Chapter 179: The Deteriorating Situation

"But that's not your problem, ma'am. ”

Looking at the empty left sleeve of the witch Lin, Zhu Xiao's heart was also very uncomfortable. But for the decadence that witch Lin is showing now, Zhu Xiao is even more unpleasant.

So after stepping forward and narrowing the distance between the two, Zhu Xiao also looked into the eyes of the witch Lin and said, "Yesterday, we were not cautious enough to let the orcs corrode Yao with that damn axe.

But that doesn't mean you have to blame for everything. If you really feel guilty, then you should now be more energetic and do your best to protect Anseong. We can't let the incident in Xiping City repeat itself!"

“......”

Witch Lin looked at Zhu Xiao and didn't say anything, but immediately turned her gaze to the west. But after that, just when Zhu Xiao was about to continue to say something. Then I heard the witch Lin say in a tone that was almost a gambling curse: "I will definitely let those orcs pay for their blood debts, and I have guaranteed my life!"

It was just that there was no word all night, and when it came to the second morning, the huge coalition of orcs was dispatched again.

The death of the Grand Patriarch of the Demon Axe Tribe, Hasen, had a great impact on the coalition forces. Thankfully, with Davout, Chagan and Agoura all present, it was Hasen, the weakest, who died.

Therefore, at this moment, the coalition army, which had already gained a lot of wealth in Xiping City, would not disperse in a hurry. Relying on the lucrative war dividends and revenge slogans, Davout and the others barely managed to stabilize the situation of the coalition forces.

So he decided to continue east, but further east, everything would be completely foreign to the orcs today. Therefore, they first sent three teams of 100 people to investigate the surroundings, and when they really found other cities, they led the army to rush up.

In this way, in just two days, two more cities fell one after another. The orcs thus determined that a city like Xiping City was a special case within a special case.

Compared to Xiping City, which was difficult to attack with many defenders, taking the other two cities was as simple as taking something out of your pocket. Although there are also residents and believers in these two cities who resist desperately, to the huge orc army, it is really insignificant that it is only hundreds or thousands of ordinary residents resisting.

So after these two battles, the orc coalition also became full of confidence.

"As I said, we will destroy this kingdom of mankind. And we will have untold riches and a great number of slaves!"

After a series of victories, in the evening, the orcs held a banquet in the third small city they had conquered. As the commander of the coalition forces, Davout made a speech, and then discussed with Chagan and Agoura, who were present, the next strategic goal.

Because they obtained a map of the Xihe Kingdom, they truly understood the vastness and number of city-states of the Xihe Kingdom. Then, in order to achieve the goal as much as possible, the orc army will not sweep down one city-state after another.

Instead, they prepared to follow the road marked on the map and go straight to the capital of the Xihe Kingdom.

"Then from this map, this is the city we need to attack tomorrow. ”

He poked his finger hard at the map, and the location where Davout poked with his finger was Anseong, where the remnants of the army had gathered. It's just that Davout didn't know that Ancheng at this time was already empty for people.

The person who gave the order was Bishop Lime, and when the panicked griffin knight learned from the mouth of the panicked griffin knight that Xiping Castle had fallen and that the remnants of the army were gathering in Anseong, Bishop Lime gave the order to retreat.

At the end of the day, Anseong's geographical location is different from that of Seopyeongseong. Xiping City is the western gate of the entire kingdom, a strategic place that cannot be bypassed. But Ancheng is different, even if the orcs can't defeat Ancheng, they can bypass Anseong.

It would be pointless to hold on to Anseong from a higher strategic level. What's more, the residents of Anseong have also been evacuated in advance, so there is no need for the city to be strictly defended.

So after consulting with his subordinates, Bishop Lime ordered the witch Lin to lead the remnants of the army to retreat east to Linshui City, two hundred miles away.

Waterfront City, as the name suggests. This is a city built on the riverside. The turbulent river called the Daqing River flows from south to north, running through the entire Xihe territory.

Waterfront City is located on the east bank of the river, guarding one of the largest large ferries on the river. So when the witch Lin received the order to retreat, she agreed without much thought.

After all, geographically speaking, the city is indeed more defensible.

The only question is "what about the other cities in the western part of the kingdom, and who will protect the inhabitants!?"

Zhu Xiao frowned, but in the west of the Xihe Kingdom, that is, west of the Daqing River, in addition to Ancheng, Xiping City and the two small cities conquered by the orcs, there were still six or seven cities with more than 200,000 residents and believers. So no matter what, it's really hard to leave all these people behind.

However, in today's situation, it is simply impossible to achieve the best of both worlds. Witch Lin sighed, and all she could do was to ask the Wyvern Knight and Griffin Knight to inform the entire Westlands of the Populace so that they could evacuate quickly.

If you can leave a minute earlier, you will leave a minute earlier. In this way, although it is inevitable that many people will die, it is also the limit of what the witch Lin can do.

There is no way, at the moment when Xiping City fell, the initiative in this war has already been taken by the orcs.

Therefore, when leading the remnants of the soldiers out of Anseong, the witch Lin's sideburns turned white. She knew that in the next few days, she was afraid that thousands of people would die tragically under the orcs' swords and axes.

And the reason for all this is because she failed to successfully defend Xiping City. The stress and self-blame caused the witch Lynn to almost lose her head overnight, so much so that on the morning she left Anseong, she prayed to atone for her sins.

I hope that the God she believes in can forgive her sins, and I hope that God can give her a revelation as he did the previous times, so that she can no longer be so confused.

But unfortunately, her "god" is still asleep. I still don't know anything about what is happening in the outside world. So there was no revelation, and there was no response. It made the witch Lin's heart even more sad.

However, although the god does not know what is happening in the outside world, Archbishop Bell, who has been living in the holy land of the tribe, finally learned about what happened in the distant Xihe the morning before the witch Lin and the others evacuated Anseong.

As a result, in the holy land of the tribe, a huge war drum that had never been beaten since its establishment was also beaten heavily!
