The setting sun has half-hidden the horizon, and the noise during the day seems to have gradually returned to calm as the setting sun sets in the west.
The giant dragon roared in mid-air, but no orcs were panicked anymore. The originally densely populated orc town had now completely turned into ruins. The corpses of the orcs were piled up into hills at the two exits, with blood and blood.
Before it soaked into the soil, it gathered into a stream. From time to time, Crusaders wearing iron boots would trample through the stream of blood and water, turning over the corpses of the orcs to see if any fish had slipped through the net.
There are also streams of black smoke rising from the ruins, which can be clearly seen from dozens of miles away.
It's just that besides the royal capital, there are large armies stationed nearby, and the garrisons in other cities are also very weak. Even if they find out that the town is in danger, they don't dare to rescue them. Instead, they are in danger themselves, for fear that the next target of this human army will be them, especially
The orcs in some villages and towns who reacted quickly have begun to move to the royal capital for refuge.
Richard's arrival brought the greatest terror to the Orc King's Capital Plain in a hundred years.
"Lord Richard, all the orcs have been wiped out."
Ron came to Richard's side and returned to life. At this time, Ron was covered in blood. Half of the silver plate armor was stained with blood. There were several obvious marks on the armor. It was obvious that he had been hit by some weapon.
Well, when those orcs who escaped from the town were blocked by Ron and his men, their ferocity was still aroused. Even if they were not serious soldiers, they still had strength, and some of them even had...
Armed with weapons, when there were more people, they were forced to a dead end. Resistance would still cause some trouble, but this trouble was insignificant to Ron who led his troops to intercept.
"Crusader Hero: Ron
Level:18
Strength:25
Agility:22
Constitution: 29
Specialty: Crusader
Skill:……"
This hero who was the first to follow Richard has successfully kept up with his level after months of fighting. During the battle in the northern dense forest, his level has improved a lot. His strength has kept up with the large army and has reached the level of an earth knight.
In this orc town of ten thousand people, the strongest people are just a few orc warriors, so naturally it is difficult to pose any substantial threat to Ron.
Although Ron was covered in blood, his armor was not too damaged. Richard was not worried about his injuries, but was worried about the other side.
Ron and Elena are the same kind of people.
"Don't you feel good about killing so many civilians just now?"
Ron had just killed few orc soldiers outside the town, almost all of them were orc civilians, and many of them were women and children. To deal with these people, Ron felt a little psychological pressure.
But Ron still managed to cheer up and replied:
"In a racial war, there is no room for mercy from subordinates."
"As long as you understand, don't look at the killings we are causing now. If the orcs break the Dragon's Breath Pass, they will only be more cruel than us. How do you think there are so many orcs in the western and northern regions?"
"yes"
Ron nodded in agreement and stood next to Richard. As his status and strength became higher and higher, the majesty on Richard's body became more and more serious. Even Ron began to feel pressure when talking to Richard.
Richard, who was wearing a dark red dragon king's magical power, looked at the burning orc village with a calm expression. If it had been when he had just traveled through time, he might not have been able to issue such a spicy military order.
But now that he has lived in this world for nearly twenty years, some of the rules in his previous life have long been blurred. In this world, fighting between different races is the norm. The conflict between humans and orcs is a struggle for living space.
It is almost impossible to adjust and cannot tolerate his mercy.
Richard doesn't care how much blood is on his hands, but now he cares more about improving his level.
In more than a month from the beginning of the northern jungle to now, the number of orcs who have died directly or indirectly at his hands is probably no less than 300,000. He has slaughtered two small towns and more than a dozen villages and towns. The experience gained has been
It exceeded the experience gained from fighting the Snow Giant in the Battle of the Snowfield. Even though he had many system heroes to share the experience, Richard's level had been upgraded by two levels in a row, and the next upgrade was not far away.
Richard's current level and attributes are basically at the top of the sky level. In terms of comparison, he is already a monster on the same level as Natalie. In particular, his physical attributes are terrifying, and his absolute power is even equivalent to that of an ancient dragon.
Well, if he used the Giant's Ring in his hand again, Richard's power would be enough to pin an ancient dragon to the ground and beat it to death with his fists.
"It's a pity, it's still a little bit worse."
Richard glanced at his attribute template, and finally focused on the experience bar. The experience provided by tens of thousands of orcs in a town was still not enough. If he wanted to upgrade such a town, he would have to destroy another one.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and the system soldiers, under the command of Elena, had basically finished resting and eating. Logically speaking, when night fell, it should be time to prepare to set up camp and rest.
But for this system army, the dark night has never been an obstacle to their actions. Instead, it is an excellent opportunity for action.
In addition to the trouble with eyesight, night battles also test the army's organizational ability and fighting will, because night battles are prone to chaos. During the day, officers can see their troops clearly at a glance, and the effect of command and supervision will be much better. However, there are many cases of night battles.
After the commander issues the order, it all depends on the soldiers' consciousness. The more chaos there is, the higher the probability of a rout. After all, survival is instinct. An army that can maintain its formation and fighting will in a night battle is basically capable of doing so.
When the trump card is used by the army.
Even these elites are not as good as the system soldiers under Richard. They have absolute organizational strength and constant fighting will. They don't have night blindness, and they are definitely more terrifying in night battles.
"Um?"
Richard, who was considering his next course of action, suddenly noticed something unusual through the sight of the royal griffon.
