Chapter 36 36.Plan D

While Murphy returned to Cadman City with the loot and survivors, the subsequent waves caused by the successful blocking operation were subtly changing many things.

In the pioneer fortress in the East Prussia region adjacent to Transia, a commander wearing a Major's uniform from the Plantagenet Kingdom quickly walked to the frontline commander's office. He held a document in his hand and stretched out his hand to straighten himself.

's demeanor.

After confirming that everything was okay, he reached out and knocked on the closed door.

This is not only due to good education and personal manners and habits, but also because the General Loren that the major is going to meet is a commander who is strict with all matters.

It ranges from the post-war summary of each military operation, to the patrolling of the military police's duty routes in the fortress, to even small things like arranging the seats for the occasional school dinners.

If the commanders and even the top soldiers of the pioneering legion do not want to be scolded or punished by the stern general, then doing the best in everything they are responsible for is undoubtedly the correct work attitude.

General Loren has a famous saying, "Death always favors those who are loyal to their duties." This gives us a glimpse of the general's character.

"Come in!"

A low voice sounded from the office.

The major pushed open the door and saluted the general who was sitting behind his desk looking down at the map, and reported loudly:

"Report to the general! The frontline special service report has arrived, and there is an encrypted message in it that you need to read immediately!"

After speaking, the major lowered his voice again and said:

"The content is about that batch of 'goods'."

"Um?"

The general who was looking at the military map raised his head when he heard this, revealing a face in his prime with clear outlines.

He can't be said to be handsome, but his sharp facial features, a classic Chinese character face, and his well-kept beard make him look tough, old-school, and stern.

He threw away the drawing pen in his hand, touched his most proud beard, jumped down from his chair, then straightened his general collar badge, and strode to the major.

Finally, the general raised his head and looked at him.

Well, everyone rumored that General Loren Frederick had courage and strength that did not match his height. These words were not entirely flattering and complimentary.

It is actually a statement.

General of the Plantagenet Kingdom, the most trusted commander of King Louis, a rising star of war from the Old Guards, the absolute pride of the Greene Army, who single-handedly built the skeleton of the Pioneer Army from scratch during the Ten Years' War.

General Loren, who integrated his training into the largest legion in the kingdom, is a half-dwarf!

He is half silver dwarf.

As a result, although the general's height stands out among the dwarves, he is still an out-and-out dwarf compared to the 1.93 meter major.

But no one will underestimate General Loren!

Just like no one dares to underestimate the deadly ax wielded by the dwarves on the battlefield.

Those guys who dared to speak rudely to him about his height will most likely not live to see the sun the next day. In addition, there is an unwritten rule in the pioneering legion. The entire legion will follow it in formal affairs and private conversations.

Try to avoid saying the word "short".

Please note that this is not a request!

Although the general announced in front of all the soldiers on the first day he formed the army that he did not care about the soldiers discussing his height, the half-dwarf blood in General Loren's body was always quietly and stubbornly taking effect.

As we all know, the image of dwarves on the mainland is famous for being petty.

In the third month of the founding of the army, after a brave alternate captain was thrown into the front line because he was drunk and insulted the enemy like a dwarf mouse and lacked courage, everyone understood where the general's bottom line was.

Although the candidate captain was lucky enough to survive four hardships and successfully promoted to colonel, it must be said that this is still a sad story.

Currently in the office, General Loren put his hands behind his back, looking up and staring at the major in front of him who was very tall, which made him unhappy, but he was extremely capable and had a very strong background. The latter maintained his military posture and looked straight ahead without any disrespect.

To a place where he can find fault.

Therefore, General Loren asked in a deep voice:

"What happened to my cargo? According to the schedule, it should have arrived in the Under Armor Hills area by now."

"The transport team was ambushed, Your Excellency General."

The major quickly walked to the military map of Transia on the wall, picked up a red thumbtack and nailed it accurately next to the filthy swamp.

He pointed there and said to the frowning general:

"It happened last night, at about 21 o'clock, sixty elite Blood Vulture Midnight Hunters and their armed blood servants launched an attack on the transport convoy that had just left the filthy swamp. The psionicist in charge of the convoy made a determined decision.

resisted and asked the warriors of the Wolfsbane clan to protect the goods and leave first.

