Chapter 616 [Single-handedly going to the meeting]
Chapter 616 [Going to the meeting alone]
When Du Wei and Rohart left the city together, he did not bring any entourage with him. He did not tell the generals in the city about this matter. He only quietly told Gargamel and asked him to bring the flying dragon battleship and agreed on a time.
The south side of the fortress is ready to respond at any time.
As for Du Wei himself, he did not bring any guards, so he left Yajin City with Rohart alone, preparing to go to the north to attend the meeting alone.
"Sir..." Rohart followed Du Wei, and Nian's family looked worried: "I still think it's too risky for you to do this! After all, you are the commander-in-chief of the army. There are hundreds of thousands of troops here, and the city is full of soldiers and civilians.
, as well as the entire Eastern Front, all important tasks are held by you alone!"
Du Wei smiled slightly and glanced at Rohart: "Don't worry, Rohart. You have also stayed at Luoxue's place for some time. You should also know something about this guy. And I... have had comparable dealings with him.
You have much more! Luoxue is a very proud guy. Although he is our enemy, I have to admit that he is indeed a guy who sticks to his word."
Rohart thought for a while and couldn't help but said: "But, sir, even if this is the case, you... you should bring some guards."
"Guards?" Du Wei sneered: "Since we are going to the enemy's lair, it doesn't matter how many people we bring. If we bring too few, even if there is an accident, it won't be useful. Bringing too many...
…Should I take tens of thousands of people with me? That would not be keeping an appointment, but leading troops to fight."
There was still something he hadn't said in his mind: With his current strength, the personal guards who follow him on weekdays, to be honest, can no longer protect him much. If something really happened, he would have to escape alone.
Just run away. Those ordinary guards will become a burden.
The two of them left the city all the way, and Du Wei left alone without telling the generals in the city.
Outside the city, the group of wolf cavalry was still waiting at a distance. When Du Wei and Luo Hart came out of the city and arrived in front of them, the group of wolf cavalry immediately became vigilant. Each of the wolf cavalry looked at them with green eyes.
Staring at Du Wei coldly, his eyes were full of undisguised hostility, as if he would pounce on him and tear Du Wei into pieces at any time.
Du Wei stood under the gaze of the group of wolves, smiled leisurely, and glanced at Rohart: "This is the first time I have seen the wolf cavalry. I have heard of the name for a long time, and it is indeed very tough."
Rohart was still in the enemy camp, and he could barely speak a few words in the language of the elves, but the pronunciation of the elven language was very different from that of humans. There were many pronunciations that Rohart couldn't do, but he could still speak a few simple words.
Barely able to express my ideas with words.
At that moment, he took two steps and tried to protect Du Wei with his body, facing the leader of this group of wolf cavalry. He said a few words in brief elven language, the leader of the wolf cavalry is this.
The tallest of the wolf riders, the armor on his body was pure black like the others of the same kind. However, Du Wei looked carefully and saw that the handle of his long knife had a few more silver-white carvings, and the helmet
There are also two more iron pieces shaped like leaves.
The wolf cavalry captain looked at Du Wei carefully for a while, then snorted coldly, then turned his head and said something to the other companions. Although Du Wei could not understand their language, but here
After a few words, the wolf cavalry looked at Du Wei in a different way, seeming to have a hint of contempt and disdain.
Du Wei glanced at Rohart, who smiled bitterly and whispered: "Sir, they speak the language of the wolf tribe, which I can't understand. I can barely speak the language of the elves."
Later, Rohart also explained: Among the army of sinners, because the wolf tribe has the closest relationship with the elves, many wolves can speak the language of the elves. But this is not necessarily the case for other orcs.
Du Wei went on the road with these wolf cavalry. He was just wearing a simple robe and cape, lined with soft armor. He was riding a high-quality black horse selected from the northwest. Although this horse was unusually tall and strong,
It is a rare good horse, but after all, such a horse, surrounded by wolves, is also a little frightened. If it weren't for Du Wei's excellent flying horse handling and riding skills that he has practiced in the northwest for many years, he would only
I was afraid that the horse would be frightened and run wildly.
