Chapter 95: Deep into the Drachenwald Forest
It has always been Wendlow who cheated others, but this is the first time he was cheated by himself.
If a person even cheats himself, then is he particularly cheating or particularly not cheating?
While Windlow was still pondering this philosophical question, a rare wild laugh appeared on Mousse's face.
Dark elves seldom laugh. Torturing others is one way to laugh, enjoying themselves is another way to laugh, and this is obviously a third way to laugh, commanding others.
One hand pinched Wendlow's face, and the following whispers were only heard by each other.
"Leave this to me. You just take care of the logistics. The Honorable Dread Lord will not embarrass you."
The Elector's order cannot be easily rejected. If it affects Geisel's expectations and mood, then Windlow will never be able to do business in Nordland in his lifetime.
Since Mousse was able to take on the task, it was natural to give her full authority.
Even the two thousand gold coins became the possession of this dark elf, and she knew how to use them.
The captains of the empire are all ruthless men who have fought their way out of the empire's provincial armies, while the dread lords are the most ruthless of the dark elves.
Mousse previously had a revered synonym. Only a powerful dread lord could obtain a title similar to an synonym.
Its synonym is the Honored Series [Tusk Shield].
For example, this is equivalent to a nickname that matches a person's identity and ability, such as Wu Yong, the "wise man" and Lin Chong, the "leopard head".
If it is in a formal occasion among the dark elves, her full name would naturally be [Tusk Shield] Mousse.
The origin of this alias is very simple. Mousse is particularly good at commanding low-level troops in battle. He knows how to boost the morale of weak soldiers and how to make them last longer on the battlefield.
Outside the largest tavern in the entire Port of Dist, Mousse simply opened the box full of gold coins for everyone passing by to see.
Windlow acted as the mouthpiece for the Lord of Terror.
"Recruit mercenaries! Slaughter the beastmen! Choose your own loot!"
The empire lacked everything: extra farmland, convenient transportation, fine wine, universities, and safe land.
The only thing that is not lacking is population, especially those street urchins who have nowhere to go and no jobs to do. They are very good at becoming mercenaries.
Many soldiers who have retired from the military camp, due to their lack of social experience, have rejoined the mercenary team to live a second life after having their retirement benefits defrauded.
There was already a long recruitment line outside the tavern, and Mousse was quite satisfied with the quality of the recruits.
The human race is short-lived and weak, but there are many of them and they are well disciplined.
I still remember that when he was in Naggaroth, it was very difficult for Mousse to recruit soldiers. After all, the number of dark elves was too small, and even if they received the military pay, they would still think about backstabbing and rebelling.
The quality of human soldiers is not as good as that of dark elves, but as long as they are paid and fed, they are very loyal. They are excellent.
Mousse's lavender eyes could immediately see through the ability and identity of the recruit in front of him.
The Dread Lords who emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood are the best at selecting qualified soldiers.
The soldiers who were just there to make a living were screened out and rejected. The veterans who had served in the provincial legions could see Mousse nodded.
There were also some arrogant recruits who sneered and spoke disrespectfully when they saw that Mousse was a woman.
Mousse was not angry, but was very happy that such a person existed.
He directly invited him over and started to fight, then he was knocked down with one punch within three moves.
If he could get up, he would be welcomed by Mousse, allowed to join the team and be given the position of team leader.
If someone couldn't get up or fled, Mousse would kick him hard and then completely block all information about him.
There were even a few who could fight with Mousse for more than ten moves without losing, making her lavender eyes sparkle.
Then he promised them a large sum of money to hire them as an elite fighting force, with enough money and food!
Of course, Wendlow was also assigned a position by Mousse and became the logistics officer of the army, responsible for military supplies.
For this purpose, Mousse even generously allocated fifty gold coins to purchase food and supplies.
It was also a blessing in disguise that the entire Port of Dist had its siege crisis resolved and the price of food was still low.
Coupled with Windlow's business talent and ability to do business, he was able to buy enough military rations for 500 people for a month with only 50 gold coins.
In addition to not letting people go hungry, there was even meat and wine, which was better than the supplies of ordinary imperial provincial armies.
Mousse has completed the recruitment of troops. Although they are all marginalized people excluded by the empire and soldiers from the free militia, he believes that they will become a powerful force.
An army of 500 men had already assembled outside the Drakenwald Forest, and the reinforcements promised by the Lauren Lauren elves had also arrived at the scene.
The reinforcements provided by the elves only consisted of more than a dozen people, but they were all experienced veteran rangers who knew how to move quickly in the forest and how to detect the beastmen's traps.
Of course, Mousse still gave this group of mobs some simple training, and divided such a force into three groups using the dark elf method.
Infantry organization, archer organization, and reserve organization.
As a being with the alias [Tusk Shield], this Lord of Dread also knows how to boost the morale of his soldiers: the spoils of war are of your choice.
He can even easily explain the beastmen's attack methods and response strategies, allowing soldiers to gain more chances of survival through special training.
Just like that, a group of imperial mercenaries, although hastily assembled but fully confident, marched towards the forest in a mighty force.
The Dread Lord has extensive experience in leading troops in battle. He will not be reckless or underestimate the enemy, nor will he be timid.
"Why do we have the archers in the middle and the spearmen on the sides? This is different from the Imperial Phalanx."
As the quartermaster, Windlow was sandwiched in the middle of the team, walking side by side with Mousse, one in front and one behind.
Mousse just glanced back.
"Do you know why there are no beastmen in Naggaroth? Because they were all killed by the dark elves, leaving no one alive. So I suggest you don't ask some very stupid questions. I don't have the time or interest to explain it to you."
A long time ago, there were humans and beastmen in Naggaroth.
Ever since the Dark Elves came to Naggaroth, they have killed or enslaved all the native creatures, so they naturally know how to deal with the Beastmen.
Beastmen are best at charging in close combat, preferring ambushes to gain extra melee advantage, and using charge bonuses to take out opponents in one go.
Most of the Empire's generals believed that the Beastmen were just mindless beasts, but the Dark Elves knew that the Beastmen's best tactic was to use their mobility to launch a pincer attack to encircle the enemy.
They are extremely weak at long range and the arrows they shoot are weak, but they are highly maneuverable and extremely fast.
The most fatal thing is the lack of line-carrying infantry. At the same time, they are all lightly armored troops without armor and can be easily penetrated by spears and bows and arrows.
The soldiers recruited by Mousse were also very distinctive. All the infantry were shield-bearing spearmen holding spears and shields. They could resist charges and carry shields to avoid being hurt by arrows.
All the archers are conscripted archers armed with bows and arrows. Firstly, the elves do not trust gunpowder weapons, and secondly, bows perform better than muskets in the forest.
The reserve forces were all veterans who had served in the imperial provincial legions, so as to avoid being defeated by the first wave of beastmen's charge.
Just as this group of mercenaries had completely entered the Drakenwald Forest, the elven rangers who had been exploring the way had already brought back intelligence.
"One thousand meters ahead."
