Chapter 311: Take a risk

Pearl Lake.
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed. These days, the scouts were dispatched, covering hundreds of miles around.
The dark army never appeared.
In the evening of this day, there was smoke in the camps everywhere. Although 90,000 troops were stationed, the atmosphere was not tense. The soldiers did not feel much wariness. After training, they were talking and laughing while waiting for dinner.
Of course, it is only ordinary soldiers who are relaxed. For Joseph Martin and the commander-level generals, they live like enemies every day, fearing that the army of darkness will emerge from some unexpected place.
Twenty days passed so uneasy, and there were less than ten days left before the return journey. In Joseph's opinion, even now it is enough to withdraw the troops, but of course he can't withdraw the troops rashly. The news of the marshal must prevail.
It’s dinner time, and the waiter brings the dinner to Joseph’s camp. The food is simple. Two slices of grilled trout with mustard. The fish is caught in the lake. There is also a raw coriander and two slices with salted butter. Wheat bread.
Joseph ate casually while dealing with letters from various places.
The letter is divided into two parts, one part is from the Glory Church, who brought the situation of Keel Hill.
In the keel hills, the confrontation between King Aoraki and the Dark Legion became more frequent, the strings became tighter and tighter, and the real decisive battle might erupt at any time.
The other part came from the Moshalen Bridge. The most recent letter was sent just now, and it was Luo Lin's own letter.
The letter said that their iron bird has been up to the sky and is in place, as long as the two sides of the Dragon Bone Hills fight a decisive battle, they can immediately join the battle. So the mission of the Southern Crusade has been completed and can return.
The arrival of this letter made Joseph greatly relieved, casually ate the bread in his hand, raised the volume and said to the guard at the door: "Give my order to let the generals come to discuss matters."
"Yes. Commander!" The guard responded and walked away.
Just after the guard walked for a while, a scout rushed over to the gate of the camp, and the scout said anxiously: "Commander, there is an emergency."
Joseph was taken aback. Busy said: "Come in and talk."
The scout walked into the camp and reported on one knee: "There was an army of undead passing by seventy miles to the south, about 10,000 in number, all of them high-ranking undead. Looking at the direction, they seemed to come out of Baiyun City and head south. of."
"Huh?" Joseph frowned: "Ten thousand. Are you sure? Are there no low-level undead?"
The undead have always won by numbers, but now there are only 10,000, which is a bit strange.
"There are some low-level undead, but very few, mixed with high-level undead, the number is estimated to be only hundreds."
Joseph was silent, ten thousand undead, this power is not strong. With their power, it can be wiped out. To be honest, he is really excited.
"Are there other undead around?" Joseph asked again.
"No discovery. This undead is the only team." The scout shook his head.
Joseph closed his eyes and pondered. For a long time, he finally sighed and said, "Go down, I know."
He gave up, indeed the power of these ten thousand undead is not strong. But it is not weak, to annihilate this army. The army has to go south, and it is difficult to guarantee that no other accidents will happen.
Their fighters are not ready yet. So he cannot take risks.
Soon after the scouts went down, the generals came over. After the ten people arrived, Joseph took out Rollin's letter: "Marshal's letter, the west side is ready, we can go back."
Every general watched it again, and everyone reacted differently. Zachro looked solemn and seemed unwilling. Grevin, Yopney, Langer and others were relieved.
"Everyone, go back and prepare, take a rest, and leave tomorrow morning!" Joseph said.
"Wait." Zachro said suddenly.
"Is there anything else?" Joseph asked.
"I heard that the scout found an army of undead passing by in the south? There are only ten thousand?" Zachro said.
"It is true, but it has nothing to do with us." Joseph's brows moved, he heard what Zacro said, this man wanted to intercept this undead army.
"There are only ten thousand, how can we let it go, clean them up, we can let the soldiers get some actual combat experience." Zacro said.
"No!" Joseph refused: "The marshal's order is to let us go back. I don't want to be out of line!"
"But the marshal didn't say to go back immediately, he just said that he could go back. Now this undead army is alone, you see that they don't even have low-level undead, it is a great opportunity to destroy them!"
The most terrifying thing about the undead army is their number. When they fight, the endless low-level undead cannon fodder rushes over like waves, and there is no way to resist it.
Zachro said, before Joseph vetoed him, he turned to the noble generals and said, "Do you think this is the case?"
The four noble generals immediately stood up: "We all think this is a good opportunity."
"Gry, what do you think?" Zachro looked at his deputy again.
Grevin shook his head solemnly: "This is the southern border, anything can happen. Zachro, this is not worth our risk."
"Our soldiers are not ready yet!" Joseph was also a little annoyed, and Zachro was faintly resisting his orders.
"The recruits are not ready yet. Commander. If you are not assured, you can take the recruits north, and we will lead 30,000 elites to the south. Once the opponent is eliminated, we will follow you."
"Zacro!" Joseph increased his tone, holding the hilt in his hand, and said one by one: "I order all the troops to go north!"