The reconnaissance ability of the Royal Griffin has always been one of the most buggy abilities given by the system. During non-war times, hundreds of Royal Griffins can see all the movements of the army within a radius of 300 miles. This is why Richard dared to operate in the heart of the orcs.
One of the reasons for the riot in the zone is that he can use the royal griffon to grasp the movements of the surrounding orc army and avoid being surrounded.
Now there are royal griffins roaming around the orc capital to monitor, but the abnormality at this time is not in the direction of the orc capital, but to the south of the army, behind his army, in the direction of Barren Stone City.
The orc army, this is the retreat of Richard's army.
The Royal Griffin discovered that an orc army was camping next to a ruins and preparing to spend the night. They were still two hundred miles away from Richard's army. It would take at least three days to catch up with Richard, but they conveyed a message.
Very dangerous signal.
"They actually dared to leave Huangshi City and come to pursue them?"
Richard frowned, and immediately controlled more royal griffons to begin a blanket search south of the army. Sure enough, he soon discovered the orc army on three routes to the south.
The orc legions in Huangshi City actually divided into four groups, forming a semi-arc shape and surrounding Richard's army. Each of the four legions took control of the main road and completely blocked Richard's retreat.
Of course, Richard is not afraid of these four armies alone. Let alone their division of troops, even if they have 100,000 soldiers united in one place, Richard would dare to fight hard. The dragons and angels in the sky, plus the ones on the ground
Heroes, superb swordsmen and other high-level units are where his confidence lies.
It's just that the defenders of Wasteland City, who had been a little timid before, suddenly became so bold. They obviously had confidence. Judging from the tasks they had accepted in the Congress of Stone Castle, the white dragon from the orcs was probably coming.
With a hundred thousand troops blocking the retreat, coupled with an unknown number of white dragons and reinforcements that would inevitably come from the orc capital, even Richard was a little unsure.
Fortunately, the orc army in Huangshi City still underestimated the strength and speed of action of Richard's troops and dared to divide their troops to surround them.
"The journey of more than two hundred miles is totally within time."
"General Mrak!"
"grown ups!"
"Assemble the team and head south! We have to reach the orc army's station before dawn."
"Yes, sir, I promise to complete the mission!"
At this time, it was almost completely dark, and there should be about ten hours before dawn. If others heard this order, they would definitely think that Richard was crazy.
In this era of marching on two legs, marching two hundred miles in ten hours is like a dream, let alone an armed march. However, Sir Mrak accepted the order very decisively and without any hesitation. For him, this was
This marching speed is as common as drinking water...
…
…
late at night, mule town
This orc town is located on a plain more than a hundred miles northeast of Huangshi City. There is a stream flowing nearby. The town is surrounded by crops. It can be regarded as the town with the best geographical conditions in the orc kingdom.
The town has a permanent population of more than 5,000 people. Like other orc towns, the surrounding walls are built with stones and logs more than three meters high, and there are some simple defensive tools. From these small towns, it can be seen that the orcs have always been
In preparation for war, almost every settlement has considered defense issues. In comparison, human villages and towns are much worse.
It can be said that he was lucky to come to Muer Town. Richard led his army all the way north. A wealthy town like this must be within the scope of his destruction, especially the green rice fields surrounding the town.
On the head.
However, the luck of Mu'er Town is that it is not on Richard's march route northward, and is a little closer to Huangshi City. When Richard led his army northward, he captured another town dozens of miles away.
, but did not take a detour back to attack the town of Muer.
At that time, the townspeople of Mu'er Town were panicked for two days when they saw the black smoke dozens of miles away.
The regular army arrived near the town of Muer in the afternoon. The number of troops was five times that of the civilians in the town. The town's defense strength had never been so high.
Due to the size of the town of Mu'er, it is natural that it cannot accommodate so many people. Only a small number of troops entered the town, but the army still set up a simple camp around the town. With the army stationed, the orc civilians in Mu'er Town tonight
They all had a good sleep.
Honatan is the commander of this orc army, a junior orc master on earth. He led a flag regiment of his own headquarters to settle in the town. The mayor of the town vacated his house to Honatan.
Serves as a command post.
At night, after taking a few officers on a tour, Honatan returned to the house to rest and fell into a deep sleep.
It has to be said that Honatan was a little slack. When setting up camp, he actually divided the army into two groups due to the small size of the town. One group, the First Flag Regiment, which he personally led, followed him into the town, and the other four groups were stationed there.
The regiment camped around the town. If a battle broke out, the troops would probably be disconnected.
The camp was set up casually, with some simple barriers and fences, and no deep trenches were dug to save trouble. However, the sentry layout was quite reasonable, and it looked a bit like a regular army.
This cannot be blamed on Honatan and a group of orcs for slacking off. In fact, in their eyes, the town of Muer is indeed a very safe place. There is no need to waste energy and do useless work. After all, according to intelligence, the human army is not far away from here.
There are still more than two hundred miles to go. Unless they can fly, how can they get here? They are the pursuing party, not the defensive party.
Except for the orc soldiers standing guard and patrolling, most of the orcs slept very deeply tonight. After all, they were a little tired after two days of traveling, and even the well-trained elites were a little overwhelmed.
However, the sleeping orcs did not notice that some huge creatures were approaching quickly under the cover of darkness in mid-air.
