Volume 6 In the World Chapter 669 Dwarves (Part 2)
The orcs did not pursue him. "Bloodhorn" Malas had already thought of the next tactics. On the contrary, he ordered the remaining orcs to continue to attack the hill.
So after losing their commander, the remaining six thousand human troops were completely annihilated, and no one escaped.
The orcs celebrated their victory. They stripped the knights' corpses naked and hung countless heads on their bodies. Hundreds of headless human corpses were piled higher than the mountain.
"Uh! Uhhhh! God! Save me! Save me!"
A young knight errant was crawling around in the muddy water. In despair, he prayed wildly to all the human gods.
"Despicable maggots, incompetent humans!"
"Blood Horn" Malas walked behind him and opened his bloody mouth.
"Wow! No! No!" The knight errant was grabbed by his hind legs and dragged deep into the dark forest.
There, a grand evil festival is about to begin, and the living knights will be sacrificed to the beast gods in exchange for their gifts.
"Next step, Army Castle."
The next morning, Sir Adelaide finally returned to Castle Castle with a small number of people, but Castle Castle was immediately besieged by a large orc army numbering more than 13,000.
Castle interior, tower hall.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Why is the weather starting to clear up again at this time?"
Sir Adelaide hit the wooden table hard with his hand. He had not slept for two days and his energy seemed to be very poor.
"Damn it, there are too many orcs, and it's impossible for the defenders to defend this place."
Junku Castle is located between the ferries. It has excellent defensive performance and a large number of defensive equipment, but this cannot cover up the lack of defenders.
The more than 200 people who followed Sir Adelaide to break out of the siege returned to Castle Castle with only more than 100 left. There were only dozens of knights and 1,000 defenders in the castle. They could not survive the fierce attack of the orcs.
to defend this castle.
A knight came in from outside and said anxiously: "My Lord, without reinforcements, we are doomed!"
"Then what can we do? We can only defend this castle! The only good news is that General Francois has led the army and is heading back!"
Through the windows of the tower, Jazz could see the countless orc armies surrounding the castle, and the darkness stretched to the end of the line of sight.
General Francois must rush back to rescue Castle Castle.
Because there is a large amount of military supplies and most of the food and grass piled there, the food and grass for the Storm Fortress need to be supplied by the Army Castle.
It can be seen from this that Sir Adelaide, who suffered such a disastrous defeat, was scolded by General Francois.
"Adelaide, you are such a stupid bastard, a shameless scum, a disgrace to the knights, and a blessing to the orcs!
How on earth could you lose an army of more than 15,000 people in one night?"
In the magic communication, General Francois scolded Lord Adelaide.
"It's not my fault! My general, this is obviously a spy who lied about the military situation! I said there was nothing unusual, so I safely transported him, but he was accidentally ambushed!"

Sir Adelaide immediately defended himself.
"We'll talk about this later. I'm telling you, hold on for three days. After three days, you will get reinforcements!"
General Francois knew that he had to return reinforcements, so he ordered the army to turn around and return to the original road to Chateau de l'Army.
Francois didn't know how many orcs came. He and his army had just fought hard for a day and night, and finally managed to repel the ambushing orc army.
But the exact number of the orc army is unknown to Francois, because there is no information about the rangers he sent, including a precious mage.
François had a bad premonition that Castle Castle was going to be lost, and the most convenient transportation route between Storm Fortress and the outside world would be gone.
Thinking of this ending, Francois's face turned blue and white. If it ended up like this, how would he explain it to the Grosse Grande?
etc.
Francois suddenly felt that he still had a chance.
Isn't this the decisive battle I want?
If you can completely wipe out this orc army outside Junku Castle, then even if you lose Junku Castle, it will not be considered a failure.
As long as Adelaide holds on for three days, once his own army arrives, he should cooperate inside and outside. The military book says that under attack from two sides, the orcs will not be able to hold on for a long time.
That’s right! The key to turning defeat into victory is right here!
Francois led an army of less than 10,000 people and began to return.
In fact, although Francois's army was smaller in number than Adelaide's, they were all professional soldiers.
Most of Adelaide's men were serf soldiers, so they were defeated by the orcs' ambush.
"After Adelaide's foolish defeat, our war has been lost."
Francois said bitterly, he really wished that Adelaide had died in the battle.
"There is no other way now. We must go back to support Junku Castle, where a large amount of military supplies are stored, as well as food for the army!"
Francois's adjutant was very worried and said anxiously:

"There are only a thousand defenders and dozens of knights in Junku Castle. They can't hold on for long in the face of the orc army."
"You mean we just go on a forced march?"
Francois thought for a moment and asked his adjutant Pierre for his opinion.
Pierre nodded immediately:
"We must act as soon as possible. Storm Fortress does not have the supplies from Castle Castle, and there will definitely be a gap in the material reserves. You must know that once the main force of the orcs goes south, the war may take years."
Francois nodded in agreement first.
But Francois thought for a while and shook his head suddenly:
"No, no, Pierre, you said, we can think of this level, can't the orcs think of it? Do you know what tactics I thought of?"
"The orcs will besiege the Army Castle, but they will not attack by force. Instead, they will let Adelaide and his group of soldiers tremble and panic in the tall castle. Then, the orcs will most likely attack us.
Set an ambush on the way back and catch us by surprise!"
Francois graduated from the Knight Academy of Albrex. He has very outstanding attainments in tactics. He is sensitively aware that if he wants to return to the reinforcements of Castle Castle as soon as possible, they want it, and the orcs also want it.

"Continue to send out a large number of scouts, no matter the cost, so that we can know whether there is an ambush nearby as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" the knights responded loudly.
Sure enough, during the march of the next two days, relying on a large number of scout rangers to conduct reconnaissance at all costs, the scouts discovered ambush many times, and the army was able to advance cautiously.
Under the command of Francois, the army steadily embarked on its return journey.
"Bloodhorn" Malas immediately realized that humans were already prepared for an ambush, so he changed his strategy and began to attack Fort Junku with all his strength.
One by one, the orc warriors, driven by the orc commander, attacked Junkubao.
The orcs with poor equipment and combat power cut down the forest and made simple ladders. The huge ogres grabbed stones and used slings to suppress the archers on the tower.
Sir Adelaide was hiding anxiously inside the tower. Every scream and the sound of hard objects hitting outside would make the Sir collapse.
In one daytime attack, the castle lost more than a dozen knights and more than 200 serf soldiers.
Fortunately, the gate of the castle was strong enough, and the orcs lacked powerful siege weapons. After today's strong attack, relying on the continuous sacrifice and death protection of the knights and soldiers, the orcs retreated leaving the corpses on the ground.
At night, humans need to rest, but orcs do not, so the anxious Sir Adelaide immediately grabbed the magic communication:
"My general, my general, it's already the night of the third day, where are the reinforcements we agreed on?"
"The orcs have set up a lot of ambushes on the march! We must move forward carefully, Adelaide. The orcs will not attack you with all their strength."
Francois's confused voice came from the magic communication.
"No! The beastmen are attacking Fort Junku with all their strength! They are attacking Fort Junku with all their strength!"
Adelaide shouted towards the magic communicator frantically: "Listen, my general, that is the sound of my soldiers and I resisting!"
The roars of the orcs and the sound of boulders hitting the stone wall could be heard outside the city tower. It was obvious that after a short rest, another round of the orcs' offensive was about to begin.
"What? Hello? Adelaide? Can you hear me? Hold on, hold on, we will arrive in one day at most!"
Francois immediately realized that the situation on the battlefield had changed.
The orcs had given up ambushing them on the road and instead stormed the castle.

So he immediately ordered the army to quickly break out of camp and speed back to the reinforcements in Castle Castle.
Along the way, Earl Adelaide called for help one after another, each time more critical than before. The orcs continued to attack the military castle, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
