Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"kill!"

After a fire burned all kinds of equipment in the orc camp, Talis and Sir Mrak led the champion knight and the one-horned holy beast to break through with all their strength.

At this time, the orc army had not had time to encircle, and most of the more than 100,000 troops were still in a state of confusion. Because Sean's death was so sudden and it was in the middle of the night, the orcs of each legion only knew that the camp had been raided by humans, and most of them didn't realize the seriousness of the matter before Taris and others set fire to it.

Knowing that the raging fire was ignited from the engineering battalion, and the fire light illuminated half of the night sky, the regiment commanders of the orc legions realized that something was wrong.

At this moment, Sean was killed in battle again, and the same scheduling cannot be carried out. The actions of each legion depend on the reaction speed of their respective legion leaders. The faster ones have brought some elites close to the center of the fire, while the slower ones have not yet started. action.

It is not a big mistake to be cautious at night, but this caution has left a great breakthrough for the cavalry of Talis. Originally, the orcs had the opportunity to use the numerical advantage of the army to keep the cavalry of Talis, at least causing some damage. Casualties, but the actions of the army in the orc camp were a little out of touch at this time. Talis led the cavalry to keenly find the loopholes in the orc army, and barely collided with the orc army of the brigade. After solving a few small troops blocking the way, he rushed out of the orc camp. All that was left was a messy orc camp, and a group of orc officers who hadn't realized what was going on.

...

Morning light

The sun slowly illuminated the entire orc camp, and the orc army that had been in chaos in the middle of the night had basically restored order at this time. Under the orders of the officers, all legions counted the number of casualties and missing people.

The direct casualties caused by Talis and others to the orcs last night were not too many, including the injured, only a few thousand casualties were caused. Although this number seems not small, considering the strength of this cavalry team The lowest one also exists at the earth level, so the number of casualties is not difficult to accept.

The downsizing of thousands of people, to the army of more than 100,000 orcs, is said to be a pain in the flesh, but it is not enough to hurt the muscles and bones. It will not play a decisive role in the direction of this war. It will really let the orcs What is uncomfortable is that a large number of siege equipment was burned and Sean was killed.

"Master Legion, we have found Lord Sean!"

"Where is it, take me there to have a look!"

Although many soldiers saw the scene of Sean's death in the night battle, several orc army leaders still held the attitude of seeing people alive and dead, and strictly ordered the soldiers to find Sean's body. It may not be easy to find the corpse of an ordinary soldier among the messy corpses, but it is still very easy to find a commander-level general like Sean. Not long after dawn, the orc soldiers found the dead body of Sean in a pile of corpses. Head's body, and soon found Sean's head nearby.

"Lord Sean!"

The leader of the orc army, led by the soldiers, saw Sean's body that had just been suppressed, and couldn't help but rushed forward and howled.

As a warrior protecting the country, Sean has been in charge of the Royal Guards for many years, and he has a high prestige among these orc officers. Seeing Sean's body at this time, he somewhat revealed his true feelings.

"Head of the Sidney Legion, restrain Lord Sien now, we have more important matters to deal with."

At the beginning, when the orc warriors around saw the commander of the Sidney Army crying, they could only watch dryly, and even wept together under some influence.

It wasn't until another orc army leader came over that Sydney's meaningless crying was stopped.

"Um."

Sidney bent over and stood up after wiping the blood on Sean's face for a while. Just now, he was just a little bit out of control because of the series of failures of the army.

As a senior general, he quickly adjusted his mentality after being reminded by his colleagues, but he did not take the words of the other army commander for the time being.

"Lord Russ, wait a moment."

"Where is the captain of Lord Sean's personal guard?"

"He also died in battle last night."

"What about the soldiers of the Guards?"

"Most of them died in battle, and a few collapsed in the battle, and they haven't recovered yet."

"Master Sean is dead. What face do these personal guards have to live? I have ordered that all deserters of the personal guards be executed."

"Yes, Sir Sydney!"

When Sidney gave an order, hundreds of heads fell to the ground. It stands to reason that Sidney is not qualified to execute the soldiers of the pro-guard army. He can only govern the troops of his own legion.

