Chapter 406: Chapter 89 The Spear and the Shield_1

The Scepter Shaman is no fool, if Feilengcui’s military might is already this potent, gathering other Scepter Shamans to participate in the war only proves that matters have become serious beyond redemption.

However, Count Totti had been bustling around Feilengcui all day, frequently flying to Dorott in the night. How could they trick the discerning eyes of the experienced? Several Scepter Shamans guessed the general reasons.

The situation in Dorott has also gradually become clear. The Tornado Mercenary Group has indeed begun preparations for the war. As a large mercenary group, the structure of the Tornado mercenaries is perfect, with every part having a replacement and a rest period. Now, even the mercenaries on holiday have been recalled, showing that the Tornado indeed has major operations.

Not long after, Gatuso Danze, the patriarch of the Danze Family and the head of the Tornado Mercenary Group, issued a clear slogan. He declared confidently that they were heading to the "Donau wasteland, avenging the Heavy Scythe-wielders!"

Regrettably, Marquis Capello was unable to discern the details of the manpower distribution within the Tornado Mercenary Group, something the Lord of Feilengcui was very keen to know. It made Liu Zhenhan extremely angry.

Liu Zhenhan didn’t need to guess. He knew that the strength of these humans was surely not as simple as it appeared on the surface. As long as they were humans, they would always love to hide something.

It wasn’t that Marquis Capello didn’t put forth his fullest effort, he indeed strived to arrange, investigate and gather information. But the Tornado Mercenary Group was ultimately a military organization with its own stringent set of security arrangements. Their camp is outside the city of Dorott, and within a hundred miles of the camp is a military control zone. It’s too tricky to acquire specific intelligence.

Compared to Liu Zhenhan, Marluis Capello’s Shalba family were most eager to see the Danze family’s downfall. If Feilengcui lost the war, for the Bimon Kingdom, they would just lose a tiny territory. Such territories amount to at least hundreds or thousands within the Bimon Kingdom, and the armies of two provinces can comfortably pincer attack. However, for the Shalba family, a defeat would mean losing their title of Grand Duke forever.

Two weeks had already passed, which should have been sufficient time for the Tornado Mercenary Group to prepare. Strangely, although the Danze family had recalled all the mercenaries that were on leave and made a loud declaration, they made no movement thereafter. Even Fairy Dragon Daisy couldn’t figure out why.

Rovi recruited two hundred brave Wolf Cavalry and managed to arrive on the sixteenth day. It was incredible how he could manage to recruit, gather, and reach Feilengcui in such a short time -- even human mercenaries riding excellent warhorses would at least need half a month just to trek across the wasteland to Feilengcui.

Although the riding beasts of the Wolf Cavalry, the barren giant wolves, weren’t as robust as war horses, they were certainly more enduring for long-distances.

Just as Great Shaman Wei An had predicted, although Robert Baggio had reported to the military headquarter in the southern province about seven wasteland outposts being destroyed, since the strategic mission of Beamon Wolves in the southeast province was only to defend and not to attack, the military department, without confirmed reports of invasion, did not have the authority to gather troops and wage a retaliatory war against Dorott Duchy.

Small scale border conflicts often happen. Under normal circumstances, they would tolerate these, this is a common rule. In the case that a war breaks out on the Western front of Bimon Kingdom, the suzerain behind Dorott Duchy is still the well-known military powerhouse Holy Francisco Empire, and even the kinds of Wolf Tribe who always advocate for ’Blood for Blood’ know they need to bear with it.

The southeastern military department has already submitted the investigation report and memorandum of this matter to the royal court. Now, it was up to the king and the judgments of the elder council. According to the Great Shaman Wei An, if the king and the council were to take their time discussing and analyzing, as long as the other party doesn’t attack, it will take until next spring to see the results.

Yet, the Wolf Tribe is still the Wolf Tribe, they are not the timid Fawkes nor slow-paced bureaucrats.

With implicit consent from the high ranking military officials, the passionate Wolf Cavalry on the Southeast frontier responded to Rovi’s call. Two hundred skillful warriors with superb knife skills and riding techniques spontaneously organized themselves, and under the cover of night, infiltrated Dorott Duchy’s border. In one night, they successively destroyed fourteen human border outposts. As they retreated at dawn, what was left on the horizon was a small hill built with human skulls and a giant flag written in fresh blood: "Blood debt shall only be repaid with double the blood."

This group of Wolf Riders were those very brave warriors who swept the human border line with Rovi. After their mission of revenge, following Rovi’s lead and as the previously agreed backup, they united and hurried to Feilengcui. Out of the two hundred strong and ferocious Wolf Riders, not a single one was devastated.

Rovi not only brought along two hundred Wolf Riders but also two Beimon Shamans from Sharoman Tribe and fifty ferocious trained wolves. With their arrival, the military strength of Feilengcui strengthened significantly. This also guaranteed that the attack power of the Mastiff Warriors can double.

Only, the equipment of these Wolf Riders was too shabby. The saddle was even a crudely made wooden saddle, the long knife and the leather armor were full of gaps. Even this kind of weapon was for many Wolf Tribes a long cherished family treasure passed from one generation to the next. Just like the Holy Temple Knights, the Wolves’ restraint soon turned to envy, then to jealousy. Even the weapons and armor of Feilengcui’s Slave Warriors made them feel an immense sense of jealousy.
