Alien Knights

Facing the chaos in the camp, the knight walked to Cumberland's side and recounted to Cumberland exactly what had happened on the front line.

Cumberland shook his head helplessly while listening.

After listening, he turned to his subordinate and said, "I understand, go down."

After retreating to the seat at the top of the tent, Cumberland slowly sat down, his face full of grooves showing a bit of fatigue.

At this moment, the orc shaman roared and suggested: "We should march forward! Instead of waiting here!"

The elf shaman sneered: "March? Where to march? There may be enemy troops everywhere in front."

The orc shaman opened his mouth, and the smell from his mouth made the elf shaman take a few steps back with his eyes closed.

"Unlike you cowards! Every one of my tribe is the bravest warrior! We are willing to rush to the front, just to realize the glory of the Dragon God!"

The Elf Shaman waved his sleeves and said disdainfully: "Use your brain more! Also, shut your mouth!"

The orc shaman rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the elf shaman: "What did you say?!"

"enough!"

Cumberland rose from his chair and roared.

"In the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom's Expeditionary Force, I give an order! No one is allowed to act rashly until the enemy's defenses have been found out!"

Looking at the expressions of everyone in the camp, Cumberland added another sentence: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can complain to the head of the shaman, Ms. Minnie! If you are still dissatisfied, you can go to your dragon God complains!"

"End of the meeting!"

After everyone in the camp dispersed, Ackerman walked up to Cumberland and whispered apologetically: "Sir, forgive me, I can't speak at all in the shaman gathering. "

Cumberland nodded: "I understand, I don't blame you. When will Ms. Minnie come back?"

"About three days."

Ackerman sighed: "Then again, it's not an option for us to wait here all the time."

Cumberland walked to the combat sand table, looked at the large forest in front of him, and said to Ackerman: "All of your scouts, I heard that most of them have night vision, eagle eye and clairvoyance abilities."

Ackerman explained: "Werewolf scouts have night vision and far-hearing abilities, lizard scouts have heat sensing and mimicry abilities, and harpy scouts have eagle eyes and perspective abilities. With the addition of dragon bone armor, they can Sharing intelligence with each other through hive neural networks.”

"Normally, a scout team will include three people to deal with different battle situations."

Cumberland put his hands on the edge of the sand table: "I need such scout teams, the more the better. Let them explore from the edge of the forest after dark and figure out everything there."

Ackerman said with some uncertainty: "You mean to find out the defenses in the forest bit by bit? This will consume a lot of manpower and time..."

"This is the only stupid method that can work at the moment. At least it's better than running into it like a blind man."

After Ackerman pondered for a moment, he said to Cumberland: "I understand. I will then arrange the waiting team and let them start conducting reconnaissance missions in different areas."

Randall, who had been waiting in the corner for Ackerman to leave the camp, walked up to Cumberland and said, "Sir, if possible, we also hope to join your reconnaissance mission."

"You?" Cumberland looked at the six people in front of him with a suspicious look on his face: "You are not soldiers. Without special training, going to the battlefield means you will die."

Before Randall could speak, Barbara protested: "Randall participated in the defense of Twilight City seven years ago, and almost died in Lone Rock City."

Cumberland said slowly: "When you said that, I was somewhat impressed."

"Mr. Cumberland, in my team, there is a werewolf and a lizardman. They are both experts in reconnaissance. The two of them and I can form a scout team to assist the army in reconnaissance."

Barbara reacted: "Wait, you mean I can't go with you?"

Cumberland showed approval: "This arrangement is more reasonable. I will assign the investigation tasks to the three of you. As for the others, please stay in the military camp and wait for news."

Randall gave a military salute and nodded gratefully.

"You can ask Ackerman for weapons, supplies, keels, and mission details. Now, go down."

After bidding farewell to Cumberland, Randall rushed to the Crusaders' camp with his companions.

After enduring the strange stares along the way, Barbara complained: "Why don't you let me go with you? I can help."

Randall smiled and didn't answer.

Finding Ackerman who was busy holding a combat meeting in the Crusaders' camp, Randall explained his purpose to him.

"You want to assist in the reconnaissance mission, which is really good news for me." Ackerman, who was very busy, said distressedly: "The forest in front of us is as boundless as the sea. I can use what I have on hand to There are far from enough soldiers performing scouting missions."

Aldenan looked at the Crusaders commanders attending the combat meeting and asked strangely: "Why are the harpies not here? They have eagle eyes and clairvoyance, and can fly. They should be the best candidates."

Ackerman said: "Just a week ago, the harpy species approached the forest and encountered a fierce enemy musket attack. They suffered a lot of casualties, so they had to be withdrawn from the mission sequence."

Seeing that the other party still didn't quite understand, Ackerman explained: "The canopy of the forest is too dense. The harpies flying in the sky cannot completely penetrate the leaves with their perspective powers. Therefore, in order to obtain a clearer vision, , they had to lose altitude, which gave the enemy an opportunity to attack."

Ackerman looked back at the soldiers attending the meeting and said: "The only soldiers who can take on the reconnaissance mission this time are werewolves, lizardmen, dark elves and some other small species."

"We're ready to go," Randall told Ackerman.

The latter nodded, said a few words to his adjutant, and personally led Randall and his party to the armory.

As soon as I walked into the door of the warehouse, a fishy and pungent smell hit my face.

Looking at the spherical creatures floating in the huge blood-red pond in front of him, Randall asked: "Are these... all spore parasites?"

Ackerman said without looking back: "This is just the No. 1 spore pool. There are two identical breeding pools in the other two directions."

"In the past, we had to use refrigeration to transport the spores. Thanks to the research results of Muxi scholars, we can now propagate this bug on the spot in the military camp."

After passing three sentries, Ackerman led Randall and others into a huge warehouse.

Thousands of towering glass culture tanks are neatly placed side by side. The roar of machines and the flow of liquid make people have to raise their voices when talking.

Ackerman shouted to Randall: "You should be familiar with the things here."

Looking at the huge parasite floating in the culture tank, Randall murmured: "Dragon bone."

"The keels here have all been strengthened by the tyrant, and are loaded with the hive insect body module and the violent insect body module."

Barbara looked at the twisted and shaking parasite in the glass, and said with a look of disgust: "You need to wear this when performing a mission?"

Randall touched the glass gently with his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't worn these armors for a long time."

Aldenan scratched the back of his head and asked the lizard man Kellogg: "I heard that the process of wearing this thing is very painful?"

Kellogg closed his claws and said piously: "Consider this pain as a gift from the Dragon God."
