Wei Lisi joked with a smile, and Her Royal Highness also lowered her head in embarrassment.

She was indeed impulsive before. As the supreme commander of the army, the important thing is not to kill many enemies with her own hands, but to keep a calm mind and thinking at all times.

"Sorry, not anymore, how long has it been since? Where are we now?"

"It's noon the next day. After burning the batch of food and grass, we will follow the previous agreement and lead the troops to withdraw from the valley and head west, deeper into the beast kingdom."

During the observation some time ago, Lilia and the others discovered that the grain and grass of the orcs were very wrong. Not only were they large in quantity and high in quality, but many of them were vegetarians such as grains that were rarely produced in the territory.

This is definitely not the military ration produced by the Beast Kingdom, and it also explains why the orcs can suddenly support such a large-scale tug-of-war.

Who is supporting them secretly? Although Lilia, Wei Lisi and others have vague guesses in their hearts, they cannot jump to a conclusion in the current situation.

In order to completely cut off this batch of food and grass from unknown sources, and to further explore the conspiracy behind this war, and even collect key evidence, it is necessary for Lilia to find the place where they were produced.

Because the information obtained from the orc soldiers captured before was relatively vague, and the tiger general who might have known more specific details was killed on the battlefield, so Her Royal Highness only got a rough idea of ​​the location so far. Nothing is known about what's going on inside.

As for why Hua didn't capture the information about the torture of the general named Kunel, but chose to kill him on the spot...

The explanation given by the former is that the tiger is quite strong, probably at the level of the upper earth and close to the sky level, especially, it gives her a very cunning feeling.

If you keep your hands, Hua can't guarantee that the shadow guard will not suffer casualties, or even let the enemy escape.

There is nothing wrong with what you said... There is nothing wrong with it, it was the same situation at the time, but Wei Lisi always felt that Miss Crimson Flame Flower still had some secrets to tell, as if she was hiding it from her and Lilia.

Miss Priest doesn't know much about the past of this legendary adventurer. She only knows that she and Lilia are close friends who have known each other for several years, and Hua's concern for Miss Wang is not pretending. Liz doesn't plan to go too deep for the time being.

According to the information provided by the enthusiastic soldiers and the traces of the arrival of the supply troops, the light cavalry army took less than one-third of the time to complete the journey of the orcs for several days, and arrived at the intelligence station at nightfall. The location of the edge of the basin.

Tapea Basin.

This is a depression surrounded by a series of low peaks ranging from more than a hundred to one thousand meters. The internal area is about a thousand acres. Due to the surrounding mountains, it is difficult for the cold moisture to enter the periphery, and the climate is warmer and drier than the outside world. , but it is a good place to stock up on food.

The most important thing is that there is only one entrance and exit about tens of meters wide in this basin. As long as troops are sent to guard this place firmly, unless the difference in individual combat power is too large, it will have the effect that one man will guard the gate and ten thousand people will not be able to open it.

She didn't enter the basin rashly. To be cautious, Lilia first stationed her troops in a hidden location nearby, and then sent a few elite shadow guards to investigate the situation quietly.

It was possible to infiltrate the transport team and even poison it before, because the other party did not expect that humans could quietly cross the Heihe River and sneak into the territory of the Beast Kingdom. Their defenses were not strong, and the troops were always on the move, which gave Lilia an opportunity.

But the soaring fire last night must have alarmed the entire orc border, and the security here will definitely be strengthened. Coupled with the advantages of the terrain, even if there are only a thousand orcs guarding it, it will be difficult for Lilia to lead the army to attack. Disaster.

The luggage was burned, as long as the orc commander was not a fool, he would immediately realize that the human army had sneaked into the country, and reversed Miss Wang's purpose and sent troops to support the place.

Considering the opponent's reaction time, marching speed, distance and a series of factors, in the fastest case, from noon to night tomorrow, the orc wolf cavalry troops will arrive at the outskirts of the basin. The time is actually very tight.

Therefore, after Lilia temporarily fell into a coma last night, Wei Lisi, Hua and several generals discussed with each other before deciding not to wait for Her Royal Highness to wake up and continue marching according to the plan.

