Chapter 62 Killing the Dog
With a swipe sound, the adjutant next to the commander-in-chief pulled out the long knife hanging from his waist and yelled: "Go to hell, you arrogant person!" Before he finished speaking, the light of the knife had already enveloped the rat man's head. Hearing that
The sharp sound caused by the blade tearing the air, the adjutant really wanted to split the rat man in front of him in half with one knife.
"Stop!" the commander yelled, and at the same time he made a lightning-fast move to catch the adjutant who rushed forward. However, the adjutant attacked in a hurry, and even he did not expect it. After all, it was a step too late. After failing to catch the adjutant,
, the commander-in-chief closed his eyes unbearably.
There was a sound of ding, and the entire tent fell into silence again. The commander opened his eyes and found that the adjutant's single room was twitching, as if he was exerting force. His eyes shifted, but he was shocked to find that the rat man in charge of delivering the order actually used two thin fingers.
Clamping the long knife firmly was the reason why the adjutant frequently used force.
All the humans in the tent were shocked by the scene in front of them. Who would have thought that this rat man, who could not pick out ten pounds of meat from all his body together, would have such strong strength and reaction ability, looking at two spoon handles
With thick and thin fingers, everyone present swallowed involuntarily.
The Rat Man's relaxed expression and the adjutant's aggrieved expression formed a sharp contrast. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became a little awkward. The commander was the first to react and pretended to cough dryly and said to the adjutant with a serious face:
"You bastard, you still won't back down!"
The adjutant looked ashamed and wanted to draw the knife and retreat, but found that there was no way to take the knife back. Looking at the commander's stern expression, the adjutant had no choice but to let go and retreat, and the long knife was also taken away by the rat man.
Play with it in your hands.
"The message from the messenger has been conveyed, so please go back and report it. Let me think about it again. It only takes one night!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, you only have one night. In fact, we know very well that the remaining food and grass in your army is only enough for tomorrow. Since you have said that you want to consider it, I will wait for your news.
, Farewell." After saying that, the rat man raised his hand and took out the long knife. With a bang, the long knife returned directly to the adjutant's scabbard.
The rat man turned around and walked out of the tent. After a few ups and downs, he left the camp. Except for the patrol soldiers who were closer to him and looked up when they felt something strange, the rest did not notice a thin figure passing by them.
Seeing the Rat Man disappearing, the Commander-in-Chief looked at the mercenaries patrolling back and forth in the camp, their staggering steps and confused and slightly frightened eyes, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh and turned back to the tent.
When all his subordinates gathered in the tent, the commander-in-chief, who had been silent, finally broke the depression in the tent.
"Let all my brothers have a good rest today. We will prepare to surrender early tomorrow morning." As soon as he finished speaking, many of his subordinates could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. From the very beginning of this battle, the coalition forces received various weapons from the Orc Empire.
There are so many "gifts" that the leaders of the team are overwhelmed and have a headache.
This battle was so frustrating!
From the beginning of the war, more than 2,000 people were lost, and then the orc troops seemed to like this kind of non-stop harassment tactics. The human coalition forces were not prepared either physically or mentally.
The number of casualties has reached 10,000, and the opponent's losses are only one-tenth of our own. This result makes all human beings feel two words - horror!
Especially after the entire army fell into the predicament of being surrounded due to mistakes in tactical command, the harassment and fighting by the orcs even began to intensify. The death toll of the human coalition increased sharply, and their morale was so low that they almost collapsed. However, the main force of the orc emperor's army still did not exist.
Appear.
"You can't surrender!" The high priest who had been hiding behind everyone jumped out at this moment, pointed at the commander's nose and yelled: "I order you not to surrender. You are mercenaries, and we paid for it.
How can you surrender? No surrender!"
The words of the high priest immediately attracted the glares of all the generals present. If it weren't for the high priest in front of him who was eager for quick success and dictating the tactical command, the coalition forces would not have fallen into such a passive situation. If it were normal times, it is estimated that this high priest would definitely
Taste the feeling of being beaten.
Arrogant, unscrupulous, not knowing how to advance or retreat, a series of derogatory words flashed through the minds of each general, but other than glaring angrily, no one stood up to respond. Even the adjutant who wanted to kill the orc messenger just moved forward.
He took a small step and didn't move again.
It seemed that he was very satisfied with how he shocked everyone as soon as he appeared. The high priest looked a little proud and kept pointing at the commander-in-chief without letting go of his hand. "I order you to attack and protect me to kill... ah!" screams!
Coming from the mouth of the high priest, the commander let go of his hand, and the high priest held his hand with the broken finger with his other hand.
