Every person has an "idea" about his own interpretation of himself or of life, that is, a pattern of life or a law of inertia, which will firmly trap him, although he does not understand this concept, and cannot analyze whether this view is good or bad, but such a concept will affect his life.

– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)

The death battalion, with 4,500 soldiers, was organized into nine full brigades by Lister, and he only sent six of them to meet the orc army, and the other three brigades remained with Lister to serve as a reserve force for the death battalion.

The 3,000 dead soldiers of the Death Battalion against the 3,000 orc warriors was originally a battle without suspense, but half of the 3,000 soldiers of the Orc Army were wounded and charged, which was indeed a rare opportunity for the dead soldiers of the Death Battalion.

Most of the weapons and equipment used in the death battalions, which are not taken seriously, are defective products that other units do not want, and even the military uniforms are of all kinds and colors; this kind of configuration, which is worse than that of the reserve units of the military headquarters, can be regarded as a typical cannon fodder configuration.

However, the weapons and equipment of the orc warriors are only inferior to those of the dead soldiers of the death battalion, and the orc warriors who only have weapons in hand rely on the support of strong individual combat strength on the battlefield.

The moment one of the dog-man warriors who rushed to the front plunged the short spear in his hand into the chest of a dead man, the two dead men next to the dead man stabbed their long swords into the dog-man warrior's abdomen.

Death row prisoners and robbers have a much stronger will to survive and fighting instincts than ordinary Imperial soldiers, and under the stimulation of blood, the mad dead men and crazy orcs begin a battle that makes the blood boil for onlookers.

There are no gorgeous tricks, no cumbersome tactics, only the most direct blood and fire fight; every second, there are unwilling dead soldiers killed by orcs, and there are also orcs who refuse to admit defeat are killed by dead soldiers, and the scene of flesh and blood flying once made the recruits of the Eastern Legion who watched the battle vomit.

Looking at the soldiers who vomited behind him, and then at the soldiers of the death battalion who were fighting desperately and bloodily in front of him, Etius, who was watching the battle, said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that the death battalion formed by death row prisoners and robber prisoners would have such a strong combat effectiveness!"

Cabitus, who rode alongside Aetius, heard Aetius say this, and also echoed it: "Yes, it is really unbelievable that these dead soldiers can fight with orc warriors!"

"Looking at the entire Fourth Route Army, the only ones that can confront the orc army head-on and not fall behind are the Yulin Legion with the general himself as the commander and the elite pro-guard corps; ”

Not necessarily. As soon as Cabitus's words were finished, Aetius shook his head and said, "The scale of the death battalion is too small, and the battle is fought by a fierce spirit, which will not last long, and more importantly, the general will not allow them to grow and grow." ”

While Aetius was talking to Gatitus, the two captains of the Legion, Keitel and Brauchitsch, who were with them, listened silently without saying a word, and with their seniority, even though they were both Legionnaires, they were not on an equal footing with Aetius.

There was a death battalion in front of the Eastern Legions, fighting desperately with the rushing orc army, and Aetius and other legion commanders who had enough time deployed the four Eastern legions in a semicircular shape, forming a semicircular encirclement of the battlefield in front of them.

The battle between the orcs and the dead men in the encirclement did not last long, and as Aetius said, the death battalion, which fought with a fierce spirit, showed a weak state after twenty minutes of bloody battle.

At this time, the commander of the Death Battalion, Lister, still had three brigades of dead soldiers who did not put in the soldiers, and the nine brigades that were put into battle were nearly a third dead, and the casualties of the orc army, which accounted for half of the wounded soldiers, were not much better than those of the Death Battalion.

Seeing that the dead soldiers of the death battalion were getting more and more inferior, the orc army was gradually grasping the initiative in the battle, and Lister, who knew that he and the death battalion had not yet completed the set task, decisively sent the last three brigades of reserve troops in his hands.

More than 2,100 dead soldiers, after receiving reinforcements from 1,500 dead soldiers, immediately launched a new offensive against the orc army;

It's not that the tiger man doesn't want to lead his orc warriors out of the battle, but he knows that he has no way to retreat; instead of evacuating the battle in vain, it is better to fight to the death to kill the enemy as much as possible, this is the idea of the tiger man strong.

It has to be said that the first battle of the death battalion took a big advantage; this orc army, first lost half of its soldiers under the heavy losses of the two Yulin divisions, and then retreated all the way non-stop, and finally met the death battalion before taking a breath.

The soldiers of the death battalion who received reinforcements became more and more brave and fought more and more deformable, while the tired orc warriors were getting more and more tired from fighting, and their combat effectiveness was gradually declining as time went by.

The situation that Bai Feng and Sofia feared never appeared, and Leonardo's Feather Forest Wing, along with the Eastern Legion, was reduced to a spectator force of the Death Battalion, and it was not until the Death Battalion overfulfilled the task given to them by White Peak that Lister ordered the Death Battalion, which had suffered heavy casualties, to withdraw from the battle.

Of the 4,500 dead soldiers who fought one after another, only 2,300 escaped the battle alive, and nearly half of the soldiers of the Death Battalion died in a bloody battle with the orc army, and the result they achieved was to kill more than 1,500 orc warriors!

At the cost of killing 2,200 soldiers and killing more than 1,500 orc warriors, such a record is worthy of pride in the Yulin Legion, not to mention the newly formed Death Battalion;

As soon as the dead soldiers of the death battalion on this side withdrew from the battle, the four Eastern Legions, each of which had already prepared, dispatched 3,000 soldiers to launch a final battle of annihilation against this remnant of the orc army.

The 12,000 soldiers of the Oriental Legion besieged and killed more than 1,300 remnants of the orcs, almost all of whom were wounded, and it was a battle without suspense;

To the disappointment of Aetius and Cabitus, the 12,000 soldiers of the four Eastern Legions paid the price of more than 1,500 soldiers killed and more than 2,700 wounded in order to annihilate this remnant army of orcs.

If it had not been for the record of the Death Battalion, the Eastern Legion would not have been able to achieve such a casualty ratio with the newly established Legion, but with the record of the Death Battalion as a comparison, the performance of the Eastern Legion can be described as clumsy.

Bai Feng, who witnessed all this, gave his first order after the war, which was to give a heavy reward of 1 million gold coins to the 2,300 dead soldiers who were still alive in the death camp, and in addition, the families of the 2,200 dead soldiers who died in the death camp could receive a pension of 500 gold coins.

In comparison, the families of fallen soldiers of the Eastern Legion could only receive a measly fifty gold coins, which was ten times more than the standard five gold coins of the Imperial Military Department, but it was a world of difference compared to the pension of the dead in the death battalion.

In the face of Bai Feng's differential treatment, the disgruntled officers and soldiers of the Eastern Legion did not even have the qualifications to oppose it, who let them perform so badly on the battlefield; the only thing that the officers and men of the Eastern Legion who felt humiliated by themselves could do was to turn the humiliation into motivation to work hard!
