"madness!"

"waste!"

"idiot!"

Standing in an empty tent, a general in silver armor sat in a wooden chair with an angry look on his face. The wooden chair creaked, and the general also directed his anger to the chair under him. Fortunately, military products are of good quality.

, there was no joke about breaking the chair.

In front of this general stood two rows of leading generals wearing uniform black armor. Each of them lowered his head and dared not speak. The general in front of him who was glaring angrily was General Farley, who was famous for his fiery temper in the Potter Empire.

, he was not originally sent to lead the army this time.

Three days ago, the orcs raided the base camp, and both the general and staff were tragically killed by a hail of arrows. The leading generals, who had lost their backbone, submitted a letter of request for help to the royal family after recovering the remaining troops.

So General Farri was sent to command the remaining more than 40,000 people, accompanied by General Farri's staff. After gathering the troops, General Farri sent a general to lead a reconnaissance team of 2,000 people to the forest.

The results of the internal investigation were beyond everyone's expectations.

There is a distance of two hundred meters in the forest in the military camp. This is the farthest range that human bows and arrows can reach. However, the team did not find the traces left by the orcs until they advanced two hundred meters into the forest. This means that the range of the orcs' bows and arrows has reached the range of human bows and arrows.

Twice. When did the stupid orcs become so smart that they could invent such a weapon?

The reconnaissance team found traces left by heavy objects, but following these traces, they made a very startling discovery inside the forest.

Based on the traces, it can be inferred that the sharp weapon that fired the ultra-long-distance arrow rain should be supported by two wheels. This is proved by the fact that the traces were the deepest in the place where the traces were first found. However, as the reconnaissance troops moved forward, they discovered that these traces were the deepest.

The traces that should be called ruts are getting shallower and shallower. On the road, the weight borne by these two wheels is decreasing.

Less than a hundred meters away from the discovery of the traces, these ruts that could provide clues disappeared. As the sky darkened, the reconnaissance team followed the orcs' footprints to a distance of one mile. However,

No more useful clues can be found.

After reporting the reconnaissance results, the staff analyzed the existing information and finally concluded that this kind of sharp weapon can be assembled and disassembled at any time!

This is not good news. In the human empire, crossbows have just been popularized in the army. In terms of range, the furthest distance of the crossbows fired by the crossbows can reach 800 steps, which is more than four times that of ordinary bows and arrows.

The power is also very amazing. It can penetrate five pieces of fine iron armor within a distance of three hundred steps, while ordinary military bows and arrows are almost difficult to cause damage to fine iron armor.

It's just that the range is directly proportional to the size of the crossbow. Although the structure of the crossbow is not very complicated, in order to provide greater tension for the crossbow, the side wings of a crossbow are up to five meters wide and almost six meters long.

Once such a large object is formed, it cannot be changed, let alone assembled and disassembled.

The situation encountered by the reconnaissance force can only be explained by the conclusions given by the staff, but the generals still can't figure out how the orcs can create long-range attack weapons that are more advanced than humans. Could it be that there are dwarves or gnomes behind the scenes?

Do you support the orcs? This conclusion is something that all generals can think of, because the stupid orcs will definitely not be able to create such advanced weapons.

There is another question that has been puzzling the staff members of the General Staff Department. That is the arrows used by the opponent when they were attacked. They were ordinary feather arrows mixed with rockets to form a terrorist attack. The people of the General Staff Department have already investigated the arrows used in the attack.

It was obvious that the arrow shafts used by the opponent were still made of wood, so only a few well-preserved arrows could be found in the sea of ​​​​fire in the military camp.

As for those rockets, except for the flammable attachments remaining on the arrows, they are of the same standard as arrows without attachments. The arrow shafts are also made of wood. The problem is that if the tension is too high, the arrow shafts will not be able to withstand it.

It broke due to force. In the experiments of the Human Empire, two hundred steps was the maximum range that ordinary bows and arrows could reach, and ordinary wooden arrow shafts were simply unable to withstand the force given by the bowstring.

The complete feathered arrows picked up were roughly similar to the commonly used feathered arrows in the army. The only difference was that the arrow shafts were thicker, but this did not explain the range problem. The staff racked their brains and could not figure out the weapons used in this sudden attack by the orcs.

What is it? After reporting the results, General Farri just nodded to express his understanding, and then waved his men to exit the tent.

After everyone around him became quiet, General Fari sat on his seat, holding his cheek and sorting out the current situation.