Twenty wolf cavalry surrounded Duwei and Rohart. Rohart came all the way on foot. When he returned, Duwei gave him a horse. The two of them rode in two, and there were so many giants around.
Surrounded by wolves, they headed north. Rohart refused to lose his majesty and tried to learn how to control the horses like Du Wei. However, he had mostly learned flying skills in the northwest, but his equestrian skills were not outstanding, so he left
After a while, the horse under him could no longer bear the fear, and suddenly neighed, and its body kept struggling, trying to escape. Rohart pulled the reins desperately, trying to calm the horse to no avail, and was finally lifted up by the horse's strength, and was lifted from the horse's back.
After breaking free, the horse immediately spread its hooves and galloped away.
The wolf cavalry around looked at it and laughed one after another. The laughter of these guys was sharp, like a wolf howling, with such a sense of pride and disdain that it immediately made Rohart's face turn red with anger.
Du Wei saw this, got off his horse, helped Rohart up, and said calmly: "Why are you so angry with a bunch of beasts? Get up, don't let these guys look down on you."
He pulled Rohart onto his horse, and the two of them rode together, and then reluctantly continued on their way.
Along the way, the wolf cavalry around them laughed wantonly. Although I couldn't understand their words, I guess they all meant contempt and ridicule.
It wasn't until the evening that after walking twenty or thirty miles, he stopped to rest next to a loose forest. Du Wei tied his horse to a tree trunk and let it graze on its own. He took pity on the horse and was surrounded by wolves.
The cavalry's mounts, those giant wolves, seemed to regard it as a delicious prey. Giant wolves kept whimpering and howling at it to threaten it, and even more giant wolves quietly approached. If the wolf cavalry hadn't stopped, they would have been killed long ago.
He jumped on it and tore it into pieces.
Those wolf cavalrymen seemed to deliberately let their mounts frighten Du Wei, but they did not let the giant wolf actually pounce, but they circled around, and finally scared Du Wei's horse to scratch its hooves and tremble.
Du Wei saw this and couldn't help but feel annoyed. He strode to the horse, used both arms to push the horse down and knelt down, and then touched the horse's neck with one hand, but quietly held the tears in his mouth and under his tongue.
, and then glanced at the surrounding pack of wolves. He deliberately used enough energy in his mouth and let out a fierce "hum"!
This humming sound suddenly sounded like a dragon's roar. Although the sound was not loud, there was naturally a strong dragon power in it!
When the giant wolves around them who were still grinning at first heard this sound, they all shouted one by one, and some even fled back on the spot. Some were so frightened that they clamped their tails tightly with their hind hooves, trembling and whimpering.
Du Wei laughed deliberately, his voice was like a dragon's roar, the roar spread far away, and the giant wolves couldn't help it. Even the wolf knights' expressions changed drastically, and they even showed a trace of fear, and
Unable to bear the oppression of this dragon's power, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but pull out his long knife. He stared at Du Wei nervously.
The wolf cavalry captain immediately shouted loudly, jumped over, and shouted a few words to his companion before he put away his knife. However, he stared at Du Wei coldly, muttered twice, and waved his hand.
Only then did his companions disperse and collect their mounts, the giant wolves, but finally restrained themselves from letting their mounts threaten Du Wei's horses.
Du Wei then sat down, took out the dry food from the horse's bag and shared it with Rohart, while at the same time carefully observing the wolf cavalry.
Wolf Cavalry... It was the first time Du Wei went to the northern front line, and it was also the first time he saw this legendary unit. When he was in the imperial capital before, he had read many battle reports, which showed the powerful units used against this kind of criminals.
The wolf cavalry's fierce combat power caused mankind to suffer a lot.
The first is in a field battle. When human cavalry fights against wolf cavalry, they always lose more and win less. Even if they occasionally win, it is only when their own numbers far outnumber their opponents.
In other people's eyes, they only saw the fear of the wolf cavalry, but in Du Wei's eyes, what they thought was different.
The scary thing about the wolf cavalry is their mounts!
