Chapter 042 Unknown Forest Exploration Mission!
Lan Yuan calendar May 2013!
The negotiations on the issue of concessions between the two sides on the border line, the Emperor and the Allied Representatives, which were sitting at the table, officially failed!
On the plain outside the Merrison Fortress in the middle of the Lanyuan East Continent, 200,000 emperors from the Ryans Empire have been assembled.
After receiving the news from the empire, in addition to the Fifth, Sixth Legion and three other reserve legions, a total of 150,000 emperors headed by the First Legion, began to march towards the Morrik Fortress occupied by the Ston Empire, which was occupied by the Orc Empire.
The one who served as Marshal of the Emperor was Prince Norris, who was known as the "undefeated God of War" in Ryans!
Faced with such a huge military force of Ryans, the Ston Empire and the Light Empire, which had not stopped fighting with the orcs, felt pressure. However, Fortress Morrick was of great strategic significance. Taking over it would be equivalent to having a portal to the orc Empire, and letting the fat meat from the two empires be honestly spit out, which was something that no one would want to do!
Fortress Morrick is a huge stone fortress built by orcs for five years. The orcs' architectural style has always been strong and broad. Fortress Morrick adheres to this style. The cornerstones are all taken from the mountain wall itself. The entire fortress is directly embedded between the mountain walls, which was originally the most favorable barrier to isolate the invasion of the north and south of the central region.
After learning that the troops were stationed on the border of the Ryans Empire, the Ston Empire and the Light Empire launched a war. In addition to pursuing the original troops of the retreating Orc Empire, the Ston Empire raised another 50,000 troops and 30,000 troops to form an allied army. The Duke of Leroy of the Ston Empire was the marshal and the Duke of Festenberg of the Light Empire was the governor. He decided to defend Morrick to the death!
So, under such circumstances, Prince Ryans Norris's first war after his comeback became a difficult siege!
Prince Norris did not want to bear too much casualties. Since the beginning of the war, he tried every means to lure the Allies out of the city to fight, but because his opponent was too experienced, he had not been able to do what he wanted.
The commander of the Allied Army, Duke Leroy, is a commander with a calm and cautious combat style. He has always been famous for his defensive warfare. Because of the huge gap in military strength between the two sides, no matter how Prince Norris provoked and used tricks, he ignored it and kept strengthening the city walls in the city, training soldiers, and eliminating spies. Judging from the appearance of the old duke, he was preparing to spend time with Prince Norris like this!
The days on the front line were still boring. One side kept asking for battle, the other side closed the door to avoid the battle, and fought several small siege wars. Both sides were injured, but they were not injured. Because they had to participate in magic bombing from time to time, Yan Bing didn't even have time to go to the Dark Continent.
He began to doubt whether his decision was wrong before. He applied to join the front line legion, and what he wanted to appreciate most was the kind of pride of charging into battle, rather than the way of fighting under layers of protection, listening to the dull commands and casting magic.
Just as Yan Bing was worried about this day of life like the New Year, an opportunity to escape from the sea of suffering suddenly came one morning, and Lieutenant Colonel Korda, the leader of the mage group, sent someone to summon Yan Bing.
Yan Bing happily came to the lieutenant colonel's tent and found that Nicole, who was traveling with him, was also in the tent. Lieutenant Cold Corda first asked if he was comfortable and could he get used to it. Until he saw that both of them looked a little impatient, he said, "Actually, I'm asking you two to come this time, because I have a task to hand it over to you."
Yan Bing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Nicole next to him had the same expression. It seemed that everyone was the same and was very disappointed with the military life during this period.
"Do you know Brigadier General Red who knows the 10th Legion?" asked Lieutenant Colonel Corda.
The two were confused and shook their heads.
"It's true. Brigadier General Red of the 10th Legion is responsible for the survey of the Imperial Team's march route this time. It is said that he recently discovered a possible passage to the rear of the fortress in a forest thirty miles to the right of the Fortress. I believe that both of them have some understanding of the current combat situation of the Empire. This is a very important discovery for this stalemate."
"But..." Lieutenant Colonel turned around.
"The investigation of Brigadier General Red has encountered some minor trouble. His mage group has been incorporated into the First Legion of His Royal Highness because of the siege of the city. So he wants to draw several mages from us to assist. I listened to his words, and it seems that he is very arrogant about the two who protected strategic materials last time. So this time I called you here, mainly to ask if they are willing to take on this task."
"I have no problem!" Yan Bing answered without thinking.
It is better to go anywhere than to play the role of "human-shaped magic crystal" here, not to mention that this task is of great importance. Once you succeed, it will be a great contribution.
"I can do it too!" Nicole thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Since Yan Bing used aggressive methods to help her rebuild her confidence last time, her face was still cold when she looked at Yan Bing, but her heart began to feel a little dependent on Yan Bing. She didn't even notice this change for the time being.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll write a letter of introduction, and the two lieutenants will take it to find Brigadier General Red!"
Holding the letter of introduction issued by Lieutenant Colonel Corda, Yan Bing and Nicole found Brigadier General Red, the 10th Legion.
Brigadier Red is a person who always has a bit of seriousness in his face. He speaks concisely and powerfully. After knowing that Yan Bing and the others were invited, a rare smile appeared on his serious face. "I am so grateful for your two people who come to assist me in my work!"
He did not make too much courtesy and went straight to the point, "The forest we found was very large, and there were traces of a camp on the periphery of the forest. The scout found some orc skeletons about ten kilometers deep. It was initially determined that a small number of monsters were living in it, but the specific types and levels of monsters were not yet clear."
"For safety reasons, the scout's investigation is now stopped at the place where the bones are found. I need an efficient exploration team to check whether the back of Morrick is behind the forest. This is also the purpose of inviting the two of you here!"
"Master General, we are happy to serve you! I just don't know when the exploration mission you mentioned will start!" Yan Bing, who was very interested, asked when he heard the content of the mission.
"The military consumption of the Imperial ** team is amazing every day. If you know the result one day earlier, you can reduce the consumption one day earlier. So I hope you can set off in the afternoon. I don't know if there is any problem!" Brigadier General Red said seriously.
"Please make arrangements, we can set off at any time!" Yan Bing looked at Nicole, and saw that she had no objection, he answered directly.
In the afternoon, Brigadier General Red called Yan Bing and the others to the tent. At this time, seven fully armed soldiers and a man wearing a mage robe like Yan Bing and the others. Yan Bing knew that this should be the other members of the Investigation Team!
The strongest one in it is Frank, a lower-ranking golden swordsman. His rank is colonel and the captain of this exploration team.
Among the eight people, Yan Bing only remembered him for the time being. The other seven people included two scouts, two archers, two warriors, and one of the Mages of Light who was also invited from other legions.
Both scouts were as powerful as bronze swordsmen. One archer was a silver swordsman, the other was a bronze swordsman, and the two warriors were also one silver and one bronze. When the mage introduced himself, he said he was an intermediate monk at level 22. It seemed that for this mission, Brigadier Red had invested a lot of money.
After some renovation, Yan Bing and his group of ten people took the simple map drawn by the scout team in front and quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest along the woods passage that they stepped out!