After he received the news about the demise of the royal family, he led his own bodyguards and a thousand cavalry sent by the royal family to the foot of Fengming Mountain. He didn't care about the situation of the mercenaries. He only cared about the army of the Bota Empire. The result made him very disappointed.

The light, fire, and inexplicable attack caused more than 3,000 casualties, and the area of ​​the 100,000-person camp was not small.

The opponent was able to achieve full coverage. According to the proportion of the human army, the team responsible for launching the attack would be at least 20,000 people.

In this attack, human casualties can be put aside for the time being. There is no war without death, but the issue of food and grass has to be paid attention to. Because of the wrong arrangement of the previous leader, the army's food and grass were not far from the military camp. In this attack, the 50,000-strong army

The food and fodder is only enough to supply the current army for less than ten days. A letter asking for help has been sent out. The situation is critical, but all that can be done now is to wait.

"Are there at least 20,000 archers? Is the Orc Empire devoting all its strength to fight this war?" Fari squinted his round eyes, slid his fingers down and stroked his chin, but felt a wave of pain coming from his palm.

He felt a chill, and his body suddenly stiffened. Fali wanted to move, but he felt a stinging pain in his Adam's apple, and a subtle voice sounded behind Fali.

"If you don't want to die, don't move!"

Fali turned his eyes downward and found a thin dagger placed on his neck, and the handle of the dagger was held by a gray slender hand. At the same time, Fali also felt the connection between his upper body armor and lower body armor.

A sharp blade also penetrated the gap. The opponent didn't seem to decide to kill him immediately, so Fali remained in this position and waited for the opponent's next words.

"Very well, General Fari, I hope we can have a perfect conversation between the two of us." The voice was high-pitched, and Fari could even feel the hot breath on his neck as he spoke.

"Then, next, I will convey the will of the Beast King of the Orc Empire, hoping that General Fari can bring this news back to the palace of the Bota Empire." After saying this, the assassin pulled out the sharp blade from his waist.

"Are you an orc?" Fali didn't dare to express his anger. He was a third-level warrior, but the opponent gave him a higher impression than him. With a god of war as an assassin, has the national power of the orc empire developed to this point?

Before Fa Li could think any further, the dagger on his neck was released.

"This is the sincerity expressed by our orc empire." After saying this, a figure sprang out from the side of Fali. When Fali calmed down and looked at it, a huge wave of emotion suddenly set off in his heart. The assassin in front of him was wearing a light gray tights with two long slits.

His beard fluttered casually around his mouth, a huge rat head stared at him with a pair of bright eyes, and an aura unique to a strong man surrounded the rat man's body.

"As General Farley has seen, I am the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the 1st Border Guard Regiment of the Bill Tribe of the Orc Empire. You don't need to know my name. Believe me, although you can call your guards, you must have lost it before that.

life."

"Are you threatening me?" Fali's eyes widened. The contempt on the face of this warrior god who was less than his own height made Fali feel a little humiliated. However, from the words of the assassin in front of him, Fali knew what he knew about the development of the Orc Empire.

It is speculated that it is seriously underestimated, but this is impossible!

"I believe you have received the previous gift. There is no need for the Pota Empire to participate in this unnecessary war." The rat man put his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Fali sneered, "Persuade you to surrender?"

"Your Excellency is well-known in the Pota Empire and is regarded as the humerus minister of the Pota Empire. As a military general, you naturally know that in any war, good and evil complement each other. If I just made a slight stroke and then randomly sent out an offensive signal, then

This war must be a great victory for our Orc Empire, am I right? Sir!"

After hearing this, Fali wanted to refute, but after thinking about the situation just now, he had to admit the facts of what the despicable rat man in front of him said. Just like what the assassin in front of him said, if he had acted rashly just now, he would be dead by now.

On the spot, the opponent was a rare strong man. He could sneak into the military camp without anyone noticing and stand behind him without making a sound. Naturally, escaping was not a problem.

"General, are you okay?" The guard's concerned voice came from outside the tent. The strange movements in the tent seemed to make the guard suspicious.

Fali instinctively wanted to call out, but as soon as his eyes met the rat man's eyes, he said in his heart: "I'm fine." After saying this, Fali breathed a sigh of relief. The moment he opened his mouth, he felt a chill coming down his face.

His heart spread outward, making him feel as if he had lost control of his body. After he finished speaking, his body became lighter again, and Fali knew that he had once again walked through the gate of hell.

Hearing that the general's voice was the same as usual, the two guards breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then they frowned and rushed in. The general couldn't have talked to him by himself. Someone must have coerced him to say that it was okay!

