Chapter 711 The Seventh Army
"Want to run?" Black sneered.
Not long ago, he failed to fight against the orcs because there was such a scum in the army. Black immediately bent his bow and arrow and shot out one arrow.
call out!
The arrow drew an arc and penetrated Oka's chest directly. This deserter, who was only one step away from the Knight, had no power to fight back in front of Black.
Then, Black waved.
The soldiers under his command immediately stepped forward and dealt with all the deserters, and then looked at the tavern.
Several veterans hurriedly walked out.
"Desergeant?" Black's face turned cold.
Since the defeat on the front line, the Seventh Army was dispersed by orcs, and a large number of deserters appeared. They lost the constraints of discipline and began to burn, kill and loot the civilians, which was almost no different from the bandits.
"No! Lord Black."
Hearing the words of the Legion Commander Black, Glen was startled and quickly straightened his back, performed the soldiers' etiquette of the Tucker Kingdom, and whispered loudly, ": Tucker Kingdom, Seventh Army, Twelfth Battalion, and the Ninth Team Soldier Glen reported to you!"
"Tuck Kingdom, the Seventh Army, the Twelfth Battalion, and the Ninth Team Soldier Ailin reports to you!"
"Tuck Kingdom, the Seventh Army, the Twelfth Battalion, and the Ninth Army Private Dominic report to you!"
"Tuck Kingdom, the Seventh Army, the Twelfth Battalion, and the Ninth Team Soldier Max reported to you!"
"Tuck Kingdom, the Seventh Army..."
Several veterans saluted one by one and reported their identities to the Legion Commander, but Black's face was still extremely cold.
In his eyes, the soldiers who appeared here were obviously deserters.
"Report to the Lord Commander of the Legion."
At this time, Glen quickly took out a wrinkled letter from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Black and said, ": The subordinates were ordered by Roy, the centurion of the 12th Battalion, to escort the wounded soldiers back to the kingdom."
Black took the letter and a sudden look appeared on his face.
"So you were ordered by Roy."
Black's face calmed down and he whispered, "I almost misunderstood you, what's going on with the wounded?"
As he said that, Black turned over and dismounted.
Glen and several other veterans breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a hint of excitement appeared on their faces. As the commander of the Seventh Army, Blake was famous for his fair protection of his shortcomings and had a high prestige among the soldiers at the bottom of the Tucker Kingdom.
Black walked straight into the tavern.
When he saw the wounded soldiers who were tilted and even the rotten corpses, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared on his face and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers, the kingdom will not forget your efforts."
"It's all for the Kingdom!"
Hearing Black's words, Glen's face became even more excited, and even a trace of tears appeared in his eyes. He felt that his efforts were worth it.
In the corner, Enzo's eyes flashed.
According to the memory in the mind of this body, the commander of the Seventh Legion, Black, in front of him, seemed to be a very powerful knight, with noble and trustworthy quality, and a high reputation among the soldiers at the bottom.
"What's going on?"
At this time, Black looked at the ground again, and asked several stinky corpses.
"Sorry, Lord Legion."
A hint of sadness appeared on Glen's face and said, ": These children died on the battlefield. According to the customs of their hometown, they should return to their roots, so they were led by us with the wounded soldiers."
"The whole world is the same, where does a man not work for his home?"
Black shook his head and said, "As long as you sacrifice for the people, you will be the heroes of the kingdom who are buried there!"
"If the gas is hot today, I will be buried on the spot."
Hearing Black's words, Glen's eyes were filled with tears. He never expected that in the eyes of the Legion Commander, these soldiers who died on the front line could also be called heroes, so he nodded immediately.
Then, Black began to take over here.
He first ordered his subordinates to treat several injuries and diseases, and then took Ge Lan and others to a slope outside the village, dug out several tomb pits and buried the corpses one by one.
"May your souls be at peace!"
Black looked serious, took a broken sword on his body, buried it in the pit with his body, and said, ": In the name of the commander of the Seventh Legion, Black, the Kingdom will never forget you. After repelling the orcs, you will all be the heroes of the Kingdom!"
Glen and others had tears in their eyes and were extremely respectful of Black.
