Chapter 365: Patton's Revenge (1)
Whispering forest.
The Whispering Forest is located on the border of the Forse Empire and at the junction of the Jogor Mountains. It is an isolation zone between the Forse Empire and the Red Nest.
The Fuse Empire and the Red Nest are not friendly neighbors. In the border areas, conflicts of all sizes have never stopped, and the whisper forest is the main battlefield for conflict between the two sides.
Too many dead bones were buried in the forest, whether it was the warriors of the Forse Empire or the monsters in the red nest. Whenever night fell, the night wind blew, and the leaves in the forest made rustling sounds, like the whispers of the dead.
"...so, we named this forest Whispering Forest," the Gnoll Ranger, Patton explained the origin of the Whispering Forest to the recruits who were following behind.
"This is the base of our Third Legion of the Forse Empire. We follow the powerful gnoll leader, Lord Hog, to guard the border of the empire, to guard the forest, to prevent the Red Nest from entering the empire and breaking the peace of the empire."
Patton taught earnestly to the young werewolf behind him: "Young men! It is a responsibility and a glory to stay in the whispering forest. Your family will be proud of you, and the children will pay their respects to you."
"Please don't let this glory down!"
"Don't worry, captain, we will never let the Red Nest miscellaneous step across the forest!" Following Patton, a young werewolf turned his eyes to the forest, his eyes full of determination to defend the Fuse Empire.
The same was true of other gnoll recruits around him.
Therefore, the werewolf recruits, without exception, received education from the Imperial School since childhood, and their loyalty to the Imperial has long been rooted in the thoughts of the people.
Coupled with the six-month training of recruits, the recruits were full of energy and confidence at this time, and were eager to make contributions on the battlefield. They wished that the Red Nests would pop up and fight with them immediately.
Patton saw the performance of the recruits, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Standing with the recruits, he always remembered himself when he was.
I used to be so ambitious, dreaming of fighting bravely on the battlefield and making achievements.
He has been stationed on the border for eight years and has fought bravely to fight against the enemy. The opportunity to be promoted to an officer was also placed in front of him, but he refused and he could not forget his hatred.
In that night attack, a terrifying and powerful red nest ogre rushed into the camp where they were. All the comrades who were with him day and night died in front of him, leaving him alone to escape.
Patton is not a person who is silly. He vowed to kill the ogre, cut off his bloodline, and avenge his sacrificed companions.
For this reason, he refused the promotion officer and stayed in the rear camp, just to fight on the front line of the whispering forest, hoping to find the enemy of the ogre and kill the enemy with his hands.
It has been five years since the ogre night attack. Patton has experienced many battles and has gone from a new ranger recruit who has just entered the middle level to an experienced high-level ranger elite.
In the Third Legion of the Empire, high-level rangers are definitely considered elite. With Patton's strength and qualifications, as long as he nods, he can easily become a middle-level officer, go to the rear town, sit in the office and drink cold drinks to command the soldiers under his command, without having to sleep in this primeval forest.
But every night, his companion died in battle would appear in his dreams, or the happy times he had spent together in the past, or he turned into a resentful spirit to ask him why he lived alone.
As a werewolf born in an aristocratic family, Patton's knowledge of a distant civilian is comparable. He understands that this is his obsession, or the inner demon. If he does not complete revenge, the inner demon will follow him for the rest of his life and become the biggest obstacle to his professional practice.
Gotha'er Broken Bone, I'll kill you sooner or later!
"Woooooooooooo~," Suddenly, the giant green wolf following the high-level ranger stopped. The green wolf's eyes stared at the forest, and a threatening growl came from his throat.
Patton quickly raised his hand and signaled the new recruits behind him to be quiet.
Although everyone was recruit, they had received good military training and immediately formed a battle formation with high-level rangers as the center.
Patton quickly placed the arrow on the bowstring and scanned the forest at the same time, and found no abnormalities, but he understood that his beast companion, Fenglang, would not be alert for no reason. The only explanation was that he perceived that the extraordinary beast, who was more sensitive than the advanced ranger, discovered the abnormalities.
He roared in the direction of Fenglang's roaring, put a bow, pulled the string, and roared: "Come out!"
"Relax, your own people," whispered under a big tree in the forest, and the shadow squirmed, and a werewolf thief wearing the leather armor of the Third Legion appeared.
