At the same time, Richard, who was far away at the main level of Dragon's Breath Pass, also knew about Gru's promotion to the holy level. The status of all heroes in the system was clearly displayed on the panel. Richard only needed to pay a little attention.
Then you can find out.
Compared with the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the front line, the small courtyard where Richard was located had a different scene. The sunlight gave everything in the courtyard a golden edge, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze.
It makes people just want to lie down on the chair and be a salted fish.
Richard was slumped on the chair at this time, and the maid on the side would bring a peeled fruit to Richard's mouth from time to time. In this comfortable life, it was hard to tell that Richard was here to fight. After swallowing a fruit
, a smile appeared on Richard's face. He had another holy-level combat force under his command, which was something worth celebrating.
Natalie is waiting loyally by Richard's side. There is no way around it. Richard used the magic potion this time, which caused a lot of damage to his body. Although he has regained his ability to move, his combat effectiveness has still not been completely restored. To deal with a
The sky is quite choked. In addition to the thousands of Western Border troops on the outside as a defensive force, there must also be a strong bodyguard to ensure its safety.
"Master Richard, do you think of anything happy?"
Although Natalie has a cold personality, she and Li Cha can still chat occasionally, and she is a little curious when she sees Richard suddenly laughing for no reason.
"Well, Gru has been promoted to the holy level, so my pressure should be less in the future."
Richard is not afraid that his heroes will surpass him in strength, and he even wishes that they would all enter the Holy Rank, so that he would not have to fight against the strong men at the front and in every battle.
However, when Natalis heard the news, her expression changed slightly. When it came to her desire for strength, Natalis was undoubtedly the most eager among the heroes. Originally, she was also the strongest fighter under Richard.
Originally, he had always been the strong man under Richard's command who was most likely to enter the holy level first. Unexpectedly, he was left behind by Gru at this time.
"Master Richard, I..."
"Don't worry. With your accumulation, you will be able to upgrade in one battle at most. The Holy Level will also come naturally. When Moriel comes back, you can take a few angels to help Taize fight."
"Yes, sir!"
Recently, Natalies and Moriel have been taking turns fighting. Richard's strength has been damaged. Even under the protection of a flag regiment of the Western Army, he cannot leave any protective power behind. Either Moriel brings the poisonous dragon and
The ancient dragon was around, or Natalis and several archangels stayed behind to ensure Richard's safety.
At this time, Moriel was assisting the defense with some of the remaining dragons. Although the orcs attacked fiercely during this period, under Taize's command, the defense around the main pass of Dragon's Breath Pass was almost impeccable.
Apart from casualties, the orcs made almost no substantial breakthroughs.
…
On the front line of Longxi Guantong Ridge, fierce shouts of killing continued, and the lazy autumn day could not reduce the intensity of the war at all.
A sudden counterattack was completely unexpected by the orcs. Taize was originally responsible for guarding the Dongling line, but the orcs could not attack for a long time. Later, due to problems with other defense lines, in order to avoid being outflanked by the orcs, Taize ordered to surrender.
Out of Dongling's defense line.
After Taize led the army to withdraw, the orc army naturally settled in Dongling. The defense line of Dongling was aimed at the east. It was quite difficult to attack from the east, but from the west, which is the direction of Longxiguan,
Dongling is almost open and undefended.
Logically speaking, even if the orcs captured Dongling, they should have taken more precautions. However, due to their confidence in their own combat power, the orcs did not believe that humans would dare to attack after they had just retreated. This led to a confrontation between the orcs stationed in Dongling.
I didn't have any mental preparation.
But they don't know what kind of general they are facing. It is true that Taize is good at defense, but this defense is definitely not a rigid defense. Instead, they must seize the opportunity to give the attacker a hard blow, weaken the opponent's strength, and damage the opponent's morale.
.
Some of the lax orc army was stunned by the sudden counterattack of the human army, and retreated continuously. These orcs who only thought about how to attack, after taking Dongling, only thought about attacking, and even took some basic precautions.
It was so loose that Taize immediately seized the opportunity.
The first to launch a counterattack were the 50,000 elite troops organized by Taizé. They rushed eastwards for several miles, killing orcs in vain along the way, causing the collapse of the two flag regiments that the orcs had placed at the front preparing to attack.
