Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 771 The Bad Omen
The North Camp is the location of the Hanhai Empire's northern frontier camp. It is only a hundred miles away from the border city wall. There are [-] elite frontier soldiers stationed all year round. Once the northern city wall is attacked by barbarians, they can quickly rush to help.

The current Marshal of the Northern Frontier Army is Orlando. He was originally the Marshal of the Empire's Western Expedition Army. In his glorious moment, he sent millions of troops westward to occupy the entire Far East.

However, with the strong rise of the Nanchuan Army led by Lin Chuan, coupled with the vigorous uprising that broke out in the Far East, Orlando mishandled it, resulting in the loss of a large area occupied by the Empire, and the Empire’s Western Expeditionary Army also suffered heavy losses, so his position was newly appointed by the Empire. Field Marshal Simon was replaced by his own, and he was sent to defend the northern part of the empire against the barbarians.

Although Orlando still bears the title of marshal, his status is not as good as before. Now the troops he can actually control are only a mere 20 defensive troops, and they are distributed along the long border. Compared with the elite, it is no longer the same.

Although Orlando lost power and stayed in the bitterly cold northern border area to defend the border, he himself did not lose his will. After taking charge of the northern border guards, he vigorously purgeed the border guards.

During the few months when he took over the border guards, he eliminated the old and weak, trained soldiers, and promoted young officers, allowing the border guards to be reborn in a short period of time and become completely new. Both military discipline and morale have been greatly changed.

According to what Orlando said, the northern border has a strong and thick city wall to resist the barbarians. Although the barbarians have never broken through the city wall in the past long time, if the barbarians break through the city wall, then the soldiers of the border guards are needed Flesh and blood build a new Great Wall of flesh and blood to protect the empire's territory and the people behind it.

Marshal Orlando's idea of ​​planning for a rainy day is very good, but the senior generals of the border guards didn't take it seriously at all. After all, behind the high wall of the northern border city, it is impossible to break through with the strength of barbarians. Increase the intensity of training and purge the army It is not necessary at all, so in the early stage, most of them are yin and yang.

Orlando used to be in charge of millions of field elites. How could he be so easy to fool? After beheading several senior generals of the border guards who did not obey orders, the border guards realized from top to bottom that Orlando was not joking. Clean up, now the border guards have completely eliminated the lazy and frivolous atmosphere, and they have taken on a new look.

The purge of the army has entered the regular stage. Orlando's next plan is to establish a reserve system in the northern border area. Once the border guards suffer heavy losses, they can be replenished by the reserve. However, Orlando is not in a hurry. After all, he is likely to stay in the north for the rest of his life. In the bitter cold place, there is a lot of time.

On this day, Orlando still habitually got up and exercised at dawn as usual. Although he was already a marshal and did not need to fight the enemy, he still did not abandon his ability to fight and kill the enemy.

After Orlando opened the military tent, a fierce cold wind came blowing over him, making him shiver all over. Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, he sighed, fearing that the storm would come again.

Sure enough, before he finished his set of military boxing, the originally slightly bright sky had completely darkened. Although it was early in the morning, it seemed to be in the evening. Immediately after that, there was a strong wind, and heavy rain fell, and the sky was dark. It was like the bottom of a pot, and the lamp had to be lit in the handsome tent.

"It's really weird, this storm is too weird." Orlando muttered to himself while eating breakfast.

After thinking for a moment, Orlando ordered the guards: "Let all the generals come to our tent to discuss matters."

This kind of weather is very strange, with strong wind and heavy rain. The defense around the city wall must be strengthened. If the barbarians take the opportunity to attack, it will not be worth the loss. This is Orlando's idea.

Soon, the drenched generals arrived at Orlando's tent. He glanced at one of the young generals and asked, "General Liu Ting, what happened to your head?"

General Liu Ting is a newly promoted young general in Orlando. He is not only brave in battle, but also thoughtful. Orlando values ​​him very much. At this moment, his head is wrapped in gauze, and the gauze seeps out bright red blood, which makes Orlando puzzled.

"Reporting to Marshal, when he was inspecting the defense in the morning, he was smashed by the flagpole that was broken by the strong wind. It's not a problem." General Liu Ting heard Orlando's inquiry, and hurriedly came out to answer respectfully.

Hearing that General Liu Ting's head was hit by a flagpole broken by the wind, Orlando frowned. A broken military flag was an ominous omen. Combined with this weird weather, his heart was shrouded in a haze.

However, Orlando would not say those words that would shake the morale of the army. He just told the generals that this is an eventful time, and they must be more vigilant.

The generals accepted the order to leave one by one, but the wind and rain outside were getting bigger and bigger, the earth was hazy under the dark sky, and nothing could be seen clearly. Looking at the torrential rain outside the tent, Orlando frowned, vaguely ominous Could it be that there is a problem with the war in the Far East?

Now the entire empire is calm except for fighting against the Nanchuan Army in the Far East. According to information, the Nanchuan Army has dispatched a large number of elite soldiers to the Far East. Orlando is really worried about whether Marshal Simon is the opponent of the Nanchuan Army. After thinking about it, he decided to send someone to inquire about the news in the Far East. If Marshal Simon was defeated, he might have a comeback day in Orlando. His brows widened when he thought of this.

drive - drive -

Just as Orlando was about to turn around and go back to the military tent, suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes in the rain, and a drenched cavalry galloped towards him.

"Stop! Stop! This is a place with a lot of handsome tents! Trespassers will be killed without mercy!" Before the cavalry rushed over, a large number of guards in solid armor had already surrounded him to prevent him from approaching.

"I'm a scout from the First Brigade! I have an urgent military report!" The cavalryman didn't get off his horse, but stood on his horse and roared.

"Bring him here," Orlando ordered.

Soon, the drenched scout cavalry was sent to Orlando. When he approached Orlando, he found that the scout cavalry from the First Brigade had several arrows stuck in his chest, and blood flowed out. He was already weak at the moment. Incomparably, Orlando frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

"I'm Orlando, what's your urgent military situation?" Orlando asked impatiently.

"Master Marshal, the barbarians are coming, they have breached the city wall! Our first brigade has been defeated, run away..." The scout cavalry reported loudly regardless.

"What are you talking nonsense, you really want to be beaten!" The captain of the Guards immediately kicked him to the ground when he heard the scouts say these words that could shake the morale of the army.

Orlando glared at the Captain of the Guards Alliance, and the Captain of the Guards Alliance immediately didn't dare to do it again. Orlando was about to ask the scout cavalry again, but he had already passed out.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu for foreword to see what's going on!"

Regardless of the downpour, the Captain of the Guards Alliance immediately turned around and ran into the rain curtain, and quickly disappeared.
