Upon seeing Manlov's performance, Zhang Lisheng knew that even though the Tatdu and Wordorf armies in the frontline still did not know that the territory behind them had fallen under the lightning-like offensive of the Roman slave army organized by the believers and the strict news blockade, they still found some unusual clues.
"Are you asking me about the news in the territory, Commander Manlov? It's a rare war in a hundred years now so of course, some people are panicking but the situation is still stable. Everyone is waiting for the news from the frontline." The Wizard Li's god commanded the wyvern to fly side by side with Commander Tate and pretended to sigh as he replied.
"I'm relieved now that the situation is stable, Sir." Although Manlov was one of the few conspiracy theorists among the Roman warriors due to his nature, he could not find a reason for the black-haired young man to lie to him subconsciously. Convinced, he breathed a sigh of relief quietly, "According to the usual practice, the frontline and the territory would have a contact every three days but now we've lost contact for five days.
The messenger that we've specially arranged to chase after them has not responded either. It's really worrying. "
"What's there to worry about, Commander Manlov?" Zhang Lisheng pretended to be indifferent and shook his head. "If there's really an accident in the territory, it's impossible that there's no air cavalry to inform us. The reason why we've lost contact is most likely that the messenger has encountered an accident."
"Looks like that's the case. It must be the elite air cavalry of Siloria who went deep into our frontline to investigate and killed the messenger, intending to shake the army's morale.
These despicable guys actually imitate our tactics! They really deserve to have their heads chopped off! Looks like you're really lucky to be able to come to the frontline without any accidents, Sir! "Commander Tate cursed and clamped the giant crow he was sitting on tightly before descending slowly.
The coalition camp of Tatdu and Wordorf was in the shape of a long snake but it was not narrow. There was a flat square of 100 meters square as the landing place for the air cavalry.
After landing smoothly, Manlov jumped down from his mount and ordered the servant who came up to greet him in a hurry, "Add 30% more meat to my mount in the evening. I still have to be on duty at night." Then, he turned to look at the black-haired young man who landed beside him. "Sir, let me bring you to see General Adori. He's the general on duty at the camp today."
"Commander Manlov, what is that?" However, at this time, Zhang Lisheng's attention was attracted by the few strange giant beasts with their long necks raised from the thick grass feed thousands of meters away in front of them. As if he did not hear Commander Tate's words, he asked without blinking his eyes.
"That's the Long-necked Dragon captured from Siloria's position. More than ten days ago, it's because of their help that Siloria managed to trap Sir Hostan and almost annihilate the northern border army. It was all thanks to Sir Viscount personally leading all of the coalition forces to rescue us that we were finally saved from danger.
When we broke through the Silorians' encirclement, these few Long-necked Dragons were heavily injured and followed the army back to the camp. They were supposed to be killed and eaten but Master Etvago stayed up all night and found a way to tame them in an ancient book. That's why they stayed.
If the taming is successful and they give birth, then the Tate Territory will have three war beasts. In this case, if we really defeat the Silorians this time and completely annex the Central Enit Plains, we can then be called the Earl's Territory. "Manlov's gloomy face had a rare excited expression as he explained endlessly.
"War beast, war beast, what a chilling name." Under the bright sunlight, Zhang Lisheng retracted his gaze from afar and jumped down from the wyvern. He said in awe, "Visually, it's about 50 meters long and weighs more than 150 tons. Such a huge beast can only be compared to the Seismosaurus from the Cretaceous period in our Earth's evolutionary history.
Commander Manlov, other than being 'big', is there anything else that's scary about the Long-necked Dragon? "
"The corrosive stomach gas that the Long-necked Dragon breathes can turn a team of strong warriors into skeletons in just a breath." Commander Tate, who seemed to understand the black-haired young man's words, said, "Sir, from what you said just now, don't tell me that there are beasts similar to war beasts in the country you were born in?"
"There used to be, but they're extinct now. Not only that, they only have a similar body shape. They're far from being as scary as the Long-necked Dragon." Zhang Lisheng smiled and shook his head. "Didn't you want to bring me to see the general on duty in the camp? Let's go now."
"Alright, Sir, please follow me." Seeing that the black-haired young man beside him did not want to talk about the topic of the giant beasts in his birthplace, Manlov secretly felt regretful. However, he put on a stiff smile and walked out of the square.
The two of them walked out of the square where the flying mounts took off and landed one after another. They rode on the Dragon Lizard and followed behind a team of heavily armored patrolling guards with sabers on their waists and spears in their hands. They advanced towards the right side of the camp at a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast.
