Chapter 008 The Ambush of the Ogre
After most of the marching, we continued to penetrate into the dark world that humans rarely entered.
The forest is deep and mysterious.
Using the mysterious data stream and through the perspective of cavalry scouts, Yasuo discovered that the light around the woodland was also bright and dark, with colorful colors, sometimes covered with white snow, sometimes bluish puddles.
It didn't run far away. But the feeling of emptiness made the galloping horse panting. The cavalry scout on its back and the broad chest were like a bellows on the furnace, constantly rising and falling.
Climbing up a steep slope, suddenly, the cavalry's whole body was unable to move as if carrying a thousand pound gate.
Just because he found that the steep slope was covered with disguise. Those solid, thick and strong bodies were all blue-skinned ogres.
Before pounced on the prey, the ogre curled up with its minions and rough weapons, secretly blocking the opponent. The cavalry scout who was deeply in ambush had just become alert, and the numerous ogres jumped up and rushed forward.
...The fall of every knight is a brilliant and tragic event.
The cavalry scouts sent by Yasuo were suddenly trapped in the ogre after about half an hour.
When the road to life was blocked, the cavalry scout resolutely pulled out the long sword from his waist and shouted out his promise, "Loyalty and courage are our code! Death in the battlefield, throwing blood... Glory me! Glory Lorcadan!!!"
The long sword in his hand left a deep bone-visible wound on the ogre's body, but he was also attacked by close-knits from many ogres from all directions.
The general guard cavalry named Edie finally left his saddle, his godless eyes, looking up at the horseback falling from his head. Edie opened her arms to embrace death, and her body was instantly submerged by the ogre. His body showed a crimson or brown black that had never been exposed before.
Through the mysterious data flow, the three-dimensional images seen by the cavalry scouts are reflected in Yasuo's mind.
Within a distance of one thousand meters, three cavalry scouts were attacked from three different directions, without even a gap of escape. From the place that should have been looked up to by the world, they fell to somewhere that would be wiped out by some kind of trampling and cruelty.
Yasuo's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with sharp reflections. When his palm suddenly clenched his fists, a voice from the messenger Adele said, "Stop moving forward." The thrustling shoulders of the Lorcadan army immediately froze.
The three-dimensional images in the eyes of the three cavalry scouts disappeared one after another in Yasuo's mind. Life and death, one on the back of the horse and the other under the horse, each with its own position.
The Lorcadan warriors living on horseback are not lacking in the blood and impulse to climb glory; those under the horse should not be abandoned. Because Yasuo will remember the names of the three cavalrymen, "Edy, Jeffrey." It is only because of their sacrifice - grievance and injustice.
The warriors of Lor Cardin will not bleed.
Yasuol held the reins and then said in a deep voice, "The front team is ready to defend, bow and arrows are lifted!"
The Lorcadan army would never question the general's orders at any time. Yasuo's orders had just been issued, and the former centurion was ready to fight.
But as ten minutes passed, there was still no movement ahead.
"Prepare!--"
Listening to the elongated tone of the centurion, the spear-holding soldiers and hunters standing in the front row, staring at the snowflakes and fog scattered between the trunks and leaves, looking up at the gloomy sky between the leaves uneasily, feeling like fish and shrimps under a cluster of water plants.
Five minutes later.
Experienced hunters, loosen their limbs, their ears, nostrils, and pores, let the cold smell pour in. In places without sound, listen to the indescribable sound, and the sound of horse hooves sounds from the snow!
Gradually, the sound of horse hooves came from far to near.
"It's a cavalry scout." The guard officer Leon narrowed his eyes slightly and had already seen the outline in the snow mist.
But Yasuo, as a general, slowly shook his head. He saw with his own eyes that the three cavalry scouts had died, so it was not them who came back.
Next, the guard Leon shivered, just because Yasuo's voice was extremely faint and with a cold breath, "Kill them!"
Just through the last perspective of the three cavalry scouts, Yasuo had already seen a large forest land a thousand meters ahead, densely ambushing no less than twice his enemies. The ogre's actions against the Lorcadan army were so strange that Yasuo felt strange.
Based on his current situation, Yasuo can determine that Lor Cardin has been betrayed. Yasuo already knows the person who betrayed Lor Cardin, but he doesn't have time to carefully understand his conspiracy and purpose.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The instruction has been issued.
With the gesture of the former centurion, the hunters aimed at the three figures that became clearer in the viewing curtain. The tension of the arm deformed the string. After letting go, the elastic potential energy of the bow immediately transformed into the kinetic energy of the arrow, and quickly penetrated into the curtain of large snowflakes intertwined.
Swallows!——
The arrowheads dragged the track of the air and shot at one shot. The neighing of horses came from the front, and the three "cavalry scouts" and their men and horses were almost simultaneously shot.
Later, ten men and a small team of spear soldiers rushed into the snow fog and dragged back the bodies of three "cavalry scouts".
"It's an ogre."
The centurion, guard officer, commander and others were gasping for air. The guard officer Leon suddenly realized that he was lying on the ground and wearing armor. He was wearing three ogres with abominable faces.