In fact, if Wei Lisi is willing to act, there are actually many ways to easily destroy this granary and find out who is behind the scenes.

But this is the battlefield and test that belongs to Lilia Mackelander. If everything is left to the pastor to do everything on her own, like the one on the black river, it will lose its meaning.

After the scouts are discharged to investigate the situation, there is a short rest time. After all, except for freaks like Wei Lisi, even legendary flowers will feel tired due to long-term mental tension, so they need to recharge their batteries and prepare for the upcoming next battle.

At the same time, the orcs were in the big tent of the army.

"Well, so to speak, the enemy's goal is indeed to cut off our army's food and grass. You said, one of the attackers is a young woman with short red hair and excellent bow skills. She will kill you with one blow...uh, kill you?"

The high priest of the orc tribe, the leader of the fox tribe, and the generalissimo Chaharite were still sitting on its carpet, with the dilapidated hard wooden stick beside him, looking down at the tiger kneeling on the ground with two dark circles under his eyes. General Quinil.

Especially at the end, even with the old fox's city and mind, he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth and almost complained.

Good guy, you said that if you burn the food and grass, you will burn the food and grass. You have to emphasize that you were instantly killed by the enemy with an arrow. If you are really dead, what is kneeling in front of the old man now, a ghost?

Therefore, young people always like to exaggerate and reduce the responsibility for their own mistakes by touting the tyranny of the enemy. They cannot be taught, and they cannot be taught!

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The Old Fox's Calculation

"High Priest, I'm sure that I have used all my strength to resist that blow, but it was still useless. Although I don't know why I didn't die in the end, the arrow had indeed penetrated my head at that time."

The tall and strong tiger man knelt on the ground with his head lowered, his eyes were full of confusion and guilt, he was ashamed because he failed to keep the food and grass, and he didn't understand why he could still get out of the ashes of the battlefield. woke up again.

"Okay, I think you were not shot through the head, but your brain was knocked out, that's all, except for your inexplicable testimony, the rest is within expectations, go find a witch doctor to take a good look, you Your head is much more important than your brute strength."

"Uh, but the high priest, I didn't lie, it was really...!"

"enough!"

Chaharite let out a low snort. Although it still looked so funny because of the eye problem, the majesty it had cultivated for a long time still shocked Kunnell who wanted to speak up to defend.

"The old man knows that you are very unwilling to lose food and grass, and is eager to find an excuse to get rid of the crime, but this matter itself is not entirely your responsibility."

"If my predictions are correct, that red-haired archer should be one of the three legends of the City of Courage in the United Kingdom. Fei Yanhua, the second-generation successor of Red Lotus Archery, can escape her life, you It's already very remarkable, after all, even if I am an old man, I don't dare to say that I can win against that woman..."

"Forehead…….."

The aggrieved tiger man opened his mouth, he really wanted to emphasize again that it was definitely not an illusion, but as the high priest said, if he had been pierced through the brain by an arrow at that time, how could he be alive now?

Could it be that his head was hit hard and his memory was messed up?

Kunel, who has always been proud of his wisdom far superior to that of his own race, for the first time had serious doubts about his own cognition.

"Okay, you go down, and stay in the Chinese army for the time being to listen to the instructions. I will deal with the troops that attacked you and the issue of food and grass separately. This time the situation is special, so I won't forget you."

"...Yes, thank you High Priest for your generosity."

After hesitating for a moment, Kunel still didn't say anything more, got up and exited the central army tent.

The footsteps faded away.

At this time, the old fox Chaharriet showed a thoughtful look of doubt: "It's strange... If it is really against the Crimson Flame Flower, it is impossible for Kunel to save a life, so why did the woman let it go? ?”

"Besides, why didn't the other party catch it to interrogate the information? To prevent this, I specially banned Kunil, was it in vain..."

"No, think about it from another angle. Is it possible that what the guy said is true? Crimson Flame Flower did kill him, but something brought Kunel back to life?"

Subconsciously, Chaharit thought of undead magic. The group of forces that made deals with the Beast Emperor were mixed with dragons and snakes. There are indeed guys who study these disgusting things, but they should have no chance and reason to use them on Kunel. ….