I have to say that the two guards in Farley were very competent and very loyal, but the timing of his rush in was not very good. As soon as he rushed in, he saw General Farley with a look of astonishment on his face. Before he could speak, his eyesight went dark and then nothing happened.

Don’t know anymore.

"The general's men?" The rat man stretched out his hands and gently put down the guard who rushed in.

Fari nodded in affirmation, "A very competent guard, but it's not the right time these days." After saying that, the rat man touched the guard's neck and nodded and said, "Fortunately, there is no life-threatening danger. They are all still alive."

Fali breathed a sigh of relief, but then he couldn't help but straighten his body, because the orc in front of him still had unfinished business, and his life was still in his hands.

"General, don't be nervous. I am just a messenger. Although it is a bit violent, please understand that this is not my original intention." The rat man said softly while sitting on a chair in the tent.

"Now the situation is under your control, what else can I say?" Fari said with a sneer. The rat man was stunned for a moment and then relieved.

"Alright general, let's go back to our previous topic. War is a miracle. You want a decisive battle. If it were the Orc Empire twenty years ago, a large number of orcs might jump out and die under your superb command.

"The Skaven don't seem to care about exposing the shortcomings of their own empire. This makes Fari very strange. Are they arrogant or confident?

"But you should have seen that our orc empire now also has strong combat capabilities. I believe you can see it in a surprise attack. In the past, we orcs were not so cunning. I am right, General Fari."

Fali nodded. Even when the royal family received the letter asking for help, they did not expect that the orcs would die out after just one raid. After Fali led the army to arrive, he realized that his opponent was not as stupid as he thought. On the contrary.

, it can be seen that the opponent's combat capabilities are terrifying just through the long-range strike method.

There is no standard textbook for war. If you seek more, you will win and you will lose. Fali understands this truth. At the same time, when he first came to Fengming Mountain, he judged the purpose of the opponent's attack.

Apart from the opponent's weapon advantage, the opponent's strategic intention is very obvious, and the method is also very simple: fire attack, cut off the food road!

By destroying food and grass, the army will be unable to advance or retreat, morale will drop, and the combat effectiveness of the army will be weakened. If the army loses its morale over time, even with the support of food and grass, the strength of the army will be greatly reduced. It can be said that this battle has already been defeated by mankind before it has even begun.

The army planted the seeds of failure.

The opponent's punch was hard and accurate. The timing of the punch and the location of the injury were beyond the opponent's expectation. If the action of the rat man in front of him turned into a kill, Fali could even imagine the future result: continuous

The loss of generals in combat will have a greater impact on the army. If the situation is bad, the army may even be defeated.

Even if this situation does not occur, will the other party try their best to catalyze such a result?

The answer is yes. Fali looked at the rat man in front of him with some confusion, not knowing what to say. The unwillingness and anger in his heart were now transformed into deep helplessness.

Fali knew about the Bill tribe, which was an orc tribe dominated by werewolves. It was located about twenty miles away from the border of the orc forest. However, this was previous information. According to previous reconnaissance, it was obvious that this location had changed.

It may be closer to Fengming Mountain, but the empire is not aware of it.

No, the Gary Empire sent a mission a while ago, and it seems that they handed over a letter of credence related to the Orc Empire. What are the specific contents?

Fali suddenly remembered a notice he had received about the Orc Empire before. He seemed to have forgotten the specific content, but he still had a vague impression of the main meaning. It seemed to be a letter of credence condemning him.

He's a military commander, and he's not in the royal city, so he doesn't know very much about it.

"A while ago, the Gary Empire submitted a letter of credence to the Bota Empire...?" Fari didn't finish speaking. He had forgotten the specific content, so he wanted to see what the other party's reaction was.

"Oh, yes, is it about the Orc Empire's credential that condemns and prohibits the Human Empire from entering the territory of the Orc Empire to hunt the people of our empire? I don't think the general has read the second page. If there are any dissenters, consider it a provocation.

The Orc Empire will send troops to attack." The Ratman was stunned at first and did not expect Fali to talk about the credentials, but he still gave an explanation.

"Just a month ago, a noble from your country known as Red Maple Leaf led his team of nearly a thousand people and illegally entered the territory of our empire with the intention of attacking our empire's tribes. He was killed by our empire's army. Your country should know

This is the right news. Of course, your country may know it, but it is only in order to seek justice that you raise troops here." The rat man suddenly said with a sneer.
