Asalon and the two wolf kings both admitted their mistakes, but they did not admit that they had an affair with the demon orcs. They only admitted that they made wrong judgments.
Reggie simply imprisoned all three of them, and then searched their territory for artillery.
Reggie did not take action himself. He handed the matter over to the Red Wolf King and asked him to personally find the murderer of his tribe.
This is respect for the Red Wolf King, and it is also the best way to avoid intensification of conflicts. The Red Wolf King also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to show off his skills in other people's territory.
Reggie is busy catching the mole, and Chris is busy subduing the general.
As he said, Qiaolu was in a desperate situation. On the way to Jiaoye City, he encountered the Demonic Orcs twice and lost nearly half of his soldiers. By the time he got close to Jiaoye City, he had lost the ability to attack the city.
Ability, because the opponent also has artillery and airships.
He could only deal with the enemy hard outside Jiaoye City, which made no sense. If Matthias did not send reinforcements, Joruus could only wait for his army to be exhausted.
Today was destined to be an unfortunate day for Qiaolu. The demon orcs were in a good mood, leading four hundred wolf cavalry, chasing Qiaolu from early morning until late at night.
Qiaolu lost one hundred and thirty soldiers and twenty-four horses. It was only after Kuei stopped chasing that the hungry warriors took their first bite of food.
Qiaolu ate nothing and sat silently in the camp all night. The next day he withdrew the camp fifty miles.
This was a message to Kui Sha. At this distance, Qiaolu's army could no longer launch an attack on Jiaoye City in one day. He hoped that Kui Sha could give him at least a day's breathing space.
After resting for a day in the camp, Qiaolu made a decision that was incomprehensible to everyone. He only had more than 330 soldiers left, and excluding more than 100 wounded soldiers, he let the remaining 200 people
There was a drill, a one-on-one fighting drill.
The battle has reached this point, and every soldier doesn't know whether he can survive until tomorrow. Under such circumstances, what's the point of training?
Qiaolu requires all soldiers to practice weapons with real swords and guns, which means that during the training process, casualties may occur.
The soldiers had too many doubts, but they never questioned the general's orders. This was Joruus' personal charm.
They practiced from early morning to night. Under Qiaolu's restraint, no one died due to the drill, but more than half of the soldiers were injured to varying degrees, and there were no more than a hundred able-bodied soldiers.
Next, Qiaolu issued the final order to the army, and all personnel immediately escorted the wounded soldiers back to the capital.
From officers to soldiers, everyone was stunned. It was only now that they figured out Qiaolu's intentions. According to the laws of the White Tower, injured soldiers can leave the battlefield without accepting any blame or punishment with the permission of the general.
, when two wounded soldiers leave the battlefield at the same time, they can be escorted by a healthy soldier.
The proportion of injured soldiers has exceeded two-thirds, and the remaining less than one-third of the healthy people should be their escorts. The purpose of Qiaolu's move is to allow the entire army to evacuate without suffering any punishment.
This is a way of life that Qiaolu left for the soldiers. Needless to say, there are no more sensational words. Some officers begged to stay, and some soldiers were willing to fight to the end. But Qiaolu had already issued an order, and everyone must leave.
Early the next morning, Jolu was the only one left in the camp. He opened the backpack left by the quartermaster and took out a can of wine, a piece of bacon, a sausage, and two pounds of bread.
He ate all the food, shaved off his beard, trimmed his hair, put on his armor, and mounted his war horse according to the tradition of the White Tower people.
He loaded the musket, tied twenty grenades around his waist, and rode his horse towards Jiaoye City.
This was the last battle in his life. Although the outcome of the battle was not in suspense, he had to kill at least one enemy. This was the last dignity Qiaolu left for himself.
The sentry rider sent news to Kui Sha that Qiu Lu was rushing to Jiaoye City alone. Kui Sha was very excited and decided to go out to fight in person and capture Qiu Lu alive.
But Kuisu waited for several hours under the city, but did not see Qiaolu. Finally, two injured sentries sent news. Several soldiers of unknown origins attacked Qiaolu midway and killed him.
Caught away.
Kui suddenly became careless. He really wanted to use a heroic duel to take Joruus under his command. Otherwise, with Jolu's little strength, it would be impossible to sustain him until now.
It's rare for Kui Sha to put so much thought into a human being, but just before he was about to succeed, he was cut off by others.
Alice has planted many spies in Tower Top City, and some spies have even sneaked into the Senate. According to the news from the spy gate, Mathias has no idea of reinforcements, and there is no possibility of rescuing Jolu.
Since it wasn’t done by people from the White Tower? Who could it be?
According to the Sentinels, there were only eight of them. They defeated six Orc Sentinels without using muskets. Two of the Sentinels were killed, two came back to report the news, and two more were still there.
The enemy is following behind.
When the number of people was basically equal, it was definitely not an ordinary character who could defeat the Orc Sentinel Rider. The angry Kui Mo had no time to make more inferences. He directly sent out a pursuit group and issued a kill order. Except for Qiaolu
, all enemies will be killed without mercy.
After the order was issued, fifty of the most powerful orc cavalry followed the marks left by the sentinels and launched a pursuit.
Joruus, who was lying in the carriage, was helpless. He wanted to die like a hero, but he never imagined that when his blood gradually boiled, he was knocked to the ground by a sap. When he woke up, he had been tied up by others.
Zongzi endured the bumps and bumps in the dark and narrow carriage.
Qiaolu was the only one in the carriage, and the sound of wheels and horse hooves was very rapid. Qiaolu didn't yell after he woke up. He knew that the person who robbed him was in a bad situation. He didn't want to anger him or cause unnecessary trouble.
excessive behavior.
When he went to Jiaoye City, Qiao Lu was ready to die, but now he didn't want to die that much. A famous person who was going to die in an upright manner, at least couldn't die in the hands of a group of robbers with unknown origins.
After a few hours of jolting, there was a sound outside the carriage.
"Did you clean it up?"
"There was only one wolf cavalry who was following, and I shot him to death with one arrow."
"Well done, don't use your gun. There are a lot of Matthias' spies around here."
Qiaolu knew both of these voices.
One is his ward, Pegdon.
The other is the general of the Lion Kingdom, Sandos.
Since saving Qiaolu's life, Pegdon has stayed in Qiaolu's army. Now he is supposed to escort the wounded soldiers to the capital. Why is he entangled with the general of the Lion Kingdom?
Now that he met an old acquaintance, Qiaolu was a little confused whether to continue pretending to be asleep or to say a word.
In the end, he chose to speak.
"General Sandos, if you don't mind, could you let my subordinates untie me first?"
