“Ganzer and Elmin didn’t come back?”When Rox first heard the news, his face was full of disbelief. Although this guy liked to fight, he was not a reckless man who would fight to the death. On the contrary, he was actually a very cunning person, he was the best judge of the situation. This was also the reason why the Northern Beasts hated him to the bone but still couldn’t kill him after so many years in the north.
Not to mention that he had even sent Almin to follow him. Even if the situation was bad, at least one of them should be able to escape, right?
Not a single one of them was able to return… … Moreover, the small team that had entered the mountain to investigate this time was completely annihilated. Not a single one of them was able to return…
ROX’s expression instantly became grave. The surrounding generals also had gloomy expressions. The scene was silent.
None of them liked that Guy Ganzer… ? … but they all recognized his ability. Otherwise, how could he possibly stay in the position of the Empire’s general with his bad character?
“Arthur… What do you think is going on… could it be that a legend has appeared in the Southern Beastmen?”Rox asked the professionals, in the current empire, other than the previous emperor who had suddenly disappeared, the closest knight to a legend in the Empire was the Buddha’s Dawn Divine Sword!
“We can’t rule out this possibility…”. Arthur’s face was solemn. “If this happens, the bones this time might be harder to chew than we thought, but I don’t think it’s very likely. The orcs value glory, and the appearance of such a person has long been famous in the gra.s.sland. Even the current chief of the Gale Tribe, who is as majestic and strategic as him, has never hidden his personal bravery, right?”
“That’s true… but other than a legend, what else could possibly prevent Ganzer from escaping?”A bald general asked curiously.
Arthur narrowed his eyes. “If there were more than eight grand swordmasters and some curse-type shamans ambushing him, it would be possible!”
Everyone:”! !”
The orcs could actually throw out so much high-end combat power at once? Putting aside the fact that they did not have such a reserve, this decision was really sharp!
Even the old Duke, who had always been calm, was slightly shocked. It seemed that he had underestimated the decisiveness of the chief of the Gale Department!
“Then… Should we send more people?”The bald general asked hurriedly.
“No…”. Rox shook his head slowly when he heard that. “We have too little information. We have no idea how many high-end combat forces the southern orcs have. After all, we have not encountered the other party for hundreds of years. Under such circ.u.mstances, it is not appropriate to take the risk to send in our only gold-tier knights. We must use them on the battlefield!”
“But if that’s the case… we’ll completely lose sight of the two sides of the Empire Avenue. Even if we reach the front line safely, if there are experts leading a team from the rear to attack the rear…”
“There’s nothing we can do…”Rox interrupted the other party. “We can only split up and reinforce the rear!”
“This…”everyone looked at each other in dismay. If they split up their forces from the front to reinforce the rear, the forces at the front would weaken. What if the other party was creating a diversion and all their forces were at the front?
Obviously… they were in a pa.s.sive position!
“We lost one round first, Old Buddy!”Arthur said solemnly.
“Yeah…”Rox also nodded with a solemn expression. “The younger generation is really formidable. This wolf child chief lives up to his reputation. I’m afraid this will be the most difficult battle since I took over!”
At this moment, Rob, who was lucky enough to be valued by old ROX, looked at the solemn atmosphere of the generals with a strange look in his eyes… …
The Big Boss was indeed a big boss. His blind guesses made it sound so cool!
From the sound of it, their a.n.a.lysis was actually reasonable. If they didn’t know the truth, they might really believe them…
..
On the other side, in Molendon, the chiefs who received the news also had solemn looks on their faces.
“Still no news from teacher grim?”In the hall of molendor, Hoult asked anxiously. As his subordinates shook their heads slightly, the settlement chiefs in the hall looked even more incredulous!
How was this possible? The eight sword saints of the Fire clan, led by Elder Grim, didn’t come back at all?
In fact, if Rob was here, his expression would have been even more interesting. He might have directly ridiculed, “F * ck, there really are eight of them?”?
The Buddha’s Dawn Sword’s speculation was actually not wrong at all. The ORC side had really sent eight sword saints to snipe the human scout experts. If there were no third party players causing trouble.., today’s plot would definitely be exactly the same as the other side’s speculation!
