The sky is getting brighter, but the snowstorm outside is not letting up at all. It seems that the snow will continue for a while.
Reshu Pavilion
After dawn, the members of the Hummingbird Brigade ate some cold dry food and drank cold snow water to replenish the necessary physical strength.[.]
Yu Qiang looked at the thick snow outside the cave and kept frowning. Although the blizzard helped them hide their traces, who could guarantee that the blizzard would not have any impact on this important mission?
"Don't think too much, our task is to move forward, just pay more attention." Chen Ming walked to Yu Qiang's side and said calmly.
His words also slowly calmed down Yu Qiang's slightly anxious mood. He nodded slightly towards Chen Ming, then walked back to the cave, clapped his hands and said, "Brothers, we have to brave the snow today, and today we will
You will step into the territory of the orcs, so you must not let down your guard!"
"Boss, I got it. I'll do the work, don't worry!" Xie Dong, a guy who likes to talk nonsense, promised with a smile.
"boom!"
Vice-captain Liu Ping walked up behind Xie Dong, raised his hand and gave him a chestnut.
"Be serious! If something goes wrong, I won't tear out your skin!" The fierce god strangled him as if he was another Dian Wei.
However, Xie Dong didn't care about the deputy captain's expression. They used to be in the same battalion, and Xie Dong was also known as a top soldier. Liu Ping naturally knew the deeds of this bad boy.
"You kid, don't be poor, hurry up and prepare." Zhang Yuan walked to Xie Dong with a smile and reminded him to clean up quickly.
Zhang Yuan and Xie Dong both served in the same company and were both elite assault sword and shield bearers. Xie Dong grinned and muttered, but the speed of his hands was not slow at all.
Soon, the traces of the bonfire were erased, and everyone packed up all the belongings.
Yu Qiang took a breath of the cold air, then nodded back, put on his thick hat, wrapped his sweater tightly and strode out of the cave.
Afterwards, the team members walked out of the cave one by one. Finally, Chen Ming lit a small red column and threw it deep into the cave.
With a muffled sound, the leaving team members looked back at the warm ice cave, which had been turned into ruins by the special fireworks explosion.
Fireworks of this nature have very little power, but they generate enough pressure to cause the ice cave to collapse instantly.
At this point, the traces of the hummingbird brigade have completely disappeared in the wind and snow.
Braving the strong wind, the group of them moved slowly towards the north. There was only white left in the sky and the earth. Even their sweaters were snow-white. If they didn't bump into each other directly in the wind and snow, they would be within a short distance.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to detect it.
The team members walked one after another in silence, braving the strong wind, leaving them with no extra energy to speak, and ensuring that their physical strength was maximized to move forward.
The one walking at the front was deputy captain Liu Ping. He had a rope tied around his waist and tied everyone behind him one by one. This could prevent them from getting separated or having any accidents in the vast snowfield.
As they were advancing, the remaining four special forces teams of Dragon City were also advancing in the blizzard.
If you look down from the sky, it is not difficult to find that they are all heading towards a specific place, which is the gathering place of the orc tribe, the city of Endu!
However, the progress speed of these five teams is obviously not the same.
The fastest one is none other than the special forces brigade affiliated with the army, Hummingbird!
Looking back to the Hummingbird Brigade, during the arduous process of advancement, captain Yu Qiang had to constantly correct their direction. The method he adopted was a simple compass!
This invention was naturally the work of Zhou Yunfei.
Considering that the role of the compass is really great, it is very critical in everything from military affairs to caravan travel.
Of course, in fact, as early as the Warring States Period, compasses like Sinan already existed, but they were only suitable for large troops. Zhou Yunfei hoped that the compass could be miniaturized and equipped for use by professionals, which would play an unexpected role.
So, after a series of studies, this small compass called the Eye of the Sky appeared.
Yu Qiang used this little thing codenamed "Sky Eye". It was only as big as a pocket watch, but it could clearly show the direction of north and south.
This is the most critical thing for hummingbirds moving forward in the wind and snow. With it, they have a direction and don't have to worry about getting lost in the vast snowfield.
This also greatly saves the time spent on the task. Otherwise, trying to find a suitable marking point in this ice and snow is simply a dream.
After revising the direction, the Hummingbird Brigade continued to move forward.
At noon, they just held the dried meat in one hand and the snow in the other, using the warmth of their mouths to melt the snow.
Fortunately, they did not find any traces of orcs during the day, nor any traces of the orc tribe.
Just when the sky turned dark, Liu Ping, who was walking at the head of the team, suddenly stopped and immediately made a gesture with his right hand. The team members behind him immediately squatted down to hide, and Yu Qiang, who was crawling on the snow, came to
In front of the team.
"What's going on?" Yu Qiang asked in a low voice, and Liu Ping also lay down while making gestures.
