Chapter 1031 Retreat is Advance
"Do you think that with His Majesty's commander, this way of life is really so easy to open? The Eternal Night Army Leader is not something to provoke, and in the few encounters we have with them, that one time has been curryed over? Otherwise, Prince Scambarge would not have to advocate for an alliance and want to settle the dispute between the two sides through negotiations. ”
"I have said a long time ago, there should be no alliance, this is a foolish act to show weakness to the enemy, we lost the first two battles, it was because in a land that we are not familiar with, using methods that we are not familiar with, this time is different, we are standing on the savannah we are most familiar with, as long as we are united like wolves, those from the mountains will definitely not be our opponents. ”
"Put away your ignorant and ridiculous thoughts, the power of the Eternal Night Army's repeating rifle, you have not seen it, in front of this new weapon with long range, great power and fast rate of fire, the bravery of our Odin is a joke, before we rushed in front of the enemy, the enemy's weapon took the first step to overturn us, and a hundred of them equipped with this weapon can withstand the charge of our thousands of warriors, and now it is no longer the era of simple competition in numbers.
Besides, don't you know what is going on in your own tribe right now?
Most of the warriors haven't had a full meal in months, and it's still a question of whether they can still wield a strong bow!
Now it's more about filling the numbers, and starting a war is to push them to their death!"
"It is not possible to advance, nor can it be retreated, and there is no trace of Your Majesty, but you should tell me, what should we do now?
The disappearance of Ulan Bari has turned the entire army of the Western Odin Empire into a pot of gruel.
Spooky icebergs, dilapidated camps, and the remnants of miserable corpses.
All show that Ulaanbazhi has encountered an accident.
But no Odin orc chief wants to think about it.
It's not that they are loyal to Ulan Bari, but that the West Odin Empire is in a difficult situation now, and it needs Ulaanbari as a co-owner who can be recognized by everyone.
If something happens to him, the Theodin Empire is likely to immediately collapse and become a group of scattered sands fighting on their own, and at that time, they will have no strength to confront the Eternal Night Leader.
However, their huge size doomed them to not be able to stay in the same grassland for a long time.
The flock's need for aquatic plants drove them to move east and east, and soon left the Cook Wastes behind and entered the East Odin grasslands controlled by the Eternal Night Commander.
Along the way, although they came across the military garrison of the Eternal Night Army, all of them went to the empty building.
Although the Theodin Empire is weak now, it is huge, and an outpost is self-defeating to confront them.
The outpost rangers of the outpost led by the Eternal Night Army did not go far, but hovered around the large forces of the Western Odin Empire like lone wolves, monitoring their every move.
"Patriarch, I don't understand, why do you want to retreat? Could it be that the lord is willing to give up the grassland that we have so hard to purify and restore to those stupid destroyers?"
"I don't understand, it's too much to do, isn't it already a defeat before the battle, and I want me to say that we should give them a frontal charge, let them see the bravery of our Kentana warriors, and let them know that this land has a new owner.
If you look at the appearance of those Theodin orcs, many of them are already hungry, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to carry a knife, let alone open a bow, give me 10,000 Koley beast heavy cavalry, 50,000 eternal night orc light cavalry, and I promise to defeat them in a battle.
Ten thousand Kolei beast heavy cavalry is not easy to collect, give me five thousand. ”
"The battle is definitely going to be fought, but not now. ”
"Not now, when was that?"
"Do you know what kind of beast is the most terrifying in this world?"
"Nonsense, of course those ferocious predators. ”
"Wrong. ”
"I know, it's those beasts in despair, isn't there a saying called the battle of trapped beasts?"
"That's right, it's the beast that has fallen into despair, the current West Odin Empire is in this state, they now look weaker than ever, the spirit of the entire empire has been squeezed dry by natural disasters, in fact, the most murderous, the most lifeless time, especially when we prevent them from entering the East Odin grassland, for them, it is a battle of life and death, in order to survive, they will fight with us with their lives.
Even in the event of the loss of their co-owner, Ulaanba Ri, they will unite and unite with the outside world.
If at this time, we go up hard, even if we win the final victory with our strong force and equipment, I am afraid that we will pay a heavy price.
What's more, we have to conquer not only the bodies of those Odin orcs, but also their spirits and souls.
The former is easy, the latter is difficult. ”
"I still don't understand what this has to do with our retreat to the east and let them go straight in!"
"Is your head made of elm? Why don't you open your mind? When their survival is greatly threatened, they are still trapped and fighting, but when they get enough water and grass and see the hope of survival, I am afraid that many people will let go of the bite in their hearts, and they will not have the courage to fight each other with death, especially when the nomadic area is limited and unevenly distributed, we will have a hard fight with them, what do you guess will happen?"
"Needless to say, there will definitely be a split within them. ”
"Finally a little enlightened, would you rather face the kind of enemy who is not afraid of death and is united, or is it the kind of enemy who fights separately and has evil intentions?"
"This still needs to be asked, of course, it is the kind of battle that fights for itself, and there may be a scene of falling into the wind at that time, this strategy of calculating human nature to the extreme is definitely not something that the chief can think of, is it the hand of the lord. ”
"Except for the lord, who has such a skill, who has so much power?"
"If this is a plan made by the lord himself, then there is no problem, everything we are paying now, it won't be long before those orcs from the west will spit out to us, the only thing that makes people worry is the safety of those lighthouse trees, will those barbarians of the Theodin Empire destroy the lighthouse trees?"
"There is a certain danger, but it is not as big as we think, for two reasons.
First, those Odin orcs don't know the true details of the lighthouse tree at all, and trees are very precious resources in the grassland, and they can't protect them yet, so how can they cut down and destroy them without authorization?
