Chapter 386: Temple calculation

Lin Dan’s fork wrapped his coat tightly, lowered his head and rubbed the sore neck Jing Liu" secretly said: This is obviously a low latitude area, how the is the cold and cold day. Vera is a dead girl. Why not come back, Nothing will happen, right?
Vera had a big meal after dark. With the salary given by Lorraine, first the mages' flying skills rose into the air, turning into a giant dragon at a height that no one could see, flapping their wings and flying south.
Up.
According to Lorraine's explanation, just make a round along the border, probably not two or three hours. But most of the night has passed the Divine Seal Throne, and Vera still has not returned.
Lorraine could only wait on the roof. He has been looking up at the stars for hours.
It was already late at night, and the city of Colony was silent, except for the fire on the wall in the distance. In this night with only a few stars, nothing can be seen.
There has been a curfew in the city, and in Lorraine, the footsteps of the patrol team can be heard occasionally. At the foot of Lorraine, in the city lord's mansion, there was still a light, the officers on duty all night. Tensed his nerves, dare not relax at all.
Lorraine estimated the time, it was past four in the morning, and Vera had been out for six hours. Lorraine murmured anxiously: "This dead girl, this dead girl, don't talk big words if you can't. Oh, it's good to have a recliner."
With a "huh", a black figure fell from the sky and suddenly fell in front of Lorraine.
"Oh, Master." Vera yelled, and ran over two steps to hold Lorraine's neck, crying, "Woo. Two times, she said: "I'm back.
Lorraine held Vera's shoulders and pushed Vera away, then nervously turned Vera around, up and down, looking carefully.
"Fortunately, everything is normal." Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief, then a violent thud knocked on Vera's little head, and exclaimed: "Why are you not here until now? Didn't you encounter any strange creatures on the road? Do you know how much I worry about you, do you know how cold it is outside, do you know
Vera let out a cry, held her head in her hands, pouted a little aggrievedly: "Is anyone lost?"
"I Lorraine didn't come up in a breath and coughed again and again. Vera quickly reached out and patted Lorraine on the back.
"Lost" lost? "Lorraine said with wide eyes.
Vera nodded innocently, and whispered: "It's so dark, people forgot how far they flew. It took a big circle to come back, and it took a long time to fly without a city. People almost thought they would never see it again. Master."
Seeing Vera who was about to cry, Lorraine only sighed and pulled Vera to comfort him: "Okay, okay, this is my fault. I should have thought of your road silly problems."
Vera smiled slyly and said: "I've said that, even if the young master won't let me go out, the money will not be refunded."
"The beauty you think of" Lorraine threw another violent thud on Vera's head, and said, "In the future, I will light a large bonfire in the city. You will know when you see it."
Vera first said "Ah." Then reluctantly "Oh. With a cry, rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"Let's go." Lorraine pulled Vera back to her room. On the way, let the attendant prepare a supper.
After a large bowl of hot soup went down, Lorraine felt alive again. When Vera dropped her rice bowl and patted her belly contentedly, Lorraine pulled a map of the border and asked: "What's the matter? Is it now?. "Yes" Vera nodded, pointed her finger on the map, and said: "I saw it all. They took up an area of ​​the boss, and the ground was full of fire. "
Lorraine said anxiously: "How many camps are they divided into?
Vera tilted her head for a moment and said, "There is no camp, but the boss is all together."
Lorraine said puzzledly: "One hundred thousand people should be divided into two at least. I really don't know what these half-orcs are doing. Now they can't even figure out their goals."
After Vera finished her work, she seemed to understand what Lorraine said. She couldn't help but dozed off and muttered, "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."
"Well, let Lorraine wave your hand. He lowered his head and mad at the map.
Since this night, the mystery of "three fires that have been burning at the head of the city" has been with Lorraine. Becoming another hobby of this wacky and special big man. Although there are different opinions, no one has ever guessed it.
Some people have personally asked Lorraine, but Lorraine only answered one, "Lighthouse" and never explained the reason.
The next morning, the sun was just now. Just risen.
The military warfare conference room is full of officers. The atmosphere is also extremely tense.
Lorraine frowned and stared at the map closely. I rack my brains to consider the current situation and what kind of solutions to adopt.
Seeing their boss wringing his eyebrows in contemplation, the people below didn't even dare to show up.
Lorraine suddenly missed the days in the Maple Leaf Danlin Crusade Army. At that time, his officials did not work nor lightly, and many people were slaughtered. Of course, he had more money, and the most important thing was. You don't have to make any decisions by yourself, the old guy from General Wabador is in charge of everything, and you just have to execute it yourself.
Lorraine raised his head and glanced at the nervous or anxious subordinates, all looking at him with expectant eyes, just like kindergarten children looking at Lollipop teacher. Lorraine sighed inwardly.
Counting it down, this was the first time Lorraine was completely alone. It was a lie to say that he was confident and confident.
