On the evening of the 20th,

The battle continued in the area of the Giant Timber Wall in the western front of the Corvey Glade, and Cabe's five-hour attack plan had long since been aborted, and he had set his target for another ten or fifteen hours.

However, the staggered defensive lines and endless war supplies in the fortress area, as well as the determination of all the officers and soldiers to fight to the death under the leadership of Peidi, withstood the onslaught of the orcs three times their own with the military strength of two corps.

And the 1st and 3rd Corps of the Kru Guards Corps stationed in the fortress area also paid a very heavy price, the 1st Corps has been crippled by a brigade, and the 3rd Corps has less than a brigade of troops left.

But the orc losses are even more serious!

During their frantic offensive throughout the day, they left behind more than eight thousand corpses and countless wounded fighters.

...

In the camp of the Twentieth Banner Regiment, Cabe, Riplo, and Sbo gathered around McLerthy's corpse and remained silent.

Less than two days after the start of the war, they had already lost two generals at the level of flag commanders in a row.

At this moment,

It's as if the north wind is colder,

"Now, battle or retreat?" the old orc Smith held a huge spear weakly, he was now wearing the bone armor of Melesey, and he was holding a huge spear made of stainless steel.

He now looks like a general who is about to go to the death.

"The defeat is decided. Cabe sighed lonely, his cloudy eyes staring blankly at the figure swaying in the firelight of the fortress area ahead, the boiling anger around him turning the snowflakes around his body into a white mist.

"Now, there is only one battle to the death. ”

Kabe's voice became as cold as a device, and he held two military reports from scouts in his hands,

One was about the movements of the Shikan Division, which, according to the scout's report, had approached the cordon set up a hundred miles away from the rear of the army as early as two hours earlier.

The other is a report on the movement of the human defenders on the opposite side.

Crewe's Eleventh Legion crossed the swampy area at two o'clock in the afternoon and was advancing at full speed towards the eastern grasslands of their current area, while the human armies in the other defense areas of the Corway Glades were also advancing at a rapid pace towards the flank of the western front!

A huge encirclement has been formed ...

In the face of these two military reports, Cabe couldn't help but ask himself in the bottom of his heart: How did this war fail?

yes, how did you lose?

He remembered the prophecy of victory that Overseer Pereth had given him when he was ordered to attack the Corvey Glades.

But when he arrived in the Corver Glades, the whole battle changed again.

"Damn humans, we shouldn't have trusted them in the first place, and if it weren't for their betrayal, we wouldn't have lost so badly. ”

This is the voice of the head of the Riplo Banner,

His voice was a little hoarse, it was caused by not being in water for a long time, and he had a wound on his chest, although he had been treated by the priest, but the infected magic energy could not be removed in a short time, and at the moment this wound was oozing a little blood because of his fluctuating emotions.

But Riplo didn't care about the wound in his chest, he looked at Cabe and said, "I shouldn't have chosen to cooperate with humans in the first place, if we had merged directly with the Festo Overseers in Shasterburg, the entire Klan Territory might have returned to the hands of the Two-Headed Clan." ”

"The decision to attack Twak City was a unanimous decision on our part. Cabe frowned, "Are you blaming Overseer Pereth for his fault?"

"Stop these pointless bickering, two. Commander Shi Boqi said in a deep voice, and then asked again: "Now, what should we do?

"Only to the death!" replied Cabe again.

The steel spear in Shi Bo's hand was covered with a layer of anger, and he asked, "So, who will you fight to the death?"

Cabe is silent,

Riplo was also silent.

In fact, deep down, the three of them of course wanted to withdraw the soldiers from the fortress area and regroup to have a life-and-death battle with the Shikan headquarters that were about to arrive, but the prejudice and hatred of human beings prevented them from making such a determination.

In front of the enemy, the 'two brothers' killed each other first?

"No matter what we choose, the beast god will forgive us. Smith's anger suddenly dissipated, and he looked at McLerthy, who was lying on the board, and said: "Choosing to fight with the Empire, maybe we can get away with it, but at that time we have long been unable to capture Fort Tulbuk, so what awaits us?"

The old orc's voice grew quieter and quieter, until at last it was as thin as a mosquito ant: "What awaits us will be an endless rout, and the army of humans or the army of Shikan will chase us like rats in this grassland until we are completely wiped out." ”

"It's not what I want. Smith's voice suddenly increased, and he roared, "I'm going to have a hearty battle at the last moment of my life... The future of the orcs, the hope of the tribes, let them all go to hell!"

After Shipper finished speaking, his originally gray eyes suddenly became like two bright lights in the dark night, and these bright eyes were looking at Kabe and Riplo at the moment.

"This is the orcs!"

Riplo and Cabe were shocked.

"Only battle is eternal honor!"

"Qiang" Ripolo was infected by Shibo's language, and he grabbed the giant axe on the side and endured it.

The "click" giant axe split the map that the three of them did not want to be, and he stared at Kabe and said, "Let's have a duel between the orcs and Shikan." ”

The sudden outbreak of war intent between the two infected Kabe, and his blood began to boil.

But reason was telling him that this was the wrong choice, because the troops still had a chance to break through, as long as they broke through, even if the chance of victory was slim, but there was still a chance, didn't it?

After all, Napus, the eldest son of Chief Batuu, ascended to the throne of the Great Chief in the city of Lacnivi.

This is the dawn of their victory.

However, Shi Bo is also right, they will wait for the faint light in Tibet.

This kind of rat-like life is not only a phenomenon that Shibo does not want to go, but also Kabe.

So after the two of them expressed their positions, he said: "Since this is the case, then let's start the first battle with Shikan." ”

"This is the orcs!"

...

1215 in the continental calendar, 10 p.m. on November 20, 335 in the imperial calendar,

After thirty-six hours of attacking and defending the Corvey Glade, it came to an end after the orc commander Cabe issued the order to retreat.

Pedi stood on the giant wooden wall, staring at the rapidly retreating orc army, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

He did not give the order to pursue,

He even stopped the archers and heavy crossbows on the towers from firing.

"It's the worst battlefield I've ever seen. Sir Bowenright appeared at Pedy's side at some point, and he looked at the slaughterhouse-like walls, "Even when we attacked Suker City thirteen years ago, it wasn't so bad!"

The old sir's words are not exaggerated at all,

At this moment, the area around the giant wooden wall is like a slaughterhouse... Severed arms, stumps, internal organs, minced flesh, blood everywhere, and, of course, the strong pungent smell of blood. Under the city walls, layer after layer of orc corpses filled almost the entire mountain, more than the livestock corpses in the slaughterhouse!

"Are we victorious?" Knight Sila had a penetrating wound in his abdomen, and although he had been treated by the Holy Force, the hideous cut on his armor still made his scalp tingle.

"Sort of. "I don't know why the orcs are retreating at this time, but it's impossible for them to regroup their forces to attack us. ”

The old knight was right, and it was almost impossible for the orcs to reorganize their troops to attack this retreat.

First of all, the order to retreat will make the morale of the orc warriors plummet, and secondly, after the orcs completely retreat, it is equivalent to burning all the previous efforts, including the nearly 10,000 warriors who died in battle!
