Chapter 296: Attack on the Southwest Border (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)



"There is such a thing?"

Hogus sounded a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he murmured, "If this is the case, then the authenticity of the intelligence will have to be raised to a higher level."

"Hmm... So until the situation becomes clear, your attitude towards Lei Te remains unchanged. You should not reveal the content of the previous conversation to Lei Te. Just maintain your previous attitude."

"I see, I know what to do!"

Two days later, Rhett rushed back to the Sixth Legion's temporary base and met people from the Fourth Legion in the hall.

Since the deputy commander of the Fourth Army Corps died not long ago, there was only the commander of the army in the hall. He was a plump middle-aged beauty with short brown hair. She saluted heroically. When she saw Lei Te coming in from outside, she looked at Lei Te with her beautiful eyes and said with a smile:

"Hello, Deputy Commander Leiter, I have heard of your reputation for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to meet you."

"It's our first meeting. Commander Bomir said that your Fourth Army also had outstanding military achievements in the past. I hope our future cooperation will be as smooth as this."

"With a strong man like you who has mastered the mysteries present, we can definitely do it." The commander of the Fourth Legion said a few polite words, then looked at Lei Te and sighed: "By the way, I didn't expect you to be so young. I can sense that you are less than fifty years old."

"Is fifty still young? In the world of ordinary people, you're almost an old man." Rhett shrugged and smiled. He looked at the commander of the Fourth Legion in front of him. He was wearing red armor and had a pair of particularly bright blue pupils. Through the gaps in the armor, he could vaguely see a swan-like white neck.

"Haha, there's no point in worrying about age. Now that Rhett is back, why don't we discuss what we should do next." Ledros raised his head from the sand table and yelled at Rhett and the commander of the Fourth Legion.

“Why are you in such a hurry, Ledros? You’re still the same as before. Your straightforward temper hasn’t changed at all.” The commander of the Fourth Legion rolled his eyes at Ledros, then looked back at Leiter and said with a smile, “Before we start working together, you should at least introduce yourself. Freya, commander of the Fourth Legion, eighth-level dark sky knight, unmarried…”

"Wait! You old woman, do I need to mention the fact that you are unmarried when introducing yourself here? Are you trying to seduce my deputy legion commander to come to you? I can only tell you - no way!" Ledros looked at Freya with a wary look and emphasized loudly as if he was guarding against a thief.

The knights who were standing guard quietly around them couldn't help but laugh out loud, but under Freya's sudden, murderous gaze, they all fell silent and dared not speak.

Lei Te's face darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He didn't know what to say, so he could only walk towards the sand table and said, "Captain Freya is really humorous..."

"That's right, I was just joking, Ledros. You don't have the mind of a man at all. You're even worse than your sister." Freya gave Ledros a mocking look.

Ledros curled his lips, not wanting to argue with Freya, and said casually, "Tsk, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Talents like Leiter are popular everywhere, but he is a hero of our Sixth Legion. The only way for him to leave in the future is to get a promotion! But... since you praised my sister, I'll forgive your little thoughts just now."

Hearing this, Leiter pretended to be curious and said, "From what you said, it seems that your sister is also on the cold front, Ledros?"

“That’s right.” Ledros nodded and said, “I forgot to explain this to you before. My sister and I actually came to the Frost Front together. However, because she is a precious light magician and joined the Frost Healing Team, we can’t see her in the legion.”

"Next time you meet Annabella, thank her for me. She saved me half a year ago, but I never had the chance to thank her in person." Freya said in a flat tone.

"Saved you once? Were you seriously injured at that time?" Ledros looked at Freya and said in surprise.

"I guess so. We were ambushed by a shadow tiger. That guy's shadow transformation was almost invisible even in the daytime, so it was really hard to guard against him."

“Well, this shadow tiger man is probably the top one among the royal bloodline. It is indeed very difficult to deal with. I wonder if it is dead now…” Ledros said with a frown.

"I'm afraid it's difficult. When I heard other orcs call it, its last name was Rogge, which is the last name of the chieftain of the Shadow Tiger tribe. It is an absolutely elite orc." Freya said with some resentment: "I hope it doesn't die, so that I can have a chance to avenge it with my own hands in the future!"