The second is that the real roots of the lighthouse tree are underground, and even if that part of the surface is damaged, there is no way to really kill them, and when they retreat, a new lighthouse tree will grow again.
The lord must have taken these questions into account, and what we need to do now is to carry out the lord's orders. ”
"It's because we're thinking too much, what are we waiting for? Move, move, move, today's withdrawal is only temporary, and it won't be long before we will be killed. ”
Soon, a strange picture appeared in the East Odin steppe.
Two armies, one advancing and one retreating.
The retreating one was unhurried and orderly.
The one that entered was chaotic, like a group of bandits crossing the border.
When it first entered the East Odin grassland, the army of the West Odin Empire as a whole was still able to maintain unity, but when faced with the temptation of abundant water and grass, the interior completely exploded, especially those small and medium-sized tribes who were only one step away from annihilation.
Many took advantage of the night to disappear into the vast East Oding grassland.
They joined the army of the Theodin Empire not for some noble purpose, but for survival.
Their rich experience of living in the Odin steppes tells them that those truly fertile grasslands will not fall into their hands no matter what.
Rather than waiting for the chieftains to finish dividing the territory, it is more realistic to let their skinny cattle and sheep fatten.
And the high-ranking members of the Western Odin Empire, who have lost their supreme ruler, are also quarreling for their own interests, and they are not giving in to each other, and the entire army of the Western Odin Empire is facing disintegration.
"Chiefs, be quiet, and listen to me, don't you think the reaction of the Eternal Night Leader is abnormal?"
"Abnormal? What is abnormal? to be specific. ”
"The retreat is very abnormal, their posture has always been strong, and they have even put on the posture of starting an all-out war with us and not allowing us to enter the East Odin steppe, and now all of a sudden, they are retreating without firing a single arrow, of course it is very abnormal. ”
"What's so strange about that? Preserve the strength, even if the equipment of the Eternal Night Army is advanced, no matter how brave the soldiers are, it can't change the fact that they are scarce, their population in the East Odin grassland, plus those shameful traitors, will not exceed two million when they are full, and throw away the women and children, the number of soldiers they can gather will not exceed 300,000, and how vast the East Odin grassland, if they choose to defend on the whole line, this point will be thrown in, and it will disappear, on the contrary, it is a wise choice to concentrate superior forces and confront us by retreating now。 ”
"Compared with the statement of preserving strength, I believe that this is a tactic of the Eternal Night Army Leader against us, to fascinate our eyes with the fertile East Odin grasslands with water and grass, so that our brother tribes will be estranged and then divided, you open your eyes and look around, every night, how many clansmen will quietly drive cattle and sheep away from us? If it continues like this, we don't need the enemy to fight at all, and we ourselves will be torn apart first. ”
"The departure of the clansmen, we know this matter, this is completely forced to helpless, our current team is too large, even if it is the East Odin grassland with fertile water and grass, there is no way to support our huge volume, the most fertile water and grass are occupied by those big tribes first, they and their cattle and sheep are always the worst eaten, they are already in a desperate situation, they don't leave, they will die on the way, Chief Hari Chagai can't be too thirsty for them, they are just to live, in fact, not only they have to leave, we have already decided, our tribe will also leave tomorrow, after a hundred kilometers to the northand then march side by side with the army. ”
"What? You want to leave too? No, I don't agree, Tiger Eyes is an important part of our army, you leave, not only will greatly weaken our strength, but also send a signal to those small tribes who don't know the situation, speed up their pace of coming, maybe one day wake up, our army will fall apart, this is exactly what the Eternal Night Army leader wants, their army will inevitably backlash back. ”
"No, Chief Harichagai, what qualifications do you have to order us? Don't think that you are the only smart person in the whole camp, you know, we don't know, it's just that we are together, it is also a kind of chronic suicide, most of the summer has passed, if we don't hurry up and let the cattle and sheep scatter and stick to the fat, the significance of our crusade and going deep into the East Odin steppe will no longer exist. ”
"This is the terrible thing about the Eternal Night Army, just a seemingly simple retreat, it directly put us on the fire rack, we can't advance or retreat, if they fight with us openly, even if there are heavy casualties, our situation is stronger than now. ”
"It's useless to say this now, for the future of the tribe, the continuation of the tribe, our tribe, we must leave tomorrow. ”
"It seems that your mind has been decided, no matter how I stop it, I'm afraid it won't help, I only hope that after your tribe leaves, don't scatter too far, it's best to keep roaming with each other, and be able to cooperate and help each other as always, once that tribe is attacked, it's best for other tribes to help each other, only when we unite can we have the strength to fight against the Eternal Night Commander, otherwise what awaits us is division and cannibalization." ”
"Rest assured, chief, we still have this understanding, I hope to say goodbye today, and there will be a chance to see you again in the future, may Odin bless you. ”
"May Odin bless!"
How could those chieftains and leaders of the Theodin Empire not know that the strength united is the most powerful, so that the Eternal Night Army Leaders are afraid of three points and dare not do anything to them.
The reality of the situation made it impossible for them to do so, even if they chose to grit their teeth and persevere, the clansmen below them would not allow them to do so.
These people don't have such a high level of consciousness, they can only see the immediate benefits, if they also choose to join the ranks of leaving.
At that time, it is not only a weakening of the entire army, but also a weakening of their tribes, rather than this, it is better to separate the tribes into tribes, at least when they are attacked, there are still connections between the tribes, and they rely on each other to help.
The large forces of the Western Odin Empire had to continue to advance due to their own reasons, and they were getting farther and farther away from the Cook Wasteland.
Sean stayed in the Cook Wasteland step by step, guarding around the elemental iceberg, and did not dare to leave a single step.
