.E company's trenches, and the faces of the [rabbit] recruits who were holding all kinds of copycat weapons and wearing cottage 07-style training uniforms gradually showed excitement on their faces.
None of the orcs could have foreseen that their commander's promise to return to his hometown and get married after this battle was actually a banner that no one could return home.
"Mother Goddess Bless the Tsar - !!!"
Pulling out the brand-new Albion-style cavalry knife that he had just acquired, the commander's high-pitched proclamation received many resonant responses.
"Mother Goddess Bless Tsar - !!!!!!"
The wildebeest trotted into the manoeuvres under the guidance of the rider, gradually increasing its speed and preparing to attack.
The orcs entered the battle mode with joy, and happily pounced on the [fat] on the other side.
The gates of hell will be opened for these guys who don't know anything.
