Volume II: Academy Chapter 0194: On the Run
Earl Iowen's order caused a lot of turmoil among the people, but no one questioned it, let alone objected to it.
The evacuation proceeded in order, the tight defensive line slowly crumbled, and finally the defenders on all four walls withdrew, and the orc army did not notice anything unusual.
Count Al Owen deceived Alice, and he deceived everyone as well, saying that he had no way out, when in fact he had left a way out.
However, this way back is not left to himself, but to these survivors.
The silence in the tunnel was terrifying, and the whining wind came from the vents, as if a ghost was howling, and occasionally a wolf could be heard running overhead.
At this point, everyone immediately stops and stops breathing.
Because the wolf's sense of smell and hearing is extremely sensitive, it can be easily detected if it does not do so.
In this way, everyone sneaked out of Moonlight Town quietly along the tunnel dug by one of the heads of the Windsor family, and after about two hours, everyone had safely evacuated except for the people who stayed behind to be bait.
Renard and the others were the last to evacuate, and when they walked out of the tunnel, there was not even half a human figure around.
This was arranged in advance, and everyone evacuated in different directions in batches to ensure that they would not be caught all in one go.
Alice walked out of the tunnel and couldn't help but look back at the moonlight town in the distance, and tears suddenly flowed uncontrollably.
Women are just too emotional, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Renard patted her on the shoulder, not sure what to say.
Robertson, the deputy captain of Lei Ye's team, walked over and said softly, "Let's go quickly, don't waste a piece of the earl's kindness." ”
As he spoke, he lifted his backpack up, and of course it was not gold and silver, but the suicide notes of countless people.
Alice, a very courageous woman, touched her tears, looked at the camp of the orc army with hatred, and said, "I will be back." ”
Forgive Lei Ye's thinking for jumping too fast, this sentence suddenly reminded him of the gray wolf, so he pushed the other party awkwardly and urged: "Let's go, let's go." ”
Then the squad of more than forty people moved quickly and ran towards the south.
Renard's target is Far Away City, which is located sixty kilometers southeast of Moonlight Town.
Far Away City is a military powerhouse, with a total of 6,000 elite troops of the Empire, and it is the forward position to stop the orcs from marching.
After arriving at the distant city, walk two hundred kilometers east to the Golden Silk Willow City, where they will be safe.
However, it backfired, and as soon as they ran a few miles, the howling of the wolf cavalry was heard behind them, apparently discovering an anomaly.
"Get down!" Renard exclaimed in a low voice, and then quickly fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the others followed suit and buried their bodies in the dense grass, but fortunately they were all sergeants and reacted quickly, and if they were a few seconds at night, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Because within ten seconds of them lying down, dozens of wolf cavalry suddenly jumped out from less than a hundred meters away from them, and then roared past, heading straight for the southeast.
Renard's face was ugly: "It looks like our plan is going to fail." ”
Everyone naturally knew what he meant, and looking at this posture, the road from Moonlight Town to Distant City had long been cut off by the orc army.
It is even said that the distant city may have fallen, and the orc army is hovering around the Golden Silk Willow City.
When the wolf cavalry roared away, everyone got up in embarrassment, and then looked at each other.
Alice, the highest-ranking member of the team, made a quick decision: "Let's go straight south." ”
To the south, Renard unfolded the map and looked at it, then asked, "To the Pampas?"
The Pampas Grassland is next to the Boleton Meadows, but is divided into two parts by the huge Red River Rift, the Boleton Meadows to the west belongs to the Orc Empire, and the Pampas Grasslands to the east belong to the Duchy of Helo.
The Heluo people have lived on the grassland for generations, and they are a grassland people in the true sense, they are known as the lions of the grassland, and they claim to be the descendants of the invincible god of war.
If there is a human cavalry in this world that is feared by the orc wolf cavalry, it is none other than the Lancelot Ranger Regiment of the Principality of Heluo, who represent the best cavalry in the Northern Continent.
For hundreds of years, they had fought the Orc Empire the most, with small battles of tens of thousands of men almost every ten years, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of people every fifty years.
The warlike wind of the Heluo people is better than that of the orcs.
Of course, this is not to say that the Principality of Helo is rich and powerful, in fact, the total population of this country is less than six million, and it depends on animal husbandry for a living.
However, what is frightening is that there are more than a million permanent troops in this country, that is, one in six people is a warrior.
Helo men are trained from birth, they are thrown into the ice and snow for two hours, and those who are alive will be eligible to inherit the inheritance of the god of war.
This God of War inheritance is naturally not something like a secret book of exercises, but it means that from now on you are a warrior of the Principality of Heluo.
You can get enough gold and silver food and cattle and horses every year, and you can not produce, but you have to train every day, from equestrianism to martial arts, to commanding battles.
At the age of fourteen, you'll join the Ranger Legion to defend the two million kilometres of the Pampas, while encircling the Orcs of the Boleton Grasslands.
In the entire northern continent, I am afraid that the only one who dares to oppose the orcs at all times is the Heluo Principality.
Of course, such a huge military expenditure cannot be afforded by the Principality of Heluo, which has to be borne by several surrounding countries that have been poisoned by orcs for a long time.
First of all was the Empire of Constantinople, which had to pay more than two million gold coins a year to the Duchy of Heluo, as well as various weapons, armor, food, medicine, cloth, salt, oil, and so on.
The total value of these miscellaneous things is also more than two million gold coins, which means that the empire has to pay it a "protection fee" of four million gold coins every year.
However, it is only one of them, and the Kingdom of Betty in the southwest, the Morton Empire in the north, and the Kingdom of Yves Saint Laurent in the south also have to pay a lot of "protection fees".
Moreover, when the Principality of Heluo carried out a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation against the orcs, the four countries also had to pay additional military salaries and post-war pensions.
Of course, these are all worth it, and things that can be solved with money are better than with life.
It was precisely because of the containment of the Heluo Principality that the Orc Empire was completely pressed against the Bolton grassland, unable to stretch out its claws to any area around it.
That is to say, even if everyone enters the territory of the Principality of Heluo, even if they borrow ten courage from the orcs, they will not dare to go to the Pampas grassland to spread wild.
The orcs who dared to spread wild on the Pampas still have their heads planted on the flag of the Duchy of Helo on the east side of the Red River Rift.
