Chapter 648
"Look! That's the human village."
Galdi pointed into the distance and said happily.
He was pointing at a village with perhaps dozens of households. It was evening, and every household was smoking.
"It's really different from the grassland!" Wu En next to him answered. "Look at those plumes of smoke, humans are making fires to cook."
Galdi opened his mouth, "If I remember correctly, this should be your first time in human territory, right?"
Unn nodded, "Yes. Centurion, have you been here before?"
"Yes." Galdi said, "I am somewhat familiar with this place. Ten years ago, when I was a slave under Lord Nathaniel's tent, I followed him here, and I also came here through the territory of the stonemason clan. "
His eyes were full of memories and hatred, "The damn dwarves, the greedy dwarves, only allowed us to come through those winding caves, and they only let us go back after taking one-third of our loot."
Unn said: "Now their entire clan has to rely on us. If you ask me, Lord Eugene is still too kind. He should treat all the people of the Mason clan as slaves, rather than as allies or subordinates."
Galdi shrugged, "Oh, you know, if they get into those tunnels and harass us, they will cause a lot of trouble to us in the mountains. The dwarves have dug holes in Loki for thousands of years. God knows how many. If It would be nice to have some tool that can collapse their tunnel, even if it collapses the exit section, it will suffocate them. "
Galdi swung his riding crop and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's your first time here. How do you feel about the human territory?"
Unn replied: "It's very quiet and peaceful. The forests, fields, and hills are very rich. It's not like the grassland, which is empty and monotonous."
Galdi laughed loudly, "If you like, you can bring your family here to live - wait until we conquer this place. As a warrior of the royal tent, you have this right."
Wu En's face turned gloomy, "My family...had returned to the Prairie Spirit during the last White Disaster."
"I didn't mean to make you sad." Galdi was very sorry.
"I'm fine, Lord Centurion." A determined expression appeared on Unn's face, "I am fighting for all the orcs now."
Galdi patted him on the shoulder: "When our people migrate here, life will get better."
Unn asked eagerly: "Lord Centurion, when will we launch a large-scale attack on human territory?"
"Don't worry, our mission now is to harass this place and divert human attention away from the Watcher Fortress. By then, the offensive resistance from the War Chief's side will become smaller. Of course, with more Watcher Fortresses, we This side will also attack, clamping down on the northeastern part of Aldo like a pair of pliers."
Unn didn't know what pliers were. There were too few iron tools on the grassland, but he understood what Galdi meant.
He looked forward to that day with all his heart.
"alright!"
Galdi looked at the sun that was about to set, and its afterglow dyed the western sky fiery red.
"It's hunting time. Unn, sound our horn!"
Woo-woo-!
The long sound of the horn spread through the forest.
Accompanied by the sound of the horn, bursts of rapid hoofbeats sounded. A large number of figures left the trees that blocked them and galloped across the human land.
The orc cavalry launched an attack on the human village.
——
"There have been nine robberies this month!"
Knight Arthur looked at the people in the room with a stern expression. They were all senior generals of the Watcher Legion.
"Nine villages and towns have suffered heavy losses under the orcs' butcher's knives. Food, money, and population. The land we protect is bleeding!"
With a snap, he slapped his palm hard on the table in front of him.
"My lords, please allow me to lead an army to wipe out the orc bandits that are ravaging the northern mountains!"
Arthur's disrespectful behavior made many generals look very ugly.
"Ahem!" His knightly mentor, Sir Hal Duke, coughed heavily.
Sir Duke is also the deputy commander of the Watcher Legion and is highly respected within the Legion.
"Arthur, please go out first."
Knight Arthur bowed deeply and strode out of the room.
It's just that the sound of the room door closing is a bit loud.
"Hmph, your former guard has a really bad temper."
Sir Colin said very dissatisfied.
Sir Duke said: "Arthur was so angry because of his insistence on the duties of a knight and a soldier."
"However, the activities of the orcs this year are different from usual. Everyone!"
He looked around at everyone, "It has always been only in winter that small groups of orc thugs cross the Rocky Mountains and penetrate into our north to plunder, but it is not winter now. It is too abnormal. And according to witnesses That said, there are far more of them than before.”
"Could it be..." someone speculated, "that the orcs have found a way to cross the Rocky Mountains on a large scale?"
"That would be too bad!"
"Impossible, the dwarves on the mountain will not let too many orcs pass. You know, they are notoriously stubborn and stubborn."
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
"Sir Duke!"
An old voice sounded. He was Duke Morton, the commander of the Watcher Corps.
Everyone turned their eyes to him.
"The orcs' activities behind us make me feel a little uneasy."
"We can't just leave it alone. What do you think about withdrawing some troops from the fortress to guard the Rocky Mountains?"
"This..." Sir Duke hesitated.
When the royal family suppressed the rebellion in the south, they had withdrawn many knights to support the south, and they have not "returned" yet.
After thinking about it, he still said: "My Lord Duke, according to intelligence, the energy of the grassland king's tent is focused on Gabela."
"I think... the pressure on the Watcher Fortress should not be as great as before. Maybe we can withdraw some troops to clean up our rear."
The old duke nodded, "Then do it. We can't ignore the civilians who were looted."
"Yes, my Lord Duke."
After the meeting, Sir Duke still stayed here.
"Hal, do you have anything to tell me?"
"Yes, my lord."
Sir Duke looked sternly at his superior.
"My lord, the orcs are getting stronger and stronger now. I think we should stop those bastards."
"You mean..."
"Control those bastards who smuggle arms to the grassland. Otherwise, the power of the orcs will sooner or later reach a point that we can't control."
The room immediately fell into silence.
"Alas..."
The old duke sighed, full of sadness.
"Your words remind me of Schroeder,"