Liu Ping said nothing and pointed forward with his finger.
Yu Qiang's eyes followed Liu Ping's hand and looked forward. He saw a faint light of fire about meters in front of him.
In the wind and snow where the visibility is less than a few meters, there are only a few fire points a hundred meters away. If you are not careful, you may not be able to see it at all.
Yu Qiang's eyes instantly shrank, he turned his head and made a gesture to the team members behind him. The gesture meant to find the enemy.
The team members immediately became alert and drew out a section of the saber from their waists.
In the extreme north where the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero, swords can easily stick to their scabbards, so the special team members smeared a layer of lard on their sabers before departure to prevent the low temperature from freezing the joint of the scabbard.
.
Yu Qiang looked at the faint firelight in the distance and felt heartbroken.
Not long after, Yu Qiang made a decision, "Xie Dong!" He whispered to the back.
Xie Dong was looking around cautiously when he suddenly heard the captain in front calling him. He immediately made a gesture, switched positions with Zhang Yuan beside him, and handed over his original guard area to Zhang Yuan. Then he quickly crawled on his knees.
Moving forward, we came to the head of the team.
"Xie Dong, have you seen the fire in front?" Yu Qiang pointed in front and said in Xie Dong's ear.
Xie Dong nodded, and then Yu Qiang continued: "I want you to find out the specific situation inside. Pay attention, be careful not to be discovered! Come back and tell me when you know it!"
Xie Dong nodded solemnly, "Understood!"
Yu Qiang patted Xie Dong's shoulder hard and nodded heavily.
Xie Dong took a breath, then took off all the extra items on his body, taking only his personal weapons, a saber and a repeating crossbow.
After unloading the items, he immediately crawled forward, using the cover of the wind and snow to get closer to the firelight in front of him little by little.
The hummingbirds at the back carefully watched the surroundings and quickly took cover. They buried half of their bodies in the snow, leaving only two outside to observe. In this way, even if someone walked in front of them, they would be safe.
You may not be able to find it.
Yu Qiang, who was in front of the team, looked nervously at Xie Dong, who was in front of him. Only ten meters after he left, he disappeared from sight. So Yu Qiang could only choose to wait.
Xie Dong crawled forward carefully on the cold snow. Although the soft snow can provide enough buoyancy to prevent people from falling in, it also increases the difficulty of moving forward, especially if it cannot cause too much movement.
, so Xie Dong’s speed is very slow.
Normally, this crawling distance of just one hundred meters does not require much effort, even in the most difficult swamp. But in the current situation, Xie Dong actually broke out in a sweat within a short distance!
Xie Dong participated in the last battle of the April War, but the protagonists of that battle were the spearmen of the Second Army. They almost dominated the trend of the entire battlefield, while Xie Dong's infantry formation was at the end of the day.
After a brief beating, it cannot be said that Xie Dong is a new recruit. Even those spearmen who have wandered around life and death will inevitably feel a little uneasy when facing the unknown orc race.
He moved forward slowly towards the fire, trying not to reveal any traces. Xie Dong was finally approaching.
Those unfamiliar languages could already be heard in his ears, which must be the language of the orcs. This thought flashed through Xie Dong's mind, and he concealed it more carefully.
In the light of the fire was the camp of an orc tribe. There were about a hundred of them, most of whom were old, young, women, and children.
In an invasion battle last year, not only Byvost suffered heavy losses, but also the orc clan was heartbroken. Less than 100,000 Wan Qingzhuang came back. Even the hero of the tribe, Grom Domainhowl, died.
In the south, the entire orc tribe was devastated.
But the rules of survival are so cruel. They have no time and no time to mourn the dead orcs, because they have to face a more difficult survival!
At this moment, the camp here is filled with scattered orcs from all around. Most of them are the young family members of the orcs who died last year. Since they cannot survive this winter alone, they can only gather together to share the burden.
Xie Dong slowly approached the camp. The camp was simpler than expected. There were no walls or houses, only a roughly erected igloo and a group of orcs huddled together to keep each other warm.
Xie Dong saw orcs for the first time, these green-skinned, ugly-looking aliens. In Dragon City, many residents of the original north of Byvost had personally experienced the harassment of orcs, and the orcs they described from their mouths
, are all evil, terrifying, and inhumane.
Many Han family members in Longcheng like Xie Dong formed the concept of orcs in their minds just based on these descriptions.
Orcs are savage, they only plunder. Orcs are evil, they never want to return to the warm and lush south. Orcs are savage, they even don't spare children and eat them like food!
Many young men of the Han family, when faced with the cries of the people in the north, gritted their teeth and wanted to eradicate the orcs from the bottom of their hearts.
But at this moment, Xie Dong was a little confused.
