"Bang……"
A powerful hand slammed a rolled-up letter onto the table, causing the dagger and seal on it to tremble slightly.
"This absurd information is obviously false. You actually used an eagle to send a message to the army of Trife Pass to send out scouts to investigate. What are you thinking, Baspar?"
This is a standard military camp, located in the middle of the kingdom. It gathers 120,000 troops drawn from all over the country. It can be regarded as most of the kingdom’s current military strength, and almost all of the elite troops are present.
The soldiers who separated from Riva and his team to deliver intelligence arrived here day and night.
Since the kingdom's elite troops are gathered here, there must be many generals here as well.
Baspar was a tall Soma man with a long beard. He was also a powerful general with a say here. At this moment, he was standing in front of the map at the location mentioned in the researcher's intelligence, and he ignored the complaints of another general.
"Danson, calm down, Baspar is just confirming."
Another general on the side acted as a peacemaker.
The three of them were generals with high positions in the assembled army, and they were generals with the most say under the Marshal of the United Kingdom Army.
"Hersman, that's easy for you to say. We're sending out two hawks, a valuable strategic resource, to deliver such a military order! What if they are needed during this period? How many hawks do we have in total? Are we not going to need them to communicate with the front line?"
General Baspar, who was studying the map, squinted his eyes and looked at the Lingshan Mountain Range that looked like a long dragon. He analyzed the intelligence and found that the most likely location for the orc army to intrude into the kingdom's territory.
But it must be said that even Basba felt that this possibility was not great. Not only was the distance long and the environment harsh, but it was also a long distance across the territory of the Sogian Kingdom. Sogian still had a lot of troops deployed on the border, of course not to guard against the wild orcs, but to guard against their Bia Kingdom.
Faced with Dansen's chattering, Baspar became a little annoyed and turned around to look at him.
"Dansen, two carrier eagles at a time are needed to ensure that intelligence can reach its destination. This is common knowledge in the military. I'm not making a fuss!"
"So is it an exaggeration to believe such ridiculous information? Do you think Sogian's border troops are useless? Even if they are useless, they can't be so bad that they can't even pass on a message, right?"
A vein jumped on Baspar's forehead.
"I never said I believed this intelligence. I just asked the military station over there to send out scouts to investigate. Even if this intelligence is almost certainly false, we cannot ignore it as long as there is a possibility!"
"But the man who came to deliver the letter is a deserter! He should have been defending the fortress with his team, but he showed up here, and followed a worthless civilian ranger! He might be a spy!"
Baspar just looked at him without saying anything. In fact, he had thought about this possibility, but Dansen's attitude made him uncomfortable.
Dansen was muscular but slightly shorter than Baspar. He raised his head slightly and looked at Baspar, who was standing far below him, and glanced at the military map behind him in a mocking manner.
"Buspar, let me remind you that the map of this area of Lingshan has not been updated for 20 years. What can you see? Why don't you go there yourself?"
"you!!!"
"Alright, alright! Stop arguing. Even if this is true, the Marshal has to make the final decision!"
Dansen and Baspar were originally on edge, but when they heard the word "Marshal", the atmosphere immediately became subtle and their expressions became forced smiles.
"Hehe Marshal..."
There was no sound in the military tent for a while, and Hessman rubbed his forehead with a headache.
At the same time, the summoned soldier who was imprisoned in the cage in the military camp was still yelling.
"Tell the generals here!!! Send the troops over immediately!! There is no time to hesitate now, it will be too late!! It will be too late!!!"
"Shut up!"
"Bang~"
The guarding soldier hit him in the face with the butt of his rifle, knocking the messenger soldier with a cracked lip unconscious.
…
At the edge of Lingshan Mountain in the dark night, inside the border of the Kingdom of Sogian, it had not rained for a long time but the ground was already wet.
One trembling hand grabbed the rock in front of him and tried to climb away from the danger behind him.
An axe flew towards them, spinning from far away.
“Wuwuwuwu…Puff…”
The axe blade hit the Sogian soldier in the back.
"cough……"
A large amount of blood coughed out of his mouth, and after twitching twice, the soldier lost his breath.
A wild orc walked up to the corpse step by step, then stepped on the corpse to pull out the axe, bringing out a pool of blood.
Behind him was a massive army of orcs, and at the feet of the army was a battlefield with a small number of orc corpses and a large number of Sogian border troops corpses.
There were some torches and burning branches, and the wild beastmen were putting out the flames.
“I didn’t expect that the border troops of the Sogian Kingdom of the Soma people were so useless!”
"Hehehe, this is good news!"
“Hehehe…” “Hahahaha…”
All the wild beastmen around burst into laughter.
This was a night sneak attack. The two thousand border troops of the Sogian Kingdom stationed in front of the mountain had no time to react and died in this unexpected night attack. The price paid by the wild orcs was less than a hundred people.
Although it was a night attack, it was not yet time to go to bed. I didn't expect that so many of these guys would go to bed so early, and their combat effectiveness and morale were also very low, which led to such a horrifying casualty ratio.
The orcs broke through here, and large numbers of troops spread out to the left and right, deciding to wipe out all of Sogian's garrisons along this border.
