Chapter 500 Battle for the Pass (3)

"Very well, what you said makes sense, but I'm actually speechless!" The great knight shrugged.

"The location here is good. Although it is severely weathered, it can be used with a little repair! And the orcs don't try to expand this place? I think there are many places here that can be dug deeper!" Apophis· Breo said with emotion that the Orcs are indeed a famous race in Middle-earth that holds gold bricks and begs for food. The location of the old pass is good, but the Orcs have no intention of using it or holding on to it. They just need to repair it and turn it into a fortress before giving it to them. Thousands of people were thrown inside, and Apophis Breo was probably vomiting blood by now.

"I just checked. The orcs have not repaired the above-ground buildings in the pass, but the tunnels, bunkers, and secret passages underground have been carefully reinforced and repaired. The most powerful thing is that they have opened up the connection between almost every tunnel. The entire underground The network extends in all directions..." Olaf grinned, half-orcs still have merit, at least these guys can compete with dwarves in terms of digging holes.

"Huh? The underground has been carefully repaired?" Apophis Breo was stunned for a moment, then frowned, as if he remembered something.

…

"Your Highness..." Apophis Breo looked respectfully at the man sitting in front of him.

Roland rested his head on one hand and looked at the blue sky outside the window casually and said slowly: "Apophis, do you know the past of Lao Pass?"

"This... I've heard a little bit about it, please let me know for sure, Your Highness!" Apophis Breo said respectfully.

"Pay attention to those underground rats, don't let the soldiers pay for the commander's carelessness!" Roland knocked on the table lightly, and the clear sound seemed to hit Apophis Breo's heart.

"Rat?" Apophis Breo frowned.

"Well, the orcs who were originally eliminated after the Battle of Azanubiza returned there by digging holes! So you need to be careful of orcs sneak attacks from underground!" Roland glanced at Apophis Breo.

"Pfft!" Apophis Breo suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Am I funny?" Roland's face was filled with confusion.

"No, no, no! I just thought of the two country rats you described battling wits and courage under the Misty Mountains..." Apophis Breo couldn't help laughing.

"..." Roland held his forehead and was speechless, God is such a bastard...

…

"No! Let our people investigate the underground situation immediately and find the secret passage!" Apophis Breo came to his senses immediately and gave the order quickly!

Orcs are as good at drilling holes as dwarves, and Roland once said that these orcs return to this place through the underground, so Apophis Breo immediately became extremely vigilant. He didn't want to fall asleep without being able to sleep. get up.

…

"Your Highness! I think you should use that imperial outpost!" After a while, Olaf, who was sweating profusely, and another centurion emerged from the stone steps below.

"What do you mean?" Apophis Breo stared at the two of them.

"I suggest you go down and see for yourself!" Olaf shrugged, looking helpless to complain.

Apophis Breo looked at the two of them deeply after hearing this, and then got in holding a torch.

After entering the pass, Apophis Breo clearly felt a rotten and moldy smell. However, after thinking that this was the habitat of the orcs, Apophis Breo instantly felt at ease. The place where the orcs lived could Only when it is clean can there be ghosts.

"Pfft!" Apophis Breo stepped down and heard a strange sound, and then a stench followed his nose straight to the great Duke of King's Landing's Heavenly Spirit Cap.

"Yue!" Apophis Breo couldn't help but vomited out after seeing his feet clearly. After all, few people could watch without changing their expressions without reacting after stepping into the orc excrement that had reached their ankles.

"I'm going to kill these bastards!" Apophis Breo endured nausea before pulling out his foot from the puddle. Fortunately, the high-top steel combat boots almost covered the entire calf, otherwise Apophis Breo Ou probably had to amputate his leg in situ.

"Sir, be careful!" The two people who had just reacted quickly went over to help Apophis Breo.

"Hoo!" Under the light of the torch, Apophis Breo could clearly see the surrounding environment. This was a stone chamber, which was obviously integrated with the pass outside. They were all built and carved out of the mountain. Although the orcs don't pay much attention to the environmental guards, they do maintain the underground buildings very well, if you can ignore the moldy walls.

"A dark and humid environment is the easiest place for evil spirits to breed!" the lord shook his head and sighed.

…

After probably spending several hours, Apophis Breo finally completed the entire above-ground and underground part of the old pass. Now he finally understood why Olaf let him use the imperial outpost, which was originally a pass building with distinct functions. The facilities were basically penetrated by the orcs, and the largest bunker directly lost its original role of stationing troops. After all, have you ever seen any fortress with dozens of entrances and exits for stationing troops? The most outrageous thing is that there are actually several entrances leading outside the pass...

"How long will it take to clean up these repairs?" Apophis Breo asked with a dark face.

"Let me tell you something you don't want to hear... At this time, the old pass has basically lost its basic function as a pass." Several officers looked at each other and said one after another.

"Gah!" Apophis Breo gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear those orcs alive. After all, only orcs could destroy a good pass.

"Are the upper and lower passes abandoned?" Apophis Breo asked still unwilling to give up.

"There is no difference. The most basic defensive capabilities of a pass have been greatly reduced, but the damage below is more serious. Now this place is like a sieve, and we don't know where many passages lead to!" The great knight was distressed. road.

"What should we do tonight?" Apophis Breo asked for everyone's opinions.

"We have no choice. The open space inside the Gao Pass Pass is quite large. We can only establish a long-term camp there. And the most important thing is that the open space is surrounded by the pass city walls for protection, because it is the highest point of the pass, so there There is no passage to the inside of the mountain, and we won't be backstabbed by the orcs if we hold on there!" Olaf pointed to the platform above.

"And there is a mountain spring there, and the water source of the entire pass is also there!" the knight added.

"The most important thing is that the area is large enough. The platform can actually be called a small city. In addition, it is protected by city walls. As long as we seal the stone stairs leading up, it will be a strong fortress!" Another centurion was also pleased. nod.

"Then gather the soldiers, let's go up and garrison them!" Apophis Breo did as he was told, and ordered immediately without any delay.

"Tell the soldiers to work harder. We can only set up camp in the dark, otherwise we will have to go to the northwest wind!" Apophis Breo said sincerely as he looked at the completely dark sky.
