Not long ago, the garrison of Thor ’s Fortress issued a task called "intelligence gathering" at the mercenary guild, which became a topic of discussion for mercenaries. The task of "intelligence gathering" is an open one. It does not specify what kind of intelligence is required, nor does it give detailed information about how much intelligence is paid, but just roughly collects all items north of the Thor Fortress. Intelligence, as long as it is the first to be provided and finally verified, can pay gold coins according to the importance of intelligence.

At the beginning, those mercenaries did not pay attention to it at all, because this open task is difficult to define specific remuneration. If the employer is stingy, even if the mercenary who completes the task fights for his life, what is really important According to his intelligence, he can also send it with only one copper coin without violating any regulations.

In many cases, a turning point happens because of an accident. The open task of "intelligence gathering" from unattended to full deployment also stems from an unlucky mercenary. This unlucky mercenary was drinking gambling money with others in the bar. His luck was indeed bad. He soon lost all his money and owed a foreign debt. With nowhere to go, this guy had no choice but to go. The Mercenary Guild hopes to complete one or two tasks and get some remuneration.

That was the second day of the release of the "intelligence gathering" mission. This unlucky mercenary has only one person, and is basically unlikely to complete other tasks that require a lot of manpower, such as transporting supplies and so on. So with the idea of ​​luck, he took on this open task with few restrictions. After eating the cheapest potato ragout breakfast he had bought on credit, the mercenary plucked up the courage and entered the North Taryn prairie through the hanging basket on the wall of the Thor Fortress.

The gate on the wall of Thor ’s Fortress is generally not open until the critical moment. If someone wants to enter the North Taryn Prairie, most of them will use a pulley to set up a hanging basket on the city wall, twist the rope with a wand, and sit The people in the gondola went down the city wall.

Although the mercenary had bad luck, his professional ethics was quite good. He spent most of the day carefully recording the terrain within about three kilometers north of the Thor Fortress, and then returned to the Thor fortress in the evening. , And handed over these things to the mercenary guild, which was then transferred to the garrison of the Thor fortress.

One day later, the mercenary was rewarded: 500 shiny gold coins. This unlucky or lucky guy took this large sum of money to pay off his gambling debts, and also showed off his invitation to drink with his companion. After getting drunk, he told him that he was rich. through.

This matter spreads ten times and ten times, and that night it spread to the No. 2 camp of Thor Fortress. Of course, this is inevitable for some people. When the sun rose the next day, more than one hundred mercenaries flooded into the mercenary guild, took the open mission together, and then used the hanging baskets on the city walls in batches to enter the North Taryn prairie .

In fact, the first mercenary who received the reward, the topographic map he drew was not worth a copper coin at all. Even if Genenst closed his eyes, he could easily draw a topographic map about 30 kilometers north of the Thor Fortress. That was the result of the constant efforts of the Thor Garrison Garrison in the past ten years. Unfortunately, humans did not pay much attention to the orc ’s dynamics in the past, and paid little attention to this aspect, and now the orcs have strengthened the blockade, so General Keynst always has Less than 40 kilometers north of Thor ’s Fortress, the real focus of this “information gathering” mission is over there, and the reward that the mercenary received was nothing more than that General Keenster used to stimulate other mercenaries. Bait.

In front of the generous rewards, the mercenaries heading north sent back all kinds of information, and General Keenster didn't look at the information, whether he used it or not, and left it all in the fireplace. But every mercenary who provided intelligence was paid a certain amount. The quartermaster directly pays according to the thickness of the intelligence, more for the thicker, about hundreds of gold coins, and at least a dozen gold coins.

Stimulated by money, the mercenary's footsteps went further and further, and finally reached thirty kilometers north of the Thor Fortress, which was the first blockade line arranged by the orcs. On a sunny and beautiful afternoon, a dozen or so mercenaries called the "power" mercenary regiment inevitably encountered the Wolf Cavalry Squadron patrolled by orcs.

The **** battle began.

In this kind of head-to-head confrontation, the walking mercenaries simply cannot be the opponents of the trained orc wolf cavalry, not to mention that these more than ten mercenaries faced more than ten times the number of enemies. The battle soon turned into a one-sided slaughter. This group of mercenaries killed seven or eight enemies, and finally the whole army was wiped out.

The war quickly spread, more mercenaries also entered the footsteps of the strength mercenary regiment, human mercenaries lost a lot, and the intelligence sent back in those days was reduced by 80%.

However, mercenaries also have their own countermeasures. Since they cannot be confronted on the front, then make full use of the characteristics of the mercenary ’s own small team, reduce it to zero, avoid the wolf cavalry patrolled by the orcs, and go deeper than thirty north of the Thor Fortress. Km area.

