Law of the Devil Chapter 543: [Mercedes (Part 1)]

Chapter 543 [The Mercenary Corps (Part 1)]

For the "good news" from the empire, the commander-in-chief department at the front cannot refuse. Moreover, both the priests of the church and the magician team of the magic union can bring good morale and inspiration to the soldiers.

Especially for the appeasement of the clergy, the generals have eliminated the fear of becoming enemy food after the war.

After the first batch of **** professionals arrived, they were dispatched to the defensive grassroots of the front line of defense. After listening to the prayers of those soldiers and the propaganda of the clergy, they said that the empire's army was under the protection of gods Fighting evil enemies, even if killed in battle, as long as the heroes fight, the soul can return to the arms of God after death. This statement greatly eased the panic of the soldiers.

As for the magician team ... ordinary grass-roots soldiers are absolutely welcoming to the arrival of magicians. Everyone thinks that with the joining of these extraordinary powerful men, the war should be easier.

However, senior generals such as Rostock do not think so. Unlike ordinary soldiers, these senior generals have a reserved welcome for the joining of magicians.

These generals have dealt with magicians, and know what these magicians are like! These guys have a weird temperament, they are not obedient, they do not obey the command, and they participate purely based on their own interests. If they are happy, they may give you more energy. If they are not happy, it is good to not disturb you.

The most annoying thing is that these guys are still a privileged class, and military orders could not even command and direct them. Therefore, although they were strong, they did not obey their orders at all. How useful is the power of coordination?

Not to mention, the first batch of students of the School of Magic have graduated. That is what the real empire cultivated and obediently obeyed the team of wizards! In contrast, front-line senior generals think that those militarized trained magicians are more worth looking forward to.

As for the mobilization of the Cavaliers Association ... For generals such as Rostock, it is a joke!

The Cavaliers Association? What can they do? One was only half breathed. Half-dead "one of the three major continents"? ? Apart from the remaining brand, what else does the Cavaliers Association have?

And that call and employment order is a joke!

For the generals of the Storm Legion, such as Rostock, who was born in the regular army and also the most elite of the Northern Empire, they looked down on the so-called "mercurials", especially after the call of the Cavaliers Association. Most of the hired soldiers are the original smuggling mercenaries.

The Stormwind Legion. It can be said that I have dealt with these smuggling mercenaries for a lifetime! One side is the official army guarding northern Xinjiang, and the other is the smuggling of armed groups by poaching. There has been little friction between the two sides over the years. There is no big hate, but there is a lot of small hatred!

However. After all, the empire's three major organizations contributed to the war, for the high-level empire. It is a good news worthy of big book and special book, so a piece of imperial order ordered the front line to cooperate as much as possible.

So, although Rostock and others are dissatisfied, they can only do the same: the priests can give the soldiers the peace of mind and receive the greatest welcome. They are immediately received by the front line and sent to the front line of the army to quickly soothe their hearts.

Those who are noble magicians have also been treated as VIPs, but have only been raised in the main cell. It was very well worshipped, and the Storm Corps practised four words for these magicians: stay away.

As for the mercenaries recruited by the Cavaliers Association ... hmm, it was far away from the second-tier Air Force station base in the rear. Its name is: Reserve. Who is the Cavaliers Association?

As the leader of the Storm Corps, he must give face to the church, to the magic union, but not to the Knight Association.

After the first war. The 20,000 pioneers of the orc army took a careful step back. Then began to work.

The human army behind Kaspersky's line of defense has no intention of coming out of the city to fight, the orc army has begun to build their camp.

Large quantities of wood were transported up. Ten days later, successive teams of ground orc troops arrived at the front line. According to visual observations on the city walls and news from the air force airships, they are now assembled about three kilometers north of the line of defense. An army of fifty thousand orcs. These orcs also seem to have made long-term battle plans. They cut down the woods and, under the work of the powerful orc labor, they were built one by one.

On just a few days, on the city wall, with a telescope, you can clearly see that the wooden wall in the distance is getting longer and longer, and wooden simple lookouts have been erected one by one every day, The soldiers standing on the wall could clearly hear the enemy's camp, the hot work moving. Trumpets, shouts, felling, pilings.

According to the observations, the orc army of the brigade brigade is continuously coming out from the frozen forest, converging here, like a stream, and finally converging into a terrible sea of ​​beasts!

Ten days later, what appeared in front of Kaspersky Defense Officers was the outline of a large, large-scale camp in the north.

The leading edge is a wooden wall that is more than two meters high, and sharp wooden thorns are also arranged. On the lookout, orc soldiers are armed with iron bows on alert. The barracks one by one are also built up, densely ... According to observations sent by the Air Force, the area of ​​this barracks has been extended to the north, reaching a long area of ​​dozens of miles! It can hold hundreds of thousands of enemies. This is only a conservative estimate.

The orcs are made of various tools from wood. A team of carts, loaded with heavy supplies, are brought up from the rear. There are grain, wood, and various forage plants ... More are each Jerky made from Warcraft corpses!