Not far away, Enzo leaned on a wooden stick, and a trace of thought appeared on his face. It has to be said that this Black Legion Commander does have great personal charm.
As the saying goes, a man dies for his confidant!
In the army, the biggest expectation of the soldiers at the bottom is to make achievements, and being loyal to a trustworthy commander will naturally get more opportunities.
After the simple funeral, everyone returned to the small village.
Enzo was leaning on a wooden stick and trying not to attract attention. He looked around and found that the Black Legion commander had only about one hundred soldiers under his command, many of whom were injured and looked very tired.
"Sir Legion."
After returning to the village, Glen hesitated and asked, ": Ask me presumptuously, how is Lord Roy now?"
Centurion Roy is the direct commander of Glen and others.
Compared to the big shot Black, Roy is the chief officer he often comes into contact with in the eyes of several veterans.
"Three days ago, Roy was already dead in battle."
A hint of sadness appeared on Black's face and sighed, ": The orcs that invaded the borders of the kingdom this time are the gnoll tribes and the tiger tribes. The Seventh Army has almost been wiped out, and the situation is no longer controlled."
"Sir Roy, died in battle?"
Ge Lan's face changed and she suddenly became pale, murmured, "How could this happen? Can't even stop the Seventh Army?"
Black didn't say anything, his face felt a little sad.
As the commander of the Seventh Army, he originally had 20,000 soldiers under his command, but after the bloody battle with the orcs, he almost wiped out the entire army. It was not that the Seventh Army was not brave enough, but that the orcs were too fierce this time.
In the south of the Tucker Kingdom, it is the grassland where orcs survive.
Whether it is the gnolls or the tiger race, they are all large orcs. They rely on their racial advantages to be very powerful on the battlefield. Although they would have had friction with the Tucker Kingdom in previous years, they never thought they would be as fierce as this time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "It's going to change..." Black murmured onto himself while sitting on the rock.
At this time, the soldiers under their command came over. They had just searched the small village and confirmed that there were no other deserters, but they did not find many useful resources.
In recent times, the small village has been ravaged by deserters many times.
Due to the chaotic situation, the civilians lived in dire straits. Most of the indigenous people in the village chief went to big cities to escape their lives, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, guarding the few leftover food to wait for death.
"Is there any next order for the Kingdom?"
Gelan hesitated for a moment and looked at Black with anticipation. Although the battle situation on the front line failed, as long as he met the Legion Commander Black, it would seem like he had a support for several veterans.
But Black shook his head, his face very gloomy.
This time the Seventh Army was defeated by the orcs, and Black, as the commander of the legion, could not refuse to blame. Although this defeat was not his fault, no matter what, the military law was unruly, and Black would be punished by the kingdom.
At this moment, even the General of the Hundred Battles, Black felt a little confused.
When he returned to the kingdom, he didn't know what situation he would face. Black had already sent the news back to the capital. The most important thing now is to send additional troops to the front line to resist the orc invasion.
Otherwise, once the front line is completely defeated, the kingdom will be in danger.
...
Three hours later, the small village.
Due to the defeat of the Seventh Army, Black could only take a short rest here with the only remaining soldiers.
Glen and several other veterans went to the nearby forest to hunt.
In the vast forest, several veterans moved forward cautiously. As archers, Ailin had already bent his bow and targeted a rabbit not far away, and then quickly shot an arrow.
call out!
The arrow hit the target, and a smile appeared on Ailin's face. For several veterans, since they met Black in a small village, they naturally had to follow each other. Hunting in the forest is also to collect resources.
You know, Black has more than a hundred soldiers around him.
The food consumed every day is a very important thing. Black is unwilling to indulge his subordinates to plunder civilians, so he can only collect resources through hunting. Fortunately, the prey in the forest is still abundant this season.
Seeing Ailin shooting the rabbit, Enzo walked up and picked it up.
"It's a good recovery, Enzo."
Seeing that Enzo could walk, a hint of joy appeared on his face, but at the same time he was confused.
He remembered clearly how serious Enzo was injured before.
The heart can almost be seen in the chest torn by the werewolf's claws. Even if you survive by chance, you shouldn't be able to walk so quickly.
