Volume 6 In the World Chapter 678 Night Surprise Attack (End...
After destroying the Demonic Rock, Gabriel and the others could predict that the orcs would enter into internal fighting, and the coalition forces took advantage of this opportunity to retreat calmly.
After only one day of walking, the woodland lord Delina led her army to say goodbye:
"A good fight, Paladin, but it's time for us to retreat."
In just two days, the alliance between the resolute and tenacious Shire knights and the brave and capable high elves proved to be a wise choice.
Although most knights are still reluctant to hand over their backs to these notorious aliens, after fighting side by side this time, their impressions of the high elves have also changed.
"We are very honored to receive your support. This is our luck. Perhaps you can go to Storm Fortress with us to recover. Archduke Gros will definitely be rewarded, and humans will understand your role in the war."
Gabriel made a move to stay.
"Destroying the Demonic Rock is our best reward. We don't want too many people to know our existence."

The woodland lord declined Gabriel's offer to stay:
"You have received our support, and some of my people have also paid the price with their lives. This is enough. Don't you think it's not enough, Sir Gabriel?"
"I am very grateful for your help to me. I will always remember your kindness in my heart. We will have a chance to meet again, right? In my territory."
Gabriel knew that the high elves had decided to leave, so he no longer tried to persuade them to stay.
The army of high elves disappeared into the forest, leaving behind the fully loaded human army.
There are more than 4,600 people left in this army.ωωw..net
In other words, this is the last number of people left to stop the orc army.
There were approximately 30,000 troops at the beginning of the war, but now only the army led by Gabriel has survived, and more than 24,000 of them have been buried in this grassland forever.
This is equivalent to one-eighth of the entire Shire's military strength.
But they still won, the Rock was destroyed, and Gabriel's victory made the orc victory over the charr army meaningless.

"Lord Gabriel, please don't be so sad. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be able to win."
Adjutant Julian also led his horse and approached from behind:
"In any case, the war has achieved its goal, and I believe those soldiers who died in the battle can rest in peace."
"..."
Gabriel and the others had learned from the scouts that Francois's army had been completely wiped out, and the facts proved that Gabriel's judgment was right.
This army only lasted for one day, not to mention two days.
If Gabriel had chosen to return for reinforcements at that time, one can imagine the outcome. They would have been in a dilemma when they heard the news that Francois's army had been destroyed.
Gabriel's choice proved to be the right one.
"I hope so." Gabriel nodded, knowing that his choice was right.
At least the result of this war was a tragic victory.
At least the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks were destroyed.
Otherwise, at this time next year, half of the principality's army may be deployed near the Kansas grasslands, preparing to face the terrifying beast tide.
As the remaining troops gradually withdrew from the Kansas prairie, the entire principality also learned of the fate of the army.
The army led by General Francois suffered a disastrous defeat and was completely wiped out. Instead, the paladins and the army of suspects led by Gabriel, the recently enfeoffed Baron Jean, completed their assigned mission and brought victory back.
Thirty thousand people went on the expedition and more than 4,000 people came back. The outcome of the war left many nobles not knowing what to say.
The person who reacted most violently to this matter was none other than the Grand Duke of Gross.
After hearing the news, Grand Duke Gros covered his chest with grief and muttered to himself inside the empty palace:
"François? François! Give me back my army, give back my knights..."
Soon, this tragic victory or defeat was forgotten by everyone, because the greater test was yet to come. Only by temporarily forgetting the pain at hand and actively preparing for war could we avoid suffering greater pain in the future.
Time flies so fast and winter has already entered in the blink of an eye.

A few days after the Winter Veil Festival, at the end of December, it snowed heavily in Storm Keep.
The heavy snowfall not only heralds a bumper harvest after the Chinese New Year, but also announces that the military preparations for war in the Principality of the Charles need to be temporarily halted, as the bodies of the serf soldiers are not yet strong enough to train in the heavy snow.
Grand Duke Gros, Gonzalez, Nielas Elan, Duke Otto and Holy Grail Knight Jules were sitting on the balcony admiring the snow. There was a pot of delicious beef stew in the middle of several large armchairs.
vegetable.
"Now there is good news, Grand Duke, the orcs' gathering of troops is much slower than we thought. According to the scout reports, the orcs' attempts to use blood sacrifices to awaken the beast god's servants have failed many times," Gonzalez said.
Grand Duke Gros picked up the wine glass and was thinking about this question:
"Even using the most radical calculation, it would take three months for the orcs to summon and assemble an army of servants, but I don't understand why the orcs still want to assemble an army of servants regardless of the cost.
Because there are enough orcs, and summoning an army of servants requires countless blood and lives?
And even if an orc's life is worthless, it can't be squandered endlessly, Dranosh is not a fool."
"If I give you three months, how strong a defense can you build outside Storm Fortress?" Archduke Gross asked Gonzalez: "To be honest, do what you can."
"In three months, you can only build a wooden wall and wooden sentries at most, and then you can build some defensive facilities, such as pits and trenches."
Gonzales did a little calculation and expressed the expected results: "It is too reluctant to build a stone wall in such a short time, my Grand Duke, and the cost of the stone wall is also very staggering, which will affect the spring plowing.
"
"Well, I understand."
After some thought, Grand Duke Gros gave up his plan to urgently build a wall. The evil army of orcs was different from other armies. A mere wooden wall could not stop these creatures.
