Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 665: Can you give me some hot tea?
After breaking through Benliang City, Akiket made a preliminary estimate of the casualties of the troops. In the end, only 150,000 or 150,000 of the more than 300,000 people escaped and ascended to heaven.
The total number of the central troops who fled to the east is between 60,000 and 70,000, and there are still 50,000 left. It can be said that they are lucky among misfortunes.
However, the situation of the troops fleeing to the west is not optimistic.
The troops he leads can still find a way out against human troops on the plains under command, but other small troops that are divided into small pieces may be in danger.
The West Fifth Army's support troops rushed like this. Excluding his team, they only collected more than 10,000 people. It would be difficult to find almost 20,000 more people in the remaining days.
However, it is unacceptable to just hand over the plains to others.
In spring and summer, even if the loss of the plains cannot completely withstand the human offensive, it can still give the Wansheng Kingdom a certain buffer and prevent the Luoze Empire from further encroaching inland from the plains.
Without this buffer, we don’t know what challenges we will face next year.
“The time they finalized was good.
During this period, I will try my best to search for traces of other troops, join them, and try to capture Benliang City again.
If you fail again, you can give up the capture and instead build defenses in the Boots area and the captured cities to prepare for the human spring and summer offensive.
"
Making a decision, Akiket’s eyes fell on the human male **** with a rope,
"Can you tell me what happened to the human male next to you?"
Wan Luo glanced at the human male next to him, but before Wan Luo could speak, the middle-aged man slowly opened his chapped lips and made a hoarse voice,
"Supreme Commander here, I have some information that I want to talk to you about. Can you give me a cup of hot tea and let me sit in a warm place and chat slowly?"
The man spoke, and Wan Luo yanked the rope unhappily. The middle-aged man staggered a few steps in the direction of the monster bear. The monster bear turned around and bared its teeth at the old man, as if to tell the old man. If he doesn't obey, you can eat him at any time.
The middle-aged man subconsciously opened his eyes, the fear on his face clearly revealed.
"You guys are not qualified to negotiate terms. Also, I asked you so many times just now, but in the end, you didn't say a word. Don't try to play any tricks when you see the general now."
"No. No. No..." The middle-aged man frowned and repeated this sentence several times before continuing: "This is really very important information. If you don’t believe it, you orcs may not be able to get far.”
"You guy!"
After hearing the ominous words, Wanluo curled his lips, frowned, and became even more unhappy. Just as he was about to use his strength to straighten the rope and make this human male suffer, he was shouted at by Akikete. Stop it,
"There is no need to force him like this. Just listen to him and see what he has to say."
After saying that, Akiket organized the manpower to place the aid troops from the Eastern Second Army who came from afar, and asked his subordinates to prepare warm rooms and tea, and then called on a few trustworthy people to treat the human male together. cross-examination.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yu was also called into the room.
The temporary camp was small and extremely simple. Yang Yu glanced around and found that besides him, there were about a dozen people, the lowest level of which was also a orthodontic general.
When many officers passed by Yang Yu, they would unconsciously sniff the air to confirm the smell of Yang Yu again. It was a bit strange, but in the end they didn't say anything.
The rope around his body was untied, and the middle-aged man slowly walked to the stool prepared for him by the army. He took the hot tea from the soldier to warm his hands, and his expression softened a little.
Akiket did not immediately ask the middle-aged man what he knew. Instead, he faced Wanluo and said:
"Wan Luo, how did you catch this man? I want to hear what happened."
No need to cover up, Wan Luo said:
“We were ordered to go to this area to carry out rescue operations and found a human force acting suspiciously, so we followed them quietly.
First, I heard that they were contacted to go to support, and then, I heard that they suddenly decided to change their mind and send people to search.
My troops and I went up to attack them, but those humans were really tight-lipped and didn't want to tell us any information.
Fortunately, we orcs have a keen sense of smell.
We found rows of nearly buried footprints on the snow. They looked like they were left by some kind of large orc, but we could only smell the scent of humans.
I sent my team to pursue this smell.
After that, we caught this sneaky man.
But I asked him many times, but he refused to tell me what his purpose was.
I can only bring him here. ”
"Hmm." Ajikte thought for a while and looked at the man who drank the black tea in one gulp. "Sir, is what he said true?"
Slowly putting down the tea cup, the man nodded, "That's basically it... I'm already old, but I never imagined that I would be treated like that. If you are really merciless to humans."
Looking at the marks on his wrist, the man had a complicated expression.
"You are a human being. Don't forget that we are still at war. You cannot be trusted until your true motivations for your actions are confirmed."
Wan Luo spoke plausibly, and other officers present also agreed.
"I didn't expect that the opposition would reach this level..." The man sighed deeply and frowned even more tightly. After a while, he opened his brows as if he suddenly figured it out, "This There is no way...this can no longer be normal..."
After a moment of silence, the man looked at Akiket and raised his voice a little,
"Whether you believe what I say next or not, I will tell you my purpose... I am just a human being and have no right to make any decisions.
After several years of war, humans and demi-humans have become increasingly ugly in their hearts.
Especially among people who mostly have no contact with each other...
Sigh—perhaps, we shouldn’t start from here.
However, this is to let you understand the motivation of my behavior...
Forget it, let me just tell you what I am doing...
I am dismantling the magic communication jamming device on the plain.
The human army plans to divide you into small groups one after another, completely cutting off the communication between you, and then defeat them one by one.
They set up magic communication devices, but they can communicate with each other through a special instrument.
The magic jamming device must be destroyed so that you can have a chance to survive and contact other troops, otherwise you will only be caught in a trap.
I know where those devices are located and I am trying to disarm them as much as possible.
If possible, I beg you to let me go and I will disable the remaining devices,"
