The shaman was obviously a big fish, and everyone was excited to unearth more information from him, and after a night of rest and preparation, the next day when it was just dawn, the substitute leaders got up one after another, and took their cronies with them to devote themselves to the interrogation process.
Originally, according to everyone's predictions, this shaman was likely to show the toughness of the beasts, and it would definitely take some effort to pry his mouth open, so it was inevitable to use some means.
Including Xiao Lin and Chengming, they don't mind using some torture, just don't kill this shaman, they have actually done this kind of thing a few times in the previous monthly exams, and now there is no psychological pressure.
But when the interrogation began, in the face of a joint interrogation team of twelve people, the menacing momentum, this shaman seemed quite cooperative, almost answering all questions, although the tone did not hide the contempt for humans, but it didn't matter, all everyone cared about was the answer.
Because this shaman is proficient in Chinese, it is surprisingly easy to communicate.
"Your name!"
"Lightning."
"Lightning?
I'm still called Heavy Snow by my name!
It's not honest to be a captive......"
"Ahem, the surname of the beast clan is different from that of us humans, and they often use special appearance, weapons and spells used, or family deeds as surnames, I remember that this guy is good at lightning spells, it's normal to call lightning, don't make a fuss."
"Okay, gender."
"Ahem......"
"Well, I'll skip that question." …… In the case of the opponent's cooperation, the interrogation became very easy, and it was useless for some people with special hobbies to prepare such as eighteen tortures, and then more people devoted themselves to asking questions, although everyone had learned about the history of the orcs in history class, but it was only a general theory after all.
Everyone has a great interest in the orcs, especially Chen Zhi, who was once keen on online games on the earth, and has a fanatical interest in the orcs.
The origin of this shamanic orc named Lightning has also been figured out.
He called himself the deputy commander of the thirteenth orc legion, and the freshmen didn't have an intuitive sense of this position.
But after asking the Captain, the leader of the architects, they understood the significance of the deputy captain among the orcs.
Among the beasts, the definition of the position of deputy legion commander is military advisor and staff officer, which is basically held by shamans, a bit like the instructor of the earth, although it is a deputy position, but because of the particularity of shamans, the authority of the deputy legion leader is very large.
But that's even weirder.
The deputy legion commander would actually deign to be the commander of an orc infantry regiment with only three thousand people, and he was captured so easily, even if some of the acting squad leaders were intoxicated that they were too powerful, Xiao Lin and the others were also suspicious and vigilant enough about this.
Lightning's explanation is also reasonable, not to mention that this supply depot stores a large amount of supplies, and it is a necessary place for the orcs to get to the front line, and if you want to open a passage to the hinterland of the Dawning colony, you can't avoid it.
The Orcs were overstretched by the nearby troops because they had invested too many troops on the front line, and when the supply depot was captured, they could only rush with 3,000 troops in a hurry.
But he also said he underestimated the fighting power of humanity.
This was somewhat flattering, and everyone listened to it quite comfortably, so they naturally accepted this answer.
Next up is about the movements of the orcs.
Lightning was a little silent in this regard, such as the deployment of the Thirteenth Legion, which he refused to disclose, which was also expected, especially those who felt that they could be tortured directly.
However, their preparation was still useless, and after a simple coercion and temptation, plus punches and kicks, the lightning honestly confided.
The Thirteenth Legion, and the only unit of the Orcs stationed in the vicinity, has a total number of more than 30,000 people.
Among them were nearly 10,000 wolf cavalry, but the wolf cavalry was requisitioned to the front.
The other 20,000 troops were scattered around checkpoints and transport routes, and it was difficult to assemble for a while.
This 3,000-strong orc infantry is the largest force that Lightning's forces can control in the past half a month.
Now that they have been defeated and their deputy commanders have been captured alive, this also means that unless the orcs resend their generals from the base camp, they will have to withdraw from the front line and turn back.
The interrogation lasted almost a whole day, and although the external reconnaissance and vigilance did not slacken, after the loss of the shaman, the remaining orc troops did begin to disperse, which almost confirmed that what Lightning said was basically reliable.
The result of the interrogation undoubtedly made everyone very happy, and if Lightning's words were true, it would mean that they would be relaxed for a long time without worrying about any further attacks.
Because it takes at least two months to travel back and forth from here to the base camp of the beast clan, such a long time is destined to be difficult for the beast clan to transfer troops from the base camp.
If the troops are withdrawn from the front line, then it actually means that the final operational purpose of this exam has been achieved, and the exam will end at that time.
For the next week, there was no movement on the orc's side, and the elven fleet remained silent on the sea, which seemed to indicate that this possibility was becoming more and more likely.
The interrogation of Lightning continued uninterruptedly, but as the situation became clearer and the main questions were almost finished, everyone's interest in the shaman became less and less, so much so that by the third week, some of the squad leaders had even asked boring questions about the orcs' usual hobbies and what books they liked to read.
Lightning's cooperation saved everyone's time, although some people regretted that they couldn't use the torture methods that had been prepared for a long time, but they did treat lightning favorably, three meals a day, and water and meat would not be less.
Of course, they can't kill or release anyone, no matter what, it's always safe to have such a hostage in their hands.
In the leisure time of up to half a month, others did not have idle, the construction of the defense tower was once again put on the agenda, after seeing the role of the defense tower in the defensive battle, everyone was more enthusiastic about building the tower, and even some people volunteered to draw the so-called scientific distribution map on the draft map, which was jokingly ridiculed by Chen Zhi as playing a tower defense game.
However, it is true that the scope of the defense tower is no longer limited to the base of the mountain, and the half-baked squad leaders of the temporary command also realize that they need to make the battlefield larger, but the squad leaders are arguing again about whether to build a defense tower on the beach.
The purpose of building the tower on the beach is self-evident, it is to target the silver fleet whose intentions are always unknown, but there are also those who fear that this will provoke the elves to take the initiative in self-defense, and then it will only make them unlucky.
