Lord Harland

Chapter 69 The Defense of Vickburg V

"Let these captives act as translators to help interrogate the captured sheep-headed men."

Soon Dida selected a few smart people from the rescued people.

Being rescued by humans, even though they are not their own lords, this group of people all have a sense of survival after disaster.

One of the old captives seemed to have an unusual temperament. Through conversations, Richard knew that this person was a low-level official in the Dukedom of Jonathan.

"What's your name, do you have noble blood?"

"My name is Bernard. I'm a distant relative of Baron Luca. I work as a tax officer in Della Castle."

"How many years have you lived in the Orc Empire?"

"It's been 13 years."

"How is your life in the Orc Empire?"

"That is a frightening memory, sir!
This time, the Shamok brigade took a detour and turned over the Eagle Mountain Range. When there was not enough food, they ate people. Many of our companions were eaten by orcs.

Fox people and sheep people are slightly better, lion people are brutal, werewolves are bloodthirsty, and pig people are brutal.

We spend every day in the orc empire, our hearts feel like a knife is piercing, and we are always in fear of being eaten. "

As he spoke, Bernard burst into tears.

They have been captured by orcs for many years, and they are precarious, and even become food for orcs. The heavy pressure makes them live like years.I was rescued by Li Cha today, and when I got to a safe place, I couldn't help crying bitterly to vent.

"My condolences! Mr. Bernard, the situation is very urgent now, it's not the time to cry. Why do you guys follow the sheep-headed man?"

"The Shamok Brigade took a long detour this time, and it is difficult to carry too much food. I heard that Captain Marurand made a suggestion to let humans transport food along with them. When there is not enough food, they can eat people to supplement the army rations.

A few days after crossing the Eagle Mountain Range, many of our people were eaten by Shamok, especially women and children, who were half eaten by orcs. "

"This news is a secret message in the orc army, how did you know?"

"I was caught in the fourth year of the Beastman Empire and sold to the fox tribe. I have been taking care of the children of the fox nobles. This child is now a magician of the Imsh brigade, and he told me the news."

"You have been in the orc empire for many years, which race of orc language can you understand?"

"The orc language was actually born out of the ancient northern language family in the Dawn Continent. After the wizard blood experiment, the vocal organs of the major orc races were different, forming different languages.

After the establishment of the orc empire, the official script and official language were vigorously promoted.

Most of the middle and upper strata of the Orc Empire can speak the official language.However, the vocabulary of the official language is small, and when encountering complex vocabulary, the orcs can still speak their own language.

I have been in the Beastman Empire for many years, and I can understand Vulpey, Sheepman, Official Language, some Tauren language, and about half of the Beastman language. "

Hearing that there are such talents in saving mankind, Li Cha said very happily: "You have noble blood, I should have given you freedom. But now it is a state of war, and I need you to serve us.

Unfortunately, Mr. Bernard, you have been commandeered.You will be free only after the war is over. "

"I understand your decision very well."

Bernard has been in the Orc Empire for many years. If he is not aware of current affairs, he will not be able to live for such a long time.

Let Bernard be the interpreter, and Dida took him to interrogate the orc captives.

Richard began to count the casualties.

"One of the Seventh Squadron was killed and three were injured."

"Two of the First Squadron of Harland Territory were killed and four were injured."

Li Cha nodded, and said to the officers beside him: "The two squadrons each dispatched three small squads of soldiers to escort the captives back to Fort William, and send the wounded back to Poppy Brick Kiln Factory.

The soldiers of these six squads belonged to Hayden's command.

The rescued population is temporarily settled in the reclamation camp.Now is the spring plowing season, let the reclamation camp take action, and the plowing cannot be delayed.

After the mission, rendezvous with the main force in the woods six kilometers east of Vickburg. "

Soon the information was interrogated. Shamok's main brigade attacked Fort Vic, and two auxiliary squadrons wiped out human villages in Stopa Territory.

Because there are no people in Stopa's territory, a goatman squadron has entered Dirham's territory.

By interrogating the captives, Li Cha roughly figured out the deployment of the orcs.

The Sheephead Camp is less than [-] kilometers away from Fort Vic.

Of course the slashing and killing caused by the war could not be heard from Fort Vic.

However, during the surprise attack in the dark night, some goatmen fled the battlefield while taking advantage of the chaos.

These people may bring intelligence to the Vickburg orcs, and attacking the Vickburg orcs risks exposure.

If the orc commander is smart enough to use his tricks, he might even count the reinforcements brought by Richard.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Richard decided to enter Dirham's territory and annihilate the goatman squadron.

Let's see if we can unite with the army of Dirham's Territory and go to Vic Fort to rescue them together, so the chances of winning will be better.

Li Cha told the grassroots officers and backbone soldiers of his determination.

After unifying their opinions, they bypassed Stopa Territory overnight and entered Dirham Territory.

The previous generation of Baron Dirham died of illness, and the new Baron Dirham was less courageous, and he did not implement a strong wall to clear the country.

Even a squadron of sheep-headed men was too scared to leave the city.

It was the first time Li Cha saw such a hereditary nobleman.

In the nine years since he came to Chenxi Continent, all the hereditary nobles Li Cha met were strong and brave.

Northern Xinjiang aristocrats like Father William, Baron Harden, Baron Duck, and the previous Baron Stoppa are all relatively common.

Even a girl like Sophia who grew up in northern Xinjiang is very courageous in character.

Baron Dirham's performance like this naturally did not get Richard's respect.

The joint rescue plan has not yet started, and it has gone bankrupt in Li Cha's mind.

Through investigation, Li Cha discovered that the sheep-headed people continued to break through villages and towns, and arrested the people of Dirham, as if they were in an uninhabited territory.

Li Cha deliberately ignored it, but hid in Dirham's territory for three days, and found that the goat man had no intention of attacking the lord's castle, so Li Cha led his soldiers and launched an attack on the goat man squadron.

This battle was very successful again. Li Cha personally shot and killed a first-order goatman, and then cooperated with Heyman to kill the leader of the goatman squadron, gaining 2500 experience points.

In addition, more than 60 sheep-headed men were captured and [-] Dirham citizens were rescued.

The Dirham Territory was lucky to escape the last orc invasion.

This time, Richard turned into Baron Harden and picked up a big bargain from Baron Dirham.

Since there was no respect for Baron Dirham, of course the rescued leader Richard would not return them, and they all migrated to Harland's territory.
