On the morning of the fourth day, the vanguard of 600 human light cavalry set off first, followed two hours later by a mixed team of 600 human heavy cavalry and 600 elves.
The entire combined cavalry was led by Daelin himself as the supreme commander, and the elves only sent necessary commanders to assist.
Although it is a rapid march, in fact the marching speed is not very fast. After all, the ground troops cannot be as fast as the flying troops. This is because the cavalry must maintain some spare strength at any time. After walking for almost a distance, it must stop to let the mounts move freely and rest.
It took a while before we could march again.
Generally speaking, the cavalry normally marches for eight hours a day, four hours in the morning, allowing the mounts to rest for a period of time at noon, marching for another four hours in the afternoon, and then resting in the evening. Even if they march in a hurry, they will not march more than ten hours a day, because the people
You can bear it, but the mount can't. After all, the mount is a hunched knight!
After going back and forth like this, the combined cavalry troops led by Dailin finally arrived at the outskirts of Grim Batol fourteen days later.
By this time, the fire had long been extinguished, and a radius of dozens of miles, with Grim Batol as the center, had turned into a black and ashes hell. Not even a single living animal was seen, let alone an orc.
There are all scorch marks.
Dai Lin led the joint cavalry troops alone, wading through the thick ashes on the ground, marching on the land scorched black by the flames. Not long after walking, everyone in the originally bright and beautiful joint cavalry troops soon became like
Dirty and disgraced like a beggar.
They marched all the way, raising smoke and dust along the way. The soldiers could only wrap their mouths and noses with towels, revealing only a pair of bright eyes shining under their foreheads covered with black soot.
After walking so hard for a long time, they finally saw 600 light cavalry as the vanguard wandering around the gate of Grim Batol like a group of beggars.
The light cavalry had thin armor and a small number of people. Naturally, they did not dare to rush into Grim Batol with such a small number of people. After all, not long ago, this was the headquarters of two entire orc legions! For the sake of caution, they still
After Jue Geng rendezvoused with the main force, he began to ride his horse into Grim Batol under Dai Lin's order.
When the troops entered Grim Batol, the light cavalry as the vanguard and the main force led by Dailin were only two to three hundred meters apart.
The situation in Grim Batol is not much better than the situation outside the city. It can even be said to be more miserable than the situation outside the city. At least there are not so many burned to a crisp outside Grim Batol.
Gray-white skeletons that break at the touch of a touch.
And this place... can almost be said to be a city of bones or a city of death. Almost every few steps the soldiers of the Combined Cavalry Corps took, they would see one or more bodies burned to powder.
White orc bones.
Often next to this complete gray-white skeleton, there will be some metal that has been burnt to gray black, fragments of metal armor lying on the ground, and many metal parts of weapons, and other non-metal parts such as weapons.
The handle and sword pin had long since been burned to ashes by the fire.
All the officers of the joint cavalry force were shocked. They really couldn't imagine how tragic the situation here was at that time. There were more than 12,000 orcs! Two full regiments!
Who can imagine that more than 10,000 extremely strong orcs were bustling here more than ten or twenty days ago, but now... these people... have all become silently lying on the ground, shattered into countless pieces at the touch of a touch.
Small pieces of crispy bones? Even the human soldiers, elf rangers, and mages of the United Cavalry who were used to seeing life and death felt shocked and shaken in their hearts.
The soldiers of the joint cavalry force were a little cautious at first, fearing that a group of remaining orc troops would suddenly rush out from a corner and launch a surprise attack on them. They were even more afraid of making too much noise and giving away the powerful force that caused this result.
I was shocked because it was so quiet here.
But as they walked further and further into the center of Grim Batol City, the soldiers of the Combined Cavalry Troops began to relax more and more. Is there anyone else here? Is this a city where only one person lives?
This place is obviously a real hell on earth, except for countless complete and crunchy gray-white orc skeletons. The entire dilapidated city of Grim Batol is quiet, with the only sound of their own movement.
.
Deep underground in Grim Batol.
In a cave with hot magma flowing on the ground, a huge black dragon suddenly opened its huge eyes, revealing its slender black pupils like poisonous snakes. The terrifying pupils moved slightly.
Someone is coming!
The huge black dragon felt that there were some tiny ants moving on the ground, so it released its consciousness to the ground, quietly observing and monitoring the actions and words of those ants.
Hinterland.
The Quel'Dennis Council has been extremely busy during this time. In order to negotiate with other forces in the Hinterlands to form the Hinterland United Legion, the main members of the Quel'Dennis Council were exhausted from running around all day long, and they were also
Every day, I quarreled with representatives of several factions until my mouth went dry. However, the members of Queldanis' Parliament never tired of it, and they were full of energy and energy all day long.
Ever since the Blood Eagle Legion came to Hinterlands and brought back the city lord's order to form the Hinterlands United Legion, the entire Queldanis Council was in a state of excitement. Every member of the council was as if they had taken Viagra, and they were all rubbing their hands.
Get ready to show off your power.
Damn it! It’s been so long! I finally don’t have to go to farm every day and deal with countless trivial matters every day! Finally, I’m starting to look like a leader! I can finally take the lead in calling several races to hold a joint meeting!
However, this matter is really not easy! I don’t want to make Queldanis suffer too much, but I can’t let the matter not make any progress. After two months of noisy bargaining, I have used all my skills. Dear Councilors,
Colleagues also showed off their magical skills with words and swords, and finally reached an agreement with the major forces in the Hinterlands to form a joint army.
Originally, the congressmen thought that in the face of a huge real external threat like the orcs, it would be a matter of course for all the Xuntlan tribes to unite to defend their common homeland. Even if there were some difficulties, the problem should not be big. The biggest problem should be how to
To ensure the interests of Quel'Dennis, and to compete for a dominant position in the future United Legion.
But what shocked all the members of the Queldanis Council was that the problem did not lie in this, but in a place they had not expected at all.
