Richard used his full strength to cast the Vulcan Sword, and a ten-meter tongue of fire immediately appeared on it, and more than a dozen orc warriors fell down with one swing.
With the addition of Richard, a saint-level combat force, the orc army in the inner fort, which had been crushed by the system warriors, was completely defeated before they could resist for long. The orc army leader Zafaru and his bodyguards launched a suicide attack on Richard.
A powerful attack, but in front of Richard, he didn't even have a chance to strike. A strong man as strong as the Earth Knight was killed by the Vulcan Sword to the ground.
With the death of Zafaru, the organized resistance of the orc warriors in the inner fort basically came to an end. Richard put away the Vulcan Sword and stopped taking action. The purpose of testing the power of the holy level has been achieved. What is left is
Just leave it to your subordinates to solve the problem.
"Elena!"
"Lord Richard!"
"Take people to clean up the inner city and then organize the army to eat and rest on the spot! Leave Barren Stone City within two hours after dark."
"Yes, sir!"
"General Gru!"
"Lord Richard!"
"You bring the phantom shooters and war dancers to control the streets. I don't want to see any orcs standing on the streets within 500 meters of the inner castle wall!"
"Yes, sir!"
Although the Deserted Stone City was captured, the real trouble for Richard and his troops was not to defeat the regular army of Orcs, but to stay in the Deserted Stone City for a period of time safely. After all, it was different from the battles between the same clans.
After conquering the orc city, Richard was too lazy to even do the most basic maintenance of order, and would only consider the safety of his own army during this period.
The Wasteland City is no smaller than the Xiaohe City we captured before. It can barely be considered a big city. There are more than 50,000 orc civilians in the city. The conflict between the two sides is almost irreconcilable. This is equivalent to about 50,000 pairs of hatred.
His eyes were always staring at the human army in the inner fort.
If he gets involved with the escaped soldiers again, let alone stabilizing the order of the city, it will be a question of whether he can leave safely. According to Richard's idea, let Gru lead the people to suppress the situation in the city first and kill the leader.
At least it's guaranteed that the orcs in the city won't be able to cause trouble before the sun goes down.
After resting for a few hours, in the middle of the night, pour the oil on the fire and set off the fire, and then sneak away with the army.
Soon, several heroes went down to complete their tasks, and Richard also took advantage of this little time gap to enter the room in the inner castle to rest for a while.
…
night falls
From time to time, some screams can be heard in the wasteland city. This is not because Richard is committing crimes. Although Richard has evil intentions after entering the orc territory to fight, and has done a lot of massacres in the city, the system army under his command is sending and receiving.
Zizuo is not like some armies who cannot stop once they start massacring the city. They must let go for several days to maintain order.
Huangshi City is a big city. Not only is it large, it also has a large population. Although the team under Richard's command is powerful, it is too small in number. It is impossible to control the situation as easily as in a small town like Mu'er Town, so Richard also
He did not send his men out to clean up the entire city, and now that they were about to leave, except for some of the main streets and city gates where officers were posted, the troops were all concentrated in the inner fort with torches.
The screams coming from the city at this time should be that some ruffians among the orcs took advantage of the chaos to rob. This kind of thing can happen anywhere. As long as order does not exist, there will always be people who use their brains. From this point of view, the orcs
There is actually not much difference from humans.
Richard was too lazy to care so much. The troops had rested and it was time to leave.
"Elena, after gathering all the troops, leave from the south city gate immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
"Talis, you lead the cavalry to suppress the formation, and then evacuate after Elena leads the infantry."
"Yes, sir!"
"General Gru, you are lucky. After they evacuate, lead your team and cooperate with General Moriel to ignite the hay arranged in advance, expand the fire as much as possible, and then leave!"
"Um."
"Set off!"
Soon, the entire system army quickly started to act according to Richard's arrangements. This army under Richard's command seemed a bit strange in every aspect in this era.
Not only that marching at night is commonplace, but we can still maintain a marching speed that is not much different from that during the day. Although it is still early in the night, it should be a time when we are sleeping soundly, but there is basically no trace of fatigue on the faces of these system soldiers.
State, a few hours of rest in the afternoon has been enough for them to restore their mobility for the day.
The army marched late at night, which naturally alarmed the orcs in the city. It can be said that although Richard captured the deserted stone city, he could not even stabilize the basic order, let alone rule. The phantom shooters under Gru could not see it.
Wherever we arrived, the undercurrent of Wasteland City never stopped surging.
"Master Banner Leader! Those humans seem to be leaving!"
In the dark night, in a remote house, several orcs were planning something secretly.
During the daytime battle, the orcs actually had an officer at the level of a banner commander who survived. The banner commander, who had the strength of a great warrior, naturally became the leader of the rout in the city.
"Are they actually going out of town at night?"
"Sir, shall we stop them?"
This group of orcs quietly gathered two to three hundred people at night, and mobilized some young civilians in the city. It was not a problem to gather a thousand people, and it was possible to make some noise, but the orc flag group
The president flatly rejected the proposal.
"I can't defeat so many people during the day! Are these people going to die now?"
