Chapter 170 There may be a turning point

Inside the tent, Gino carefully looked up and down at the black-haired young man in front of him.

Arthur is now as strong as a leopard, with a gentle face and determination. Months of fighting on the battlefield have added a hint of ponderousness between his eyes and eyebrows.

Arthur was a little restrained, and he didn't understand why the deputy legion commander didn't speak but kept staring at him.

"My name is Gino, Gino Patrick."

Arthur didn't react to the deputy legion commander's initiative to introduce himself at first, "Gino? I seem to have heard of it before?"

Arthur's confusion made Gino a little embarrassed, and he had to remind him: "Don't you remember your admission recommendation letter?"

"So you are that, Gino!" Arthur suddenly realized and was so excited that he forgot Gino's identity as the deputy legion commander and blurted out.

Arthur's forgetfulness made Moral behind him stunned. He always thought that the boss was a wild boy from the countryside, but he didn't expect that his background was so strong that he was the deputy legion commander of the Snow Wind Legion. It seems that he can walk sideways in the Snowstorm Corps in the next two years.

"Is Brother Cairns okay?" Juno couldn't wait to ask that had been lingering in his mind for these years.

The excited expression on Arthur's face disappeared instantly, "Captain Cairns is dead."

"Are you sure?"

"I was there at the time." So Arthur told Juno again about the Sauron Canyon and the mysterious organization chasing him.

The king's eyes flashed coldly, and the strong murderous aura exuding from his body oppressed Arthur and made him take two steps back.

"You have been wronged over the years. I will arrange people to investigate the following things. Whoever did this behind the scenes will pay the price!" Juno said in a cold voice.

"Captain Keynes's revenge is also my business."

King nodded approvingly, and then turned the topic to the current battle with the orcs, "Did you come out of the former military city? Are there any other people alive besides you?"

"There are still Gold, Huey and more than 300 soldiers in the city. We are hiding in the underground military tunnel. I ventured out this time to ask for help from the legion. We can't hold on for two days." Arthur said anxiously.

King was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there were so many soldiers in the city occupied by 60,000 orcs. He couldn't imagine how they could hold on.

Then he said with a gloomy face: "The legion is preparing to implement a siege strategy and will not attack the city in the short term. How long can you hold on?"

"Two days, at most three days, we will be dug out by the orcs. Please send someone to rescue us, legion commander!" Arthur's tone was already pleading.

Jinuo sighed, "Even as the deputy commander of the legion, I can't save you. I can't let the legion pay the price of tens of thousands of casualties for a few hundred people."

Arthur's expression instantly became extremely disappointed, lonely, and gloomy.

The king also looked helpless. After thinking for a while, he comforted her: "Although the Legion will not attack the city, I will join forces with several warriors to launch a surprise attack and try to rescue Gold, Hughie and the others."

Arthur shook his head firmly, "I will never abandon the soldiers to escape alone. Either the whole army breaks through, or we die together in the front military city."

Looking at Arthur's stubborn look, King's expression was also a little excited, "You are really like Brother Cairns back then? He was not unwilling to abandon any of us and fought in the Sighing Canyon."

"It was because the Legion gave up on you that Captain Cairns left the Legion, right?"

King nodded, then shook his head in contradiction, "What did Brother Cairns tell you?"

"Captain Cairns, Randall and Tony have never mentioned their experiences to me, but now I guess it? Isn't it?"

The organization is ruthless! King was silent and speechless.

"Thank you, deputy commander. I'm leaving now." Arthur turned and left.

"Wait a minute, where are you going?"

Arthur stopped but didn't look back, "Back to Tianjin City, there are more than 300 brothers waiting for me there, even if I die, I will die with them!"

King froze on the spot. Twelve years later, he was a "Keynes" who valued love and loyalty!

"Well said! This is manliness!" King's blood boiled, "I'll take you to Tianjin City. Even if I die on the battlefield, I can't be a heartless and ungrateful person!"

King actually wanted to take Arthur to Tianjin City alone.

Arthur was deeply moved by the King's heroic spirit. He was so excited that he wanted to follow King out.

But before the two of them went out, a strong cough sounded outside the tent, "King, it's so late, where are you going?"

After the words fell, Prince Hobbes walked in through the curtain.

Jinuo bowed and saluted, "I couldn't sleep at night, so I planned to go to the front military city to relax."

Prince Hobbes snorted, "You are already the deputy commander of the legion, but you are still so childish."

Jinuo blushed, knowing that he was impulsive, but still said, "Sometimes when things come to a point, you can't help but be impulsive!"

Hobbes ignored Into and began to look at Arthur, "You can lead hundreds of soldiers to the orc wasteland for several months, and you are also a talented general. How come you have become a reckless man who only knows how to fight for your life?"

Although Arthur had never seen Hobbes, he saw Jinuo saluting him. 's attitude and guessed the identity of the prince's legion commander. He saluted before answering solemnly: "Besieged in the city by tens of thousands of orcs, my soldiers and I are in a desperate situation. What else can I do except fight for my life?"

"The more than 300 soldiers in the city are not only your soldiers, but also soldiers of my Snow Wind Legion. It's not that the legion has given up on you, but using the siege method to save you will cause more casualties. If you were the legion commander, how would you choose?"

Arthur didn't speak. He also understood the truth of what Prince Hobbes said, but many times there is no choice between emotion and reason.

Prince Hobbes slowed down his tone and continued, "Although you are trapped in the city, you are not completely hopeless, but chances are earned through fighting."

Arthur's eyes lit up, "So we still have hope?"

Prince Hobbes smiled slightly, "Since you have the courage to assassinate the son of the Lion King, why not fight again? Not only will you have a chance, but I will also give you a great military achievement!"

A few hundred miles away from the front army city, a human army was marching all night with torches, and the torches were like a long fire dragon.

In front of the army, a middle-aged scholar in a long gown sat on a tall wildebeest, leading the way. It was Hero Howells.

A wildebeest ran up from behind quickly, and a tall division commander came to Dino's side, "General, we have been marching all night, and some soldiers can't hold on any longer."

Dino shook his head and sighed, "It seems that the Frost Thunder Legion hasn't fought for too long, and the soldiers' physical fitness is too poor."

The division commander didn't dare to refute, but whispered: "We must train strictly in the future. Now we are not far from the Front Army City, and the military situation is not urgent. Should we let the soldiers camp first?"

"The military situation is not urgent, but Hobbes is anxious! Our Iron-blooded Prince hasn't led the troops in person for many years. Since he went to the Front Army City in person this time, he will definitely find a way to swallow those orcs. If we go too late, we won't even have soup to drink!"

Dino's voice became louder and louder, "Let the soldiers walk faster, a lot of military exploits are waiting for us!"