It's just that now that Sean is dead, and Sidney is the only surviving army commander of the Great Earth Rank, and the other army commander Russ is only at the peak of a great warrior, which is a full size behind Sidney. At this time, Sidney's right to speak in the army is almost the most among several legion commanders, and no one will go against his will on such a "small matter".

After Sidney arbitrarily decided the life and death of hundreds of guards, the few remaining orc army commanders also entered the big tent to discuss the next action.

Originally there were eleven people to sit in the large tent, but now only five people were seated, and only these five people are left who are qualified to participate in the military council at this level. A legion commander, the attack on Dragonscale Fort in the past two days and the night battle last night, killed two more legion commanders, and even the chief general Sean died unexpectedly in the battle. The big tent is now empty, which makes people feel a little stuck.

What made the few remaining orc army commanders even more frustrated was the current situation.

"How much food and grass are there?"

"Because of the isolation of Dragonscale Fort, the food hoarded in the dense forest cannot be delivered. No matter how much food and grass in the army are saved, it can only be used for three days at most."

Insufficient food and grass is something that several legion leaders expected. If there is enough food and grass, they will not withdraw to break through Dragonscale Fort. They should be besieging Dragon Wing City at this moment. I prepared in my heart that even after three days, the army would be hungry, the faces of several legion commanders still showed no abnormalities.

"How much of our siege equipment is left?"

"Almost all of them were burned last night. There is still one well rail that can be used, and a small number of salvaged ladders."

When it came to the damage of the siege equipment, several orc commanders in the big tent showed bitter faces almost at the same time. Without the siege equipment, they almost declared that it was impossible for them to take down the Dragonscale Fort. Let's climb the city wall with your hands. The ten-meter-high city wall of Dragon Scale Fort is not so easy for even warrior-level experts to climb up.

Trapped completely in the enemy's territory, no food, no siege equipment, no possibility of breaking through the enemy's blockade, and the main general has just died. In most cases, I am afraid that this army will consider surrendering. .

However, several orc army leaders in the big tent, and even all the orc warriors outside, would not consider surrendering. They can run away as deserters, but it is absolutely impossible to surrender to humans.

The feud between the two clans, the result of surrender is almost certain, human captives never have a good end to the orcs, and if this orc army surrenders to Gru, Gru will definitely not keep them, killing and surrendering is his only choice.

After ruling out the option of surrender, no matter how difficult the next battle is, we must find a way to continue.

"Now after excluding the wounded, we still have 130,000 soldiers, and we still have the strength to fight."

"Unfortunately, humans will not give us a chance to fight."

Now that the orc army is trapped in a desperate situation, as long as Gru has no problem with his brain, he will not take the initiative to attack again. When these orcs are hungry for another week, and they can't even hold their weapons, they will lead the army to launch an attack, wouldn't it? Is it an easy thing?

"We have to find a way to break through."

"Where do we go? Can we take down the Dragon Scale Fort in front of us or the Dragon Wing City behind us?"

"We can bypass Dragonscale Fort and go back through the woods."

"Bypass Dragonscale Fort?"

"The detour will take at least ten days, and the army's food is only enough for three days, and besides the road of Dragonscale Fort, other places are not suitable for the army to pass through, so it is almost impossible to detour."

"What if we give up part of the army?"

When Sidney said these words, the entire big tent fell silent, and the four legion commanders all focused on Sidney at the same time, and they hadn't thought about the detour plan.

The main problem is that, to bypass the forest, firstly, it is difficult for the army to pass through smoothly, and secondly, the remaining food and grass are not enough to support them to bypass, so this plan was rejected directly from the heart.

But at this time, Sidney brought up this plan again, and also proposed a vicious and quite feasible plan.

Sidney was stared at by four people, and he didn't have any timidity. The so-called kindness does not command soldiers. Most of the senior generals who can occupy this position will only treat the troops under them as a bargaining chip, rather than a living life. To give up on them, it just depends on whether the chips in exchange are suitable.

Now, it's time to give up some people.

