While Yun Feng and the others were worrying about purifying the source of the plague, Apophis Breo and his party were about to arrive at their destination, Lao Pass.
The Old Pass, also called the High Pass, is one of the few passes that can cross the Misty Mountains. It is located east of Rivendell. Its range ends at Rivendell in the west, and from there the East Road winds up into the mountains, passing Goblins on the way.
The town. There are actually two passages for crossing the mountain, but the lower passage is blocked by orcs and goblins, and most travelers only use the lower passage during the short period when the orcs are pacified.
High channel.
…
"Damn it! I hate floating on the water!" Apophis Breo said with an ugly expression. Even after being out of the water for so long, he still hated that feeling.
"Sir, it's been a long time since we got off the ship!" Olaf reminded him as he scratched his head. After all, the sequelae have been here for a long time.
"It's okay, I just hate the feeling of swaying! It's never as good as being down-to-earth on a war horse." Apophis Breo complained with a frown.
"..." The corners of Olaf's eyes twitched. Good guy, do you want to listen to what you are saying? What does it mean to keep your feet on the ground on a war horse? In total, the horseback is no more bumpy than the water?
"Alas! Let everyone find a place to shelter from the rain and camp and rest! Tomorrow we will head to the Misty Mountains!" Apophis Breo waved his fist in the distance. It seemed that he had already grasped thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and restored his family.
With glory and splendor, he became the most powerful prince in the north!
"Oh!" Looking at Apophis Breo who was deep in thought, Olaf and the other officers shook their heads incomprehensibly, and went down to arrange things, leaving Apophis Breo alone looking at the towering
I don’t know what the misty mountains of clouds are doing to sadden spring and autumn.
…
"Hey! Boss, what's going on? Look at that longing look. The little daughter-in-law from our house next door has this look on her face every day, looking forward to her man coming home!" A captain of ten men quietly poked the person next to him.
"I don't know! But I know that the boss has been very excited these days!" said another ten captain.
"Hey, hey, hey! Isn't it fun to gossip behind your back? Why don't you come over and get to work! The soldiers are busy setting up the camp, and the officers ran to the side to chat! Are you cool?" Olaf frowned and came over to pat a few times.
An officer chatting.
"Lord Centurion!"
"Hello, sir!"
The officers stood up quickly, beat their chests and saluted. The group of people who had just been gossiping about their lord Apophis Breo were now as obedient as a flock of quails, listening respectfully to Olaf's reprimand.
"What's wrong with Olaf?" Another centurion looked over.
"It's okay!" Olaf waved his hand to cover several people.
"Why don't you hurry up and help!" Olaf kicked his feet angrily.
Several captains of ten immediately ran away laughing. Olaf shook his head helplessly when he saw this. Along the way, the bad weather, constant harassment, simple food, ventilated tents, and difficult conditions made everyone stressed.
It was so big that Olaf could clearly feel the tight thread in their bodies, but in order to achieve the set goal, everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth and move forward, so along the way, whether it was Apophis Breo or other officers, they had to pay close attention to the soldiers.
Very tolerant.
"Alas!" Olaf sighed and decided to go find the big knight and ask.
…
"The soldiers are stretched too tight. Their strings are almost unstretchable." Olaf shook his head and said. He was very pessimistic about the current situation. Not to mention the soldiers, even the officers had no morale at all. The entire expeditionary force
There was a smell of anxiety in the air.
"I understand, but everyone still has to persevere! After this battle is over and we have a firm footing, everything will be different!" Apophis Breo appeared behind Olaf at some point, and he took a picture
He patted Olaf on the shoulder and said heavily.
"We now need a stable foothold to operate and develop! If we can't take over the old pass..." The Lord Knight of King's Landing shook his head.
"We will return from this expedition in vain!" Apophis Breo took over.
"Not only are the soldiers anxious, but I am also anxious! All hopes for the revival of the King's Landing family are pinned there! King Roland will not give me a second chance, and I will not have a second chance to try!" Apophis
Breo's eyes gradually became firmer. He stared at the mountains in the distance. He knew that if he failed this time, King Roland would naturally not be able to give him a second chance to recruit soldiers. His recruitment of private soldiers had already been ignored.
King Roland was very dissatisfied. After all, every time he recruited a soldier, the kingdom lost one strong adult man.
"Don't worry, we will succeed! The Fenwu warriors will risk their lives to repay the Junlin family for their kindness in protecting us!" Olaf hammered his chest.
"Knights of King's Landing will always serve the King's Landing family! Be loyal to the name Breo!" the Lord Knight also said firmly.
"It is important that you all work together as one! But our strategy cannot be sloppy in the slightest! Our error tolerance rate is too low!" Apophis Breo thoughtfully forgot about the busy soldiers outside and did not continue.
Go down.
"..." Olaf, another centurion and the great knight also looked at each other and nodded.
The scarcity of numbers meant that they had no option to attack by force during this trip. They had to either outwit or sneak attack. However, I think the success rate of a sneak attack should be higher. Outwit... Orcs don't have much intelligence!
"But the premise of everything is that we reach the old pass first without the orcs noticing!" Apophis Breo clicked on the location of the old pass on the map!
Don’t forget, Apophis Breo has an imperial outpost in his hands! That thing can be called a miniature fortress, a youthful version of a castle. Once it is established in a mountainous area where heavy siege equipment cannot be deployed, it is like one man to defeat thousands of people.
Fumokai! But the most important problem now is how to capture the old pass without alerting the orcs. As for who will look at who's face after getting it! Anyway, Apophis Breo doesn't think a tower stands tall
The small fortress on the top of the mountain is something that those dirty crawlers can breach.
"It seems we don't have much time!" Another centurion said solemnly. Every second they stay here is another second more likely to be discovered by the orcs.
"Even so, we can only set out tomorrow morning! Otherwise the soldiers won't be able to bear it anymore!" Apophis Breo shook his head. The hunger and cold had already oppressed every soldier's nerves, and even the most basic rest was...
Apophis Breo was afraid that the soldiers would do evil to the officers during the battle.