"Joseph!" Zachro did not back down: "You are only a temporary commander, now you are timid, letting go of a good opportunity, I have the right to raise an objection. Such a tortoise can't fight the Dark Legion. !"
"Don't force me to use military orders!" Joseph gritted his teeth, he didn't expect things to get to this point.
"Lando, you are crazy!" Grevin also roared.
"I'm not crazy. I just don't want to let go of the opportunity to weaken the Dark Legion. And you are all cowards! Joseph, if you want to go north, then take the recruits. The warriors of the principality will never back down at this time!"
"Warrior of the Principality?" Joseph looked incredulous.
"They are also warriors of the Silver Crusade. But they are from the Principality of Lehman, Joseph!" Zachro added, then he turned to the four noble generals and said: "Let's go"
After speaking, he walked out of the camp, and the four noble generals followed.
The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became extremely depressed. Everyone is silent.
After a while, there was a noise outside the camp, and only heard Zacro's shouting: "Warriors of the Principality, there is an army of undead in the south seventy, follow me south and destroy them!"
Joseph was shocked and rushed out of the camp to look. I saw that the soldiers who originally belonged to the Lehman Principality were actually assembled by Zakro, and there were also some recruits following them. Seeing that the number was at least 30,000.
These are elite fighters, and they assemble quickly. Ready to follow Zachro out of the camp and march south.
The other recruits in the camp felt unclear. So, look at me, I look at you, their faces are full of confusion.
Joseph clenched his fists, his face as cold as frost.
Langer took a step forward and whispered: "Commander, the order of the battlefield is like a mountain. This Zacroo is a capital offense for doing so. Isn't it?"
The young man held the hilt in his hand, his face was full of evil spirits, and he followed Luo Lin all the time. All his military career. Obeying the command is the first priority. All soldiers who disobeyed the command were cut off by the marshal, without exception. Defying the military order is absolutely a dead line in the Marshal's army, not to mention touching, something that I can't even think of.
Now Zach's affairs, in his opinion, are seeking his own way. If he were to change his command today, Zachro would never get out of the camp!
of course. It is also because Joseph is the commander that he has not spoken until now. He is not the only one who thinks so. Yopni, Stern, and Durens all share the same idea. The faces of the three are full of suffocation. As long as Joseph gives his order, they will immediately take their subordinates to slay five noble generals including Zachro. Kill on the spot.
Grevin, who looked at him in this way, felt cold for a while, fearing that Joseph would really give his life, and hurriedly said: "Commander, it is not bad to divide the troops. It would be a good thing if the group of undead can be wiped out."
Seeing Joseph's face pale, his hand still holding the hilt, and the faint holy power on the sword, Grewin whispered again: "General Slash, I'm afraid there will be turmoil in the army."
These words worked, and Joseph finally released the hilt. He only felt a depression in his chest, which was made by these guys.
After a long silence, he finally said: "We will take the recruits northward!"
Langer was taken aback, then he understood, and sighed secretly: "This Paladin is too soft in character. And Nazakro, those noble generals, really arrogant!"
He understood that when something like this happened, on the one hand, Joseph was not decisive enough. On the other hand, it has something to do with the faint disagreements in the army. Today this is just a total outbreak of these disagreements, otherwise Zachro would not be able to take those soldiers away.
It's just that Zachro did such a thing, even if he defeated the undead, how would he go back and explain to the marshal? Does he think he can hold his own strength? Langor couldn't figure it out.
Subsequently, the army was divided into two groups, one group had 36,000 people, most of them were elites, and followed Zacron's south to destroy the undead.
Zachro is very good at leading the army. Before he set off, he gave an impassioned speech, he insisted on encouraging the soldiers to fight and rush toward the undead menacingly.
On the other side were more than 50,000 people, all recruits. Under the leadership of the Paladin Joseph Martin, they did not wait for the next day and left the camp overnight.
The situation of this recruit is relatively bad. Many recruits still don't know what is going on, and they are confused. Some say that General Zachro is a traitor, some say that Commander Joseph is timid and cowardly, and there are all kinds of rumors.
The recruits went north in silence until the next afternoon when they camped and rested~EbookFREE.me~ Paladin Joseph Martin finally appeared and began to appease the recruits. This suppressed the chaotic situation, but morale was still low. .
Looking at the confused and uneasy faces, Joseph Martin's heart was full of bitterness and disappointment. He didn't expect that the Southern Expedition Plan would become like this once.
He felt that he was sorry for the trust of Count Maple Leaf, and he was annoyed at why he did not act decisively yesterday, which led to the division of the army.
After much deliberation, he came to the conclusion that he might not be suitable to be an army coach.
After a rest night, the army continued to march northward, and the mood in the army remained unchanged. Silence, depression, and confusion, until noon, there was the sound of horseshoes suddenly coming from behind.
After a while, a scout covered in blood rushed to catch up with the team, reached the front of the team, and handed a blood-stained document to Joseph.
Joseph opened his eyes and suddenly felt black.
Because Zachro lost! (To be continued)