It wasn't until an orc army commander arrived with reinforcements to organize a resistance that the decline was finally halted.
However, it is obvious that Taize did not want to take advantage of this and leave this time, but wanted to play a big game. As the 50,000 elite troops led by Taize personally launched an assault, shouts of killing were also heard from both wings of Dongling.
Listening to this movement, the number is only much larger than the human army that broke through head-on.
However, although the counterattack of the human army was somewhat unexpected, and the orcs were caught off guard due to lack of preparation, the orcs were not just freeloaders. Even though the organization was somewhat chaotic, their fighting will was still very determined. Many orc warriors were among the officers.
Resistance was organized at all levels. On the small front line of Dongling, the human and orc armies were fighting together, and for the time being, no victory or defeat could be seen.
"Lord Aker, please take a step back first. The humans came prepared, but we were careless."
The general of the orcs, Aker, is in charge of the five legions in the Dongling area with more than 100,000 troops. Akel, who has been organizing attacks recently, is obviously a little careless. However, after being raided, Akel's performance was still passable.
He personally organized a resistance with his own soldiers and stood at the front, as if he vowed to stop the human army.
"My soldiers are still fighting! I can't leave!"
"Roar!"
Just after Akel said these words, a dull roar came from the sky, which extinguished his courage. The human dragon came, and in this raid, humans and the dragon cooperated in the fight.
Since the death of Yamos, the White Dragon Clan has not been as supportive of the orcs as before. Recently, the human dragons have been suppressing the orcs. Now the army is in chaos, plus the human dragons
Come to help, this battle can't be fought.
"retreat!"
"boom!"
At this time, it was not so easy for the orc army to retreat. Several places where the orcs organized resistance became the focus of the dragon's attack. The army gathered near the orc commander was the focus of Moriel's care. Several dragons
After resting, hundreds of orcs were killed and wounded. These casualties were nothing to the more than 100,000 orcs here, but they had a huge impact on morale. Especially the general's withdrawal affected the fighting process.
With the improvement of the morale of the orcs, the human warriors gradually gained an absolute advantage with the cooperation of the giant dragons. After a fierce battle until dusk, they actually drove the orcs out of the East Ridge defense line and regained the position here.
…
"Quickly, bring the rocks and rolling logs up."
"The catapult here has not been damaged yet. Find someone to repair it. It can still be used!"
"Clean up all the orc corpses..."
After successfully retaking the Dongling defense line, the human soldiers seemed very busy. They had to treat the wounded and clean up the orc corpses and clean the battlefield at the same time. The orcs may attack again at any time, so it is also very important to rearrange the defense.
"Thanks to General Moriel's help this time, the battle was able to go so smoothly."
Although Taize is a barbarian, he can talk. Among the heroes with character flaws in Richard, he is considered the most normal. At this time, he and Moriel were patrolling the battlefield and even took the initiative to chat a few words.
"Um."
"The orcs have withdrawn to the east. It will be difficult to launch a counterattack without a few days of consolidation. These few days are enough for General Taize to stabilize the defense line."
"Although the orcs are powerful, the soldiers under our command are quite tenacious in fighting. With Lady Moriel and Lady Natalis supporting us at any time, we are not afraid of the orcs' counterattack."
Taize has been guarding for such a period of time and has basically figured out the background of both sides. Longxingguan is well prepared. Even he, a general who is good at guarding, can't find any major faults. The material reserves have reached a crazy level.
Don't be afraid of long battles.
Although the orcs have strong combat power, it is partially offset by the city defense and lacks the support of the dragon in the air. It is very difficult to break through the Dragon's Breathing Pass, especially to capture the Dragon's Breathing Pass in his hands.
things.
"But don't be careless. The strong orcs and white dragons who appeared before may suddenly join the battle. General Taize must remember what Mr. Richard told him and protect himself."
"Yes, I know."
She was afraid that Taize would be dazzled by the recent victory. She and Richard had a better understanding of the overall situation and vaguely knew who was behind the scenes, so they had always been worried about the defense of Longxingguan.
However, Taize is obviously not a person who gets easily confused. After mentioning this, Moriel stopped talking and continued to follow Taize to inspect the defense line of Dongling.