So after a few days of silence, General Keenster was once again filled with all kinds of intelligence, and these contents and the information previously obtained by General Keenster were mutually confirmed, and suddenly filled up many of the previous intelligence collection work. blank.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Soon, the orcs became aware of the human mercenaries. They adopted stricter measures and increased the density of inspections. They also deliberately placed many traps, ambushing soldiers, and killing human secrets. The sneaking mercenary. .Mobile phone watch

Infiltration and reverse osmosis, between humans and orcs, blood beasts and thunder **** fortress, a thrilling battle is staged every day. This performance may be the victory of human mercenaries, they cleverly deceived the orcs ’scouts, After infiltrating the opponent's territory, the next game is likely to be more orcs of wolf cavalry surrounding these successfully infiltrated mercenaries in a certain range, and then slowly compressing their activity space, and finally wiped out in one fell swoop.

The most disadvantaged mercenaries are in the vast prairie, it is difficult to hide their whereabouts. Humans and orcs are two completely different races. Whether in appearance or language, they have nothing in common. The war of two hundred years ago caused the two sides to be in absolute opposition. It is impossible for them to get close to their opponents. And it ’s just spring. The grasslands are full of life but the water plants are growing. It is impossible to have dense bushes to hide the mercenaries. Once they are noticed by the enemy, they are followed by ten times as many wolf cavalry. .

The walking mercenaries on the vast grassland can't compete with the wolf cavalry with good mechanical power and impact. Once they fall into the orc's encirclement, it means stepping into the arms of death. No matter how good the mercenary and tacit cooperation is, it can only extend the lives of a few days, and it will only last for a long time.

After the three mercenary regiments with more than 500 people announced that they would abandon the mission, the task of "gathering intelligence" once again left the mercenaries' vision and was shelved by the mercenary guild. General Keenst smiled bitterly at the loss record in front of him. In just seventeen days, human mercenaries lost nearly three hundred people, and their footprints have never been able to step within ten kilometers of the Beastblood Castle. There is no way to provide yourself with the dynamics of the orc ’s main army.

General Keenst couldn't help but feel fortunate that he was able to stay in danger in the Thor Fortress, and if his army was on the prairie without defense facilities, it would have been defeated long ago. Without the intelligence of the enemy, there is no way to curb the motivation of the opponent's wolf cavalry. His army is completely passively beaten.

Thor ’s fortress is not without cavalry, but General Keenst did not dare to use it easily.

There are a total of 200,000 elite troops in Thor Fortress, of which there are only 10,000 cavalry, and they are all heavy knights who are heading forward. It is impossible to take it with the opponent ’s scouts. If General Keenster really did that , The happiest is the commander of the orc army, even if the five orc wolf cavalry change a human reload knight, the orc readily agrees, but humans can not withstand such a large loss, because once the fortress of Thor loses this 10,000 weight Acting as a cavalry, the orcs no longer have to worry about human assaults and counterattacks. Whether attacking or retreating, they have no worries.

In addition to the 10,000 knights, Thor ’s Fortress, bow and arrow archers 40,000, and infantry 150,000, if General Keenster ’s army fought against the orcs on the vast prairie, they would inevitably fall into an unstoppable and unstoppable situation. Passively beaten.

Since ancient times, in the prairie, the cavalry can completely use the power to defeat one enemy, and if the infantry wants to gain the upper hand, they must rely on several times or even ten times the military power, cannibalizing the place where the opponent may supply, and forcing the enemy and their main force. decisive battle. But if the orcs would rather give up the land and avoid fighting, the final result of the human army is to eat the last food and retreat in vain. At that time, it is the best opportunity for the orcs to fight back.

Therefore, General Keenst has always admired Fernando I's courage, and on the premise that the mainland is a waste of life, he even built the Thor fortress with the power of the country to avoid wrestling with the orcs on the prairie. Use this sturdy fortress to block the footsteps of the orcs south, and force the orcs to give up their advantages and fight against humans under the walls of the Thor fortress.

Now, General Keenster can only hope that the reinforcements of the Imperial City can arrive earlier, and he has sent five letters for assistance. In the most recent letter, General Keenst elaborated on the strengths and weaknesses of the Thor Garrison garrison, hoping to receive support from the Imperial Royal Knights.

It ’s a pity that these letters were silent after they arrived at the Imperial Capital, which made General Keenster anxious, but there was no way. After all, he did n’t even know where the main army of his opponent was stationed. It was three months after the emergency messenger was sent. I haven't seen any orcish army reach the Thor Fortress. If the Emperor Capital reinforcements arrived, General Keenster still didn't know how to explain everything to them.

Perhaps the only thing you can do now is to wait patiently? Whether it is the reinforcements of the imperial capital or the armies of the orcs, they should always come.
