“Kill!”
“Bang!”
“Chi!”
A mixed Northern Route Army soldiers and orc warriors fought together. The ground was covered with corpses, a small half of which were orcs, and some were the corpses of human soldiers, half-elves and kobolds. Some kobolds Human corpses were even blown away and hung on branches.
And because the orcs were powerful and used blunt weapons, the corpses in the forest looked a bit tragic, with red and white objects mixed on the ground, but the soldiers of the Northern Route Army who fought with them did not look timid at all. , although there is no unicorned holy beast that suddenly appears to help in this battle, the mixed team with war dancers and phantom shooters is not weak to begin with. Coupled with the recent continuous victories, the morale of the entire army has been improved. If the vibration reaches the extreme, even a few casualties can deter it.
The orcs’ previous tactics of deliberately creating horrific scenes to frighten the human soldiers were completely ineffective here, and instead aroused the ferocity of the human soldiers even more.
An orc soldier just knocked down two Northern Route Army soldiers with great force. Their helmets were dented by the smash, and blood came out from the gaps in the helmets. They fell to the ground with no possibility of survival. But the soldiers around him showed no intention of retreating. The nearest soldier had taken advantage of the orc to swing his battle ax and pulled out the thin sword from his waist and stabbed it at the waist of the orc warrior. The armor on the side of the waist was already weak. In addition, the cone-shaped rapier was designed to pierce armor, and the rapier pierced the orc warrior in one blow.
“Ah!”
The orc warrior screamed in pain, and the human soldier who thrust out the rapier was considered experienced. The moment the rapier penetrated, he let go and dodged. The angry orc warrior turned around and tried to muster some strength to kill him in a sneak attack. However, he saw that the other party had already slipped out several steps away.
“Kill!”
The soldiers of the Northern Route Army did not give the orc warriors a chance to show off their power. Two long soldiers directly held the orc warriors up. The surrounding warriors swarmed up with their shields and chopped down the injured orc warriors to the ground.
“Whoosh!”
“Ah!”
“Retreat! Retreat!”
The arrows of the Phantom Archer flew out one after another. The orcs who were shot were either dead or seriously injured. The armor on the ordinary orc warriors was basically a decoration for the arrows shot by the Phantom Archer. . Coupled with the almost 100% hit rate of the phantom shooter, once the battle between the two sides falls into a stalemate, the orcs can only wait to be slowly harvested by the phantom shooter. Therefore, seeing that there is no chance of approaching the phantom shooter, the orc commander can only order despite the casualties. Withdrew.
“Kill!”
Watching the orcs retreating, the soldiers of the Northern Route Army became more morale. They chased for dozens of meters before retreating amidst the sharp whistle of the command. Everyone had joy on their faces. They were not easy to kill before. The orcs are now easily transformed into military heroes.
In the dense forest, the Northern Route Army was still advancing vigorously. Under the command of Gru, the unicorn holy beast was rampaging through the forest as a quick-response support force. If the orc army was small, it would be impossible to stop the unicorn holy beast. Even better, what they will face immediately is Gru’s concentrated military attack, and the casualties of the orc warriors will be even more severe.
…
Compared to the atmosphere on the human side, the atmosphere on the orc side is much heavier.
“General, the seventh capital was all killed in battle, and was shot in the back by a human sharpshooter during the retreat. The ninth and tenth capitals also suffered heavy losses.”
“General, the fifth capital encountered the Unicorn when ambushing the human army. The entire army was almost wiped out, and only a few soldiers escaped.”
“Order the law enforcement team to execute any soldier who escapes without an order immediately!”
“Yes, General!!”
One after another bad news was sent back, either asking for help or simply reporting the news of the annihilation of the entire army. In two days, Qi Erwei’s flag regiment had been reduced by more than half. If it weren’t for the strict military laws of the orcs and the peace and harmony When fighting against an old enemy like human beings, the average army should collapse at this casualty rate, instead of struggling to hold on now.
If we continue to fight at this casualty rate, even if the orcs can fight to the last soldier, they will not be able to sustain it for too long. According to the current battle loss ratio, the orcs and the Northern Route Army will not even make a one-to-one exchange. No, this also includes races like kobolds, which most of the time cannot be counted among the casualties.
“Is there no news from the leader of the Resado Banner?”
“No, there is still no human supply team found on General Resado’s side.”
“How is that possible!”
Qilwei, who has always been calm, couldn’t help but lose his composure. He couldn’t understand that according to the food that human beings currently carry alone, it is only enough for one day at most. If the human supply team does not send the food up, now human beings will No matter how fierce the army fights, they will still have to eat food after starving for a whole day.
It would be wrong to say that the human supply team moves through other routes. They are much more familiar with the roads in this dense forest than humans. Except for the road where Resado ambushed, which can barely transport some supplies, other small roads are How can we send supplies if it is difficult for the team to pass through?