Because of the excessive pain, the high priest had to bend down, but he kept staring at the commander-in-chief's face with disbelieving eyes. While breathing in pain, he yelled in an off-key voice: "What do you want to do?
You are mercenaries! Who asked you to hurt your employer? Aren't you afraid of being surrounded by the Knights of the Temple? Heretics! I will go back and declare you heretics. I will destroy you at your mercenary headquarters and let your families and children be there.
Burned alive at the stake, I...I want...".
When the high priest wanted to say something more, the commander-in-chief suddenly said: "Even mercenaries sometimes fail in their missions. What's more, you have also seen that we are not the opponent of the Orc Empire at all. From the beginning to now, you
Have you ever seen a head-on battle? Not even a tenth of the black-armored cavalry in our Two-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group is left. The major mercenary teams have suffered heavy losses, and the number of casualties has reached half. Now the logistics are attacked, and the food and grass are at risk. We have to
What against the orcs?”
The commander-in-chief's words made sense. The high priest was immediately choked by this series of words, but soon he raised his head and said: "We must have confidence. As long as our hearts are filled with courage, even if it is a long sword,
Our unyielding spirit cannot be torn apart, we must turn courage into...".
The high priest's words suddenly stopped. He lowered his head and stared at the tip of the knife that suddenly emerged from his chest with doubtful eyes. A slight chill spread from his chest throughout his body. The high priest turned around with difficulty, only to find that there was a man standing in front of him.
A child of about six or seven years old looked at him with an indifferent expression.
"You..." The words just rose and fell, like a tattered quilt. The high priest fell to the ground with a bang, kicking up a burst of choking dust. Blood gurgled out from under the high priest, dyeing the ground under him.
Seeing the dazzling scarlet color, the long knife behind him was still shaking slowly, and the sharp blade was still shining with a biting cold light.
"Hey, why do I always encounter such barking dogs every time I see humans? Turn courage into armor? Turn spirit into a sword? Such words are bullshit!" The sound of clapping came from the hands of the child,
A bunch of human beings were brought back to reality from their sluggishness. At this time, someone came over, drew their swords, and tightly surrounded the child. There must be something strange about the sudden appearance of such a decisive and ruthless child.
"How can I say, I am also your savior. Have you ever turned a knife on your benefactor? Human beings really have no manners and education!" After saying that, the child sat on the commander's seat with a disappointed look on his face.
All the humans looked at each other, and they all noticed the horror in each other's eyes. How did this child break out of the encirclement? No one could see clearly.
"Who are you?" The adjutant knew that he had to step forward at this time to leave room for negotiation for the commander-in-chief, so he immediately stepped forward to ask after he woke up.
The boy sneered and said: "No wonder you lost so miserably. It turns out it's really not the fault of that dead dog. You have stayed in the double-line defense circle of my Orc Empire for so long, and you don't even know who I am."
Do you know?" As soon as the words came out, the ping-pong sound of weapons falling to the ground was heard, and all the humans present fell into a daze again...
Frontline command.
"What, Your Excellency the Divine Envoy actually went to the enemy camp?" Hua Lian stared at the rat man who suddenly appeared in his tent and shouted. Tu Shan behind him pulled Hua Lian and said: "Sir Malos, what you are talking about is
real?"
Malos nodded and said: "After delivering the news to you, I did not come back directly. Instead, I met with the God Envoy. As a result, he rushed in on a whim, and I came to report the results."
"However, the message to persuade them to surrender has been sent to the enemy. We are just waiting. Why do we need to take action?" Hua Lian still didn't understand the reason. He could only secretly lament that the envoys acted mysteriously and he really couldn't guess.
Malos nodded again and said: "You two may not know something. A few days ago, the Beast Emperor and the Divine Envoy both went out and captured three strong human beings on the edge of the orc grassland. Although the Divine Envoy thought that these two
The matter had nothing to do with it, but just in case, he decided to investigate it himself."
"The Beast God is on top, the Beast King and the God's Envoy are both dispatched..." Tushan looked at Malos in disbelief and didn't know what to say for a moment. However, Hualian was interested and did not fall into a state of speech and immediately asked: "
Do the two of us have the authority to know about this?"
"able!"
As the commander-in-chief and staff officer of the southern frontline defense circle of the empire, Hua Lian and Tu Shan naturally have enough authority. "Even the Beast Emperor has been dispatched. What level of powerhouse is the captured human being?"
"They were three second-level martial saints. They were first trapped by His Excellency the Divine Envoy's formation, and then the three of them fought with each other and were captured after exhaustion." Malos said with some pride. Although he did not see this kind of thing with his own eyes,
But his admiration for Lean made his blood boil.