“Just you? Forget it.” Ledros laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, “Fighting alone, unless you can comprehend the mysteries, it will be difficult to gain an advantage against the royal orcs, not to mention the descendants of the Rogue family…”

"How do you know if you don't try? I've been keeping an eye out for them over the past six months, but unfortunately there's still no clue." Freya snorted softly.

At this time, Lei Te listened to the conversation between the two and said thoughtfully:

"By the way, when I was on patrol a few days ago, most of the soldiers died at the hands of Shadow Tigers. To be able to deal with so many mid-level and even high-level extraordinary beings, it must have been high-level Shadow Tigers who took action. Maybe... one of them was the one who hurt you before?"

Freya's eyes lit up slightly, but then frowned and said, "Hearing what you said, I can't rule out this possibility, but... the cold front battlefield is so vast, and there are quite a few orcs, so the probability is still too low."

“Who cares? No matter if it’s true or not, even if we kill their companions, it can be considered revenge to a certain extent.” Ledros shouted, “Let’s quickly discuss tactical coordination and team arrangements. Time waits for no one. We need to get to the center of the battlefield as soon as possible.”

"Well, business is more important. I think they may take action again tonight. It will take at least half a day to get to the edge of the center line of the battlefield from here, and it will take several days to cross the entire center line of the battlefield. We should discuss the results within two hours." Rhett also said in agreement.

Freya nodded, walked to the edge of the sand table, stared at one of the peaks, pointed and said, "According to the information sent by my scouts, there is a group of night cats lurking here. We might as well send a team to eliminate them first, but deliberately let a few of them escape, and then go back to pass on the news to see if we can attract the elite surprise attack team of the orcs."

Leiter's eyes flickered after hearing this. Since Freya said so, if nothing unexpected happened, the original trajectory should be to act according to the plan the other party said and head to that mountain, but during the march, they encountered the battle between the Third Legion and the Asian Dragons...

"So what? Orcs often cross the center of the battlefield to carry out harassment operations." Freya said in a cold voice, "Perhaps the orc raiders have been harassing for several days and need a place to rest. After years of war, there are not many well-preserved mountains in the center of the battlefield, and it is difficult to find a hidden place to rest. It just so happens that there is no other suitable mountain to hide within a thousand miles of the mountain I mentioned. Even if we don't encounter orcs, it will be very helpful to check this place out."

“That makes sense…” Ledros stroked his chin, looked at Leiter, and asked, “Deputy Commander Leiter, what do you think?”

When Lei Te heard the legion commander ask him, he wanted to answer immediately - I must go! But then he thought, it would be more appropriate to verify it with a simulation, right? After all, that group of orcs seemed to be very strong. I wonder if they will encounter any unexpected situations this time...

So he had an idea and opened the system to verify it.

[Do you want to start text simulation? Each year of simulation consumes 5 points of destiny. ]

"Yes, simulate for one year."

[On October 8, 481 of the Jinlun calendar, you followed the Sixth Legion to the center of the battlefield. This time you requested support from the Fourth Legion. On the way, you encountered the Third Legion fighting with a Yalong army, and the Third Legion was clearly at a disadvantage. But with your participation, the situation quickly reversed.]

[But the good trend didn't last long. You heard a roar of shock and anger, and then there was a shaking wave in the sky, the fire was dazzling, and the rain of fire fell from the sky. You cast the Rock Light Shield and the Earth Armor to protect yourself, and at the same time quickly gathered the troops and began to evacuate. Finally, you looked up at the sky and vaguely saw the familiar figure of King Milan through the fire. He was fighting with a shadow tiger covered in black fog in the sky. ]

[The Shadow Tigers wanted to break through the obstacles and attack your troops, but you heard King Milan threaten to annihilate the enemy's royal orc troops, which made them afraid to act rashly. In the end, you evacuated smoothly.]

[On October 10, you were resting in the temporary base of the Sixth Legion. King Milan suddenly appeared in your room and asked about your action plan for that day. After you told him the truth, you asked him why he was fighting with the strong orcs in the Holy Domain in that place? King Milan said that he just happened to pass by there, and then asked you if you were willing to leave the Sixth Legion and join the Coldstream Guard. After careful consideration, you rejected this invitation.]

