The group of four people and one dog did not ride horses, but walked on the mountain trail and went straight to the medical research base.
In the Andis Mountains, even though the Yongye Army has built a large number of roads and the traffic is relatively smooth, for a knight like Sean, the fastest way is to walk. After all, the roads are determined according to the terrain. In order to go around a mountain
Or a river, which will turn a long way.
Most of the rugged mountain roads were like walking on flat ground under their feet.
Bringing Tagore along was also a decision made after repeated hesitations. All the tricks that should be used have been used. Even a hard-hearted person should make a hole. Moreover, Tagore's tendencies revealed during this period are generally good.
It's not that he agrees with the system of the Yongye Group Army, but that he agrees with the powerful force displayed by it. Although he is sometimes stubborn, he has already admitted in his heart that the failure of the Walled City Alliance is inevitable.
, plus he doesn’t have much identification or sense of belonging to the Walled City Alliance itself.
This is a common problem of the Walled City Alliance. It is a patchwork organization with many internal hilltops. It has neither its own core ideas nor a leader who can convince the masses. It is strange that it can bring recognition and a sense of belonging to the people below.
At first, Tagore was still critical of Sean's strength. After all, Skullcrusher McGee was already a serious champion knight, so how could he be suppressed by a young boy?
However, the longer the contact lasted, the more Tagore discovered that Sean was not simple. Except for personal force, they were only crushed in all other aspects.
When Tagore was the grass-headed king in the mountains and had only a few hundred people under him, he didn't feel much about it. However, after more than a year in the Walled City Alliance, more and more people under him gathered, and his lack of management experience was undoubtedly exposed.
.
The generals and generals who surrendered to him were always fighting for a little profit every day. They also had endless things to do with Sishui City and the Sandong League. They were like a swarm of flies surrounding him, buzzing and noisy.
His head hurt, and sometimes he had to pull out the big knife and cut them all into pieces one by one.
The scale of the Yongye Group Army is dozens of times larger than the thousands of people he controls. Not only is it well organized by Sean, it can also spare a lot of time to do its own things and make decisions.
In fact, what Tagore envied most was not Sean, but Mikey the Skull Crusher. He spent most of his time doing nothing, either drinking from a large bowl or eating large chunks of meat, or honing his martial arts skills and going to the school grounds to compete with others.
Or show off your muscles in front of your soldiers, train with them for a few weeks, and build relationships.
Needless to say, the weapons and equipment used were all tailor-made. Tagore was drooling when he saw it. Before he saw the opponent's equipment, he felt that the big blade he used was quite powerful and impressive, but it was the same as the opponent's.
Comparatively, the knives used by other low-level officers are better than our own.
After making some calculations, if I could live a life like Skullcrusher McGee, that would seem pretty good.
What's more, Sean's age is there, and his biggest weakness, personal strength, is getting worse every day. Compared with himself back then, he seems to be slightly inferior.
You can't crucify two of your champion knights just for Tagore.
Sean decided to slowly lengthen the line tied to Tagore, and then decided to take countermeasures based on the other party's reaction.
If Tagore could still kill Sean after such a long period of tenderness, it would prove that the other person was an immature wolf and could be chopped cleanly into pieces to avoid wasting time.
If the opponent simply slips away, at most the Walled City Alliance will have one more top-notch force, which will not have much impact on the current situation. I dare not say that I can capture the opponent again, but an enemy who knows the basics will be easier to deal with.
For sure.
If the other party can stay calm, it means their method is working.
Creating opportunities for the other party to assassinate him, even if he is fully prepared, Sean will not try such a stupid thing.
However, it is true that along the way, Sean intentionally or unintentionally created a gap for Tagore to escape.
I don’t know whether Tagore was slow to react and didn’t notice, or whether the life in the Yongye Army had made him reluctant to miss Shu.
Except for the excitement of some tigers returning to the mountains when entering the forest, there was nothing unusual.
Those ferocious beasts had very long noses. If they smelled their breath, they would hide far away and no one would jump out to feed them.
In just one day and one night, four people and one dog covered more than 150 kilometers of mountain roads. The next day, when the sky was still dim, they entered the medical research base.
In the Hexagonal Walled Fortress, the lights were brightly lit, and a large number of medical personnel came and went, creating a busy scene, indicating that something unusual was indeed happening.