What's more, according to the old fox's observation just now, this tiger is full of vitality, bright pupils, and fluent in speech. Although it has suffered a little injury, it is still full of vitality, which is completely different from "those things".

Could it be the real resurrection magic?

No, it's impossible, there is no witch doctor or priest in the Kingdom of Beasts who possesses such profound power, otherwise Chaharite would not be unaware of it.

The "miracle that can revive the dead" that is widely circulated in the world can only be achieved by the saint of redemption among the three saints of the Holy Empire by relying on that artifact.

Although there are many other messy legends and rumors such as resurrection and resurrection, most of them are actually nonsense, and a few are illusions caused by undead, corpse puppets, or the transformation of corpses into other races to obtain "newborn".

Only the Holy Maiden of Redemption can completely preserve the sanity, memory and power of the dead, and resurrect the dead creatures without changing their race, which is the real "resurrection".

Everything else is just a curse that falsely claims salvation.

And I heard that the miracle of resurrection is a heavy burden on the Redemption Saintess, she can't use it at will, let alone travel thousands of miles to the territory of the Beast Kingdom to save an unknown, but a little clever tiger man.

Yes, it doesn’t make sense in every way, even if the suspected transcendent existence in Wanhe Fortress has mastered similar power, she has absolutely no reason to use this extremely depleted ability for a weak tiger or an enemy .

The most reasonable explanation is that Kunel himself had hallucinations. As for the reason why Fei Yanhua let him go, Chaharriet still can't figure it out.

But just in case, the old fox deliberately found an excuse to let Kunnell stay in the central army and be under his own surveillance, so that even if something happened, he would have time to react.

"However... If it is really Crimson Flame Flower, and there is an assassin group composed of all women, there is a high probability that it is the princess's bodyguard. It is impossible for the bodyguard to leave the master. So, Princess Lilia is really here In that army..."

After confirming this, the old fox picked up the tattered wooden stick beside him, and carved and drew under his feet for a long time. When the strange pattern began to glow, he opened his mouth in a low voice.

"The guess is correct. Your target should be near there. I will send the fastest troops to support. I don't need to say more about the rest."

No one responded, and the light of the pattern gradually faded, dissipating on the ground like bubbles, but Chaharite knew that the opponent had already been notified, and success or failure would depend entirely on tomorrow's battle.

"..."

"Come on, pass on my Marshal's order to order the [-]st, [-]th, and [-]th Legions of the Wolf Riders and the [-]st Mixed Harpy Army to set off for the Tapea Basin overnight... The Ghost Fox Assassins are also going. Hurry up, tomorrow night, No, I must arrive at my destination before noon, the details are under the control of Mavis, she knows what to do."

"Yes!"

"etc…….."

"Yes, what orders does the High Priest have?" The fox warrior, who had half of his body out of the tent, turned his head when he heard the sound.

"...Tell Mevis, do your best. This is an internal struggle among the human race. Although we have received benefits, there is no need to risk our lives. If nothing can be done, allow her to give up her plan to retreat."

"Understood! High Priest!"

The light seeping in from outside the camp dimmed again, but in the miserable dark circles of the high priest's eyes, the pupils shone with brilliance, full of wisdom and calmness accumulated over time.

After a long while, it seemed to have made up its mind and summoned a messenger again.

"Send out scouts to inform the southern and northern armies who are at war with the United Kingdom. Immediately after receiving the order, launch a full-scale attack. After another day of fighting, no matter whether you can achieve success or not, you will immediately retreat into the border after one day, shrinking from north to south, and building an encirclement network."

"If you encounter humans, you can fight on your own, but don't chase after them or fight to the death. That's it, go."

"Yes, High Priest!"

After a short break, the old fox laughed sinisterly.

"Allies, this old man has done his best, and he is worthy of the large amount of supplies and food he provided to you."

"Whether the gods exist or not, it's up to you [Eternal Life Throne] to test it out. I, a beastman, don't want to continue wading through this muddy water, hahahahaha..."

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Secret of the Undead

In a dense forest on the outskirts of the Tapea Basin, Princess Lilia wore a cleaned silver-white battle armor and replaced it with a new sword. She stood in an open space in the forest and listened quietly to the Shadow Guard's report.

