Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 767 Honors (Part 2)
Most of the small groups of orcs encountered the chasing knights and the army under Vladimir. The scattered orcs were quickly overtaken and slaughtered by the pursuers.
Some of them were chopped down or stabbed, bleeding and left in the ice and snow to freeze to death. Some were simply captured and handed over to the prairie people.
The angry prairie people chopped them into pieces alive to comfort their dead compatriots and their destroyed hometown.
Four days later, Hal Eternal Eye and his army finally arrived at the ruins of the former Dragon Court in the northern part of the grassland. Although there were only more than 6,000 people left in the army, the Eternal Eye still wanted to gather this army and preserve its structure.
It took a lot of effort.
It originally thought it could stay here for a while, but bad information came one after another, so the Eternal Eye had to order to continue retreating.
The coalition forces are attacking in all directions, and the Third Army of the Holy Empire in the east has defeated the Stika Army of the Death Champion in the upper reaches of the Ergun River.
In the west, the First Army of Laun, Grand Master of the Holy Grail Knights, also regained the northern grasslands and searched the body of God's Chosen Skarr. Bloodfury was seriously injured again, and his army directly went to sea and fled to the North Pole. The situation is becoming increasingly serious.
The worse.
The encirclement is gradually tightening, and what's even more terrible is that Fiona, the Grand Duchess of the Shire, Iros, "The Sorrow of the Beast King" and their troops are also coming quickly.
"The Sorrow of the Beast King" is the name that the orcs privately gave Iros, because in their eyes, Dranos, who were arrogant and undefeated, fell from their hands, cutting off the orcs' hope of rising, so there was such a name
Name.
However, the Death Chosen had a thorough understanding of the situation but lacked the ability to make a decisive decision. It stayed hesitantly in the ruins of the Dragon Court for five days, and it was only after it was confirmed that it could not receive any reinforcements that it made up its mind to retreat.
How could Duke Otto miss this opportunity?
While the orc army was still in a daze in the ruins of the Dragon Court, Duke Otto's army was already marching quickly along the path with the help of the natives of the grassland.
Then, with the help of local people who were familiar with the local geography, we found a strong enough ice-covered shoal and walked around to the front of Hal.
When the orc army set off and continued to try to retreat to the north bank of the Ergun River, Duke Otto's 15,000-strong army was already waiting on the other bank.
The Battle of the Ergun River began.
The two sides fought for three days and three nights in knee-deep snow.
In order to cover the retreat of the Death Chosen, two teams of Death-believing Orc Warriors, three teams of Orc Predator Champion Warriors, a total of more than 400 Orc Wolf Cavalry, including the infamous "Maw of the Wild" war group launched a suicidal charge
, forced their way into the solid front of the Abrekes, and were eventually almost completely destroyed.
After three days and three nights, a hole was opened in Duke Otto's solid front line, and the remaining orc army desperately broke through the blockade and escaped toward the northwest.
Duke Otto gave up the pursuit at the last moment because he and his army were extremely exhausted and suffering from the heavy snow, low temperature and continuous battles.
Deep down in his heart, Duke Otto was unwilling to fight to the death. He did not want Albrex's army to suffer too many losses.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of the Ergun River. Duke Otto's army lost more than 2,000 people, most of whom were not killed in battle but died of disease and severe cold.
The losses of the orc army were even greater. When the Death Chosen finally broke out of the blockade and fled into the forest in the northern part of the grassland, only more than 800 people were left in the original team of more than 6,000 people, and all the wolf cavalry were lost.
and most of the troops.
Duke Otto finally achieved his wish and achieved his own glory.
In early April, Duke Otto's Second Army and Vladimir's army arrived at the deserted Erengrad Wasteland, officially announcing that this land had been recaptured from the hands of the orcs!
The heraldic banner of unicorns and iris flutters over the wasteland of Erlengrad!
When Duke Otto's army entered the Erengrad Wasteland, Fiona and Iros' army also arrived at the ruins of the Dragon Court on the south bank of the Ergun River where they had fought fiercely before.
Fiona's long cloak swept across the snow, leaving the entire land with an extremely unsettling sight.
There were corpses everywhere on the snowfield. Duke Otto's army had no time to bury the corpses and cremate them. The end result was that the most important thing this 10,000-man army did during the Northern Expedition was to bury and cremate various corpses, and Yulu
Yisi leads the priestesses of the Lake God in prayer to drive away the corruption.
"Come! Come! Hurry up! Move quickly!"
Goodwin, the deputy leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, ordered the two storm swordsmen to move faster. The Grand Duchess's carriage broke down in the muddy swamp, and one of its wheels fell off.
Now the four knights are carrying Fiona's luxurious carriage together, and the Storm Swordsmen are putting the wheels back on the dirt.
This carriage was not brought by Fiona for pleasure, but was prepared for female mages like Ekaterina with a weak constitution.
Most of the time, Fiona led by example and kept riding on horseback.
"Duke Otto has entered the Erengrad Wasteland?"
Today, Ekaterina is wearing a Nurgoth crimson silk suspender dress, with a thick winter white fox fur trench coat on top, and a black and gold velvet cape with a black background and gold on top.
The heraldic pattern of two lions shines brightly.
Ekaterina is not as tall as Fiona, but her proportions are equally well proportioned. She has spent a lot of energy getting into shape since coming to the Shire.
The slender white calves under the long skirt are wrapped in black thickened velvet pantyhose, and stepped on black suede short boots. The slightly raised arches of the feet and the slender and petite stocking ankles form a graceful arc, sexy and petite white
The toes are pressed together, showing dexterity and dignity.
"um, yes."
Iros gave the battle report to Catherine, which contained Duke Otto's report on the process of these wars.
Ekaterina took a quick look and realized that the female mage was actually not very good at military affairs, but she certainly couldn't show weakness in front of Iros:
"The fight was very good. Now the orc army in the entire Kansas grassland, at least in the upper reaches of the Erengrad Wasteland, has been wiped out."
Iros just smiled when he heard this. He was familiar with Ekaterina. While watching the two soldiers putting all their efforts on the wheels of the carriage, he motioned for Ekaterina to continue.
"It's just a bit conservative. Duke Otto had two chances to completely wipe out Hal Eternal Eye's army."
Sure enough, Ekaterina still had something to say, and the female mage took the battle report:
"The first time was when he was chasing in the forest, he retreated when faced with the appearance of the army of Death's servants.
The second time was the Battle of the Ergun River. Facing the Orc Legion with less than 1,000 men who had to cross the river from 6,000, Duke Otto could obviously lead the knights in pursuit in person, but he gave up again, too
Conservative."
Iros still smiled and said nothing.
Yekaterina suddenly felt that her intelligence was being despised. The female mage stamped her feet, splashing a large amount of snowflakes, and said softly:
"This style of play is too conservative. He always leaves a little tail at the end. He is conserving his strength!"