Someone had been waiting for Sean for a long time. They didn't even take the time to wash his face. They dragged him to the autopsy room and gave him a rough introduction to the situation as they walked.
"The situation inside the mountain was discovered by a cavalry team that entered the mountain. This is Carter, the captain of that cavalry team. He will introduce the specific situation."
The captain of the cavalry, Carter, is a typical Andis man. He is not tall, but short and strong. Both his arms and thighs are thicker than ordinary people. His fingers are slightly longer and his knuckles are thick. He should be an excellent eagle shooter.
His hands, face are deeply wrinkled, and his hair is half gray, which shows that he has passed the best age of his life. Otherwise, with his knight-level strength, he should be selected into the main army instead of becoming a cavalry captain.
This is not to belittle the members of the cavalry, but in the Eternal Night Legion, there has long been a culture of pride in joining the main force of the Eternal Night Legion. Only those who have no hope of joining for various reasons will consider choosing other industries.
Captain Carter looked honest and dull, as if he couldn't beat a fart with eight sticks, but when he opened his mouth, it was obvious that he was not that person. Except for a slight stumble at the beginning because it was the first time he met the supreme commander of the Eternal Night Army, the more he spoke, the more he became more and more confused.
fluent.
Thinking about it, being able to become a cavalry captain in a line requires more than just personal strength. You must also have a good mouth so that you can easily deal with those mountain people.
"Our road has been basically developed and mature. It needs to climb a total of eight big mountains and 12 small mountains, covering a distance of 300 kilometers, 15 villages with thousands of traders, and 32 small villages with more than 100 people.
There are countless places where dozens of people gather. Winter is about to begin, and there is a huge demand for winter supplies in the mountains, so this time we are planning to walk the entire journey. We just hit the road the day before yesterday and encountered several strange things."
"The first strange thing is that there are wild beasts following us. You must know that we are a large team of dozens of people and hundreds of mules and horses. There are dozens of hounds accompanying us. It would be good if we don't go to trouble with those wild beasts.
At first, we didn’t take it to heart. It wasn’t until we stopped at the third gathering point that we realized the problem was more serious than we thought. There was a wild beast attack at that gathering place. The scene was horrifying.
Not a single one of the men, women, or children was left alive, only a pile of gnawed bones left in pieces."
"The beast attacked the gathering place? Killed the entire gathering place?" Sean interrupted Captain Carter's vivid description with a surprised look on his face.
In the eyes of the Byron people, the Andis Mountains are a wild land, a world of wild beasts. The people of the Andis Mountains live a precarious life all day long, facing the threat of being attacked by wild beasts and reduced to food at any time.
However, Sean, who has lived in the mountains for more than ten years, knows that this is not the case at all. The beasts in the Andis Mountains are indeed generally larger in size and more ferocious in temperament, but it is the Andis people who are in the hunting position.
Under normal circumstances, even the largest Andis giant bears would avoid the gathering places of the Andis people. This is a way of survival developed through years of conflict.
In many incidents of wild beasts attacking people, most of them happened when they met on a narrow road and bumped into each other accidentally. The wild beast was in a state of panic and launched an attack. Most of them killed and wounded people and then fled away. Even if they were cannibals, most of them were not the first attackers, but the ones who attacked later.
Scavengers who come smelling the smell of blood.
Wild beasts actively attack Andis village gathering places, which are really rare. Most of them occur in the cold winter, when food is scarce, and the predators are forced to take desperate measures.
Although it has already entered winter, food is still far from being scarce. No wonder Sean was surprised that such a vicious beast attacked the gathering place, and killed all the mountain people in a gathering place. It was definitely not just one or two hunters.
Eaters can do it.
"What kind of beast is it made of? Mountain wolf?" Sean's first thought was of mountain wolves with their group hunting habits.
Carter, the captain of the cavalry team, showed a slightly strange look and said: "It's true that it was done by a pack of wolves, but it's not a mountain wolf, but a prairie wolf, a prairie wolf from the Odin Prairie!"
"Steppenwolf!?" Sean felt like he was listening to a ridiculous story, many things that didn't fit in with the story.
Not only was there an attack by a vicious beast, but the murderer was not a native beast of the Andes Mountains. The coyote changed its living habits for no reason and ran into the mountains.
