"Report! The popular shooter was ordered to chase Chief Abdul Roger and Letoz. The two captains returned!" The voice of the soldiers heard from outside the tent.
Orlando immediately replied: "Please come in, and immediately summon all commanders above the rank. Although, please, Ryan also come over."
Soon, everyone got the order called by Orlando, and the things that quickly fell off gathered in Orlando's military account. When Ryan reached the last one, everyone was already sitting in front of the military map with Orlando. This is not because Ryan is late, but because he has a special status. These days, because of some new understanding of magic, he chose a more secluded place to rest. Naturally, he came later than other officers near Orlando. some.
Orlando smiled and nodded at Ryan, and said, "Okay, everyone is here. You two talk about the pursuit."
Roger and Letoz looked at each other with embarrassment. They didn't know where to start. After thinking about it, Roger opened his mouth and said, "This time our chase can be said to be very failed. Although it followed Abu The Hoarfrost Army fled behind Chief Duller, and a small number of other Clay cavalry with fewer than 5oo people, but their whereabouts are unusually strange. "
"We chased all the way north, and at first we were able to find the trail left by the other party, but when we entered the thick mountain forest the next day, the trail became concealed a lot. Fortunately, Letoz were good at hunting. It hangs firmly behind the other party. "
"Damn it!" Roger said here, scolding resentfully, as if to vent his depression, and Letoz then said: "This is too careless for me, but they didn't expect them to put a trap and put us It led to a very dangerous place. Fortunately, a grizzly rushed out suddenly, which made me feel the enemy's arrangement. "
"Later, Abdul and they ran out of the forest again. When we chased over, we met a large number of wolves. Fortunately, we were all riding one person with plenty of horsepower, which slowly relied on riding and shooting. It ’s just that Chief Abdul and their trail ca n’t keep up.

Although this ending is not perfect, it is already very good for Orlando, so Orlando did not say much, but first concerned about the loss of popular shooters. After learning that there were only a dozen casualties, Orlando slowly Nodded his head, and then continued to say: "Our expedition is almost over. The result is very good. It can be said that it has passed the previous estimate."
"About ten days later, there will be a new legion in the emperor. By then, our expeditionary forces will be able to rotate back gradually. It is just the order of the rotation ..." Orlando said here, hesitating because At present, the easiest way to fight on the prairie is Cassano's popular shooter legion, but after all, they are visiting troops, making Orlando difficult to speak.
Ryan naturally guessed the meaning of Orlando, he directly said: "This is very simple, the popular shooter legion is left, after all, their motility is still relatively strong, fighting on the grassland is a bit of an advantage. There should not be too much Klay near here. The clan camp is out, but I ca n’t relax. I suggest that the popular shooter uses 5oo people as a team to attack in turn, and disperse all the Clay people who are hundreds of miles away. "
Ryan said here, pointing to the military map: "The biggest water source in the vicinity is Mirror Lake. If you go further west, not only does it have no large water source, but even the quality of the pasture is much worse. Since those Clay people do not If they are willing to stay, it means that they agree with the rule of Chief Abdul in their hearts, and they will simply be expelled to a more westward place, so that they will not stay here and gather together to re-create the threat. "
Orlando shuddered slightly when he heard the words. He knew what Ryan meant by these lightly written words, but Orlando refused to speak when he refused. From the day when this huge emperor capital was established 2oo years ago, in fact, the entire empire was not truly unified at all. The reason is that it is too forgiving to those who are distracted.
If Fernando I completely abandoned the honor of the Holy Knights, forcibly drove the Clares, and forcibly attacked the southern lords, I am afraid that no one can resist the war knights of the Royal Knights and the magic of the Royal Society of Magic? This is especially true after having a more balanced ally, division Melen. However, Fernando chose to appease. He thought that this problem could be solved slowly. Unexpectedly, after the succession of his children, the policy of the entire empire deviated from its intended trajectory.
"This command, let me give it to you, General Orlando." Lane said quietly: "Since we are here, we must think about future generations. Maybe this is cruel, but it is the best way to deal with our enemies. Those so-called infamy, anyway, there are hundreds of thousands of blood on my hands, ha ha. "
Orlando sighed. As a believer in the God of War, he can fight to protect his people, but he cannot give such a cruel order after the war. This is not his shirk responsibility, but as a holy knight, he ordered The consequences are basically the same as being abandoned by God of War, because this is contrary to his beliefs.
Orlando slowly left the military account with his hands behind his back, but the military seal of the Expeditionary Commander was intentionally or unintentionally left on the table. Ryan smiled slightly and stepped forward to capture the military seal symbolizing power in his hands. Then he faced the presence of Jonas and others and said firmly: "I, Ryan, allies of the imperial capital, Ka Lord Sano, as the temporary commander of the expeditionary force, issued the following military order ... "
In this Battle of Mirror Lake, as many as tens of thousands of people directly died in Ryan's hands, and the Clay people who died because of the kill order issued by Ryan and the exile order issued later were even more incalculable. In Ryan ’s exile order that made countless Clays cry, Ryan ordered the Jonas Army and the popular archers to start sweeping the Clay gatherings within a few hundred miles, killing their cattle and sheep, and burning them. Their supplies drove them to the more desolate and barren west.
During the westward migration of the Clare people for more than a year this time, due to lack of food and clothing, many weak Clare people fell on the road to the west migration. According to statistics of some scholars in the later generations, the entire Clare people The westward migration killed at least 30 million people, and less than 1 million people died in the hands of the expeditionary forces during the entire imperial expedition.
After this battle, the entire Clan clan was seriously injured, and it was barely recovered after more than a hundred years. Before then, they could only appear on the mainland as small-scale mercenary regiments. Because the road of the Clare tribe's westward migration was covered with fallen bodies, the Clare tribes of the later generations called the road of the westward migration "the road of blood."
