Chapter 289 The last order I received was to stand firm
It turned out that the main force of the Allied forces had retreated towards the wetlands at night.
But here on their left defense line, they never received any order to retreat. This owl was the one she put into the mage team following the main force of the Allied Forces just in case.
Firstly, it can protect the mage and understand the intelligence of nearby enemies. Secondly, it can also allow Allelia to know the general movements of the main Allied force at any time. But even so, if it is not an emergency, usually the ranger over there is
You won't let an owl come here so late.
The battle reached midnight, and the orcs were still unable to capture the left-wing alliance camp. They finally became tired and retreated one after another.
The members of the Elven Expeditionary Legion and the Lordaeron Legion were extremely tired, and many simply fell to the ground to rest.
Alleria is still with Yulin Blood Eagle and has never left him for a moment. She is waiting! Not only for Yulin Blood Eagle to wake up, but also for the order to retreat from the Allied High Command!
An hour later, the Yulin Blood Eagle still hadn't woken up, and there was no order from the Allied High Command. Alleria was filled with anger! It had been so long since nightfall, even if she was crawling to carry out the order.
It's time to come over here. Why is there no order coming?
At this time, Sylvana came over in a hurry, and Alleria handed the note to Sylvanas.
Sylvanas just read the contents of the note, her expression unchanged. She had already received the message quietly sent by Alleria, so she was not surprised, but she turned around to look
Xiang Yulin Blood Eagle.
"How old is he?" Sylvanas asked.
"It started not long after the orcs came in." Alleria said.
"We should immediately send all the mages and Blood Eagle Legion to the landing point in area 4." Sylvanas said.
"Are the mages going too?" Alleria asked.
"Yes, they have all exhausted their magic power today. Only a few senior mages and those old Catherine men are no different, and keeping them will not be of much use. I guess they will not be able to recover before tomorrow night, unless
Drink potions. But there are really not many potions now, and we consumed too much today." Sylvanas said.
"Are the Blood Eagle Legion's casualties heavy?" Alleria asked.
"They had no casualties. They were defending on the second line of arrow platforms. Few orcs could attack them, but all their battle pets died in the battle while helping to block the gap." Sylvanas said.
"If this is the case, I guess there will be no raptors left!" Alleria asked with a wry smile.
"Yes, the orcs attacked very violently this time," Sylvanas said: "If my guess is correct, they will continue to attack tomorrow morning."
"Can the ship he arranged carry more than 3,000 people?" Alleria asked.
"I believe him!" Sylvanas said: "He will find a way!"
"Okay, you go and secretly arrange the mage and the Blood Eagle Legion back to landing point 4, and arrange some gryphon knights to investigate whether there are any orc troops in the area between us and the main force of the Chinese army. I'm worried that the orcs will cut off our retreat.
"
Alleria said: "When the matter is over, come here and take my place. I will go find the commander of the Lordaeron Legion and ask him whether he has received the order to retreat."
Sylvanas spent an hour arranging things before coming back to replace Alleria.
"Everyone left?" Aurelia asked.
Sylvanas nodded and said, "The old man and a few senior mages haven't left yet."
"Why?" Alleria asked.
"They said they would follow him!" Sylvanas said, pointing to the clay sculpture-like Featherwood Blood Eagle.
"Why are you following him?" Aurelia was confused.
"I don't know either. They just said that following him would be fun. You can defeat the orcs at the party and you don't have to leave first." Sylvanas said with a strange wry smile.
...Aurelia was truly speechless.
Alleria found the Legion Commander of the Lordaeron Legion.
"Legion Commander, I need an honest answer from you. Have you received the order from the headquarters to retreat?" Alleria asked angrily.
"Why do you ask that?" The Lordaeron Legion Commander was very surprised.
"You don't need to know why, I just need to know whether it is or not!" Aurelia said coldly.
"No! The last order I received was the reply I received after jointly requesting help with you. Stand your ground!" Lordaeron's legion commander said with certainty.
"Are you sure you are telling the truth?" Aurelia pressed.
"Of course! I can swear it," the Lordaeron Legion Commander said.
"Pop!" Alleria slapped the note on the table and said, "Let's see! The main force of the Allied forces has already withdrawn at dusk!"
The commander of the Lordaeron Legion picked up the note and was stunned when he saw it. After a while, he slapped it hard on the table, and his face turned livid.
The main force retreated, but no one conveyed the retreat order to him. The main force of more than a dozen legions was forced to retreat by seven or eight orcs, but these broken legions were allowed to stick to their positions and block the attack of the two orc legions.
, no doubt they were abandoned.
"Withdraw the troops! Order the withdrawal immediately!" Alleria said.
"I didn't receive any orders to retreat," said the Lordaeron Legion Commander: "The last order I received was to stand firm!"
"Hmph!" Alleria snorted coldly and turned around to leave. Before walking out of the military tent, she suddenly turned back and said, "Legion Commander, you'd better think carefully. This is related to the lives of many people."
After saying that, she left without looking back. She understood him, he was a pure soldier. If she were in Quel'Thalas now, and if the people in the Allied Command were high elves, she would do the same thing as him.
However, now she will not let the thousands of people from the Quel'Thalas Expeditionary Corps die with him. She has decided that if there are orc troop activities in the area between here and the main Allied force, she will immediately order the withdrawal. Lordan
She has no control over whether the legion commander gives the order to withdraw or not, but the Elf Expeditionary Legion must all withdraw.
Looking at Alleria's cold back, the commander of the Lordaeron Army also sat on the chair, his mind blank. Should he order the withdrawal? The lives of thousands of people depended on his decision, and he didn't know that he
What are you thinking about, just sitting quietly like this.
An hour later, his adjutant came in hurriedly.
"Legion Commander, the elves are all packing their gear, as if they are ready to retreat at any time!" said his adjutant.
"I know!" the Lordaeron Legion Commander said.
"...Legion Commander..." The adjutant hesitated. All the elves were gone. This place would not be defended no matter what. Without long-range attack professions such as elf mages and rangers, the defeated orcs like them only needed to launch an attack.
.
The Lordaeron Legion Commander's eyes fell on the note on the table.
The adjutant hurriedly picked up the note. The words on the note were written in high elf language, which the adjutant recognized. But when he saw the words above, he was stunned: "The main force has withdrawn... no wonder... no wonder!"
"Legion commander, withdraw the troops! Withdraw the troops quickly! Otherwise it will be too late..." the adjutant suddenly shouted.
"The last order I received was to stand firm..." the Lordaeron Legion Commander murmured.
"Maybe the messenger was intercepted by the orcs on the road, maybe there was an accident and the retreat order was not sent!" the adjutant said anxiously.
"No!" the Lordaeron Legion Commander sighed and said: "It is impossible that every messenger has been intercepted. They also have dwarf griffin knights, but they did not convey any retreat orders to us."
"Why? Why didn't they give us the order to retreat?" the adjutant shouted.
