Chapter 36 The troops were divided into two groups.
"Baron Monterey, our mission is to meet up with Viscount Ome, and then go directly to Yorkshire in the northeast.
Now Viscount Ome and his private army are missing. They may have been attacked by the orc army." Trapped, I suggest that we divide our troops into two groups to search.
Our unit, which has mostly infantry and is marching slowly, will take the southern foothills of the Iles Mountains. You, with all its cavalry, will march fast and march along the northern foothills of the Iles Mountains, nearby. The search is done.
If any of us find Viscount Ome, and if there is a chance, we can directly cooperate with Viscount Ome inside and outside to break through the orc siege.
If we find traces of Viscount Ome, but are not strong enough to rescue the siege on our own, we can make an agreement. In four days, we will meet at Tianxing Peak on the east side of the Iles Mountains and then make plans.
I wonder what Baron Monterey wants?" Viscount Verin said while holding a map of Shanlin County and pointing to the area near the Iles Mountains. .
Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but roll his eyes. As Viscount Verin said, this Viscount Ome must be saved, but Viscount Verin obviously regarded himself as the one who was taken advantage of.
The overall strength of Monterey's private army is much weaker than that of the Weilin family's private army.
If they acted separately, even if Li Wei found Viscount Ome alone, he would probably have to send someone to rescue him, and then the benefits of profit sharing would be greatly reduced.
And if Viscount Verin met Viscount Ome alone, he would have a high chance of reaping the benefits alone. By then, Viscount Verin might be able to board the Marquis of Ashan's ship as a matter of course.
But Viscount Verin's allocation model does make sense. Li Wei is a cavalryman and can move quickly. It is most appropriate for him to go to the northern foot of the Iles Mountains.
Moreover, Li Wei no longer wants to go with this so-called "friendly army". If two groups of people with different intentions come together, the effect will definitely be 1+1 less than 1.
Of course, Levi would not agree so easily. Since the other party wanted to take advantage, there was no way he could get some blood.
"Viscount Verin, your plan is not impossible, but you have also seen that during this period, our troops have had repeated encounters with small groups of orcs, and the losses of war horses have been a bit heavy.
I hope to get 40 ordinary war horses and 10 high-class war horses. Waiting for the war horses to supplement, otherwise, it will be difficult for my cavalry to carry out operations alone."
Upon hearing Li Wei's sky-high price offer, Viscount Weilin's face was distorted, these war horses even in normal times It's worth at least 2,000 gold coins, not to mention on the battlefield, even if it's doubled, it's a reasonable price.
An ordinary baron, excluding all expenses, would only be able to save 1,000 gold coins a year. Li Wei was just talking too much.
So after some fierce bargaining, Li Wei's conditions were finally cut off, and Viscount Verin finally compensated Li Wei with 20 ordinary horses and 5 superior horses.
Finally, under the gloomy gaze of Viscount Verin, Li Wei hummed a little tune and led the obviously larger team to the northwest, heading towards the northern foot of the Iles Mountains.
"Hmph~ Levi Monterey, sooner or later, I'm going to make you look good!
Let's go, the whole army will head west, aiming at the southern foot of the Iles Mountains, and set off!"
The Welin family's private army totaled a thousand cavalry. Marching westward in a mighty manner.
——Two
days later, Levi had been searching at the northern foot of the Iles Mountains for almost a day, but they could not find any clues.
"Lord Baron, that Thor Welin is really nothing. He asked us to come to the northern foot of the Iles Mountains, but he was eating alone at the southern foot!" Harland, who had long lost his patience, couldn't help complaining.
"Don't worry, I'm not sure where Viscount Ome is. Maybe he got out of trouble on his own.
And if Viscount Ome is really surrounded by the orc army, it's still unknown whether we can rescue him. Maybe even if we do We have found Viscount Ome, and we are not sure about joining forces with Viscount Verin.
At least we have obtained so many war horses, and we have a guaranteed harvest. Then Viscount Verin might have paralyzed the boss's efforts and ended up working in vain. "
That's right." Harland responded angrily. Obviously, he still felt unhappy. At this time, Fat Zi floating in the sky suddenly sent a message to Li Wei through the Void Spiritual Contract.
Ever since he parted ways with Viscount Weilin, Li Wei had released Fat Zi openly and let him fly to an altitude of 500 meters as a warning.
The last time Fat Zi broke through to level five, he gained a very practical ability - vision sharing. Levi could now use the fat purple eyes as his own, overlooking a large area.
Fat Zi sent Levi a somewhat blurry picture, and he could barely tell that it was a group of orcs chasing a human woman ten kilometers away.
Looking at the size of the orc pursuers, they were all obviously above the third level, and there were even three or four particularly strong wild boars. Levi suspected that they might be fourth-level orcs.
The human woman seemed to be a spell caster, and she was very powerful. She could fight back from time to time during the chase.
Intuition told Levi that this human woman might be related to Viscount Ome. After all, the troops were in a panic and no one would be bored and go to a place like this.
——At
this time, ten kilometers away, Flora on horseback had long lost her former liveliness and agility, like a withered cherry blossom, reaching the edge of running out of oil.
A month ago, the apple of Marquis Ashan's eye came to the territory of her brother-in-law, Viscount Ome, for some reason. This time she was preparing to return to Snow Dragon Fortress with Viscount Ome.
But whether it was because of the leak of the news or other reasons, Viscount Ome and his private army were trapped in the Elais Mountains by a large group of orcs.
After being trapped for several days, Viscount Omei used nearly a hundred soldiers to cover Flora's breakout, hoping that Flora could bring back reinforcements to rescue the trapped Viscount Omei.
Flora managed to break out of the encirclement under the cover of her brother-in-law, Viscount Ome, but there was always a group of elite orcs behind her that clung to her like candy, and she couldn't get rid of them at all.
The three leading fourth-level wild boars at the rear couldn't help but smile ferociously.
The little witch in front of her had an extraordinary status. Not only was she a fourth-level wizard at a young age, she actually took out two sixth-level witchcraft scrolls and several fifth-level witchcraft scrolls when the two armies were fighting.
Several adults in the camp had already issued death orders, and they must capture this unidentified human witch alive!
This team of orcs had actually been able to capture the human witch in front of them a long time ago, but in order to gain the appreciation of the big shots above, they wanted to capture the little witch alive with all her beard and tail.
So this extremely elite team of orcs kept hanging Flora, trying to completely exhaust her physical strength and magic power.
Looking at the approaching pursuers, Flora summoned her last bit of mana and tried to cast an acid mist spell to delay the enemy.
"Humph~" Flora groaned, a trace of bright red spilled from the corner of her mouth, and she lay weakly on the horse. She couldn't even cast a second-level witchcraft as her mana and mental power had bottomed out.
"Hahaha, little girl, stop struggling, you can't run away, why bother to suffer? Stop and surrender, and follow me back to the camp. My leader will definitely not treat you harshly."
The orc was saying As they laughed wildly, a rain of arrows instantly covered the orc team like a dark cloud.
"careful!"