Here, every one of his decisions will affect the lives and lives of tens of thousands of troops and millions of people. If you make any mistakes, "Secondly, if you pay the tuition, you will be able to get rid of it. Said that this battle is not unwinnable, but behind him is the Ruman Empire, a veteran military power in the world.
Lorraine was worried about how to win at the least cost.
He breathed heavily, and said in his heart: Okay, how can I say that he is also Nyan's general manager, and his job is not just to abuse the manager.
Lorraine clicked on the map and said calmly: "This is the situation. The enemy's movements are confusing for us. We should continue to respond to all changes. Let's implement the plan, shrink the line of defense, and clear the remote fields."
General Larry nodded and said, "It can only be done like this. The half-orcs are really weird. They are several times stronger than ours. But there is such a formation.
It's not like we must concentrate our troops to attack us a little bit, and we will not divide our troops to test our reality and find a breakthrough point. The gap between their troops was not enough for us to pass through.
This approach looks like a confrontation with us. "
Lorraine shook his head and said, "It's just that way. We don't need to fight, they will starve to death."
After Lorraine analyzed the situation. But now I am in a situation that resembles Israel before the Fourth Middle East War. Fortunately, the half-orc coalition is unable to make a surprise attack.
General Larry said: "The enemy probably has something to rely on. In short, we have to be more careful." Lorraine nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Generals, please work hard. Disband."
All the officers stood up in unison, then raised their hands to beat their chests, stamped their feet neatly, and shouted in unison: "Imperial Ten Thousand"
Under Lorraine's order, Nian's army moved quickly to evacuate all the residents near the city into the city, taking away all food and supplies.
In addition to several supporting forts along the border, the small fort as an outpost was also abandoned, and soldiers withdrew to the main city from inside.
This is just a helpless solution. With limited forces, the Naian people needed to defend more than a dozen large and small cities.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers guarded the city. In some small cities, there may be only one or two thousand city defense forces. These cities have gathered all the young and middle-aged men and organized them into militias to help defend the city.
At the same time, Lorraine led a part of the Tenth Army of the East and the Nian Army. He left the city of Kroni mightily and headed south.
After two days of marching, he quickly set up the camp with his back against a fort on the border. After nearly 10,000 troops were deployed along a south-facing hillside, they waited for the arrival of the Orcs troops.
That morning, Lorraine was standing on the top of the fortress, looking towards the south. Vera slapped boringly, breathed, patted her mouth with her little hand, and said dissatisfied: "You should also come, you will lose face if you don't come again."
A black line suddenly appeared on the horizon, and then more and more black spots, and soon it was like a marching ant, covering a large area of ​​the plain.
The soldiers of the orcs came to Lorraine and them in a mess.
The cavalry at the front was just scattered in a group, walking casually like a stocking.
Vera giggled and said loudly, "Ha. It's finally here, I'll just say it, they should be here today." Seeing that, she almost jumped up happy.
The officers next to them looked at their legendary governor's little lady in astonishment. They didn't expect that Miss Vera would be so "happy, she seemed to be happy, facing the enemy."
Although there are rules in the Empire that generals are not allowed to bring family members and women on their expeditions.
However, Lorraine is the governor, unlike pure generals, and Nian is his territory. Bring a little maid when he comes out to fight. Although everyone was slandering Governor Lorraine's pleasure-seeking habit in their hearts, none of them dared to say it.
Regarding Vera’s existence, everyone should be the Governor’s secretary, and Miss Vera’s innocent little mouth can still speak. It’s rare for people around Lorraine to meet someone who is not like Catherine and Adele. Strong, naturally like Vera very much.
"Could it be that the Governor-General's confidence is really sufficient?" These people standing beside Lorraine can only think in their hearts.
Vera pulled Lorraine, still showing off her credit, "Just say it, I must be accurate. Master, don't you think?"
Lorraine dealt with Vera one at a time, focusing on observing the opposite half-orc.
The entire plain in front of him is now densely packed with half-orcs. There are soldiers in front, with wheels and livestock sandwiched between them. They are not like an army at all, they are messy like going to a market.
Moreover, as Vera said, these half-orcs were obviously marching together in tribes.
Each tribe is separated by more than two or three miles of space, it can be said to be very clear, Lorraine knows. This is the manifestation of "unity" among the orc tribes.
The goblin Shajin once told Lorraine that the tribes of half-orcs absolutely distrust each other. Everyone advances together, but never close to each other, and the marching route of one tribe will never allow another tribe to occupy it.
Lorraine seriously considered the possibility of letting the cavalry go out and rush them now, but soon gave up this idea.
There are too many enemies and too messy. The cavalry can easily defeat the enemy at the front, but soon the orcs coming up from both sides will block the retreat.
Moreover, such a scattered march. Not much success can be achieved.
The half-orcs also quickly found the camp where Lorraine they had set up.
