Chapter 631: After not seeing each other for a few months, have all the orcs become so brave?
"That's right!"
Brand also agreed with Mr. Cecil's idea.
When the army pushes forward, the only thing that can stop them is the gray screen of war.
But they are warriors who are not afraid of death orcs, and they have carefully built fortresses and fortifications!
The greatest use of the orcs' gray fog of war is not to confront them head-on.
Instead, they gather superior forces and carry out precise attacks on their weak points or supply lines.
Furthermore, because it is at a disadvantage in detecting intelligence, the empire is bound to act safely and step by step.
——The gray fog of war can effectively slow down the offensive pace of the Imperial Legion!
To change this, the empire needs to invest more in intelligence detection.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the gray fog of war at the end of the northern field of vision, covering the sky and the ground.
Brand feels that this may not be an easy task.
While he was thinking about it, the team in front began to walk aside.
A team formed a long line, coming towards you.
Different from the teams we met before.
Many people in this team have bandages on their bodies.
There are also some injured people with pale faces lying on the carriages transporting supplies to rest.
Other uninjured soldiers acted like escorts, protecting the injured in the center of the team.
After taking a closer look, Mr. Romien explained:
"This should be the team of wounded soldiers who retreated from the border legions.
In recent times, there have been a lot of battles on the border.
The orcs have organized many large-scale attacks.
Although these attacks were repelled by us,
many soldiers were injured or even killed in these battles.
Among them, those who were seriously injured and needed a long time to recover would be sent to safer rear areas to rest and recuperate."
After hearing this , Brand nodded clearly.
While riding a war horse, Brand saw Grand Master Mesa chatting with a burly warrior wearing shiny high-end armor on the side of the road.
From the emblem on the warrior's armor, Brand realized that this gentleman, like his Uncle Anthony, was a commander of the Imperial Infantry Corps.
At the same time, he should also be the leader of this team.
Because he didn't know him, Brand didn't go over to join in the fun.
After summoning the light screen of the empty shadow screen, Brand began to check the border situation on the intelligence map.
Now at this point in time.
The border area north of their location has no red star for the orcs.
Instead, a battle was breaking out near their destination, Spruce Castle.
——Two big orcs are leading the legion to attack the border blockade!
In the past few days, every time Brand checked the intelligence map, he could find that the border of the empire was being attacked by the Orc Legion.
Like now, in addition to the long border near Spruce Castle, there are 9 other areas that are in a similar state of war.
One can imagine how much pressure the legions guarding the border area are under.
But they can't retreat either.
Once the defense in the border area is abandoned.
The gray curtain of war will completely spread southward.
At that time, the orcs will cross the border more unscrupulously, cut off the connections between the fortresses, and cause them even greater trouble!
Just when Brand was sighing.
The infantry regiment transporting the wounded passed them by, and Lord Mesa rode up on his horse.
Brand is seen looking at the intelligence map.
Mr. Mesa slowed down, followed him, and looked at him curiously. Then, he said:
"There seem to be quite a lot of orcs in the north of Spruce Castle.
Although the soldiers of the Imperial Legion have blocked the ground, there is nothing they can do about the sky.
In the past two days, the sky around Spruce Castle has often been dark. There are hawks coming and going.
On our journey this afternoon, there is a certain possibility of encountering hawks."
After learning about such a thing, Mr. Romien said leisurely:
"If there is really a hawk attack, then you But we must protect our logistics personnel and the baggage vehicles."
After hearing this, Mr. Mesa smiled and asked:
"The Holland Family Knights and the Library Mage Group are protecting you on the left and right. Next, what are you afraid of?
Besides, it's only a certain possibility. With
a team of tens of thousands of people like ours, even if the orcs want to attack, we have to weigh our own strength!"
As the Mesa Great War After the master finished speaking, Brand said:
"Uncle Romine, please don't worry, the library can enter combat mode at any time."
After saying this, looking at the dark clouds above his head, Brand said curiously:
"By the way, Mei Uncle Sa, since our detection methods cannot penetrate the gray curtain of war,
will there be big orcs with legions ambushing inside, and then looking for suitable targets for raids?"
Mr. Mesa nodded and said:
"Of course it is. It's possible.
In fact, such a thing just happened yesterday afternoon.
Since the big orcs hid from our detection array and sneaked into the border half a year ago, the
Military Affairs Department has specially formed many interception teams specifically to target the big orcs. , and specially allocated a batch of high-end military equipment, including the Great Knight Golem.
Once a large orc suddenly appears in the area within the border, these blocking teams will set out with the equipment as soon as possible to stop it.
So far, several large orcs have been killed by our interception team.
Yesterday afternoon, although the large orcs who infiltrated in the gray fog of war were not left behind by us, they were also seriously injured. The
accompanying elite eagle The entire human team was also killed by us."
After explaining this, Mr. Mesa raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.
Then, he suddenly felt helpless and said:
"But then again, in yesterday's sudden attack, we inflicted heavy losses on the attackers.
But before the interception team arrived, we also suffered a lot of losses. Let the orcs seize the opportunity.
Therefore, there is still a certain risk in marching in the wild!"
Chatting along the way, we stopped to rest and eat at noon, and continued marching in the afternoon.
What was not a big surprise was that
they were indeed attacked!
When the team reaches an open area.
Suddenly there was a "black rain" in the sky, falling silently!
The most powerful Mr. Holland was the first to discover the anomaly!
"Attention, there are enemies in the sky."
After warning, the power of the great knight swept across the sky.
Those "black rains" in the sky exploded into countless black feathers in an instant, setting off a violent storm in the surrounding area!
Then, they dissipated into nothingness!
Seeing such a scene, Mr. Romien was a little surprised and said:
"With this number of black-winged spears, there are probably not a few hawks in the sky!
No wonder they dare to attack a team of tens of thousands of people like us!"
On the side, Mr. Robert The master shrugged and said:
"There is no doubt that this is because we are transporting supplies, so we want to try to cause damage.
But what makes me more curious is:
there are clearly hundreds of mages wearing mage robes in our team. There is no disguise, it is obviously not an ordinary legion!
After not seeing each other for a few months, have the orcs north of Spruce Castle become so brave now?"
