The knights raised their shields from the forest and marched forward, countless parasite limbs crawling out of the gaps in their armor, forming a series of steel-like insect armor in front of them.

Seeing this strange scene, the enemy soldiers, after a brief moment of consternation, began to shoot desperately at these insect shields with muskets.

With a crisp crashing sound, cracks of varying sizes began to appear in the outermost layer of the dragonbone armor, but the tyrant's enhanced regenerative ability allowed the parasites to quickly repair their wounds.

Cumberland looked out through the eyelets in his helmet and ordered with a hive, "Three of you!" Close to the wounded orcs on the ground, use the dragon bones to cover the wounded to evacuate the battlefield. ”

The knights quickly dispersed, and the three of them formed a small team, each dividing the work, two of them were responsible for blocking the incoming bullets, and the other began to search for the orcs who were still alive.

Randall followed the two knights to a point sixty meters from the bunker, where he found a dying orc behind a broken wooden chest.

Dozens of bullets entered the orc's body, and blood soaked under him.

Randall crouched down and scrutinized the orc.

To Randall's relief, the bullet broke the orc's ribs and pierced his thigh, but it didn't hurt the opponent's vital parts - the head and heart.

Randall supported the orc's body with his arms, exerted his waist and abdomen, and used the power of the dragon bone to carry the orc's body, which weighed hundreds of pounds, onto his back, and moved towards the forest step by step.

Ackerman, who remained at the edge of the forest, assessed the situation on the battlefield and shouted to the Holy Cult Army: "The Minotaur step forward!

With these orders given, Ackerman unleashed his Compound Longbow from behind his back and climbed to the treetops, grazing the arrow across his palm, causing it to ignite a pale blue flame.

Then, he put the arrow on the bowstring and fired an arrow at the shooting hole of the distant bunker.

The arrow made a perfect arc in the air, and accurately drilled into the twenty-centimeter-wide gap of the shooting hole, triggering an explosion at the gap.

Fires and dust.

Ackerman's attack elicited heart-rending screams from behind the firing hole, and half of the muskets in the bunker were silenced for a short time.

Bulville, the Minotaur, with his thick hooves and heavy armor, slowly advanced towards the slowly retreating knight.

Approaching Randall, Bourwer nodded, picked up the wounded orc from the former's back, and turned to walk towards the forest, while the knights returned to the battlefield and continued their search for the next wounded.

Together with the elves, Barbara went to the flank of the battlefield, climbed the dense trees in the forest, and threw the enemy's attacks with the help of terrain and obstacles, such as Breath, Freeze, and Sonic Boom.

These ability attacks don't hurt the soldiers in the bunker, but they can kick up dust and block sight, making it more favorable for our rescue operations.

One wounded orc after another was rescued from the battlefield, but on the other hand, the enemy attacks became more and more fierce.

Under the cover of his lieutenants, Cumberland used his binoculars to look at the distant camp of the enemy army, which was crowded with people and guns.

"Reinforcements from the enemy are coming. Cumberland put down his binoculars and sighed, "It's time to retreat." ”

The adjutant said in surprise: "My lord, there are still some wounded soldiers on the battlefield. ”

Cumberland touched his chin and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Hesmond must have sent an army to the back of our army by now. It won't be long before they surround us. At that time, it will be too late to leave. ”

Patting the dejected adjutant, Cumberland turned around and said, "Remember, the first task of our presence here is not to save people. ”

"It's not to save people?

"Show attitude. ”

Five hours later, Cumberland returned to camp with his troops.

Sitting in the seat of the commander's tent, the old knight listened to Ackerman's battle report, and the expression on his face was not shocked.

"This time, the orcs' reckless combat behavior has brought great losses to our army. ”

"First of all, the loss of military strength, according to statistics, 62 orc soldiers were killed or missing, plus 229 seriously wounded who were unable to fight for a short time, adding up to almost half of the total strength of the orcs. ”

"Then there was the loss of materiel, and in this battle, we lost some of our combat materiel, including weapons and armor. Thankfully, we were able to recover all the keels. If these things fall into the hands of the enemy, the consequences are really unimaginable. ”

"Finally, morale ......" Ackerman glanced at Cumberland, "In the past, the Holy Cult Army has always thought that they are servants of the gods, and when facing mortals, they are almost invincible. But this time ......"

Cumberland stretched out his hand to stop Ackerman's speech and said, "Needless to say, gather all the shamans and commanders of the Holy Cult." ”

"Gather them for what?"

Cumberland pointed to a statue of a black dragon standing in the middle of the tent and said calmly, "Your Majesty is waiting for our explanation. ”

At the mention of the dragon god, beads of sweat oozed from Ackerman's forehead: "You mean that he already knows everything?"

Cumberland shook his head and said, "How could you not know? Have you forgotten? Any creature that completes the soul link with His Majesty will automatically enter the kingdom of heaven after death. ”

Ackerman let out a long sigh and said in frustration, "I understand, I'll go and inform them now." ”

Soon, all the shamans and commanders of the Holy Cult Army gathered in the camp.

Everyone already knew the cause and effect of the defeat in this battle, and almost everyone's face was full of anxiety and panic.

Cumberland walked up to the statue of the black dragon and said to everyone, "I think we all owe His Majesty an explanation. ”

After saying this, Cumberland put his palm on the statue, and the next second, his consciousness was directly sucked into the soul space.

The dragon perched atop the snowy peaks, squinting at everything at the foot of the mountain.

Cumberland's appearance, as if the dragon had expected, did not cause him the slightest surprise.

Cumberland wanted to speak and stopped: "Your Majesty ......"

Todd raised his head: "You don't have to say anything. ”

Raising the dragon's claws, Todd pulled all the people in the tent into the soul space, and the dark golden dragon pupils stared at them without saying a word.

Under the dragon's gaze, the people in the Holy Cult Army fell to their knees in fear, loudly confessing their sins.

Ignoring these people's words, Todd raised the dragon's claws again, and another group of souls entered the space and stood in front of everyone's eyes.

When people looked at it, they all saw that these souls were orcs, and they were none other than the soldiers of the Holy Cult who had just been killed in battle.

Todd waved his dragon wings, and a huge black vortex several kilometers long suddenly appeared in the sky, and the sound of thunder was faintly heard from inside.

"Let's go, I'm going to take you somewhere. ”
