Chapter 744 Premonition
Chapter 753 Premonition
Thanks to the heavy casualties of the Orc army over the years, the war five years ago can be said to have drained the blood of the Orcs' mobile forces. Now the only troops capable of stopping Roland are the Orc Wolf Riders of Mordor, but Roland is willing to gamble with Sauron!
Sauron is now in a dilemma. Except for the Mordor army, the armies of other territories have lost their offensive power. Even if they have recovered a little in the past five years, they can only maintain a defensive formation. Don't say whether Sauron knows that Roland has launched a great expedition, even if he knows that his hand can't be stretched too far! If the troops are too few, they will be suppressed by Roland in one go, and if the troops are too many, they will be crippled, and he will be a commander without troops! The elite Orc Wolf Riders are far from being comparable to those Orc Infantrymen. The price of human life is dozens of times different!
...
"Come back alive!" Renault patted the shoulders of the brothers Luke Leopold and Merck Leopold. They will participate in the Great Expedition as the commanders of the two Flood Infantry Legions!
"I will, General. Wait for us to come back for a drink!" Luke Leopold smiled.
"Yeah!" Renault nodded. The journey was long and no one knew what the future would be like, but wasn't that what humans were all about? Fearlessness and curiosity drove humans to spread their footsteps all over Middle-earth!
...
"Click! Click! Click!" Heavy footsteps accompanied by the sound of armor rubbing rang out, and a green forest of guns slowly moved across the land. In front of them were the Lagran City guards lined up in four rows, and behind them were the Badaniyan archers carrying longbows and mithril armor-breaking hammers. As for Roland, he was surrounded by the royal guards and hung behind with other teams. This was not because Roland was afraid of death and liked to shrink behind, but because they were responsible for escorting a team of thousands of Shar horses. Because the space storage equipment could not collect living things, Roland could not take them back to the system space, so he could only hang behind and drive the horses to walk.
As for why Roland brought a group of seemingly useless war horses, of course it was to improve the mobility of the troops! If he encounters an enemy, Roland can send out a cavalry of more than a thousand men to form a local advantage and quickly deploy troops, which is equivalent to a simple quick response force when there is no space teleportation skill.
…
"Your Highness..." Adolf Heinrich threw the chess piece in his hand into the box with a dark face.
"One more game! One more game!" Roland said with interest.
Darian Nightblade turned his head to look at the two of them, then closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep against the carriage. Since he came out, King Roland has been pestering His Excellency Adolf Heinrich to play some kind of Laozi Gobang. At first, Adolf Heinrich was amazed by King Roland's imagination. How could Adolf Heinrich, a beginner, be Roland's opponent? But after being beaten by Roland for a long time, a sage is a sage! The powerful mental power can directly allow him to deduce countless chess moves! Then Roland never won again...
Now it's not a matter of winning or losing for Roland. Ever since he found out that he couldn't beat Adolf Heinrich, Roland started to think of crooked ideas. He used a series of classic tricks such as Unlimited Sleeves, Star Absorbing Technique, and Universe Shifting in front of Darien Nightblade's horrified eyes. In the end, Adolf Heinrich found that there were fewer and fewer pieces on the chessboard with a twitch in the corner of his eye, and then he pulled Roland's hand to see... Wow! There were not many white pieces belonging to him, but all of them were Adolf Heinrich's black pieces. Roland turned Gobang into Go.
"Farewell, Your Highness, let me sleep for a while..." Adolf Heinrich shook his head and rejected Roland's suggestion. He pulled a blanket over himself and huddled in the corner of the carriage.
"Don't look at me, Your Highness. This journey is destined to be uneasy. You should save more energy for those blind guys!" Darian Nightblade looked at Roland's eyes and immediately knew what Roland wanted to do. It was not that Darian Nightblade was afraid of Roland's tricks, but mainly because the two of them were really boring to play chess. After all, as an assassin, Darian Nightblade was also very skilled in the tricks. At the end of the game, except for the change of the color of the chess pieces in their hands, there were not many chess pieces on the chessboard at all...
"Okay, it's another day to miss my wife!" Roland didn't force it but pretended to be aggrieved and shrank back.
"..." Darian Nightblade didn't answer. After all, he knew what Roland had done. Not to mention missing his wife, he had run out of the Great Expedition himself. If he had been two steps later, the escort order from Queen Nyx would have arrived, otherwise Roland would not have set off anxiously. If he really had his wife in his heart, he would have gone back long ago.
"How about I send you back? I think with General Kaslo in charge and General Omsk in charge, we shouldn't have too many problems!" Adolf Heinrich rubbed his temples and said with a headache. After all, after Roland sneaked out, all the pressure was on them. Adolf Heinrich asked himself that he could not reach the state of calmness that Kaslo and others had when facing Roland who sneaked out. Now he was thinking about how to let Roland land safely.
"Oh my! Do you want to rebel?" Roland looked at Adolf Heinrich cautiously, as if he would jump off the car if he nodded.
"Expedition is so dangerous..." Adolf Heinrich complained with his forehead in his hand. Other people's kings are all living in the stomach of dogs. Let alone going on an expedition in person, they get scalps numb just by looking at the battlefield. But his own king is so good, he directly turned into a little Khan of the North, playing horse and slash every day.
"That's the future capital, of course I have to personally take charge!" Roland said without hesitation, nonsense! That's Lagran City! The future capital of the empire! Don't forget that the Kingdom of Lagran doesn't have a capital now! The current Jiliu City is at best Roland's palace!
"As you wish..." Adolf Heinrich closed his eyes, and finally felt Yun Feng's hardship and pain in his heart.
"Sir Yun Feng~ Come here! Exchange with me!" Adolf Heinrich had a headache, and unconsciously turned on the mental resonance. As a result, before Adolf Heinrich turned off the mental resonance, a message from afar came through his mental power.
"Take him far away... Thank you for your hard work!" Yun Feng's liberated thoughts came from the spreading mental power. It can be seen that after leaving Roland's clutches, Sir Yun Feng can finally live a comfortable life for a few days!
…
“Your Highness! Something is not right!” The chieftain of the Wild Goblin, Alistar, rode a pig and appeared outside Roland’s carriage, whispering to the carriage road.
“What happened?” Roland frowned.
“I don’t know, but it’s definitely not right! It’s too quiet! It’s dead quiet!” Alistar shook his head.
“Could it be that you are overthinking it?” Darion Nightblade looked at Alistar suspiciously.
“No! I swept the area of dozens of miles nearby with the knights. Although there was nothing unusual, I just felt something was wrong!” Alistar said firmly.
“Is there any evidence? You know, Omsk opened the way for us with the Knights!” Roland shook his head at Alistar, and the groundless doubts were accusing Omsk of his work results.
“Feeling!” Alistar said firmly.