The opposing commander completely forgot about supplies? Unless the opposing commander is stupid. No, even if the opposing commander is stupid, his subordinates will remind him that if the supplies cannot keep up, the human army should stop and wait, instead of not weakening the offensive intensity as it is now.
No matter how Qilwei adjusts his tactics now, the effect is minimal. The task force cooperates with the Dragon Xinguan Army that comes up in rotation to support, plus the unicorn holy beast galloping, the orc army can’t even parry now. With nothing left, they could only rely on their familiarity with the terrain to deal with the Northern Route Army, but the losses were getting bigger and bigger. Qilwei could only hope that humans would collapse on their own due to lack of supplies.
“Order the Eleventh and Twelfth to go up and support, we must delay the human race for two more days!”
“It’s the general!”
Both of these two were sent back for rest after losing more than half of their value. Now they will be sent out again in less than a day. Obviously, Qilwei is running out of cards.
…
North Road Army.
“Report to Sir Richard! General Gru said that the army can continue to move forward. The forest in front has been cleared!”
“Yeah.”
“General Gru is really a fierce general. I dare not say anything else. I have never seen anyone in Longxing Pass who can match General Gru’s ability in jungle warfare.”
When warriors go to the battlefield, their thoughts will become simpler, and they will not be afraid of offending others when they speak. They will step on other people by the way.
“Yes, Master Gru’s strength and commanding ability should be at the top of the entire kingdom.”
The people around him also drank in response. It was not a compliment. The strength and command ability shown by Gru in the past few days were obvious to all. Even before the unicorn holy beast entered the battle, it was suppressed by the orcs and could not hold their heads up. Come on, not to mention that now that the unicorn holy beast has joined the war, the orcs basically have no power to fight back, and the army does not even feel hindered at all as it marches.
Only the heroes recruited in the tavern reacted indifferently. Gru was not a general with a low reputation in their hearts. He was a famous general who had already achieved great power on the mainland. Now his performance in this dense forest can only be It’s just a routine operation.
“Okay, don’t rest for the army. Order all armies to keep moving forward!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Keep going!”
“Keep going!”
The generals under his command shouted loudly! The soldiers also moved very quickly, and soon the army continued to march along the road cleared by Gru.
Because of the recent victories, all the generals in the army are in a good mood at this time, especially the generals who came to support from Longxingguan, including phantom shooters, unicorn holy beasts and giant dragons, especially the independent generals. Horned holy beasts and giant dragons, with such fighting power in the past, one of them in the entire army was a treasure and could not be used easily. Human dragon knights usually only appeared in a very large battle with only two or three.
Now the giant dragon in the sky, the unicorn holy beast on the ground, and so many knight-level sharpshooters have never fought such a grand battle. They are now full of confidence in the next battle, looking at the current casualties. Bi, it seems that going to the plateau to act as a bait is no longer a matter of narrow escape? In addition, the morale is high, so the mobility is naturally strong at this moment.
Of course, even when everyone was in high spirits, there were still some people who were a little worried. Although Richard repeatedly said that there was no need to worry about logistics, the army’s supplies were only enough for one day, and there was no food replenishment. The careful General Commander I will feel a little worried.
…
“Sir Richard, the army only has enough food and grass for one day. If we don’t get replenishment, the soldiers will be hungry until the day after tomorrow at most.”
During the march, Alsi couldn’t help but remind Richard again. Although Richard still looked confident, this time Richard gave General Alsi a task.
“General Arsi, don’t worry about food and grass. Now you can bring some people to open up a larger open space. Food will come soon.”
“This…is, Lord Richard!”
“Third Flag Regiment, send two of them to follow me!”
Although Alsi was still a little confused, he was still unambiguous about the execution of the order. He quickly followed Richard’s order and led people to find a suitable terrain and start cutting down trees.
…
Dragon Scale Castle
With the Northern Route Army’s expedition, the military fort at the forefront of the northern line of Longxing Pass was no longer as crowded as before. Only an army of more than 10,000 people remained behind, and the surrounding military forts were vacant.
Compared with the hustle and bustle some time ago, Dragon Scale Castle has become a little deserted recently, but today, Dragon Scale Castle has become a little livelier again.
“Dragon!”
“The dragon is back!”
No matter how many times they see it, most humans will feel an inexplicable excitement when they see a giant dragon. The descent of more than 20 giant dragons from the sky instantly broke the recent peace of Dragon Scale Castle. The soldiers standing on the wall were unconscious. shouted.
The giant dragon, led by an ancient black dragon, crossed the city wall and quickly landed on a huge open space in the Dragon Scale Castle. When it landed, the ancient black dragon instantly transformed into a human form. It glanced at the piles of food and grass in the open space and was satisfied. The nodded.

(Happy New Year everyone!)