"Humans have put a lot of dry firewood in the city. They are afraid that they will set fire to the city after they leave. After these humans leave, we will try our best to put out the fire and save the city!"
"Here, can we put out the fire?"
Hearing the flag leader say that humans are going to set fire, a squad leader next to him had obvious fear on his face. Technology in modern society has become so advanced. Once a fire breaks out, it is extremely difficult to control the fire. In this era, we are faced with the situation that has already started.
There is also no good way to deal with fires. Once a fire breaks out in the city, you will be devoured by the fire if you are not careful.
"We must extinguish the fire even if it cannot be extinguished. Once the humans leave, we will quickly organize people to put out the fire."
"Yes, sir!"
…
"There's a fire, put out the fire quickly!"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
The efficiency of the system's army was very fast. When the cavalry led by Talis had just passed the city gate, everywhere in the wasteland city began to burn. Because it was caused by man-made arson, the fire started very quickly and became a climate in an instant.
The orc civilians did not care about the danger outside and rushed out to put out the fire. After the fire started, the orc flag leader also joined the fire-fighting team with his gathered broken troops and tried to control the fire.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
"ah!"
"Humans, humans haven't left yet!"
In the dark night, some orcs who were trying to put out the fire were suddenly knocked down by sharp arrows. They couldn't even see where the arrows came from. Just because of the obstruction of the arrows, putting out the fire became a luxury and they could only watch.
He watched the fire get bigger and bigger.
"Master Gru, the fire is too big, we should withdraw."
Gru, who was standing on the roof looking at the many fires in the city, nodded, waved his hand, and the soldier responsible for setting the fire disappeared into the dark night with him and ran towards the city gate, while the giant dragon in the sky was also waiting for Molly.
left under your leadership.
The fire in Huangshi City is getting bigger and bigger, completely lighting up the entire night sky. This fire can no longer be extinguished by the power of the orcs. If you want to extinguish the fire, you can only wait for it to burn until there is nothing left.
But when it burned, the fire stopped, but by then nothing would be left in the desolate stone city.
…
early morning
Richard has led the system army away, but the fire in Huangshi City has not been extinguished. It is obvious that the fire was not controlled at night. Some of the orcs were directly burned to death in the city, and the remaining orcs could only survive in despair.
Zhonglai opened the Wasteland City, and it was only a matter of time before the Wasteland City was burned to the ground.
…
"Sir Ruhr, the news from Bat Knight is that the Deserted Stone City has also been destroyed by humans, and now humans are marching towards the west."
Throughout the morning, Ruhr heard two pieces of bad news in succession. First came the news of the disastrous defeat of the regiment in Muer Town, and now the news was outrageous. The human army that was still fighting in Muer Town the night before actually turned around.
They also destroyed the deserted stone city, and their marching speed was almost as fast as flying.
"Order the flanking armies to stop marching and move closer to us."
Ruhr pinched his eyebrows. He thought hard and couldn't figure out why the army's marching speed and combat effectiveness were so outrageous. But no matter how unbelievable it was, what happened happened. After careful consideration based on the facts, Ruhr
We still made the most conservative decision to regroup the troops that were scattered at the beginning to avoid being defeated individually.
"In addition, send Bat Rider to report the movements of humans and tell Lord Sean that the human army is heading west and seems to want to retreat."
"Yes, sir!"
Ruhr was actually unsure of Richard's intentions. The system army led by Richard could not judge based on common sense. He just reported the situation truthfully to Sean, who was leading the army to come to the rescue. Originally, their battle plan was for Sean to block Li Cha.
Looking at the enemy's route, Ruhr's four legions surrounded him and completely surrounded and wiped out the opponent.
Now the opponent not only destroyed one of his legions, but also led his army to break through the Huangshi City and jumped behind him. He also set off all the way to the west. He was taking advantage of it and was preparing to retreat to the dense forest to rest, but Ruhr did not dare to be hasty at this time.
If the enemy army pursues them, the other party can destroy the army in Muer Town. His army only goes up to deliver food. Ruhr can only wait for the remaining three armies to merge before Ruhr dares to pursue it.
Even Ruhr secretly felt that if the other party ran all the way west, he would just let these scourges leave. He would rather go to the Dragon Breathing Pass and fight the human dragon knights for 300 rounds than really want to fight such a weird army again.
Fighting.
…
"Master Richard, are we going back to Yandong Mountain?"
"Whether we go back or not, there are already signs that the orc army is going to encircle us again. These orcs are actually quite powerful in combat. If they really complete the encirclement, it will still be a problem. It's better to jump out in advance."
"Master Richard, why don't you let me lead the army? We can rush back to Yandong Mountain in two days at most."
Because after leaving Huangshi City, Richard led his army all the way to the west, as if he wanted to get back into the dense forest. Several heroes around him thought that Richard wanted to withdraw.
"That won't work. General M'rak will lead the team. I'm afraid the orcs will retreat before they can react."
"Well, Sir Richard, did you do this on purpose?"
"Of course, there will be a fierce battle soon. If I am not wrong..."
