As soon as Hicks moved, Arthur immediately received the message.
In fact, Arthur's original plan against the orcs had failed.
Because strategies such as night attacks and ambushes have low success rates against elite orc escorts, Arthur and the others had previously decided to start with the orc scouts. In addition to testing the strength of the escort team, I also wanted to use this as bait to weaken Hicks's escort strength first.
There are not without wise men among the orcs. After losing a group of scout cavalry, they stopped spreading their forces and made the choice that Arthur least wanted to see.
Once the opponent is on alert, the sneak attack and ambush methods commonly used by the cavalry regiment will no longer have the unexpected effect.
"Although the other party moved overnight, they were not in a panic. They were moving at the same speed as usual, except that the scouts shrank back a little." Jose, who had been responsible for keeping an eye on Hicks' motorcade, reported the movements of the orcs.
"It seems that the other party is not really shocked, it's more like a strategic shift." Ge Li analyzed from the sidelines. As the daughter of a general, Gold actually has an advantage over Arthur in terms of strategic command.
Just like in the team before, Joan and Huey never participated in decision-making. Decisions on actions and directions were basically discussed between Gold and Arthur, and occasionally other people's opinions were sought.
Now they seemed to have returned to their previous teaming mode, but Arthur crossed his shoulders and frowned without making any comment.
Ge Li continued: "The other party already knows that they are being targeted, so they must take action. Otherwise, once the other party has support, we will have no chance."
Arthur still did not express his position.
Ge Li's face began to darken, "I know what you are thinking? But Ci does not have soldiers, such a dangerous action will definitely cause casualties! Even a few of us dare not say that we escaped unscathed."
"They are not only my soldiers, but also my brothers. I promise 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 Storm Bandit, but the strongest orc warrior Golden Lion Guard. It is simply wishful thinking to assassinate the prince of the Golden Lion family without paying any price!" Ge Li's The words are a bit harsh, but they illustrate an irrefutable fact. How can it be possible for only one side to die in a war?
"Do I have to do this?" Arthur was still hesitant.
"Either you give up, or you continue, which seems to be the best option at the moment."
Arthur closed his eyes and said softly: "This time you should lead the team."
In the wilderness shrouded in night, there are still a few pairs of glowing eyes staring at the caravan moving slowly on the ancient road in the distance.
"Hicks is preparing to move. Arthur and the human cavalry won't give up, right?" Share asked in a low voice full of suspicion.
"Probably not, that boy Arthur has been adventurous since he was a child. Back then, in order to successfully sneak attack me and make me careless, he even didn't hesitate to be beaten until his face bled."
Leon recalled what happened back then. At that time, his mother was still there, and Arthur was the opponent and sparring partner specially selected by her mother among the many human children. At first, Leon was dismissive of the skinny little human boy, but it seemed that since then, Arthur had never suffered any big losses in the battle with him.
"This human kid really doesn't know how to die. After looting several medium-sized tribes, he feels that he is capable of dealing with the heirs of the Golden Lion Family. If they die, it will save us the trouble of doing it ourselves." One-Eye cursed viciously from behind.
Leon turned around and glared at One Eye, who immediately shut up knowingly.
"If, I mean if, Arthur and the others can really succeed in this operation, will you help them leave?" Share asked softly.
"Of course!" Leon answered very definitely, with just a sneer on his face, "This is not only about keeping the promise, but more importantly, creating a human opponent for Elliot and the Golden Lion Family. Our pressure will be much easier. "
Tongan City, the base camp of the Snow Wind Legion.
The table in front of Moral was filled with food, and the middle-aged lieutenant sitting opposite him had a smile on his face.
Moral finally found the feeling of being respected again, and the past two months have been unbearable to look back on. You must know that the lieutenant in front of you has been with Deputy Commander Jinuo for many years, and he doesn't even give him the face of many division commanders.
The only thing Moral couldn't figure out was why the other party suddenly became so polite. The little money he gave away shouldn't be able to earn such respect, right? Was it because Huey or Golly's relationship came into play?
"I heard that you and Huey are friends?" the middle-aged lieutenant seemed to be chatting casually.
Moral seemed to have found the reason. He immediately climbed up the pole, patted his chest and said, "The relationship between Huey and me is like that of brothers!"
"That's great. Do you know if Huey has any other friends? I mean the kind that are particularly good or even life-threatening." The middle-aged lieutenant continued to ask quietly.
Moral laughed and said: "Stop joking, that guy still has friends?" His answer was almost the same as Gino.
The middle-aged lieutenant frowned and said directly: "Huey suddenly left the military camp the day before yesterday. He only left a letter saying that he was going to help a friend? Do you know where he might go and who he might help? Deputy King The regiment commander was very worried about his safety."
Moral was also stunned, "Leaving? This guy has no friends at all?"
"Aren't you his brother?"
Moral knew that he had made an omission and hurriedly went back to make up for it, "I mean he doesn't have a single friend except my brother."
"We checked afterward and found that Huey was also accompanied by Gold, the daughter of Grand Duke Ross, and another one named Qing. They were all students sent by your Isaiah Academy to the Snow Wind Legion this time. They were the ones you had before, do you know them all?"
Moral was shocked beyond words. Why did these strange flowers come to the Snow Legion?
If he hadn't reacted before, who did Huey go to help? Now he instantly understood what was going on. There was only one person who could bring these three people together at the same time!
Moral immediately pretended to be confused, "I know them, but I'm not too familiar with them. How can I possibly know where they have gone?"
The middle-aged lieutenant stared into Moral's eyes, "You really don't have any clues?"
Moral shook his big head, "I just arrived at the Snow Wind Legion and I haven't even seen them. How can I know where they are going?"
The middle-aged lieutenant sighed, "Since there is no use keeping you like this, come on, please lock me up immediately."
As soon as the lieutenant finished speaking, four tall and strong soldiers rushed in from outside the camp. It was obvious that they had made arrangements in advance.
"What do you mean, why do you arrest people?" Moral was really confused this time.
The middle-aged lieutenant sneered, "Bribing the army commander, this alone is enough to imprison you for half a year."
Several soldiers came up and grabbed Moral's arms and dragged him out.
As he was about to be dragged out of the camp, Moral shouted in a crying voice: "Boss Arthur, don't blame me, I have no choice but to do this!"
