After Ryan and Elendo thought that their intelligence had been submitted, General Keenster, the chief of the Thor Garrison garrison, would meet with him once, to understand the situation face-to-face, but who knew to wait and wait, there was no movement after waiting for more than ten days.
In these dozen days, the orc wolf cavalry is becoming more and more rampant, not only pushing their blockade 10 kilometers south, but also pushing into the area 10 kilometers outside the Thor Fortress several times. The area that can be seen on the fortress wall.
As General Keenst said, the general meeting should come. With the emergence of an orc army, the orc army came one after another outside the city of Thor.
General Keynst immediately raised the alert of Thor ’s Fortress to the highest level, and arranged for the soldiers to take part in guard day and night, in case the orc army could attack at any time. Some subordinates made a speech to General Keenst, suggesting that while the orc army was camping, they would send heavy cavalry to assault them, perhaps to obtain unexpected benefits. But General Keanst, who was guarded, worried about the ambush of the orcs, rejected the proposal on the spot, and issued a strict order: "Every warrior is executed on the spot for treason!"
As a result, the garrison of Thor ’s Fortress stood on the wall watching the orcs 50,000 troops line up in a square formation, and waited about ten kilometers away from themselves, and further away, more than 50,000 orcs set up camps day and night. .
After being busy for three days, the orc camp was built about fifteen kilometers away from the Thor Fortress. The whole camp is more than ten kilometers long and divided into several parts. On the outer side of the camp, facing the side of the Thor Fortress, the orcs dug out criss-crossing pits. Each deep pit is ten meters wide and at least five meters deep. At a glance, it is known to be used to prevent human sneak attacks and cavalry assaults. Not all of these deep pits have been dug through. There will be about 10 meters of intervals around every 100 meters that are not passive. That will be the passageway for the orc army to dispatch.
After these passages, the orcs used the excavated mud to pile up earth hills about three meters high. Most of them were stationed by orc shooters. As long as these earth hills are held, they can stand high and prevent human forces from entering these orcish camps from these passages. Under such strict defense, the human army will pay a very painful price to successfully cross the pit and enter the orc camp.
In the most central part of all the camps, a ten-meter-high earth hill was piled up, and a rather huge tent was built under the earth hill. I believe that it was the residence of the highest leader of the orc army, and the other camps were like stars. The arch-like central guard. Then the scene of the orc's stay made the Garrison Garrison stunned, and a full of 400,000 troops entered the camp in an orderly manner. All of their soldiers, all of them clenched tightly, were all made of iron weapons.
Although the Fortress of Thunder was far away from the orc camp, it was almost impossible to see clearly with the naked eye. Although General Keenster did not allow the garrison to fight, it did not mean that General Keenster would not send a squad to investigate. Those orcish armies that were waiting in line didn't even bother with these scouts on horseback. They only warned with bows and arrows when they approached themselves.
These scouts brought back all the news that surprised General Keenster: the elite orc army of 400,000, all equipped with iron weapons. Although this iron weapon is worse than the steel weapon equipped by the most elite army of mankind, it has reached And surpasses the weapon level of ordinary human army. The orc army soldiers are full of spirit, high morale, and have a strong fighting power.
The more terrible news is that in the passage between the orc camp and the beast blood fort, there will be a military camp about every ten kilometers. Although the number of people in each military camp is only a few thousand, but if you want to attack the orcs, The supply line is almost impossible, because as long as the orc ’s transport force stringed the ox carts that transported food with iron ropes and used it as an obstacle to stay in place for an hour, more than 10,000 people could get support. There are only 10,000 human cavalry in the Thunder Fortress, and even if they are sent out of the nest, let ’s say whether they can escape the investigation of the orc scout. What's more, General Keenster did not have the charm to send the only 10,000 heavy cavalry.
At this time, General Keenst remembered that there seemed to be a piece of intelligence given to him by a mercenary corps called What Lai Heen. He searched for more than thirty minutes in his residence, and finally found a lot of documents. At the bottom there was the information that made him worthless.
It is undeniable that this information does not appear to be a professional scout. Many key places are vaguely written, and even a lot of information that should be focused on is ignored, but this information is about the orc army. The description is completely correct. General Keenst suddenly regretted that if he asked the mercenaries who wrote this information face-to-face earlier, he might be prepared earlier.
General Keynst immediately dispatched his own soldiers to summon Lane and others. However, his own soldiers searched the entire "Barracks No. 2" and failed to find Ryan and others. Later, he still asked at the Mercenary Guild to find out that this Ryan was in the "camp No. 1" giant stone thrower position.
Ryan, they are in this impossible place for general mercenaries to get close, all because of Lille and York. During the month when Ryan and Allen went out, Lille and York were also very worried about them, but these two senior magicians had their own things to do, and it was impossible to watch the day and night on the city wall like Flaner. When Ryan and they returned, Lille and York immediately went to the door and invited Ryan and Ellen to come to their residence.
Who knows that General Keenst did n’t even take the risky information of Ryan and Ellen to heart, and Ryan and Allen came to Lille and York beside the giant stone thrower position with so much boredom residence. They were chatting and having fun, General Gennstein's personal soldiers came to the door.
Ryan and Elendo said nothing, and immediately left with the personal soldiers of General Keenster. In the command post of the Thunderlord Fortress, General Keenster received Ryan and others. Lane and Elendo once again told what they had seen in the prairie of North Taryn. This time because of the presence of General Keenst, who was familiar with the military, many things that Ryan and Elendo had overlooked were slowly reminded and told truthfully.
After listening to the description of Ryan and Ellendo, General Keenst said nothing, and waved his hand to let them leave. In the hearts of both Ryan and Ellendo, they were dissatisfied with this kind of behavior by General Keenster. The information she had risked in front of her was shelved. Later, she discovered that the information was very important, and she shouted and questioned her. , So rude to people.
But Ryan and Ellendo still didn't say anything. After all, the Orc soldiers were under the city, and perhaps General Keenst was under great pressure. However, after Ryan and Allen returned to their residence, they still complained to Flanner. After all, they paid a lot for this information, but they did not get the attention they deserved. Can't be happy.
Flanner comforted them a few words, after all, this General Keenst came from a noble, and for the few unknown mercenaries from civilians, this might seem to him to be very polite. After hearing this explanation, Ryan suddenly fell silent. This was the first time he felt the invisible but almost insurmountable gap between nobles and civilians.