The main force of the wild beastmen continued to advance, and the army was no longer the nearly 10,000 people that Youyi had seen before...
…
Ten days later, also at night, a scout from the Biya Kingdom went deep into the woods in front of the mountain. They were one of the scout teams that had crossed the Lingshan Mountain to explore after receiving the message from the Flying Eagle.
The Eagle Letter has always represented the most urgent military information of the Kingdom of Bia. The army that received the order did not dare to delay and immediately sent out all the scouts.
At this moment, an old soldier led a dozen younger soldiers down the mountain and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop.
Many scouts have also discovered that something is wrong.
"Dad, there are so many footprints here!"
"Hmm... all those short trees and plants have been trampled flat, and there are many traces of roads being cut by knives... everyone, spread out and take a look!!"
“Yes!” “Yes!!”…
A group of scouts immediately dispersed and soon made more surprising discoveries.
"Dad!! There's a lot of pack animal poop here!!!"
"Dad, there are human bones in the feces here!!! It's the troll's feces!!!"
“It’s here too!!”
“And this!!!”
…
A group of scouts were sweating profusely, and even the calmest "old man" felt cold all over.
They had no way of estimating how many wild beastmen had passed by, but they knew that the number was definitely enormous.
"Retreat!!! Retreat!! The military intelligence is true!!! We must report back quickly!!"
The scouts returned in panic along the same route.
…
In the distance, hundreds of thousands of orc troops have been deployed on the riverside. At least 40,000 to 50,000 orcs are crossing the dry river, and more than half of the giant monsters are walking in the front as the first echelon.
The river was not completely dry, it was still about knee-deep and very muddy underneath, so the crossing was very slow.
A dam several dozen territorial miles out of sight stood quietly in the canyon. A dozen figures stood on the top of the mountain, quietly looking at the dam below.
Riva crossed his hands and used different finger positions to correspond to the changes in position and brightness of the stars in the sky.
"Zhonghuan Star has reached the closest position to Tiannan Star! Push!"
"good!"
Riva simply waved his hand, and more than a dozen people pushed the half-person-high, nearly circular stone forward. There were four other huge stones of similar size on the side, all of which were carried here step by step by more than a dozen people in the past two days.
Gurian told Riva the time to push the stone, saying that he calculated it with his humble wisdom. In fact, there is a thought body that can observe the progress of the orc army from a distance, and deciding the time by observing the stars is a chance for Riva to show off.
"One two three!!! One two three!!!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The boulder rolled down the hillside, heading towards the statue below with great momentum.
It hit a protruding stone wall somewhere and was thrown up and crashed straight into the statue.
"boom!!"
There was a loud bang and the entire statue shook.
Many Sogians at the dam at the foot of the mountain heard the sound but didn't know what happened.
"boom!!!"
There was another sound, and the entire statue began to shake slightly.
"boom!!!"
The statue was shaking more and more violently, and the rubble on the cliff was rolling like an earthquake.
"boom!!!"
The fourth boulder hit the statue, and the entire statue began to fall over with the sound of rocks rubbing against it under its feet. The upper part of the statue began to fall over first, and then the entire statue fell towards the dam at the foot of the mountain.
“Boom…”
The ground shook violently, and a deep crack was smashed into the dam. Ten seconds later, there was a loud bang like a second explosion, and the water pressure directly shattered the entire dam!
…
The number of wild beastmen crossing the river is increasing, and the frontline troops are not far from the river bank.
“Boom boom boom…”
A roar like an earthquake or a thousand horses galloping started from barely audible to deafening in the night.
"What's that sound?"
A wild beastman looked doubtfully towards the direction of the canyon extending from the river.
"Not good!!! Run!!! All soldiers, run!! Run out of the river!!!"
A Wild Beast general roared wildly, and many Wild Beasts who realized that something was wrong or were still confused began to run wildly on the shallow river surface which was still a little muddy.
“Boom boom boom boom…”
Wow wow wow…
Endless waves arrived in an instant, and countless wild beastmen were swept away by the flood before they could react. Some giant monsters crouched down to resist, but it was useless. They lasted for two seconds before being washed away together. Many weapons pierced the bodies of their own soldiers in the waves, and the turbid torrent was faintly red...
All the wild beastmen on the shore who had not yet crossed the river looked at this scene in horror, and the wild beastmen at the front had cold hands and feet.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The crazy flood was so terrifying and it was still expanding. Many wild beasts fled away from the river in panic.
The orc generals in the center of the team all looked at the river with gloomy faces. Their bodies, which were already filled with black aura, looked even more evil, making the surrounding orcs dare not make a sound, and even the giant monsters seemed cautious.
The river before them, which should have been in its dry season, was now rife with huge waves. What made the wild beastmen even more furious was that more than 20,000 wild beastmen who had crossed the river first had been swept away by the sudden raging waves and were basically dead.
The general of the Wild Orc King's tent turned his head to look at the distant canyon where the river was surging. Far away, Riva, Gurian and others on the top of the mountain were also looking towards the distant river. The two sides looked at each other from a distance beyond their sight.