A few orc cavalry ran from different directions, and they stopped cautiously a few miles away from Lorraine and looked towards this side.
Let Wenzhong only see a vague figure from Lorraine. Danai had a plan, tugged at Vera, and said, "Vera, can you see who the other guys are?"
When Vera looked at the bamboo bearer Lorraine brought to the door, the corners of her charming mouth were almost bent into crescent moons. Like a little fox trying to trick a hen out of a sturdy cage, he said softly:
"Yes, Master. Do you want to know?"
The implication is "I want to know and get money."
Lorraine curled her lips, Vera had this expression when she knocked on the bamboo, the more cute she smiled, the harder she knocked on Lorraine.
He took out a purse, before opening it, Vera grabbed it, weighed it in her hand, and put it in her pocket with satisfaction, and smiled: "Okay, don't worry about that expression, count you Monthly subscription."
Lorraine sighed and said, "Okay, let's talk about it."
Vera put up the pergola in her hands and stared southward. Said: "Those people, the faces are all colorful, Zhang Xiang can't see clearly, but the clothes are well dressed, at least better than the shaman you found. It seems that it should be their patriarch."
Lorraine nodded, he should be watching us too.
At this moment, listen to the thick and deep war drums "Boom."
The half-orc troops have also moved up one after another.
They found that Lorraine had already taken advantage of the geographical advantage, lined up to block them here, and stopped by coincidence.
I saw the colorful flag on the opposite side shaking.
The orcs patriarchs ran out one after another. They gathered together in the distance, pointed to this side to discuss for a while, and then quickly dispersed again.
Immediately afterwards, the howl of a rough mine came out from the group of orcs.
Seeing that some elites from the half-orc army were sent forward, the others stayed behind, dropped their weapons, and started camping in the distance.
The orc warriors who drove forward slowly divided into several teams, forming a fan-shaped formation, about 10,000 people, approaching Lorraine, and stopped three miles away from Lorraine and their camp.
Lorraine was surprised to find that when these half-orcs marched forward, they scolded each other first, and then they were noisy and noisy.
The commander of the Tenth Army of the East, General Firdoris saw the advantage and came to Lorraine. Said: "Sir, do you want us to go out and rush them now."
Lorraine shook his head and said, "I don't want it anymore. I punched the master to death. The opponent lined up tens of thousands of people. After fighting with them for a while, I couldn't stop. Just can't stand it.
There are too many of them, and when they all officially go into battle, the enemies are in front of us. At that time, we had no worries and could let them go. "
General Firdoris looked at the enemy's lineup, and said indifferently: "My lord, please."
"But" Lorraine paused. Then he continued: "Send the order to let the soldiers attack at night. The orcs have better eyesight at night than us. They are likely to choose to attack in the middle of the night."
Firdoris was taken aback. He didn't expect the Orcs to have this kind of ability. He saluted and said loudly, "Yes, sir, I know."
Lorraine and the others just faced off with the half-orcs in the opposite line. Lorraine was not ready to fight them now, and the half-orcs had no plan to attack upward. The two sides just cursed each other from a long distance, and the voice of the mountain whistling and the tsunami came.
At the same time, each camp was slowly taking shape in front of Lorraine.
The tents like mushroom heads are like dog urine moss after the rain. They popped out one after another on the plain. The half-orcs were still separated by a few miles of space between each camp. It seemed that even facing Luo Lin and their army, these close-knit half-orcs with the same roots and ancestors are also determined to do their own things.
A small group of cavalry suddenly ran out of the group of half-orcs and stopped at the of their camp in Lilorin. Several half-orcs raised their weapons and shouted at the human camp on the slope.
Lorraine looked at these few. The half-orc performed vigorously and screamed again, and suddenly understood after a moment of doubt. These guys were scolding.
Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said in his heart: When is the age, still playing with this kind of thing, Gailba never said that half-orcs have such a custom?
The soldiers in the camp wanted to watch idiots~EbookFREE.me~ and watched the half-orcs performing there. For a while, they attracted the attention of all the soldiers.
Several half-orcs saw that there was no movement at all in the human camp, and became even more arrogant. The half-orcs on the opposite side also clamored, and more half-orcs ran out of the team and squirmed in front of Lorraine.
The half-orcs seemed to be more disgusting humans than this, and first a group of people took off their clothes. Only a pair of trousers were left, revealing the red, green and green body, picked up the sword and patted his chest, shouting at the human camp.
The soldiers of the Tenth Army of the East have never fought with half-orcs, although they have seen many half-orcs. But they don’t know much about their customs. Seeing the colorful half-orcs, they all laughed instead.
Firdoris scratched his head and said, "My lord, what do they mean by this?"
Lorraine smiled and said, "Probably want us to go down and challenge them."
There happened to be a guy on the half-orc yelling in a stammering Ruman language: "Humans. Do you dare to take off the armor and fight our warriors fairly?" (to be continued) umbrella
