Chapter 48 Tripartite Response
As soon as Hicks moved, Arthur received the news immediately.
In fact, Arthur's initial plan for the orcs had been defeated.
Because of the strategies of night attacks and ambushing, the success rate against the elite orc guards was not high, Arthur and the others decided to start with the orc scouts. In addition to testing the strength of the guards, they just wanted to use this as bait to weaken Hicks' guard power first.
There were not without wise men among the orcs. After losing a team of reconnaissance cavalry, they no longer continued to disperse their troops, and made the choice Arthur was most reluctant to see.
Once the opponent is alert, the ambushing method commonly used by the cavalry regiment will have no unexpected effect.
"Although the other party moved overnight, he was not panicked. His travel speed was the same as usual, but the scouts retreated a little." Jose, who had been in charge of staring at the Hicks convoy, reported the orc movements.
"It seems that the other party is not really shocked, it is more like a strategic transfer." Grie analyzed from the side. As the daughter of the general, Grie actually has more advantages than Arthur in strategic command.
Just like in the team before, Joan and Huey never participated in decision-making. The decisions in action and direction were basically discussed by Grie and Arthur, and occasionally they would ask for opinions from others.
Now they seem to have returned to the previous team mode, but Arthur held his shoulders and frowned without expressing his opinion.
Gori continued: "The other party already knows that he is being targeted, so he must take action, otherwise once the other party has support, we will not have any chance."
Arthur still did not express his opinion.
Gri's face began to sink, "I know what you are thinking? But Ci is not in charge of the soldiers. Such a dangerous action will definitely lead to casualties! Even a few of us dare not say that we will escape unscathed."
"They are not just my soldiers, but my brothers, and I promised to take them home as much as possible." Arthur said in a low voice.
"I advise you not to be so naive. Our opponent this time is not the weak Fengfeng thief, but the strongest orc warrior, the Golden Lion Guard. It is simply a delusion to assassinate the prince of the Golden Lion family without paying any price!" Ge Li's words were a bit harsh, but it was an irrefutable fact. How could there be only one dead person in the war?
"Does this have to be done?" Arthur was still hesitating.
"Or you give up, if you continue, this is the best choice at the moment."
Arthur closed his eyes and whispered: "You should lead the team this time."
......
On the wasteland covered by night, there were several pairs of glowing eyes staring at the convoy slowly walking on the ancient road in the distance.
"Hicks is preparing to transfer. Arthur and the human cavalry will not give up, right?" Xia La asked in a low voice with doubt.
"It shouldn't be. Arthur has been taking risks since he was a child. In order to successfully attack me, I was careless and even beaten to the point of bleeding from my face."
Leon remembered what happened back then. His mother was still there at that time. Arthur was the opponent and sparring that his mother specially selected for him among the many human children. At first, Leon was disdainful of the thin and small human boy, but it seemed that since then, Arthur had never suffered any major losses in the battle with him.
"This human boy really doesn't know how to die. After looting several medium-sized tribes, he feels that he has the ability to deal with the heirs of the Golden Lion family. If they die, we won't do it ourselves." One-eyed cursed viciously behind him.
Leon turned around and glared at the one-eyed eyes, and immediately shut up tactfully.
"If, I mean, if, Arthur and the others can really succeed in this operation, will you help them leave?" Shara asked softly.
"Of course!" Leon replied very affirmatively, but there was a sneer on his face, "It's not only about keeping his promises, but more importantly, creating a human opponent for Elliot and the Golden Lion family, and our pressure will be much easier."
......
Red Rock City, Wind and Snow Legion Camp.
The table in front of Moral was filled with food, and the middle-aged lieutenant sitting opposite him was smiling.
Moral finally found the feeling of being respected again. The past two months have been unbearable to look back. You should know that the lieutenant in front of him has been with Deputy Commander of the Jino for many years, and even many division commanders do not give him face.
The only thing Moral couldn't understand is why the other party suddenly became so polite. The little money he gave out should not be so respectful, right? Is it because the relationship between Huey or Gori comes into play?
"I heard that you and Huey are friends?" The middle-aged lieutenant chatted casually.
Moral seemed to have found the reason, and immediately climbed up the pole, patted his chest and said, "Huey and I are just like my brother!"
"That's great. Do you know what friends Huey has? I mean the kind that is particularly good or even dead." The middle-aged lieutenant continued to ask without saying a word.
Moral laughed and said, "Stop kidding, that guy has friends?" His answer was almost the same as Keno.
The middle-aged lieutenant frowned and said directly: "Huey suddenly left the military camp the day before yesterday. He only left a letter saying to help his friends? Do you know where he might go and who to help? Deputy Commander of Keno is very worried about his safety."
Moral was also stunned, "Let's go? This guy has no friends with you?"
"Aren't you his brother?"
Moral knew that he had missed it, so he hurriedly went back to find a repair, "I mean he has no friend except me, my brother."
"We checked afterwards. Gori, the daughter of Grand Duke Rose, and another one named Qiong, were all students sent to the Wind and Snow Legion this time with Huey. Did you know them before?"
Moral's shock was beyond words. Why did these strange flowers come to the Wind and Snow Legion?
If he hadn't reacted before, Huey went to help anyone? Now he immediately understood what was going on. Only one person could bring these three people together at the same time!
Moral immediately pretended to be confused, "I know each other but I don't know each other well. How could I know where they went?"
The middle-aged lieutenant stared at Moral's eyes, "You really don't have any clues?"
Moral shook his big head, "I just arrived at the Snow Legion and I haven't even seen them before. How could I know where they are?"
The middle-aged lieutenant sighed, "Since it's useless to keep you like this. Come on, lock it up."
As soon as the Wei Guan finished speaking, four tall and strong soldiers rushed in from outside the camp, which obviously had already been arranged.
"What does it mean, why are you arresting people?" Moral was really confused this time.
The middle-aged lieutenant sneered, "Briefing the army commander, this alone will be enough to keep you for half a year."
Several soldiers came up and grabbed Moral's arm and dragged others outwards.