To be precise, Rox’s rea.s.sessment of Hotell was actually not wrong, because he really had this kind of decisiveness, and his plan was even more meticulous.
Hoult chose a location close to the middle of the Empire Avenue. According to the information and footsteps sent by the Falcons, he calculated the speed of the scouts searching the mountains, and thus set the location at a slightly further distance, in order to wear down their patience, in the wee hours of the morning, this human was most likely to attack when he was distracted.
But since seven hours ago, none of the Falcons that went to investigate could return, and teacher grim did not transmit the signal to the rear as promised… …
And even now… ! Not a single sword saint could return! ! !
This news made everyone not quite believe it, causing seven hours to pa.s.s, but they were still waiting…
Finally… The most fiery-tempered chief of the Thunder tribe, Kagar, was the first to stand up and said gloomily, “There’s no need to wait, it’s obvious that your decision was wrong, Hotell. Your risky decision caused us to lose a batch of top-notch combat strength! !”
Hoult’s face was as dark as water when he heard that, but he did not refute. In the end, any explanation in front of him was futile!
“Alright…”. Marn, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. “We were unable to agree with Hoult’s suggestion back then. Didn’t we all agree in our hearts that the plan was feasible “? Now that we’ve failed, it’s because we’ve underestimated the foundation of the human race. To be honest, the other party was able to invest so much of their top-notch combat power. It’s indeed beyond my imagination. Aren’t they afraid that the North will be lost?”
Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces when they heard that. If they could encircle and annihilate eight sword saints and not even one of them could escape, they should at least have more than double the number of Gold Knights, right?
Was there really such a sufficient reserve of gold knights in the Steel Martial Empire?
“There is no point in discussing failure…”marn continued, “The key is how we should deal with it next. Hoult, what do you think?”
Hoult said solemnly, “Now we can only fight head-on…”
“HMPH… what you said is tantamount to not saying anything!”Kagar sneered disdainfully. “Wouldn’t it have been better if we had done this earlier? In the end, we trusted your decision, which made our chances of winning the decisive battle even lower!”
“You!”Beside Hoult, Mondo glared at him. Just as he was about to curse, Hoult raised his hand to stop him. Hoult took a deep breath, slowly walking over to the fire clan, he bowed and said sincerely, “Because of my wrong decision, it’s all my fault that your clan suffered such a huge loss. After this battle, if I can survive, I will personally go to the fire clan to apologize!”!
The faces of the people from the Fire clan brightened when they heard this. They had also been provoked by Kagar to hold a grudge against Hotell, but now that Hotell had personally come forward as the chief of a clan to apologize.., all of them nodded in relief and said, “For the victory of this great battle, the sacrifice of the elders is glorious!”
“Don’t worry, for the sake of this great victory, the Gale tribe and I will do our best!”Hodel promised once again!
The members of the fire tribe looked at each other and then nodded one after another. Their expressions immediately eased up a lot. Although there was still some grief, as warriors who had been through countless trials and tribulations, they also had an incomparably tenacious heart!
When Kagar saw this, his expression darkened slightly. He thought to himself, ‘this fellow…’. …
Marn also revealed a look of admiration towards Hoult. Not only did he sigh in his heart, “Old friend, it’s not an injustice for you to lose to your son…”
Just like that, under the situation of severe lack of information and loss of strength, both the human and beast clans gave up on the clash and probing of their top-notch strength. In the end, they decided to have a showdown on the plains with their military strength!
On the other side, after Old Marn finished the battle meeting, the first thing he did when he returned to his room was to call over his highly valued successor, WOZAKIR.
“Teacher!”Wozakir was the Earth tribe’s Earth Frost family’s Shaman Rookie. He had extremely high qualifications and was highly valued by Old Marn. He was practically being groomed by the next tribe chief.
As a pure earth shaman, Wozakir’s figure was a little taller than the average orc. His skin was brown like Marn’s, and his eyes were constantly emitting a warm elemental light, he was obviously a high-level shaman who had undergone the baptism of the earth
“Do you have any orders?”Wozakir saluted respectfully when he came to the room.
“I have an important task for you…”Old Marn looked at the sleeping cabbage in the other room and said with a serious expression.