"It should be correct. We captured several on the way back. Although they were carcasses, after some brothers from the prairie identified them, they were indeed prairie wolves." Carter, the captain of the cavalry team, replied.
"There is nothing surprising about this. There is a great rift valley in the northernmost part of the mountain range, which can lead directly to the Odin Prairie. Let alone the steppe wolves, if there is a great disaster in the prairie, the Odin orcs will not be able to survive the Broken Mouth Blood Castle.
If we break through the gap, it is possible to enter the mountain from this direction and loot, but the mountains there are more complicated, there are fewer villages, and the Odin orcs are not very adapted to the mountain environment, so they rarely do this."
The one who suddenly intervened was Tagore, the Andis tiger. His original main activity range was the north, and he obviously knew the situation there very well.
"So the Odin Grassland encountered a catastrophe? The grassland wolves were forced to go into the mountains to look for food?" Sean asked.
The eagle eyes spread by the Eternal Night Army were mainly aimed at the Byron Alliance. Due to geographical reasons, they subconsciously believed that the Odin Orcs on the Odin Prairie were far away from them, and did not pay them much attention. Unexpectedly, Andis Mountain
There is something directly connected with the other party.
No one in the Yongye Group Army paid attention to this aspect, which must be said to be a huge mistake.
"I'm not sure about this." Tagore shrugged, "But judging from past experience, it is indeed a bit abnormal. These steppe wolves are too deep, and the time is not right. Whether it is the steppe wolf or the big orc of Odin,
Large-scale invasions mostly occur in the middle of winter or early spring, when food is most scarce."
"It's not necessarily a large-scale locust plague on the grassland."
Compared with agricultural civilization, nomadic civilizations like the Odin Orcs are less resistant to natural disasters. Whether it is a locust plague or a snowstorm, they will be forced into desperate situations. In order to deflect the damage caused by such disasters and survive,
It is inevitable to launch wars abroad and plunder wealth and food.
Therefore, nomadic civilization is obviously more aggressive than agricultural civilization. Civilizations that take pleasure in invading and destroying other civilizations are not non-existent, but they are still a minority.
Judging from the history of Ashan, neither the Odin Orcs nor the Andis are as evil and ferocious as the Byronians said. Most of the invasions of the Byron Alliance occurred during times of famine.
However, the more this happens, the more cruel it will be once an invasion war occurs, because both sides are trying to survive, and the contradictions cannot be reconciled at all.
From your own perspective, no matter whether the other party is evil or not, you cannot tolerate any mercy.
"This news is very important. Please notify the Military Staff Department immediately and ask them to send out sentries to investigate the situation, investigate the cause, and come up with corresponding emergency plans."
Sean issued a series of orders and returned to the military staff station through Shan Ying.
More mountain eagles quickly flew out from the military staff station, and soon the behemoth of the Yongye Army began to move. Each of the hundred-man guards were the tentacles of this huge tentacle monster, and began to consciously move to the northwest.
For emergencies, the Yongye Group Army has its own emergency plan procedures. It will take certain restraint measures according to the situation to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. Typically, it will defend first and then counterattack.
"Although this news is important, it's not to the extent of sending a message without content to attract me, right?"
Sean's doubts not only did not subside but became more intense. This was a major military aircraft issue related to the entire Yongye Army. Even if it was to be prudent, the Flying Eagle Messenger and the Courier would just send him a double message. Why did he need to go to the medical research base in person?
?
On the way here, Sean had been speculating about which extremely confidential project in the medical research base had encountered an unsolvable problem and needed help from his brain, or had made some breakthrough.
"If it was just an invasion of prairie wolves, it wouldn't be enough to bother the general. However, one of the prairie wolf corpses they sent had some abnormalities, which were consistent with the anatomical data about the Odin orcs of the Leopard Tribe sent by the general.
Similar anomalies, we have no way to determine this. We need your Excellency the General to confirm it in person. Captain Carter, please describe the special situation of the wolf to Your Excellency the General."
The person who started to explain was the staff member of the medical research base who led the way at the beginning, but judging from the professionalism he introduced, he should be a direct participant in this dissection.
The topic of anatomy is taboo in the Byron League. In the Evernight Army, at least in the medical research base, it is an open secret. Some old people are still taboo on this aspect. Young people with relatively strong receptive ability are very open to this aspect.
