Chapter 498 Battle for the Pass (1)
Before the morning light illuminated the sky, smoke had already begun to rise in the camp, and the warriors stood in groups holding knives to bake the bread with the knives on them.
"Get ready to set off!" Apophis Breo said vaguely to several senior officers while gnawing on the toasted dry bread.
"Well, the soldiers are having a meal! Let's leave after the meal!" Olaf looked at the other centurion.
"The knights are ready to go at any time!" The big knight's face was flat, and his expressionless face made Olaf want to punch him.
"..." After looking at each other with another centurion, Olaf sighed helplessly. These knights were like a group of big animals, and they were extremely durable. Sometimes Olaf thought that if there were enough knights, there would be no chance of death. There is no need for infantry like them. After all, it only takes a few days for a group of knights to go up there. Why bother with them? Marching all day is like crawling...
"Well, let the soldiers eat up! We won't have a chance to stop and eat on the way!" Apophis Breo nodded.
"In fact, we have already ordered it to go!" Olaf and another centurion said seriously. He is an officer and he doesn't have this vision. The hard battle they face below is bound to not give them much rest time, so this meal It will most likely be the last breakfast for many people.
…
"Prizes! Our goal is ahead! Capture it! Our territory will be based on this! The glory of the King's Landing family will last forever!" Apophis Breo roared.
"Go!" Apophis Breo ordered.
At the same time, he also ordered the soldiers to bury all non-essential supplies. All the Sharma horses were untied from the sledges and carried the soldiers' armor or arrows on their backs. This was used to reduce the weight of the soldiers and speed up the march.
Apophis Breo turned his head and took a deep look at the locked camp, and then followed the team without looking back. He understood that if they won this battle, they would still have a chance to come back to retrieve the supplies. If they failed... Then these supplies are of little use.
"If you don't succeed, you will be punished!" Apophis Breo's eyes showed an unprecedented ferocity. Just as Roland looked forward to the revival of the empire, Apophis Breo also eagerly looked forward to the revival of his family. You can even give anything for it!
…
"Hoo ho ho!" Apophis Breo breathed heavily, looking at the winding mountain road and the pass hidden between the peaks.
What Apophis Breo didn't know was that if they didn't take this ancient pass now, the expanding Beorn people would also occupy it a few years later. It was only after the Beorn people occupied this place that the pass became Becomes always smooth...
"After the first Battle of Azanubiza, this place was safe for a short time, but then the orcs came back... The second Battle of Azanubiza did not affect this place, but the garrison here should be Make some moves!" Apophis Breo pointed at the map and said to several people.
"The garrison won't increase, right?" the great knight said with a dark face.
"Thank you!" Olaf's face darkened. He was really not afraid of crows' mouths!
"Probably not. Your Highness told me that the Lonely Mountain Expedition passed here! They killed most of the Orc garrison." Apophis Breo shook his head.
"Orcs are generally organized into tribes. It has only been a little over a year. Even if the orcs are pigs, they can't give birth to thousands of people!" Olaf shook his head. If there are no unexpected circumstances, here The orcs should still be the same tribe as before, and they are still the tribe that was maimed.
"Then we can try to attack by force?" The great knight drew out his sharp knight sword!
"Well, I hope you can resist the attack of the rolling stone!" Olaf made a gesture of invitation. Although they look down upon orcs, they still have simple tools to defend the city, not to mention the help of the infinitely powerful trolls. The orcs' rolling stones and the human's rolling stones are simply two species, and they are replaced by the human's. You might be able to collect the body if you hit it with a wooden rolling stone, but if the orcs smash it hard, they can only wait until after the war to scoop you up with a wooden basin.
The knights of King's Landing looked at the steep mountains and swallowed their saliva. After all, the knights were just reckless men, not fools. They died because their brains were stepped on by the giant dragon.
"Everyone is right about the art of war!" Apophis Breo nodded seriously, and everyone immediately laughed, and the tense atmosphere eased a bit.
"Okay, let's get down to business, we can't charge mindlessly, the orcs will wake up laughing!" Apophis Breo said sternly.
"Knights, dismount and fight on foot! Knights in front! Soldiers behind! No matter what happens! Don't stop! Even if I am killed! Do you understand?" Apophis Breo stared at a few people.
Several people's throats rolled a few times and they opened their mouths without saying anything.
"Do you understand?" Apophis Breo growled.
"Understood!" Everyone who was shocked by Apophis Breo's yell quickly nodded in agreement.
"We are fighting in the front and we can't estimate the lord...help us take care of him!" The knight quietly pulled Olaf and whispered in a low voice.
"Don't worry, sir, nothing will happen to you! Unless you step over my body!" Olaf nodded firmly.
"We will attack before dusk! We must take down the main buildings in the old pass before it gets dark! Otherwise, night is the best cover for the orcs!" Apophis Breo ordered.
"Okay!" Everyone nodded secretly.
"Tell the soldiers, leave no one alive! Young or old! Kill everyone except us who is breathing!" Apophis Breo was filled with murderous intent.
"These Orcs are not worthy of sympathy. They have occupied this place for a long time and have killed countless travelers passing by... Don't feel any psychological burden to kill them all!" Olaf added, because he was afraid that everyone would have a psychological burden on killing Orcs, old and young. It was a burden, so he explained a few words specially, but he saw everyone looking at him strangely.
"Um? Did I say something wrong?" Olaf asked.
"No, that's very good! But maybe you don't need to emphasize it. Look at the eyes of the soldiers?" Apophis Breo shrugged and said something to Olaf.
"I'm even more worried now that they're going crazy and won't even be able to find anyone alive to ask questions!" Apophis Breo said sarcastically.
"That's really great...Oh no, what a shame!" Olaf tried to look sad.
"Did anyone tell you that the acting was fake..." The corner of Apophis Breo's mouth twitched.
