The whole town suffered quite a bit of damage that night, but hundreds of people didn't hurt the
vitality of the town.
The orcs are a race that can withstand beatings, neither the wanton slaughter of humans
hundreds of years ago, nor the barrenness and hardships of the savage land can defeat them.
Therefore, under the quiet estimation, the cats and bears quickly packed up their emotions.
The two clansmen who witnessed Ryan's descent into the world also believed in him more
devoutly.
The funeral and the reconstruction of the destroyed house were carried out in an orderly manner
under the arrangement of the civet patriarch, and also began to plan with Lilian to take
over the White Feather Tribe.
If you want to take over the White Feather Tribe, the primary goal is to get the expeditionary
force of the Bernard Empire in the Montenegro Mountains.
Because he was worried that there were still seventh-order monster-level opponents in the
expedition army team, Ryan deliberately figured out their territory and asked the configuration
of the expedition army from a single unlucky ghost.
The Bernard Empire is a medium-strength empire among the human empires. It is precisely
because of the gap in strength that the territory of the Bernard Empire is close to the border of
the human territory, so it is very close to the wild land.
In order to seek better development, the Bernard Empire was unable to compete with several
other great empires, so it could only invade the barren land, and wanted to develop its own
strength by invading orcs.
This expedition army is only the first step in the expansion plan of the Bernard Empire, so the
configuration and scale are not as terrifying as the human army imagined by Ryan.
The entire expeditionary force has a total of 8,000 people. Excluding those who died during the
invasion of the orc tribe, those who died in the mouth of monsters, and those who died in other
accidents during the march, there were still about 7,000 people in the entire expedition force.
Compared with the more than 2,000 people of the cat people and the Thunderclaw tribe, the
number of human expeditionary forces is three times more and more prosperous.
Moreover, the lowest among these humans are first-order knights, not to mention the elite
squads of Griffin Knights, as well as many third- and fourth-order magicians.
If this battle is fought hard, it will be a difficult battle to win.
And just when Alice was worried about how to fight this battle, Bernard's Expeditionary
Force also became a mess.
Without Knight Dewar and the Great Magician Bell sitting in command, Colonel Rudolph alone
cannot play an important role at all.
Knight Dewar and Mage Bell mysteriously disappeared, and the expedition force gradually began
to feel uneasy.
Without these two commanders in the army, Colonel Rudolph completely released himself, and
he indulged himself in the army every day. Every day, he only sent people out to look for Dewar
and Bell. The internal affairs of the army messed up by him.
With him taking the lead, many knights and magicians also became lazy, and the original daily
practice routine was unconsciously replaced by sleeping in.
Seeing the expeditionary forces of the Bernard Empire behave like this, Qingyou, who will come
to investigate the enemy's situation in person every day, understands that the time has come!
From the second day, the team that went out to find the Dewar Knight and the Great Magician
Bell suddenly disappeared.
The expeditionary army only thought they were delayed by an unexpected situation, so they
didn't pay much attention, and sent a new team the next day.
But for three days in a row, the three teams sent out have not returned.
Rumors began to spread in the army, saying that the ghosts of the missing Knights of Dewar and
the Great Wizard Bell had come back for revenge...The expedition forces were far away from their homes and were alone in the Black Mountains
where there were monsters and beasts. They were sensitive and vulnerable.
It is precisely because the Knights of Dewar and the Great Magician Bell usually take charge of
all internal affairs, which can stabilize the military's morale.
But now the two of them are not only not in the army, but also caused rumors because of their
disappearance, and the entire expedition force gradually began to become a mess.
"Colonel. There are more and more rumors in the army. My subordinates suggest that they
should submit news to the imperial city as soon as possible, and let them send other great
knights and mages to sit in town."
There were still some clear-thinking generals in the army. Seeing that the situation was gradually
getting out of control, they hurried to Rudolph. The school advised.
"Fart! The two bastards Dewar and Bell just went out for a short time, and there will be no
accident at all. They are both masters of the seventh order, do you think I am a fool! And how do
I pass it on to the imperial city? The news? Did you say that I lost two seventh-order masters due
to improper command? If such news is passed back, I think you are trying to harm me!"
Rudolph less. The school was furious, and even pulled out the little general who persuaded him
and beat him with a military stick.
After this act was done, the whole army was even more complaining, but everyone dared to be
angry and did not dare to speak, and the atmosphere in the army became more and more tense.
Just when the Human Expeditionary Force was in panic, Qingyou was not idle, she sent the bear
elder to lobby the Thunderfang Tribe and Thunderfoot Tribe.
Although neither of these two tribes has warriors above the sixth rank, most of the strengths are
not much different from those of the Thunderclaw Tribe. After hearing that the patriarch of the
Thunderclaw Tribe had died in battle, the two tribes had a little thought of annexation. .
But with the "miracles" shown by Alice, these two tribes also realized that the surrender of
the Thunderclaw tribe was not without reason.
The orcs advocate strength, and after realizing that they cannot be the opponents of the cat
people, the patriarchs of the two tribes also chose to join.
Ryan's followers suddenly expanded to more than 4,000 people, and more than half of them
were bearmen!
The joining of these two tribes directly doubled the strength of the forces.
Considering that the two tribes that had just joined were not necessarily convinced, Alice did
not impatiently take over the rights of the two tribes, but handed it over to the bear elder.
The bearmen are of the same clan, and the Thunderclaw Tribe was the strongest of the three
tribes before. It is definitely much better for them to digest and deal with them internally than the
cat people directly take over.
This move was even praised by Ryan, and his genius-like processing ability was fully
demonstrated here.
Although the manpower was almost ready after the two bearmen tribes joined, Alice was not
in a hurry to attack.
She knew in her heart that this battle was not only a battle to retrieve glory from the hands of
humans, but also a battle to stabilize people's hearts and completely convince the two newly
joined bearmen tribes.
If possible, Alice even wanted to win this battle with zero deaths, just like last time.
Even though everything is almost ready, Alice is still waiting patiently, she is waiting for an
excellent opportunity to attack.
Finally, on a dark and moonless night, Alice looked at the sky and finally smiled with
satisfaction.
Behind her, two thousand bearmen warriors and one thousand catmen warriors are ready to go...
