The central tent of the Frost Thunder Legion.
The atmosphere in the tent seemed extremely depressing, and many generals smelled a hint of murderous intent.
Grand Duke Palmer suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "This time, I convened all the generals to discuss matters in order to plan the next battle plan of my Frost Thunder Legion. Lion King Elliot led an army of 300,000 orcs to advance step by step. The Snow Wind Legion has retreated to Tongan City across the board, and my human legions are also gathering quickly towards Tongan City."
The generals in the tent held their breath and listened to the Grand Duke's introduction of the current battle situation.
"This time the two tribes are fighting, our Frost Thunder Legion must not stay out of it. I plan to send two armies of 40,000 people to clamp down on the orcs from the flank, and look for opportunities to cooperate with Red Rock City to launch an attack. I wonder which general is willing to lead the army to take orders?"
After the Grand Duke finished speaking, Edmund, Conrad and Dino almost stepped out at the same time, "I am willing to lead the army."
Grand Duke Palmer nodded with satisfaction. He naturally wanted to see his son and son-in-law fight for military merit on the battlefield, rather than fighting each other below.
But before the Grand Duke's smile climbed onto his cheeks, a blind man jumped out, "Report to the Legion Commander, although I have not been in the army for a long time, I also know that food and grass must go before troops move. The legion's transport convoy has been robbed twice in a row. I am afraid that the food stored in the army is not enough to support the expenses of 40,000 soldiers going on the expedition."
Grand Duke Palmer stared at Xi Duo without expressing his opinion.
Dino squinted at Xi Duo and did not speak.
The atmosphere in the military tent was a bit strange. Without getting a response, Xi Duo had to bite the bullet and continue: "I suggest that it is not too late to send troops after the food and grass reserves are sufficient. In addition, the continuous robbery of the transport convoy is also directly related to the poor protection of the military supply department. The relevant personnel should be held accountable for dereliction of duty to serve as a warning to others."
Xi Duo's fangs finally showed.
"General Xi Duo is right. If the military supply is still not up to par after the troops go out, it will affect the success or failure of the entire battle." Another general came out to take a stand, and this person was obviously on Edmond's side.
Since the death of the eldest son, some generals in the legion have secretly begun to choose sides between the second son and the third son, and the number of people standing on Edmond's side is obviously superior.
Grand Duke Palmer turned his gaze to Dino, "You are now in charge of military supplies and logistics. What do you think of this matter?"
Dino smiled slightly, "I have not been in charge of military supplies for a long time, but after I took over, the military supply convoy was robbed twice in a row. Don't the Grand Duke and the generals find it strange?"
"I hope General Dino will put the overall situation first and strictly rectify the military supply department instead of making excuses for himself?" Xi Duo said sarcastically.
"General Xi Duo is right. It is indeed necessary to strictly rectify the military supply department. I have found out that the military supply convoy was robbed this time because there was a traitor in the military supply department, who was instructed to collude with the orcs to rob the convoy."
Dino's words made the whole tent uproar. The military supply department actually colluded with the orcs.
"So you have already found out about the robbery of the transport convoy?" The Grand Duke asked with some surprise.
"That's right. The transport convoy was hijacked because Alva, the deputy director of the military supply department in Twilight City, colluded with the orcs and revealed the route of the transport convoy to the orcs."
"Asshole! There is such a scum in my Frost Thunder Legion!" The Grand Duke was so angry that he slammed the table heavily, "Where is this person now?"
"Reporting to the Grand Duke, this person has been arrested in Twilight City. But the initial interrogation of this person is just a pawn. There is a mastermind behind him. Alva and the shopkeeper of Xing yuan Commercial Bank in Twilight City are being escorted to the legion. When the Grand Duke interrogates him personally, we will understand." When Dino said this, he glanced in the direction of Milo and Edmond, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Okay, notify me as soon as the criminal is arrested. I want to see who is doing the betrayal behind the scenes!" The murderous aura on Grand Duke Palmer's body could no longer be concealed.
Edmond's tent.
As soon as Edmond took a step forward, Xi Duo immediately took two steps back. The last kick left a deep impression on him.
Edmond stared at Xi Duo with a fiery gaze, "I won't hit you again, I want to kill you now, you bastard!"
Xi Duo took another step back in fear, "Don't joke, I'm your cousin."
"If you weren't, you would be dead now! What did you promise me last time, you bastard? Didn't you say that your men were very secretive? Didn't you say that Dino couldn't find any clues?"
Xi Duo was extremely embarrassed, "This, this, I don't understand how Dino could catch Alva's handle? But don't worry, Alva won't say anything."
"If I trust you again, it's like handing my life to you, an idiot. Clean up your own ass, and never let them reach the military camp alive."
Xi Duo gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll arrange it now."
"You go and contact those orcs in person to do this, but don't show up. I don't trust anyone except you." Before Xi Duo walked out of the tent, Edmond solemnly instructed again.
On the official road leading to the Frost Thunder Legion, a battalion of cavalrymen escorted a covered carriage pulled by two horned horses and galloped all the way.
The one leading the troops and running in the front was Dylan, the chief of the military supply department. At this time, he was in a much more relaxed mood. As long as Alva and the shopkeeper of Xing yuan Trading Company were escorted to the legion camp, the punishment for the two robberies of military supplies would naturally be exempted.
A sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the woods beside the road and went straight to Dylan's head.
Dylan was already a sixth-level lieutenant, and he did not dare to relax all the way. Facing the sneak attack, he tilted his head and dodged.
But this arrow was just the prelude to the attack. A rain of arrows flew out of the woods and covered the entire cavalry camp.
"There is an ambush, don't fight, protect the carriage and rush out!" Dylan was very experienced. He knew that the enemy's ambush must be the prisoners on the carriage.
Cavalry soldiers kept falling off their horses, but the knights kept dodging arrows while rushing forward, never getting off their horses to fight with the other side.
When the demon ape warriors rushed out of the woods to the official road, the cavalry battalion had already run a long distance, out of the range of the bows and arrows.
Before Dylan and the cavalry of the guard battalion had time to breathe a sigh of relief, more than 200 leopard cavalry rushed out from the side. These leopard cavalry were as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye they caught up with the human cavalry who had already run a distance, and made a small circle to stop the human cavalry.
"Kill, brothers, follow me!" Life and death are at stake, Dylan's eyes are red, and he leads the cavalry battalion to charge forward.
The cavalry of the two tribes collided head-on and quickly fought together.
Although Dylan rushed forward desperately and his soldiers also fought hard, the strength of the guard battalion cavalry was obviously far behind that of the orc leopard cavalry.
This absolute strength gap was so great that it made people despair. Under the fierce attack of the leopard cavalry, the human cavalry fell off their horses like boiled dumplings.
The melee between the two sides did not last long, and most of the human cavalry were killed, and the demon ape warriors had surrounded them from behind.
Dylan, who was covered in blood, was desperate. If he didn't leave, let alone rushing out to protect the carriage, the entire cavalry battalion would be wiped out. He had to shout for the soldiers to flee.
The orcs did not pursue the human cavalry who fled in all directions, but surrounded the carriage that had lost its guards and was parked alone on the side of the road...