"What does Lord Sydney want to do?"

After being quiet for a while, Russ, another orc leader, broke the silence.

"All the food and grass in the generals are gathered. You go back and pick out some elites, take no more than 30,000 people with you, and leave separately. The rest leave a small amount of food and grass for them and let the head of the Devi Army lead them to fight against humans. .”

Sidney's determination in this plan is not insignificant. It is equivalent to directly abandoning the 100,000 army and fleeing with a small number of elites. Letting them stay and fight with humans is just a matter of appearances. Apart from Dragon Wing City and Dragon Scale Fort, there is not even a single human in sight. If there is any siege equipment, they can't find anyone even if they try their best. They say they will stay and wait to die. More relevant.

This is not called tail-docking to survive, it is simply cutting off half of the body to survive, but this crazy plan was not opposed by any of the legion leaders below, and they all remained silent.

Silence is an acquiescence, but if there is still a way, they are unwilling to accept this plan, but at this time the army has reached the end of the mountain, and it is better to leave with a part of the elite than to starve to death here.

Seeing that there was no objection, Sidney did not delay much, and immediately said:

"We're running out of time. The matter of taking away the food must be kept secret. Now go back to the legion to pick people up, and we're leaving tonight."

"good…"

The few legion commanders who had remained silent at first finally accepted Sidney's order.

"It's just the head of the Devi army..."

There is another key to this plan of breaking the body to survive. It is necessary to have an officer with sufficient prestige to stabilize the situation, especially to keep the camp stable for a period of time after they leave and leave, otherwise they will not be able to make a detour. It may directly cause a big crash.

The five legion commanders present are all valuable forces, so it is naturally impossible to stay among the 100,000 abandoned army. The most suitable person to take up this important task is the seriously injured Dewei.

Devi was originally an imperial warrior of the orcs, equivalent to a master of the earth rank, and he was also the most powerful among the ten orc army commanders, and his strength and prestige were even higher than that of Sidney.

However, he was seriously injured in the battle, and he is still being treated in the big tent of the witch doctor. He has almost lost all his strength. Now he can barely move, and he may not even be able to beat an ordinary orc warrior.

But what Sidney needs at this moment is not the opponent's strength, but the opponent's status and prestige...

"I'll go find Lord Devi personally, and you all make preparations to make sure you can leave on time at night."

…

A camp in the southwest corner of the orc camp.

"This medicine is too bitter!"

"I'm dying and I'm afraid of suffering, so drink it!"

"Cough cough! There are ants in your medicine!"

"Whether you like to drink or not!"

…

"ah!"

Almost all the wounded in the orc army gathered here, and before they approached, they smelled a strong smell of medicine. Occasionally, there would be one or two horrible screams. It should be the witch doctor healing the wounded.

The wounded who can come here are already considered lucky, at least in the eyes of the witch doctor, they still have the value of treatment. More wounded on the battlefield died in despair without any chance of treatment.

In addition to several large tents in the camp, there is a separate tent. The person receiving treatment in it is Devi, the leader of the orc army. With the strength of the earth rank, Devi is finally out of danger. After a period of recuperation, I was even able to walk a few steps.

But at this time, the witch doctor was driven out of the tent, and there were only two orcs left in it.

"I didn't expect you, Sidney, to have such courage."

Sitting in the tent, Devi couldn't help sighing after listening to Sidney's plan. Although he was seriously injured, he still understood the current crisis very well. Not a solution.

"The plan still needs the help of Lord Devi."

"Just go ahead and execute it, I will try my best to hold it steady here in Daying."

"Thank you Lord Devi!"

Sidney's thanks were sincere, after all Devi was asked to stay and sacrifice in order to give them a chance of survival.

"You don't need to thank me, your plan finally makes me feel that it has some effect."

Sidney was no longer pretentious, and turned to leave after nodding to Devi.

After seeing Sydney leave, Devi also picked up the battle ax in the tent and went outside, and two soldiers who had been guarding not far away rushed over immediately.

"Master Legion Commander!"

"Come on, put on my armor!"