Seeing the familiar Third Legion uniform, the new recruits breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little while holding the weapon's hands.
As an experienced veteran, Patton would not easily believe a stranger. After all, there are many cases of Red Nest Miscellaneous people who have changed into their clothes for death in battle.
He still did not relax when he pinched the arrow's fingers. He carefully observed the suddenly appearing zombie thief and found that the legion emblem on the zombie thief's chest was somewhat different from that of ordinary soldiers. There was a black dagger in the inscription. This was the emblem of the Third Legion's ace scout brigade. This mysterious team was directly affiliated with the commander of the Third Legion - Hog River Claw.
He can be directly led by Hog River Claw, the leader of the famous Third Legion of the Empire. Everyone in this team is an elite, at least a high-level professional.
It is also very simple to identify whether the identity is real. The emblems of the Ace Scouts are specially made, and the magic marks that can only be activated by themselves are sealed immediately.
"Soldier, activate your emblem."
The werewolf thieves felt very frustrated. It would be fine if they went to and from important places of the Third Legion to show their identity. It was simply a shame to be forced to show their identity by a border patrol.
However, what is more shameful than showing the insignia is being shot and killed by a companion.
He could feel that the forest tourer in front of him was very strong. The wind wolf was not an ordinary mid-level extraordinary beast. He was taller and his pupils were sharper than that of the ordinary wind wolf. Perhaps he had the bloodline of the Wind Wolf King.
According to the tradition of Ranger Training Camp, winners are given priority to select animal companions, which all indicate that Ranger in front of you is not an ordinary character.
"Well, it seems you are the ogre killer - Patton Demon Hunter. I have heard your story. You dare to go deep into the Red Nest Ogre and escape unscathed. You are very strong," the zombie thief activated the emblem worn on his chest, and the emblem lit up a glimmer.
The glory flashed, but it was enough to prove his identity.
Then Patton relaxed the unbuttoned bowstring and inserted the arrow into the quiver.
"However, I'm very curious, how did your wind wolf discover me?" The thief was puzzled.
As a member of the ace scout team, he was very confident in his strength and applied a scent-covering powder specially developed by the pharmacist, but he was discovered by his companion Fenglang.
Fortunately, it was discovered by our companions. If you go deep into the enemy camp and be discovered by the enemy, death will be the second best, and you will be alarmed and affected by the high-level plan, that would be a big deal.
Patton approached, sniffed his nose, and immediately understood the situation: "Have you been to the Jogor Mountains?"
The Ranger did not expect to get the thief's answer. After all, the ace scouts often have important tasks when they are dispatched, so how can they reveal the details of the task at will?
He continued, "You stepped on a blue wildflower in the Jogor Mountains, which is not in the whispering forest, and the fragrance of flowers remains on your boots, and for some reason, my partner and I were in the Jogor Mountains for a while and were sensitive to this fragrance of flowers."
"So that's the case," the thief suddenly realized.
"Thank you for answering my questions. In return, I will also tell you an information. Your enemy, the son of the chief of the Bone-Black Ogre, Gordar Black Black is now in Fortress No. 7."
When Patton heard this, his entire breath became sharper, like an arrow about to shoot out.
"Relax, my friend, the ogre is now under the protection of the army, and revenge requires a little patience," said the thief, without stopping, fleeing into the shadow and rushing towards the Third Legion's headquarters.
The high-level ranger - Patton took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to revenge in his heart.
As the unknown zombie thief said, the ogre enemy is in the enemy fortress at this time, and his own strength is strong.
"Revenge requires a little patience..." Patton murmured to himself.
Although the werewolf thief did not say it clearly, he also revealed a piece of information to him that it is very likely that the above will attack the Red Nest Fortress in the near future.
The ranger turned his eyes to the whispering forest not far away, and his eyes seemed to see the border of the Qiaogor Mountains, the city walls between the valleys, and the Red Nest Border Defense Force behind the city walls.
Compared with the Forse Empire, Red Nest has more advantage in terrain. They built one city wall after another between the valleys, stationed troops behind the city walls, and there were war fortresses built for combat behind them.
On the other hand, there was no danger to defend, and the Third Legion had to lay down layers of traps in the whispering forest and set up border patrols and sentry towers to strictly prevent enemy invasion.
