Chapter 1646 Undercover
In the New World, there are great differences between the colonists and the aborigines in terms of cultural traditions and fashions.
If you look at the "spirit collar" with the customs and traditions of the colonists, it's really not decent for Joan to wear this thing. Instead, he looks like a slave to Fat Todd, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, this is also impossible. After all, the society of the aborigines has little overlap with the society of the colonists. The customs and traditions of the two are different, and even have completely opposite habits.
Joan once heard from his mentor that some indigenous tribes in the New World nodded to express negative and shook their heads to express agreement. How can there be any reason for this?
Joan didn't like wearing ostentatious jewelry such as collars, but for the sake of artifacts, he could only endure this little discomfort, and turned up his collar to cover the collar.
Todd was eleven feet tall, more than twice as tall as Joan. It was tiring to talk to him with his head up, so Joan gestured for Todd to sit down and talk.
The fat giant stared at Joan in bewilderment, as if he didn't understand what his gesture meant.
Joan's heart moved slightly, and instead of explaining, he tried to use telepathy to convey his order to Todd.
The "giant enslavement technique" comes with a "spiritual connection". Joan's spiritual command was conveyed to Todd's mind. The fat giant nodded knowingly and sat down on the ground.
Joan was almost as tall as Todd who was sitting down. Now he could look at his servant at the same level and nodded in satisfaction. He found that Todd's body was covered with wounds of different depths, and most of the wounds were still bleeding. The storage bag, took out a bottle of potion soaked in "Tears of God", and handed it to Todd, asking him to take the medicine to heal his wounds.
Todd took the medicine bottle obediently, spread his broad palms, and curiously observed the small medicine bottle in his hand, then carefully pulled out the cork with two fingers, and drank the clear medicine in one gulp.
After a while, the medicine took effect, and the wound on Todd's body stopped bleeding quickly. His spirit was greatly refreshed, and he looked at Joan with gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
Joan then asked a lot of questions about Fei Zhennan's corps and the Calydon mercenary group. Todd had no culture, limited vision, and little knowledge. Although he knew everything, the information he provided was not of much value.
After Joan finished asking, Slude continued to question Todd.
Under Joan's instruction, Todd also answered truthfully.
Slude couldn't think of anything else to ask, so he leaned into Joan's ear and whispered, "I have an idea, why don't we put Todd back and let him follow Bolsson as an undercover agent?" , so that if the enemy has any new movements, you can get timely information through Todd."
Joan nodded and replied softly, "That's what I planned too."
"Wow! Joan! Slude! You two little foxes are really cunning, you can always come up with bad ideas!" Haakon joked with a smile.
Slude glared at his brother angrily: "What kind of bad idea is this? It's just a basic operation. If you can't even think of this, it only shows that you are too stupid!"
When Todd heard Slude calling his brother "stupid", he seemed to be particularly sensitive to this word, and looked at Haakon sympathetically, with a look of sympathy in his eyes.
Slude looked Todd up and down, and found that the wound on his body had stopped bleeding, but the scars had not healed, so he was relieved, and warned Joan with a serious face: "We can't heal Todd anymore, otherwise he will come back To the enemy camp may arouse Bolson's suspicion."
Joan had no objection to this, and finally told Todd: "You go back to Bolsson now. If he asks how you got back, he will say that you fought your way to the death and escaped with great difficulty! Remember, Don't mention anything about me in front of others, understand?"
"Understood!" Todd nodded solemnly.
"Okay, now you can go back."
Joan waved his hand and sent Todd back to the enemy camp.
...
Two hours later, when the sun was about to set, Todd finally caught up with the retreating Calydonian mercenary group.
After this battle, nearly half of the hill giants were killed, and the mercenaries who escaped the battlefield alive were all wounded and demoralized.
Since the establishment of the Calydon Mercenary Corps, it was the first time that the Calydon Mercenary Corps had suffered such heavy casualties. As the leader, Bolsson knew that he was to blame. Very depressed.
The guard came to inform him that Todd, the leader of the fifth squadron, was injured and survived. Bolsson jumped up in surprise and ran out to meet the savior.
"Blessed by the Holy Mother! 'Father of Giants' Annan appeared! Todd, my good brother, you are finally back!"
Bolsson embraced Todd passionately, kissed him on the cheek, and vowed that he would never treat this good brother who sacrificed his life to save him.
"Todd, tell me what reward you want, no matter money or a woman, as long as you ask, I will never hesitate!"
Todd tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Brother! I want a fat pig! I like pigs!"
Bolsson froze for a moment, then put his arm around Todd's shoulder and laughed.
"My silly brother! Big brother owes you a life. Don't say that you only need a fat pig, even if you want a hundred or a thousand pigs, it's fine!"
...
Todd was sent away, and the sound of fighting in the distance reminded Joan that the battle on the other battlefield was not over yet, so he bid farewell to Haakon and Slude, changed into Eagleman form, flew back to the main battlefield, and checked Mi Engagement between the Degarde Colonial Corps and the Cornwallis Corps.
Just three hours ago, when Joan left the main battlefield, Midgard's side had already gained the upper hand, and victory seemed to be within easy reach.
However, the subsequent development of the battle situation is not the same as what Joan expected.
The Midgard Colonial Legion is indeed gradually expanding its advantage, but the Fizhen Army is more resilient than he expected. Under the command of General Cornwallis, it has stabilized its position, like a firm reef, withstood waves of imperial cavalry. A wave of charge.
After suffering heavy casualties, the Feizhen Infantry Regiment still maintained its basic formation and insisted on not collapsing.
General Cornwallis sent out all three cavalry battalions, including the SS, to cover the flanks of the infantry phalanx.
After the two "disastrous stars" retreated one after another, Feizhen's army mage group, who had been tossed so hard by Joan and Scala, could finally take a breather and returned to the front line one after another to provide much-needed magic support for the troops.
Almost all of their spell slots were drained by the magical machine soldier "Zaku" lurking underground, but the wands they carried with them were not affected by the "Arcane Siphon Field" and could release spells as usual.