Just now, many eyes were deceived, and no one would have thought that the cavalry scouts would be killed in such a short time.
Lor Cardin is a border town on the Sunshine Plain. Basically every Lor Cardinal person knows that ogres are a cruel monster. Eat the brain part of humans and inherit some of the memories and turn them into the appearance of the dead before their death. This transformation technique is an innate talent of the monster like ogres.
It doesn't matter whether the three ogres transform into three cavalry scouts to deceive or assassinate them. Yasuo chose to shoot them as soon as possible, no matter which consideration it was a calm and wise expression.
His eyes slid quietly across the corpse on the ground. He recalled the scene of three cavalry scouts before his death. Even though he was extremely difficult to calm down, Yasuo's eyebrows and eyes were filled with indifference.
"There is an irreconcilable contradiction between humans and ogres. Due to the special geographical location, the hatred between the Lorcardans and ogres can only be washed with swords and blood."
"Now, it's finally time to wash away this hatred."
In the past decade, Yasuo has witnessed many Lor Cardans tragically dying at the hands of ogres, including the old Baron Achmemnon, the former Lord Lor Cardan.
The hilt of the sword inlaid with rubies was a little cold. Yasuo slowly drew his sword, and the tone of his speaking showed the unique pride and courage of the Lorcadans. "The lowly creatures are always good at using this trick of deception. The wise Lorcadans will not be blinded by the snowflakes in this winter. The Lorcadan soldiers listened! Just one thousand meters ahead of us, ogres, lurking in the shadows, trying to use the number and terrain to defeat the heroic Lorcadans."
Hearing the general's words, the soldiers of Lorcardan were generally gasping for air conditioning.
...At this moment, no one knew how the general had learned about the ogre's deception and conspiracy. But each of the soldiers knew that General Yasuo had never made any mistakes.
Those black eyes looked too sharp at this time. Even though he was only thirteen years old, he was like an eagle on the battlefield, which made people unconsciously need to look up.
Every Lorcadan listened carefully to the general's motivation and instructions.
"The ogres came from the Thorn Forest to the wet woodland, and had enough time to set traps and ambush. It is obvious that our actions have been controlled by the enemy. Next, we will not continue to go to the swamp west of Thorn Forest to join the coalition forces because... someone has betrayed the Lor Cardans! Similarly, we will not retreat, because behind us is Lor Cardans!"
More than 500 Lor Cardan soldiers had no sound in tacit understanding.
Every Lor Cardan soldier had anger in his chest, and they hated the bastard who betrayed Lor Cardan. At the same time, fighting to defend his homeland, even if he was about to bleed and sacrifice, everyone's eyes were firm and brave at this moment.
Staring at the blurry terrain ahead, Yasuo's pupils inadvertently shrank slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "The Swordsman Team, launch a provocation from the front, use the sword in your hands to tell the ogres that the Lorcadans have seen through their conspiracy."
Immediately afterwards, Yasuo's eyes turned to the other three centurions, "The three spear brigades spread left and right, and after the enemy launched an offensive, they attacked from behind. The Hunter brigade occupied favorable terrain and suppressed the enemy at a long range."
As Yasuo's tone accelerated, the four centurions each led their soldiers to take action.
Although Yasuo knew in his heart that he could lead the Lor Cardan army to withdraw from the original path, occupy Lor Cardan's territory and easily defeat the ogre invasion.
It was just that the ogres could grasp the marching time and route of Lor Cardan in advance, which made Yasuo unable to determine whether the circuit was also ambushed, and then he was trapped in a situation where he was attacked by the enemy from both sides and back.
So according to the uncertain situation in front of him, he was more inclined to seek stability in danger. He didn't confess this to the soldiers just now because Yasuo didn't want them to have some concerns in the battle.
After all, not everyone is so calm when they hear that they have to deal with both the front and the back.
Holding the long sword in his hand, Yasuo thought of the old Baron Achimemnon in his mind, and he often spoke in every battle, "My sword shines with silver light..."
This sentence involves the life of the old Baron Achmemnon, his understanding of the "Holy Light". The deep meaning of it is so far, Yasuo does not understand it. But it does not prevent him from silently reciting the same voice. "My sword shines with silver light!"
After all, this is the first time he has faced an ogre twice as much as he has in the wild since Yasuo inherited the title and became Lord Lor Cardin.
There is no doubt that this will be a challenge.
Next, the performance of Lorcadan's army was related to the outcome of the war and even the future survival of the rear territory. At this critical moment, Yasuo was enough to treat it calmly.
Yasuo took his eyes back and glanced at Adele beside him. His voice was extremely light and light, "Follow me, don't team up Adele."
In Adele's eyes, the general's facial lines were too cold and hard than the baron lord in the lord's residence. He turned his head and turned back without even waiting for her response. Even so, Adele still nodded firmly, not only respecting the general, but also cheering himself up.
Next, General Yasuo narrowed his eyes and waited for the Spear Team and the Hunter Team to leave for ten minutes. The Swords Team took neat steps, took off the round shield from the back, and advanced forward in a rigorous queue.
After checking the time, Yasuo ordered the general guards beside him, "General guards, come with me-"
