Chapter 239
Chapter 239
"How is the situation in the royal city now?" Rand asked the scar-faced burly pirate nobleman.
Only then did the scar-faced burly nobleman look at Rand.
He looked up and down at Rand's overly young face, and then at the prince and the princess.
"I haven't heard of you." The scar-faced nobleman didn't care about the scepter in Rand's hand.
Rand frowned. This is not good for these fierce pirate nobles and many rules are ignored.
He won't have to fight again, he thinks the pirate nobles in front of him are good, and he plans to start a gentler move later.
The scar-faced nobleman grinned again and said, "But I think you are good."
Rand breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said angrily: "Then don't waste time and tell me what's going on in the royal city."
"It should be almost finished." said the Scarface nobleman, "During this period, there have been more orcs near the royal city. It is estimated that the orcs' army will gather again in the past few days and go to the White Country."
Orcs will obtain a large amount of supplies from the royal city of Takagi Kingdom, obtain weapons, equipment, siege equipment, livestock, and food.
It's only just a few days before we gather and set off.
Then it seems that the orcs should be really in a hurry.
Rand grinned like this scar-faced nobleman.
Until now, he has discovered the first true flaw of the orc.
The orcs have never rested since they landed, at least very few.
Rand captured several living orcs and conducted experiments.
After the purgatory became, his power increased greatly and he was extremely violent, but he did not completely lose his mind and would not always retain his energy.
After the purgatory, the orcs are indeed more energetic, but they are still tired.
It also needs rest.
And now it seems that the orc commander on this route is too anxious.
But now this flaw is not easy to use.
Rand turned over his horse and ordered: "The scouts scattered more distances to investigate, and the rest were camped and rested on the spot. We will face the orc troops in the next two days."
At night, in front of the campfire, Rand lay on the bench that was being moved, with Olena's soft and elastic thighs on the back of his head, thinking about his strategy to deal with the orcs.
Ellie sat aside quietly, holding her chin and looking at Rand's frown from time to time with interest.
The bonfire swayed, dispelling some of the coldness of autumn and winter.
At this time the blonde prince came over and his sister poked half of her head out from behind.
The prince said with some stutter, "Rand, Lord Rand."
Rand stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, please say."
This handsome prince who looks just adult and is still very young is not very adaptable to Rand's etiquette.
He knew that Rand was an earl and knew very well that he had a higher status on the surface, but he also knew that Rand was the only person who could save Takagi Kingdom now.
Earl Rand is a dark-haired man who looks about his age.
The young prince lowered his head, bowed, and bent down to a right angle: "Please, I want to ask you to be our teacher, and my sister and I want to learn from you."
Rand laughed and laughed out loud: "Ha~"
Rand likes the brother and sister very much.
They are not the same species as the second prince of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
The young and handsome prince and the young and beautiful princess were a little confused about Rand's laughter.
Rand smiled and said, "Of course, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness,"
"What do you want to learn?" Rand smiled.
Rand also has some experience in teaching. When he was invented, he personally started teaching at the upper level.
In fact, after he developed it later, he would also play guest roles in teachers at upper dens and small classes at the foot of the mountain from time to time.
His first batch of students had become the backbone of the Earl of Moon Phase.
The prince and the princess looked at each other in surprise, and then the prince said, "We want to learn swordsmanship."
In fact, they still wanted to learn the methods of marching and fighting and the skills of governing the country, but it was too late now, so they wanted to learn swordsmanship first and kill several orcs that were raging on their territory on the battlefield.
They want to become as brave as Rand and able to command the army to fight.
Even if you use weapons as shameless as Rand's personal guards, you have no scruples
Rand's eyes bent and said, "No problem, I have three swords here, the sword of the king, the sword of the noble lord, and the sword of the knight. I wonder which one do you want to learn?" (Note 1)
The prince and the princess were once again unknown.
Ellie and Olena were both covering their mouths and laughing.
Rand is normal most of the time, but sometimes he will say something inexplicable.
This seems to be Rand's hobby.
However, after Rand finished speaking, he often explained that the senior executives of the den were already used to it.
Now that I have been in contact with Rand for a long time, I can even roughly understand what Rand wants to express.
The prince and the princess had to bow their heads and said, "We all want to learn to read."
...
The next morning, Rand led the army to set off.
Then in the afternoon, Rand finally met the main force of the orc army.
When facing the orc army, Rand only brought cavalry, that is, his own personal guards, the Knights of the White Kingdom, and the noble cavalry gathered in the Takagi Kingdom.
The infantry and logistics forces, Rand let them retreat.
Because Rand didn't plan to fight the orcs head-on immediately.
