I rely on you all to cultivate

Chapter 463 Detour
Xu Ling hurriedly returned to the headquarters, and before he had time to wash up and have a warm meal, he was dragged to the headquarters by a group of staff officers.

After communication, everyone has a rough idea of ​​the distribution of orcs.

"What do you mean by the mission you assigned to Luo Ji? What made them think that we were about to pass?" Zhu Taran asked.

"Yeah, why tell them in advance!" Zhang Yuan was also puzzled.

In the plan of the expeditionary army, once they found the position of the large orc army, they would immediately launch an attack while they were unstable, beat the dogs in the water, and try to destroy them in one go before they stabilized their position and the morale of the army.

"Because we don't need to fight head-on."

But Xu Ling expressed a different opinion, "They gathered a lot of legions from the rear to that town called Maxus, that's the place."

He pointed at the map.

"I've seen it from a distance. That place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Mobius River in front is so old and wide. If you want to pass it, it will definitely be blocked. I don't know how much it will cost."

Xu Ling has been drawing on the map. The difference from before is that no one will not listen to him when he speaks. Everyone knows that the only difference between him and those generals is seniority.

"So, if we don't fight head-on, you mean to take the back road?" Fu Zheng said holding a thermos.

"That's right, let's go in a big circle and go north around the Huju Basin. We must go outside, and we must not be discovered by them in advance. Wait until we go around the outside of the basin, and then enter through the Xiping Gorge, and we will arrive at Thornfell Si City, where their factory area for daily necessities is produced.”

Xu Ling raised his head and scanned the crowd, "And there is only one orc army stationed there."

"As long as we take the rear, they will be in chaos at the front!"

Zhang Yuan slapped his hands, "Chief, let's do this."

Fu Zheng was silent, and waited for a while before saying: "I'm not the commander in chief."

Zhu Taran quietly rolled her eyes and said: "The staff group will study and judge the feasibility first, formulate a plan, and then make a decision after it comes out, and the meeting will be adjourned."

In the following time, Xu Ling had no way to contact Luo Ji, because the distance was too far, and it would take a long time to go back and forth. If he went, in case something unexpected happened during the period, he would not be able to participate.

However, as one of the highest combat forces in the expeditionary force, he couldn't do without him, so he could only wait for the headquarters' plan to be released before talking about other things.

Back in the big camp at the pass, Xu Ling found that it was extremely lively.

The convoys from Kuliwush transported not only living supplies, but also a lot of construction materials. When I returned to the investigation team, I found out that the refugees who were rescued from the orcs wanted to settle here.

Luo Zhixing, like Fu Zheng, has the habit of running around with a thermos, and he drinks water from time to time while explaining.

"In any case, the western continent has been smashed into a mess by the orcs, and there are no complete towns left. But the pass is an important military area, and the alliance will not give up. Sooner or later, a fortress will be built here. Those who are willing to stay and become the first batch of residents can also be used as supporting facilities for military fortresses.”

Xu Ling had some experience in fighting, but he didn't know anything about this kind of thing, so he just listened to the excitement. After the incident, he called Liu Tao and others, and asked them to sort out the list of combatants in the current investigation team.

If the time comes to implement the plan to go around the back, at most half of the combat power can only be dispatched, and the rest will stay, one is to guard the pass, and the other is because non-warrior troops are still not suitable for long-distance treks, which will slow down the progress .

So Xu Ling thought that the firearms troops must be the main ones staying for defense at that time. He had to make preparations in advance, wait for the command to issue an order, and decide as soon as possible who would go and who would stay.

After a night of hard work, he and Liu Tao finally completed the screening. At the same time, the staff of the headquarters was not idle. When they just stretched their waists and prepared to rest, the order had already arrived.

Chu Xiaojun said: "Xu Ling, you choose the two brigades of the warrior army, and the strongest group should be completed within today, and you can directly submit the list to me."

Xu Ling signaled with his eyes that Liu Tao directly handed over the results of the two of them working all night.

Chu Xiaojun raised his eyebrows: "You guys move really neatly."

Xu Ling snorted: "Of course, since those staff officers are fine, they probably have to look for me."

"It's good to know, let's go."

He went to the headquarters again, with the purpose of describing what he saw on the road in as much detail as possible to the staff, mainly about the remnants of the orcs and the terrain, etc. Yesterday, he didn't have time to go into details.

After the lecture, the staff officers sent him out like a respectful father.

After several days of preparations, the army, mainly armed with firearms, set out first to Marcus Town where the orcs were located. They would stop at the other side of the Mobius River in front of the town, pretending to cross the river to fight, confront the orcs, and sneak out. each other's attention.

In this way, the enemy will inevitably relax their vigilance towards the rear. They never expected that there would be a human army that would grasp the precise location of the rear factory and would make a wide circle to sneak attack.

On the second day after the frontal forces set off, the raiding force also set off to the north along the mountain barriers on both sides of the pass.

In this team, [-]% are warriors, and the rest are God's Chosen. Only a few snipers like Xu Xiaoyu carry magic crystal guns, and none of these snipers are ordinary people.

This configuration is for the purpose of hurrying on the road as soon as possible. Under Zhu Taran's deliberate urging, the marching speed is extremely fast.

After going far enough to the north, the team turned to the west. During this process, Xu Ling stopped acting and simply joined the reconnaissance team temporarily to open the way ahead.

In the early morning of the third day of departure, the team was already far away from the line connecting the pass to Marcus Town. Xu Ling suddenly turned back from the direction of reconnaissance, dragging a low-level monster in his hand.

He ran straight to Zhu Taran's position, and said solemnly: "Boss, we found monsters here, and the density is only slightly lower than the normal standard."

A place without human order is an occupied area, and it is not surprising that there are monsters in the occupied area.

But the problem is, in the vicinity of the original orc army, all the monsters have been conscripted as thugs or cannon fodder, so there are almost no wild monsters in the nearby wild.

At that time, the expeditionary army didn't know whether the orc army had controlled all the monsters in the western continent, but it didn't seem to be the case now.

Zhu Taran thought for a while, and immediately called Chu Xiaojun, telling him to go on and speed up the march, and at the same time, if he encountered monsters, he would wipe them all out, so that no one would be left alive.

What he was worried about was that even if there were still wild monsters patrolling here, if he was summoned to the location of the orcs at this time, or had any other contact information, then the location of this army would be at risk of being exposed.

When Xu Ling returned to the scouting post, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After thinking about it carefully, I found a problem, that is, since the war with the orcs, although there are many domesticated monsters, but super-level monsters have never appeared, including the silver dragon. just disappeared.

He didn't believe that there wasn't even a single super-level beast on the Western Continent, and he didn't believe that those orcs would let go of such powerful combat power. His intuition told him that the disappearance of these guys was probably due to some kind of conspiracy.