"Just lucky."
Enzo smiled and shook his head, and a vague pain came from his chest. This body was just an ordinary person, so the wound naturally could not heal so quickly. The best choice should be to lie in the bed.
But the current situation obviously does not have this opportunity.
Enzo could only take the initiative to ask and follow the veterans to the forest to see if he could find some special herbs to speed up his body's recovery.
Afterwards, everyone continued to hunt.
Enzo looked around and the chip scanning function was turned on. He found that in a corner not far away, a zigzag grass seemed to be a healing drug. So he took it quietly and stuffed it into his mouth while everyone was not paying attention.
Suddenly, the pain in the chest was relieved a little.
Step by step!
Suddenly, a sika deer appeared in the forest. Ailin's eyes lit up, and he quickly bent his bow and arrow and shot out an arrow.
“Beautiful job!”
As the arrow shot out, the sika deer fell to the ground, and a hint of surprise appeared on Glen's face and praised loudly.
A trace of pride also appeared on Ailin's face.
As the only archer in the team, although his archery skills are not a hit, they are also a hit with a hundred steps. Hunting in the forest is naturally no problem. Killing this sika deer is enough for the soldiers to have a good meal.
Then, Ailin walked forward and prepared to bring his prey back to the camp.
However, just as he approached the sika deer, a poisonous snake with a triangular head quietly spit out a letter on the branch next to him.
The next moment, the poisonous snake rushed towards the unprepared Ailin.
"Be careful!" Gelan exclaimed.
call out!
At this moment, a dagger shot out like a flying knife, nailing the poisonous snake to the trunk. Ailin was shocked and sweated in cold sweat.
"Black Ring Snake?"
Ailin's face was pale. As an old hunter, he naturally knew this kind of snake. The black ring snake was called a deadly killer. The venom was enough to kill the buffalo. Without a special antidote, ordinary people would undoubtedly die if they were bitten by it.
"You made it? Enzo."
At this moment, Ailin suddenly noticed that the dagger was Enzo's, which meant that he had saved him just now.
Not far away, Enzo nodded slightly.
Although this body is just an ordinary person, with a chip, Enzo can easily hit the dagger and save Ailin from the mouth of the poisonous snake.
"Good boy, when will I practice flying knives?"
Next to him, Ge Lan looked surprised. In his memory, Enzo was always a timid and shy child, and even the veterans would blush. Although he would not escape on the battlefield, he did not have much courage to fight with orcs.
Enzo smiled and said nothing.
"It's getting late, so it's time to go back."
Gelan did not ask questions either. Seeing that it was getting dark, he greeted Ailin and others and dragged his prey back to the small village.
At this moment, almost all the indigenous people ran away.
The only remaining elderly, weak, sick and disabled originally planned to hide in the village and wait for death, but now they are protected by Black, and safety is not a problem.
Around the small village, Black's soldiers were on high alert.
Although according to the situation on the front line, the possibility of orcs invading here is not high, with Black's cautious personality, he did not allow any carelessness. During the temporary rest of the village, sentries were arranged at each entrance.
As the last ray of afterglow in the sky disappeared, night fell quietly.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The soldiers sent out to hunt returned to the small village one after another, and the prey they brought back was enough for the troops to do for five days. A smile appeared on Black's face, and he ordered the soldiers to cook food and sent some to the residents of the village.
Everyone sat around the fire and began to enjoy dinner.
Enzo swallowed a piece of barbecue in small mouth, and continued to absorb the memory left by the body in his mind, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
The original owner of this body is just an ordinary country child.
He joined the army after his parents died. His understanding of this world was limited to the Tucker Kingdom and the orcs in the south.
"Soldiers and Defeat..."
Enzo's eyes flashed slightly. In the memory of this body, the most profound thing is a method of training in the army, which is the best way for ordinary soldiers to become officers, some similar to the knight's breathing method.
Soldiers and decisive!
As the name suggests, the practice technique specially prepared for soldiers can allow soldiers to be promoted to the knight realm in the shortest time, but the disadvantage is that during the practice, the body will continue to suffer hidden injuries.
"Continuously overdraw your vitality and gain powerful strength."