Indeed, the wolf cavalry itself also has a strong fighting spirit. The orcs of this wolf clan have outstanding physiques and are similar in stature to humans, but are richer in brute force, cunning, cruelty and other qualities. But in terms of the quality of the cavalry itself,
The elite human cavalry have undergone rigorous training and may not lose to the orcs of the wolf tribe.
But the reason why human cavalry always suffers is that the opponent's mount is too powerful.
Human horses can only serve the purpose of "carrying" during combat. However, the giant wolves ridden by wolf cavalry can attack the enemy together with the knights during combat. These giant wolves are not just
Cavalry mounts, they also have shrill roars, mouths full of fangs that spurt blood, sharp claws, powerful strength, and amazing jumping abilities. During combat, wolf cavalry often attack the enemy with weapons, and
The mount can also flap and jump, helping the knight dodge enemy attacks, and can also use its sharp claws and sharp teeth to bite the enemy.
In the battle reports that Du Wei had seen, human cavalry who survived the battle with wolf cavalry reported: When fighting against this kind of enemy, even the elite human cavalry can compete with the opponent's wolf cavalry, but the opponent's
The mount can also pounce and bite. Under the same circumstances, it means that the opponent's battle force has suddenly more than doubled!
Many human cavalry who died in battle did not die under the blades of the opponent's wolf riders, but died under the bite of these giant wolves. Some of them were defeated by these giant wolves directly attacking their own horses.
After Du Wei read many battle reports, he was not only shocked by the combat power of this wolf cavalry, but also thought about... what if...
What if humans could also build such a special army?
Humph, I can even tame a gryphon, so why can’t I tame something like a giant wolf?
If human elite cavalry rode on such giant wolves to fight, wouldn't their combat effectiveness be more than doubled immediately?
Sitting under the tree, watching the wolf cavalry resting, many wolf cavalry took out dried meat and other things from their bags. Not only did they eat it themselves, but they also fed their giant wolves with their own hands. Some wolf cavalry even
, take out your water bag and drink with your mount!
Looking at these wolf riders, although they are cruel, they show an extremely affectionate attitude when taking care of their mounts.
Although human cavalry also attaches great importance to war horses, and some cavalry regard war horses as close comrades. However, few cavalry will drink and eat with war horses.
Du Wei even saw some wolf riders lying with the giant wolf when they were resting, some scratching the giant wolf's itch, and even some wolf riders lowered their heads next to the giant wolf's ears.
Whispering, seeming to be talking about something...
All this surprised Du Wei.
After pondering for a while, Du Wei whispered: "Rohart."
"Sir." Rohart responded immediately.
"You...how much do you know about these wolf riders?" Du Wei looked at the young man.
Rohart thought for a while: "I probably know something about it. When we were in the enemy camp, Elf King Luoxue never seemed to hide anything from me. Even if it was some important military matters, he would always speak frankly to me."
Du Wei's eyes stared at the wolf cavalry, faintly shining: "Do you think... is it possible for us to tame a giant wolf like this to become a mount for our cavalry? To be honest, I have studied these carefully.
According to the battle report of the Wolf Cavalry, their strength does not lie in these Wolf Cavalry warriors, but the advantage mainly comes from these powerful mounts."
After Rohart heard this, he lowered his head and thought seriously for a moment, but then he firmly shook his head: "Sir, I think this is impossible."
"Why?" Du Wei was a little disappointed: "Even if it is a wild beast, there is still a way to tame it."
"I understand what you mean." Rohart also looked at the wolf riders in the distance, but whispered: "But, sir, maybe you don't know. These giant wolves... they are not beasts! They are actually orcs.
!”
"What?" Du Wei was a little surprised.
"Yes, they are not simply wild beasts or mounts. I have gained some understanding of the situation of the wolf clan during these days in the enemy camp..."
Then, Rohart lowered his voice and told what he knew about the situation one by one:
These giant wolves of the wolf clan are not like human war horses, they are domesticated beasts.
The situation of the wolf clan is very special: usually, when the wolf clan reproduces offspring, an adult wolf orc female can give birth to about four to five children in her lifetime. However, it is probably because of the inherent defects of this race or
It is some kind of special racial genetic factor. Among the descendants of the wolf clan with four to five births, there will always be at least one special offspring: this kind of offspring does not look like a normal "
Orcs". More like their ancient ancestors: wolves!