But the cunning vampires arranged an interception in advance at the end of the smuggler's woodland. Our brave soldiers finally failed and the goods were confirmed to be lost."

"Then how did this news come back?"

General Loren did not dwell on the fact that the things he spent a lot of money to purchase were robbed. Instead, he asked:

"So the convoy was not completely wiped out? If any of them survived, why did they only provide me with such a bad report? Who was the enemy commander responsible for the interception operation? Who was the last vampire who came into contact with the cargo?

The most important thing is the battle process?

Did you just use the words "resolutely resist" and get it fooled?

The number of escorts in that convoy alone reached 240!

They are all veterans who have participated in more than three wars. I also specially sent the outstanding witch hunters of the White Oak Chapter to assist in defense, and the high-level psionicists of the Tower of Rings as spell power.

Such a force can fight against 1,000 armed blood servants on the battlefield! But it can't even stop 60 vampires?

There must be something wrong with the command!

The commander of the convoy had better die in battle, otherwise I will definitely send him to a military court!"

"Regarding this matter"

The major was used to the general's strictness in these details. He glanced at the document in his hand and reported:

"Only three psionicists survived in the convoy, and all the remaining warriors died in the battle. However, they eliminated all the invading vampires and blood servants. This was confirmed by Lord Finok, the leader of the White Oak Chapter who came to support at the last moment.

Except for the commander, all members of the enemy are dead, and it can be confirmed that those who attacked us were the most elite Midnight Hunters of the Blood Vulture Clan."

"Annihilating 60 Midnight Hunters at once? Is it equivalent to killing two of Sarokdar's elite night stormtroopers in one battle? Good!"

The general raised his eyebrows, nodded and said:

"As expected of my soldiers! Well done!

Write down the names of these soldiers, report them to the military with military merit, and apply for 'warrior' pensions for their families. If their children want to join the army, they will be sent to Chungji Academy, and then apply to their families in the name of the Pioneer Corps.

An additional death benefit of three months' military pay will be provided.

I will contribute 90%, and all commanders of the direct troops will contribute 10%.

You do this yourself.

In addition, why did old Finock appear in the Filth Swamp? Shouldn't he be commanding his witch hunters to conduct tactical interceptions along the line from the Under Armor Hills to Cadman City?"

"It's because of rescuing prisoners, General. In a previous contact in the village of Moreland, several veteran witch hunters were captured by vampires. Lord Finock went to rescue them."

The major immediately explained:

"According to the information sent back by Mr. Finock, the vampires' ambush was discovered by the convoy in advance precisely because these prisoners broke free from the restraints in the face of death and risked their lives to ignite the vampires' rear camp. It was the fire that provided the convoy with

Providing warnings prevented them from being secretly attacked.

The surviving psionic masters emphasized in their reports that the attack was due to the leakage of information, and the vampires were able to accurately block the time and route of the transport team.

This proves that there are spies within the Pioneer Legion.

After evaluation by the staff department, we believe that this hidden danger does exist, General."

"We are fighting on the territory of vampires. The Blood Vulture Clan has been entrenched in Transia for more than 400 years. Isn't it normal to cultivate some human traitors?"

General Loren waved his hand indifferently and said:

"Sniffing out and executing traitors is not a problem that we frontline soldiers need to consider. The Military Justice Department will take over the next thing. Did their report mention the final whereabouts of the goods?"

"No, General, Lord Finock is currently escorting seven wounded people back to the East Prussia area. The White Oak Chapter's tactical interdiction and reconnaissance have also been completed."

The major replied:

"The Witch Hunters suffered a bit of a heavy loss, but if you must recover the goods, I believe they are still willing to risk another pursuit. It is a three-day journey from the Filthy Swamp to Cadman City. With the speed of the Witch Hunters, they can

Hurry up."

"No, give up."

General Loren thought for a while, shook his head decisively and said:

"In the past, I would have never suffered this loss, but now the situation has changed. Frasier, if I remember correctly, you have been on the front line for three years. Are you homesick?

Do you miss your fiancée you have never met?"

The general's sudden change of question stunned the major for a moment.

It was rare for him to see a general talk about his personal life in the military camp. After thinking for a second, he answered:

"It is my duty, General, to serve in the victory of King Louis and the glory of Plantagenet, and my family supports me, therefore."
