The four hundred and twentieth chapter is like a broken bamboo
"Lord Adlu, why did the Wolf Head Village fall so quickly?"
"According to accurate information, the attacking humans had at least thirty dragons participating in the battle. The entire Wolf Head Village was burned to ashes by the dragon's breath. Only one messenger has returned so far."
"Thirty dragons?"
Hearing this number, the orc officers below were in an uproar. You should know that according to the orcs' intelligence, there were only five human dragon knights in total, and now thirty giant dragons suddenly appeared.
"Lord Adru, our legion only has more than 20,000 people, and they are scattered in different camps in the dense forest. I am afraid that we cannot resist the human attack. Please ask the royal capital for help."
"The Bat Knights requesting help have been dispatched, but I'm afraid it will take some time until the Royal Capital sends reinforcements. Humanity's attack has been premeditated. We must find a way to entangle the humans in the dense forest before the reinforcements arrive."
"But there are too many giant dragons in humans. Except for the dragon-hunting crossbow in Dazhai at the legion headquarters, the others are ordinary bed crossbows. We really don't have the means to deal with the giant dragons."
The northern dense forest has never been the focus of the battle between the two sides. Although the orcs control the access to the dense forest, the road is still too difficult to walk. It is also very difficult to supply supplies if they really want to pass through the army. In the afternoon, they will immediately hit the human defense line in the northern section of Longxing Pass.
, this place has never been the focus of the orcs' attack.
Although humans can climb to the core territory of the Eastern Plateau of the Orcs after passing through the dense forest, the dense forest has always been an insurmountable obstacle for the human army. If there are too many human factions, they will encounter the same supply problems as the orcs. If there are too few human factions, it will be completely impossible.
It's food delivery.
The dragon-hunting crossbow is also a scarce war tool in the orc kingdom. Of course, it will be placed in more important places to defend against the dragon knights. Therefore, the entire orc army stationed in the northern dense forest for a generation only allocated one dragon-hunting crossbow to guard against the possible arrival.
Dragon Knight.
"We must stay in the northern jungle to buy more time."
Difficulties Adlu naturally knows that more than thirty giant dragons are more terrifying than the five human dragon knights coming together, but he knows better that the royal capital will definitely order them after receiving the situation reported here.
Hold on to buy time for the mobilization of the royal capital's troops, and there is no room for retreat.
"A dragon-hunting crossbow will definitely not be able to stop so many giant dragons. We can only fight with them."
"Yes, only the orcs who died in battle fought against humans!"
In any case, the morale of the orcs is still good. This kind of thing involving the conflict between the two tribes will naturally improve the morale a lot.
It's just that Adlu felt helpless as he pressed his head. He asked these officers to discuss how to deal with humans, not to listen to their expressions of determination.
"Lord Adlu, I think we should abandon the stronghold and only leave a small number of troops to garrison it."
"Are you going to be a coward?"
"Qierwei, I have long been unhappy with you. If you become a deserter, I will be the first to chop you to death!"
Qilwei's name is not as rough as other orcs, but his appearance is the same as those of other orcs, with green faces and fangs. However, his tone of voice lacks the impatience of most orcs, and he is not anxious when interrupted.
"Don't interrupt Qilvi, let him continue."
On the contrary, Adlu became interested in the speech of his calm and calm flag captain, and immediately pressed down the other violent orcs, allowing Qilwei to continue speaking.
"Yes, General Adreu."
"When I say abandon Dazhai, I don't mean to retreat in front of humans, but the current situation does not allow us to stick to a fixed location. If we gather in Dazhai to defend, the final result will not be too different from the defenders of Langshou Village.
The big difference is that there are more casualties."
"Go on."
Qil slightly paused and continued:
"I suggest that you abandon all the fortresses, take all the food and grass with you, and burn those that cannot be taken away. Except for leaving some defenders in Dazhai to attract human attention, all other fortresses should be abandoned since they cannot be defended.
"
"The army retreated into the forest and dealt with the humans in the dense forest. After leaving the city, the effectiveness of the human dragons in the dense forest will be greatly reduced, and we are more familiar with the terrain and water sources..."
"But if we leave Muzhai, we can only carry less than a week's rations at most. We will run out of food soon."
"We can first hide some supplies in a place that only we can find, and the human army has come from afar. They are more short of food than us. If we drag it on, maybe we can defeat them. Even if we can't resist it in the end, we can still win for the kingdom.
More reaction time.”
"However, those strongholds are in good locations, and the traps we have set up surround the strongholds. If every stronghold is defended, we may be able to slowly consume humans."
After all, it has been a place that has been operating for such a long time. Some orc officers are still a little hesitant about giving up the stronghold. Especially some of the strongholds are much larger than the Wolf Head Stronghold, with more complete facilities and a large amount of supplies. Let them give up.
I'm really reluctant to give it up.
"That's just a large Wolf Head Village. Facing more than thirty giant dragons, all the arrangements are meaningless."
"Okay, no need to argue anymore."
At this time Adlu finally spoke. He looked at Qilwei and then glanced at the orc officer below and asked:
"Did you hear clearly what Qilwei said just now?"
Under Adlu's gaze, the orc officers below all nodded.
"Well, follow the method Qilwei just said and execute it immediately!"
"Yes, General Adreu!"
"Go, let's break up the party!"
Although many officers still have some doubts in their minds, Adlu is the highest officer after all. Once he makes the decision, other orc officers can only execute it.
…
in dense forest
Atop the ruins, there were occasional screams, which were probably human soldiers chasing down the surviving orcs. There were also bursts of black smoke rising from some charred wood on the ground.
Richard was stepping on the ruins and lighting up a cigarette, a specialty of the Northland. He was surrounded by a circle of senior officers and heroes of the system.
This is the third orc city that the North Route Army has conquered after Langshou Village, almost at a rate of one per day. This small village with hundreds of orc warriors stationed there can't even stand in the way of Richard.
Can't do it.
The Northern Route Army spent most of their time on the road, and attacking the walled city became a kind of adjustment. After the dragon washed the land, all that was left for the ground troops was to clean up the battlefield. Now they have wiped out nearly two thousand orcs.
, the human casualties have not exceeded three digits, which was unimaginable before.
All legions are now vying to be the vanguard. Although the vanguard has changed to clean up the battlefield, it can still drink soup. Otherwise, there will be no credit at all and only the march will be left.
"Master Richard, at our current speed, we can enter the plateau through the dense forest in less than half a month."
The person speaking was a younger commander of the Second Legion, with a hint of excitement on his face.
Richard, who was just smoking, was not so optimistic and just looked to the north.
If the orcs were really that stupid, they wouldn't be qualified to be mankind's close enemy for hundreds of years...