The cavalry's advantage of mobility can be better demonstrated in the gentle terrain of Takagi Kingdom.
In front of Rand, there were orcs all over the mountains.
The orcs did not form military formations as Rand imagined, but they were surging on the flat ground like a tide.
Now Rand knows how many orcs have landed.
The number is much higher than expected. I hope the White King can solve the problems of the Northeast Front as soon as possible and come to support it, otherwise he may not be able to hold on for too long.
Among the orcs, there is a general who is obviously stronger or a huge orc, standing among the orcs, who stands out in the orc army.
This orc, who also had dark red patterns on his body and had a red look, looked at the human cavalry, with more than a thousand people within his eyes.
He knew he was finally going to meet some decent opponents.
He can be said to be a genius of orcs, the most likely existence among orcs to become the "king".
However, in order to break through the defense line in the northern border, to quickly destroy the Cuiying Principality, and to land from here.
This is his third time drinking "fire soup".
"Fire Soup" can only be consumed once, and can only be one spoonful at a time. The second time you drink or overdose will immediately turn into charred corpses, even the best orc.
He is the only orc who can drink "fire soup" multiple times.
Even as the orc genius who is most likely to become the "king", I feel that I can't hold on for long after drinking it for the third time.
But for the rise of orcs, so many orcs have sacrificed themselves, and he is not the only one.
He held the spear in his hand tightly, and charged his power to throw a spear at the human general.
Rand certainly noticed the shot, and he knew he couldn't escape.
But it doesn't matter.
Elsa, in the black burqa, appeared in front of Rand with two daggers in her hand.
The dark dagger blocked the orc general's spear.
Elsa was shocked by the huge force and retreated for a distance.
Then Elsa returned to Rand and whispered: "It's very strong, far superior to the normal high."
Rand's expression did not change.
Orcs are also considered a race with a large population, so it is normal for a king to appear, but this huge and burly orc with dark red patterns on his body should not be as good as a king.
But you still need to pay attention.
"Let's go." Land Long ordered.
Rand then murmured to himself: "Let's start running."
The Takagi Kingdom has a flat terrain overall, but there are still many forests with slightly complex terrain.
And because I had guessed the direction of the orcs long ago.
Rand also used his old skills and dug many traps.
They charged directly, although their cavalry of about 1,500 men were all elite knights, they could not defeat such a number of purgatory orcs.
And Rand noticed that these orcs are still very motivated.
So Rand plans to avoid his edge first.
On the battlefield, there has always been a one-stop effort, and then decline, and then exhaustion.
And these orcs must not have had a good rest.
Therefore, Rand's initial strategy is very simple. He launches the sixteen-character mantra, and the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stands and we disturb us, the enemy is tired, and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we chase.
Rand had many local nobles from the Takagi Kingdom as guides, and he must be more familiar with the terrain of the Takagi Kingdom than these orcs.
A slightly more advanced tactic can be used.
The orc general was a little stunned when he saw the human army retreat.
Did you get scared away like this?
I thought I would be an interesting opponent, but now it seems that he is going to be disappointed.
The orc general who felt indifferent ordered a charge.
These purgatory orcs cannot command them accurately. The violent purgatory power will torture the orcs and wipe out the orcs' sanity.
The orc general himself was not sure how long he could stay rational.
Time is a matter of time.
Then they tasted Rand's first gift.
Simple, it is not necessarily effective in dealing with wild animals, and it is a trap.
Rand had long guessed the orc's offensive route, so there were many things to do on the road that must be passed. The only pity was that there was not much time and there were not many traps dug out.
Even if a simple cave trap is placed on the bottom, it is very difficult to directly kill the orcs that have become purgatory.
But it can effectively slow down the orc's attack speed.
After Rand took the cavalry and the orcs to distance himself, he still had time to teach the prince and the princess.
Rand did not distribute the prince and princess the compulsory course in war, which cannot be learned in a short time.
Rand now only talks about some refined things, which are the "incomprehensible words" that are often criticized by senior officials of the den.
"The sword of a king is to have mountains and rivers in mind, and to the four seasons, to subdue the nobles and civilians with laws and virtues, to use mountains and rivers as the sword tips and the people as the hilts of the sword, so that everyone in the country is willing to obey the will of the king."
If the orders of the king were to be obeyed by the nobles of the country, then the king of Takagi Kingdom might not have fled in such a mess as he is now.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Rand said to the somewhat ignorant prince and princess, "You are actually doing a good job now."
Rand pointed to the many noble knights behind him: "They have many, and they gather here because of your courage."
Rand took the Knights to break apart and then rested for a while.
I waited for about two days until some orcs passed through the trap area.
Rand launched his first charge with his army.