[On January 11, 482 of the Jinlun calendar, you led your team to fight a Shadow Tiger army. Because you sent more people in advance, you won a great victory. After returning to the base, you received intelligence from the scouts that the orcs had assembled eight Saints, while our side had assembled twelve Saints, including three kings and many important members, to counter-encircle the orcs. It is said that two Saints of the orcs were seriously injured in this battle, but overall they retreated smoothly. You were extremely shocked and confused by this.]

[On January 13, 482 of the Jinlun calendar, after communicating with Ledros, you once again joined forces with the Fourth Legion to sweep the center of the battlefield. When passing through the Ice Belt Creek (17, 28) area, you encountered a sneak attack by three pale knights. The strange blood energy fluctuations emanating from them made you feel quite familiar, so you ordered the large force to retreat while joining forces with Ledros and Freya to fight against the three pale knights.]

[After a fierce fight, the three of you successfully captured them, and only Freya and Ledros were injured. When Ledros was about to interrogate the three, you stopped him and quickly retreated with the other two. The next moment, the three Pale Knights self-destructed.]

[On the way back, the two asked you how you knew the three people would self-destruct? You just said that you had outstanding mental power and sensed something unusual. By observing their expressions, you realized that this explanation did not dispel their doubts.]

[On January 21, return to Frost Fortress and report the intelligence about your encounter with the Pale Knight]

[On January 27, you found an excuse to leave the Legion base alone and headed to Jackdaw Valley to see if you could still meet the Pale Knight.]

[On February 4, you arrived at Jackdaw Valley. It was empty all around. You searched around but found nothing. But just as you were about to return, King Milan suddenly appeared and asked you what your purpose was in coming here.]

[Facing the other party's scrutiny, you realized that your abnormal behavior aroused his suspicion, so you quickly thought of a way out and said that you had received a note from a mysterious person, which mentioned that Sherman was not dead, and that the commander of the Third Army was also a traitor to the Coldstream Defense Line. Upon hearing this, King Milan looked at you strangely, and finally took you back to the Coldstream Camp.]

[On February 27, you heard the news that the commander of the Third Army was dismissed and disappeared in the cold current camp.]

[On March 13, you went to the Alchemy Workshop. This time, you did not encounter any unexpected situations.]

[On March 27, you heard that Master Isad was assassinated by a mysterious strongman while on a mission and unfortunately died.]

[On April 7, you received an order that you would follow the Eighth Legion to flank the orc army due to a sudden massive attack by the orcs. That night, a great battle broke out in an area near the center of the battlefield.]

[On April 15, the war lasted for seven days and nights. The light of the elements and fighting spirit illuminated the sky, blood dyed the land red, and corpses spread out like a continuous carpet. In this battle, you were strongly targeted, and several high-level orcs besieged you, but because you were prepared in advance and moved your range of activities closer to other high-level extraordinary people, you successfully protected the lives of Lawrence and McCovey, but Tucker still died in this war. ]

[June 3, the pain of losing your son made you hate the orcs to the extreme. Every time you went out on a mission, you were particularly cruel to the orcs. More and more orcs died at your hands, and soon you became famous in the orc camp.]

[On July 14, when you were on patrol again, you suddenly felt a pressure on your heart. The next moment, you heard a violent roar and a heat wave in the air. King Milan's sudden appearance surprised you. Then, a strong man from the Sanctuary among the Asian Dragons was hit by a ball of fire and fell to the ground. The two of them started a great battle. At the urging of King Milan, you fled in a hurry, but were still affected by the aftermath of the battle and were seriously injured.]

[On July 21, Lawrence fought a life-and-death battle with Doss and finally broke through to become the Earth Knight.]

[On July 24, Sveta forgot to bring her hat while taking a walk, caught a cold, and had to stay in bed.]

[On July 29, you heard the news that King Milan was seriously injured, and your original doubts about him disappeared.]

[On August 2, after Maru's careful care, Sveta recovered. Thinking back on his experiences during these days, he was very grateful to Maru and decided not to hide it anymore. He expressed his feelings that day, and the two happily got together.]

[On August 11, while on patrol, you suddenly heard intelligence from the scouts that the canyon defense line was attacked by a mysterious strongman, and strangely, not only the humans, but also the orcs suffered heavy losses. After asking a few questions, you learned the information you were most concerned about - a large number of corpses disappeared! ]
