Heart of Empire Chapter 186: Harassment blocking

According to Chapple's suggestion, it is obvious that the team that launches an attack on the orc army will face great danger. 1 Novel

Therefore, there is no doubt that in this battle, the safest position is naturally the reserve team. It should be normal for soldiers to fight bravely to be the first, but few people will rush to this kind of safe position-in fact, it is not that some people want to rush up to die, who doesn't know the safety of the rear? It's just that if you open your mouth to ask for it directly, the men will feel a little embarrassed in their hearts.

No one could have imagined that since the establishment of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Dane, who had performed very bravely in several battles, would actually do this. This also caused many people to look sideways, with some strange colors in their eyes.

Dyne didn't care about these eyes at all, and he repeated his words again with a normal face: "My people can take on this task, and I hope that the Pure Sword Mercenary Group will also follow me. There are many temporarily recruited mercenaries, and their fighting will is not reliable. If they are ordered to attack the orcs who have an absolute advantage in numbers, I am afraid that if the battle goes wrong, they will probably retreat directly. In a harsh battle Among them, Your Excellency the General should also know that such a retreat is fatal, and it will bring my direct lineage into chaos. But on the contrary, the soldiers brought by the General from White Wolf Castle are all elite, at least in terms of morale. There will be no problem with fighting spirit, your troops are more suitable for the main attack mission than my subordinates."

Morno took a deep look at him and said, "I can promise you. But you have to lend me your Dragon Squadron and Ranger Squadron."

"Impossible." Dane flatly refused, "They are the core force of my subordinates. If they are transferred away, the reserve team will be as if their bones have been removed. Besides..."

Besides, he didn't say what he said later, but Morno understood it too.

What Dane said now has a slightly tit-for-tat meaning, and Morno's eyes are a little disappointed. But after all, Dane is different from Chapple and the others. Those people were his subordinates, as long as he made a decision, no matter what the officers and generals objected to, they could only abide by it. And Dane, speaking from left to right, is not his subordinate, and Dane's army is also his own. Although after the formation of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the supreme leader was undoubtedly Morno himself, and Dane had always followed his orders. However, in the final analysis, the two are in a cooperative relationship, and it is impossible for Morno to force too much.

What's more, now he still needs Dane's strength.

He took a long breath and let out the depression in his chest. Morno said, "Okay, Chapple and Redis, you two will follow me and bring our warriors from White Wolf Castle to harass and attack the orcs. Army, we must slow down their speed of action. Dane will lead his horror mercenary group, and the pure sword mercenary group will serve as a reserve team, responsible for supporting and supporting us. That's it, what else do you want? Did you say that?"

No one said anything, Morno said: "The meeting is over! Do what you should do!"

…

Returning to his own camp, Dane rejected the invitation of several of his men to participate in the banquet after the victory, and walked into his own tent alone.

Even though he was given the task of a relatively safe reserve force, he was still in a bad mood—he was very pessimistic about the next move.

Actually, a day or two ago, when Morno was determined to fight the orc vanguard army defeated by them during the day, he had clearly expressed his opposition. Today's encounter was too dangerous. If I hadn't arrived in time to stop Sarkins' wolf cavalry unit and kill the opponent with a single knife, the end of the battle would inevitably be Edom. The fiasco of the conscription ended.

Although he won in the end, the price was very heavy. Fighting a vanguard army of 4,000 people is already so difficult. Next, facing an extremely large army of orcs, Morno's choice to go up with determination is simply inexplicable.

Shaking his head, Dane tried his best to expel these bad thoughts from his head, but a sense of crisis was always shrouded in his heart, so that he couldn't calm down at all.

After thinking about it, he decided to go back to Oriento again.

…

After having a sudden return experience, Dane has adapted a lot to the feeling of space-time disorder during teleportation. Outside the door, as usual, Easterlin was still waiting in person, but this time, Dane didn't have time to say anything to him, and he didn't even bother Falor and Esther, after a few hurried words , Let the high-ranking mage go to inform Kexier and Lancelot.

Tens of minutes later, Dane saw three people in the war courtyard.

The three of Easterling, Keshill and Lancelot are the three important figures in Auriana. Although the three of them are not in charge of government affairs and financial power like Falor, nor are they in control of temples and beliefs like Eslor, but in terms of functionality, the mage tower, monastery and war The three important arms training buildings in the courtyard cannot do without the hosts of the three of them.

Obviously, except for the high-level mage Easterlin who had been prepared for a long time, the other two should have rested before coming to Dane.

"My lord, I don't know why the three of us were summoned here in the middle of the night?" Keshir asked ~IndoMTL.com~ Without adding any nonsense, Dane asked directly: "Now, you How is the training of the respective troops?"

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay. A few days ago, Dane had just dispatched about 50 troops from Auriel, so why did he suddenly come back to ask for someone?

Langstrom replied: "Uh... a group of sword dancers who completed training were taken away by you in the past few days. Although, in the past few days, I have recruited again Two squads, but they have just started training, and they are far from being able to form an army."

Even Lancelot is like this, let alone the mage tower and monastery. Last time, when Dane came back, he ordered them not to expand unrestrainedly, and took away a group of mages and priests. Now it is even more impossible for them to have any manpower for Dane to dispatch.

Dane understands all these situations, but apart from that, the Mage Tower and the Monastery can still provide him with some help: for example, Easterling and Xhill himself.