After the baptism of war and fighting during this period, Her Royal Highness's once immature face seemed to have been washed away. Compared with when Wei Lisi first met her, there was a faint aura of iron and blood resoluteness, and the sharp and beautiful eyes were added with a sharp brilliance that ordinary people could hardly look at directly.

Her long sky-blue hair was tied into a neat ponytail and was firmly fixed by a silver feather helmet. Her slender body and well-rounded chest were protected by the armor. If you look at her petite body of less than 1.6 meters, it is impossible to imagine her heroic posture in the hundreds of thousands of orcs.

The shadow guard Emily half-kneeled on the ground, looking up at Her Royal Highness who has served for many years from the corner of her eye. She could feel that her master was undergoing a huge transformation at an unimaginable speed, and was about to break out of the cocoon. Become a butterfly.

As the princess's right-hand man, Emily naturally has some understanding of the master's current situation.

But as long as this task can be completed and the war with the orcs can be successfully won, after returning to the capital, Princess Lilia will definitely suppress all competitors with an unstoppable force and firmly trample them under her feet.

After a little more work, when the dying old king dies, Lilia will become the new generation of Her Majesty Queen of the United Kingdom of Mankind, ascending to the pinnacle of the world.

To this end, Emily will help her master at all costs.

For example, find out the information about the stronghold that is about to attack.

"Is that so... Human..."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ms. Shadow Guard nodded, "Our sisters have checked carefully. The facilities in the basin are completely operated by humans. There are a lot of traps, organs and counter magic circles set up around it. It is impossible for orcs to will use these things."

Lilia, the flowers beside her, and Miss Willis, who was yawning boredly against the big tree, looked at each other, and smiled bitterly, "Unexpected, reasonable? No, this is also expected. As for Nei, he is really omnipotent, let alone..."

"Emily, how many people are there in the basin, has the other party found you?"

The female guard, who was wearing a dark tights and whose face was covered by a black veil, pondered for a moment, and said in her slightly hoarse but strangely charming voice: "It seems that I didn't find out. Everyone has never ventured into the interior of the basin, but climbed up the surrounding steep mountains to observe from a high place. As for how many people..."

"I've already checked this out. The number of people is not large, it should be only about 300, but..."

Miss Hua suddenly accepted Emily's words, with a strange expression on her face, "Lilia, those guys in the basin are not human."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Her Royal Highness tilted her head in confusion, but Hua who raised the topic did not answer immediately, but frowned as if hesitating. Helplessly, Lilia could only turn her questioning gaze to the miraculous Miss Priest.

Wei Lisi spread her hands innocently, as if she had nothing to do with me, "Don't look at me, I didn't investigate, under normal circumstances, I am only responsible for protecting the safety of my employer, Lilia, you can't have too strong animosity towards me. Dependence."

"Well...you're right, sorry..."

Lilia reacted suddenly, gritted her teeth, and realized that the situation was indeed as Wei Lisi said.

He had only known each other for less than a month, but he didn't know when he had become quite trusting and dependent on this teacher and guard who became a monk halfway through. This was not a good sign.

Although Wei Lisi's words sounded a bit cold and heartless, Lilia knew that the other party was actually thinking of her anyway.

"Let's put it this way, does Your Highness still remember the magicians who appeared on the enemy side in the battle when some of the imperial guards mutinied?"

Hua's voice sounded again, and she seemed to have finally considered how to explain it.

Hearing this, Lilia finally understood.

"You mean, undead?"

"Yes... and no."

Confusion and solemnity flashed in Miss Hua's eyes, she paused, and explained seriously: "Ordinary undead is just the caster manipulating the corpse to fight. It is difficult to preserve the corpse for a long time, and it has no self and intelligence. Relying on instinct, It is a kind of superficial application of undead magic to preserve at most about half of the strength in life."

"But a few years ago, I witnessed another kind of undead magic that was even more weird, or profound."

"It can transform the body of a living person into an immortal corpse, fix it at the moment of death, and retain all wisdom, memory and fighting skills. Although the strength can never be improved, it can greatly extend the lifespan, and it will no longer be affected by A series of desires such as the diet and sleep of the living are affected, and they become the so-called living dead.”