Even though the traps in the whispering forest are dense, there are still a few red nests that can pass through, and Patton's patrol was destroyed because of this.
Patton held the bow and arrow in his hand tightly and shouted: "Young men! Let's continue patrolling! Never let the Red Nest scattered into the territory of the empire!"
"Okay!" xn
The Ranger led the team members to set out again, patrolling the section of the road he was responsible for along the edge of the whispering forest.
Patton gave a look at the veteran in the team. The latter stood on the side of the whispering forest tacitly, protecting the new recruits behind him.
This is the tradition of the Forse Empire. Veterans lead new soldiers through the most dangerous early stages of the military, teaching by example and deeds to teach experience. The lessons learned by these predecessors with their blood can greatly increase the chances of new recruits' survival in their later military careers.

On the other side, the werewolf and thieves rushed back to the headquarters of the Third Legion, the Imperial Frontier City - Wolf Heart Fortress.
The Wolf Heart Fortress was built inside the Modo Peak Forest, not far from the Whispering Forest, and the Empire spent a lot of time and money on this fortress.
In order to build this fortress, the empire hollowed out several quarries. The fortress wall was six stories high, made of huge and hard bluestone bricks. The stone bricks were connected by special magic adhesives, making the entire city wall integrated.
There is also a magic circle built with a lot of money inside the city wall, which not only enhances the magic resistance of the city wall, but also plays a reconnaissance role, discovers enemies in advance, provides accurate enemy positions for the city-guarding cannons on the city wall, and provides devastating blows.
The tall city walls, the wide moat, the elite defenders, and the abundant strategic materials in the fortress...
If the Red Nest invades a large-scale invasion and fails to take down the Wolf Heart Fortress in time, the Wolf Heart Fortress will become a nail that is nailed into the rear of the enemy and nailed to the hearts of the enemy.
Through the suspension bridge on the moat, through the city gates guarded by heavy troops, and through layers of patrols, the werewolf and thieves came to the core of the Wolf Heart Fortress, the city in the city - Wolf Heart Fortress.
Wolf Heart Castle is the residence of Hog River Claw, the commander of the Third Legion and the famous werewolf leader of the Forse Empire, and it is also the brain of the Third Legion.
When you come to Wolf Heart Castle, the guards' strength is obviously much stronger. There are no ones below the middle level when you look up, and it is also common for higher level.
As the ace scout affiliated with Hogg, the werewolf thieves can also be unobstructed in Wolf Heart Castle, and smoothly enter the interior of Wolf Heart Castle, pass through the rock corridor, and come to a room inside Wolf Heart Castle.
Hog River Claw is different from most senior executives of the Empire. He does not like bright and spacious offices, but is narrow and dark places can give him a sense of security, which is related to his long-term resident in the dark area.
When he pushed open the door, the zombie thief saw an extremely tall zombie. Even if he sat in a chair and buried his head behind the pile of documents on the table, he was a little taller than an ordinary zombie.
It is simply two species with ordinary gnolls!
In fact, the dragon vein relatives transformed by the dragon vein and ordinary people can really be considered two species.
Facing the strongest werewolf in the empire and the new legendary warrior, the proud thief lowered his proud head: "Dear Legion Chief, I bring the latest information."
Behind the high stack of documents, the gnoll raised his head, and the fanned candlelight shone on his face, serious and majestic.
"Say," the hoarse voice seemed like a dagger slashing through pig iron, and the short words had an unquestionable meaning.
The werewolf thief's head was lowered: "Legion leader, I was ordered to investigate the Red Nest No. 7 Fortress, and accidentally discovered a secret..."
After saying that, the zombie robber automatically retreated and closed the door.
In the room, the tall werewolf's eyes were in a state of light and darkness in the candlelight.
The elite thief of the werewolf just was just an inconspicuous member of the scout group he sent. If the werewolf had not claimed to have brought special news, he would not have been summoned by the commander of the Third Legion.
"The smell of death, what the hell is Red Nest?"
Hog River Claw leaned against the chair behind him. In order to make sufficient preparations, he had not had a rest for five consecutive days. Even though he, a new legend who had consolidated his strength for half a year, felt a little overwhelmed.
"Forget it, the master's grand plan is unstoppable..."
