Chapter 834 Evacuation on Frozen Ground (2)
Two days later.
Inside the frontline camp, in the largest room.
Bearman Besson sat there carelessly.
In his hand, he was holding a large stone.
Just this morning.
They also discovered the mining field near the human camp.
Although there was no one in the mining field.
But they found a lot of stones like this in it.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that there are also a lot of stones like this in the warehouse of this frontline camp.
He weighed the big stone in his hand.
Besson was a little bored and threw the stone away.
With a muffled sound, the stone fell to the ground.
Cassin's eyelids, who were standing beside him, jumped.
Then, I heard Besen's sound like a bell echoing in the room.
"It's just a broken stone no matter how you look at it, what's the use?"
For Besson's remarks, Cassin felt a little disapproving in his heart.
And the mouth is not in a hurry to say...
"Lord Besson, I don't think humans should be bored and do meaningless things."
"Since they are digging these stones on a large scale and even hoarding them, it means that these stones must have some use."
"It's just that we don't know this kind of use yet."
"This kind of thing, just go back and grab a human to come and ask."
Besson nodded when he heard this.
"Yes, then keep it for now."
Speaking of which, Besson, who seemed to remember something again, spoke again...
"By the way, Cassin, how is the job that was handed to you before?"
"Lord Besson, the foxmen I sent have followed the trails along the way to roughly confirm the position of the group of humans. According to my estimation, they should be moving towards the next camp."
From the frontline camp, a large amount of food is regularly delivered.
This point, their fox people obviously know.
Cassin deduced from it that there are other human camps, and it is not difficult.
But when Besson heard this, he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
"It's almost time to rest, bring food, and we will officially set off tomorrow morning!"
Obviously, Besson, who has broken through a camp, already has a number on the strength of human beings.
So he didn't put his eyes on the next camp at all.
At the same time, on the other side, with the moving efficiency of the sled.
After a long journey for several days.
Hill and the others finally arrived at the outpost camp.
What happened in the frontline camp happened too suddenly.
As a result, the troops stationed in the sentry camp did not receive any notification at all.
After seeing basically all the wounded frontline troops outside.
The members of the garrisoned troops all looked a little confused.
Then after confirming the identity, quickly open the entrance and let Hill and the others come in.
A group of people rushed into the camp quickly.
Unlike the relieved soldiers and workers.
The first thing Hill did was to quickly find the general stationed in this outpost camp and asked to write an emergency report.
In the frontline camp before, in order to evacuate as soon as possible, it can be said that they did not even have time to write a report.
And after fleeing, there were no carrier pigeons, she wrote a report, and she couldn't send it out.
Now is the last chance.
A flying pigeon biography flew out directly from the outpost camp and flew towards the Mirror City far away in the Central Plains.
After sending out the flying pigeon biography, Hill, who was slightly relieved, began to explain the situation to the generals stationed here.
Although there was a vague expectation in my heart.
But when he heard the news that the orc troops attacked and the frontline camp had been breached.
The heart of the garrison general was still uncontrollably thumping.
"Your Majesty's side, I have already explained it in detail in the letter. The strength of the troops in the sentry camp alone cannot stop the orcs. I also ask the general to quickly send a letter and request the nearest White River City to send troops for support!"
After hearing this, the garrison general did not do what he thought.
Another letter was sent quickly.
After doing all this, everyone began to confirm the deployment of troops in the sentry camp.
Not much to say actually.
It's just a transit station after all.
Under normal circumstances, there is a frontline camp in front of it.
In the outpost camp at the back, naturally there is no need to deploy too many troops.
So the total strength here is only 500.
It is absolutely not enough!
However, this camp has an advantage that the front-line camp does not have.
That is the geographical advantage!
This section of the road from the Northland Mountains to the Bitter Cold Land.
It is a narrow canyon.
The outpost camp is in the depths of this canyon.
To increase the defense of this camp.
The goblin craftsmen also deliberately carved a passageway on the walls of the canyons on both sides.
Archers, crossbowmen, and even three-bow crossbows can be placed on the mountain walls to snipe the enemies who pour in from outside.
This geographical advantage is destined to be difficult for the army to enter.
It is almost a natural fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
However, considering the limited number of troops.
Wanting to repel the army of orcs is still a fool's dream.
But if you stick around for a while, it should be fine.
The order was issued, and the entire sentry fortress quickly entered the first-level alert state!
The defense weapons on the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon began to be arranged and supplemented.
The strength of night patrols, guards, and peripheral reconnaissance has doubled directly.
It's a stance like a formidable enemy.
Two days passed after that.
The carrier pigeons flying to Baihe City will undoubtedly arrive faster.
The letter for help from the sentry camp was sent directly to Zhao Pan.
After a quick read of the content.
Zhao Pan's face sank...
"The orc troops attacked, and the frontline camp fell. This is a letter of help asking me to send troops to support."
Hearing this, Lieutenant General Liu Tao's expression suddenly changed.
"General, then go and gather your troops here!?"
Zhao Pan, who heard this, did not rush to allow it.
Instead, he focused his attention on the signature at the end of the letter.
A normal letter usually only has the name of the writer, plus a public or private seal.
At the bottom of this letter, there are three signatures of the general of the sentry camp, the general in charge of the frontline camp, Jiang Yan, and Hill.
Among them, the first two signatures are stamped with seals.
This proves the urgency and authenticity of this letter of help.
After confirming the signature and seal, Zhao Pan, who thought for a while, nodded.
"Well, let's go."
Obviously, he is planning to send troops to support.
At the same time that he motioned Liu Tao to gather his troops.
He took another piece of brand new letter paper and started writing letters.
This letter was sent to Mingjing City to report the situation to Luo Ji.
I have to say that Zhao Pan's character is really cautious and calm to the extreme!
The update is sent, thanks to the book friend 'lord king' for the reward and the monthly pass of the book friend 'Seems' and 'Looking to the End of the World'!