This special offspring has lacked intelligence since birth. Both in body and mind, it is almost the same as that of a wild wolf, except that it is bigger, more brutal, and more fierce. Such a special offspring
, even after reaching adulthood, the intelligence level still remains at the childhood stage of ordinary wolf orcs, and can no longer grow.
This kind of special descendant has a special name among orcs, called "beast relatives". These beast relatives and other orcs are also born from the same mother, but their body shape and intelligence are not like "humans".
"...Sir, look at these wolf cavalry. They are extremely affectionate and kind to their mounts. It is not just because cavalry cherishes their horses in the ordinary sense, but the actual reason is: these mounts are all part of them.
Brothers from their mothers! The reason why the wolf cavalry is so powerful is that they have almost the same mentality as their mounts. Even the most elite human cavalry cannot beat them in riding skills. Just because these guys fight on their own brothers.
!This is not something that is domesticated, but something that exists in the blood that cannot be described in words... When fighting, these giant wolves will swear to the death to protect the cavalry on their backs and their brothers.
This kind of intimate relationship cannot be achieved through domestication."
After Rohart finished speaking, Du Wei looked frustrated, took another deep look at the wolf riders, and finally sighed helplessly.
If this is the case... it seems that it is really impossible!
At this time, Du Wei suddenly felt a touch of pity in his heart when he looked at the wolf cavalry who were feeding their mounts with dried meat and taking turns drinking water with their mounts from the same water bag.
Seeing that Du Wei remained silent, Rohart thought it was because Du Wei was disappointed. Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, Du Wei suddenly smiled with a very relaxed expression: "Okay, if that's the case, then forget it. But.
... Don’t worry, I’m not depressed or disappointed.”
After a pause, Duwei patted Rohart on the shoulder: "I learned early on how powerful the wolf cavalry is, so taming this kind of thing is just one of my ideas. But since I'm thinking about a problem, I can't blindly get into trouble.
, hanged on a tree. What I can tell you is... hum, I also prepared a backup plan! I have already had people build a special cavalry in the northwest city of Gilliat.
'!Although we can't form too many in numbers for the time being. However, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, I am confident that they will never be weaker than these wolf riders!"
Rohart looked at Du Wei and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. However, this Duke has always been good at creating all kinds of miracles. This time, I don't know what tricks he has played again.
The wolf cavalry was extremely brave. They only rested in the woods for an hour and did not spend the night here. They continued on their way overnight.
Near noon the next day, we finally arrived at the fallen fortress at the front of the eastern front.
Du Wei came here for the second time. From a distance, the city wall at the south end was still full of fireworks, as if he had led the Slytherin Griffin Knights in the sneak attack and set fire to everything, but the enemy didn't do anything afterwards.
Great efforts were made to repair the city wall.
This surprised Du Wei.
Because such an important fortress fell into the hands of the guilty people, in line with their emotions and reasons, they should also step up the reinforcement and repair of the southern city wall and be ready for the battle!
But now it seems that on the southern city wall, there are still many places where the black marks of the fire remain. There are some individual places where the wall was damaged by stamps during the battle and has never been repaired.
Even... there are not enough fighting equipment piled on the city wall, such as rolling nails, stones, etc., it seems that there are not many.
Could it be that... the sinners are not worried about counterattack after they have assembled a large army in the south?!
As he got closer, Du Wei was surprised to find that many orcs were busy under the city wall... and what they were busy with was not digging trenches or carrying stones to reinforce the city wall.
.
I saw those strong orcs running back and forth, placing sandbags and straw bags one by one against each other under the city wall, as well as some wood, hay...
There were even some wooden barrels! Du Wei recognized those wooden barrels at a glance. They were the remnants of humanity's defeat.
Fire oil!!
Du Wei was suspicious, what were these guys doing piling up so many flammable things under the fortress wall?!
Just when he was frowning, in the distance, in the city gate, a figure, wearing silver elf armor, was standing there without any followers. Under the sun, its figure seemed to be shining.
…
The familiar clear and melodious voice came, still carrying the calm and elegant tone in my memory...