Several groups of orcs have quickly dispersed, searching all the villages and towns within hundreds of miles nearby that have been abandoned by humans. Collect all the materials that can be collected: stones, tools, even a wheat ear, a sack!

The orcs are not in a hurry to attack ... this surprises humans. In their view, these monsters should be the kind of creatures with simple brains and well-developed limbs, but the patience that is revealed ... is it ignorance or deliberate patience?

But humans don't know it is ... After a full 10,000 years of waiting, the sinners are not lacking in patience! 10,000 years can come down, wait a few more days. What else?

"These monsters are looking for death." At a military meeting, most human generals made such evaluations.

Furthermore, such concepts dominate the mainstream, and most of the generals who are decisive think so.

"These monsters are crazy. They actually fight long-lasting wars and attrition wars with us ... don't they know the consequences? We have the entire empire behind us as our strategic reserve. But what about them? There is less than a thousand square kilometers of land behind, and here is the northern part of the empire. The climate is cold, and there is not much food to grow. Then there are frozen forests. Even if they can get some food by hunting Warcraft, but this depends on Hunting Warcraft. It is impossible to maintain the consumption of an army of this size! We do n’t know where they are behind, as if they appeared out of thin air. But the only thing that is certain is that they are very far behind. Very far away! This makes it necessary for them to supply the army, so the supply line will be nearly impossible to complete. If these guys really have high wisdom. They should attack us as soon as possible, trying to break through our defense, Ran to the interior of the continent to take the supplies. Otherwise, they are here A delay. Sooner or later all starve. "

The opinions of the officers who spoke were largely endorsed, and people couldn't help laughing at last: "I bet they can't live this winter, they will starve to death here."

"Unless they eat enough snow and northwest wind, ha ha ha ha ..."

Looking at the attitude of the generals, Rostock frowned deeply: "Everyone!"

The old general raised his voice so suddenly everyone was quiet.

"I don't think we can be blindly optimistic." Rostock slowly said: "In front of us is a race that we are not even aware of! We lack understanding of them. But the problem is. From now on, they have Wisdom, knowing craftsmanship, knowing tactics ... they are confronting us here now, I don't think they are stupid, but ... I'm afraid we can't relax for another reason. And ... the Duke of Tulips once told me , He suspects. These aliens. There may be some air races with flying capabilities.

"Duke of Tulips?" The generals were silent for a while, but most of them still looked disdainful. The reputation of the Duke of Tulips to shock those ignorant civilians is almost the same. But for these empire's most elite generals, it was nothing more than a child under twenty.

"I've decided." Rostock suddenly stood up: "Twenty days! If they don't attack before 20 days, let's start! We can't expect to wait until the cold winter to let the climate kill them. The fate of the empire should be in our own hands! Twenty days later, if these guys are still here and want to settle down here, we will drive them out ourselves. "

I have to say that Rostock's decision was somewhat hasty. However, the empire is currently one of the oldest frontline commander generals, but there is always a vague anxiety in his heart. It seems that there is always a layer of fog covering these strange enemies, making him unable to see the same.

The mercenaries enlisted across the continent are packed with a makeshift barracks located twenty kilometers south of the Kaspersky Defense Line.

The Knights Association has a bounty for a monster's head and a gold coin. Mercenaries who were in a doldrums for business had found a way out. Moreover, from the current news, although this reward is not high, it seems that the fighting power of those monsters is lower than that of ordinary Warcraft.

We can kill even Warcraft, so killing dozens of monsters and making a fortune should not be difficult!

Of course, there are also a few registered knights. They are the kind of warriors who still hold the knight faith and serve the country and the people. But such people are a minority after all.

One kilometer away from this temporary barracks is the Empire Front Air Force Base.

Rostock almost threw away the recruited mercenaries to General Andrea on the second line. This approach made Andrea somewhat dissatisfied, but in the face of his old boss, he could not refuse.

The mercenaries from the mainland came to the temporary barracks slowly and reported that they do not need the empire to provide weapons and armor. As mercenaries and knights, they all have their own equipment. After registering at the registration office, many people yelled, "Where to kill those monsters ?! Where can I find those monsters? When will they be on the battlefield?"

In less than ten days, more than 3,000 people have been jammed in the makeshift barracks. General Andre didn't bother to care about these black people, but sent three hundred soldiers to maintain order, sent several clerks to register, and compiled these registered people into an infantry battalion-level establishment. Already.

For a long time, the mercenaries who had been in the temporary barracks for a few days were a little bit idle. Many people started to shout and ran to the registration office every day to ask. Some impatient even took it consciously. As people went north, they tried to go north. But without exception, it was blocked by the Kaspersky Defence Empire champion.

On that day, there was a rush of horseshoe noise outside the barracks.

Beyond the camp gate, more than a dozen healthy horses came galloping and came to the door. The first horseman stopped and made a difficult emergency stop. The horse immediately hissed, When the manpower got up, people immediately looked at the "busy" military camp in front of them, and two thick eyebrows were twisted together immediately, muttering in a low voice: "Fuck, this is also called a military camp? It's just a market!"