All of a sudden, Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting on the leather saddle, faced the gentle breeze and asked Commander Tate who was sitting on the Dragon Lizard's head, "Commander Manlov, have you seen Sir Viscount Tate these few days?"
"No, with my identity, it's not easy for me to see Sir Viscount." Manlov was slightly stunned as he said, "Why did you suddenly ask this, Sir?"
"Oh, I was just, erm, just imagining Sir Viscount's heroism on the battlefield.
I heard that he's one of the most outstanding suzerains in Tate's history. I hope to have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes. " After confirming that Commander Tate in front of him did not know that the suzerain he was loyal to was seriously injured, Zhang Lisheng lied.
He did not expect that Manlov would be able to see through this lie that he casually told. He frowned and became silent for a while before saying in a deep voice as if deep in thought, "Sir, you don't look like someone who would want to go to the battlefield to see Sir Viscount's heroism in person, do you?"
"Oh, that's the former Commander Manlov. I'm also a noble of the Roman World now …" Even though he had already made up his mind to annihilate the armies of Tate, Wordorf, and Siloria, it was not the right time yet. For this reason, Zhang Lisheng could only feign civility and randomly explain.
Right at this moment, the sound of a horn resonated in the distance that resonated throughout the camp. At once, thousands of Roman warriors rushed out of their tents from the left and right. Zhang Lisheng quickly covered it up and asked, "What's wrong, Commander Manlov?"
"The Silorians have launched an attack again! This is the sixth time in ten days!" Manlov no longer cared about the doubts in his heart as he commanded his mount to pass through the crowd agilely.
"As a duty officer, General Adori and I must participate in the battle. Sir, I'll have to ask you to wait for a while."
"Of course, the battle is more important. It's alright with me, Commander Manlov," Zhang Lisheng replied in a very reasonable manner. When the Dragon Lizard that he was riding on stopped in front of an empty tent, he immediately jumped down tactfully and said, "I wish you great achievements in this battle!" Then, he walked into the tent.
The Roman people were tall, rough, and pragmatic. Other than a log table that reached up to Zhang Lisheng's neck, with a length of more than 20 meters and a width of more than 10 meters with a huge sand table placed on it, there were only a few surprisingly large wooden chairs that were similar to the size of an Earthling and a bathtub-like water bucket placed at the corner of the tent.
"I didn't expect the Silorians to be so active in killing the Tatterdu and Wordorf coalition forces. Now that the news of the territory's fall has yet to reach the frontline, the Roman slave army led by Carthage would need at least two to three days to rest and regroup after the continuous hundreds of miles of continuous battles.
If that's the case, should I kill the 100,000 soldiers gathered in the central Enit Plains tonight or should I wait patiently for another two days … "Zhang Lisheng sat on the wooden chair and muttered to himself as he listened to the commotion outside the barracks.
He could not come to a conclusion no matter how much he thought about it. In the end, he decided to act according to the situation. After he made up his mind and snapped back to reality, he suddenly realized that it was already quiet outside the tent.
After waiting for a while, a young warrior covered in sweat wearing half-leather armor ran into the tent. When he saw the black-haired young man's short figure, a curious look crept upon his face. However, he said respectfully, "You must be Lord Zhang Bingqi, right?
Sir, I'm Aigla Dubaia, the herald of General Aduci Adori who is on duty at the camp. I'm under the general's order to bring you to see Viscount Wordorf. "
"Viscount Wordorf?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned. He jumped off the wooden chair and asked in confusion, "Dubaia's herald, but I'm the Lord of Tatterdu and I don't know Lord Wordorf …" However, he was interrupted by the young Roman warrior's question that carried a deep meaning. "Sir, even though you're a noble of Tatterdu, do you think it's convenient for you to see the viscount that we're loyal to now?"
"Oh, the general's close confidant is indeed more well-informed than the commander. Looks like you know that our respected Lord is heavily injured again." Zhang Lisheng's expression changed as he lowered his voice. "How's Lord's situation now?"
"Sir, I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm only ordered to bring you to see Lord Viscount Wordorf and General Adori. Please come with me." Dubaia bowed cautiously and took two steps back before turning around to open the tent.
"Looks like you're a tight-lipped person, Dubaia Herald. However, do you know that there's no need for you to do this now? Even if you don't answer my question, Lord Viscount Wordorf or General Adori will answer it.
There's no need to hide such a thing from me at all. " Zhang Lisheng curled his lips in dissatisfaction and walked out of the tent. He rode on the dragon lizard together with the herald who had been silent since the beginning and passed through half of the camp. They came to a tent that was a few meters higher and a few times bigger than the military camps on the left and right. It was even covered with a large piece of gray carpet with several dozens of elite guards standing on it.
