Lord Harland
Chapter 69 Defense of Vicksburg 5
“Let these prisoners serve as translators and help interrogate the captured sheep-headed men.
Dida soon selected a few smart people from the rescued people.
Being rescued by humans, even though they were not their own lords, these people all felt like they were surviving a disaster.
One of the old captives seemed to have an unusual temperament. Through conversation, Richard knew that this person was a low-ranking official of the Duke of Jonathan.
"What's your name? Do you have noble blood?"
"My name is Bernard. I am a distant relative of Baron Luca. I work as a tax collector at the Chateau de la Chateau."
"How many years have you lived in the Orc Empire?"
"It's been thirteen years."
"How is your life in the Orc Empire?"
"That's a frightening memory, sir!
This time, the Shamok Brigade took a detour and crossed the Eagle Mountains. When they ran out of food, they began to eat people. Many of our companions were eaten by the orcs.
Foxmen and Goatmen are slightly better, Lionmen are cruel, Werewolves are bloodthirsty, and Pigmen are savage.
We spend every day in the Orc Empire, our hearts feel like being cut by a knife, and we are always in fear of being eaten. "
As he spoke, Bernard actually started crying.
They have been captured by orcs for many years, and their lives have been precarious. They have even become food for the orcs. The heavy pressure has made their lives seem like years. I was rescued by Richard today and was in a safe situation, so I couldn't help but cry and vent my tears.
"My condolences! Mr. Bernard, the situation is very urgent now. This is not the time to cry. Why are you guys following the sheep-headed people?"
"The Shamok Brigade has a long detour this time, so it is difficult to carry too much food. I heard that Captain Maruland made a suggestion to let humans transport the food. When the food is not enough, they can eat people to supplement the military rations.
A few days after crossing the Eagle Mountains, a lot of our people were eaten by Shamok, especially women and children, half of whom were eaten by orcs. "
"This news is secret information in the orc army. How did you know?"
"In the fourth year after I was captured in the Orc Empire, I was sold to the fox tribe. I have been looking after the children of the fox nobles. This child is now the magician of Imsh Brigade, and it was he who told me the news."
"You have been in the orc empire for many years. Which race of orc language can you understand?"
"The language of the orcs is actually derived from the ancient northern language family of the Dawn Continent. After the wizard blood experiment, the vocal organs of the major orc races are different, forming different languages.
After the establishment of the Orc Empire, official scripts and official languages were vigorously promoted.
Nowadays, most of the middle and upper classes in the Orc Empire can speak the official language. However, the vocabulary of the official language is small, and when encountering complex vocabulary, the orcs will still speak their own language. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’
I have been in the Orc Empire for many years, and I can understand Vulpera, Goatman, Mandarin, and some Tauren language, and I know about half of the Orc language. "
Hearing that there are such talents among the rescuers of mankind, Richard said very happily: "You have noble blood, I should have given you freedom. But now is a state of war, and I need you to serve us.
Unfortunately, Mr. Bernard, you have been requisitioned. You won't be free until the war is over. "
"I understand your decision very well."
Bernard has been in the Orc Empire for many years. If he didn't understand current affairs, he wouldn't have survived that long.
Let Bernard act as a translator, and Dida led him to interrogate the orc captives.
Richard began to count the casualties.
"One of the Seventh Squadron was killed and three were injured."
"Two members of the 1st Squadron of Haaland Territory were killed and four were injured."
Richard nodded and said to the officer beside him: "Each of the two squadrons will dispatch three squads of soldiers to escort the prisoners back to Fort William, and at the same time transport the wounded back to the Bobi Brick Kiln.
The soldiers of these six squads are under the command of Hayden.
The rescued population was temporarily settled in reclamation camps. Now is the spring plowing season, let’s start the reclamation camp and don’t delay farming.
After the mission, we met with the main force in the woods six kilometers east of Vicksburg. "
The intelligence was soon interrogated. The main force of Shamok attacked Vicksburg, and two auxiliary squadrons wiped out human villages in the Stopa territory.
Because there are no people in the Stopa territory, a squadron of sheepheads has entered the Dirham territory.
By interrogating the prisoners, Richard roughly figured out the orcs' deployment.
The Sheepshead camp is less than twenty kilometers away from Vicksburg.
Of course, the sound of killing caused by the war could not be heard at Vicksburg.
However, during the surprise attack in the dark night, some sheep-headed men took advantage of the chaos and fled the battlefield.
These people may bring intelligence to the Vicksburg orcs, and there is a risk of exposure to the Vicksburg orcs.
If the orc commander is smart and can take advantage of his plan, he may have calculated the reinforcements brought by Richard.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Richard decided to enter the Dirham territory and annihilate the Sheephead Squadron.
Let's see if we can unite with the troops from the Dirham Territory and go to Vicksburg for rescue. This way, we will have a better chance of winning.
Richard told the grassroots officers and the backbone of the soldiers about his determination.
After unifying their opinions, they bypassed the Stopa Territory overnight and entered the Dirham Territory.
The previous generation of Baron Dirham died of illness. The new Baron Dirham was less courageous and did not implement the strategy of clearing the country.
A squadron of sheep-headed men was so frightened that they dared not leave the city.
This was the first time Richard had seen such a hereditary noble.
After nine years in Dawn Continent, the hereditary nobles that Richard met were all strong and brave types.
Northern Xinjiang nobles like his father William, Baron Harden, Baron Duck, and the previous generation Baron Stopa were all relatively common.
Even a girl like Sophia who grew up in northern Xinjiang has a very courageous personality.
Baron Dirham's performance naturally earned him no respect from Richard.
The joint rescue plan has not yet begun, and Richard is already bankrupt in his heart.
Through investigation, Richard discovered that the sheep-headed men were constantly breaking into villages and towns, arresting the citizens of Dirham, and it was as if they were in no one's land.
Richard deliberately ignored it and instead hid in the Dirham territory for three days. After discovering that the sheep-headed men had no intention of attacking the lord's castle, Richard led his soldiers and launched an attack on the sheep-headed squadron.
This battle was very successful. Richard personally shot and killed a first-level sheep-headed man, and then cooperated with Heyman to kill the leader of the sheep-headed man, earning 2,500 experience points.
In addition, more than 60 sheep-headed men were captured and 4,000 Dirham citizens were rescued.
During the last orc invasion war, the Dirham Territory was lucky enough to escape.
This time, Richard transformed into Baron Harden and got a big deal from the Baron of Dirham.
Since there is no respect for Baron Dirham, of course the rescued territory citizens Richard will not be returned, and all of them will move to the Harland territory.
